Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness: An Exploration of Remote Viewing, ESP, Precognitive Dreaming, and Synchronicity

The former director of the U.S. government's Project Stargate discusses parapsychological phenomena and includes instructions on how to develop the powers of remote viewing and precognitive dreaming

Given his scientific and military background, Graff takes a surprisingly personal approach to the topic of psychic experiences. In 1975, Graff was assigned to work with scientists from the Stanford Research Institute on the possible applications of "remote viewing" (the accessing of information without using the physical senses) for the U.S. Air Force. For 20 years, he directed remote viewing experiments in everything from espionage to drug enforcement, under the once-classified project he named "Stargate." Skeptical at first, Graff witnessed firsthand and then personally experienced remote viewing with the help of SRI scientists, eventually expanding his research to include intuition, telepathy, "precognitive" dreams and synchronicity ("meaningful coincidences"). Incidents abound: in one chapter, a student in a "Psychic Realm" course Graff taught apparently makes eggs appear in Graff's dream; in another, Graff is seated on a flight next to someone he has been trying to get in touch with for weeks. He focuses throughout on the potential of psi to aid in search-and-rescue missions, police work and healing, and he concludes with clear, simple steps anyone can take allegedly to discover and develop his or her own psychic abilities. Graff is a compelling storyteller and a convincing proponent of the continued expansion of psychic research.
