Remote Viewing (RV) is often glamorized as a mysterious and enlightened way to perceive people, objects, and events from a distance, beyond the physical senses. From CIA experimentation during the Cold War to its continued use in cults and private networks, RV has worn the mask of a harmless psychic tool. But beneath that mask lies something far more invasive and dangerous.
At its core, Remote Viewing—especially in the form used by covert groups and occult practitioners—is not just about observation. It becomes a disturbing method of spiritual intrusion. It invades the privacy of the soul and dissolves the boundaries of individual identity. Over time, the viewer and the target can become so intertwined that they begin to share thoughts, emotions, and even physical symptoms. The result is a condition I identify as https://www.qfac.ca/blog/the-dangers-of-remote-viewing-people-a-spiritual-and-psychological-warninga harmful, degenerative state that institutions sometimes disguise as “anomalous health incidents.”
Remote Viewing: From Espionage to Identity Hijacking
Originally developed under classified government programs such as the Stargate Project, Remote Viewing was designed to collect information through extrasensory perception. Though publicly defunded, the practice evolved—taken up by underground organizations, spiritual cults, and intelligence factions.
In today’s applications, Remote Viewing no longer stops at passive observation. Instead, many practitioners engage in active identity mimicry, entering semi-conscious or hypnagogic states with the goal of becoming the target. It is no longer about gathering impressions; it is about inhabiting another person’s consciousness.
The Mechanics of Consciousness Hijacking
As a Remote Viewer sustains focus on a target, a psychic tether begins to form. At first, the experience may involve fragmented flashes—brief impressions of feelings, sensations, or environments. But as the tether strengthens, the viewer begins to fully mirror the target:
- Seeing through the target’s eyes
- Hearing through their ears
- Feeling their pain, pleasure, and fatigue
- Thinking their thoughts in real time
This process is not consensual. The target is often unaware and defenseless. Their psyche has no natural mechanism to block this invasion. What begins as “observation” soon morphs into full immersion—resulting in loss of personal boundaries for both parties.
Physical and Psychological Repercussions
In communities where Remote Viewing is practiced regularly—especially in cults or covert networks—viewers begin to suffer from a wide range of distressing symptoms:
1. Involuntary Movements (Mirror Flinching)
Once tethered, a viewer may begin to flinch, twitch, or react physically when the target moves—particularly during emotionally intense moments. These micro-movements are not conscious. The viewer is essentially echoing the target’s physical responses.
2. Sleep Disruption and Respiratory Distress
Entangled viewers often adopt the breathing patterns of their targets. This can lead to disrupted sleep, gasping, panic attacks, or even episodes of sleep apnea. In some cases, viewers have required CPAP machines despite having no history of respiratory illness.
3. Hormonal Disruption and Gender Confusion
When long-term RV occurs between people of different sexes, biological effects can emerge. For example, a female viewer tethered to a male target might experience missed menstrual cycles, hair growth in male-pattern areas, and sensations mimicking male arousal. The endocrine system begins to mirror that of the target, resulting in identity confusion and physiological instability.
4. Appetite and Saliva Gland Dysfunction
As the viewer’s nervous system becomes entangled, their body stops responding to its own needs. Hunger signals fade. Salivary glands malfunction. These basic systems are hijacked by the target’s biological rhythm, leaving the viewer disoriented and weakened.
Introducing Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder (DSAD)
These experiences cannot be easily categorized using modern psychological frameworks. They are not delusions or hallucinations. DSAD is a new term I propose to describe the breakdown that occurs when the spiritual and psychological boundaries between two individuals are breached through Remote Viewing.
Symptoms include:
- Identity Dissolution: Viewers lose clarity about who they are. They take on the beliefs, values, and desires of their target.
- Thought Echoing: Their thoughts are no longer original, but foreign. It is not empathy—it is mind-sharing without permission.
- Disembodiment: Viewers begin to feel as though they are living in someone else’s body. Dysphoria and confusion become common.
- Phantom Pain and Emotional Contagion: When a target experiences trauma or injury, the viewer feels it. I personally experienced this when I got a tattoo of the Blessed Virgin Mary—Remote Viewers linked to me felt the same pain in real time.
Remote Viewing in Cults and Espionage
Remote Viewing has become a tool of abuse in both spiritual and intelligence communities for https://www.qfac.ca/blog/the-dangers-of-remote-viewing-people-a-spiritual-and-psychological-warning.
Cults:
In cultic settings, the goal is often to steal another person’s energy, thoughts, or spiritual gifts. Initiates are trained to mimic the lives of specific targets—often those who are spiritually strong or socially influential. Eventually, the viewer becomes addicted to the target’s mind and attempts to sabotage their life from within.
Espionage:
In intelligence circles, RV is used for mind control. Viewers monitor high-value targets, insert thoughts, or nudge decisions. Over time, the viewers themselves are psychologically broken—abandoned by their handlers once they suffer DSAD-like symptoms.
The Dream State: A Vulnerable Gateway
The dream world, especially during REM sleep, is a prime target for psychic intrusion. Remote Viewers use this window to insert dreams, influence emotions, or create subconscious triggers. These experiences feel more vivid than imagination—and thus more believable. But they’re artificial.
Eventually, the viewer becomes so attached to the act of viewing that they lose the ability to dream for themselves. They become hollow vessels for psychic invasion.
Why No One Talks About It
Mainstream psychology fails to address this phenomenon. Symptoms are misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, or psychosomatic illness. Meanwhile, most churches have abandoned the vocabulary needed to understand spiritual affliction, leaving people with no language to describe what’s happening to them.
How to Protect Yourself
If you believe you’ve been affected by Remote Viewing—either as a viewer or a target—here are protective steps I recommend:
1. Daily Prayer and Sacramental Life
Frequent Confession and the Holy Eucharist offer strong spiritual armor. Daily prayer, especially the Rosary, protects the soul from intrusion.
2. Sever the Psychic Tether
Use spiritual renunciation prayers—ideally guided by a priest—to break any lingering connection with a viewer or target.
3. Stop Remote Viewing
No matter how noble your intention, RV without consent is spiritual violence. Withdraw from all practices that invade another person’s mind or body.
Final Thoughts
Remote Viewing is not a harmless experiment or a shortcut to spiritual power. When used without restraint, it becomes a method of identity theft, consciousness hijacking, and soul damage. Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder is real—and it is affecting far more people than we realize.
We are not meant to inhabit the minds of others. We are meant to guard our own soul, honor our own body, and respect the sacred autonomy of every person. In defending these boundaries, we defend the image of God within us.
