How I Discovered Remote Viewing, and How YOU too Can Master It

Hello boys and girls,

A lot of the time I get a ton of emails from peo­ple in our blog com­mu­nity ask­ing me how I stum­bled upon remote view­ing and what got me inter­ested in it in the first place.

So instead of reply­ing to like a MILLION emails, I thought shar­ing it here with every­one will be a bet­ter idea. :)

This Is My Story

I began expe­ri­enc­ing flashes of intu­ition as a teen. It usu­ally hap­pened dur­ing dreams.

I’d dream about a par­tic­u­lar friend I had not seen in years only to have that very friend call me that very day!

I poured through books on the sub­ject from experts in the field of mind-science includ­ing Jose Silva, Napoleon Hill, and Robert Mon­roe. I expe­ri­enced OBEs and incred­i­bly detailed remote view­ing expe­ri­ences.

Crazy, I know!

Later, when I could afford it I took sev­eral sem­i­nars includ­ing The Silva Method and Hemi-Sync (by the Mon­roe Institute).

This helped me fine-tune my skills, par­tic­u­larly along the lines of remote view­ing an individual’s health and on remote influ­enc­ing spe­cific outcomes.

I started this blog to sim­ply col­lect snip­pets and videos of inter­est­ing remote view­ing arti­cles I found online.

But lately, I’ve actu­ally had the oppor­tu­nity to inter­view and get to know many of the giants in this field — includ­ing Ed Dames who was with the CIA, Ger­ald O’Donnell, Stephan Schwartz and even Paul Smith who was a Star­gate insider.

I’ll be shar­ing my con­ver­sa­tions and inter­views with you through the lessons (if you haven’t signed up for them yet, do so at the top right box in this blog).

So, Why the Pas­sion for RV?

Well I think Remote View­ing and Remote Influ­enc­ing are the next fron­tier of sci­ence.

They hold untold pos­si­bil­i­ties for help­ing us cre­ate a bet­ter and saner future for our off­spring and to help us under­stand the spark of the divine that lies within us all.

And that, to me, is very exciting!

Hope you enjoyed read­ing this far.

Gotta run now and spend some time with my kid.

Talk soon,
Michael

    Hi Michael
    I was taught in a series of psy­chic classes I took many years ago.I’ve been using it for remote view­ing and absent heal­ing (med­ical intu­itive). Con­fi­dence can be a prob­lem espe­cially near skep­tics. I know I am meant to help peo­ple
    with this. When the kids were small it also came in handy to check on them.
    I’ve just got my Past Life Regres­sion Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and found it works there too, to con­firm a clients per­cep­tion of
    what they and those around them looked like in that life.
    Kind­est Regards
    Nancy

    I have always been very intu­itive. The first time I par­tic­i­pated in a remote view­ing exer­cise I hit the target-so to speak. It was in pic­ture form. I bless you for offer­ing this. I now have more time.
    Actu­ally we need to make time…

    I was ran­domly surf­ing youtube, found some­one inter­view­ing an RV expert (probly Stephen Schwartz)-I’d never heard of RVing up to this point — and he asked the inter­viewer if he’d like to “try it out”, he said he had some­thing in his pocket –could the inter­viewer tell him what it was? so i stopped the video clip, and sketched almost with­out any thought (well yes of course now i know that’s what i did) and it was this strange shape,which i had no idea what it would be called, just the shape and lines and arrange­ment of it, then i started the video again, and he pulled out exactly what i had sketched ! That’s what hooked me, I’ve had great suc­cess and I am glad i had such a sim­ple and easy intro­duc­tion –was dou­bly amaz­ing to me because it wasn’t in “real” time, it was an old youtube video clip.And I still was able to cap­ture it. I still get a real kick out of get­ting it “right” !! It’s greatly satisfying.

    Wow. Great To here oth­ers sto­ries on this sub­ject and to know we are not alone. I used to do a lot of remote view­ing for the service’s in my younger days. Cough!! Enough said. But again its great to here we are not alone :-)

    I didn’t know what RV is until I hit the web a few years ago.

    Maybe some­one directed microwaves at me and other kids for exper­i­ment. I haven’t counted that out, but since cer­tain events from my child­hood, I’ve had pre­cog­ni­tive dreams.

