New Realities recorded on February 27, 2021
Summary
In this episode of New Realities, Alan Steinfeld interviews Lyn Buchanan, a former member of the US military’s controlled remote viewing unit and an expert trainer in the field. They discuss Lyn’s unexpected recruitment into the program by General Stubblebine, the detailed methodology behind controlled remote viewing, and its practical applications ranging from police work to personal decision-making. Lyn also shares his insights into viewing future events, the concept of a mutable timeline, and the importance of self-reliance as we face upcoming global challenges.
Transcript
Alan Steinfeld
Welcome to New Realities. I’m Alan Steinfeld. This program is about the evolution of consciousness, and a big topic that I’ve studied and lots of people are interested in now is remote viewing, originally started in the 1970s by the Stanford Research Institute, Russell Targ, Hal Puthoff, Ingo Swann. And then from there, there was a whole next wave of people that really took remote viewing and made it a practice, made it a discipline, called controlled remote viewing. And we’ll be talking all about the history, the practical techniques, and the importance I think of what that means in terms of human consciousness. So I’m talking to Lyn Buchanan, who still teaches controlled remote viewing, and how did you get involved?
Lyn Buchanan
I was a controlled remote viewer and the trainer of the unit for the US military’s controlled remote viewing unit.
Alan Steinfeld
But how did you first get involved with the whole program?
Lyn Buchanan
I was in Augsburg, Germany, and I was doing programming for the intelligence services over there, computer programming. And I did a program that tied the computer files of 12 different countries together and got them talking to each other and exchanging information. And the day of the demonstration of it, we had all these generals come into the room and this…
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
This other sergeant had wanted the job of doing the programming, but they gave it to me. He was very jealous about that. And I went to the bathroom to make sure my hair was straight and no wrinkles in my uniform and all that and came back, and I did my introduction, hit the Enter key, and it went blank. And all these generals from all these different countries started giggling, you know, and I turned around and this other sergeant was at the back of the room pointed like this and said, gotcha.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow. That’s awful.
Lyn Buchanan
Oh yeah. And I got flaming angry. I have always had this problem of if I get really angry, things fall off shelves, things go bad, things like that.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, I’m not going to get you angry then.
Lyn Buchanan
And when I did, the computer systems for the entire field station went down. And there was a captain there who had come in just to see that many generals in one place and all that…
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
And he was working for General Stubblebine, the head of the intelligence and security services. General Stubblebine was interested in PK and psychic warfare and all that. And this captain reported the incident to General Stubblebine. About two months later, General Stubblebine came out to the military unit, and he was installing a new commanding officer for the field station. And they told me I needed to report to the commander’s office. I thought, what did I do now?
Alan Steinfeld
So you were in the, was it the army you were in? What service were you in?
Lyn Buchanan
I was in the army, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
And what level were you at? What was your…
Lyn Buchanan
I was a sergeant first class.
Alan Steinfeld
And you were just trained in regular military intelligence work basically, right?
Lyn Buchanan
I was a Russian linguist specializing in scientific research and development.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, so Stubblebine calls you into the office, and then what?
Lyn Buchanan
And he got right up in my face, and he said, did you kill my computers with your mind? And I could just picture my great-grandchildren still paying for computers, you know? And I just sort of heard myself say, yes sir, I did.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow.
Lyn Buchanan
And this grin came across his face, and he said, far effing out. Have I ever got a job for you? And he wanted me, I found out much later, that he had wanted me to be part of a unit that would start doing things with enemy computers…
Alan Steinfeld
Right, like the men who stare at goats, right? The men who stare at goats sort of thing.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, that scene, that scene in The Men Who Stare at Goats where General Hopgood talks to Lynn and says, yeah, far… That was exactly the same scene, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
And real life, yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
But anyway, Congress said no, no active mental work. Only passive mental work, you know, collecting intelligence. And so that’s when he put me into the remote viewing unit.
Alan Steinfeld
Was this after the SRI program went into the military sector? Was it…
Lyn Buchanan
Ingo Swann lost his contract the week before I got there. I was to train with Ingo Swann. He lost his contract on Friday, I got there on Monday. And so they said, well, you’re just gonna have to learn from us now.
Alan Steinfeld
Wait, so you went to the Stanford Research Institute, and that’s after Ingo… is that…
Lyn Buchanan
No, I learned from the other remote viewers already trained in the unit.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh, so this was after the initial foundation by Hal and Russell and Ingo, right?
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
And then there were the people they trained that went right into the CIA.
Lyn Buchanan
They didn’t train them. Ingo did.
Alan Steinfeld
Ingo trained them. So, but you did meet Ingo, you did…
Lyn Buchanan
Oh yeah, we became good friends, and I went out to Stanford several times, you know, on unit’s business and all that. And got to know Ingo and became permanent friends with him for the rest of his life.
