Ingo Swann

Although known as the Father of Remote Viewing, Ingo Swann often conveyed his exploration of human potentials through his art. But more than that he was a marvelous chef and host. With his endless love for Miracle Whip(R) and Cool Whip(R), without an electric kitchen tool save a blender, done solely on only a double coil hot plate using cast iron skillets and copper bottom pans, (with a toaster oven as backup), Ingo put his well ingrained cooking and hospitality skills to the test. He produced some the most enchanting dishes, rivaling the best restaurants in Manhattan.As a celebration of Ingo, Stardust Highways is a behind the scenes look at him as chef and artist, containing stories (part memoir, part autobiographic detail written by Ingo) and photos of Ingo, some never shared before, as an accompaniment to his recipes, art (stretching from his first still life in 1958 to his last painting, The Lightbringer, in the permanent collection of The American Visionary Art Museum) and love for entertaining.CONTENT GUIDANCE: This book has content with adult themes which is not suitable for children and contains artwork depicting nudity.

The Master of Harmlessness...who came and told us something about our real selves. "In April, I woke up one morning, out of the blue, and there was a sort of voice in my head, not exactly a voice, but sort of a telepathic thing, saying, "You will now write the Purple Fables, there will be four of them, and you will do one in each day and the title is to be Purple Fables," and I said okay...they were sort of dictated from somebody else, someplace, I guess. The Purple Fables happened in April of 1993, but on Christmas morning I woke up and there were these guys again, or these whatever, saying "Okay now you are going to write a thing called the Tale of the Master of Harmlessness and it's to be seventy-six draft pages in length," which is actually the length of all four Purple Fables put together, "and you are to work on it for certain hours in the day, and it will all be done by New Year's." And in fact it was done and printed out and sit there in manuscript form on December 31st.-- Ingo Swann

**UPDATED WITH NEW MATERIAL FOUND IN HAROLD SHERMAN'S ARCHIVES***Ingo Swann -- renowned psi researcher -- reveals a long-held secret series of experiences with a "deep black" agency whose apparent charter was simple: UFOs and extraterrestrials on the moon and worries about ET telepathic/mind control powers. The agency was so secret that it had no paper trail, and hence no written secrecy agreements. Only the verbal ones, which in Ingo's case expired several years ago. Now, in this era of burgeoning UFO "glasnost," he tells a story of meetings held in a secret underground facility not far from Washington DC, and of being taken to a remote location near the Arctic Circle to witness the expected arrival of a huge UFO over the surface of an Alaskan lake. This book discusses undeveloped human telepathy and contrasts it with the probable existence of fully developed alien telepathy, which may have many different forms. Ingo also explores the fact that we officially know far more than we're admitting about the Moon -- its origins, its atmosphere, its occupants and many other unusual features. Penetration is about one of the means by which we can learn more about those not of this earth (and vice-versa) -- telepathy. Do we have the means to answer some very important questions that many have been asking for quite a long time? Inside this book are the answers to some.PLUS...In a newly discovered missing chapter on his psychic probes of Mars ("9") to Penetration, Ingo asserts that there is a bigger question at play - the question as to "why do mass-consciousness humans, as it were, mass-consciously almost 'conspire' to avoid certain issues, and consistently so?" This inquiry, deep within Ingo's own awareness, is one that he would ponder until his passing in 2013. He no doubt wished to share this interrogation with the world back in 1998. Thus, while Neptune goes direct in Pisces, removing the veils, and providing an awakening of sorts, we have decided put Ingo's question to the world by including "9" along with Introductions by Dr. Krippner and Dr. Mitchell, an Afterword by Thomas M. McNear, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.), and recently discovered documents from Harold Sherman's Archives in this Updated Special Edition, all within an aptly named section entitled Subscript.

RE-INTERPRETING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AWAKEThe Hidden Revelation, a previously unpublished manuscript of Ingo's, was discovered by Nick Cook in 2016 in a nondescript folder tucked inconspicuously among some of Ingo's notes. Now, together with Beyond the Gods' Devices, another undiscovered manuscript, it is published for the first time as Resurrecting The Mysterious, a posthumous compilation that delivers what we (that is Nick and Swann-Ryder Productions, LLC) offer here as Ingo's' 'grand unified theory' of the human experience (and, in part, of consciousness itself). This asserts that paranormality is part of an 'expanded reality-set' rooted in the relationship between quantum theory, us the observer and something infinitely more profound, even, that is fully described in Beyond the Gods' Devices. The Hidden Revelation is more concerned with us, the immanent experience, the inward journey; Beyond the Gods' Devices with that world, whatever that world truly is, that binds and connects us to 'the numinous' -- that, which, at present, science is unable to describe. For many, it may also make the 'hard problem' of consciousness just that little bit easier to comprehend. We certainly hope so ...

The psychic child is one who is sensitive to nonphysical phenomena, energies and influences. The psychic child is sensitive to emotions and thoughts and to many other invisible happenings in the world around the child. The child's psychic nature is innate - born with the child, already functioning in a raw and preverbal form. To some degree, we have all been psychic children.In this small book, Swann draws together some of the most important features of the psychic child, offering as a help to the parent who might be mystified about the child's behavior.