    I still remem­ber this dream: I was work­ing at this huge build­ing where it was dark inside with all kinds of weird dec­o­ra­tions like Hal­loween and all kinds of weirdos were whis­per­ing secrets to each other, then I sud­denly couldn’t breathe for some reason.

    About a decade later I found myself work­ing at SRI chem­i­cal research build­ing where it’s dark in many places with all kinds of weird bucky ball dec­o­ra­tions. I recall pass­ing a few con­ver­sa­tions where the sci­en­tists were talk­ing about some really bad stuff. At a lab one of the sci­en­tists told the other, “I can’t take any­more.” then the other said, “You have to. We have a sched­ule to meet…” When I passed the lab, I sud­denly couldn’t breathe because of the fumes.

    I have always had an ‘extra sense’ about things. I am only going to men­tion a lit­tle bit here. Many years ago, I met some­one who stud­ied and exper­i­mented at Stan­ford. Our talks about the nature and qual­ity of insight and things like meta-cognition felt/feels like ‘sec­ond nature’ to me. He gave me a paper about super­lu­mi­nal com­mu­ni­ca­tions research being done in con­junc­tion with the mil­i­tary. While I am not a ‘physics heavy’ and have not under­stood the for­mu­las, I do appre­ci­ate the truth in the ideas about com­mu­ni­ca­tion on another whole level. Once I went to a ben­e­fit with another friend. There were three women I met at dif­fer­ent times while I ‘worked the crowd’, away from my friend. While the infor­ma­tion never came up in con­ver­sa­tion, I knew details about their lives. I was ‘impressed’ some­how. Sev­eral days later my friend con­firmed my ‘knowl­edge’ dur­ing a phone con­ver­sa­tion. He is an Orga­ni­za­tional Devel­op­ment con­sul­tant and knows how to ask neu­tral ques­tions. Need­less to say, my first-mentioned friend appre­ci­ated the con­nec­tions. You also could say that I have made a few trips here and there. I am sure that some of you will get the pic­ture. So far, I have not engaged in any train­ing of any design other than my own. Per­haps I will. One day, I did get a kick out of fol­low­ing a strong and ‘dif­fer­ent’ feel­ing to visit a casino to sense and play a cer­tain machine. It pro­vide me $20K. For the folks who are aware of less, let me say that believ­ing (i.e. see­ing the Truth) is essen­tial. It also occurs to me that cer­tain align­ments are in effect with one’s cer­tainty — I have yet to fully expe­ri­ence the Truth in a way that is sus­tain­able over ‘time’. Think out­side of lan­guage! Love and bless­ings to you all. Pre-script: What ener­gies are the most ‘har­mo­nious’ to yours, which can res­onate with you? Your own! Try ask­ing your future self a few ques­tions and see what happens.

    Hey I’m really enjoy­ing fol­low­ing the com­ments — yes I think folks who would be drawn to some­thing as non main­stream as RVing might be kind of in a class of their own, not that any­one can’t do it — but I know lots of folks who just wouldn’t be able to grasp the absolute sim­plic­ity of it or who would even scoff. (fear causes blind­ness some­times). Any­ways, great stuff, hope to see more folks join­ing in soon.

    While I was open minded enough to do UFO research, I didn’t think too much of the real­ity of RV, auras, etc. But all my research took me into the para­nor­mal, and with­out an under­stand­ing of it, there was a lot about UFO’s that just didn’t make sense. I never expected to learn that psi is a skill we all have to one degree or another, but that sim­ple truth took me fur­ther, until I saw an event through time and space that tran­scended coin­ci­dence with odds of 44 quadrillion to one, the detail was so clear. The fun­ni­est was when my scep­tic sis­ter spoke with me about one of her stu­dents, I told her the student’s name, and she just kept right on talk­ing.
    Invest­ing in your future in this way is well worth the effort, change of lifestyle, and the peace it engen­ders. The world is for you, not the indus­tri­al­ists or politicians.

