Pegasus Chant

Through time-clouds I fly to days gone by.

Physical limits are all left behind.

The future and past, all in my grasp,

For Pegasus shows me the key’s in my mind.

Horse of poetry, Light,

Inspirational height,

Your companion I’ll be,

New lands shall I see.

— D. J. Conway, Animal Magick (1995)

Marty Rosenblatt: A Life Devoted to Exploring Consciousness

Marty Rosenblatt died May 26, 2026, surrounded by his family and, in the spirit that characterized his life, looking forward to the next chapter.

A visionary leader, educator, and physicist, Marty devoted nearly three decades to advancing the study and practical application of remote viewing and precognition. In 1998, he founded Physics-Intuition-Applications, the forerunner of the Applied Precognition Project (APP). Under his leadership, APP grew into the world’s largest and most active organization devoted to Associative Remote Viewing (ARV), a technique that allows remote viewers to make predictions by selecting from potential targets associated with unrelated possible outcomes. In September 2025, APP became the International Remote Viewing Association’s newest and largest program while retaining its own identity and activities.

Paul H. Smith, one of the military remote viewers involved in the Stargate program, recalled his early work with Marty: “Marty and I had many discussions, both in person and by phone, at least since 2001, when I was the viewer for what may have been his very first ARV experiment. And it was successful. Marty graciously let me use all the sessions I produced during that project (somewhere in the neighborhood of 40) as examples in my own comprehensive ARV course that I have taught numerous times since.”

Marty earned an M.S. in Physics from UCLA and held leadership positions in advanced scientific and defense-related research. He brought that analytical background to his investigation of consciousness, along with an openness to possibilities often overlooked by conventional science.

Over the years, Marty formed lasting relationships with pioneers in the field, including Stephan Schwartz, the father of ARV and one of IRVA’s founders. “I always respected the work he put in to help people understand the nonlocal aspect of their consciousness,” Schwartz said. “There’s a lot of wrong information, and he tried to put out good information. I respect that, and I’ll miss him. I know that he now understands nonlocal consciousness even better.”

Through APP conferences, educational programs, prediction groups, and more than 400 webinars—many now archived on IRVA.org—Marty shared his knowledge with people around the world. Patient and generous, he welcomed “newbies” and experienced researchers alike and connected easily with people across differences in worldview, religion, and politics.

Instructor Elly Molina remembered “with deep fondness, gratitude, and a smile for the joy and spirit” Marty brought to their work together during a summer Psi-Kids/Adult online psychic development course.

Marty also tirelessly led ARV prediction groups for sports and stocks and encouraged others to form groups of their own. Dream-group leader Nancy Smith recalled that Marty’s “contagious interest and study of consciousness and the all-there-is positively affected everyone who came in contact with him.” Dave Silverstein, another APP group leader, said, “Marty, was one of the most influential people in my life.”

Igor Grgic, also a group manager, remembered the collaborative community Marty created after Grgic joined APP in 2014. “I will never forget those first several years in APP, having fun with ARV on an almost daily basis. Thank you, Marty, for creating the APP community where I could meet dozens of like-minded people to collaborate and work together. As you said, ‘Consciousness is FUNdamental.’”

The Rev. Stephen G. Wright of England’s Sacred Space Foundation, a frequent presenter at APP conferences, especially valued Marty’s willingness to pursue difficult questions. “He had the grip of a terrier with an idea and would not let it go until he’d achieved clarity,” Wright said. “At the same time, he was willing to rest in not knowing. I experienced him as a loving and kind man with a cracking sense of humor.”

Wright also expressed confidence that their paths would cross again: “Whoever we think we are or will become will collide again, and I look forward to his big grin and giggle accompanying our shared exclamation at such a reunion: ‘Oh, that’s what it was all about!’”

Longtime APP member Marco Maldoni was among the many people who described Marty’s profound influence on their lives. As a physicist, Maldoni was intrigued that another physicist had become involved in such an unconventional field. After completing his first successful ARV trial through APP, he said, “I was hooked.”

That experience, Maldoni recalled, opened the way to “a whole new set of ‘impossible’ experiences, above and beyond remote viewing,” enriching his life and deepening his appreciation that consciousness is “way more than an intellectual concept.”

Others expressed their affection more simply. Thomas McNear, another Stargate pioneer, said: “He IS an inspiring, kind, loving soul and a blessing to all who knew him.” Veteran viewer Bill Isakson offered his own succinct tribute: “To me, you are one of the greats of this life. Ace of clubs.”

Marty lived in Woodland Hills, California, with his beloved wife, Jane. His legacy endures in the organization he helped build, the research he advanced, and the community he brought together. Although his friends and colleagues mourn his loss, the curiosity, generosity, and sense of possibility he embodied will continue to inspire those who carry this work forward.
