CIA's 'Superhuman' Strength Secret: 5-Step Method Hidden in Agency Files

A declassified 1977 manual, originating from the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences in Virginia, details a five-step method developed by the CIA to significantly boost human physical strength and speed. The document, released by the CIA in 2003, was part of training materials examined by the U.S. Army's Intelligence and Security Command during the Cold War.

The technique, described on page 14, aims to "charge" the body with enhanced power before demanding physical activities like lifting heavy objects or sprinting. Participants are instructed to close their eyes, take a deep breath, and focus their minds on the intended physical action. While inhaling, they are to visualize a "powerful red energy" filling their bodies. Upon exhaling, they should open their eyes and immediately perform the action, which the manual claims leads to better coordination, faster reflexes, and increased performance.

This method was integrated into secret CIA programs, funded roughly between 1972 and 1995, that explored human consciousness for potential intelligence and special operations applications. The Monroe Institute, still operational, developed the "Gateway Program" based on its founder Robert Monroe's Hemi-Sync audio technology. This technology uses specific sound frequencies to synchronize the brain's hemispheres, inducing deep relaxation and heightened concentration.

The manual, however, issued a stern warning: these techniques were not intended for the general public. Individuals who had not completed the initial Gateway Program session were cautioned against applying them, as improper use could result in "undesirable and uncontrollable effects." The document also touches upon connections to "psychic spies" and the Stargate Project, suggesting broader research into extrasensory perception and its potential military applications.

You will be able to immediately perform the physical act you have imagined, with much greater strength, much greater speed, and full coordination of your body.