    It´s so inter­est­ing to hear your sto­ries! I am a typ­i­cal Nat­ural psy­chic accord­ing to the pro­file and aboute 4 years ago I attended at an work­shop with Joseph Mc Mon­ea­gle and Ed May here in Stock­holm (Swe­den) and I fell in love with RV and it felt like I finally had come home! I was so excited at this work­shop that it took a long time to find the ground again after that. A friend of mine also invited Lyn Buchanan to Stock­holm and to hear him was also super nice and inspir­ing. I want to inves­ti­gate appli­ca­tions for RV and I am doing just that, it´s so inter­est­ing and I am a men­tal junkie so this sub­ject can really enter­tain me for life. Recently I tried an RV ques­tion aboute my core assump­tion aboute life that hin­ders me to reach my full poten­tial. I strongly rec­om­mend this ques­tion if you want to get some pos­i­tive changes in your life! I agree with “WiseGuy” who sug­gest to strengthen your con­nec­tion with all your “selfs” that is out there (inter­di­men­sional self maybe?)
    Wish all of you the best and thanks for this excel­lent blog!

    Hey guys. Sci­en­tific IS the word for it. Ein­stein hit it right on the head with his Uni­fied Field The­ory. I’ve been tun­ing in to the elec­tri­cal fre­quen­cies for as long as I can remem­ber. Astral travel, RV, clairau­di­ence, clairsen­tience, past lives… we are all born with the abil­ity to do it. Some of us refine it to a higher point than others…it’s a mat­ter of focus. What hin­ders us, to begin with, is usu­ally our par­ents attitudes…and their lack of knowl­edge on the sub­ject. The skep­tics that poo-pooh it are no help either…discouraging others(children particularly)from keep­ing an open mind. The dream state is a great place to pick up info…as well as to com­mu­ni­cate with those that have passed over…since we both are func­tion­ing in sim­i­lar fre­quen­cies while in that state. While in the body we are func­tion­ing in the lower phys­i­cal fre­quen­cies, while our brain and our ‘super con­scious­ness’ have the abil­ity to func­tion in the higher ‘hertz’.

    About four years ago some­one broke into my locker at work and stole some of my tools.After think­ing about it for about 30 minutes,i had formed a pic­ture in my mind of some­one in blue a jumpsuit.He was tall and skinny with blond hair.At the end of my shift, as i was going out of the plant,i came across this man.He was wear­ing a blue jump­suit and had blond hair.I walked up to him and asked “where did you put my tools”?If only you could see the look in eyes when i asked that question!

    I RV fre­quently, but I always pray before. I have a radio show/blog and peo­ple are amazed at the analy­sis of cur­rent events but they sim­ply don’t under­stand that they can do it too. It’s just a mat­ter of clear­ing stress out of your life.

    hello michael,

    i do not have the funds to attend all the classes there are on remote view­ing and influ­enc­ing. so which one do you rec­om­mend if i can only attend one? i am actu­ally from the Philip­pines, and the near­est place where i can go to attend a class would be hongkong or the neigh­bor­ing coun­tries for the Silva Mind Method. I really would like to learn remote influ­enc­ing, espe­cially heal­ing as i would like deeply, deeply to keep my fam­ily healthy. i am a gen­eral physi­cian, and i have the call­ing to heal, how­ever i fight it.

    so which is the best course to take? can you please com­pare the courses you have taken? please reply to this ques­tion through email, so as to keep your opin­ion discreet.

    really hop­ing for you input on this.

    thank you very much.

    I had not heard the term remote view­ing before but all my life I have expe­ri­enced unex­plain­able expe­ri­ences with beings and things beyond what would be con­sid­ered “nor­mal.” I come at it from a Chris­t­ian per­spec­tive and have expe­ri­enced out of body jour­neys in heal­ing prayers. It really opened up for me at 22 when I grad­u­ated from col­lege and spent much time alone, quiet with a new baby.

    Hey peo­ples, I got some news for evey­one. News that are impor­tant that I’m pre­dict­ing is going to hap­pen on 2012. By the way michael your videos are great k. Umm not long ago I started train­ing in the arts of psi and chi. I’m study­ing remote view­ing and I saw some­thing doing it. It’s about 2012. I saw peo­ple bend­ing ele­ments and it was amaz­ing . It was like avatar and I have a rea­son to show this is true. So rarely the plan­ets r sup­pose to aline and in 2012 that is going to hap­pen. A long time ago peo­ple use to be able to bend the ele­ments and the plan­ets alined then so the bend­ing must have been stopped and on 2012 our bend­ing is going to acti­vate again . I’m so tired so I’m srry I have bad gram­mer k.

