It is easy to find information about remote viewing, although sometimes it is easy to be misled if you are still a novice.

I try to gather as much information as possible about it - it may seem sometimes like repetition, but there are always subtle nuances.

The good thing is that once you know ‘what is’ remote viewing, you can learn ‘how to’ remote view.

What You Need to Know About…

Remote Viewing

It’s a scientific method of tapping into the “universal mind,” transcending time and space, and bringing the unconscious into the conscious - and YOU can learn to do it

Are you curious about remote viewing? You have most likely heard about this mysterious practice and understand that is has something to do with ESP. What you may not know is that a person does not have to be a psychic to learn and use remote viewing. In fact, you can learn to become a remote viewer and access incredible mental powers you didn’t even know you have.

What Is Remote Viewing?

Remote viewing is the controlled use of ESP (extrasensory perception) through a specific method. Using a set of protocols (technical rules), the remote viewer can perceive a target - a person, object or event - that is located distantly in time and space. A remote viewer, it is said, can perceive a target in the past or future that is located in the next room, across the country, around the world or, theoretically, across the universe. In remote viewing, time and space are meaningless. What makes remote viewing different than ESP is that, because it uses specific techniques, it can be learned by virtually anyone.

The term “remote viewing” came about in 1971 through experimentation conducted by Ingo Swann (who correctly remote viewed in 1973 that the planet Jupiter has rings, a fact later confirmed by space probes), Janet Mitchell, Karlis Osis and Gertrude Schmeidler.

In the method that they and others developed, there are five components necessary for remote viewing to take place:

• a subject (the remote viewer)
• active ESP abilities
• a distant target
• the subject’s recorded perceptions
• a confirmatory positive feedback

A remote viewing sessions lasts about one hour.

During the Cold War through the 1970s and 1980s, remote viewing was further developed by the US military and the CIA through such programs codenamed Sun Streak, Grill Flame and Star Gate. The government-sponsored remote viewing programs were successful, according to many who participated. Some of the now-declassified examples include the highly accurate and detailed descriptions of buildings and facilities hundred of miles from the remote viewer - including a crane assembly in the Soviet Union.

Although these organizations claim that after 20 years of experimentation their remote viewing programs have been abandoned, some insiders believe that they are being continued secretly. Some well-known remote viewers say they were contacted by the US government after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to help locate other possible terrorist activity.

I’ve compiled a list of theories, untruths, misconceptions and other things that have been said about remote viewing…

Remote Viewing is not…

Remote viewing is not…

…an out-of-body experience. A remote viewer does not astrally project to the target, although some remote viewers occasionally report a feeling of bilocating to the site of the target. Remote Viewing is not a meditative, dream or trance state. During a remote viewing session, the subject is always fully awake and alert. As Christophe Brunski writes in “Remote Viewing: Conditions and Potentials,” “Whereas one might consider a trance state to be ‘going down’ into the deeper levels of mind, RV might be said to allow information from these deeper levels to ‘come up.’” ~ What You Need to Know About Remote Viewing - About.com

Remote viewing is not…

…precisely one thing, but rather an integrated “cocktail” of various phenomena, unlike most other psi disciplines. Despite the “viewing” part of the term, remote viewing is only partly about experiences associated with what might be visible about a target. It also involves mental impressions pertaining to the other senses, such as sounds, tastes, smells, and textures, as well as limited telepathy-like effects, and in some cases just plain intuitive “knowing.” RV owes some of these qualities to the fact that lessons learned from research in clairvoyance, telepathy, and even out-of-body experiences — traditionally considered separate disciplines — played a role in its development. ~ WHAT IS REMOTE VIEWING? - Paul H. Smith

Remote viewing is not…

…”being psychic” in the way commonly understood by the media and many practitioners of “paranormal” arts—though thanks to recent incomplete or inaccurate reports many have been led to believe otherwise. Remote viewers are not the typical “clairvoyants,” “fortune tellers,” or “psychics” we often hear about on TV or read about in the papers. Many of these more traditional psychics often do have amazing talents and abilities, but there is a qualitative difference between the average “natural” psychic, and a properly-trained remote viewer. ~ Paul H. smith. - Source: http://www.rviewer.com/