Alan Steinfeld
He was a really interesting guy. I knew him a little bit in New York, a great painter, great astrologer, great visionary. His Mother Mary sightings were something people don’t know that much about, but he was quite a character.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, his book The Sightings of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a quick revamp of his full book, which was about twice the size. His computer broke down, and he had to have the… he had to meet the deadline for the book. And so he sent me his computer hard drive, and it took me several months to get the complete book back, but by that time his quick revamp of the book was already published. And so I’m probably the only person who has the full manuscript of his book that I got off his computer.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow. I’d love to see that sometime. I mean…
Lyn Buchanan
Well, I sent a copy to his sister, and she doesn’t want it spread around in case they ever want to publish the whole thing. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
Well, his family kept all his great paintings. They don’t want to spread… I mean, it’s sort of too bad because it’s just my opinion that they’re depriving the world of his great work, I mean.
Alan Steinfeld
I got involved with remote viewing by interviewing Russell Targ, and he said, well, I can teach you right here. So I did. I was able… I don’t know where these images come from, but he says, look for what you don’t usually expect in the monkey mind, and boom, this image came in. And it’s sort of a miracle how it works. I mean, I’ve been now teaching that to… how do you explain it ultimately?
Lyn Buchanan
I don’t. I am rarely ever surprised by anything I see in this, but I’ll never quit being amazed. And people ask me, where does the information come from? Everybody has their own theory. Right. And I’ve always said that they hang on to that theory like they’re lost at sea and it’s the only thing that floats, they will not let go of it. Right. But nobody, nobody has any proof.
Alan Steinfeld
Could it be this is… well, this is just my theory, is that…
Lyn Buchanan
Whatever theory you come up with, it could be. I will agree to that.
Alan Steinfeld
Well, the one that makes the most sense, not really sense, allows that, our right brain knows everything about everything all the time. It’s connected to… to the infinite.
Lyn Buchanan
But then you get, how does it do that?
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah, that’s… that’s…
Lyn Buchanan
So you’ve stopped trying to figure out how it works and just know…
Lyn Buchanan
You know, people come to me with all these theories and I always tell them, hey, I will believe your theory if you help me get a missing kid home. Right. That’s all I care about, you know. Help me out here.
Alan Steinfeld
And people do do that though. They do… they do that kind…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. But whatever the theory, whatever, it’s sort of miraculous that it works, you know. I mean, I was doing it with a group of people and I was actually showing the scene, and people saying, oh, there’s a lot of people around, and it seems like some kind of parade or celebration. This was about 20 different people got the same thing. And you know what it was? It was the JFK assassination. They just boom, they didn’t get the exact thing, but they got they got the sort of circumstances around that.
Lyn Buchanan
Here’s the thing. Russell can show you in five minutes how to do remote viewing successfully. Yes. You get vague things. Okay. What Ingo developed was a methodology, and this is what we used in the unit, where you get those vague things. And then in a structured format, you take one vague thing at a time and remote view it. Oh. Anything you get about it, you take those things one at a time and remote view that. And you get details, details, details, infinitely accurate details.
Alan Steinfeld
Wait, so let me understand that. So let’s say you got this crowd, they didn’t know what it was, then you… they already have the… how do you remote view something you’re already viewing though? I mean, how do you…
Lyn Buchanan
Okay, you get this crowd. Yeah. Okay. Describe the crowd. Oh, okay, the crowd… they’re general people. Okay. They’re lined up along a street. Okay. Describe the street. Oh, okay. The street is going downhill and there’s a hill back behind the people, and there’s a big building back there. Oh, describe the building. Oh, that building is a red brick building and what’s the purpose of it? It’s a warehouse. Oh, really? Describe the warehouse. What’s in it? You know.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh. And then you start to see more details.
Lyn Buchanan
That’s right, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh, and then eventually would you ever name like oh, this is Dallas? Does that ever come to people? This is Dallas, you know, like you know, 1963.
Lyn Buchanan
It does, yes it does. But Ingo always discouraged that, because the minute you you name something, then whatever associations you have with that name come in and start flooding you with pollution.
Alan Steinfeld
So the idea though of remote viewing aspects of what that initial vague thing is, you want to put together a whole picture eventually of that, right?
Lyn Buchanan
That’s right, yeah. And so in five minutes, yeah, you can do remote viewing and get a general thing of the crowd, you know, of the site. Right. In controlled remote viewing, you may spend two or three hours take a break over a day, spend two or three hours the next day, and do this for five days getting details, details, details, details, details. This is why it was used for intelligence gathering against enemies, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. Now would you talk about the role of the monitor in controlled remote viewing? Now would the monitor tell the group, yes you’re right, there was a crowd, or not not anything.
Lyn Buchanan
No. That’s pollution. Okay. The monitor is there to take notes, to watch the viewer and take notes. After a monitor gets to know the viewer, the monitor can tell when they’re going off onto a flight of fantasy and when they’re on target and will make notes, you know. And all of this is done in writing. The viewer’s stuff is done in writing. So the monitor can say, beginning of page five appears to be AOLing off into fantasy. Analytical overlay, yeah. Right. And then when they get back on target, you know, middle of page seven back on target now, and all that. So but then also, if the viewer stalls, the monitor’s job is to cue him with some new part of the target that they can get started on again.
Alan Steinfeld
Like you cue them… what would you say as a monitor? How would you cue somebody?
