What It Covers

Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, presents 150 years of controlled laboratory evidence for telepathy, precognition, and remote viewing. He covers the declassified U.S. government Stargate program, genetic research identifying 212 SNPs correlated with psychic ability, the Inquisition's measurable impact on human DNA, and consciousness as a fundamental property of reality rather than a byproduct of brain activity.

Key Questions Answered

• •Presentiment Research: The human nervous system registers emotional responses to random stimuli approximately 1.5 seconds before those stimuli are selected by a true random number generator. Skin conductance, pupil dilation, and brainwave measurements all show this pre-stimulus effect. Radin developed this protocol at the University of Nevada in 1993, and the effect size was substantially larger than typical laboratory psi experiments, suggesting the body's autonomic system accesses near-future information outside conscious awareness.
• •Remote Viewing Protocol: Untrained individuals can develop remote viewing ability, but must first learn to suppress the naming reflex. When an impression arises, immediately labeling it (e.g., "banana" from a flash of yellow) contaminates the session irreversibly. Training begins with abstract scribbles that gradually accumulate sensory and emotional texture before forming a coherent image. Naturally talented viewers like Joe McMoneagle bypass this entirely, often receiving target information hours before a formal session begins.
• •Stargate Program Validation: The U.S. government's classified remote viewing program produced operationally actionable results, including locating a crashed nuclear bomber in Africa within a few kilometers using map dowsing by a single viewer who had no knowledge of the target's continent. President Carter publicly confirmed this specific case. The program operated under Special Access classification, meaning even personnel with Top Secret SCI clearances could not know the program's code word existed.
• •Inquisition Genomics: A psi-gene study comparing 13 verified psychic individuals against matched controls found that psychics carried standard wild-type DNA, while controls showed a significant mutation in an intron sequence — the epigenetic region that turns genes on and off. A genetics specialist on the team correlated this mutation's prevalence with the duration of Christian Inquisition exposure across different countries, suggesting centuries of systematic persecution functionally pruned psychic-linked genetics from affected populations.
• •Psychic Talent Markers: Across Stargate program research, no consistent physiological, psychological, or medical markers reliably distinguished high-performing remote viewers from average individuals. The two factors with the strongest correlation were natural talent and the psychological trait of openness to experience. People with rigid, closed cognitive styles actively suppressed results. A follow-up genome study using 23andMe and Ancestry data identified 212 SNPs correlated with reported psychic experiences, with one SNP reaching a one-in-a-million probability threshold.
• •Consciousness and Nonlocality: Leading founders of quantum mechanics — including figures who developed the field's most successful predictive frameworks — were predominantly philosophical idealists who believed consciousness underlies physical reality, not the reverse. Most also engaged deeply with Eastern mysticism. This positions the hard problem of consciousness not as a fringe concern but as the central unresolved question in science, with quantum entanglement's nonlocal properties offering a structural parallel to how telepathy and precognition appear to function across space and time.
• •Gilbert Syndrome Cardiovascular Effect: Radin carries a liver enzyme mutation called Gilbert syndrome, which prevents rapid recovery from exercise but produces chronically elevated unconjugated bilirubin — a potent natural antioxidant. At age 74, his arterial calcium scan returned a score of zero, indicating no arterial calcification despite high cholesterol. The condition trades exercise capacity for cardiovascular longevity. For those with similar constraints, Radin maintains fitness through daily walking, avoiding intensity thresholds that trigger multi-day fatigue.
