The Psi Soci­ety exists to inves­ti­gate any pur­port­edly psy­chic phe­nom­e­non, para­psy­cho­log­i­cal abil­i­ties or events. This includes but is not lim­ited to: psy­choki­ne­sis, telepa­thy, clair­voy­ance, extrasen­sory per­cep­tion (ESP) and so on.

The term Remote View­ing was intro­duced by Amer­i­can physi­cists Rus­sel Targ and Harold Put­off in 1974. Targ and Put­off, based at the Stan­ford Research Insti­tute (SRI), car­ried out gov­ern­ment funded research into the abil­ity of indi­vid­u­als to gather infor­ma­tion from remote loca­tions out­side of their phys­i­cal perception.

Sim­i­lar research was car­ried out forty years pre­vi­ously by best-selling Amer­i­can author Upton Sin­clair (whose novel, The Jun­gle, brought atten­tion from Pres­i­dent Roo­sevelt and led to the pass­ing of two Acts). Upton Sinclair’s 2nd wife, Marie Craig, achieved aston­ish­ingly accu­rate hits recre­at­ing pic­tures unseen by her and sealed in envelopes (many drawn 100s of miles away). Their inves­ti­ga­tions were writ­ten up in the book Men­tal Radio.

More recent research has explored the effect of groups of peo­ple focus­ing on a sin­gle tar­get (Remote View­ing by Com­mit­tee: RV Using a Mulit­ple Agent / Mul­ti­ple Per­cip­i­ent Design. Jour­nal of Para­psy­chol­ogy, Vol 63 2003.)

In our inves­ti­ga­tion we will be look­ing at Remote View­ing by com­mit­tee and the effect of hyp­no­tism on Remote Viewing.

Loca­tion: Treadwell’s Book­shop, 34 Tavi­s­tock Street, Covent Gar­den, Lon­don WC2E 7PB

Time: 26th April 2008, from 10am — 4.30pm

Details

To take part in this inves­ti­ga­tion you MUST send an email request for an invi­ta­tion. Invi­ta­tions are allo­cated on a first come, first served basis. The email address is given on page 3.

The day will begin with a short intro­duc­tory lec­ture on Remote View­ing (10.30am-11am) fol­lowed by a brief­ing on the inves­ti­ga­tion to follow.

Par­tic­i­pants will then take part in a series of Remote View­ing exper­i­ments test­ing their abil­ity to draw objects hid­den from sight as well as attempt­ing to draw a scene viewed by another par­tic­i­pant at another loca­tion. Scales of accu­racy will be used to eval­u­ate the draw­ings of the view­ers. The final exper­i­ment will involve a vol­un­teer attempt­ing to remote view a tar­get while in a state of hyp­no­sis. The hyp­no­tism will be con­ducted by a trained professional.

The results of the inves­ti­ga­tion will be posted on the Psi web­site.

Here are some details of the experiments:

Exper­i­ments

# 1. Enve­lope Test
5 draw­ings, sealed in envelopes, will be passed among the par­tic­i­pants who will then attempt to ‘see’ these images and recre­ate them on paper provided.

.# 2. Box Test
An object sealed in a box will be pre­sented to the par­tic­i­pants who will attempt to ‘see’ inside. In this test we are inter­ested in not only draw­ings of the object but in its per­ceived age, dimen­sions, his­tory, etc.

# 3. Remote Loca­tion Test
An observer at a remote loca­tion will view a scene of their choice. Par­tic­i­pants will be asked to ‘see’ what our observer sees and to draw their visions on paper provided.

# 4. Book Test
A page ran­domly selected from a book will be cho­sen by an observer. He or she will read a para­graph on that page and par­tic­i­pants will make notes on what they can ‘see’. Can the par­tic­i­pants pick up on what is being read?

# 5. Hyp­no­tism Test
A vol­un­teer will be hyp­no­tised. (1) We will then test to see if the com­mit­tee (group of par­tic­i­pants) are more suc­cess­ful at remote view­ing. (2) We will then test to see if the hyp­no­tised par­tic­i­pant is more suc­cess­ful at view­ing what an observer sees at a remote location.

Con­tri­bu­tion

All par­tic­i­pants are asked to pay £10.00 to help us with our costs on this inves­ti­ga­tion.