    I met a friend on face­book and she wanted to know what remote view­ing is exactly. We played a game over the phone called i spy with my lit­tle eye.lol i visu­alised her green truck with flames. i thought at first her vehi­cle was on “fire”. We agreed to meet at a cof­fee shop and i told her i would like to pay her park­ing ticket. Sure enough, the next day, her “truck” recieved a park­ing ticket. i did offer to pay it lol.

    I lived in New York. My mohter lived in Texas about 10 years ago. I wanted to see a fig­urine she was mak­ing. I was sit­ting at the table think­ing about her fig­urine. I just saw it. Then a week later she was paint­ing a pic­ture of an eagle for me. So I just thought I would like to see that and I did. She sent it to me a week later with the pic­ture of the fig­urine. I was really happy. I have always seen events now and then. I broke up with my old boy friend because I told him not to fall at work and hit his head. His brother tuck me to his work and asked if that was were it was going to hap­pen and I said yes. Two weeks later it did. He fell from a high build­ing. He grabbed ahold of it. He fell and broke his foot. He called me a witch. I really did not do any thing to the man. I actu­ally loved him. So It is with most peo­ple who have this gift they don’t say any­thing. Peo­ple are very weird and will beat you up or other things when you present your­self as you truly are. I really would like to get bet­ter at this. It really can be awful to see a crime and feel it before it hap­pens and not really know were it is or you can not stop it. It leaves you with a feel­ing of powerlessness.

    I’ve had sim­i­lar expe­ri­ences as you. I have a high ESP level since child­hood and I’m not sure if it was RV or not but my dreams are always past, present or future. I had a dream years ago I was in a lab coat explain­ing things to peo­ple and that was it. I’m an Amer­i­can teacher in China right now but off to be a Med­ical Lab­o­ra­tory Sci­en­tist. Go fig­ure. I do won­der how to get to that point of con­scious you have talked about. I will research it. I have to say an open mind and con­fi­dence plays a huge role in any­thing to do with the mind. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi, I found out about RV on Coast to Coast AM when George Noorey inter­view Ed Dames a few years back, and I bought a kit to get started. The hard­est part for me is to find a place where it’s quiet and nue­tral to play the game by myself. So I haven’t used it for a while. I do want to get more into RV as I believe this can have a pos­i­tive twist on our lives.

    It started about two years ago when i was lay­ing in bed and i thought some­thing weird was hap­pen­ing but i soon real­ized i had a spe­cial ability.Not know­ing what i was doing i let it go and thought noth­ing of it. I just moved to Nebraska from Delaware and i was lay­ing on the floor think­ing of my brother and i was relaxed and com­fort­able i felt heavy at first and then i real­ized i was here in Nebraska and with an instance i was in his trailer look­ing at him and his room mate and with in an instance i was back on the floor. i tried the outer body expe­ri­ence the next day today and i was free but it seemed dark like i was in a black room i felt lost i snapped out and my heart was hurt­ing. i am new to this but i am a strong believer. patience is the virtue.

    I hap­pened to be for­tu­nate enough to stum­ble upon major Ed Dames
    and started read­ing about R.V. I heard about it a year ago, but
    didnt really delve into it. At present Ive read a lot but never
    tried it out,so I want my first attempt to be spot on but Im still not sure that I fully under­stand how to do it prop­erly. Hence Id
    really appre­ci­ate it if you could give me some point­ers to make
    sure I get it right.Thanking you for your time and enthu­siam.

    i have only recently heard about remote view­ing and remote influ­enc­ing. It seems that I’ve been doing some of that on my own since i was a very young.That’s why I’m inter­ested in why I did all of this on my own, and maybe i can improve.

    For exam­ple, when I was about 12 in Ari­zona, I was walk­ing inthe hills above Phoenix, where there were still walls from indian ruins, and I thought to myself that if i had been leav­ing, or mov­ing away, i would have placed a matate (corn grinder) on the cor­ner of a wall that I pic­tured in my mind. i went over the top of the slope and walkd right up to it and picked it up and car­ried it away. Today, it is price­less. in my mind, it was like I would say to myself, let­ting my mind go blank, sort of like what if such and such would hap­pen. that’s how i always do it.

