Senior Fellow, BMH
Stephan A. Schwartz is a Senior Fellow in the Center for Brain, Mind and Healing at the Samueli Institute. He has spent a lifetime of work focused on exceptional human performance, particularly involving aspects of consciousness. In 1973, Mr. Schwartz began his experimental work with his first book, The Secret Vaults of Time, a survey of all the research done using the non-local aspect of the mind to locate and reconstruct archaeological sites.

Considered one of the founders of Remote Viewing, Mr. Schwartz became Senior Fellow of the Philosophical Research Society in 1976, where he carried out the Deep Quest submarine study, one of the milestone experiments in parapsychology, establishing that non-local performance was not an electromagnetic phenomenon.

Mr. Schwartz founded the Mobius Society where he served as Research Director and Board Chairman for 17 years. While at Mobius, he carried out many experimental studies focusing on three main research areas: remote viewing, therapeutic intention, and non-local awareness and its relationship to genius, religious epiphanies and personality types. From this experimental research he has slowly developed a model that organizes various kinds of observed non-local functioning as an informational process.

As a means to change the materialist reductionism that defined science, Mr. Schwartz co-founded the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness (SAC), which is now a unit in the American Anthropological Association, the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM), and the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA). He also established the peer-reviewed journals Phoenix and Subtle Energies.

After resigning from the Mobius Society, Mr. Schwartz pursued his experimental and theoretical work as a Research Associate of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of The Laboratories for Fundamental Research, as Director of Research at the Rhine Research Center, as a BIAL Fellow, and as a Scholar-in-Residence at Atlantic University. He is currently a member of the board of the Parapsychological Association, as well as its spokesperson, and a member of the board of IRVA.

Additionally, he is the columnist for the peer-reviewed journal Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing, and editor of the daily web publication The Schwartzreport. He is the author of four books, has published more than 50 papers in peer-reviewed publications and technical reports, and is listed in Who’s Who in America.
