An Artist Remote Views His Art

The Art of Remote Viewing Art

by Dennis Arbour

A little over three years ago, I began my training to become a Technical Remote Viewer with the intuition that my choice was correct. I fell into the daily practice, fired by the desire to search this technology thoroughly and understand its content.

From the beginning, I found nothing short of personal astonishment in the fact that it truly worked. I found myself in the position of being a "kid in a candy shop", and I have yet, even today, to shake off my wonder and amazement of TRV.

In my first year of training, I began my own Optimum Trajectory after I was familiar enough with the TRV protocols that are the base and foundation for a BIGGER view: Advanced tools and refined skill levels. Of course, at first we as viewers have doubts towards data that comes out of sessions, for in the beginning we are walking in a new terrain, and especially when that terrain is the area of mind. But we learn to put our doubts aside and belay our analysis in the actual process of TRV.

Barring mention of other things that I perceived, I was a bit amazed–and also upset–at my own Optimum Trajectory. Being an artist all my life, and having it come up in a session upon such a serious endeavor, it came across as my own wishful thinking that my own Optimum Money generating activity….would be art. The very thing, however, that made this DIFFERENT was that it pointed in an area that I had always avoided in art.

As all artists generally do, we strain towards our ability to paint a "thing like a thing, an apple like an apple", attempting to "up" our skills to capture what the eye sees and reproduce it on canvas as it "looked". MY Optimum Trajectory was suggesting that I was about to enter the world of something that represented or symbolized a thing….abstracted…and not anything I was even remotely familiar with as a painting in art. It was abstraction, symbolism, and impressions of a "thing" that seemed to be suggested. This was a territory that I was totally unfamiliar with, but suggested that A NEW FORM OF ART WOULD OCCUR.

Curious, hesitant, intrigued and even affronted by such a suggestion, I also had to accept that the sessions were introducing the idea that TRV was also involved; although at first it seemed that there were TWO paths of my Optimum Trajectory: One for art and one for TRV. Oddly, they seemed to walk hand in hand, and also "of themselves".

I spent a continuous effort on pursuing this mystery, and not long afterward a curious thing happened: my staged drawings in sessions abruptly CHANGED in how they were drawn and took on a new, loose, and flowing style. This occurred in approximately January 2003, six months into my training.

In the search for this elusive and baffling art form waiting to be "found", I began to explore by honing my art skills and simplifying many brush strokes into few and creating a group of works called "speed paintings", as they were done in three to four hours of natural subjects.

By March, 2003, I had enough of a realization to understand that the very session drawings that I was doing resembled the "abstraction, symbolism, and impression" that I had been looking for…and were ripe forms for "ART". On March 21, 2003, I attempted the first–a painting called "Iraqi War", that is now the foundation painting for TRV ART. Clearly, this piece showed that simple lines and colors could depict a theme and be extremely active!

I continued many sessions aimed at this phenomena and my Optimum Trajectory in the struggle to "realize" the true form that is now TRV ART, as true optimum trajectories of one’s life should be done on a continued basis to clearly stay on the trail. I found that this new "art form" was truly something that historically had never been done before, based on sessions, and then transferred to canvas in symbolic, representational gestalt symbols, archetypal representations, which are the "abstract" symbols of real things viewed through TRV.

In short, they are abstracted forms as symbols of REAL things in existence. I suddenly found myself, a realist painter, creating a new type of art based on TRV. As the movements in ART before us–the classicalists, the impressionists, the abstract subjective painters–now comes a type of painting that is based on "objectively" observing something at a distance and painting it in abstracted form. Until now, there has been no such thing in art as "abstract objective".

The Optimum Trajectories showed the creation, development, actions, transition and progress of this new art form to its current state in a website….and beyond. What HAS occurred by following this is the discovery and introduction of an entirely new form of art, AND is a living, positive, "poster child" proof of TRV and Optimum Trajectories. I say "living" because it is continuing even as I write and will unfold further.

If a "holy-wise man-prophet-seer" had suddenly burst into the room and told one of this future, it would seem unreal, as a dream, out of fantasy and a storybook tale. As TRVers, we have gained that very insight to see that these things are built in increments following an Optimum Trajectory.

Do you think I would have ever believed almost three years ago that I would discover a new art form and we would produce a website introducing it? All based on such a powerful mind tool as TRV?

   I welcome you all to the extraordinary journey of TRV ART and the new website! New artworks are in production and will be added on a regular basis.

   To view this incredible new art form based on TRV protocols, go to TRV ART (http://www.trvart.com). This is an example of what can come from following your Optimum Trajectory, trusting your data that this is truly your optimum path in life, and following that path to fruition.

I’ve pulled up a whole section on Astral Projection FAQs on Paranormality.com, from the book by Richard Craze - A Beginners Guide to Astral Projection by Hodder & Stoughton. Without further ado….

In Brief - What is Astral Projection?

Astral Projection is a conscious attempt to experience being outside of one’s physical human body, while being both alive and preferably awake at the time. It is an attempt to have a controlled OOBE or (out of body experience).

It is not linked in any way to ritualistic magic and does not rely on any particular religious or belief system.

There are techniques for achieving an OOBE. As yet I haven’t heard of it being at all dangerous. However attempting to leave one’s physical body under the influence of medication or hallucinogenic drugs is seriously not recommended!

What happens when people Astral Project?

They have what is commonly referred to as an OOBE or out of body experience where a ‘part’ of them, be it the soul or consciousness, rises up from their physical body and either travels on the physical plane or on the astral plane.

What is the astral plane?

A topic of debate: The astral plane however can be likened to the Akasha, namely a place where all the thoughts, memories, fantasies and dreams of everyone in the world exist. The astral plane is thought to be a fantastic place to travel in, with many different travellers, entities and levels to it. It is said to operate at a much higher frequency than the physical plane we inhabit.

