Approved For Release 2000/08/09: CIA-RDP96-00789N9LV(4 A NMENT PHU R DA'm-31 OCT 90 memorandum REPLYTC SG1J ATTH OF sueiEcT:Suggested areas of study/experimentation for future progress. (U) SG1J -rO.Mr. Chief, DT-S As per your request, I have compiled my thoughts on the potential opportunities which are/can be open to this office and its personnel. Following is a composite of these thoughts in a.manner Which is, hopefully, organized enough to be of use.. 1 (S/NF) RESEARCH: The decision as to which outside contracts will be gained for the project's progression depends on many other factors than Our abilities, desires, proposals. However: a. Participation: Once these contracts are granted, I feel it is imperative that the work proposals for the projects include the requirement that the people of this office take as great a part as possible. Case in point: SRI's study of the effects of ELF on Remote Viewers did not in Any way address the effects of ELF IN THE FT. MEADE AREA ON THE CENTER LANE VIEWERS. As a result, an amount of pure information-was possibly gained, but a simple addition in the work statement would have made the information directly pertinent to the needs of our office. b. Self direction: There a.re-many projects whichweare capable of doing on our own within the office, and which do not need to be farmed out. In fact, the performance of such projects would teach our viewing personnel an understanding of the scientific process, from project formulation thl~--ough evaluation and proper documentation. This understanding is presently all but completely lacking (see item 4., below) It is my firm belief that, if the viewers were to gain such an understanding, they.would develop a self-discipline which would alleviate many problems in the future. For these projects, a viewer should (voluntarily or assigned) be given BOTH the responsibility and authority over the prlojec-f from start to finish. We have had many projects voluntarily started by viewers in t'he past Where the viewer was -allowed the responsibility of doing the bookwork, research, etc., but then was not allowed to formulate and run the project. Valuable experience was lost, but more than that, the spark of enthusiasawhich made the viewer volunteer-in the first place was lost and never regained. C. Bibliograehy and Library-- We have information collected individually and officially in great abundance. The.collation of information ali-eady in our possession and the accumulation of other information is of paramount importance to this effor t, and'should be the responsibility of ever member of this office. 43MONAL FORM NO. 10 (REV. 1-60) GSAFPMFt(4tCFR) 10141.4 Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP9.6-00789ROO3700'hV&03-0. * GPO - 1984 0 - 461-27S (272) Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720003-0 d. E_ePort~_,~nd cl:eative work: In the past, when someone in the office wrote a paper on their perceptions of this phenomenon, or an some related aspect in which they had taken particular interest, the paper was turned in, filed away, and forgotten. An active effort should be made to see that any original article or paper generated within this office be sanitized and disseminated under that person's name into the public literature. This Would both encourage the members of our office to take initiatives, and would reward them for doing so. 2. (S/NF) POSSIBLE AREAS FOR FUTURE ADVANCEMENT. a. Learning what we are already supposed to know: Our office has a backgroun~--~F~o-w-l-e-d--g-e-o-f--m-a-ny working methods, only three of which are in normal use. Only one person here is familiar with all of them, and only two have ever worked the majority of them. I would suggest that everyone become experienced in each of the methods which have been identified by our office (approximately 18 different methods), and learn to use them as "tools", by kpowing which method works best (for them) for individual targets, personal moods, etc. b. Develop training for and perform training on those things we are supposed to have learned in..the past: We have, for years, complained about monitor errors, the monitor injecting his/her own analysis upon the viewer, of poor tasking which leads the viewer to a conclusion, or which must be hidden from the viewer in order to prevent ruining a session. In the process, we have informally learned what tasking should NOT be like, and what a monitor should NOT do. However, no formal attempt has ever been made within this office to constructively decide how tasking SHOULD be written, and what the proper protocol for a monitor SHOULD be. I think that this is absolutely one of the most necessary steps we must take before going any further. We are in dire need of defining our needs in these areas, then educating and training both the taskers and the monitors. C. Other areas (some of which would automatically be covered by para. a, above): Parapsychological operations can be broken into two general ~_a_tegories, passive and active. We have historically completely avoided the active and stuck to only three passive methodologies (CRV, ERV, WRV)'. These self-imposed limits have left us sitting around a lot of times, doing nothing (often facetiously called "grounding" or "preparing"), when we could have been quite productively engaged in professional growth. Those limits should be removed. 1) PASSIVE PSYCHOENERGETICS a) CRV Remote Viewing - continuation of Ingo's stages 11 Stage 7 Phonetics Stage 8 Analytics (numbers, letters, written material) Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720003-0 Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720003-0 b) Associative RV 1 13 Lottery numbers 21 Weather prediction 31 Stock market predication 41 Earthquake prediction 51 (ultimate goal) prediction of the outcome of treaty conferences, materiel testing where lives are involved (test flights, etc.) c) Dowsing 13 Triangulation direction finding 2J Back-azimuth methodology 31 (Ultimate goal) The search problem d) Color visualization 11 Frequencies of radio spectrum 23 Time-line technique e) Dermal Optics 11 Hidden document reading 21 Trouble-shooting mechanical and electronic equip. 31 Finding the hidden flaws in proposals f) Thought reading/transference 11 Information transfer 23 Intercept of others doing it 2) ACTIVE PSYCHOENERGETICS a) Psychokinesis 11 PK an electronic circuits 21 PK as a method of influencing actions in others b) Healing 11 Low-level (headaches, stemming blood flow, etc. 21 (Ultimate goal) first line battlefield usefulness (saving lives until medical help comes). c) Thought influence 11 Imparting new thoughts into others 21 Mood/emotion influencing 31 Blocking others who are doing thought transference experiments 41 Active "blocking" of sites from viewers d) Detection of parapsychological activity in progress 4. (S/NF) Realize that the phrase "scientific method", while completely Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720003-0 Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720003-0 understood to most professional DT personnel, is something in which DT-S personnel have never been fully trained, and wh.ich they do not completely understand: Above all, and first " all, I feel that the personnel in this office should be taught, in formal training, what is meant by the phrase "proper scientific procedures". We need to have delineated what will be expected of us, item by item, in order to turn out a product which will withstand the closest scientific scrutiny. We may not like to admit it, but the honest fact is that we presently do not know. This is why we have gotten into trouble in the past, and the problem will continue unless we are trained in this area. Such training should be done immediately, before attempting anything else.
