Able to affect the oscillations.
He said that for some reason, starting when he was a little kid, he would try to focus on some news item or whatever and he'd suddenly get some kind of picture in his mind about what was going on and later he would check it out and it turned out to be false. Correct. So he just said, you know, I just... So he stumbled upon remote viewing.

It is very different. And as we might discuss later, I've got some ideas about, you know, what some of the quantum mechanisms might be involved in that. But anyway, as far as the CIA was concerned, they were most interested in this ability to see through shielding.

And they said, does that mean if we have all kinds of classified documents and a superconducting safe, the Russians might be able to, you know, reach in and see them? And so that's what they were most worried about. And so anyway... Did you find that to be true?

That started a whole program when we found out that it was true, that we started out doing what you would think, just hiding things in the next room and can you describe them and stuff like that. But then he got bored. He said, well, if you want to know what's in the next room, go look. If you want to know what's in the envelope or the box, open it up. So he said, well, what do you have in mind?

He said, well, just send somebody out into the San Francisco Bay Area and I'll describe where they are. And so that's how what we call remote viewing program got started. We started doing experiments, which each – I got to say, I resisted this stuff every inch along the way because as a physicist, I had no idea how this could possibly be. But nonetheless, we began working with him.

Our lab director, who's always concerned about was this some kind of hoax between the subjects and the experimenters – He'd make up a long list and store them in his safe, and we'd go get an envelope out of the safe, leave SRI, drive to wherever the envelope said, and he would give a description. That's how that whole program got started.

It was very challenging, I got to say, because as a physicist and as a quantum physicist where I've written equations for all kinds of interactions, I had no clue how anything like this could possibly be. And I'll be honest, I still don't really have a clue about exactly what's going on other than consciousness seems to be expandable out into the environment in a way that we don't usually –
