He is one of five Star Gate military remote viewing program viewers trained by Hal Puthoff and Ingo Swann, the creators of remote viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Bill spent over three and a half years as a remote viewer with the remote viewing unit at Fort George G. Meade. For 18 months of that time he lead the unit as its commander. During 1985 to 1986 he facilitated the complex and difficult transfer of the Star Gate program from the Army Intelligence and Security Command to the Defense Intelligence Agency. He has been involved with remote viewing since the beginning of 1984, with hundreds of operational remote viewing sessions to his credit. Bill also taught controlled remote viewing (CRV) privately for several years while stationed in Europe and also since his return to the United States. Since 2002, he has served as an adjunct faculty member and instructor in remote viewing training for Remote Viewing Instructional Services, when his official duties permitted.<\/p>\n<p>He has been the engaging and entertaining master of ceremonies for several of the annual Remote Viewing Conferences (sponsored by the International Remote Viewing Association). His 2010 Remote Viewing Conference presentation on the fundamentals of monitoring remote viewing sessions is a classic work in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Bill has a bachelors degree in history from the State University of New York and a masters degree in international relations from the University of Southern California. He currently resides in Wisconsin, where he helps his adult children in their restaurant business and fills his primary role as proud grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8123\" src=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/stahler.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHN STAHLER<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Associate Trainer, CRV<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having been involved with remote viewing for 20 years, John has studied CRV with Paul H. Smith, Lyn Buchanan, Ed Dames, David Morehouse, and Psi Tech. Since 2007, he has had multiple roles at RVIS, Inc., including assistant instructor, student mentor, operational remote viewer, and project manager.<\/p>\n<p>Working with the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA), he served as secretary, vice president, president, and board member.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Paul H. Smith, John co-designed and was a co-investigator in the IRVA-sponsored CRV-REG Study. The goal was to see if Random Event Generators (REGs) would react by having their random data outputs go nonrandom in reaction to accurate remote viewing.<\/p>\n<p>To improve his understanding of CRV and share his thoughts with the community, John published a trilogy of CRV Hints and Tips articles initially published in Aperture and now available through the Center Lane Project (CLP) website. These articles reflect knowledge gained through conversations and feedback from Ingo Swann\u2019s students, Paul H. Smith, Bill Ray, Tom McNear, and Tom Burgen, as well as discussions with Ingo himself.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Ingo Swann, Robert M. Knight, and Nick Cook, John co-produced The Incredible Mr. Swann, a short biographical film on the life of Ingo Swann. After Ingo\u2019s passing, he co-produced A Life Gone Wild, an adaptation of the earlier film, with Robert M. Knight, Maryanne Bilham-Knight, and Nick Cook. The film won the award for Best Biopic at the 2017 Philip K. Dick Film Festival held in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>John, who previously served as the head of a San Diego-based company that designs and manufactures electronics focusing on digital video processing, has been awarded numerous patents. His inventions have flown as experimental components in NASA\u2019s Space Shuttle Program, and Sony, Philips, and Mitsubishi sold his products under their brand names. He has a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Business Administration, supplemented by electrical engineering, computer science, and aviation coursework.<\/p>\n<p>He is an aviation enthusiast with over 2,400 hours of flight time. As a jet-rated pilot, John has received training and flown in military training jets from both the Soviet and NATO eras, in addition to operating US commercial jet and turbine aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, John is the vice president and a board member of the non-profit Center Lane Project, a controlled remote viewing knowledge-sharing and practitioner network. Additionally, he occupies his time by engaging in pro-bono, non-profit website design. John has previously developed websites for IRVA, the Hawaii Remote Viewers\u2019 Guild (HRVG), the CRV-REG project, and the Rhine Research Center. He most recently collaborated with CLP President Jana Rogge on the design of the Center Lane Project website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8132\" src=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red-300x279.jpg\" alt=\"Remote viewing assistant instructor Dr. Ellen Huffman-Zechman, MD\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red-768x714.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red-600x558.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240205_091101_phtsh_crp_red.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><strong>DR.
