Database WelcomeWelcome to this database regarding the superpowers of the human biomind.When this database is completed ahead in time, it will contain all of the novelconcepts and factors which have so far been discovered to be meaningful for abroader understanding of the superpowers.The superpowers of the human biomind are essentially defined as those inherentfaculties of our species which transcend time, matter, energy and space in termsof awareness, consciousness and phenomena which are more subtle and illusive.The transcending can be subconscious, subliminal, or conscious -- or, perhaps,superconscious.Certain aspects of the superpower faculties work spontaneously at times,resulting in many historical and modern anecdotes of such experiencing. It is thelong historical record of such experiencing which attests to the factual existenceof the indwelling superpower faculties.There is an important distinction, though, between (1) the spontaneousoccurrences, and (2) conscious, cognitive interacting with the superpowerfaculties. But the historical record of our species shows that various societiestolerant of the superpowers did permit development of various kinds of consciousinteracting with them.While working on government funded projects, beginning in 1973, it becamenecessary to distinguish new thresholds of understanding. It also becamenecessary to depart from those concepts of parapsychology and psychicalresearch which had become too generally standardized and a matter ofconvention rather than of innovative insight.It was found that many concepts meaningful to the superpowers were beingignored, others were not understood to be relevant, and gaping holes werediscovered regarding important information which needed to be filled in. New andinnovating understanding was necessary.What came to be known as remote viewing was the central pillar of the research.But this pillar also served as a developmental core regarding information about allof the other superpowers. The active research lasted for about fifteen years -after which a new "map" of the superpowers could be drawn.This map is still tentative, however, because much needs to be added to it, eWelcome.html (1 of 2)7/31/2004 3:12:05 PM

Database Welcomewhich many will doubtlessly do as the decades pass on into the future.As the noble Aldous Huxley might have put it, here, then, is the beginnings of aBrave New World in this database and in the other sections of this site.In constructing this database, I have elected not to organize it as a whole nor todetermine which topics are more important than others. Very many issues need tobe considered, and each of which have their firm place within the larger picture ofthe superpowers.And since people are different one from the other and have their own intellectualand experiential viewpoints, I've decided to construct this database as anextensive series of topics and essays for those who want to consider thempiecemeal and perhaps find some nuance of understanding.Real understanding is not possible unless information can be integrated. Eachessay in this database deals piecemeal with a different topic or subject. Buteventually those who read them with interest may begin to see how the manypiecemeal topics integrate both in terms of comprehension and of experiencing.Thanks for accessing this database -- and blessings on you.Cordially,Ingo SwannIngo Database Real Story Contributed Papers Contributed RV Papers Superpowers/ET Intel RV Honor Roll Superpowers ArtMiscellaneous Reviews Species Guild Welcome HomeCopyright 2003, Ingo Swann.

Front MatterDEDICATIONThis book is especially dedicated to those of the next century soon to be upon us, and who will at lastopen up and develop the superpowers of the human bio-mind.But it is also profoundly dedicated to those very many of the past who, in small and big ways, helpedconsolidate and open that particular doorway into the superpowers, that doorway called "remoteviewing."But this book is also, and perhaps principally, dedicated to that astonishing timeless phenomenon calledhuman memory -- but which perhaps might be called our species collective bio-mind memory, and inwhich the superpowers perpetually dwell.FORTHCOMING ADDITIONSDr. H. E. Puthoff, former director of the Psychoenergetics Project at Stanford Research Institute, hasagreed to provide an Introduction for this book.Major General Edmund R. Thompson, U.S.A. (Ret.), former Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, U.S. Army 1977-1981, has agreed to provide a Foreword.The Introduction and Foreword will be introduced into the book when they are received.At some point ahead, as the serialization extends, a Table of Contents will be inserted.The production of this book is a rather momentous effort, and the effort to produce it has to be timeshared with the author's other necessary activities. And so it is anticipated that the Internet presentationof the Real Story will take over a year.AUTHOR'S PREFACEI had never planned to write this book. In the past there were compelling reasons not to do so. In anyevent, I thought someone else would eventually take a deep, serious interest and do THE book on remoteviewing.Because the story of remote viewing is a substantial one from a number of viewpoints, I had anticipatedthat such a book would be a scholarly one, and would clarify all of the issues involved and render themunderstandable for historical purposes.*Most of the issues involved are straightforward ones when seen in their own contexts and times -- ryFront.html (1 of 15)7/31/2004 3:12:09 PM

