and can tell when I am going in the wrong direction in anargument, or when something is upsetting or confusing. I alwayscalled it intuition. I can also sort of feel it when someone islying to me."

Steve added, "Georgia is much better than I atreading other people's mental pictures. I can hardly do it at all.But, she doesn't do the things I do. We all have our own specialabilities."

Georgia looked through me for a second, thenchanged her focus to me, smiled a knowing smile, and then said, "Ikind of thought so. I'll fix lunch while you guys talk. We insiston you staying for dinner and spending the night in our guest cabinup the hill. It isn't much, but the solitude is great."

"Thank you," I replied. "I'd be delighted tostay for dinner, but I have to get back to Sacramento tonight tocatch an early plane tomorrow. Since the judge only gave me a monthto prepare for the trial, I need to get back to theoffice."

Steve smiled and began to focus, "Most peoplehave a surprising amount of ESP ability. They often don't recognizeor label it. When they first started the remote sensing experimentsat SRI, way back in 1972, they used people with recognized psychicpowers, people who had been tested in laboratories, and well knownprofessionally as quote, psychics. One day, they tried a remotesensing experiment using one of the secretaries associated with theproject, somebody who had never participated in any sort of psychicactivity. She could do it quite well. So, they developed a trainingprogram to use ordinary people who demonstrated psychic ability intests.

"I was recruited because I did well in somepsychic experiments we did in our Psych I class atStanford."

"Yes" I said, "I read your book."

"Good!" Said Steve, "I won't have to tell thosestories again. Where would you like to start?"

"Tell me about the basic process of remotesensing."

Steve thought for while and then said, "I liketo call what I do as psychic sensing because sometimes I can sensesmells, noise, cold, and all the physical sensations, as well avisual images. I can also sense the nature of a person, such asvery evil, and emotional state, such as sad, grieving, happy, orangry.

"I'll talk about two categories. The first is'remote sensing' of unsolicited information that simply comes tome.

"Many people, at sometime in their lives,experience unsolicited psychic events. Mothers will sense theirchild is in trouble and rescue them from some perilous situation; aperson will, at the last moment, decide not to board an airplanethat subsequently crashes; drivers will decide to take a differentroute to work on a day when, it turns out; there was a horrificauto accident on the normal route. There are myriads of suchstories. Although they are real to the people who experience them,science ignores the phenomena because they don't fit any scientifictheory."

"The second process, which I spent years doingfor US classified programs, is where they give you a target orobjective that has nothing to do with you, and you go into anextended deep meditation, and sense basic things about a target.For instance, they might want to know what is going on in abuilding photographed by a spy satellite. They would show me thephotograph or give me the geographic coordinates of the building.Then, I would start with sensing what someone in the building mightobserve at a sensory level: noises, colors, shapes, nature ofobjects, maybe something big like a ship hull; level of activity,such as busy or quiet. Over time, often a period of an hour, Iwould continue to sense the nature of activity, people buildingsomething, machines manufacturing material, or objects, etc.Sometimes, but not always, I would eventually get an image of theplace. While I was in the deep meditation, I would be dictating myobservations to an assistant who would guide me in gaining moredetail."

"So this wasn't a flash process, like theunsolicited events?" I asked.

"Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Most of thetime, it wasn't a flash process. My personal opinion, not verifiedby any studies, is that when I am remote sensing, I am getting theinformation from a person who is physically at the target. If thatperson is a "good sender," very involved in the activity, I get alot of information. If the only person there is a half-asleepguard, I don't get a lot."

"Can you give me some examples?" Iasked.

"Not very many. The program gave the customertons of data, much of which was verified by other sources such assatellites or on–the–ground spies. There were many formalevaluations of the program, which led to the program being fundedagain year-after-year. All I can say is that it was verysuccessful, and the President himself, actually two Presidents, sawdata from the program. I don't think examples in those dark fileswill ever see the light of day. I think the longevity of theprogram is the greatest testament to the success of theprogram."

I interjected, "I saw the picture of thePresident awarding you a medal in the book, and read the citationthat went with the medal. That award speaks of success."

"I wish I could tell you the story that led tobeing considered for that medal," said Steve with a wide grin. "Itwas a triumphant event.

"If you want examples of my abilities, I canprovide you TV footage. I used to do kind of a circus act for TVshows to demonstrate remote sensing. I might have a dozen or soclips.

"Most of them are of me describing photographsin sealed envelopes. Somebody associated with the show, who did notknow me, collected five eight-by-ten pictures of places and sealedthem in unlabeled envelopes. On the show, they pick one of theenvelopes and I perceive what is inside. I have been one hundredpercent in accurately describing contents of the scene in thephotos.

"In two of the demonstrations, they sentsomeone to some location in town and I described what they couldsee in the environs. In one of those, they had a remote TV crew atthe location. After I made my description, they showed what wasthere. All these are on a DVD, so I can easily make you acopy.

"In the past decade, I have been remote sensingas consultant for a variety of individuals, companies, andoccasionally some
