Non-Local Psi / Information Field Consciousness

Consciousness is a non-local information field; "the other side" is the extended psi field accessed via remote viewing, telepathy, or NDE, containing past/future data, soul records, and interdimensional layers.

Core ClaimConsciousness operates as a non-local information field overlaying all dimensions. "The other side" is not a place you travel to but an information field you tune into. Remote viewing, telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis are natural consequences of consciousness being non-local — not generated by the brain but received, decoded, and filtered by it.

Overview​

This thesis proposes that consciousness is not produced by the brain but is a fundamental, non-local information field that overlays all of physical reality — all locations, all times, all dimensions. The brain functions as a receiver-decoder-filter, tuning into a narrow band of this infinite field to produce ordinary waking consciousness. "The other side" is not a separate place that consciousness travels to; it is the extended information field that consciousness can access when the filter is widened or bypassed.

Remote viewing proves the thesis. The strongest evidence comes from Project Stargate, which ran for 23 years (1972–1995) as a classified DIA/CIA program at Fort Meade, Maryland. Operational remote viewers — most notably Joe McMoneagle (Remote Viewer #001) — demonstrated that consciousness can accurately perceive distant locations, future events, and past occurrences without any physical sensory input. McMoneagle completed approximately 450 operational remote viewing missions and received the Legion of Merit, with his citation stating he produced "critical intelligence unavailable from any other source" for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, DIA, NSA, CIA, and Secret Service.

Psi phenomena are natural consequences. If consciousness is a non-local information field, then telepathy (accessing another mind's information), precognition (accessing future information), psychokinesis (consciousness influencing physical systems), and remote viewing (accessing distant spatial information) are not paranormal — they are normal functions of a non-local system. Dean Radin's meta-analyses at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) demonstrate statistically significant effects across hundreds of thousands of controlled trials, with odds against chance in the billions to one.

The field contains everything. Past and future data, soul records, interdimensional layers, and the consciousness of all beings — living and deceased — exist within the information field. Remote viewers access specific coordinates in this field using intent and trained protocols. NDEs represent spontaneous, unfiltered access to the field when the brain's filtering mechanism is disrupted by clinical death or trauma.

It is a trained skill, not a mystical gift. Unlike spontaneous psi experiences, remote viewing is a learnable, repeatable protocol. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ demonstrated this at SRI International in the 1970s, training ordinary individuals to produce accurate remote viewing results. The Farsight Institute, founded by Courtney Brown, continues to train remote viewers using double-blind protocols. The implication: every human brain is already a receiver for the information field — training simply teaches people how to use the equipment they already have.

Evidence & Documentation​

Dean Radin's Meta-Analyses (IONS Research)​

Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, conducted comprehensive meta-analyses of psi research spanning nearly a century of experiments:

  • Telepathy (Ganzfeld experiments) — Meta-analysis of hundreds of controlled telepathy experiments with thousands of individual sessions. Hit rates consistently exceeded chance expectations (expected 25%, observed ~32%). Results published in peer-reviewed journals. Odds against chance: billions to one
  • Precognition — Meta-analysis of presentiment experiments showing that the autonomic nervous system responds to randomly selected future stimuli before they occur. Skin conductance, pupil dilation, and brain activity show anticipatory responses to emotionally arousing images — before the images are randomly selected and displayed
  • Psychokinesis — Meta-analysis of random number generator (RNG) experiments showing small but statistically significant deviations from chance when human intention is directed at the output. Consistent with Princeton PEAR lab findings
  • Key publications: The Conscious Universe (1997), Entangled Minds (2006), Supernormal (2013), Real Magic (2018) — each presenting updated meta-analyses with expanding datasets
  • Radin's work at IONS includes the Global Consciousness Project, which monitors a network of random number generators worldwide and has detected statistically significant deviations during major global events (9/11, mass meditations, natural disasters)

Project Stargate: 23 Years of Operational Remote Viewing​

The U.S. government's remote viewing program operated under various code names (SCANATE, Gondola Wish, Grill Flame, Center Lane, Sun Streak, Star Gate) from 1972 to 1995:

