Reincarnation, often relegated to the realm of mysticism, may have a surprising scientific foundation. According to a declassified U.S. Army intelligence study, the energy-based mechanics of the universe offer evidence that consciousness transcends death.
The universe operates on energy—from the cosmic dance of galaxies to the fleeting thoughts of the human mind. According to the laws of physics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it simply changes forms. This principle opens a fascinating question: could consciousness, as a form of energy, be immortal?
A little-known U.S. Army study from 2003, recently declassified, delves into this enigma, offering provocative insights into the potential scientific basis of reincarnation.

In the early 1980s, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell led a 29-page analysis known as “The Gateway Process.” This study sought to explain the transformative experiences of Army personnel at the Monroe Institute, a research center in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The institute developed the “Gateway Experience,” a groundbreaking training program aimed at enhancing personal focus, strength, and coherence. Its ultimate goal was to expand consciousness beyond physical and temporal constraints, potentially enabling extraordinary phenomena like psychic spycraft.
McDonnell’s analysis explored familiar techniques such as hypnosis and transcendental meditation, as well as more unconventional methods for altering consciousness. These methods laid the groundwork for extraordinary claims about the nature of reality and the possibility of reincarnation.
Cases of Reincarnation
One of the study’s most compelling revelations came from researchers at the Monroe Institute. Their findings suggested that when consciousness exits the physical realm—what they referred to as “the Absolute”—it retains memories accumulated over lifetimes.
“When consciousness returns to the Absolute, it brings with it all the memories it has accumulated through experience in reality,” McDonnell wrote. This perspective posits that memories and experiences transfer from one life to the next, offering a scientific explanation for reincarnation.
Renewed interest in this study was recently fueled by Chicago-based comedian Sara Holcomb, who shared the findings on social media. “We’re pretty sure reincarnation is real,” Holcomb posted. “Consciousness is energy, and it exists outside of our understanding of reality. And energy … never dies.”
Further supporting this idea, the University of Virginia Medical School’s Division of Perceptual Studies has documented over 2,500 cases of children under five who claim to remember past lives. These cases offer strikingly specific details that often correspond to real people and events.
“Why the kids?” Holcomb asked. “It seems they’re the ones that most easily remember their past lives.”
The Dual Purpose of the Gateway Study
While McDonnell’s study ventured into metaphysical territory, it also had strategic implications. At the time, the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) was exploring paranormal abilities for military intelligence, particularly “psychic spycraft.”
Major General Albert Stubblebine III, an advocate of psychic warfare, oversaw these efforts. One notable participant was Joe McMoneagle, known as Remote Viewer No. 1. Using remote viewing, McMoneagle spied on Russian military installations, achieving a success rate of around 28%. Though imperfect, his work contributed to broader intelligence efforts.
McDonnell’s analysis acknowledged the potential of the “Gateway Experience” for intelligence purposes. “There is a sound and rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway to be plausible,” he wrote. However, he cautioned that the process’s unpredictability required further research.
The Mystery of the Missing Page
Adding to the intrigue, one section of McDonnell’s report—page 25—is conspicuously missing. This omission has fueled speculation about whether it contains groundbreaking insights intentionally withheld. A petition on Change.org even calls for the CIA to release the missing page. The CIA claims it never had the document, intensifying public curiosity.
The Gateway study has reignited discussions about consciousness, reincarnation, and their potential applications in science and espionage. Could our minds truly transcend time and space, carrying the essence of who we are from one life to the next?
