About the Author
After writing Psychic Warrior, Dr. Morehouse formed Remote Viewing Technologies in 1997, a company originally designed to train police officers in the art and science of Remote Viewing.
In early 1998, Dr. Morehouse began training civilians in the exact military protocols and standards to which he was trained in the Remote Viewing unit, circa 1987 to 1990. To date, well over 11,000 students have been trained in the United States, Europe and other far-reaching parts of the globe.
Dr. Morehouse's Remote Viewing students find their way to him from a range of diverse backgrounds. He lectures and educates across the spectrum of human interests. His students include (but are not limited to) medical doctors, researchers in science, medicine and technology, engineers, homemakers, physicists, students, artists, and alternative practitioners.
His teachings and writings have been especially appreciated in Europe where his reputation and his evolving humanistic philosophies have earned him countless accolades in the European Press where he is routinely described as “one of Europe’s leading new metaphysicians.”
Biography, DAVID A. Morehouse, PH.D.
Dr. DAVID MOREHOUSE has had an extremely diverse life, which in the words of his superiors, essentially began with a notable military career. He held a Regular Army commission in the United States Infantry and is a Distinguished Military Graduate and a Dr Ralph D. Mershon Award winner, designating him as the top cadet commissioned into the Regular Army in 1979, amongst 2,800 other potential candidates.
During his tours of duty, Major Morehouse served in many staff and command positions ranging from Airborne rifle Company Commander to Commander of an elite Airborne Ranger Company—he commanded for over four years while the majority of his peers commanded only eighteen months. He was Aide de Camp to two army generals, the Battalion Executive Officer (second in command) of the 680 men of the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, as well as being the Chief of Training for the 13,500 men and women of the 82nd Airborne Division.
From 1987 to 1991, he was assigned to several highly classified special access programs in the US Army’s Intelligence Security Command and the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Science and Technology as a top secret Psychic Spy. An Army Ranger, Master Parachutist, Pathfinder, Scuba Diver and Special Operations Soldier, his distinctive military skills place him in a select group of army officers. He holds a Master of Military Art and Science Degree, a Masters degree in Administration, and a Doctorate in Education. The recipient of numerous military awards and decorations, his last assignment was to have been with the Chief of Staff of the Army’s elite “Study Group” as the non-lethal weapons expert.
Despite being designated by his superiors as “Destined to wear stars,” he resigned his commission in 1995 after his decision to write Psychic Warrior—his resignation ended eighteen years of exemplary and honorable military service.In the eight years since he resigned, Morehouse has written three books: Psychic Warrior: Inside the CIA’s STARGATE Program, Nonlethal Weapons: War Without Death, and The Deceivers, his first work of fiction. The latter—The Deceivers—was recently purchased by Paramount Pictures as a feature film with Mace Neufeld producing and Simon West directing. Psychic Warrior is an international bestseller published in 14 languages. Universal Pictures is presently developing a feature film based on David’s life story, as recounted in Psychic Warrior, to be titled Comes the Watcher. Nonlethal Weapon: War Without Death, is considered an academic work and has met with much critical acclaim in the world of strategic planners.
Dr. Morehouse has twice lectured at the Mikhail Gorbachev Foundation’s State of the World Forum on issues concerning global peace and alternative methods of conflict resolution. In 1999, a committee of scientists and educators from the United States and Europe nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in the category of “Alternative Sciences.”

Gangster - I posted that trailer a few weeks ago when we were discussing hollywood being a little left of center. I laughed my ass off when i first saw it and the first thing i thought of was when they were all talking about the Holistic training in the mid 80s at 10th. I sent it around to a bunch of old 10th grp friends and it was also the first thing they thought of - I shipped elsewhere before it started but i vividly remember the initial discussions/rumors.
Jim Channon started the program I believe from what I read in the book this movies based on. They even had a manual come out. First Earth Battalion (http://firstearthbattalion.com/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=2&Itemid=23) Good for a laugh anyway :D

Unlike these wackos Echanis had "kinetic energy" behind his fighting style.
Remote Viewing sounds great, until you're facing a few hundred heavily armed charging taliban, then I'm sure the crackpots are more than happy to leave the fighting to real warriors.;)
I'm surprised the individuals using "Remote Viewing" didn't see hollywood was going to make them, and the Army one big "joke".
....see hollywood was going to make them, and the Army one big "joke".
...perhaps with the jokes might come some REAL questions and honest dialogue.

Commendable form of logic.

I was Team SGT of 055 who was the "Control team" for the program. After several weeks they had comparison tests, after the second testing, they picked another "Control Team", We thought it funny at the time. Guess they didn't acquire the anticipated results.

We spent a lot of time at the "Dojo"... read a lot of books, and never once stared at a goat... although there were a couple of the C/2 Scuba guys who might have qualified... I had more bruises from those stupid kendo swords than I care to think about.
I learned a few good techniques to relax and focus, but I'm not sure my efficiency as an SF soldier increased that much. SGM "Joe" was not enthused with the way it threw off the training schedules once the Jedi Program was implemented.

Obviously you didn't frequent the same bars I did while stationed in Ft Bragg/Fayetteville. ;)

I know this is a old thread but I was wondering how John Alexander fit into this? I have never spoken with the man we do not travel the same circles. I am sure he is making a killing off his books with some ufo nuts. But I figured it was a clash with his status with in DOD and his um.. personal beliefs. Is this verified "Dr. Alexander organized and chaired six major conferences on non-lethal warfare and served as a US delegate to several NATO studies on the topic. As a member of the first Council on Foreign Relations non-lethal warfare study, he was instrumental in influencing the report that is credited with causing the Department of Defense to create a formal Non-Lethal Weapons Policy in July 1996. He was a distinguished guest lecturer at several DOD universities and has advised the CIA, US Special Operations Command, and the National Intelligence Council."

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Hamlet, 1.4.90
With only two years to go for retirement????? Sounds like severe case of rationalization to me.

He knew what was going to happen.
The project was called "The Trojan Warrior Project".
As an insignia it took the logo of a flying horse above two light sabers. Beneath was the inscription "Vi Cit Tecum", or "May the Force be with You".
25 operators participated in the project.
Dr. Richard Strozzi Heckler was one of the primary instructors. Richard is an extremely gifted / talented man, former combat Marine long time aikidoist and psychologist.
In 1990, he published a book about the project titled "In Search of the Warrior Spirit - Teaching Awareness Disciplines to the Green Berets".
The book is still available and is most interesting on a number of different levels.
Commander of the Ranger Training Brigade at the time, Keith M. Nightingale, commented of the book "This book should be necessary reading material for all Rangers and Special Forces units."
Heckler continues to train and teach in northern California.

Kasik how long did you serve on an actual A-Team?
You do realize that this thread is in the comedy zone? We've already chased off all those lunatics and dispelled the myth of these idiots. This was not done by Green Berets it was commo support and intel support soldiers. And the only reason it was classified was because of how stupid it actually was in the first place. Do us a favor and leave it where it lies, in the stupid zone.
Team Sergeant -
Please accept my sincere apologies -
No, I did not "see" this as being in the Comedy Zone and so my response was what it was -
I might add that even if it is in the "comedy zone" all I provided was a response with accurate information about the program - which as you point out in your kind reply did indeed take place -
And as Richard Heckler is a friend of mine and fellow martial artist, notably so in the Art of Aikido, his book is very good and goes beyond simply the project.
Finally, I don't know if it's necessary to offer a thought in the manner you did.
I was on an A-Team long enough to serve in two wartime campaigns with plenty of MTTs inbetween.
Respect given is respect given back.