  • $20+ million spent over two decades on remote viewing research and operations, with $11 million budgeted from the mid-1980s to early 1990s alone
  • Joe McMoneagle — Remote Viewer #001, completed approximately 450 operational missions. His Legion of Merit citation states he served in a "unique intelligence project that is revolutionizing the intelligence community." He produced intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, DIA, NSA, CIA, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Secret Service
  • Operational applications — Remote viewers were tasked against real intelligence targets: hostage locations, weapons facilities, submarine positions, and foreign military installations. McMoneagle remotely viewed a new class of Soviet submarine under construction at a secret facility — the viewing was later confirmed by satellite imagery
  • SRI International origin — The program began when Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ tested psychic Ingo Swann at Stanford Research Institute in 1972. Two CIA officers observed the results and initiated CIA funding. Swann went on to develop Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) protocols used throughout the program
  • 1995 declassification — The CIA commissioned the American Institutes for Research to evaluate the program. The AIR report acknowledged a statistically significant effect but concluded remote viewing had not produced actionable intelligence sufficient to justify continued funding. The program was terminated and declassified

SRI International (Puthoff and Targ)​

Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ conducted the foundational remote viewing research at Stanford Research Institute (later SRI International) from 1972 to 1985:

  • Published in Nature — Targ and Puthoff published "Information transmission under conditions of sensory shielding" in Nature (1974), one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world, reporting positive remote viewing results
  • Published in IEEE — Results also presented in Proceedings of the IEEE and at the American Association for the Advancement of Science
  • Puthoff holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University and previously worked at the NSA. His credentialed background lent weight to the research
  • Targ was a physicist and laser pioneer at Lockheed Martin before joining SRI
  • The team coined the term "remote viewing" to distinguish their controlled experimental protocol from the culturally loaded term "clairvoyance"

Princeton PEAR Lab​

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory operated from 1979 to 2007 under Robert Jahn, then Dean of Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science:

  • 28 years of research at one of the world's most prestigious universities
  • Primary finding: Human intention can produce small but statistically significant deviations in the output of random event generators (REGs). Over millions of trials, the effect is consistent and reproducible
  • Remote perception studies — PEAR also conducted remote perception (remote viewing) experiments with positive results
  • Brenda Dunne served as laboratory manager and co-researcher for the program's duration
  • Results published in peer-reviewed journals and compiled in Jahn and Dunne's Margins of Reality (1987)
  • PEAR closed in 2007 and was incorporated into the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL)

Farsight Institute Protocols​

Courtney Brown, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at Emory University, founded the Farsight Institute to continue and expand remote viewing research:

  • Double-blind protocols — Viewers receive only a random target number; no information about the target is available to anyone in contact with the viewer until after the session
  • Scientific Remote Viewing (SRV) — Brown developed a structured protocol derived from the military CRV methodology
  • Brown authored Remote Viewing: The Science and Theory of Nonphysical Perception (2005), providing a theoretical framework for how non-local consciousness accesses the information field
  • The Institute conducts ongoing projects targeting historical events, future timelines, and off-planet locations
  • Controversy: Brown's colleague at Emory, psychologist Scott Lilienfeld, criticized Brown for refusing to submit his claims to independent scientific testing

Stephan Schwartz's Project 2050​

Stephan Schwartz, one of the founders of modern remote viewing research, has been running Project 2050 since 1978:

  • 4,000+ remote viewers have participated across multiple phases, targeting the year 2050 and beyond
  • Phase 1 (1978–1991) — Viewers correctly predicted the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of terrorism, climate change, and the AIDS epidemic — years before these events occurred
  • Phase 2 (1991–1996) — Viewers described the eventual inundation and collapse of American coastal cities
  • Phase 3 (2018–present) — Viewers describe dramatic changes between 2040 and 2045: end of the internal combustion engine, climate migration, new pandemics, free-energy devices, federal government collapse, shift to smaller agrarian communities
  • Archaeological remote viewing — Schwartz used remote viewing to discover Cleopatra's Palace, Marc Antony's Timonium, ruins of the Lighthouse of Pharos, and sunken ships along the California coast and in the Bahamas — providing physical, verifiable confirmation of remote viewing accuracy

Grant Cameron's UFO-Consciousness Research​

Grant Cameron, Canadian UFO researcher and recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and UFO Congress Researcher of the Year:

  • Since 2012, Cameron has shifted his focus from Presidential UFO archives to the consciousness aspects of the UAP phenomenon
  • His research identifies a consistent pattern: governments that investigate UAPs eventually encounter consciousness phenomena — telepathy, precognition, interdimensional perception
  • Cameron's work bridges UAP research and psi research, arguing they are aspects of the same non-local information field
  • Publications include Managing Magic: The Government's UFO Disclosure Plan and Tuned-In: The Paranormal World of Music

Access Method​

Remote viewing is the primary access method — a trained, repeatable protocol:

