DARPA, Army fund 'telepathy' research

(This article originally appeared on the Joint Recon Study Group site.)

A research program to develop mind-to-mind communication among U.S. military personnel will receive $4 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), according to published reports.

The "Silent Talk" project seeks to create technologies that can read the "pre-speech" brain waves of individuals, interpret them and communicate them to other individuals.

Goals of these activities include "user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals."

The new DARPA funding is in addition to a previous $4 million the Army provided to the University of California for what they call "computer-mediated telepathy."

Of course, it is not really telepathy as we normally think of that concept. Telepathy typically refers to the idea of direct person-to-person, mind-to-mind communication.

It is possible that there is also a non-technological mediation process of some kind in the case of true telepathy that is not fully understood.

TRANSCENDENT WARFARE

The ability of the human mind to perceive information through a "sixth sense" or some kind of internal awareness or signal has been scientifically demonstrated in programs like Project STAR GATE, which was sponsored by various U.S. military and intelligence groups.

The activities of what came to be known as Project STAR GATE included trying to understand and utilize the sixth sense and what has been called "anomalous cognition."

This refers to a kind of unconventional perception or awareness that allowed acquisition of information about things, places, situations and people at a distance, without any additional or previous knowledge of the target.

It has been hypothesized that some kind of structure or energy around us, and within us, allows the deeper aspects of the human mind to reach out and perceive in unconventional ways. In these cases, too, there seems to be a mediation process, although it is not technological.

Are agencies like DARPA also funding research into non-technological telepathy? It would not be surprising since such a development would seem to have many advantages over the limitations of a computer/brain wave-reading technology.

A method or asset of this kind would probably fall into the category of "transcendent warfare," referring to a concept put forward by a former Navy SEAL officer in an academic paper that looked at Project STAR GATE.

Transcendent warfare is a concept that notes the potential of leading-edge and emerging advanced knowledge and understanding. The similar idea of "transcendent power" also includes utilizing new intelligence in ways that go outside the box and beyond conventional human thinking and behavior.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Unconventional capabilities of human beings and human consciousness are areas that seem to have significant potential, based on the research and development activities of Project STAR GATE and similar efforts.

Based on published research in this area, it would seem that non-technological telepathy is probably quite achievable and might already be operational.

It is easy to see how such a skill or ability would be useful for special operations personnel, intelligence officers, prisoners of war or U.S. personnel taken captive. There would also seem to be applications for this skill among public safety personnel such as peace officers and firefighters.

Intuition, instincts and gut feelings are all related to the idea of a human sixth sense that is hypothesized to exist along with our other five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.

Fine-tuning our sixth sense so it is reasonably accurate may not be an easy task. The U.S. personnel involved in Project STAR GATE found that various kinds of mental static, preconceived conscious interpretations and a tendency to jump to conclusions sometimes interfered with information that came to them through "remote viewing."

Discovering and identifying these kinds of factors was part of the valuable research conducted during the three decades of Project STAR GATE activities. These efforts have provided a solid jumping-off point for further progress in understanding the potential of human consciousness.

Telepathy research appears to be another natural component of this body of knowledge and seems worthy of appropriate funding.
