Learning Remote Viewing with Paul H. Smith

Paul H. Smith, Major, US Army (ret.), is the author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind: Inside Star Gate — America’s Psychic Espionage Program” and “The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing.” As a seven year veteran of the government’s ‘psychic espionage’ effort, Paul was originally assigned to the Army’s Center Lane remote viewing program starting in 1983 and later transitioned with the program to the Defense Intelligence Agency in early 1986. He was transferred out of the program in 1990 to participate in Desert Storm as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division.

During his years with what ultimately came to be known as the Star Gate Program, Paul served concurrently as an operational remote viewer, training instructor, unit historian, recruiting officer, and security officer. Directly trained by the creators of remote viewing, Ingo Swann and Dr. Harold Puthoff of SRI-International, he was later the main author of the DIA “Coordinate Remote Viewing” manual, and was primary theory instructor for the unit, being involved in the training of other now-well-known viewers including Lyn Buchanan, Mel Riley, and David Morehouse.

Smith retired from the Army in 1996 and started a commercial remote viewing training company, Remote Viewing Instructional Services Inc. in January 1997. Based in Austin, Texas for 17 years, Paul’s company continues to train students in Cedar City, in the heart of Utah’s glorious Color Country of national parks and Ancient American culture.
