It’s thrilling that 100,000 more viewers every month watch a TED talk about remote viewing that my friend, Russell Targ, did for me: click here to watch. It’s up to 5 million views as of this writing. It’s full of the “Ideas Worth Spreading” that TED presumably is all about, yet it caused TED to cancel the license they’d given me to produce TEDx West Hollywood so that I ultimately delivered my program, Brother Can You Spare a Paradigm?, or, Making the Quantum Leap, on my nickel.
You can learn a lot about remote viewing, a capacity we all have to “see” what exists in a distant place we’ve never been to, in Third Eye Spies, a documentary about his work that Russell finished this year and is streaming now on Amazon Prime. Tune in and find out about the lab Russell had at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), funded by the CIA to use remote viewing to spy on the Russians during the Cold War. The lab also had some victories that are beyond belief yet they occurred, like finding the trail to Patty Hearst after she was kidnapped and working with Uri Geller doing some “mind reading” that seemed impossible.
In my quest for what could shift our worldview to where we care about each other as much as we care about ourselves, remote viewing and the ESP that Geller is so adept at give evidence of how connected we are in one cosmic soup. Russell, a physicist of some renown who worked on developing the laser, helps us get beyond our cultural attachment to old Newtonian ideas of a universe running on cause and effect where separation is the name of the game.
