A Psychic Guinea Pig
A Partial List of Ingo's Experiments
- Cleve Backster, Backster's Lab (1971): telepathically interacting with plants/plant consciousness and psychokinetic effects on small samples of graphite.
- Dr. Gertrude Schmeidler, City College of New York (1971): psychokinetic effects on recorded temperature as recorded by thermometers in sealed thermisters.
- Dr. Karlis Osis and Dr. Janet Lee Mitchell, The American Society for Psychical Research (1971-1972): out-of-body consciousness and perceptions from which the term Remote Viewing was coined.
- Dr. Carole Silfen, The American Society for Psychical Research (1972): temporal and spatial perception aspects of Remote Viewing potentials.
- Dr. Harold Puthoff and Dr. Russell Targ, Stanford Research Institute (1972): psychokinetic perturbations of helium, nitrogen, thermisters, magnetometers, and photomultipliers.
- Dr. Harold Puthoff and Dr. Russell Targ, Stanford Research Institute (1973): experiments which led to the creation of Project Scanate, a CIA-funded program of Remote Viewing by geographical coordinates.
- Dr. Willis Harman, Stanford Research Institute (1973): experimental prophetic correlations.
- Arthur Twitchell, Dr. Janet Lee Mitchell, Dr. John Wingate, and Dr. Gertrude Schmeidler, American Society for Psychical Research (1974): precognition and human consciousness.
- Stanford Research Institute (1974-1988): continuous in-depth research funded by various governmental and private clients, including the CIA, ARPA, DIA, DOD, Army Intelligence, MIA, AMSAA, NAVELEX, Stephan Schwartz/Mobius Group, and Trammel Crow, some of which led to Ingo's creation of Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) and to CRV's operational use as an espionage tool under Project Center Lane and later Project Star Gate.
- Dr. Robert Miller, Georgia Institute of Technology (1975): psychokinetic effects in a diffusion cloud chamber.
- Dr. Marcel Vogel and Randall Fontes, San Jose, California (1975): psychokinetic effects on plants.
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Dr. Arthur Hastings, and Dr. Gerald Askevold, Institute for the Future (1975): Remote Viewing experiments utilizing computer conferencing.
- Dr. William Roll, Psychical Research Foundation (1976): long-distance remote hearing experiments.
- Dr. Charles Tart, University of California at Davies (1977): clairvoyant viewing of equipment.
- Dr. Elmer Green, Menninger Foundation (1989): physical fields and states of consciousness.
- Dr. Gerald Epstein, New York, New York (1990s): lucid dream work and mental image accessing, management, and decoding.
- Dr. Michael Persinger and Dr. William Roll, Laurentian University Neuroscience Research Group (1998/2000): neuropsychological, cognitive, and personality assessments and EEG analysis of brainwave frequencies.
The "probes" [at SRI in August of 1972] of helium, nitrogen, thermisters, magnetometers and photomultipliers constituted psychokinetic-type experiments -- the "mind-over-matter" thing. I think some few of these experiments went well, for I remember that when it seemed a PK effect had been achieved, the technicians who has set up the equipment usually said "there must be something wrong with the equipment."

The Joy of Astrology
My long-term and deep and continuing interest in astrology has in many ways made my life better for and because of it. These long efforts have not only dealt with the art and craft of astrology itself, but with its own complicated history, its social place in history, cultural antagonism to it, and also with the changing social aspects of astrologer's themselves. The contours of human living are always changing, and there is "something" deep-seated in the human psyche which "knows" that much of these changing contours correspond with invisible "astral influences." The study and observation of these changing contours and their correspondences to the "influences" has always been called Astrology.
My Astrological Roots
Then, in the cold winter of 1962, I met a woman named Annie
Fayle (pronounced fay-lee) at a group meeting held by Dr. Karlis Osis at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York City. Dr. Osis was interested in whether artists were more psychic than non-artists, and somehow he had heard about me. So he had gotten together about ten of such artistic specimens to discuss this possibility. I sat next to Annie and so we got to talking, and when a rest break came we stepped outside to smoke, at which point I began dumping on her all my gloom and doom feelings since this had by now become my perpetual frame of mind. So Annie listened for a little while and then asked how old I was. When I told her, she then said the most astonishing thing: "Oh, you're just going through your first Saturn return. Nothing to worry about. It happens to everyone, and it will pass." In this way I found out that Annie was not only a painter but an astrologer, too, and that what I was going through was typical of the Saturn return.
Music of the Spheres
Although modern astrologers have never been able to explain why it should be so, over six thousand years ago they began to notice that each degree of the 360-degree zodiac, the planets themselves as well as their relationships to each other, and the fixed stars, were factors somehow representative of invisible energies and forces with regard to what we now call “how things turn out.”
--Ingo Swann, Psychic Literacy
Astrology can time-loop us with the future, and we can foresee calming or disruptive times ahead depending on which planetary configurations will take place.