Lyn Buchanan
Let’s say in the beginning they’ve said there’s a crowd of people and there’s land. And so they’re describing the crowd of people and all that and then they stall. Oh, okay, move to the land and describe. Right.
Alan Steinfeld
Right.
Lyn Buchanan
Simple as that. Also the monitor’s job is so the viewer won’t have to keep track and think logically… When they go to a new page, something as simple as giving them the new page number so that they can write it down, things like this.
Alan Steinfeld
What do you mean by a new page where they write more detail? You’re saying or…
Lyn Buchanan
Oh yeah, because a page… one of the CRV sessions I’ve seen them go 60 pages long.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow. So you’re really getting into quite detail. And and…
Lyn Buchanan
Extreme detail, yeah. And I I want to say that Lyn teaches controlled remote viewing and it’s an incredible course if you’re wanting to understand any aspect of it. How do people find that course online? Where do you go to do you…
Lyn Buchanan
My website is CRVIEWER, crviewer.com.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. It’s definitely worth it if you’re at all interested in developing this part of the mind because it does seem to be something we’re all capable of doing. Of course, we need the training that you’re talking about, but we have this facility as human beings. Isn’t it miraculous that that… first of all, we’re not told that, and that it exists?
Lyn Buchanan
You know what seems miraculous to me? Is the fact that we all have it, and nobody’s using it. Yes. Yes.
Alan Steinfeld
And and what could we… I mean, so you worked for the Army Intelligence, but what are the practical aspects? I mean, I use it say, what what should I go where should I go eat to what restaurant? Uh, but what are the practical what would you use it for really?
Lyn Buchanan
We use it for businesses. We use it for military, for different agencies, for police work. Right. We use it for, we have medical applications. We’ve done quite a bit of space exploration, research and development for R&D projects that companies have and that the government has, and finances. We’ve got some students who learn this and I mean they head it straight for Las Vegas.
Alan Steinfeld
Well, so you would uh would you you would uh remote view like a card in the future that would come up or dice, or is that what they were doing in Las Vegas with this or how would you work?
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, ideograms, right? Yeah, right. The picture, yeah. A physical response to an inward awareness. Okay. Right. You develop an ideogram for red, black, and green. Uh-huh. And one for don’t bet.
Alan Steinfeld
Right.
Lyn Buchanan
Go and sit at a roulette wheel.
Alan Steinfeld
You know, but it’s just so that yeah, if we were to be taught this as children, I just imagine how…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
This this is really where we’re going as a civilization. I think that’s why your work is important to start to develop an awareness.
Lyn Buchanan
I one of my big hopes is that it helps humanity. Humanity is in need of help right now.
Alan Steinfeld
Well that’s what I was gonna talk to you about a little later like you remote viewed the future, so. And the future you’ve told me it’s not necessarily predictable. It’s seen, but you you’ve talked about the Joe’s Diner effect uh or some it’s…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, the future is changeable and the Joe’s Diner thing. Deals with the work of a psychic or remote viewer when they deal with the public.
Alan Steinfeld
Uh-huh.
Lyn Buchanan
So if the police come to me and they say, where’s the criminal going to be at 9 o’clock tonight? I do my session and I say he’s going to be at Joe’s Bar and Grill sitting eating dinner. Right. So at 8:30 they go hide in the bushes, 8:45 he walks up, they jump out, arrest him, and at 9 o’clock he’s in jail.
Alan Steinfeld
So…
Lyn Buchanan
I was wrong. They changed the future. If I had said at 9 o’clock he’s in jail, they would never have gone to Joe’s Bar and Grill, and he would be sitting there eating dinner. And so the fact is that the whenever you report the future, the future becomes changeable. And so any predictive work like that is no different from the weatherman.
Alan Steinfeld
But it gives me sort of chills because what you were remote viewing originally was uh…
Lyn Buchanan
Was the future as it was at that time.
Alan Steinfeld
But did that future actually must have existed in some level of reality in order for you to remote view it, right? I mean…
Lyn Buchanan
I’m not sure about that. A lot of people have this theory of multiple universes and every decision I ever make in my entire life creates an entire new universe. I’m sorry, I’m not that important.
Alan Steinfeld
Well…
Lyn Buchanan
I don’t know of anybody who is. I just I can’t believe that. Yeah. I I don’t I don’t do the woo-woo part. I really don’t.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah remote viewing is woo-woo enough. But um so but no, it’s it gives me so you saw like in that case is you see a probable future or a future as it stands at the moment of your viewing.
Lyn Buchanan
A future as it stands at the moment of your viewing.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
Then if somebody’s going to change it, okay, I tell the police where he’s going to be at 9 o’clock. I do another session, and now I find out he’s going to be in jail.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. I think it must have changed because you said something like at the SRI SRI Stanford Research Institute they would remote view where someone was going to be before they were there. And they would be right, or Joe McMoneagle does that, but so it didn’t change it because they didn’t act on it or what…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. We have another analogy that’s more pertinent actually.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay.
Lyn Buchanan
It’s called the bug on the pond of time. You’re a bug on the pond of time. You look across the pond and there’s another bug sitting beside a rock on the pond. Right. And you think that would make a good meal. So you head out across the pond of time toward that bug, it sets up a wake in front of you.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay.