Remote viewing is not…

…used to give “psychic readings,” “tell fortunes,” “read auras,” or other sorts of popular activities of this nature, but is rather a means of doing serious science research and for performing operational-type tasks in criminal investigations, government intelligence work, commercial applications, etc. Many who want to explore their individual human potentials also become interested in it. ~ WHAT IS REMOTE VIEWING? - Paul H. Smith

RV is not really …

…a “psychic phenomenon” as such, but actually an imposed discipline or skill that helps the viewer to facilitate or “harness” his or her own innate, underlying psi abilities. Some RV theorists think that formal RV methods are really just strategies that help the viewer to more successfully and reliably access the subconscious, where it is most likely that information obtained from RV first emerges into human consciousness. ~ WHAT IS REMOTE VIEWING? - Paul H. Smith

Remote viewing is not…

…a form of dreaming. Similarly, it is important not to confuse RV with meditation or trance states. When working, the remote viewer is fully awake and alert. Whereas one might consider a trance state to be “going down” into the deeper levels of mind, RV might be said to allow information from these deeper levels to “come up.”

Christophe Brunski, writer of The Sea-Glass Chronicles.- The Anomalist.

Remote viewing is not…

…a new phenomenon; the ability has been ours since the beginning of time. The formulation and systemization of theological doctrine as set forth in ancient records present us with countless examples of humanity’s learned and inherent abilities to transcend the physical; to see in the mind’s eye, people, places and events separate from their physical reality. From the ancient hieroglyphics carved into the walls of forgotten Egyptian tombs, to the “Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, the Urantia Book, A Course in Miracles, the Old Testament, the Koran, the Kabbalah, the Talmud, and the New Testament−to name but a few−all give accounts of journeys out of the physical body, to night flights of soul, to projections of consciousness, et cetera. However, the most recent history began circa 1972 when the Central Intelligence Agency learned through various human intelligence sources that the Czechs, Chinese, Soviets, Germans, the Israelis and even the British, were all heavily involved in the study of various aspects of what would be called the “paranormal.” ~ David A. Morehouse, Ph.D.

Astral Projection - The process of separating your astral body from your physical body to accomplish travel in the astral.

The act of separating the astral body from the physical body. Also known as Astral Travel.

Astral Projection

An out-of-body experience often occurring during sleep or a meditative state during which the etheric body separates from the physical body and travels over great distances to another location as the result of an altered state of consciousness.

Out-of-body Experience

The out-of-body experience can be a dramatic one. Clinically, this falls into a phenomenon called “dissociative experience or disorder.”

Often the experiences that create this feeling are powerfully ecstatic or traumatic. In either case, the feeling is similar to watching oneself in a film. Basically, whatever is going on in the dream is so powerful that the dreamer is separating herself from experiencing it directly. The result is a self watching the self in a moment of life. Dreams of this nature can be very revealing about the self at work in the world (see Medard Boss). Lucid dreaming can also create this feeling. In lucid dreaming, the dreamer is conscious of dreaming and may be watching herself in the dream.

Dreams of this nature may create a feeling that the dreamer has projected herself into another sphere of reality, creating a sense of astral projection. This idea has been popularised by certain paranormal studies on perceptions of reality.

Native American cultures view the out-of-body experience as a fuller unity of the soul with nature. As such, it is not surprising that they hold such experiences in high regard. It is in this sense that you can consider the out-of-body experience a brush with great power-in a world of physical limitations you suddenly have the ability to go wherever you wish to go. You have complete control regarding your place in the universe.

Conversely, another possible out-of-body experience involves a complete loss of power: seeing yourself lying on an operating table in a hospital.

The STARGATE program worked for US local law enforcement.

For over 20 years, the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory has been the center for government-sponsored parapsychology research in support of its intelligence program most recently known as STAR GATE.

Their website has an amazing video which has aired on National TV.

