Not Even Remotely Good: Occult "Remote Viewing"

 


A woman with whom I work was leaving work early and asked me if I could cover for her by handling a couple of minor legal matters involving her client. "Cathy" (not her real name---Introibo) was a hard worker, a good lawyer, and we also had a good working relationship. It was not like her to ever leave early or come in late unless it was something serious. "Is everything OK?" I asked. "Yes, all is fine. A friend of mine is having a party and she's having a psychic come over and tell us what the future holds. It's actually scientific; they call it 'Remote Viewing' and this person has developed his innate power. I want to find out what my future brings." I tried to warn Cathy that it was not scientific, and it could actually be dangerous to all involved. She thanked me for the warning, but it had no effect on her decision. She is a member of the Vatican II sect.

Cathy and her friends were walking head first into the occult. The more research I do and the more time goes by in my life, I see that occult influences are ubiquitous. The occult has always been around and influenced world events, but we are now living in an occult revival, the likes of which has never been seen. This is due to the advent of the Vatican II sect, and the Church being reduced to a small remnant. People are now throwing parties with so-called psychics who claim to have the power of "Remote Viewing." 

In this post, I will give a general definition of what "the occult" entails, and expose the manifold dangers of "Remote Viewing."

What Exactly is "The Occult"?
 The word occult comes from the Latin occultus, which means “concealed” or “hidden.” It involves mystic knowledge and "magick powers" received from the demons and dispensed for the benefit of devotees or directed destructively at enemies by those who have been initiated into its secrets. The masters of occult power are known as medicine men (or women), witch doctors, witches, psychics, sorcerers, astrologers, gurus, yogis, shamans, mediums, and psychic healers. (When spelled "magick," the word denotes the paranormal, as opposed to "magic" which is used to refer to sleight of hand parlor tricks). 

Those involved in occult practices attribute the efficacy of what they do to one of four causes: (a) various pagan deities, (b) a "force" that is inherent in nature, (c) natural powers that "lie within people" who need to develop them, and (d) blasphemously asserting they come from the True God of Christianity. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines occult as 1)-hidden; concealed: 2)-secret; esoteric: 3)-beyond human understanding, mysterious: 4) designating or of certain mystic arts or studies, such as magick, alchemy, astrology, etc. The number of people (knowingly or unknowingly) involved with the occult is astounding. 

To give but three examples, author Richard Bach (b. 1936) claims that his bestseller, Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970), was all dictated by a spirit who appeared to him. (My unsuspecting father read that book to me at night when I was a child). Carl Jung (d. 1961), founder of analytical psychology was deeply into the occult. Jung’s mother became a medium who spoke in tongues, while Carl practiced astrology and tried to communicate with spirits like his mother. (See lifestyle.inquirer.net/294281/carl-jungs-fascination-occult). 

 J.K. Rowling claims to have received her inspiration for Harry Potter from an other worldly source. Rowling, during that train ride in 1990, has stated how the character of Potter came to her: "I was staring out the window and the idea of Harry Potter just came. He appeared in my mind's eye fully formed." (See Reuters, "Harry Potter Just Strolled into My Head" 7/17/00) She also alleges to hear in her head the conversations she writes:  "Dialogue just comes to me as if I'm overhearing a conversation."
(See januarymagazine.com/profiles/jkrowling.html). 

Logically, a belief in the occult could hardly have persisted for thousands of years unless enough people had convincing evidence that there was something to it. Of course, multitudes in primitive societies would vouch for that. The Bible condemns occult practices in both the Old and New Testament, and the Church recognizes them as sinful and evil.

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

Do not practice divination or sorcery. (Leviticus 19:26).

He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger. (2 Chronicles 33:6).

Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds" (Jeremiah 14:14).

 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical [telling the future] spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining. This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: "These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation." And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: "I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her." And he went out the same hour. (Acts 16:16-18). 

According to theologian Jone, "Spiritism claims to be able to communicate with the spirit world and endeavors to establish such commerce with it. Although spiritism is for the most part fraud, still the intention alone to enter into communication with spirits is gravely sinful. Therefore, it is mortally sinful to conduct a spiritistic seance or to act as a medium." (See Moral Theology, [1961], pg. 100; Emphasis mine).

