1. A Soldier's Destiny Interrupted by a Bullet and Visions

What happened in the hours that ensued has remained a blur, but the result began a metamorphosis that has redefined my life.

Life as a soldier. David Morehouse grew up immersed in army life, following his father's footsteps and embracing a patriotic destiny. Despite a brief period of youthful rebellion and academic pursuits, a powerful moment overlooking Brigham Young University solidified his calling to military service, leading him to excel in ROTC and become a highly decorated infantry officer. His early career was marked by rapid advancement and challenging assignments, including commanding an airborne company in Panama and serving with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.

The bullet's impact. While training Jordanian Rangers in the desolate Baten el Ghoul valley in 1987, a rogue machine gun round struck Morehouse's helmet, lodging deep within it. Though physically unharmed beyond a severe headache, this near-death experience triggered profound and disturbing visions. These included encounters with strange beings, messages about pursuing peace, and terrifying nightmares that felt intensely real, marking the beginning of an unexplained transformation that defied conventional understanding.

Unexplained phenomena. The visions continued and intensified, leaving Morehouse confused and frightened. He experienced out-of-body sensations, saw figures in the darkness, and felt a growing sense of disconnect from normal reality. This marked a dramatic departure from the predictable, tangible world of infantry soldiering he had always known, setting the stage for a search for answers about the nature of these experiences and his changing perception of the world.

2. Recruitment into a Secret World of Psychic Espionage

I was interviewed and examined by a group of military intelligence folks, assigned to a bizarre unit called the Secret Army of Northern Virginia, or SANV.

Seeking answers and help. Troubled by his persistent visions and nightmares, Morehouse confided in Dr. Innis Barker, a psychologist within his new, unconventional military intelligence unit (code-named Sacred Cape). Barker recognized potential in Morehouse's experiences, viewing them not as symptoms of mental illness but as indicators of a unique ability. He introduced Morehouse to the concept of remote viewing and the existence of a highly classified program dedicated to it.

Introduction to Sun Streak. Barker shared classified files detailing the activities of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) remote viewing unit, Sun Streak. These documents described individuals who could psychically travel to distant locations, view events in the past and future, and gather intelligence. Morehouse was astonished by the accounts, recognizing parallels with his own involuntary experiences, and began to see this program as a potential explanation and means of control for his unsettling visions.

The selection process. Morehouse underwent psychological assessments and an interview with Sun Streak's director, Bill Levy. Levy confirmed the unit trained individuals to "transcend time and space" for intelligence collection, warning that the process would permanently change participants. Despite the risks and the unconventional nature of the work, Morehouse, desperate for understanding and control over his abilities, expressed strong interest and was accepted into the program, marking a definitive departure from his traditional military career path.

3. Rigorous Training Unlocks Extraordinary Remote Viewing Abilities

What we do here is train individuals to transcend time and space, to view persons, places, and things remote in time and space, and to gather intelligence information on them.

Immersion in a new reality. Morehouse began intensive training at Sun Streak under the guidance of experienced remote viewers like Mel Riley and Kathleen Miller. The training involved lectures on the history and theory of psychic phenomena, as well as practical exercises in controlled environments designed to minimize external "noise." He learned techniques like Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) and Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) to access information psychically.

Developing the "eyes". Through dedicated practice, Morehouse rapidly developed his remote viewing skills. He learned to enter altered states of consciousness, interpret ideograms (autonomic responses to targets), and navigate the "ether" – the non-physical space where remote viewing occurs. His ability to bilocate (project his consciousness to a target) quickly and accurately impressed his trainers, demonstrating a natural aptitude, possibly enhanced by his bullet trauma.

Experiencing the unseen. Training targets ranged from mundane objects to historically significant locations like Mount Fuji and the Dachau concentration camp. These sessions were often emotionally and physically taxing, as Morehouse learned to perceive not just visual information but also the emotional and energetic residue of places and events. He experienced the "spirit" of objects and locations, further blurring the lines between the physical and non-physical worlds and solidifying his belief in the reality of remote viewing.

4. Operational Missions Reveal Hidden Truths and Ethical Conflicts

We were government-paid and government-trained psychics, spying on the enemies of the United States; why get riled up about the method used?

Applying the gift. Upon becoming an operational viewer, Morehouse participated in real-world intelligence missions. These included searching for hostages like Marine Lieutenant Colonel Higgins in Lebanon, investigating the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and locating drug shipments and kingpins during the War on Drugs. The remote viewers provided unique, often chillingly accurate, information that supplemented conventional intelligence methods.