It is thought that the etheric body, spirit or mind can travel on the astral plane, which is said to appear more solid than the physical plane we all inhabit, this is because in order to travel it, the etheric body has to be existing and operating at the same higher frequency. According to some the astral plane is far more mutable than the physical and can be changed and altered simply by the power of thought.

Can people learn to Astral Project at will?

Yes there are techniques that can be learned but what degree of success is achieved depends solely upon the individual.

Why would anyone want to have an Astral Projection?

· Some people find it reassuring. If it is possible for your consciousness to exist outside of your body, then it is also possible that your consciousness may be able to survive physical death.

· Some people like to use the technique for spiritual reasons, maybe wanting to be at one with the universe or for some religious reason.

· Some people like to try it, simply to prove that it can’t be done – a negative approach.

· Some people like to use it for their own ends. They use it as a tool for clairvoyance to leave their bodies and go and seek out information or even spy. The CIA set up experiments to see if people could leave their bodies to glean information from the enemy. The CIA did it because they were convinced that the Russians were doing it. There term for this kind of Astral Projection is called Remote Viewing. After mixed success and possibly a lack of funding the project was eventually abandoned. We don’t know how the Russians fared.

· Some people want to try it just because they can try it and they just want to see what it feels like.

Who first discovered Astral Projection?

· The ancient Egyptians were possibly one of the first cultures to record beliefs about the soul. Hieroglyphics in tombs recorded hundreds of prayers that were to be said over the body of the deceased to guide the spirit on its way. They believed that the soul ba was housed in a spirit body the Ka an exact replica of the physical body. This on death gave way to the sahu the true spirit body that would house the ba forever.

In life the Ka and sahu were one of the same but the ka slowly diminished until only the sahu housed the ba. However the Egyptians also believed that the Ka could leave the body during life and drew pictures of people sleeping with their Kas or souls floating above them. This is very similar to the modern day descriptions of NDE’s (Near Death Experiences). Here the soul leaves the body at the point of death only to return again if the person is resuscitated.

· The Tibetans believe in the bardo body, which can leave the physical body while still alive and can also pass through physical matter because it is made of psychic material. The bardo body can be directed wherever by will.

· Ancient Greeks believed in a ‘double body’, which housed the soul. Plato believed that the soul was freed on death but could also leave the body during life and when it did it perceived the physical world as dimly lit.

· “Dean Sheils, in research published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research in 1978 ‘A Cross-cultural Study of Beliefs in Out of Body Experiences’, compared the believe systems of over 60 different cultures and found that fifty four of them had some concept of astral projection or astral travel and that half of them had also believed that it is possible for this to happen consciously and while alive.

Almost half claimed that certain members of their cultures could do this at will. Only three cultures seemed to have no concepts or beliefs about this subject. Those that did seemed to accept it as a normal and natural part of human existence.” Source: (A Beginners Guide to Astral Projection by Richard Craze - Hodder & Stoughton 1999 - ISBN: 0340 737557

What does modern science make of it?

A man called Raymond A. Moody PhD. M.D. is often thought as the father of NDEs and has written a very popular book ‘Life after Life’ on the subject. According to Richard Craze in his book ‘A Beginners Guide to Astral Projection’ over the last 45 years there has been a more scientific approach taken.

The first major study was done in 1951 was by someone called Muldoon and Carrington. They collected and collated over 100 cases of OOBEs. They found that their research did indicate a ‘double’ that could live consciously outside the physical body and that could also survive the death of the individual. Richard Crookhall has also written many books on astral projection, and he states a number of recurrent themes.

What are these recurrent themes?

· Some form of double.

· A white light or illumination.

· Ability to travel at will.

· Inability to move or use physical objects.

· Feelings of tranquility and detachment.

· A ‘clear’ consciousness of what is happening.

· A sense of realness.

How is an OOBE most likely to be brought about?

· By a NDE due to illness or exhaustion.

· By an NDE due to accident.

· Deliberately by people trying to leave their physical bodies.

· By the application of drugs such as anesthetics.

· By trauma or shock.

What do the sceptics think?

· It is purely a mental state explained by complex chemical reaction.

· An autoscopic hallucination.

· Cerebral anoxia or lack of oxygen to the brain.

How common is the phenomena?

· Possibly between 5 and 10% of the population, which suggests around 6 million in the U.K or as much as 30 million in the United States.

Have there been reports of people seeing OOBE people while they were ‘out’?

· Yes, which increases the likelihood that OOBE’s are not purely ‘tricks of the mind’.

How many types of OOBE are there?

· Two – voluntary and involuntary, one involves a conscious effort to leave ones body where the ‘double’ is rarely or only faintly seen; and involuntary, say through an accident or trauma where the ‘double’ is usually seen.

What is a typical OOBE?

· A typical OOBE only usually happens once in a lifetime.

· Most often occurs lying down either resting or just before sleeping.

· There is a feeling of floating or soaring, usually upwards.

· It is mostly adult women who experience the phenomenon although if you are a student you are even more likely to do so.

· A typical case suggests some form of connection to the physical body, possibly by way of a silver cord.

· There are few reported cases of leaving the room, but there is a sense of realness and viewing the normal world.

· Feelings of pleasantness, detachment and calmness often accompany an OOBE.

· The person feels that the experience is real and although they feel the ability to go anywhere they rarely wish to do so.

· No ability or desire to change or move physical objects in their vicinity.

Who has OOBEs?

· Many women and more often than not students probably due to their lifestyle and interests. They are more likely to have heard about OOBEs and possibly more keen to try it.

Are OOBEs simply a form of dreaming?

· Definitely not because the sense of reality experienced is far too strong.