  1. Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) — Developed by Ingo Swann for the military program. The viewer receives only geographic coordinates or a random target number and follows a structured protocol to describe the target
  2. Scientific Remote Viewing (SRV) — Courtney Brown's refinement of CRV for civilian use, with double-blind controls
  3. Meditation and intent-based access — Quieting the analytical mind to allow the non-local information field to "come through." Similar to tuning a radio receiver
  4. NDE (spontaneous) — Near-death experiences provide spontaneous, unfiltered access to the information field when the brain's filtering mechanism shuts down
  5. Telepathy and precognition — Natural psi abilities that can be enhanced through training. Most people experience these sporadically; training makes them reliable

The key distinction from other theses: this is a trained skill, not a mystical experience or chemical event. Remote viewing can be taught in a week-long course. The Farsight Institute reports that nearly all students have successful remote viewing experiences in introductory classes. The military trained ordinary soldiers to remote view with operational accuracy.

Entity Nature​

Within the non-local information field, various forms of non-physical intelligence are reported:

  • Past and future selves — If the information field contains all times, then past and future incarnations of the viewer's own consciousness exist within it and can be accessed
  • Non-physical intelligences — Entities that exist primarily or exclusively within the information field. Not "aliens" in the physical sense but consciousness-based beings operating at different frequencies or dimensional layers
  • Deceased consciousness — The consciousness of people who have died continues to exist within the information field and can be accessed (consistent with medium research and NDE reports)
  • Collective consciousness — The Global Consciousness Project suggests that millions of minds create measurable coherence in the field during major events — the field is not just individual but collective
  • "Soul records" — The information field contains what some traditions call the Akashic Records — a complete record of all events, thoughts, and experiences across all time

UAP / Plasma Link​

This thesis reframes certain UAP phenomena as information-field events:

  • Psi-generated phenomena — Some UAP sightings may be consciousness interacting with the physical world at a macro scale — psychokinesis writ large. The information field occasionally "bleeds through" into physical reality as light, plasma, or electromagnetic anomalies
  • Field-crossing disturbances — Non-physical intelligences within the information field may create visible disturbances when they interact with physical-dimension energy systems. The plasma/light orbs reported in UAP sightings could be the visible signature of an information-field entity crossing dimensional boundaries
  • Hal Puthoff's connection — Puthoff moved from SRI remote viewing research directly into AATIP/AAWSAP UAP research, suggesting the intelligence community sees a connection between psi and UAP phenomena
  • Grant Cameron's convergence thesis — Every government that seriously investigates UAPs eventually encounters consciousness and psi phenomena. The UAP phenomenon may be an aspect of the non-local information field rather than purely physical craft from other star systems
  • Remote viewing of UAP targets — Both military and civilian remote viewers have been tasked against UAP targets. The results suggest UAP phenomena have consciousness-based components that respond to psi interaction

Competing Interpretations​

  • Gateway / Consciousness Simulator — The most closely related thesis. Both agree that consciousness is primary and non-local, that the brain is a receiver/filter, and that remote viewing demonstrates non-local access. The Gateway thesis adds a full cosmology (simulator, loosh, I-There, Source, voluntary reincarnation) that the Psi/Information Field thesis does not require. The Information Field thesis is more parsimonious — it posits a field without requiring a purpose or designer. Gateway maps the territory from inside (via OBE); the Information Field thesis measures it from outside (via statistical meta-analysis and operational results)

  • DMT and Consciousness Travel — DMT provides chemical access to what may be the same information field that remote viewers access through training. The consistency of DMT entity encounters across cultures parallels the consistency of remote viewing results across viewers. Key difference: DMT access is rapid, intense, and substance-dependent; psi access is trained, controlled, and substance-free. Both suggest that ordinary waking consciousness is a filtered subset of a larger field

  • Bible / Religion (Classical) — Prayer may be a form of psi — consciousness reaching into the information field with intent. Prophecy may be precognition. "Seeing visions" may be remote viewing. The religious framework interprets these as divine gifts; the psi framework interprets them as natural functions of non-local consciousness. The information field thesis provides a mechanism for phenomena that religion attributes to God

  • Other Dimensions / UAP / Religious — UAP sensor data (radar returns, infrared signatures, visual observations of plasma/light phenomena) may be measuring information-field disturbances from the outside. Remote viewers access the same phenomena from the inside. Hal Puthoff's career trajectory — SRI remote viewing to AATIP UAP research — embodies this convergence

