There's no question that our fascination with the paranormal is
here to stay. "It's one of the most ancient human attractions," notes Dr.
Dossey, "part of the legacy of the human species, part of our original
nature."
And so the mystery remains--blinking on and off somewhere between
infinity and now, as strange and fluctuating as the random numbers the
scientists measure and that our minds nudge now to coherence, now to
randomness. It's a question, not an answer, but one of the more
meaningful questions we can ask.

I WAS A PSYCHIC SPY
David Morehouse's Psychic Warrior, to be published in November by
St. Martin's Press, sounds more like a sequel to the sci-fi film Strange
Days than real life. After being tapped for the CIA's psychic espionage
program--now known as Star Gate--he spent eight months, eight hours a
day, being trained in the practice known as "remote viewing," by which
individuals are taught to transcend space and time to access people,
places, and things remote from them; to go forward and backward in time;
and to use their five senses to taste, smell, touch, hear, and see the
details of their target.
"The trainers tried to take our emotions to an extreme, to
calibrate our senses," says Morehouse. "We might find ourselves crawling
in the ovens of Dachau or at ground zero at Hiroshima, weeping openly,
suffering the emotional trauma that is locked into that specific time and
place. On another day I might find myself traveling to a garden with a
Shinto shrine, attuned to the subtle nuances of a cherry blossom."
A typical assignment, says Morehouse, was to access the mind of an
enemy test pilot in order to get detailed information about fighter
planes. "Let's say we wanted to find out the capabilities of a new Soviet
MIG 2I. I'd concentrate on the test pilot, step in behind his eyes, and
hear his thoughts, feel the aircraft and whether it had enough power in a
turn or if the seat was too small or guages vibrated too violently." The
information was correlated with other surveillance programs.
Though the CIA claims it has abandoned the program because of lack
of success, Morehouse and his remote viewing colleagues believe Star Gate
is a active as ever but has gone further undercover. They also believe
the government is taking this technique into the realm of weaponry,
training individuals in "remote influence"--accessing another human mind
to inflict harm on it, anything from nausea to confusion to physical
illness. Morehouse says remote influence was used against Saddam Hussein
in the Gulf War. "Later, on CNN, I saw him accuse the U.S. of using
psychics to attack him."
Now that Morehouse has gone public about a top-secret program, does
he continue to use remote viewing in his everyday life? "Once the
channels are open you can't close them," he says. "Remote viewing is like
entering an altered state that is very euphoric. Access to pure
information is like a morphine flow that the brain craves and wants."
After years of the experience, his brain won't stop. "At night I can't
sleep without the TV blaring, just to shut out all the internal
data."
Look for a $70 million movie from Interscope Pictures. Tune in and
try some remote viewing to see who will star.