In this milestone book, Ingo Swann guides the reader through revolutionary techniques he developed and tested in thousands of experiments, with startling results, for tapping ESP potential. His exciting new concepts of "mind mound," "mind manifestation," and the "ESP core" help readers demystify ESP and link this important inner reality to what is already known about dreams, memory, quantum physics, and human creativity. Swann shows how to become more receptive to the "deeper self" and make contact with the hidden reality in which ESP operates.

You Can Predict the Future Throughout the centuries the future has been seen in dreams, in visions, and by seers. But you don't have to be a prophet or a visionary to predict what the future holds. Now, Ingo Swann explains how to understand and use the future-predicting ability that lies within. He identifies the different ways the future is revealed: Spontaneous forewarnings during dreams Spontaneous alerts that happen when awake Forewarnings and alerts communally experienced by numbers of people while sleeping or while awake Consciously controlled future-seeing achieved by seers Ingo Swann also presents fascinating, documented examples of prophecies that came true, ranging from those that foresaw the sinking of the Titanic to his own prediction of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Your Nostradamus Factor explains how you can develop your ability to foresee the future by: - Overcoming blocks to future-seeing - Tracking a particular subject and testing your predictions - Using astrology to help see the future, and - Paying close attention to your dreams. With the millennium right around the corner, Swann also offers startling predictions for the future of the environment, the economy, science, and society. (originally published in 1993)

In 1989, Ingo Swann was invited by Dr. Elmer Green at the Menninger Foundation to participate in experiments involving physical energy fields, body, electricity, and states of consciousness. The experiments were conducted within an elaborate electrostatic "copper wall environment," the design of which was based on an ancient Asian technique to activate and enhance clairvoyance and lucidity. As a result of the numerous experimental sessions undertaken, Swann's clairvoyance increased tremendously. Various states of lucid consciousness were achieved with respect to "seeing" vivid details of invisible energetic fields and phenomena of the biological body and its astonishing higher-energy systems. In PSYCHIC SEXUALITY, Swann reports on the high-energy systems associated with sexual energies that most people sense, feel, and respond to at very basic levels of consciousness even if they cannot perceive them by clairvoyance. Swann enlarges the book by providing an historical overview of several past epochs of higher-consciousness research during which sexual energies were vividly encountered, but which research was vigorously condemned by organized societal forces. The existence of the societal suppression is itself suppressed. If it was not for the shocking methods utilized to achieve it, the suppression is quite hilarious. Why such research has undergone societal suppression provides an interesting question. As part of an answer, Swann provides a step-by-step rationale that has very surprising implications.

Any desire for more individual empowerment will soon encounter the question of WHAT to empower. There are many ways to consider this. One way is first to identify human power elements that are known to exist, but DO NOT receive societal nurturing, enhancement, training, scientific research, or philosophical interest. In-depth research will reveal at least five major categories of these power elements, one such category consisting of the aware powers innate in everyone of our species. The direct relationship between the spectrum of aware powers and increases of power is self-evident. The direct relationship between less or no awareness and less or no power is also self-evident. Most societal power structures do not encourage too much development of any aware and related powers, and, via societal programming of punishment, some structures force them into latency altogether. One basic reason is that too much awareness erodes the efficiency of walls of secrecy that support the elite of most power structures, whether large or small. Most are familiar with the awareness they have. But few are familiar with the awarenesses they don't have, but which anyway innately exist within their otherwise amazing information systems.

"If a fable is a legendary story of supernatural happenings," Mr. Swann says, "or a narration intended to enforce a useful truth, then these four are fables--which shouldn't be confused with fairy tales targeted only for children. These, then, are tales for kind and loving people of all ages.""The Temple of Sanity" tells of an idea that became a reality and grew into an insitution, only to develop rules and leaders, cliques and critics . . ."A Clay-Modeling Lesson" tells of the four identical boys separated at birth and raised Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and atheist, and how they met as representatives of their respective communities . . ."The Fate and Destiny of a Traveling Clairvoyant" tells of a woman with a special talent, who found that people prefer seeing dimly to seeing clearly . . ."Watcher of the Purple River" tells of an old woman and a young man, and how she taught him to watch the river of life . . .These fables came to Ingo Swann as a gift from a part of himself: He awoke four mornings in a row and literally had to write them. They have in common a gentle wisdom, a kindness, an empathy, that will make them immediately precious--and then unforgettable--to the reader whose heart is open.

THE REALITY OF INNATE HUMAN WISDOM-MAKING In this sensitive work, Ingo Swann once more opens up the continuing story of the fuller extent of human consciousness, which, by many accounts, is amazing and intriguing. These accounts are found in all cultures ranging from ancient to contemporary, and the sum of them more than suggests that humans plus their innate consciousness are designed for a much richer and astonishing existence than what most societal programs encourage or permit. The nexus, or connected group, of the discussions in this book turns on only two interactive questions: Is human consciousness designed for self-destruction? OR Is it designed to continuously sustain its own pro-survival into futurity? There are many categories within human consciousness that work to sustain pro-survival. But all of them can be affiliated with one central heading: WISDOM, without which our species could not have survived anything, even itself.