Remote Viewing
Remote Viewing is often defined as “seeing remote or hidden objects clairvoyantly with the inner eye, or in alleged out-of-body travel.” (See Harper’s Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience by Rosemary Ellen Guiley, [1994]). What makes Remote Viewing different from other forms of divination (i.e., foretelling the future) is the fact that there was a serious scientific study done by both the United States and Russia to see if Remote Viewing could be used for espionage. Yes, at least two governments funded the study of an occult practice.

During the Cold War years, the USA and Soviet Union are known to have been spying on each other using the services of psychic ‘remote viewers’, with the specific objective of gathering intelligence information of military significance. In simple terms ‘remote viewing’ is ‘the ability of human participants to acquire information about spatially (and temporally) remote geographical targets otherwise inaccessible by any known sensory means’.

There were two complementary components to the US Remote Viewing program:

(a) A research program on ‘Anomalous Cognition (AC)’ directed initially by physicists Hal Putoff and Russell Targ at the laboratories of Stanford Research International (SRI) at Menlo Park, California which was shifted in 1988 to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), under the direction of Edwin May. The findings of their early studies have been reported in prestigious scientific journals during the 1970s.

(b) Mission-oriented operational assignments overseen by various intelligence agencies of the US Government, code-named Project STARGATE.

Information regarding this top-secret program was partly declassified by the CIA in July 1995 following the thaw in the Cold War. Since then, several research articles and many books have been published by some of the persons who were closely associated with this program. These authors have, however, expressed regret that they had not been permitted to reveal much of the ‘sensitive’ details of the program. 
(See ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/olj/sa/sa_jan02srm01.html). 

This program served as the basis of the 2009 movie, The Men Who Stare At Goats, staring George Clooney. The movie, in turn, was based on the non-fiction work of Jon Ronson of the same name published in 2004. The book explores the use of the occult in the military, which began circa 1975 and was defunded in 1995. The title refers to attempting to kill goats by staring at them and stopping their hearts using the "mental power" that also gave them Remote Viewing. Good to know where your tax dollars go. 

The source above is inaccurate in describing Putoff and Targ as "physicists." Targ (b. 1934) has a Bachelors Degree in physics and two years of graduate work in physics at Columbia University, New York, without ever completing a Masters or Doctorate. (See David Kaiser, How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival [2011], pg. 70). He was also fascinated by Theosophy, an esoteric, occult sect. Putoff (b. 1936) has a Doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and worked in physics related projects. He was also a member of the cult of Scientology. The Scientologists claim he has a Doctorate in physics, but I've seen no corroborating source. (See Hugh Urban, The Church of Scientology: A History of a New Religion, [2013], pg. 113).

Although in certain instances, government scientists could not explain the ability of some people to see things far removed and predict future events, there simply was not enough evidence for Remote Viewing to qualify as scientifically proven. (See An Evaluation of Remote Viewing: Research and Applications [1995], by Michael D. Mumford, PhD Andrew M. Rose, PhD, David A. Goslin, PhD; The American Institutes for Research). Hence, STARGATE was scrapped. However, that didn't stop people from claiming it to be true and scientific--and its popularity increased. 

Remote Viewers are convinced they can gather information of any kind whatsoever, wherever it is located in space and time—even in the future because time is nonexistent in the nonphysical universe, where the occult operates. Most Remote Viewers deny that they leave their bodies, even though they “see” remote locations. It is all mental. The mind is not physical, is not tied to the brain, and is therefore outside of space, time, and matter. It is only to be expected that science, which can only deal with the physical universe, has no explanation for Remote Viewing.

Some cases of Remote Viewing are false because the person thought they had a "gift" which they did not; some false cases are the work of charlatans, and some remain unexplained. It is those unexplained instances which will be examined next.

Differing Views
  • Remote Viewing (RV) is an innate human ability that people can develop. There are a number of problems with this theory. If  Remote Viewing is a normal function of the human mind—and thus all knowledge on any subject, whether it has to do with the past, present, or future, is available to anyone—then the Bible presents a false picture. Biblical prophets were nothing special, they did not need to be “holy men of God,” and they were not inspired “by the Holy Ghost,” but were picking up information from the “collective unconscious” available to anyone, with or without faith in God. Furthermore, there is no proof that the mind can do this, which is why the government gave up on funding research regarding RV.

