Stephan Schwartz, an individual who has explored extraordinary human functioning, discusses psychic archaeology and the use of psychics in academic settings to locate ancient sites. The podcast delves into remote viewing, dowsing, and psychometry, highlighting successful results like the Alexandria Project. It also explores indigenous knowledge and the role of psychics in archaeological investigations. Other topics include encountering the Edgricassee material, remote viewing experiments, evaluating remote viewing information, and using psychic abilities to solve mysteries and uncover ancient ruins.
Stefan Schwartz developed a rigorous protocol for remote viewing, conducting experiments to test psychic perception and focused intention on molecular structures, aiming to understand consciousness and its practical applications.
Schwartz combined remote viewing with location challenges to create a triple-blind protocol for archaeological discoveries, exploring the influence of consciousness and its continuity on human experience and perception.
Remote viewing has a rich history predating modern scientific exploration and can be traced back to ancient times, emphasizing the potential of combining ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding to further explore the capabilities of remote viewing and consciousness.
Remote viewing has been successfully applied in archaeological research, with remote viewers accurately locating underwater wrecks, ancient tombs, and significant sites, collaborating with experts to authenticate findings and supplement traditional methods.

Protocol of Distant Viewing and Remote Perception
Stefan Schwartz developed a rigorous protocol for remote viewing, which he initially called distant viewing. He focused on finding a method to communicate with deep ocean ballistic missile submarines without bringing them to the surface. Schwartz wanted to test the idea that psychic perception was not electromagnetic in nature. He conducted experiments in which he buried objects in a grid and asked individuals to locate them using remote viewing. He also conducted experiments on how focused intention could affect molecular structures in wine and water. His goal was to understand how consciousness works and its practical applications.
The Origin of Remote Viewing
Schwartz delved into the study of Edgar Cayce's readings and experimented with remote viewing in archaeology. He wanted to address the question of where to look for archaeological discoveries. By combining the remote viewing technique with location challenges, Schwartz aimed to create a triple-blind protocol that would withstand criticism and provide accurate information. He conducted experiments inspired by Leonid Vasiliev's work, testing non-local perception in Faraday cages. Schwartz's goal was to explore consciousness, its continuity, and its influence on human experience and perception.
The Rediscovery of Ancient Remote Viewing
Schwartz noted that remote viewing has been practiced for centuries, even though it was not called remote viewing back then. He cited an example from Herodotus' writings about an experiment conducted by King Creces of Lydia. Seven teams were sent to oracles to find out what the king was doing, and the oracle at Delphi accurately described Creces' actions. Schwartz emphasized that remote viewing has a rich history predating modern scientific exploration. He aimed to combine ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding to further explore the potential of remote viewing and consciousness.

Remote viewing archaeological discoveries
In this podcast episode, Stefan Schwartz discusses his experiences with remote viewing and its applications in archaeology. He shares two significant projects: the Deep Quest experiment and the Alexandria project. During Deep Quest, remote viewers accurately located an unknown wreck on the sea floor and described its features. In the Alexandria project, remote viewers successfully located the tomb of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra's palace, the Timonium of Mark Anthony, and the Lighthouse of Pharos. These findings were all confirmed by archaeologists. Schwartz also touches on the future of remote viewing and its potential to reveal more archaeological discoveries.
Challenges and reception of psychic archaeology
Schwartz mentions that his work in psychic archaeology has been met with mixed reactions. While his projects have received media attention, he notes that academia has been slow to embrace remote viewing as a tool for archaeological research. He highlights the importance of meticulous research protocols, triple-blind methods, and the need for openness in sharing results and methodologies. Schwartz believes that remote viewing has the potential to aid in the exploration of ancient sites and the discovery of hidden structures and artifacts.
The significance of remote viewing projects
Stefan Schwartz emphasizes the importance of the discoveries made through remote viewing projects. These projects have successfully located underwater wrecks, ancient tombs, and other significant sites, often with details confirmed by archaeologists. Schwartz highlights the collaboration between remote viewers and experts, such as archaeologists, historians, and scientists, to verify and authenticate the findings. He argues that remote viewing can offer valuable insights and supplement traditional archaeological methods, making it a valuable tool in archaeological research.
Future implications of remote viewing
Schwartz discusses the potential of remote viewing to explore the future in his 2050 and 2060 research investigations. These projects involve remote viewing to gain insights into future events and developments. Although he doesn't provide specific details in this podcast episode, Schwartz hints at the discovery of a genetically modified human species in the future and highlights the need for ethical considerations in the use and application of such technology.
My life has been spent exploring extraordinary human functioning, and how individuals and small groups can, and have, affected social change. I’ve done this both as an experimentalist in parapsychology, and by being privileged to have been a part of several major social transformations: civil rights in the 1960s, the transformation of the military from an elitist conscription organization to an all-voluntary meritocracy in the 70s, and citizen diplomacy between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 80s and 90s. Both the experiences and the research have convinced me that all life is interconnected and interdependent; which you’ll see reflected in the site’s several sections: my books, and research papers on Remote Viewing and Archaeology, Anthropology, Medicine and Healing, Creativity, and Social Policy; magazine articles and interviews; biographical material; and, experiential CDs, videos, and DVDs. You can read much of this material online, and download what you find of particular interest.I invite you to also take a look at my Schwartzreport.
