Remote Viewing the 2040 Crisis: Precognitive Warnings About Humanity's Future | Stephan A. Schwartz (Episode 193)
Amazon | Apple | Overcast | YouTube | Spotify
Stephan A. Schwartz has spent 60 years researching consciousness through remote viewing, a technique he developed in 1968 to access the non-local aspect of human consciousness. He's used remote viewing to locate Cleopatra's Palace, Mark Antony's Timonium, Christopher Columbus's caravels, and solve murders for law enforcement. His work proves non-local consciousness exists and is not electromagnetic in nature. He also discusses precognitive research warning of a major crisis coming in 2040 and what humanity must do to avert it through conscious choices.
About This Episode
Stephan shares what modern remote viewing is, how it works, and specific examples of how he's used it to find archaeological sites and solve crimes. He discusses his precognitive research revealing a 2040 crisis that people unconsciously sense, driving current fear and social division. He explains the 10% tipping point—how consciousness shifts in a population can transform entire societies. He addresses contemporary issues including Trump, fascism, racism, and gender suppression as manifestations of precognitive fear. He shares the remarkable murder case of an Amish girl where remote viewers pinpointed the body's location precisely. He closes with the quotidian choice—making daily conscious decisions to support well-being and compassion.
What is Modern Remote Viewing
A series of protocols to access the non-local aspect of consciousness
Consciousness is causal and fundamental, not electromagnetic in nature
Requires intention-focused awareness, which meditators naturally develop
Accessing an eternal self that chose current incarnation, parents, race, gender
Understanding continuity of consciousness changes priorities toward fostering well-being
Remote Viewing Evidence
Found Cleopatra's Palace and Mark Antony's Timonium in Egypt
Used remote viewing for government to find Saddam Hussein
Located one of Christopher Columbus's caravels from his fourth voyage
Multiple remote viewers provide consensus on locations, not electromagnetic signals
Independent scientists verify findings through field work, sonar, radar before revealing predictions
The 2040 Crisis and Precognition
Stephan's precognitive research documents a major crisis coming in 2040
People unconsciously precognize this future crisis, creating emotional disturbance
Fear about this unseen threat is driving contemporary racism, sexism, and political division
Darker sides of human personality emerge when facing precognitive dread
Fascism and strongman politics appeal to frightened populations seeking certainty
The 10% Tipping Point
When 10% of a population shifts consciousness, entire societies transform
Example: elimination of slurs through collective consciousness change
Example: cigarette smoking declined as people became aware of health damage
Example: shift from "gay" to "LGBTQ" terminology through conscious choice
Small percentage changes cascade into widespread cultural transformation
Social Transformation and Well-Being
Stephan was part of civil rights movement and military transformation in 1970s
Transformed military from elitist conscription to volunteer meritocracy, racially and gender neutral
Participated in citizen diplomacy attempting to turn Russia into democracy
Racism has been America's cancer from the beginning, despite abolitionists like Benjamin Franklin
Gerrymandering and election rigging target Black voters and districts currently being deployed
The Amish Girl Murder Case
14-year-old Amish girl disappeared; community crimes are extremely rare
Remote viewers identified teacher as killer, described how body was hidden
Described specific details: killer stopped at White Castle, ate three hamburgers with body in trunk
Remote viewers located exact burial spot under fallen tree in Pennsylvania woods
Hunter found body exactly where remote viewers indicated; killer confessed when confronted with hamburger detail
The Amish Girl Murder Case
14-year-old Amish girl disappeared; community crimes are extremely rare
Remote viewers identified teacher as killer, described how body was hidden
Described specific details: killer stopped at White Castle, ate three hamburgers with body in trunk
Surprising detail revealed who the murderer was
The Quotidian Choice
Every day make dozens of small choices about what you buy and people you work with
Research companies and individuals to understand their intention and what they foster
Of available options, always choose the most compassionate and life-affirming
"Quotidian" means daily, mundane, ordinary
Tell 10 people you're doing this practice; invite them to invite 10 others—this can save humanity
