The declassified story of the U.S. Army’s elite mind science training program

• Reveals the once—classified story of the most advanced biocybernautic training in the history of the U.S. Special Forces

• Shares the “Jedi Warrior Training Program” blending Aikido warrior wisdom and psychospiritual skills for mastery and self—transcendence

• Teaches skills to develop your inner “special forces,” awaken courageous presence, and respond wisely to complex challenges

Imagine training twenty—five elite soldiers whose actions could start or stop the next world war. What would you teach them? The authors once faced this profound question in creating the U.S. Army’s Jedi Warrior Training Program.

This book details this secret program, described by West Point leaders as "the most exquisite orchestration of human technology we have ever seen." The comprehensive Jedi training encompassed intensive meditation, mindfulness, neurofeedback and cyberphysiology, energy healing, Aikido, and mission simulations. Emerging at the pinnacle of the psychic—ops era of research into extraordinary human abilities, the program was founded on the Army’s vision of Evolutionary Tactics: A Manual for the First Earth Battalion. George Leonard and Michael Murphy, cofounders of Esalen—epicenter of the human potential movement—called it "the most intensive leadership and human development training program in modern times."

Designed for elite soldiers, the practices in this training are valuable for everyone aiming to heighten focus, deploy ethical discernment, and cultivate responsive awareness and "kindfulness." Learn how to befriend your inner enemies, avoid self—sabotage and ambush by distractions, and respond skillfully to challenges with deeper courage and compassion. With these teachings, readers can awaken the strength to transform the battlefield of daily life into a zone of peace and navigate these uncertain times with grace, wisdom, and courage.
