Thanks again for joining us at Behind Greatness. This episode was recorded with Joe in June 2024 and is part 1 of a developing series with Joe.

Joe was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as “Remote Viewer #001" within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States' first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness.

During this introductory episode, we get exposed to some of Joe’s military adventures from the Vietnam war – falling out of a helicopter, breaking his nose multiple times while under enemy fire and taping himself to the top of a tree for 14 hours. We learn about his recruitment into the then classified remote viewing intelligence program and the ensuing 40+ years as one of the worlds most accomplished remote viewers. Joe helps us understand what remote viewing is and what it isn’t, the operationalization of the practice, using the skills to help police department and detectives across the US in missing children cases, the need to “unlearn your habits” and the uphill battle he’s been fighting for a long time. And, so much, much more.