Front Matterwhich times began in 1971, after which the issues remained more or less straight-forward until about1988.This was the seventeen-year period during which the elements of controlled remote viewing (CRV) weregradually separated out from a somewhat ambiguous morass of parapsychological phenomena, thenrefined until it was an entity of and within itself, complete with a novel nomenclature appropriate to it.*In its refined and developed state, its chief characteristics were twofold:- its gradual increase in scope, precision and accuracy; and- its closeness more to general human potential rather than to special things seen as psychic orparapsychological.When remote viewing was understood, even in its natural state in individuals, it was no longerambiguous, but seen as a precise set of existing faculties against which the ambiguous term "psychic"was no longer useful.*After 1988, though, the year I retired from active research, what might be called the decomposition ofremote viewing began to set in.Conceptual distortions began to occur, with the tendency to return the formerly strategic characteristicsback into the ambiguous morass of parapsychological and psychic phenomena.*After about 1990, the decomposition proceeded at a rapid rate -- one reason being that the term "remoteviewing" went public and was seized upon by many as a scientifically dignified replacement term for"psychic."Thereafter, just about anything could be called "remote viewing," just about anyone could callthemselves a "psychic remote viewer" -- and ambiguity had once again been achieved. Back to squareone, as it were.*Another reason for the decomposition was that the demand for precision and accuracy in which theintelligence community had invested its efforts was, in the public domain, not really necessary.As we will see later in the text, it was to be the scope and increase of accuracy which identified theoriginal formats of remote viewing, and especially controlled remote viewing, and which accounted forthe long duration of the intelligence community's effort.The authenticating of such high-stage accuracy could only be determined by adequate and long-termtesting, record keeping, and equally long-term oversight processes and /RealStoryFront.html (2 of 15)7/31/2004 3:12:09 PM

Front Matter*There do exist extremely gifted natural remote viewers, of course. It happened that I was one of them,and I know of four others.But in general the raw (so to speak) forms of remote viewing do not produce the high-stage accuracyabsolutely mandatory for intelligence purposes -- and this was the case even regarding my own naturalaptitudes at the start-up of the discovery and development phase.*In any event, there are a few things that cannot be ambiguous -- and remote viewing proficiency andaccuracy are two of them.And so when, in the went-public stage, latter-day formats of "remote viewing" began detaching fromTESTED, DEMONSTRATED and CONFIRMED proficiency and accuracy, the decomposition ofremote viewing proceeded apace.*But even so, those latter-day formats served to bring about two essential and constructive effects.They served to bring the concepts of remote viewing to larger public attention.As to the second constructive effect, I, at least, am of the opinion that any work regarding remoteviewing is better than none at all -- for all of it helps to shift the direction of human awareness towardthe real existence of the superpowers of the human bio-mind.In the end, the absolute need for demonstrated and tested accuracy of any format of remote viewing willwin the day. Remote viewing formats not up to this will disappear.*Nonetheless, the decomposition period entered many distortions into the public situation. And so it ispart of the factual history of remote viewing to meet up with the details of this decomposition -- as wewill do much later in the book under the general heading of "The Fall of Remote Viewing."*I suppose that most of the distortions might have been avoided, at least in an historical perspective, ifsomeone as an insider had earlier produced a substantial book regarding the how and why of remoteviewing. The public would then have had something by which to judge things.I was the most logical person to do this -- for although very many were strategically involved in remoteviewing I was intimately familiar with the entire history of remote ealStoryFront.html (3 of 15)7/31/2004 3:12:09 PM

Front MatterHowever, the real story of remote viewing has always been encumbered with the secrecy whichgradually surrounded it after 1972.The secrecy initially involved attempts to protect the identities of certain government agencies whichinvolved themselves with remote viewing and with what was referred to as the Psi Warfare Gap duringthe Cold War era.*The secrecy was never really very good.*Various major media waves of the 1970s and early 1980s rather forthrightly exposed the players in suchplaces as THE WASHINGTON POST and TIME magazine, etc. The arch-digger of secretiveinformation, Jack Anderson, often appeared to be given deliberate and quite accurate leaks which hejoyfully exposed in his syndicated columns.Many supposed that the leaks were engineered to frighten the Soviets and the KGB of the Cold War erawith the fact that the United States was indeed developing competent "psychic spies."*In any event, if secrecy means totally black projects maintained completely invisible, the research anddevelopment of remote viewing and who sponsored it never enjoyed anything of the kind.Yet, the pall of secrecy overhung the real story of remote viewing, at least as far as its insiders wereconcerned, and so none of them wished to step forward.*As any secrecy specialist knows, secrecy can have unpredictable ou