The video shows a Remote Viewing (RV) session done in a TV program using a scientific protocol.

We are first introduced to a man who has had a near death experience (NDE) in his life, after which he started to possess very strong ESP abilities, including occasional telepathy and remote viewing capabilities.

The producers of the program put the man to a test using a scientific protocol used in the research of the Remote Viewing. The results were spectacular.

With training and experience, remote viewing can become very accurate and almost natural. It is possible to remote view with great accuracy as Joe McMoneagle’s story below explains…

From The Vancouver Courier, 07 July 1995

Spying sight unseen

Inexplicably, ‘remote viewers’ often pinpoint distant details

by Geoff Olson
Contributing writer

Joe McMoneagle wasn’t feeling well on a hot July night in 1970. An overseas U.S. military man, he was relaxing in a restaurant in Brassau, Austria. McMoneagle remembers the establishment as being full of loud and happy revellers, the interior thick with cigarette and pipe smoke. It was warmer than usual, but it wasn’t until he was offered a rum and coke by one of the revellers that he began to feel ill.

The back of his next grew hot,and as the group gathered to leave, McMoneagle had the distinct impression his surroundings were changing. The voices around him grew unintelligible, and as he reached for the door, his hand moved "in a slow-motion arc toward the handle."

"My last blurred memory," he wrote in his 1993 book Mind Trek, "was the door opening and my body falling through it from its own momentum. I distinctly remember fearing that I would break the glass with my fall and then heard a horribly loud pop and thought it might have been my face striking something as I was falling."

Expecting cobblestones to smack him in the face, McMoneagle caught his balance and found himself standing in the street. He felt light and quite well, but when he turned he discovered a body half in and half out of the gutter by the front door. "The shock of what I saw sent a huge shudder throughout my being. Lying in the street was my body, face up, with eyes and mouth open."

This was one man’s introduction to what he would later consider to be psychic experiences. Out-of-body travels and other paranormal events continued to dog McMoneagle after his 1970 near-death experience.

In 1978, he found himself under the study of Prof. Hal Puthoff at Stanford Research Institute. McMoneagle, along with others who had previously demonstrated psychic talents, were tested to see if they could "remote view" distant targets. A target could be a public swimming pool, a hi-tech windmill, a church–anything visually compelling on the California landscape. Two individuals would open sealed instructions with the target, and travel to the site, while back in the lab McMoneagle and other remote viewers would attempt to get psychic impressions of the target seen by the two travelling subjects.

Using double-blind procedures to rule out conscious or subconscious cueing, the experimenters themselves were unaware of the target sites. Only after the return of the travelling subjects were the results examined.

The testing grew more sophisticated, and a standard set of protocols was developed. According to the SRI scientists, McMoneagle and others consistently scored significantly higher than chance.

The military and intelligence interest in the research at SRI was near immediate. Soon both the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency had their own remote viewing units, and by the mid-’80’s, remote viewers were working on hidden nuclear weapons, drugg trafficking operations, and even the whereabouts of Col. Gaddafi. This was the so-called "Project Stargate."

McMoneagle was assigned to the Headquarters of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) in Arlington, Virginia, where he culminated his career acting as a Special Projects Intelligence Officer with the 902nd Military Intelligence Group.

It was from 1978 to 1984, according to reports, that McMoneagle had several outstanding successes with remote viewing, including the discovery of a new Typhoon class Russian sub–with all details later determined to be correct.

With the discovery of the apparent ability to transcend space and time, remote viewers strayed into distinctly non-military areas. One effort involved remote-viewing Jupiter. Ingo Swann, a New York artist, and one of the most successful of the SRI remote viewers, was tasked with psychically plunging into the upper atmosphere of the planet. Here’s Swann’s own record of the session:

6:03:25. "There’s a planet with stripes."

6:04:13. "I hope it’s Jupiter."

"I think it must have an extremely large hydrogen mantle. If a space probe made contact with that, it would be maybe 80,000-120,000 miles out from the planet surface."

