Ingo Swann
Twenty-two years ago, the Intelligence Community of the USA
was required to respond to the threat of Soviet psychotronics
(--applied-- psychic forces). A great deal of confusion abounded
back then. But I was invited to give my opinions.
The invitations were unofficial at first, since no one in Washington
wanted to be seen talking with a psychic. So the talks anonymously
went on in noisy bars in L'Enfant Plaza and at pizza parlors.
Eventually I was invited to give formal briefings inside DIA headquarters
and in the Pentagon.
From the start it appeared that no one in Washington really knew
what psi was. After all, American mainstream sciences and academe
had taught that psi faculties didn't exist -- or that alleged
psi was the result of delusion or clinical mental disorders.
In this light there was no need to take any real interest in the
silly topic of psi faculties. So, from congressional levels on
down through the systems, the most that people knew about psi
was usually imbibed from science fiction sources. But now there
was a mad rush to find out what psi really was.
When I realized the large extent of this confusion, it seemed
apparent that some basic orientation was broadly need. And so,
as it was said back then, "Ingo comes to re-educate Washington."
I brought with me five simple, but basic, orientation messages.
The first one was designed to show why no one really knew what
psi was. These five messages are again needed today, now that
remote viewing has gone public and confusions abound once more.

The history of psychic research and parapsychology from 1895
to about 1972 (a 76-year period) reveals that less than 300 researchers
had existed. This was an exceedingly small population among the
2.5 billion Earthlings, so small as to be unnoticeable. Indeed,
other such minuscule numbers researching any other topic were
never noticed.
Yet the psi researchers and their topic were treated in the mainstreams
to overwhelming and usually negative exposure. My listeners generally
agreed that this was the case. But when I asked if they could
explain why, none could do so.
So, I asked them to bear with me while I brought something to
their attention, something that was going to alter their perspectives
if they grasped the implications.
I pointed out that the psi research population was very tiny.
But that their topic was a very big one. That big topic involved
not just a few "psychics," or a few psi phenomena and
their few researchers. Rather, and in reality, it involved the
psi faculties of --our entire species.-- As I explained, psi --could
not-- manifest worldwide, as it does, --unless-- its potentials
were universally distributed through our species --- perhaps somewhat
in the same way our DNA is distributed. If this were so, then
psi faculties are a human species potential --- and perhaps everyone
could have access to them.
If you think this through... well, various formats of psi faculties
--have-- emerged since the beginning of our recorded history.
And the same faculties are likely to continuously emerge in all
born generations of humans.
But the recurring emergences throughout history clearly establish
that psi faculties are a species endowment before any of them
can become individualized in a given human being.
Our species, Homo sapiens, is thus a psychic species in addition
to all its other faculties and attributes.
One major deduction is possible if one thinks this way of the
situation. Any nation which seriously undertakes to research and
develop psi faculties ultimately will achieve applied advantages.
This includes the (former) soviet Union, China and any other nation
which might recognize the species-wide potentials of applied psi.
***
I now asked my listeners to take a piece of paper, and on it
put a minuscule dot on one side representing psi researchers.
Then I asked them to make a very large circle on the other side
representing our species-wide psi potentials. The reason for this
was that people can't see things very well in their heads, but
can do so if they look at a format on a piece of paper.
I then pointed out that the social responses to the small dot
were overly big --not-- because of the small dot but because of
the big circle. The huge social responses were generally negative,
and were patent attempts to destroy the small dot --in order to
prevent the organized emergence of the potentials contained within
the big circle.--
I then explained that any organized emergence of those potentials
would be incorporated as super-psi faculties.
I then pointed out that there is an actual, widespread --intuitive
Fear-- of these super faculties since their applications would
give obvious advantages to those who develop them.
I then pointed out that the big circle can't be reduced since
its potentials are carried within our species, and are continuously
and potentially reborn when babes are born -- Russian babes, Chinese
and American ones. All of us born are carriers of potential psi
faculties subtly indwelling within the species.
***
Since the big circle cannot be reduced, there is only one way
to prevent the organized emergence of applied super-psi faculties
which are feared. This is to give the small dot and the big circle
a bad name, to artificially engineer and mobilize social fear
against --both of them.--
I then asked my listeners to put something between the small dot
and the big circle which would be called "Spin" or "Spin
Doctors." Now, on the paper we would have the small dot,
then the spin doctors, and then the large circle.
I then asked them to increase in size the spin drawing around
and around until it included the small dot and the big circle.
Now all one largely would have on the paper is a big spin which
obliterated the small dot and the big circle.
***
I believe it was Pierre Salinger, former press secretary to
President John P. Kennedy, who conceptualized "spin"
and "spin doctors." But those two crafts which engineer
opinion have been in existence for a long time under other names.
Psychics were once condemned as heretics and burnt at stakes,
which definitely gave our species psi potentials a negative spin.
In modern times, the spins were that human species psi was irrational,
of illusion, of abnormal psychiatric disorders and, worst of all
--- unscientific. Negative spin factors, one and all.
I then pointed out that everyone develops mental grids via which
they process information. This meant that everyone has processing
information about our species psi faculties through mental grids
engineered by anti-psi spin doctors. Many, but not all, people
think through spin-grids not through knowledge grids.
It was, therefore, not surprising that no one knew anything about
real psi faculties, and probably feared them as well.
Hence the monumental size of the confusions, a size corresponding
with the size of the accumulated spin factors.
***
I now asked my listeners from the intelligence communities
to draw a line from the small dot through the spin factors and
end up in the middle of the big circle, and to put a small arrow
at its end.
There at the line's end, I said, is a whole new world of potential
super-psi faculties. That should be your target if you want it.
But that target involves not just me or any other psychic, but
the indwelling psi potentials of our species. I warned that they
would not make any progress --unless-- they considered our species
psi potentials. Psi faculties --are-- an indwelling species thing,
you know. And it doesn't matter what your spin grids think.
Your spin grids are transitory. Our species-indwelling psi faculties
are permanent -- even if suppressed.
