Hello Oz, is the US Military training wizards or mages to serve as protection for certain units? I read this online but I can’t tell if it’s fiction.
I’m probably going to give a bit more information than you asked for in answering your question.
The US government has been interested in the occult ( supernatural, mystical, or magical powers, not satanism) for decades. They’ve searched the globe for people with mystical powers.
The US government intelligence agencies have been in a mystical/supernatural race with other governments. For example the government's research in remote viewing through their programs such as; SCANATE, Stargate, Project Center Lane, Grill flame, Sunstreak, etc.
Three tactics have been used:-
CRV - Co-ordinated remote viewing ‘Say what you Saw’ at specific geographic co-ordinates
WRV - Written remote viewing Channeling and automatic writing introduced in 1988
These lead to the use of Hemi-sync technology to assist with these occult methods. Hemi-Sync is an “audio-guidance” technology created by Hemi-Sync founder Robert Monroe, that uses sound (binaural beats) to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain. (Monroe Institute)
To answer your question, the government is looking for individuals with heightened psychic/astral projection/mystic abilities not for their spiritual beliefs.
It’s the continued ‘psychic warfare’ plans. The governments are searching for individuals who can access the Akashic Records. The Akashic Records are believed to be the repository of every thought, word, and deed of every living being, good, bad, and awful, in all times; past, present, future.