Lyn Buchanan
Right.
Lyn Buchanan
That wake, that precedes you, scares that bug away and it’s not there when you get there. Does that mean it wasn’t there when you looked across the pond? It was there. Okay. And so the bug has gone away. That future has changed. The rock is still there. There are rocks in the pond of time that we can’t change.
Alan Steinfeld
So there are events you’re saying in the pond of there are things that are destined for humanity that are unchangeable.
Lyn Buchanan
There’s this constant fight about predestination and free choice. Right. They both exist at the same time. There are some things that are predestined. There are rocks in the pond of time. There are some things that simply by acting on them, you change them. You come to a traffic light, and you’re supposed to go forward, you decide, I’m going to turn right. Right. You just changed your future.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. So you do a shift you not only change your future, you change the future of everyone that you would have passed on the road if you went straight or turned right. I mean, you in a way you are that powerful, you change the destiny of of the world by your decisions. I mean.
Lyn Buchanan
But you didn’t create a whole new universe, you just changed the future of the one you’re in. Yeah. So there are destined events, that makes sense, that and then there’s the um details that seem to um seem to be able to be manipulated in a way.
Alan Steinfeld
So well let’s talk if you want to share what you saw of the future when you were you remote viewed and then what can we change? So what did you see and if you want to share in 20 or 10 years or 20 years, I mean what’s coming…
Lyn Buchanan
First of all, I saw definitely that it can be changed. But what I saw, they asked me to view up to 2050 in the US. The conditions in the US. Who asked you that? Was that the government the who asked you that? I mean…
Lyn Buchanan
That was a task that I got.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, we don’t have to go. That’s fine.
Lyn Buchanan
The government gave us military tasks. This was a personal task that I got.
Alan Steinfeld
That’s fine, okay.
Lyn Buchanan
We had congressmen and generals coming through all the time, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
Right.
Lyn Buchanan
Anyway, um I saw that in fact, I found the copy of the session I did that in the year 2020 will be the beginning of a series of man-made natural disasters, and these man-made natural disasters will last for 20 years. Wow.
Lyn Buchanan
By the end of the 20 years, there will be a great decrease in the population. Cities will have pretty well become useless and pretty well emptied out. That’s already happening, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
It is, it is.
Lyn Buchanan
And that people would start being at home, staying isolated, but all relationships would be through technology. Here we are. There we are, yeah. And that it would become, over time, a largely agrarian society where instead of getting groceries delivered to your store and all that, you basically grow your own. And right now I would like to get a greenhouse here at my house. Listen, the greenhouse builders are so busy, I can’t even get one of them out here to give me an estimate.
Alan Steinfeld
So but is that a future that is set or is that a rock or is that something we could now maybe change.
Lyn Buchanan
It’s something we can change. I think we can change.
Lyn Buchanan
Now I was also tasked with viewing December the 21st, 20 12… 2012, yeah. And what I saw was that it was a tipping point and nothing more. That we could make massive changes before then, but at that tipping point, it was gonna be downhill.
Alan Steinfeld
And and did we did you remote view that after 2012? And did you see what was the what did you view?
Lyn Buchanan
No, that was all before 2012 when they first came out with the Mayan calendar, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
But after that, did we go downhill? Was it an actual tipping point?
Lyn Buchanan
Where are we now? We’re downhill, for sure. Yeah, we’re downhill and that as we get going downhill, it’s gonna go faster and faster, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
So what can we do, I mean, if you can remote view the potential in human beings, what can we do that you see that could change right now?
Lyn Buchanan
My advice to people when they ask is prepare for yourself and your family.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
That’s it. We have, I saw this coming way back in in the 90s, you know. And we got this place. We got it solarized. We have solar power. We have our own power, we have our own deep well, we have stockpiles, and I’m not a prepper by any means, you know. Not digging a hole in the ground and getting a bunch of guns or anything. But yeah, I would say take your head out of the sand and look at what’s going on and just prepare. Go buy some extra groceries.
Alan Steinfeld
Definitely. Um, but yeah, no, so either way, you can’t lose if you buy extra groceries, but if we could change that, could could do you remote view possibilities how would humanity actually change or save itself from that sort of fate if that was…
Lyn Buchanan
I just don’t see it happening.
Alan Steinfeld
Right.
Lyn Buchanan
All right. Now I think it would take a concentrated effort on the part of millions of people, and we can’t get millions of people together, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
But the other fat… yeah no, I I understand because we’re not together, but the other factor that maybe you viewed is the presence of ETs, right? Uh how do they work for the future of humans?
Lyn Buchanan
You know I didn’t see any of that in that prediction I did. I wasn’t tasked with that. My personal feeling is that there is ET influence going on, but that’s a personal feeling from other things I’ve viewed and other things I’ve seen, other people I’ve talked to, through my classification, you know, security clearances and things like that, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
So you were ass… you don’t have to share this, but you were asked by the military to rec… to do uh extraterrestrial remote viewing of? No?
Lyn Buchanan
We were never officially asked. Okay. We were given military targets.
