The Hidden Perils of Remote Viewing: Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder (DSAD)

Remote Viewing (RV) has long been romanticized as a harmless, even enlightened, means of perceiving information beyond the ordinary senses. From Cold War-era CIA experiments to the shadowy practices of spiritual cults, this technique has been cloaked in mystery, ambition, and power. Yet behind its alluring mystique lies a troubling truth—one that is too often ignored in mainstream discussions.

At its most intrusive, Remote Viewing becomes more than passive perception. It transforms into a parasitic act of penetrating another person’s conscious space—compromising their free will, physical autonomy, and spiritual sovereignty. Over time, both the viewer and the subject can become so deeply entangled that their identities, psyches, and even physiological systems begin to merge in disturbing and harmful ways.

This paper explores the hidden dangers of Remote Viewing, introducing the term Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder (DSAD)—a term meant to describe what institutions like the CIA often refer to obliquely as “anomalous health incidents.”

The Evolution of Remote Viewing

Originally defined as the ability to perceive information about a distant or unseen target through extrasensory means, Remote Viewing gained popularity during the 1970s, particularly through programs like the U.S. government's Stargate Project. Although these initiatives were publicly dismissed, the method found new life in occult circles and private intelligence operations. Here, RV has evolved beyond observation into a tool for identity mimicry, dream infiltration, and psychological domination.

In modern contexts on https://www.qfac.ca/blog/the-dangers-of-remote-viewing-people-a-spiritual-and-psychological-warning especially within cultic or intelligence-driven environments—practitioners don’t just observe a target; they inhabit them. Through hypnagogic states and sustained focus, Remote Viewers aim to "become" their subject. This is no longer passive reception; this is an aggressive fusion of consciousness.

Consciousness Hijacking: Mechanics and Manifestations

Prolonged RV sessions can result in what might be described as a form of quantum entanglement between the viewer and the target. Initially subtle impressions—such as fleeting thoughts, physical sensations, or emotional reactions—can intensify into a complete neural mimicry. Symptoms include:

• Seeing through the target’s eyes
• Hearing with their ears
• Experiencing physical sensations and thoughts as if they were one’s own

This merging process creates dangerous psychological and physiological feedback loops. The viewer becomes uninvitedly tethered to the target, who has no defense against this spiritual intrusion.

Physical Consequences of Remote Viewing

These are not abstract dangers—they manifest physically. In high-intensity cultic or espionage settings, viewers often suffer from severe and persistent somatic symptoms:

1. Mirror Flinching and Involuntary Movement
   Once a strong tether is formed, any physical action from the target (flinching, spasms, emotional responses) may be mirrored involuntarily by the viewer—even outside of an RV session.
2. Respiratory Disruption and Sleep Apnea
   Viewers begin breathing in rhythm with the target. This synchronized pattern often leads to disrupted sleep, gasping episodes, or panic upon waking. Several have needed medical interventions like CPAP machines despite lacking prior conditions.
3. Hormonal Imbalance and Gender Crossover Symptoms
   When viewers of one sex remotely connect with a target of another, hormonal shifts have been observed. For instance, female viewers have reported missed periods, unexpected hair growth, and sensations mimicking male arousal—an eerie result of their endocrine systems aligning with their targets.
4. Appetite Loss and Salivary Dysfunction
   As the viewer’s body adopts the target’s biological rhythms, even basic functions like eating and salivation can be impaired, indicating a deeper nervous system entanglement.

Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder (DSAD)

DSAD encapsulates the collection of symptoms not readily classifiable by conventional medicine. It is not rooted in internal psychosis but in externalized spiritual infection. Core symptoms include:

• Identity Dissolution – Viewers adopt the mannerisms, judgments, and even speech of their targets.
• Neurological Echoes – Thoughts are no longer perceived as original; instead, they echo the target’s internal monologue.
• Disembodiment – A sense of alienation from one's own body, resulting in confusion and dysphoria.
• Phantom Pain and Referred Trauma – Emotional and physical pain experienced by the target can manifest within the viewer.

One particularly haunting example involved my own experience receiving a tattoo of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary on my head—Remote Viewers entangled with me at the time reported experiencing the same pain and spiritual disruption for https://www.qfac.ca/blog/the-dangers-of-remote-viewing-people-a-spiritual-and-psychological-warning.

Cultic Abuse, Espionage, and Spiritual Mimicry

Both cults and intelligence agencies exploit RV for control. In cult settings, followers are taught to mimic chosen targets—often individuals who are spiritually gifted or socially influential. This is not about learning; it is about infiltrating.

The goal?

• To absorb the target’s essence
• To distort their thoughts from within
• To undermine or destroy their sense of self

In intelligence work, the applications are more clinical but no less disturbing. Targets are monitored, manipulated, and—if necessary—compromised. Long-term viewers often suffer DSAD symptoms and are discarded like used assets.

Sleep and Dream Hijacking

The REM stage of sleep is particularly vulnerable. Viewers use this window to embed false memories, behavioral triggers, or emotional distortions. It is a form of spiritual hacking—so vivid that it can surpass waking reality. While some mistake this for spiritual ascension, it is more accurately a euphoric dependency—one that erodes individual agency and leads to eventual soul fatigue, a state where the viewer loses the ability to dream independently.

Why No One is Talking About It

Mainstream psychology classifies these symptoms as schizophrenia or dissociative disorders. Simultaneously, many religious institutions have lost the vocabulary and theological grounding to address such metaphysical afflictions. This leaves victims—both viewers and targets—unrecognized, untreated, and deeply vulnerable.

Protection and Recovery

While this article is not a substitute for spiritual or medical care, the following steps offer preliminary guidance:

1. Sacramental Defense
   Frequent prayer, Eucharist, Confession, and devotion to the Rosary offer powerful spiritual protection.
2. Severing the Tether
   Spiritual renunciation prayers—preferably led by a priest—can dissolve psychic entanglements.
3. Discontinuation of RV
   Even if motivated by curiosity or noble intent, Remote Viewing without consent constitutes a violation of human dignity. Refraining is an ethical imperative.

Conclusion

Remote Viewing, far from being a harmless or enlightened practice, can devolve into a weapon of psychological and spiritual warfare. Dissociative Spiritual Affliction Disorder is not a fringe phenomenon—it is an underrecognized epidemic operating in the margins of espionage, mysticism, and cultic manipulation.

When we trespass into another’s consciousness, we risk losing our own. Defending our mental and spiritual integrity is not only an act of self-preservation—it is an affirmation of the sacred nature of human individuality.