6:03. "So, I’m approaching it on the tangent where I can see it’s a half-moon, in other words, half-lit/half-dark. If I move around to the lit side, it’s distinctly yellow toward the right."

6:06:20. "Very high in the atmosphere there are crystals… they glitter. Maybe the stripes are like bands of crystals; maybe like rings of Saturn, though not far out like that. Very close within the atmosphere… I bet you they’ll reflect radio probes."

Swann cites this as evidence he remote-viewed Jupiter’s ring–an astronomical feature of the planet only discovered by probe in 1979. The time of the remote viewing session was 1973. Critics have pointed out there are no mountain ranges on Jupiter, as Swann asserted in his session, but the artist points out they ignore his succesful "hit" with Jupiter’s ring, and Jupiter’s high infrared reading, among other observations.

Other remote viewers took to targeting what appeared to be UFOs. Both McMoneagle and Swann claim to have had some success with this, apparently picking up on bizarre, structured craft entering earth’s atmosphere. McMoneagle was once given, without his knowledge, the "Cydonia region" of Mars as a target. Pencil in hand, he sketched the images from his unconscious. He had impressions of an advanced civilization that suffered a catastrophe millions of years ago, and later discovered his drawings and landmark descriptions matched the geological features targeted by co-ordinate for the Martian surface.

(Courtney Brown, a Ph.D. political science professor, recently went through remote viewing protocols with the intent of examining the more far-out stuff alluded to by other psychic voyagers. He now runs a remote viewing center, the FarSite Institute, and his book on what he considers to be psychically retrieved information on UFOs and aliens, Cosmic Voyage, marks the newest phase of remote viewing: an expensive inner arcade game. However, critics sympathetic to remote viewing charge Brown’s book is a record of bad science, with loose procedures unlike those used at SRI.)

Eventually it was the more bizarre aspects of the remote-viewing programs that led the intelligence agencies to wash their hands of them–at least officially.

The years following Oliver North and Iranscam guaranteed the official scrutiny of any other small-scale "hip-pocket" operations that might prove to be embarrassing for American intelligence agencies. Remote viewing itself, consequently, was viewed dimly. Project Stargate was unfavorably reviewed, and civilian administrators shredded 20 years’ worth of documents. Resources to the program dwindled, morale plummeted, and the Defense Intelligence Agency no longer wanted any involvement with politically questionable spooky stuff.

The program limped on with support from Congress, and remote viewers were called upon in intelligence operations during the Gulf War. In 1995, the remnants of the program were transferred to the agency that initially supported it–the CIA, who shut it down. Still smarting from the Ames spy case, and feeling vulnerable to congressional and public criticism, the agency decided to take the ESP out of espionage, or so the story goes.

The question is: if remote viewing had proven utility for U.S. intelligence, has it truly been discarded? Or, did it attain too high a public profile at SRI and other locales, necessitating a new, "black" program somewhere in the highly compartmentalized world of intelligence?

"It isn’t the remote viewing that’s dangerous," McMoneagle now says, "it’s the information and what people might do with it." The remote viewers themselves came away with an irretrievably altered view of themselves and their place in the universe. For many, relationships with family and friends suffered, as they moved into realms of human experience beyond sharing. According to one remote viewer, who was tasked with remote viewing the Lockerbie jet disaster, the greatest risk was "a God complex."

McMoneagle, for his part, didn’t want to return to his body during his near death experience: "In comparison, this physical reality we live in is most primitive. There are many people who share our world but have no respect for it.

"I wanted to remain in the Light and become part of it because it felt as if all knowing and feeling were contained there. It was like swimming in nothing but pure and unconditional love… I argued to stay, but lost the argument. There is probably a reason for it, but I haven’t a clue as to what it might be."

Sun goes longer than normal without producing sunspots

June 09, 2008 — By Evelyn Boswell, Montana State University News Service

BOZEMAN — The sun has been laying low for the past couple of years, producing no sunspots and giving a break to satellites.