Alan Steinfeld
But have you on your… you were never officially asked, okay I get it. I get it. But separate from that, what do you, what have you seen just on your own outside the the military of of beings that inhabit the other worlds. I mean, have you can you share some of that? Um…
Lyn Buchanan
Well, they’re there, you know. And I have had an encounter that lets me know I mean no no longer a theory I know they’re there. But a lot of people have had these personal encounters and you know the rest of the world can say, oh, you’re crazy, you’re imagining things. It’s mass hysteria that you know the UFO was there and and hundreds of people saw it, oh, that must be mass hysteria.
Alan Steinfeld
No, no, I don’t agree with that. Actually I just written a book about the making contact. I’ll I’ll send you a copy. If you want to do an endorsement, I’ll send you an email. I would love your feedback about it, it’s so… but you know, you talk about getting into the mind when you remote view, when you’re really good you can get into the mind of people, but could you get into the minds of these other beings as well?
Lyn Buchanan
Many people can, and it’s kind of done that yes, uh-huh.
Alan Steinfeld
Because my theory, and it’s just a theory, is that they don’t think…
Lyn Buchanan
Maybe an unofficial task. Right. Right, but but they don’t think like I can we can get into people’s minds because we sort of understand how they think. But when you get into the mind of an ET, it seems like they don’t have the same cognitive functionality that humans do. Was that difficult?
Lyn Buchanan
In many ways they do. In many ways they do, but there are differences.
Alan Steinfeld
But what was the difference if you want to…?
Lyn Buchanan
People say what do they want? Well, for one thing, there’s not them and us. There’s us and them and them and them and them and them and them, you know. And they all want different things. One of the common things is common to the American soldier, which is what?
Lyn Buchanan
They want to go home.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh.
Lyn Buchanan
I mean, as far as we think we have a great planet, it’s not home for them. They’re here to do a job. They would rather be home.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. Do you think us humans are actually not not home here either? There’s what we are we are our home is somewhere else.
Lyn Buchanan
That’s home for me. You know, as long as I pay rent, it’s home. Of course I don’t pay rent. I you know, I own the place but…
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah, but we’re part of… I mean, it just seems like the human mind is so different than every other creature on the planet, maybe not dolphins and whales, but that we’re connected to this bigger reality that that…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. And when you access the minds of animals… yeah. There are differences, but there are common things too: safety, fear, hunger, self-preservation. I mean, it’s all there, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
But did you ever remote view a place where humanity will then realize it’s connected to the cosmos or will we always stay as one of those rocks that will always stay in isolation?
Lyn Buchanan
I don’t know, I have never been tasked with doing that.
Alan Steinfeld
I’ll task you with that. No, because it seems like there, you know, sightings, I mean not to get off the topic of remote viewing, but sightings have been up worldwide. It seems like there is a presence that wants to make itself known.
Lyn Buchanan
For sure. Yeah. Well, and that wants to not make itself known too.
Alan Steinfeld
Right, right, right. It’s it’s it’s very complex. It’s very uh we’re in a strange situation. I think we’re at that tipping point again, where or is it have we really passed that in 2012, it seems like there’s another…
Lyn Buchanan
We passed it, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
We passed it. So can you… you talked about also remote viewing from now the past. So you could change the past like you gave us… talk about that.
Lyn Buchanan
No, you can’t change the past, but we have found that you can influence the past. What didn’t you say like you wake up and you find that you shouldn’t be going some place for whatever… if you remote view… well what did you say? You remote view from now the past and you change… you influence it. Talk about that.
Lyn Buchanan
Okay, one of the things we found out developing remote influencing, where you can put things into people’s minds. Okay? You have a moment of decision. Okay? So I have a moment of decision: am I going to buy this car or not?
Alan Steinfeld
Uh-huh.
Lyn Buchanan
A year from now, I find out that I bought a lemon.
Alan Steinfeld
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
Okay, if that future, as it stands now with me signing, I find out I bought a lemon, I can access myself at the moment of decision and say, don’t sign.
Alan Steinfeld
So you would remote view the actual signing of the car. Okay, if I do this and then you remote view a year from that moment right then. And then you could see the circumstances of that…
Lyn Buchanan
No, I would not remote view right then. I would listen to that voice. That very small voice from the future. I would listen to hindsight from the future. And I did a study on this, a four-year study one time. The first year I kept track of every decision and later found out whether it was a wise one or not, you know. And I was at about 53-54% good decisions. That’ll never get you rich or famous or anything like that, you know. And so the second year, I started doing this accessing. And at the end of that year, once I got feedback on everything, I found that it had gone up to around… I think it was 78% good decisions. The third year, it went up to almost 90% good decisions. The fourth year, I have never gone back and tried to influence any decision I made that year. It was back down into, I think, 58%.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh, because that was the control part of that. So when you act… talk about then how you do the accessing so you make good decisions. How do you…
Lyn Buchanan
Take the course. Oh, okay. It’s a whole long thing. The reason I say that is not to get you to take the course.
Alan Steinfeld
No, I know, I know.
Lyn Buchanan
It is because it’s not easy.
Alan Steinfeld
Right, right.