  • RV is a special power that only certain people are born with an can use. Besides lack of any proof, it has theological problems. Vatican II sect "theologian" John J. Heaney claims Christ was one such "special person:" It seems to me that Jesus as a human being was blessed and gifted with incredible paranormal and psychokinetic powers. These powers he used at will. Others had such powers occasionally and in a limited way. Jesus seemed to be master over these powers...(See The Sacred and The Psychic: Parapsychology and Christian Theology, [1984], pg. 21).This is blasphemous and an implicit denial of Christ's Divinity. He performed miracles because He is God Incarnate.

  • The power is occult and the work of demons. This explanation comports perfectly with the facts and Catholic theology. Demons are also, like the mind, not tied to matter and subject to scientific investigation. Interestingly, those who were most successful in Remote Viewing practiced Transcendental Meditation or other pagan forms of meditation that can open one up to diabolic possession 
The Power of Satan.
According to theologian Sagues, the signs of someone possessed are: (1) to speak a foreign language never studied or to understand someone speaking it; (2) to know things hidden far away; (3) to possess strength beyond one's age or natural condition. (See Sacrae Theologiae Summa, II B:221; these signs are also mentioned in the Rituale Romanum.).  According to theologian Ott, being fallen angels, Satan and his demons have a higher intellect than humans, and can discern the future with a high probability. However, angels cannot know the secrets of God (1 Corinthians 2:11), cannot know the thoughts of men (3 Kings 8, 39), and have no certain knowledge of the free actions of humans in the future (Isaiah 46, 9). 
(See Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma [1955], pg. 117).

Am I claiming that psychics are possessed? They are either possessed or under demonic influence that transmits to them the information. 

Conclusion
Remote Viewing’s connections to Eastern mysticism, and other non-Catholic sects reveals much. The ultimate root of these philosophies is the belief that man is god in a not-fully-evolved state and has a latent power that needs to be tapped to solve the world’s problems. Remote Viewing is seen as one of many potential abilities of the human mind. The Christian God is banished, and this is why the forces of Hell promote it. The future is for God to know with certainty, and we must not seek it out, but live one day at a time in faith. The only true source of power is God—not ourselves, not Satan, not occult practices. So if anyone invites you to a party with a "psychic" use your "remote control," and stay away.

  2. "I tried to warn Cathy that it was not scientific, and it could actually be dangerous to all involved. She thanked me for the warning, but it had no effect on her decision. She is a member of the Vatican II sect. Cathy and her friends were walking head first into the occult."

    Cathy was already in the Novus Ordo occult religion which enchants the mind to believe and do whatever it wants despite the illogical consequences. It's the new believe it or not/do what thou wilt religion. The secret in being a member is to simply say you believe in the Catholic Church and its traditions and then deny it when it's time to be serious, as if you weren't really a member of it. The hidden power in the religion is cognitive dissonance.

    Introibo, I was curious to know what you think of Ed and Lorraine Warren? Bp. McKenna was involved with them when helping them out with cases of hauntings and possessions. I understand they grew up Catholic and eventually merged into the Novus Ordo but what is strange was how Lorranie Warren claimed to be a clairvoyant and that they have a museum of possessed artifacts from cases they were involved in. I'm not completely against what they were trying to do which was primarily to prove the existence of the devil and help people at a time when Novus Ordo clergy brushed it off as a medieval hoax, but some of the things they were into come across as bizarre.

    2. Introibo,

      Thank you for the link. I have seen both of those Conjuring movies and they were certainly made for a scare and were exaggerated for entertainment.

      As for the Warrens, there is no doubt they were in serious error regarding the teachings the Church and I would not promote their work in any way. Do I think they were evil? If they were doing it for attention because of fascination with the spirit world and if they truly were slandering people for gain, then yes. If they were trying to expose evil and prove that demons are real, they may have had good intentions but because of bad theology were doing it the wrong way. I tend to believe the latter but I could be wrong.