That’s good news for people who scramble when space weather interferes with their technology, but it became a point of discussion for the scientists who attended an international solar conference at Montana State University. Approximately 100 scientists from Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and North America gathered June 1-6 to talk about "Solar Variability, Earth’s Climate and the Space Environment."

The scientists said periods of inactivity are normal for the sun, but this period has gone on longer than usual.

"It continues to be dead," said Saku Tsuneta with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, program manager for the Hinode solar mission. "That’s a small concern, a very small concern."

The Hinode satellite is a Japanese mission with the United States and United Kingdom as partners. The satellite carries three telescopes that together show how changes on the sun’s surface spread through the solar atmosphere. MSU researchers are among those operating the X-ray telescope. The satellite orbits 431 miles above ground, crossing both poles and making one lap every 95 minutes, giving Hinode an uninterrupted view of the sun for several months out of the year.

Dana Longcope, a solar physicist at MSU, said the sun usually operates on an 11-year cycle with maximum activity occurring in the middle of the cycle. Minimum activity generally occurs as the cycles change. Solar activity refers to phenomena like sunspots, solar flares and solar eruptions. Together, they create the weather than can disrupt satellites in space and technology on earth.

The last cycle reached its peak in 2001 and is believed to be just ending now, Longcope said. The next cycle is just beginning and is expected to reach its peak sometime around 2012. Today’s sun, however, is as inactive as it was two years ago, and scientists aren’t sure why.

"It’s a dead face," Tsuneta said of the sun’s appearance.

Tsuneta said solar physicists aren’t like weather forecasters; They can’t predict the future. They do have the ability to observe, however, and they have observed a longer-than-normal period of solar inactivity. In the past, they observed that the sun once went 50 years without producing sunspots. That period coincided with a little ice age on Earth that lasted from 1650 to 1700.

Tsuneta said he doesn’t know how long the sun will continue to be inactive, but scientists associated with the Hinode mission are ready for it to resume maximum activity. They have added extra ground stations to pick up signals from Hinode in case solar activity interferes with instruments at other stations around the world. The new stations, ready to start operating this summer, are located in India, Norway, Alaska and the South Pole.

Establishing those stations, as well as the Hinode mission, required international cooperation, Tsuneta said. No one country had the resources to carry out those projects by itself.

Four countries, three space agencies and 11 organizations worked together on Hinode which was launched in September 2006, Tsuneta said. Among the collaborators was Loren Acton, a research professor of physics at MSU. Tsuneta and Acton worked together closely from 1986-2002 and were reunited at the MSU conference.

"His leadership was immense, superb," Tsuneta said about Acton.

Acton, 72, said he is still enthused by solar physics and the new questions being raised. In fact, he wished he could knock 22 years off his age and extend his career even longer.

"It’s too much fun," he said. "There’s so much exciting stuff come up, I would like to be part of it."

There is so much history to remote viewing.

Remote viewing has been around for a long time and has many practical, everyday uses. Although much of the documentation seems to say so, remote viewing isn’t just for institutions -it’s for you, too…

ABSTRACT from the Journal of Scientific Exploration

REMOTE VIEWING AT STANFORD RESEARCH INSTITUTE IN THE 1970′S: A MEMOIR

Russell Targ

JSE Volume 10 Number 1: Page 77.

Hundreds of remote viewing experiments were carried out at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) from 1972 to 1986.

The purpose of some of these trials was to elucidate the physical and psychological properties of psi abilities, while others were conducted to provide information for our CIA sponsor about current events in far off places.

We learned that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing was not in any way affected by distance, size, or electromagnetic shielding, and we discovered that the more exciting or demanding the task, the more likely we were to be successful.

Above all, we became utterly convinced of the reality of psi abilities.

This article focuses on two outstanding examples: One is an exceptional, map-like drawing of a Palo Alto swimming pool complex, and the other is an architecturally accurate drawing of a gantry crane located at a Soviet weapons laboratory, and verified by satellite photography.

The percipient for both of these experiments was Pat Price, a retired police commissioner who was one of the most outstanding remote viewers to walk through the doors of SRI.