Lyn Buchanan
In fact, it’s very difficult. You really have to know… you really have to know what you’re doing. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
Right, no I know, I know. It’s it’s an advanced thing. But it just seems like sometimes you do get, like you know I was going to this restaurant I always go to all the time, and I just got the feeling I shouldn’t go to the restaurant. But I said to myself, well, I go there all the time and I like the food, so I went, and I sat next to this guy who had a couple years ago, wasn’t this year… a couple had a really bad cold, and it was like… and I got this, picked this thing up and it’s like, oh that’s what that was about! Oh, it wasn’t about the food, it was about the bigger picture there. And it’s like, so if I would have listened to… ‘oh you don’t need to go there,’ then instead of questioning ‘but why, I like the food’ and it’s all that, then so I I’ve decided now to if I get a feeling for something I I I think well the small person, the small personality can’t maybe know in this moment why, but it’s about trusting those voices from the future.
Lyn Buchanan
And if you learn that lesson, you’ve learned a lot about remote viewing. Right. Because in remote viewing, the we say the remote viewer is in charge of everything in remote viewing. And your remote viewing… your remote viewer is your subconscious mind, not your conscious mind.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. And our subconscious mind must always in be talking to us, I would say. But but…
Lyn Buchanan
If we know how to listen.
Alan Steinfeld
If we know how to listen, and that’s why it’s important to take your course because we… there’s cues from the subconscious mind that, you know, and like you talk about in your course, the AOLs or the analytical overlays, theyre not always distractions. Sometimes there’s meaning for that.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
That you know, if you just take a quick remote viewing course, they might say, just don’t pay attention to your AOLs, but you’re saying…
Lyn Buchanan
That’s right, yeah. Yeah, there’s a reason like uh you you get a uh an impression, a vague impression of red.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
And you think, oh an apple.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
Well, it’s not an apple, it’s just your subconscious telling you red, but your conscious mind has got to identify things, you know? Right. And we have another analogy for that of Ug and Og. Ug and Og, two cavemen walking through the primeval forest, and they hear a twig snap behind them. Ug says, saber-toothed tiger, and runs. Og says, uh, what’s that? Guess whose descendants we are? You know? And so from caveman days, the ability to quickly name something, jump to a conclusion, has saved our lives. Right. And now we’re saying don’t do that.
Alan Steinfeld
Now it’s in the way. That immediate instinct is like…
Lyn Buchanan
That’s right.
Alan Steinfeld
So we have to… that’s the part of separating the mind from its conditioning to or what Russell called the noise from the signal.
Lyn Buchanan
That’s right, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
So there’s nothing in a way you can’t do with remote viewing because that’s how incredible humans are.
Lyn Buchanan
We’re learning new applications all the time, yeah. Mm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
So people, as they become proficient in remote viewing, they become um I wouldn’t say licensed, but they get assignments uh to do certain like to find people or or or you… right? Uri Geller would be uh working for these mineral companies looking for… but do you…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. Stock… stock brokers are always interested in people who have a proven track record. You gotta prove yourself first.
Alan Steinfeld
Uh-huh.
Lyn Buchanan
You can’t prove yourself. And because of that, controlled remote viewing not only includes the training and the work, it also includes databasing. You know, these days people don’t say show me your proof. They say show me your data.
Alan Steinfeld
What what is that, can you explain that? Databasing?
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. If um if you do a session, okay? Uh, many trainers of psychic work will say, oh you got something right then yeah you’re a psychic. Uh, what we do is we take your session, we go through it. Every impression you got, we put it up against the feedback and say, is that right or wrong?
Alan Steinfeld
The feedback is the actual target. Is that what you mean? Right, right, okay.
Lyn Buchanan
The actual target. Now at the end of that we say, okay you got color wrong, but you got shape right. Over time and multitudes of sessions, what’s going to happen is the database is going to show what you’re strong at, what you’re weak at. A project manager who starts using multiple remote controlled remote viewers can task each one according to their strengths. And if there’s something they’re weak at, they’ll test… they’ll find another viewer who’s strong at that and task them. So if we have, let’s say, 10 remote viewers who have an average accuracy rate of 70%, we can get 95% accuracy out of them.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow. Because you’ve uh fine-tuned their skills. So it… so it’s important to work in a group when you’re doing remote viewing, would you say? Um…
Lyn Buchanan
No, no it’s important to work alone so there’s no pollution, cross-pollution. However, a project manager will work a group. Uh-huh. And task them individually toward their strengths to get the information in. Then the project manager compiles the data, analyzes it, and provides it to the customer.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh I see. So the group works separately but they you focus have them focus on and then the project manager puts all these different elements together because the project manager may not know what the target is. It just um I mean…
Lyn Buchanan
Usually they know what the target is but they’re trying to find the unknown answer.
Alan Steinfeld
Mmm, right. So…
Lyn Buchanan
But here again is where I say, you know, I wasn’t tasked to do that. We learned very quickly that um that you do what you’re tasked to do by the project manager.
Alan Steinfeld
I see. So I I’ve met people who are great remote hearers. They can hear sounds or or feel. So the project manager would have them task those elements there.