      I have read of frightening stories in both books Hell and Purgatory by Fr. Schouppe and how souls appear to people on earth. I would say it's possible that some hauntings if they are not demonic in nature are possibly souls in hell or purgatory appearing for some reason. The idea of "moving on to the other side" is a ridiculous concept because they have already been judged.

      As always, thanks for your added analysis.

  4. Re: J.K. Rowling, this is not uncommon of many artists. Many composers are able to hear complete symphonies in their minds before they put pen to paper. Are they all being interfered with by the demonic? Mozart, Beethoven, Bach? And if you remove all of the pesky magical elements from the Harry Potter stories, you get a tale where the forces of evil were destined to fail without doubt, despite ravaging the world with chaos for a period of time. I've heard that story somewhere...

    1. Dr. Weezil,
      Those "pesky magical elements" are condemned by God. It's analogous to saying "Debbie Does Dallas" would be fine if you removed the pesky pornography.

      Harry Potter tells us there are "good witches" and bad ones, when all forms of witchcraft (or "Wicca"), are condemned by God. (See Deuteronomy 18:10-13) Portraying evil as good, or having good potential, has never been so rampant as today. The first depiction of good and bad witches actually started with the film The Wizard of Oz (1939). The book of the same name, and upon which both a play and the movie were based, was written by one Frank Baum, an occultist (1851-1919).

      Baum belonged to Helena Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society (an occult sect wherein Blavatsky claimed that Satan was good), and used his writings to promote Theosophical views of magic and the occult. Baum claimed that he had channeled the Wizard of Oz, “It was pure inspiration.... It came to me right out of the blue. I think that sometimes the Great Author has a message to get across and He has to use the instrument at hand. I happened to be that medium, and I believe the magic key was given me to open the doors to sympathy and understanding, joy, peace and happiness.” ( See Michael Patrick Hearn edition; The Annotated Wizard of Oz, New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1973)

      Stephanie Meyer, a member of the Mormon sect, she claims that the story of Twilight was revealed to her in a dream:
      "I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her immediately. For what is essentially a transcript of my dream, please see Chapter 13 ("Confessions") of the book." (See http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html).


      She further relates that after her dream, she began to hear voices that would not stop until she wrote what she heard:
      "All this time, Bella and Edward were, quite literally, voices in my head. They simply wouldn't shut up. I'd stay up as late as I could stand trying to get all the stuff in my mind typed out, and then crawl, exhausted, into bed (my baby still wasn't sleeping through the night, yet) only to have another conversation start in my head. I hated to lose anything by forgetting, so I'd get up and head back down to the computer. Eventually, I got a pen and notebook for beside my bed to jot notes down so I could get some freakin' sleep. It was always an exciting challenge in the morning to try to decipher the stuff I'd scrawled across the page in the dark." (Ibid).

      The difference between Mozart and Meyer/Rowling, etc. is that the composers you mention were geniuses and quite possibly had mental issues. These women are of average intelligence, and honestly believed they came into contact with "something." Moreover, this "something" directly teaches things contrary to God.

      After she wrote her books, Meyers relates that "Edward" came to her in a dream to let her know he wasn't good. She told Entertainment Weekly, "(Edward told me) I had gotten it wrong, and he did drink blood like every other vampire and you couldn't live on animals the way I'd written it. We had this conversation and it was terrifying." (Emphasis mine). Could both women simply have active imaginations? When you consider both claim that the characters came to them out of the blue, both claimed they could literally hear what they had to write as from an external source, and all dealt with showing evil as good, I think a good case can be made these books and movies were demonically inspired.

      God Bless,

    2. Dr. Weezil.
      I agree that sometimes people can be weird but it is also true that we can defend that Twilight and Harry Potter are demonically inspired. Or, at the very least, inspired by drug consumption, or they LIED about "listening voices in their head".

      On the other hand, the classical style that Mozart and Beethoven wrote follows very strict rules that make the music sound pretty similar to each other, this means once you know the rules or the style of the music is pretty easy to compose. Add to this years of practice and musical genius, and you have those symphonies. I myself can make up songs in my head inspired on other songs I've heard, although they are different of course.