· Scientific results show that people undergoing OOBEs are not dreaming and they are not experiencing REM. Briefly, alpha waves decrease indicating a calm state and beta waves increase indicating that the volunteer is awake. There is an increase in heart and respiration rates suggesting the presence of some stimulus or activity.

Are OOBEs like NDEs?

· An NDE or Near Death Experience is really just a different form of OOBE that is brought about when a person is at the point of death or just ‘died’. It is more akin to passing over to the other side, seeing one’s life flash before them and traveling down a dark or light tunnel towards the light, God or whatever you wish to call it.

What is a typical NDE?

· People who are seriously ill hear themselves being declared dead, upon which a series of events are triggered, such as moving quickly down a tunnel and hearing unfamiliar noises.

· They find themselves at the end of the tunnel and can usually see their own bodies being worked on by medical staff.

· They sense that they have a form of ‘body’ somewhat different to the one that they left behind and also become aware of deceased friends and relatives coming to help them cross to the other side.

· They report an entity or being of light that plays their life review and every second that they have lived, but not judgmentally.

· The beings of light are always described as full of love.

· They are often told to return to their bodies and that their time on earth is not yet over. Often there is a reluctance to return.

· On their return they find words difficult to express the magnitude of the experience that they felt.

· There views on life after death, tend to be radically altered and fear of death tends to diminish.

How many types of NDE are there?

· There are two – PNDEs (perceived NDEs, where the person has a suspicion that they are about to die) and UNDEs (unexpected NDEs, where the person is quite shocked to find themselves in a near death situation).

Is the experience the same for both?

· No PNDEs tend to be associated with an accompanied journey with deceased loved ones to another world with another ‘body’ replacing the one left behind. UNDEs are associated more with near fatal falls, electric shocks or drowning to elicit a response. From here the person usually has a flashback of their life accompanied by feelings of happiness or peace. There are not usually reports of a ‘body’ instead feelings of just being that the person becomes pure thought or mind. There is often a sudden return to their physical body.

Is Astral Projection a popular topic on your website?

Yes – my monitoring software suggests that it is very popular.

Do you have any good reference sources?

Yes – please visit my website and view astral projection alternatively see below.

More from the Indiana Jones, writers, and CIA ….

Remote Viewing Novel Links Star Wars Actor, Indiana Jones Writer

“We’re in an era where people are looking for ways to compete without dropping bombs,” Williams noted. “And this is one of the avenues people are examining. So I, at least, found it a very intriguing kind of subject matter, especially for television.”

The end of the government research programs also offered a bonus to writers. “After the C.I.A.’s top secret program ended, these people [the remote viewers] were finally free to talk,” MacGregor said. “Some of them set up Web sites, and they were very accessible and open to talking about what they had been involved with.”

Williams and MacGregor decided to focus their initial efforts on a book that would combine the realities of remote viewing with the eclectic, action-oriented character Williams wanted to play. The resulting novel, PSI/Net, debuted at DragonCon on July 1.

“PSI/Net takes up where the C.I.A.’s remote viewing program ended in November 1995,” MacGregor told reporters at the book’s DragonCon launch. “The idea is, even though the government supposedly is no longer involved in psychic espionage, the psychics — most of whom were military officers who retired when the program ended — still have their abilities.”

The book follows the story of one particular retired Air Force major and remote viewer, Trent Calloway. “Trent has an experience in which he sees numbers that related to the numbers used in the remote viewing program,” MacGregor continued. “For him, those numbers translated to the White House, but the White House five days in the future, after a backpack nuclear bomb had exploded in Washington, D.C.”

This gives Trent five days to convince the Secret Service and the F.B.I. that his vision is real, and stop the bombers.

Williams views Trent as a kind of centrifugal force. “He’s the pivotal character around which everything revolves,” Williams said. As an actor, Williams relishes the internal conflicts Trent develops as a result of being both a military man and a remote viewer.

To raise the potential for external conflicts, Williams and MacGregor did take one liberty with their research. “One of the differences between the actual program and the one in the book is that [the fictional remote viewers] were given a drug to enhance their psychic abilities, which allowed us to move up a notch or two in their abilities. As a result the whole group are connected in a psychic nexus, and it’s driving them crazy — especially when they’re split into two groups, and one of the groups becomes involved in the bombing,” MacGregor said.

If you like a mix of fiction and the paranormal in your films, maybe you should consider watching Indiana Jones…Read more from Crescent Blues.

Remote Viewing Novel Links Star Wars Actor, Indiana Jones Writer

Actors, like little kids, often play the game “Who do I want to be?” And like children, they don’t always get their wish.

Billy Dee Williams, Star Wars‘ Lando Calrissian and a major star power in Lady Sings the Blues and Brian’s Song, wanted to be a psychic in an action/adventure movie or television series. But despite the popularity of shows like The X-Files, roles for multi-faceted, male psychics weren’t exactly leaping off Hollywood storyboards.

Williams saw no reason why that should stop him from playing his dream role. An award-winning artist who moves easily from painted pictures to the moving kind, he welcomed the prospect to move into yet another medium. Given enough time, he felt sure he could write the role he wanted. “But I wanted to do it quickly. So I thought it would be a good idea to collaborate with someone,” Williams said.

A literary agent introduced him to Rob MacGregor, 1996 Edgar Award-winning author of Prophecy Rock and numerous Indiana Jones novels. It proved to be, in Williams’ words, “One of those meetings that was meant to happen.”

MacGregor shares Williams’ interest in the paranormal. In addition, MacGregor’s long-term interest in government “remote viewing” research provided direction for the characters and situations Williams developed.

