Open AI Summary

This document is a memo from consultant I. Swann to Dr. H. E. Puthoff, Director of the Psychoenergetics Program, regarding the training of two INSCOM selected personnel in the CRV (Coordinate Remote Viewing) procedures. It explains that these procedures have been developed through R&D since 1976 and have identified non-sensory signals that can be utilized by individuals with proper training. The memo provides a general overview of the training procedures, including the stages involved in the training process and the specific components and exercises covered in each stage. It also recommends that INSCOM select two personnel of appropriate calibre to undergo stage one training and suggests a collaborative evaluation process for selecting the personnel. The document is marked as SECRET.

 This memo is a little overdue, in part because of the recent difficulties
 and uncertainties in funding, and in part because the complex structure
 of our developed training procedures.
 I am providing here a general overview of the procedures and certain
 recommendations.
 General Description of Developed CRV Training Procedures
 Since 1976, we have conducted R&D on phenomena encountered in attempting
 to view distant sites by non-sensory means.   These concentrated efforts
 have resulted in the identification of certain signals, interpreted by
 us to be of non-sensory origin.  Many of these signals have been confirmed
 through repetitive testing on volunteers.
 A series of these signals have been organized into a structural form that
 avails itself of workable comprehension, and the chief characteristics
 within this structure display dependable relationships to each other.
 These characteristics can be presented in an educational form to a trainee
 of proper calibre through a method that includes tutelage and coaching.
 This system of orientation and training enables the trainee to identify,
 practice, take command of and utilize the signals in a meaningful and
 predictable manner.
 To date, we have ascertained with certainty the structure and limitations
 of three consecutive signal lines.   These signal lines are of fundamental
 importance to any attempt in coming to grips with the vicissitudes of
 non-sensory functioning.  We identify these signal lines as "stages," and
 I believe we can proceed to consider training two INSCOM selected person-
 nel in the phenomena of stage one.

 Contents of Stage One Training
 General orientation.
 Major stage one signals, lectures and practical exercises.
 Major sources of noise, lectures.
 Stage one signal identification, lectures and practical exercises.
 Specific components of stage one signals, lectures.
 Specific components of noise interference, lectures.
 Types of major stage one signals, lectures and practical exercises.
 Simultaneous handling of signals and noise, practical exercises.
 Objectification procedures, lectures and practical exercises.
 Analysis of signals, lectures and practical exercises.
 Anomalies encountered in signal identification.
 Self-correcting mechanisms inherent in signal/analysis, lectures.
 Methods of recording, preparing and presenting work materials, lectures
 and practical exercises.
 Culminating features of stage one signals, leading to emergence of stage
 two signals, lectures
 Note:   each of these stage one features are carefully presented and
 overseen by the training monitor.  Trainees are required to keep full
 notes, remaining proprietary to SRI psychoenergetics projects; numerous
 essays on each feature will be requested from the trainees to ensure
 competency of understanding.
 Final checking to ensure that competency has been gained concerning stage
 one phenomena.
 Suggested Recommendations
 (1)   INSCOM should be invited to select two personnel of appropriate
 calibre who might embark upon stage one training and orientation.
 (2)   The appropriateness of these personnel should be arrived at
 through mutual considerations.   INSCOM should be invited to evaluate their
 choice of personnel through a type of selection procedure that fairly
 incorporates our experience and recommendations.
