America's Psychic Soldier Program: The First Earth Battalion
Discover how a Vietnam hero's "hippie field manual" accidentally revolutionized US military Special Forces training through psychic warfare concepts.
Short Summary
- The US Army launched Project Jedi in 1979 to create "warrior monks" using unconventional, psychic-themed techniques.
- Lieutenant Colonel Jim Shannon's First Earth Battalion manual prescribed practices like daily hugging, herbal supplements, and mind control exercises.
- Although the CIA shuttered Project Stargate in 1995 due to a lack of proven psychic results, its core concepts were absorbed into modern Special Forces curricula.
- These absorbed techniques now include controlled breathing, mindfulness, and heightened sensory awareness, directly improving soldier performance today.
This briefing outlines the true story of the US Army's decades-long experiment in psychic warfare, tracing the philosophy from the unique combat record of Jim Shannon to its hidden legacy in contemporary military operations.

The only way to break through walls is to loudly proclaim “Oh Yeah!” Having the Kool Aid helps too! 😆
Ive always gotten a kick out of the fact that The Men Who Stare at Goats is even funnier because its real lol
I've never met a lizzid that admitted to being a lizzid.
The best part about these revealing videos it makes you think what other crazy things have our military tried to do since then.
My dad used to stare at and hypnotise chickens when he was a kid, my grandad was not amused! 😂😂😂
"jungle sensitivity" - all humans used to have this type of enhanced intuition that was similar to being psychic... being DIALED-IN to one's environment was an inherent survival mechanism..... it reminds me willem defoe's character ("elias") in PLATOON.
The guy in charge of US military intelligence at the height of the Cold War repeatedly ran headfirst into walls because he thought he could pass through them. Let that sink in.
If someone gave me coordinates to my own house I wouldn't even know it.
The trick to spoon bending is to realize there is no spoon at all.
Ever been sitting in traffic or at a restaurant, and you instinctively turn your gaze beyond your peripheral to match eyes with someone staring at you? Ever had someone do the same thing to you? We are connected to, and exist within, a far more complex universe than we could possibly imagine.