Over a 20-year period from the 1970s to the mid-1990s, the Defense Department and C.I.A. conducted a number of experiments in various psychic phenomena. “The program really developed out of Russian interest in this area,” MacGregor said. “The Russians put millions of dollars into psychic research. What happened in the United States came as a reaction to what the Russians were doing.”

According to Defense Intelligence Agency documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, the Soviets explored everything from telepathy (mind reading) to psychokinesis (moving or altering objects through mind power). U. S. research, however, concentrated on finding a psychic phenomenon that could produce consistent, reproducible results.

Stanford Research Institute (SRI) scientists found that most people could catch mental glimpses of images viewed by a second person, even if that second person was miles away. The scientists called this phenomenon “remote viewing.”

“The scientists would send someone to a particular location at a particular time. Back at the laboratory, the psychic would try to get an impression of where the other person was at that particular time, write about it and sketch it,” MacGregor explained to reporters at DragonCon, the Atlanta-based science fiction and fantasy convention, which attracts over 18,000 fans annually. “After a while, the scientists would just take the coordinates of a particular place, which could be anywhere in the world, and let the psychic work with the coordinates.”

And work they did. By the end of the experiments, researchers shifted from using geographic coordinates to using random, six-digit numbers assigned to different locations. To their amazement, researchers found that once a psychic made a connection between even a random number and a given location, other psychics made the same connection. It didn’t matter if the psychics knew about the results of previous experiments or not. “Once those numbers were assigned — however it worked, I don’t know — they stuck,” MacGregor said.

Unlike earlier scientific forays into the paranormal, the Defense and C.I.A. experiments always produced results, some of them quite spectacular. “One of the experiences in the C.I.A. program involved a remote viewer who saw a huge crane at an atomic plant at a secret Soviet site. He described it, drew it, and then this crane was verified by satellite pictures,” MacGregor said.

But, skeptics in Congress and the C.I.A. asked, why do you need psychics if you can see the same Soviet site via satellite? “The difference is that satellites can picture a building,” MacGregor said. “The psychics can see what’s inside that building, which the satellite cameras cannot.”

Still not good enough for the Department of Defense and C.I.A, which ended their remote viewing programs in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively. The C.I.A., in particular, wanted results that could compete with traditional technologies — consistent, top-quality results the experimental techniques of remote viewing could not provide.

But a writer or producer need not worry about statistical norms and experimental consistencies. Story concepts need only plausibility and potential. Remote viewing provided both.

Part 2 - THE CIA GETS HIP TO A NEW INTELLIGENCE TOOL

First published 8th August 2007

Less than a year after Ingo Swann “remote viewed” weather conditions in Tucson, Arizona as part of experiments conducted at the New York City offices of the American Society of Psychical Research, the CIA would be giving an independent research organization, formerly a part of Stanford University until divested to its nuclear research projects, an “exploratory contract” of $49,909 to do classified research into the viability and potential of remote viewing.

The person at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) chosen to oversee this initial eight month project (called Biofield Measurements Program) was Hal Puthoff, at that time working on laser research at SRI. Joining him later would be a colleague (from laser research and also with an interest in parapsychology), Russell Targ.

Puthoff in a 1996 paper recounts the history of “CIA-Initiated Remote Viewing at Stanford Research Institute”.

That paper could be written because in July 1995 the CIA declassified papers and reports generated by SRI’s research and use of remote viewing for the benefit of the CIA.

(see http://www.militaryremoteviewers.com/cia_remote_viewing_sri.htm)

Another detailed account, in the form of an online book was written by Ingo Swann (who along with a man named Pat Price would be the remote viewing participants in this initial remote viewing project on the CIA’s behalf).

(see http://www.biomindsuperpowers.com and the link there)

And, perhaps most valuable of all due to the author’s access to not only his own notes of involvement in an unit of the government’s remote viewing operations since 1983 but also his interviews with most of the key figures (including Puthoff and Swann), is the book “Reading the Enemy’s Mind: America’s Psychic Espionage Program” by Paul H. Smith.

Famed Pulitzer Prize journalist Jack Anderson wrote the forward to this book and summarizes his own history of examining and reporting on this long secret program.

(People can see Smith’s website, http://www.rviewer.com, for more information.)

In March 1972, Swann saw some intriguing correspondence, a paper on “quantum biology” by Hal Puthoff, at Cleve Backster’s home in New York. (During this time Swann was still doing experiments at the American Society of Psychical Research.)

Swann soon wrote to Puthoff, sharing his experiences with the early experiments that attempted a PK influence over organic matter. Puthoff responded not longer after by phone and the stage was being set for Swann to visit SRI early in June 1972.

Puthoff prepared a surprise test for Swann on this first visit, involving getting access to a shielded, quark detecting magnetometer at Stanford University’s Physics Department. On his visit, it appeared Swann was able to disturb the operation of the magnetometer (while located on the floor above the vault).

He further went on to impress Puthoff by drawing details of the the complex interior of the magnetometer. (No such schematics had been published prior to this.)

All this so impressed Puthoff that he wrote a paper about it and circulated it among scientific colleagues. What in particular impressed Puthoff were Swann’s detailed drawings of the magnetometer’s make-up. And, this is what also what impressed the two CIA representatives who showed up shortly after Puthoff sending his report out. They also had a copy of the report.

(After this visit, Puthoff did write to Dr. Christopher “Kit” Green about the experiment. Green was then at the Life Science Desk, part of the CIA’s Office of Strategic Intelligence. Puthoff’s contact with him begin their many years of association.)

No one writing the history of remote viewing seems to know how these two CIA visitors came across Puthoff’s paper, but they were aware that Puthoff had worked as a Naval Intelligence Officer and then later as a civilian employee with the National Security Agency (NSA).

