The Lineage Behind the Training
We didn't invent this protocol. We didn't need to. We're teaching what was developed at Stanford Research Institute under CIA contract and validated by the most rigorous parapsychological program in history.
From SRI to Your Desk
Ingo Swann
A New York artist with documented anomalous perceptual abilities, Swann joined Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at Stanford Research Institute in 1972. Under CIA contract, he developed Coordinate Remote Viewing — a structured, staged protocol for accessing non-local information. His core insight was that perception beyond ordinary sensory range could be disciplined, systematized, and taught. That insight changed everything.
Swann's work at SRI wasn't a demonstration of personal psychic ability. It was the development of an engineering solution to a problem of human perception. The result — the CRV protocol — is his legacy, and it outlasted the government program that funded it.
Project STARGATE
The U.S. Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) operationalized Swann's protocol at Fort Meade. Under successive program names — GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, STARGATE — a unit of trained military remote viewers produced intelligence for real-world operations. The viewers weren't psychics. They were soldiers trained in the CRV methodology.
The program ran for seventeen years. The CIA's 1995 evaluation found the scientific evidence for remote viewing statistically significant and beyond chance. The program was declassified, not disproven. The protocol entered the public domain.
Paul H. Smith — RVIS
Paul Smith served as a remote viewer at Fort Meade and trained directly under Ingo Swann's CRV protocol. After STARGATE's declassification, he founded Remote Viewing Instructional Services (RVIS) and became one of the primary carriers of the original methodology. His book Reading the Enemy's Mind remains the most authoritative insider account of the program.
Smith's transmission of the protocol is significant because it preserves the original rigor. He teaches what was in the classified manuals, not what popular culture has done to the concept of remote viewing.
Psionic Training
Psionic Training exists for one reason: to make this protocol accessible to anyone who wants to learn it, without mystical framing, without price barriers, and without the institutional gatekeeping that has kept serious CRV training obscure for three decades.
The CIA spent $20 million figuring out that remote viewing is real and trainable. That research is now public. The training should be too.
Democratizing a $20M Protocol
The Controlled Remote Viewing protocol was developed on public money, validated on public money, and classified on public money. When it was declassified in 1995, it technically entered the public domain. But the knowledge remained locked up in expensive one-on-one training programs, obscure community forums, and out-of-print manuals.
That's the gap Psionic Training fills. We're not selling a new methodology or a competing system. We're teaching the original one — clearly, affordably, with the practice infrastructure needed to actually develop the skill.
The protocol doesn't belong to any government. It doesn't belong to any organization. It belongs to the humans who are willing to learn it. We're just making that easier.
The Psi Protocol App
Learning CRV requires consistent practice. Theory is not enough — the protocol must be repeated until it becomes reflex. The Psi Protocol app was built as the daily practice companion for students of CRV.