Lyn Buchanan
Right, uh-huh.
Alan Steinfeld
Do you have to go? Do you have an appointment? Uh, oh.
Lyn Buchanan
Okay.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, no. No, because this is fascinating because I mean the course you go into the intricacies, but here you’re sort of outlining all the elements of of of…
Lyn Buchanan
The thing is remote viewing is easy. Yeah. Controlled remote viewing is basically a scientific process that is formalized. Um, if you go to one controlled remote viewing teacher for like basic…
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
And then their schedule for intermediate training doesn’t match your schedule. You can go to another controlled remote viewing trainer. Their course picks up exactly where yours left off. We all teach exactly the same thing. The Ingo Swann method and the format is the same, the terminology is the same, everything.
Alan Steinfeld
Well the Ingo Swann method is what, creating the chart with tempera… is that is that the Ingo Swann method to specific? What what do you call…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, uh-huh. That’s a simplification of it. Yeah, uh-huh.
Alan Steinfeld
And and and then you get elements of it. Cuz I I’ve talked to uh this woman, Nancy Datura, she was teaching her own actually…
Lyn Buchanan
Nancy du Tertre. It’s a French word. It can’t be pronounced.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah, yeah. But she she seems to be doing really interesting things as she took off from the controlled remote viewing. But…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, hers is different, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
But with controlled remote viewing CRV you can get very specific and then do you eventually name the target? Because you don’t want to ever go into the to the left brain nouns.
Lyn Buchanan
Yes you can, and CRVers often do name the target accurately. Uh-huh. It’s discouraged.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, because you dat…
Lyn Buchanan
The project manager has discouraged it, because the minute you name it, all of the you know, Eiffel Tower, oh, must be French, you know. You know, did you know there’s an Eiffel Tower in Tokyo?
Alan Steinfeld
Right, right. So that’s key though. And that’s also what Russell talks to. You don’t want to name it because that takes you into the left brain, that sets it into a a box. And remote viewing is a part of from what I’ve seen and felt, it’s a part of us that is so unlimited that taps into those… And and I I think it goes back to children should be taught this. They should be taught how to use their mind.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, hm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
And that’s a revolution. That is.
Lyn Buchanan
It really is. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
I mean, that’s exciting. I’m really happy you’re doing the work you’re doing. Uh um…
Lyn Buchanan
I love it. I could not see myself going through life and not giving this to the world. I just can’t see that.
Alan Steinfeld
And and and people are doing very well giving your courses. They’re really um…
Lyn Buchanan
Oh I’m I’m surprised by many of by much of the work they’re doing. Uh, like I say, I’m not that surprised anymore, but I am amazed at it. They’re doing stuff in in two months that it took me two years to learn.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow, wow, wow. Do you when you’re do you ever get into like a different aspect of the mind like channeling like when you’re connected… I mean it’s different than remote viewing but it’s still a a facility of the mind. Do you ever…
Lyn Buchanan
That comes up, and in the advanced methods of the Ingo Swann method, um there is a quote ‘tool’, a mental tool that lets you stop the CRV and go do any other method, get the results of it, bring it back into the CRV session, and then remote view each individual part of what you got from that other method. And so um there is a way in CRV to incorporate any other method.
Alan Steinfeld
Wow.
Lyn Buchanan
I mean you wanna you wanna gut chickens and read entrails, Ingo provided for anything, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
Huh. One more question or maybe if you have a little time, do you ever remote view… we talk about ETs but what about, well your your wife has just died recently, right? And um sorry to hear that. Uh do you do you use your mind to connect with her consciousness? Or do can people use it to connect with people have passed into the other realm? And and because you’ve trained, is that communication is it as re… of course it’s not like having someone there, but is it is it as real as like that person being here? I’m just curious.
Lyn Buchanan
No, not as as real as the person being here of course, you know. Right. But they’re conscious. Also, it’s what’s called an esoteric… it’s the esoteric part of controlled remote viewing where you get the information and uh and the information is basically verifiable but not provable.
Alan Steinfeld
Not provable.
Lyn Buchanan
Verifiable but not provable, yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. Like like I think Krishnamurti said that about past lives, it was it was real but but you couldn’t prove it, you know, I mean. So do you go into that as well, past lives and that that for your own…
Lyn Buchanan
You can. I re- I rarely ever get tasked with anything like that, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
Well do do you ever work on that on yourself? Because if if if the mind is non-local, then who we are is non-local consciousness that exists beyond the body, which is what remote view actually proves. That you know, so who we…
Lyn Buchanan
I get a lot of requests for that kind of information. But um I have a stack of targets that I would like to do, a stack that other people want me to do, and a stack of missing kids. Listen, that third stack wins out every time. Uh I I just never get the things that I wanna do or that other people want me to do. Right. If there’s a missing kid I’m gonna do what I can to help, you know.
Alan Steinfeld
Well well thank you for doing… so you can find out if the if the child is alive or not or and where they might be located, you get a that’s that and you work with police… I mean some people work with police departments for that.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. I I don’t often anymore because I’m now teaching others. And uh and when these things come up, I will generally pick the person who is by the database has the best track record at working that, and I give them the experience. And I will consult with them, help them through it and all that. But I’m wanting to get more people out there who are highly proficient.
