From Guerrilla Funding by Paul H. Smith, IRVA President:
Opinion polls regularly show that a large majority of the populace continues to recognize the reality of ESP and other of what we have come to call 'paranormal' phenomena. The smaller minority who don't believe in these things include many in the intellectual elite - the scientists and skeptics who make up today's Old Guard. They are the ones who hold the purse strings. As long as we must rely on them to open up those purses before we can do more real research into non-local consciousness, that research will never be done!

"Science and the taboo of psi" with Dean Radin
Dean Radin video presentation January 15th, 2008 -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_O9Qiwqew
"Do telepathy, clairvoyance and other "psi" abilities exist? The majority of the general population believes that they do, and yet fewer than one percent of mainstream academic institutions have any faculty known for their interest in these frequently reported experiences. Why is a topic of enduring and widespread interest met with such resounding silence in academia? The answer is not due to a lack of scientific evidence, or even to a lack of scientific interest, but rather involves a taboo. I will discuss the nature of this taboo, some of the empirical evidence and critical responses, and speculate on the implications."

Remote Viewing & the Transformation of Consciousness
September 12, 2008 - September 14, 2008
Rhinebeck Campus: Rhinebeck, NY (US)
Tuition: $285 (does not include accommodations or commuter fee)
Member Tuition: $260
Course: SM08-4502-172
What do the healer, the mystic, the psychic, and the spy all have in common? According to physicist and author Russell Targ, they are all in touch with the nonlocal mind-the ability to transcend time and space. In this workshop, we practice and experience a range of psychic abilities, including extrasensory perception, precognition, intuitive diagnosis, distance healing, and remote viewing. We learn how to recognize actual psychic signals and separate them from the mental noise of memory, imagination, and analysis.
We also explore the real X-files and the spiritual implications of psychic abilities, drawing on the mystical Hindu teachings of Patanjali and the Tibetan dzogchen dharma masters.
Recommended reading: Targ and Houston, Limitless Mind and Targ and Hurtak, The End of Suffering.
A pioneer in the development of the laser and laser applications, Russell Targ was a cofounder of the previously secret investigations into psychic abilities by the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the 1970s and 1980s. Supported by the CIA and many other government organizations, SRI scientifically researched a range of psychic skills, particularly remote viewing, the ability to experience and describe distant events unavailable to ordinary perception. He has written extensively on remote viewing, including his book, Limitless Mind. espresearch.com

Asymetric Language Trend Analysis
If you haven't found these fellows yet, do yourself a favor and take a good look. That can only be done by subscribing to the reports they offer. I've been subscribing for a year - my conclusion is that the reports are amazingly accurate.
With so many changes coming at us so fast and furiously I've enjoyed the added perspective the reports offer.
Their description of what they do:
Here at Half Past Human we forecast the future.
We are not alone in forecasting the future, all humans do it to some degree. Just a quick search of the internet will provide dozens of forms of future forecasting. Some use astrology, some use other methods.
We employ a technique based on radical linguistics to reduce extracts from readings of dynamic postings on the internet into an archetypical database. With this database of archtypical language, we calculate the rate of change of the language. The forecasts of the future are derived from these calculations. Our calculations are based on a system of associations between words and numeric values for emotional responses from those words. These 'emotional impact indicators' are also of our own devising. They are attached to a data base of over 300/three hundred thousand words. This data base of linked words/phrases and emotions is our lexicon from which the future forecasting is derived.
We call our future viewing the ALTA reports for 'asymetric language trend analysis'. The ALTA reports are available by subscription.

More than 30 years after elements of the U.S. military and intelligence community began research into unusual "psychic" projects being conducted by the government of the former Soviet Union, we may be seeing interesting results emerging.
When looking at anomalous phenomena like the ESP "remote viewing" techniques developed and used by U.S. military and intelligence personnel (later called "Project STARGATE") as well as other unusual developments, it can be useful to consider that in 2008 the unconventional can be integrated with conventional thinking and human activities.

Dowsing/Remote Viewing for Gain
If you missed Paul H. Smith's interview on Coast to Coast you can access it through Streamlink (free this weekend):
Associate Remote Viewing (ARV) can be applied to financial decisions-- by bypassing psychological influences, each outcome is associated with an unrelated object. For instance, a certain stock going up in price is represented by a hamburger, and a pencil represents the stock going down. The viewer then describes a visual of the object they see. This technique is successful 70% of the time, Smith stated.
He also discussed how dowsing can be used to pick lottery numbers. Different blocks or cards are set up with a set of corresponding numbers to a lottery, and then a person uses a pendulum over each, determining if it's a yes or a no. Typically, the dowser would use one hand to touch the card, and the other to hold the pendulum. A dowser who practiced his technique won $18,000 in a lottery, Smith reported.
Dowsing & Remote Viewing for Gain
Remote viewing and dowsing expert Paul Smith discussed ESP techniques, and how people can use them to tap into future outcomes for financial gain. With remote viewing, you know where a target is, but you don't what it is-- dowsing is the reverse, where a person knows what the target is, but doesn't know its location, he explained. Both systems make use of the subconscious, but with dowsing the subconscious exerts a subtle ideomotor response.Associate Remote Viewing (ARV) can be applied to financial decisions-- by bypassing psychological influences, each outcome is associated with an unrelated object.

Dr. Harold E. Puthoff February lecture
The Arlington Institute is pleased to announce the fifth lecture in its TAI PRESENTS series related to different aspects of big global change. We are honored that one of the most innovative minds in physics, Dr. Harold Puthoff, will join us on February 1st at 7:00pm for a public presentation on one of the US government’s most highly classified – and interesting – intelligence operations.
In the spring of 1972, Dr. Puthoff was approached by the CIA to set up a program to investigate “ESP” to determine whether there was a credible “psychic spy” threat to the U.S. from a known large-scale effort being pursued in the then Soviet Union. As a result he founded the SRI “remote viewing” program to use intuitives to access intelligence information where no other sources were available. He acted as its Director over the next two decades to both serve a number of clients in the Department of Defense/Intelligence community, and to generate a dense data base for scientific evaluation. Out of this work emerged some of the first papers on the remote viewing subject to be published in both intelligence community journals and in mainstream scientific journals such as Nature and the Proceedings of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Previously classified files of the work carried out under codeword project names SCANATE, SUN STREAK, CENTER LANE, GRILL FLAME and STAR GATE have recently been released (~90,000 pages) in CD format by the CIA FOIA office and by the National Archives (NARA).
In his multimedia lecture, Dr. Puthoff will discuss the results obtained in the program, and their operational implications and scientific significance.
Twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, Dr. Puthoff is presently Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin. His research interests range from theoretical studies concerning gravitation, cosmology and energy research, to laboratory studies of innovative approaches to energy generation and space propulsion. A graduate of Stanford University, his professional background spans more than four decades of research at General Electric, Sperry, the National Security Agency, Stanford University, and SRI International.