    So, just to tell you, I hope i can ben­e­fit from read­ing your e-mails. There are many other times I have expe­ri­enced the things that peo­ple are talk­ing about and pay­ing for. Do you think there are many other nat­u­rals around? i know I am one.
    Please reply, I’m inter­ested in what you hve to say.—Carole

    Hey Michael,

    I think that the first time I heard of Remote View­ing In details was from your inter­view with G,O.D. I under­stood, bet­ter yet, much of what he said sounded famil­iar to me.
    Well to explain why, I need to tell that besides intu­ition, I think I was born with some psy­chic abil­i­ties. Believe me when I say that grow­ing up, I totally refused to accept it. It was out of fear. Grow­ing up, I was taught to be fear­ful. I had a very unique up bring­ing.( I do no want to go there now).
    How­ever time after time of psy­chic moments that I had expe­ri­ence forced me to not deny it but to accept its real­ity.
    So Remote view­ing man­i­fested on me and not me seek­ing it out. In other word is not my choice, is a kind of force that takes over me to places. Yet I am able to remem­ber. I have enjoyed some times but other times I still fear­ful that i might not come back. I have not been conected for the last 2 –3 last years. I bet­ter leave it there. So there you have it. This is a part of what I call my lon­ley world.

    Love & Peace

    Michael hav­ing recently joined your Blog and been exposed to the RV & RI I am pretty keen to get started as deep down I am not sur­prised we have the capac­ity to do this I was just not aware that peo­ple were prac­tic­ing and teach­ing this.

    I notice that you pro­mote two dif­fer­ent teach­ers Ger­ald O’Donnell, who I have lis­tened to his inter­views with you and are very impressed both with what he talks about and your abil­ity to clar­ify the var­i­ous points and Ed Dames, is there any point in belong­ing to both as my gut feel is with Gerald.

    Also in a inter­view or was writ­ten some­where that there was an oppor­tu­nity to get a 30 day trial for $1 which I can­not find, I have a short term cash flow prob­lem, if so could you or some­one else for­ward me the link.

    Michael, I just began my jour­ney of awak­en­ing Jan. 9, 2009, this is my next step my Men­tor plans to teach me RV-ing that had been hid­den from us for years. NOW human­ity can learn and fight back know­ing the tools of the trade. :-) You all seem to be sea­soned trav­elors. I am now weird to my MOM so may as well go all the way. :-) Look­ing for­ward to any help. No money makes it very dif­fi­cult to get help. Some one should do some­thing to help human­ity, LIKE X-military men that could give us a leg-up and help us learn who we are and the true 12-Strand DNA beings we really are, locked in a grid to keep us dumbed down. SO any Maj. or Adm. or any Mil­i­tary man that knows trade secrets WE HAVE REALLY BEEN PAYING FOR—-Shout it out to US–WHO paid your way to learn RV-ing from the CREAM of the crop, who the Gov­ern­ment always takes as their own. (OH who­ever men­tioned Ein­stein as so great, Remem­ber Tesla was the guru—and the Gov. bur­ried his free Energy and made “Ein­stein” sound greater. Do your research. :-) Tesla called poor Ein­stein an “Idiot.” Research and find out. –Any of you on this blog that can help us NEW-BES “YOO-HOO” we are here. I have a lot of catch­ing up to do.:) LOVE YOUR STORY MICHAEL.:) I Will find some­one to help me free–they are out there. Peace and Love to all Nancy from USA (Penna.)

    My father turned me on to some psi stuff in my early teens, par­tic­u­larly when we hadn’t heard from my eldest sis­ter in over 9 years. He showed me how to “con­tact” her wile she was dream­ing. She called the very next day, and I have always remem­bered that episode in my life as a very unique expe­ri­ence. Now with the inter­net, many options to rekin­dle and con­tinue to learn more about what is really going on with the remote view­ing and astral pro­jec­tion world are right at the tips of my fin­gers. Good lit­er­a­ture was hard to come by back then.

    I also have a deep pas­sion in remote view­ing, i came across the sub­ject after read­ing Lyn Buchanan’s book “The Sev­enth sense” because i was in the same boat like you look­ing for some answers, because i always get these dreams and visions that comes true. it’s an inter­est­ing sub­ject because we are just start­ing to dis­cover how much the human mind is capa­ble of.
