About this episode
Lynn Buchanan, one of the military's most accomplished remote viewers from the CIA's formerly classified program (1984-1992), discusses his new book "The Seventh Sense" and reveals the true nature of psychic abilities. As the unit's trainer and training officer, Buchanan explains the crucial difference between natural psychic ability and controlled remote viewing, emphasizing that the military method provides systematic control over inherent human capabilities. He describes how everyone possesses a "seventh sense" beyond the traditional five physical senses and intuition, which can be trained and harnessed through specific methodologies developed by pioneers like Ingo Swann. The conversation delves into the practical applications of remote viewing for locating missing persons, intelligence gathering, and even exploring existential questions about human origins. Buchanan addresses controversies within the remote viewing community and discusses his current work through Problems Solutions Innovations, providing pro bono services to law enforcement. He candidly reflects on the failure of psychics to predict 9/11, explaining the ethical constraints that prevented government remote viewers from pursuing such targets without official tasking. The discussion illuminates both the potential and limitations of human consciousness exploration.