Alan Steinfeld
Right, that’s why you’re doing the training. Yes. But just getting back to the idea of past lives, do you ever like get a glimpse of or future, do you ever get a glimpse of like where you may have been or you look at someone you get a some overlay of like some… I guess I don’t know, maybe it doesn’t I guess you know being here is probably more valuable than thinking where we were in the past, right? I mean…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, I have done that, yeah. Mm-hmm. Um maybe not. And one of the things I found was that maybe saying past lives and future lives is the wrong term. Uh-huh. Maybe it’s uh prior lives and parallel lives and lives you know, to come. Because like if you have reincarnation, you may reincarnate into the past to learn your next lesson.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh, I see. Yes.
Lyn Buchanan
Your past life may have been a hundred years from now.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh. That ma… I’ve often thought of that because I’m drawn to certain time periods that that seem very interesting, you know. That’s great.
Lyn Buchanan
So the soul and the subconscious are not bound by time. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
And also other worlds, other planets, other mean other forms, other…
Lyn Buchanan
Right.
Alan Steinfeld
What is your work taking you now? I mean you’re still teaching, you’re still activating, but is there anything else you want to do with um I mean you’re doing it, but is anything big picture…
Lyn Buchanan
Our our work… my writing and all that I want to do that you know, but uh right now I have several hundred students and that’s keeping me busy.
Alan Steinfeld
Do you have some books out there too? Do you have a…?
Lyn Buchanan
I have a book called The Seventh Sense put out by uh…
Alan Steinfeld
Oh yeah, I read that! Your The Seventh Sense. Right! You put that out about 20 years ago.
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah. And uh it’s about not only the remote viewing but also my time in the in the remote viewing unit.
Alan Steinfeld
The end result I think is a better life and better world for humanity, but the process of getting there from 2020 to 2040 is not going to be easy on anybody.
Lyn Buchanan
Open your eyes to what’s going on and uh become self-self-sufficient and self-reliant. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
So what’s the best thing we can do? Open our eyes to what’s going on…
Lyn Buchanan
I mean.
Alan Steinfeld
That is the key. Yeah.
Lyn Buchanan
I have heard so many people say, I can’t find a job because nobody will hire me. Hey, start your own business and hire yourself, you know. I had an uncle one time who got down and nobody would hire him because of his health. So he started going and picking up old refrigerators that people were throwing away and old you know, machinery that people were throwing away. Taking them to people who repair them. He would charge the person for picking him up, charge the person he delivered it to, and he was making money. He couldn’t find a job, so he hired himself. You know.
Alan Steinfeld
Right. Remote viewing seems to be coming into our minds from the same place creativity comes from. Right? It’s the unknown. It’s the…
Lyn Buchanan
Yeah, mm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
It’s the um you know, when I sit down to write I don’t know what’s going to come to me, but it comes. Something comes from somewhere. And and and um how connected is that to what you know, you’re calling remote viewing?
Lyn Buchanan
Very much so. Yeah. There have been uh the brain studies, seeing what parts of the brain light up. And uh they appear to have found that um the psychic who correctly predicts the future, the same part of the brain lights up as in the normal person when they’re remembering things. So we don’t so much predict the future as remember it.
Alan Steinfeld
Part of what I like to do with this program New Realities is help people awaken that that part of their brain that helps them put to connect the dots, you know? And and and and I think creative creative action is part of that. So um…
Lyn Buchanan
I worked my way through college. Uh, one of the ways I got money working for myself, I would take a picture of somebody’s portrait, make a negative out of it, print that out, tape it to a window and put a piece of paper over it. Every place that was light I would color it in to match the dark areas with a pencil. When I finished, I had a hand-drawn portrait of that person. I’d take it back and sell it to him. A hand-drawn pencil portrait. And it paid from college.
Alan Steinfeld
That’s great. Yeah, that is great. Wow. Wow. Where where are you from originally? Where’d you grow up?
Lyn Buchanan
Uh, my dad worked for the railroad. I grew up all across the south.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh. For who did he work for, you said?
Lyn Buchanan
The railroad.
Alan Steinfeld
Oh, the railroad, so you kept moving. Oh. And and you never were into this uh this psychic phenomenon until you met Stubblebine, you knew you had something, or…
Lyn Buchanan
No, it it began for me around age 12.
Alan Steinfeld
Well thank you for doing the work of um activating people to who they really are. I mean this is…
Lyn Buchanan
If I can, yeah. Mm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah. Well I’ve been talking to Lyn Buchanan, the teacher, you’ve been doing this for what 30 40 years now.
Lyn Buchanan
Oh I’m getting old. Yeah.
Alan Steinfeld
A great remote viewer, a great teacher of remote viewing, I recommend his work and it will really show you another part of yourself that that’s always been there. I mean that’s the great thing about it. It’s it’s…
Lyn Buchanan
It’s there, you just have to learn to listen. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Alan Steinfeld
This is Alan Steinfeld for New Realities. Thank you for watching today.
