Speaker Bio
Lyn grew up in a family that moved frequently due to his father’s work on the railroad. This upbringing exposed him to many cultures, personal paradigms, and a wide range of people, leading to a development that was both polycultural and multilingual.
After high school, he joined the military and became a computer specialist in the emerging field of computer-directed guided missile systems. He then had a 12-year break in service, during which he served as a Methodist minister while earning two Master’s degrees—one in linguistics and the other in psychology. Upon re-entering active military service, Lyn aimed to become a chaplain; however, due to his linguistic abilities, he was instead utilized as a Russian, German, and Mongolian linguist for military intelligence. An incident that was classified at the time, occurring just eight years before his retirement, led to his involvement in the U.S. military’s “Controlled Remote Viewing” unit, where he served as a remote viewer, database manager, property book officer, and ultimately, as a trainer for incoming personnel.
After retirement, Lyn worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency for several years before forming his own company, Problems > Solutions > Innovations. This organization now trains and employs Controlled Remote Viewers for police work, space and technical research and development, business, economic, medical, and personal applications. He currently resides in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he trains military personnel in Controlled Remote Viewing for the public online.
Lyn is the author of two books. One, The Seventh Sense, discusses Controlled Remote Viewing and its military applications. The other, Gravity Can Be Your Friend – (It Can Also Get You Killed), is a science-based fictional book that examines and predicts police work in space. Lyn was also portrayed by George Clooney as the character “Lyn Cassidy” in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, a comedic take on the U.S. military’s remote viewing unit.
