April 8, 2002: Consciousness and Remote Viewing - Russell Targ


Listen Later

Art Bell speaks with physicist Russell Targ, co-founder of the Stanford Research Institute's investigation into psychic abilities and a pioneer in laser development. Targ describes how his early career as a stage magician taught him to distinguish genuine psychic signals from trickery, a skill that proved essential when the CIA recruited him to conduct remote viewing research under controlled laboratory conditions.

Targ explains the concept of non-locality, drawing on Einstein's EPR paper and quantum mechanics to argue that consciousness operates outside ordinary constraints of distance and time. He recounts how remote viewers at SRI successfully described Soviet military installations and Chinese weapons testing sites with startling accuracy. He also discusses published medical studies by his daughter Elizabeth, a psychiatrist, demonstrating that patients who received distant healing prayers had measurably better outcomes than control groups.

During the broadcast, Art asks listeners to direct healing energy toward Elizabeth, who is battling a brain tumor. Within thirty minutes, two people maintaining a vigil in her hospital room independently report the room filling with light. Targ also addresses why remote viewers have difficulty locating individuals like Osama bin Laden, explaining that the technique excels at describing fixed locations but struggles without visual landmarks.