  • NDE / Afterlife Research — NDEs represent spontaneous, unfiltered access to the information field when the brain's filtering mechanism is disrupted by clinical death. The life review, tunnel of light, deceased relatives, and cosmic knowledge reported in NDEs are consistent with sudden immersion in a non-local information field containing all data. Remote viewing provides controlled access to the same field; NDEs provide uncontrolled, total access

Criticisms & Counter-Arguments​

  • File drawer effect — Critics argue that psi meta-analyses suffer from publication bias: positive results get published while negative results stay in researchers' file drawers. Dean Radin has addressed this directly, calculating that for the observed effect sizes to be artifacts of publication bias, there would need to be thousands of unpublished negative studies for every published positive one — an implausible ratio
  • Replication crisis — Some critics argue that psi effects are too small to be reliably replicated. Individual experiments often produce marginal results; it is only in meta-analysis that the signal emerges clearly. Skeptics argue this pattern is consistent with statistical noise rather than a real effect
  • James Randi challenge — The James Randi Educational Foundation offered a $1 million prize for demonstration of paranormal abilities under controlled conditions. No one claimed it. Psi researchers counter that the challenge's protocols were designed to produce null results and that Randi was not a neutral arbiter
  • Mainstream physics rejection — There is no accepted physical mechanism by which consciousness could access distant information non-locally. Quantum entanglement is sometimes invoked but mainstream physicists reject this analogy as a misunderstanding of quantum mechanics
  • 1995 AIR evaluation of Stargate — The American Institutes for Research concluded that remote viewing had not produced actionable intelligence, casting doubt on operational value. Proponents counter that the AIR evaluators were given limited access to classified operational successes and that the program's 23-year duration proves it produced value the military found useful
  • SRI methodology criticisms — A 1988 National Research Council report concluded the Targ-Puthoff SRI studies were "fatally flawed." Psychologists David Marks and Richard Kammann discovered that judges' notes contained cues revealing the order of experiments, potentially explaining high hit rates
  • PEAR lab criticisms — PEAR's effect sizes were extremely small (fractions of a bit per trial). Critics argue the results are consistent with methodological artifacts or statistical flukes over millions of trials. The lab's closure in 2007 without mainstream acceptance suggests the scientific community was not persuaded
  • Courtney Brown controversies — Brown's Farsight Institute has made claims (including about Mars anomalies) that have been dismissed by the scientific community. His Emory colleague Scott Lilienfeld stated Brown refused independent scientific testing of his claims
  • Unfalsifiability — If the information field contains all data across all time, any outcome can be explained within the framework. A failed remote viewing session can be attributed to "analytical overlay" or "noise in the signal" rather than the non-existence of the field

Connection to Deep State / Consciousness Control​

The non-local psi / information field thesis has the most direct and extensively documented connection to government intelligence programs of any consciousness framework:

  • Project Stargate was classified for 23 years. The U.S. government spent over $20 million on remote viewing research and operations, kept it classified, and only declassified it in 1995. If psi does not work, why did the program run for 23 years? If it does work, why was it classified? The classification itself is evidence that the government found something worth hiding
  • Hal Puthoff's trajectory — Puthoff went from NSA to SRI remote viewing research to AATIP/AAWSAP UAP research. His career traces the government's connection between signals intelligence, psi, and UAP — three domains that converge in the information field thesis
  • If the information field is real, controlling access to it is the ultimate intelligence advantage. Remote viewing can theoretically access any location, any time, any classified document, any private conversation. A government that possesses trained remote viewers has an intelligence capability that no encryption, no vault, no classification system can defeat. This makes psi the most dangerous capability a government could possess — and the most dangerous capability it could allow its citizens to develop
  • Classification as suppression — The pattern is consistent: research yields results, results are classified, the program is publicly denied, and the public is told psi does not exist. Meanwhile, the research continues under new code names. The 1995 declassification of Stargate came with an official conclusion that it "never worked" — yet the program ran for 23 years and McMoneagle received the Legion of Merit for his contributions
  • Controlling the narrative — If every human brain is a receiver for a non-local information field, then the deep state's interest in consciousness control takes on existential dimensions. Mind control programs (MKUltra), media manipulation (Operation Mockingbird), pharmacological suppression, and educational indoctrination can all be understood as efforts to keep the receiver tuned to a narrow, controllable band — preventing citizens from accessing the full information field
  • The democratization threat — Jordan Crowder, the Farsight Institute, and independent remote viewing trainers are teaching thousands of people to access the information field. If this training works, it represents the most fundamental threat to centralized information control in history. No classified document is safe. No secret meeting is private. No covert operation is hidden. This may explain why psi research remains marginalized despite decades of positive results