    3. Forgive me if I'm wrong but wouldn't The Lord of the Rings fall under much of the same scrutiny? If the concept of a "good witch" and "bad witch" is wrong, then why does Tolkien get a pass for a "good wizard"(Gandalf) and a "bad wizard" (saruman)? Or when Aragorn faces and commands the army of the "undead ghosts"? I love LOTR so I would love a little more insight into this, especially since the story is a fictional mythology based off the Bible.

      Thanks.

    4. David,
      There are several MAJOR differences between The Lord of the Rings (hereinafter "TLOR) and Harry Potter.

      John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (d. 1973) was a devout Roman Catholic when he penned TLOTR pre-Vatican II. His work is an allegory for various aspects of Roman Catholic theology. In his letters written in the 1950s, JRR Tolkien himself acknowledged his work was "...a fundamentally religious and Catholic work"

      Middle Earth's "wizards" contrary to popular belief, ARE NOT HUMAN. Each one, including Gandalf, is a "Maia"---an angel like being that has taken human form. They were sent by God to help. Hence, Gandalf and Sauron illustrate good angels and demons. Their powers are not supernatural or occult-based but are natural aspects of their race. In a letter from 1951, Tolkien said that in retrospect "wizard" was a poor word-choice, and he did not mean to imply anything occult.

      If you want to read more on Tolkien's explanation of his work, please see Humphrey Carpenter, editor, "The Letters of JRR Tolkien" (1981).

      In sum Tolkien wrote a Catholic religious allegory he consciously penned. It was not about witches and moral relativism dictated by some "voice." Big difference!

    6. Yeah it's been awhile since I've read LOTR. I've read a few of his other works too that I really enjoyed. Not that I'm a big Harry Potter fan, far from it, I have only seen the movies(which are subpar). So then does it follow if a work has "magick" in it(the good guy), it's intrinsically wrong? Even if in the setting of such work they make a distinction between "good" or "bad" "magick"?

      Delete
    7. David,
      If something is forbidden by God, how can it be "used for good"? Occult power comes from Hell. It's like "using abortion for good," a moral impossibility. We now even have a TV show "Lucifer" that has Satan as the "hero" and "doing good"! It's sick.

      Moreover, Harry Potter does NOT do good!! He is a moral relativist and teaches evil; See my post

    12. Gotcha,so as a follow up in regards moral relativism, is there a point when it is acceptable? You touched on this briefly in the linked article.. Perhaps lying to save someone's life, stealing to feed one's family for example. I've heard stories where the Church condoned/ tolerated the forging of baptismal certificates in WW2 in order to save Jews(not sure if that's accurate) but wouldn't that still be wrong even though the end goal is laudable?

      Delete
    13. David,
      There may have been baptismal records forged by some, but to the best of my knowledge and belief, Pope Pius XII never authorized such. Stealing food when starving is not stealing because private property is not absolute, and the person has a duty to give you food to prevent starvation; therefore you are permitted to take it. Withholding information from one who has no right to know is not lying. Father DePauw was captured by the Nazis as a young man. He and his friend escaped. An old German woman hid them in her house. When the Nazis arrived and asked if she had seen escaped prisoners, she said no. That was not a lie as the Nazis had no right to the information. As

      As theologians McHugh and Callan state, "Justice forbids that he [the owner] prevent the taking when e.g. a starving man takes food from one who has plenty." (See "Moral Theology" [1930], 2:143)

      Christ used a broad mental reservation when He said, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (See St. Matthew 24:36). Christ is God and knows when He will return. He meant, "No one knows WHO CAN TELL YOU except the Father." They had no right to the information. (See, e.g. Ibid, pgs. 438-440).

      A wonderful Traditionalist runs an incredible, indispensable resource called "The Catholic Archivist" at catholicarchivist.blogspot.com.

      He has archived all my posts from 2018-2020. (With the exception of the "Singing For Satan" series which he thought was too graphic and he will publish them in a censored version at a later time).

      He did a masterful job of placing my post according to subject matter--and I can't thank him enough!

      God Bless you in your time of mourning and may He comfort you.