And, Puthoff reports in his account of this meeting that these representatives from the CIA expressed concern about Soviet parapsychological research and utilization of psychic skills as an intelligence tool. (Puthoff references a later-1978-paper by the Defense Intelligence Agency, identified as DST-18105-202-78 and entitled “Paraphysics R and D–Warsaw Pact U.)

The visitors explained that they had been looking for a research laboratory that was unconnected formally with an academic institution and that could serve as a quiet, low-profile place for classified research and investigation. SRI seemed to fit the bill. So, as a result, they gave SRI a small amount of money to fly Ingo Swann out to Stanford and have him participate in some tests to observe and evaluate his remote viewing skills.

This testing and evaluation happened in August 1972. CIA scientists came out to participating in testing and evaluating Swann’s potential enhanced perceptual abilities. Basically, Swann was asked to remote view the contents of sealed containers.

In three cases, the CIA visitors placed items in three sealed boxes (contents picked and known only by them). Swann did well altogether, though he was very puzzled by what he saw in one of the boxes prepared by the CIA visitors. He thought he saw a “brown leaf” floating up by the underside of the lid. In fact, the CIA guys had placed a large brown moth in the box.

These trials were sufficient to move the CIA to fund on October 1, 1972 (the first day of the government’s fiscal year for 1973) a contract with SRI in the amount of $49,909 for exploratory research into parapsychology. This contract would fund the research for eight months (which began in January 1973).

Part 3 - ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS AN ADDRESS

10th May 2008
The focus for the first few months of SRI’s initial 8 month long study for the CIA was on PK effects, but with minimal success (and a lack of consistency) in the results, SRI experimentation refocused on the potentials of RV for use by their current client.

It was not clear at first how remote viewing, in the way they had been experimenting with it, would be of use to any intelligence agencies. The most typical way they had been practicing it was to send “outbounder” teams to a site which the viewer would then focus on (via the presence of the team).

The group at SRI was mulling this over with only a short time left on the initial CIA contract (May ‘73 to Aug. ‘73, with the contract having begun in January). A visitor to SRI, Jacques Vallee, suggested a simple solution: “All you really need is an address.”

Swann in turn suggested the use of geographic coordinates, something Puthoff and Targ thought didn’t make sense due to the fact that coordinates were artificial and abstract representations.

But, preliminary experiements (sic) were satisfactory enough and the CIA itself offered coordinates to a wooded area in the hills of West Virginia. So far as the CIA person offering the coordinates knew, there was only a vacation cabin at the site.

Ingo Swann and another man named Pat Price were tasked with remote viewing this location. (Price had recently heard about the project and, feeling he had a psychic aptitude, volunteered for experiments.)

Both Swann and Price described a partially underground military like facility not far from the cabin! (Confirmed in followup visits and consultations.)

Not only were the descriptions of the site (again, unknown even to the provider of the coordinates) accurate, but the CIA’s project manager for the SRI contract, Dr. Ken Kress, noted: “Pat Price, who had no military or intelligence background, provided a list of project titles associated with current and past activities including one of extreme sensitivity.

Also, the code-name of the site was provided. Other information concerning the physical layout of the site was accurate.” [pages 72-73, Ken Kress, "Parapsychology in Intelligence: A Personal Review and Conclusions", STUDIES IN INTELLIGENCE, Washington, DC, CIA, Winter 1977.]

Other double-blind coordinates were tasked for the remote viewers before the CIA contract ended in August 1973 and since the results were good overall, CIA support for this research at SRI continued until 1975.

Ingo Swann would take a year long break from this study, but in addition to Pat Price, others would become involved: Hella Hammid (professional photographer), Duane Elgin (SRI employee), Gary Langford and Keith Harary.

Pat Price’s participation in RV efforts changed directions when he began working with the CIA directly, in the months just prior to his unexpected death in Las Vegas in July 1975. Not long after Price died (an event about which some people have questions), the CIA dropped out of the RV business. Being under fire in Congressional hearings over past questionable practices, they were reluctant to hold onto what might be controversial.

Also very important: there was strong disagreement within the CIA over using remote viewing. Many there felt it was neither real nor potentially useful.

Paul Smith reports in his book Reading The Enemies’ Mind (”chronicling America’s psychic espionage program”) that “even though a few in-house CIA employees had shown some success with remote viewing, and Price himself was now working exclusively for the agency and coming up with results corroborated by other intelligence information the CIA had already obtained, this ongoing debate contributed to the termination of CIA involvement after Price’s sudden death in July 1975″ [p.76, paperback edition]

A year before he died, Pat Price was still working for SRI, though, and that’s when he was given the task of remote viewing a research and development facility in the old Soviet Union (near Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan). After receiving the coordinates (on July 19, 1974), Price reported his impressions of that location from the several remote viewing sessions he did over the following two weeks.

Some of his descriptions were confirmed by satellite imagery: a large gantry crane that rode on rails and that passed over a 2-3 story building and the presence of gas cylinders. But not confirmed for another few years were 60 foot diameter steel spheres that Price described being assembled.

The story of this particular remote viewing impressed many in the intelligence community, but by July 1975 many others there felt that the fact Price produced a lot of bad data and otherwise descriptions that could be neither evaluated or confirmed made RV useless as an intelligence tool.

• For example, this was the conclusion of the officers at the CIA’s Office of Research and Development when the CIA’s involvement with RV ended in 1975.

The SRI team spent its last stretch of time under CIA contract partially examining the nature of RV phenomena (and seeing what factors enhanced successful use). But, they more importantly focused on remote viewing’s potential uses.

• For example, a series of double blind experiments, with 12 remote viewers targeting 7 pieces of instruments and machinery, yielded some very detailed and accurate sketches.

