Physicist Russell Targ designed protocols to convince scientists and military people that remote viewing is an accessible personal skill. Unlike clairvoyance, remote viewing is intentional. He describes a remarkable series of coincidences that led him from laser research to parapsychology. He advised his children, and he advises us, "when something unusual happens, say 'yes' unless it is clearly dangerous. Russell Targ is a physicist and author, a pioneer in the development of the laser and laser applications in 1960, and a co-founder of the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) investigation of psychic abilities called remote viewing. This work in the psychic area has been published in Nature, and The Proceedings of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE. Targ has a bachelor’s degree in physics from Queens College and did graduate work in physics at Columbia University. He is author of ten books dealing with the scientific investigation of psychic abilities and Buddhist approaches to the transformation of consciousness. http://www.espresearch.com Our host Dr. Bernard Beitman is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to attempt to systematize the study of coincidences.