Witnessing tragedy firsthand. Missions like the Lockerbie investigation were particularly impactful, as viewers psychically relived the final moments of victims and identified details about the explosive devices and perpetrators. Morehouse and others felt the suffering of those they viewed, highlighting the emotional toll of the work and the ethical complexities of using such abilities for espionage, especially when the intelligence gathered did not always lead to action.

Uncovering a potential cover-up. A mission following Desert Storm to assess potential chemical or biological agent use in Kuwait led Morehouse and Mel Riley to a disturbing discovery. By comparing their session results (a violation of protocol), they found they had both targeted the same area and identified strange canisters near burning oil wells, despite being given different tasking instructions. They suspected the government was using remote viewing to confirm the use of unconventional weapons by Iraq while simultaneously orchestrating a cover-up to avoid public and legal repercussions, creating a profound moral dilemma.

5. The Psychic Gift Takes a Devastating Toll on Personal Life

When Levy said this unit would change your life forever, he was right. It’s already started to.

Strain on family. The demands of the classified work, the inability to share his experiences, and the increasing intensity of his visions and nightmares severely strained Morehouse's marriage and relationship with his children. His wife, Debbie, struggled to cope with his changing personality, his unpredictable altered states, and the frightening nature of his nocturnal experiences. The children became scared of their father, seeing him as an alien figure haunted by unseen forces.

Isolation and deterioration. As his connection to the ether deepened, Morehouse became more reclusive, finding it difficult to interact with the mundane world and people who couldn't understand his reality. He stopped attending church, distanced himself from old friends, and eventually separated from his family, living alone and struggling to maintain his emotional and spiritual stability. The lack of consistent support from the unit after he left exacerbated his condition.

Loss of control. Without the structure and monitoring of the Sun Streak program, Morehouse's involuntary shifts between reality and the ether became more frequent and unpredictable. He experienced terrifying hallucinations while awake, struggled with sleep, and felt a constant sense of being on the edge of losing his mind. This period marked a severe personal crisis, leaving him feeling lost, isolated, and desperate for help that conventional medicine seemed unable to provide.

6. Government Forces Target the Author to Suppress the Secret

You cannot go through with the court-martial. It’s a setup.

Decision to go public. Witnessing the potential government cover-up regarding the Gulf War chemical agents and disillusioned by the perceived misuse and potential demise of the remote viewing program, Morehouse and Mel Riley decided to reveal the existence and capabilities of Sun Streak to the public. They believed this powerful tool should be used for the benefit of mankind, not hidden away or weaponized.

Initial harassment. Their efforts to find a way to tell their story, including contacting journalists and literary agents, quickly drew unwanted attention. Morehouse and his family experienced escalating harassment, including anonymous phone calls, suspicious packages containing tapes of his conversations, and a break-in at his home where his office was ransacked, clearly intended to intimidate and frighten them into silence.

Fabricated charges and court-martial. The government's efforts intensified, culminating in a series of seemingly fabricated charges against Morehouse, including adultery, larceny, and conduct unbecoming an officer. These charges, while seemingly minor individually, were strategically designed to discredit him and force him into a court-martial. This legal battle became the primary tool used by the intelligence community to silence him and prevent the disclosure of the remote viewing program.

7. The Fall from Grace Leads to a Painful Rebirth and New Purpose

You are not yet what you are supposed to be; you are only walking the path.

Hospitalization and betrayal. The immense stress of the court-martial proceedings and the ongoing harassment led to a severe breakdown, resulting in Morehouse's hospitalization at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Here, he found temporary respite and understanding from Dr. Damioli, who recognized the unique nature of his condition. However, the military's pressure continued, forcing his transfer back to Fort Bragg and the looming court-martial, despite his medical needs.

The court-martial ordeal. Morehouse endured the humiliating process of the Article 32b hearing and the subsequent court-martial preparations. Despite the lack of substantive evidence for the charges and the unwavering support of his family and friends, the military system seemed determined to punish him. He realized the charges were a pretext, and the real threat was the potential for the government to introduce charges of disclosing classified information during the trial, which he could not defend against without revealing the very secret they sought to protect.

Resignation and a new path. Faced with the certainty of conviction and imprisonment if he proceeded to trial, Morehouse made the agonizing decision to resign his commission "for the good of the service." This resulted in an "other than honorable" discharge, stripping him of his military career, pension, and benefits, effectively erasing his sixteen years of service. Though devastating, this forced separation from the military freed him from the constraints and threats of the intelligence community, allowing him to fully embrace his unique abilities and the angel's message, dedicating his life to understanding and sharing the gift of remote viewing for the benefit of mankind, finding a painful rebirth outside the world he had lost.