At this stage, Paul Smith reports in history that some key conclusions and observations had been made by those involved in the SRI study. He also notes that at this point “it was also just two years into the program, and many lessons about tasking, analysis, and reporting of remote viewing data were yet to be learned.” [p.68, paperback edition].

So far as some of the understandings acquired from the study, Smith summarizes some, like these key points: (1) concrete descriptions more accurate than labeling and analysis; (2) using several remote viewers for a single task improved quality of the final data; (3) anybody could be taught RV; and, RV improves with practice.

---

Some of what’s next:

• Though the CIA ended its involvement with RV in the summer of 1975, later in the year SRI’s research effort would be sustained by funding from the Air Force Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson. This came about through the interest of a civilian employee there, Dale Graff.
• Then, two years later an Army Lt. (”Skip” Atwater) begins forming an Army RV program at the direction of Army Assistant Chief of Staff Intelligence, Maj. Gen. Edmund Thompson.
• The DIA assumes control of the program.
• Early 1980s, the remote viewing procedure is structured and training CRV to government remote viewers begins.
• The Remote Viewing process (as commonly taught).
• Questions, controversies, debates.

“The Synchronized Universe is a well-written and exciting presentation of the latest scientific evidence proving the existence of the paranormal. Swanson’s suggestions about how present physics can be modified to understand and explain some of these strange phenomena may go a long way to healing the ancient split between science and spirituality. The implications of this book are far-reaching.”

–Brad Steiger, author of Mysteries of Space and Time.

A New Scientific Revolution is quietly underway…

A new book, The Synchronized Universe, reveals that the tapestry of modern science is showing a few tatters…There are many things modern science cannot explain, and yet they occur anyway. This includes phenomena in the “hard sciences” as well as in the paranormal. These effects are now being proven in the laboratory, even though they defy present scientific theory. These unfolding mysteries point the way to a new, deeper science, a science which no longer denies spirit and consciousness, but acknowledges and embraces them.

The Mystery Unfolds…A New Frontier Emerges

In the past three decades scientific evidence has accumulated showing that the present scientific paradigm is broken. In the hard sciences:

1. DARK MATTER

…of an unknown form makes up most of the matter of the universe. This matter is not predicted by the standard physics models. The so-called “Theory of Everything” does not predict and does not understand what this substance is.

2. THE LAW OF GRAVITY

…appears to be seriously broken. Experiments by Saxl and Allais found that Foucault pendulums veer off in strange directions during solar eclipses. Interplanetary NASA satellites are showing persistent errors in trajectory. Neither of these is explained or predicted by the standard theory of gravity known as Einstein’s General Relativity.

3. COLD FUSION.

The Cold Fusion phenomenon violates physics as we understand it, and yet it has been duplicated in various forms in over 500 laboratories around the world. Recent studies by the Electric Power Research Institute, a large non-profit research organization funded by the nation’s power companies, found that Cold Fusion works. A recent Navy study also verified the reality of Cold Fusion, and the original MIT study which supposedly disproved Cold Fusion has been found to have doctored its data. Present day physics has no explanation for how it works, but it does work.

4. CHARGE CLUSTERS.

Under certain conditions, billions of electrons can “stick together” in close proximity, despite the law of electromagnetism that like charges repel. Charge clusters are small, one millionth of a meter in diameter, and are composed of tens or hundreds of billions of electrons. They should fly apart at enormous speed, but they do not. This indicates that our laws of electromagnetism are missing something important.

5. COSMOLOGY.

Quasars, which are supposed to be the most distant astronomical objects in the sky, are often found connected to nearby galaxies by jets of gas. This suggests that they may not be as far away as previously thought, and their red shifts are due to some other, more unusual physics which is not yet fully understood.

6. SPEED OF LIGHT

…once thought unbreakable, has been exceeded in several recent experiments. Our notion of what is possible in terms of propagation speed has been changing as a result. Certain phenomena, such as solar disturbances on the sun which take more than eight minutes to be visible on the earth, are registered instantaneously on the acupuncture points of instrumented subjects. Acupuncture points apparently respond to solar events by some other force which travels through space at a much higher speed than light.

This covers just a few of the more glaring anomalies in the “hard sciences.” Evidence has also accumulated in the laboratory that many paranormal effects are real, and can be verified and studied scientifically. Among these are the following:

7. ESP.

Large-scale experiments by the Princeton PEAR Lab as well as other laboratories have proven that ESP is a real, statistically verifiable scientific phenomenon. Thousands of experiments have been conducted with dozens of subjects, which demonstrate that this form of communication is real, and that it does not weaken measurably with distance. This makes it unlike any known physical force.

8. PSYCHOKINESIS, OR MIND OVER MATTER.

The ability to exert psychic force over objects at a distance has also been demonstrated in large-scale experiments. Even over distances of thousands of miles, the behavior of certain machines, called REGs for Random Event Generators, have been altered by the intention, or the psychic force of a distant person. The odds that these effects are real, and not due to chance, is now measured in billions to one. In other words, this phenomenon is real.

9. REMOTE VIEWING.

The American military conducted a secret remote viewing program for almost two decades. It was supported because it worked, and evidence of its success has now become public. The remote viewers have demonstrated that it is possible to view “targets” which are remote in space and time. In many cases details which were unavailable any other way were acquired by the viewers. Rigorous statistical experiments have confirmed that remote viewing has accuracy far above chance, and represents a real phenomenon which defies present science.

10. TIME AND PROPHECY.

One unusual aspect of ESP, Remote Viewing and Psychokinesis is that “time” doesn’t seem to matter. One can exert an influence or acquire information in the past and in the future, almost as easily as in the present. In conventional physics, the order of events is very important, but in the realm of psychic phenomena there seems to be a flexibility to move in time that defies current physics.

11. OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE.

Experiments have been performed which show that, during some out-of-body experiences, the “astral body” or center of consciousness of the individual can be detected at remote locations. When individuals go “out of body” and focus their consciousness at another location, physical disturbances have been measured at that remote location. These include anomalous light, electrical, magnetic and other physical forces which indicate the “astral body” sometimes has physically measurable properties.

12. GHOSTS.

Modern scientific ghost hunters use magnetic, electrical, optical and thermal sensors when they survey supposedly haunted sites. In hundreds of cases, technically trained researchers have found measurable physical anomalies when ghosts are said to be present. Although some people have claimed to see ghosts, and many have reported anomalous cold spots and described a strange chill on their skin, modern ghost hunters have shown that unusual magnetic fields and strong voltages also occur in these same haunted locations. Unusual orbs have been photographed at the same time that magnetic and electrical disturbances are measured. None of these can be explained by conventional science.

These are just a few of the areas in which science is discovering very real, physical and measurable effects which violate present science. The book The Synchronized Universe describes this evidence in non-technical language, with many pictures, illustrations, graphs and references. It also shows how our present science can be expanded to begin to understand these mysteries.

Artist as Healer — Healer as Artist, Sharlene McLearon creates work that images art as a healing force for herself, others and the Earth.

Her paintings are expressive and symbolic.

Most are images that emerged from a healing dimension and in their own profound way, will lead viewers to be healed as well.

Her paintings speak in “unspoken words” and open up the heart and mind of the viewer to limitless possibilities.

There is more than aesthetic talent in Sharlene’s art; there is power — spiritual power.

The Blue Matrix and Body Wisdom

Sharlene has studied art in Canada and abroad– in Paris, Florence and Chautauqua, N.Y. She was a Docent at the National Gallery of Canada in the 80’s. She had solo and group exhibitions in Saudi Arabia, Canada and Germany. The National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington D.C. recognized her artistic accomplishments in 1993 and opened a file for her work in their Archives. Her art work can be found in private and corporate collections in over 35 countries. UNICEF, Geneva, selected her painting “Sunflowers” in 1997 and used that image in cards to raise funds in Europe and Asia. Her art can be viewed at her gallery website.

What is most amazing about Sharlene is that she is also a Registered Nurse, a journalist who interviewed frontline Saudi and Egyptian troops during the Gulf crisis, naval officers on a warship in the Persian Gulf and doctors who escaped the occupation of Kuwait. As well, she had been a television journalist who scripted, filmed and hosted documentaries for Saudi Arabian TV. In her spare time, she wrote poetry that has been published in Saudi Arabia and England.

And this is not all about Sharlene. Safely ensconced in London Ontario since 2000, she has literally re-invented herself as a Certified Reiki Master/Teacher, a Master Instructor of Integrated Energy Therapy and the first Blue Matrix Energetics Instructor in Ontario. And it is this latter capacity that points to the common thread that runs through all her incarnations-a powerful connection to the Universal Energy Source that comes from her innate understanding of the wisdom of the body.

“Blue Matrix Energetics is an energy-based system of healing that involves the laying on of hands to channel powerful, universal life force energy of varying frequencies,” says Sharlene.

Imagine these frequencies as a stairway of frequency dimensions leading to the Zero-Point Field. “We work in the frequency of Ultraviolet Blue for genetic restructuring and physical healing. Then through this stairway of ascending frequency dimensions, we move the client into higher states of consciousness that can be life-changing for him or her. During this process, we can bring about neurological reprogramming of harmful attitudes and remote viewing of the timelines in the client’s own life journey.” The result is a healing and re-balancing of body, mind and emotions which allows the client to come to a deeper understanding of himself or herself.

The treatments themselves are a source of spiritual experience for Sharlene as well.

“During the treatments,” she says,” I have amazing visions of Divine Intelligence working on the client to heal, using technology never seen before. The Blue Matrix moves through the body of the client showing me where there is a problem and I see them working on it to heal the area. Many times I see the body rise to the earth’s grid and get ‘plugged in,’ so to speak, for healing purposes. During the final hand position and at the highest frequency I often experience the presence of the Divine. I feel so privileged to be doing this work.”

How did Sharlene get involved with Blue Matrix? She was introduced to this healing therapy by its founder, Barbra Hudson of British Columbia, at an annual meeting of the Canadian Reiki Association in Toronto.

Sharlene’s sense of humility and respect for Universal Energy is evident in the way she sees herself as a vehicle or channel for the power of the field. However, she insists that we can all be channels. Ultimately, the power is in our hands and she would be more than happy to teach us how to claim that power as our own.

Like her paintings, working with Blue Matrix Energetics allows Sharlene to tap into a spiritual canvas that creates healing in all dimensions.

Mike Jamieson, is a well known researcher and the former MUFON state section director for Napa County in California.

This article is the first of his three-part series on remote viewing from the REALITY uncovered Featured Writer Series.

Part One - A History of Remote Viewing.

Adoption of the term “Remote Viewing”

The development of a process and capacity that would later be called “remote viewing” was essentially due to a sequence of circumstances and events involving a self-described “ordinary” man whose vocation was as an artist and aspiring writer.

Ingo Swann meant ordinary in the sense that he was NOT a psychic (something he has asserted at all stages of his life), but instead he considered himself to be a “consciousness researcher” with an ability to occasionally enter altered states of consciousness.

Swann’s friendship and experimental work with Cleve Backster and others (such as ASPR leader Dr. Gertrude Schmeidler) would lead to him being invited to be a part of experiments that were organized by Dr. Karl Osis, director of research at the American Society for Psychical Research.

Backster was (and still is) a well known polygraphist whose early work in using polygraph equipment to detect plant sensitivity to human thoughts and emotions was chronicled in a popular book, The Secret Life of Plants (1973) by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.

