CIA Validates ESP

CIA Validates ESP: The Hidden History of Government Psychic Research

For most people, the idea of extrasensory perception (ESP) belongs in the realm of science fiction and paranormal television shows. X-Files anyone? Yet, for over two decades, U.S. intelligence agencies—including the CIA—validated ESP as a subject worth serious investigation. Our founder Al Manning had already known this for decades.

Declassified documents now confirm that the U.S. government spent millions of dollars on psychic research, employing scientists, military personnel, and so-called “remote viewers” in a program that would later be known as the Stargate Project.

The question is not whether the CIA researched ESP—they absolutely did—but why. And more importantly: did the CIA truly validate ESP as real?

Why the CIA Took ESP Seriously

To understand why the CIA became interested in ESP, you need to go back to the Cold War.

The Al Manning Tapes is Truly Buried Treasure Revealed.

The discovery of The Al Manning Tapes (and a CD) is better than my wildest dreams coming true. That’s because I was hoping to find Al’s old cassette products listed in the old ESP Lab catalog covering topics like improving eyesight, losing weight, healing relationships, etc. A bunch of those were tracked down along with audio cassettes – dozens of them – with cryptic labels such as RS 1-14, CC 1-X, etc.

Popping RS 1 into a tape player that can digitize such recordings on the fly, it seems that RS stands for radio show. Hearing the voice of Al G Manning introduce the audience to “Adventures in Awareness” gave me some chills.

Magical Visualization – The Mental Art of Manifestation

Magical visualization is often thought of as something mysterious, hidden behind veils of ritual, ancient symbols, and esoteric words. But in its most practical and modern sense, magic is simply the act of aligning your intention with your reality to produce change. And at the very heart of magic lies one powerful tool that anyone can use—visualization.

In this article, we’ll explore the connection between magic and visualization, how they work together, why they are so effective, and how you can use them in your own life to create transformation—mentally, spiritually, and practically.

Going further, I’ll show you that there is no magic, actually, to magical visualization.

What Is Magic?

Magic, in the metaphysical or occult sense, is the art and/or science of causing change in accordance with one’s will.

Ozzy Osbourne Tribute

I’ve literally grown up with Uncle Ozzy since the early 1980s so I’m qualified to write this Ozzy Osbourne tribute. Let’s start out with the good news; Ozzy Osbourne still lives in our hearts and minds. Ozzy has been a living legend for decades and that’s not changing any time soon. For those in the ESP/Psychic/magic circles, his name is right up there with Pan, Puck, Bast, Zeus, Thor, etc. for what is conjured in the mind of most mortals who say or even think his name.

Try it right now and see for yourself. Feeling me?

I’m not the first one to say that thoughts are things. The accumulated power of tens of millions of thoughts mostly positive over the decades confers upon Ozzy godlike status no different than the comparatively popular Zeus and Odin mythological gods.

Celebrate Lammas With Abundance Gratitude and Sharing

August 2nd is the day to celebrate Lammas, the first of three festivals celebrating Mother Earth’s bounty. Baking loaves from the first grains and offering them at a communal meal has always been central to these gatherings, going back to thousands of years before the Common Era.

The Celts called this time Lughnasadh (loo-na-sa), Native Americans called it the Green Corn Festival and in Slavic Regions it is called the feast of the Big Glad Woman. Ireland celebrates Lammas as Big Sunday and farming communities gather at hundreds of traditional hilltop sites to set up craft fairs, feast, play games, and dance. A part of every one of these gatherings is a ceremonial meal where the first fruits of the harvest were shared in gratitude to Mother Earth.

Channeling Karma Can Put You on Easy Street.

Easy Street is a two way street, however, which is why it is so important to fully understand channeling karma so you prevent bad karma and proliferate the good stuff. I’m not here to explain why bad things happen to good people or why some really bad people live a charmed life. That said, karma is a very big piece of the puzzle. Here’s everything you need to know to shift reality in your favor.

The Dark Side of Channeling Karma

Ghosting - The Biggest Chaos-Causing Culprit of Bad Karma

I went into this with an overview of the seemingly eternal hell ghosters are condemned to. Now it’s time for a deeper dive.

Ghosting Karma is simple; you ghost them once then they haunt you…

…for days, weeks, sometimes months and even for years. Ghosting karma in action. After reading Instant Karma I think it’s a must-read for the human race. That’s because if more people had even a basic understanding of karma they’d drop ghosting like the bad habit it is,

In the dating world, the job market, the sales cycle and everywhere else, ghosting karma is the unseen stalker tripping up the career tracks, love lives and sales quotas of the offenders. So many people — too many people — are blissfully unaware or, perhaps worse, indifferent of the fact they are hurting someone at some level which in turn boomerangs that pain back to the ghost.

Celebrate the Summer Solstice

On June 20th when the Sun moves into Cancer in the Northern Latitudes, we celebrate the Summer Solstice. it is one of the eight great spokes on the Celtic Wheel of the Seasons. The Solstice (meaning sun stands still) is universally recognized in all cultures as an important turning point—it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere the Summer Solstice will be celebrated at the Winter Solstice in the North.

I have often written about the Fae (people of Fairie) and their role as protectors of the natural world. Since Summer Solstice was the time when encounters with the Fae were most possible, I felt called to write about such encounters.

Silly Superstitions are as Old as the Hills. Here’s how to have fun with them.

Today is Friday the 13th and that’s about as funny as silly superstitions get. From Norse mythology to the last supper to a slew of slasher movies, the whole thing has turned into a laugh as it should be. Here’s some perspective. Growing up I often spent time with a wonderful girl named Stephanie. She was a died in the wool horror movie fan and I never quite understood her fascination. She’d laugh as we watched the monkey brains scene in Faces of Death, Freddie Kruger’s soul pizza, Jason doing his thing at Camp Crystal Lake and all the rest. I wasn’t really ever frightened but I wasn’t howling with laughter either.

I’ve been working mostly “behind the scenes” here at ESP Lab since the board unanimously voted me in as treasurer and the president-elect of Spiritual Science and by extension, naturally, ESP Lab back on October 31, 2024.

Before I dive into my thoughts to Give Light, there’s just a little backstory. And introduction for those that don’t know me. My Memorial Day weekend wasn’t much of a holiday but it was a lot of fun with all the Lab work I did. As a faithful Al G. Manning student I wholeheartedly live by his motto “If I can’t have a good time I ain’t going”. That includes going to work on something or to somewhere. It was a total blast completing the milestone task of publishing all of the Al Manning occult courses yesterday.

Merry Meet and Blessed Be! Sending Lots of love and hugs to the entire ESP LAB family! Our ESP Lab is a true gift to each of us and a blessing to be part of.
