Army Intelligence Officer | Pioneer of Military Remote Viewing | Author, Reading the Enemy's Mind

About

Major Paul H. Smith (U.S. Army, Ret.) is one of the original members of the military's top-secret remote viewing program — codenamed STARGATE — that ran from the 1970s through the 1990s under the direction of the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Trained directly under Ingo Swann, the man who developed Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), Smith became one of the program's most accomplished viewers and its primary protocol trainer. His book Reading the Enemy's Mind is the definitive insider account of how the U.S. military used psychic espionage as an intelligence tool during the Cold War — and why it worked. He holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Texas and runs RVIS Inc., providing remote viewing training and consulting to government, corporate, and individual clients. At CITD 2026, he is offering both a lecture on telepathy and a highly practical intensive that will teach participants a real, deployable remote viewing skill.

Awakening Human Abilities: Telepathy, Remote Viewing, and Limitless Potential

In the realm of expanded consciousness, psionic capabilities push beyond the limits of conventional science, challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of the mind. Some are born with psychic abilities fully activated, while others believe with intention and practice, potential for intuitive perception can be developed. The ultimate question remains: could these extraordinary gifts exist within us all, waiting to be awakened?