In early 1971, Swann was busy in Backster’s lab sending “psi probes” into gasses contained in small metal containers. Attached electrodes measured whether or not these probes succeeded in exciting the gasses. The results were mixed, so at Backster’s suggestion, Swann moved on to trying to affect organic material (from one celled animals to blood and seminal fluids).

When they began working with blood, it was found that Swann’s “project probes” (psychically) consistently caused a reaction in blood cells. With these types of results, Swann noted: “If you think carefully now, you might realize the ‘psychic threat’ potentials of this particular kind of phenomena. Cleve and his small circle of friends certainly did. We mused these over while eating junk food in the Times Square area.

If anyone knew what was going on in the world regarding things like this, Cleve certainly did because of his extensive network of contacts in law enforcement agencies and within the CIA. ‘Well,’ he suddenly blurted out through a mouth stuffed with frankfurter, ‘you’ve just done something the Soviets have been working on for a long time.’ I didn’t quite make the connection and asked him to explain. ‘The potential of invading someone’s body by mind alone.’” [1]

(There was an increasingly popular book out during this time which pointed to interesting Soviet activities in this arena: Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain (1970) by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder. A growing awareness that the Soviets were using paranormal capacities, apparently even in their intelligence services, probably had an impact on our own intelligence services’ interest in this type of thing.)

In October 1971, Swann was invited to participate in experiments at the American Society of Psychical Research. The experiment was staged in an upstairs room (formerly a bedroom) that was divided into two by a partition and it was designed to see if the subject (i.e. Swann) could “go out of the body” and up about 14 feet to see what objects had been placed in a tray hanging 2 feet from the high ceiling. Swann was always hooked up with electrodes connected to a brainwave recorder.

On the other side of the partition was Janet Lee Mitchell, Dr. Osis’s research assistant.
Interestingly, Swann had no experience with out of the body experiences and he did not feel anyone was capable of doing this at will. But, that didn’t bother Dr. Osis who told Swann he would be paid $50/day. The way it was supposed to work was for Swann to try and see the contents of the tray and narrate into a tape recorder his perceptions. Later, the transcript would be compared to various drawings by a psychologist (not part of ASPR) who was unaware that OOBE perceptions were the focus of the experiment.

Despite some interesting early successes, Swann found the initial stretch (of several weeks) difficult going and, as a result, he pondered what may be inhibiting him. He realized that he was “having trouble…..articulating what I thought I was seeing into the microphone. I found I had to stop ’seeing’, and think about how to say what I felt I was ’seeing’ [and] then I had to verbalize it.” [2]

Everyone agreed then to let Swann sketch what he was seeing in his mind’s eye (in the attempts to perceive contents in the tray). A clipboard of paper and a pen were balanced on his knees and since any movements while drawing did not result in “artefacts” in the brainwave readout, all was set to go.

(Drawing and writing would become the standard practice in the later remote viewing tasks conducted by covert government teams. From the first to the last stages of RV efforts, typically with the guidance of a monitor, either forms and shapes or words would be utilized to illustrate the deepening perceptions in accordance with the focus of each stage.)

Like was implied before, in Swann’s description of the process of “seeing” the contents of the tray, his perceptions in these experiments did not seem to generally involve a vehicle of consciousness travelling outside of the body.

Therefore, a new language or vocabulary was adopted, influenced (Swann reports) by talking with Martin Ebon (apparently very aware of the Soviet scene and their use of terminology for describing enhanced perceptual capacities). So instead of struggling to fly out of his body and viewing the tray’s various contents, Swann began seeing the process as involving what he called the “perceptual faculties of the biomind.”

In late November 1971, Swann reports, good (albeit often partially successful) results began to emerge more consistently and by early December results were becoming repeatable and stronger. By this time, Swann’s drawings were more and more clearly matching all the various objects placed in the tray above his head.

Needless to say, these picture drawings and the frequent matching’s with the target objects not only excited the ASPR staff and board members, but caused them to deepen their consideration of actual process and design more challenging experiments. So, they decided to try something harder and definitely different: to see if Swann could determine the weather conditions in a distant city.
On December 8, 1971, Swann was hooked up as usual and waited while his monitor (Janet) opened up a sealed envelope; revealed was the target city of Tucson, Arizona.

Swann has described (in his online book on this history) what happened next:

And when I first heard the mention of ‘Tuscon, Arizona’, a picture of hot desert flashed through my mind. But then I had the sense of moving, a sense that lasted but a fraction of a second. Some part of my head or brain or perception blacked out—and THERE I was….something I would refer to years ahead as ‘immediate transfer of perceptions.’

So fast was the whole of this, or so it seemed to me, that I began speaking almost as soon as Janet had narrated the distant site through the intercom. ‘Am over a wet highway, buildings nearby and in the distance. The wind is blowing. Its cold. And it is raining hard.’ I didn’t even have time to sketch this, for it was easy enough to articulate into the tape recorder.’
‘That’s it?’ questioned Janet through the intercom.

‘Yeah, that’s it—only that I’m slightly dizzy. I thought this would take longer. It’s raining and very cold there.’ ‘Okay’, Janet replied….Through the intercom I heard her dialing the number of the weather service in Tucson.

Before I could stand up, though, Janet said through the intercom: ‘Well, you’re right on, baby. Right now Tucson is having unexpected thunderstorms and the temperature is near freezing?’[3]

This was only a first experiment of its kind (except for the much more moderate distance of trying to see objects recently on Dr. Osis’s coffee table upstairs). In order to provide a new descriptive term for this new type of experimenting, Swann suggested that the experiments be called either “remote sensing” or “remote viewing“.

Dr. Osis and Gertrude Schmeidler preferred “remote viewing“. And, that’s the term that would be used from that point on.
