ON THE NATURE OF REALITY AND REMOTE VIEWING

REALITY AND REMOTE VIEWING
James Burnett, Ph.D., P.E.


INTRODUCTION

This paper is directed to why we are having so much difficulty scientifically understanding phenomena such as remote viewing (clairvoyance), dowsing, and spiritual healing.

I wrote this paper mostly for myself to better organize my thoughts, as a physicist, on my psychic and spiritual experiences and what these experiences are saying about the nature of the universe.

My paper emphasizes that we scientists must get out of our comfortable assumptions of a 4-dimensional space-time with immutable physics in order to significantly progress on understanding the Universe.

While my suggested view of "reality", and my supporting experiences, are not unique -- there are few signs that this view and such justifying experiences are much considered in the scientific and psychism communities.

Rather, I see that most scientists researching psychism are stuck in the comfortable assumptions that physics and 4-dimensional space-time are always valid and never have exceptions. They are also stuck in not weighing in possibly an active conscious spiritual participant.

This paper will not be acceptable to the standard research publications, because these publications with their peer review systems are the most stuck of all in these comfortable assumptions. I am retired and have no motivation to create technical publications for my professional advancement, which gives me the freedom to think and write unfettered.

For the ones who can manage their belief system, and not be managed by it, I offer this paper for thought.

I expect that changing the public's belief system on psychism will be done by generation-death and a new generation of more open thinkers. That is what Dr. Lister experienced with the German medical profession, after he discovered germs and sterilization.


SCIENCE BACKGROUND

My background is provided to establish that I am an experienced physical scientist.

My education is a B.S. in Aeronautics, a M.S. in Nuclear Engineering and Mathematics, and a Ph.D. in Physics. I was educated at the University of Michigan. My technical career has spanned fifty years of research and development, along with university teaching.

PSYCHISM AND SPIRITUALITY BACKGROUND

Since my youth I have been a highly-functional psychic, with a lifetime of psychic and spiritual experiences -- which I generally keep as a private matter.

I am functional in clairvoyance, psychokinesis (some times), spiritual healing, and other experiences I don't know how to categorize.. I am also functional in remote viewing and dowsing.

I never take money for these abilities, so I have no commercial motives.

"SCIENTIFIC" METHODS

As a physicist I first want to remind the reader that the first principal of science is:

When reason conflicts with experience, experience trumps.

This point is being made due to a number of scientists wanting to reject unusual phenomena that have not passed their rigor of reproducible scientific testing. Denying the experience on this argument is promoted by scientists who like their comfortable belief system of testable reproducibility, and have forgotten the starting foundation of all new physical theories -- experience trumps.

And, there is no reason that unusual phenomena, such as these spiritual and psychic experiences, must be reproducible and testable in this 4-dimensional physical reality. These are assumptions conveniently made. Nice, handy, but not justifiable. Especially with humans.

I note that my wife will not meet the test reproducibility -- but she is very real never the less.

My experiences with spiritual miracles have strongly demonstrated that our space-time physics does not always hold when dealing with spiritual phenomena. Some things occur that are impossible according to our 4-dimensional physics.

There appears merit in the statements of Hindu mystics that this physical existence is an illusion and the real world is the spiritual world.

I have had spiritual-miracle experiences that are impossible, but they did physically occur. Some major spiritual experiences occurred under conditions of close observation that prevented trickery.

I initially struggled with accepting these spiritual experiences because they so violated my physics training. However, I finally accepted the experiences were real, but not explainable within the currently known physics of this physical existence.

• One striking example was a mystic manifested a physical object out of nowhere. This object appeared about one foot in front of my eyes while I was staring at the manifestation point. My wife also witnessed the experience. Trickery was impossible. He gifted us the object afterward as a memento.

• Another example was the healing of a structural defect in a person's skeletal system -- permanently curing a condition that was medically untreatable.

REMOTE VIEWING AND DOWSING

In spiritual healing, and in remote viewing (clairvoyance) and dowsing, I note that I use the same process. It is my experience that they are all the same phenomena, just used for different purposes.

My spiritual healing experiences, and many psychic experiences, all have the clear nature that there is a spiritual interactive consciousness that sometimes responds to my requests with actions and information.

I speculate that this same spiritual consciousness is the source of the information gleaned by remote viewing and dowsing.

Presently none of these psychism and spirituality phenomena are well understood. I believe the problem here is our current research methodologies are constrained by our belief in an immutable physics and space-time reality.


HOW MANY DIMENSIONS ARE ENOUGH?

dimension: One of the group of dimensions, whose number is necessary and sufficient to determine uniquely each element of a system of entities.

So: Are 4-dimensions sufficient for our total existence?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?

To quote Mr. Edwin A. Abbot (1838 - 1926), author of "Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions":

"To
The Inhabitants of SPACE IN GENERAL
And H. C. IN PARTICULAR
This Work is Dedicated
By a Humble Native of Flatland
In the Hope that
Even as he was Initiated into the Mysteries
Of THREE Dimensions
Having been previously conversant
With ONLY TWO
So the Citizens of that Celestial Region
May aspire yet higher and higher
To the Secrets of FOUR, FIVE OR EVEN SIX Dimensions
Thereby contributing
To the Enlargement of THE IMAGINATION
And the possible Development
Of that most rare and excellent Gift of MODESTY
Among the Superior Races
Of SOLID HUMANITY"
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPIRITUALITY
The word "spiritual" is different from the word "religious".
Classical Pantheism:
My usage of the word "spiritual" is close, but not always the same as in Classical Pantheism.
Classical pantheism is expressed in Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Monism, and the New Age, as viewing God in both a personal and a cosmic manner।

The names God, Brahman, and The Conscious (interactive) Universe are interchangeable in my usage।

Classical pantheists believe there is a spiritual basis to all reality. So do many physicists, due to our experiences with quantum physics.
A feature of pantheism is that each individual human is an active part of the Universe or God.

A way to understand this relationship is through the Hindu phrase, tat tvam asi - "that thou art", wherein the human soul/self or Atman is understood to be the same as God or Brahman - only people do not realize it। In this Hindu concept they believe that one must be liberated through enlightenment (moksha) in order to experience and fully understand this relationship - then the part becomes no longer dissimilar from the whole.

God or Brahman or the Conscious Universe is said to be eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and ultimately indescribable in human thoughts and language

(I disagree with the underlined part above, and argue that because God or Brahman has given each human soul free will, God is self-constrained from being omnipotent or "all powerful".
I note that parents are not all powerful over their child, once they give the child some free-will in order for them to gain life experiences and mature।)

The sage-seers (rishis) of the Upanishads (Hindu scriptures) fully realized Brahman as the reality behind their own being and of everything else in this universe। This rishi knowledge is ancient -- from thousand of years before Christ.

• These rishis described Brahman as infinite Being, infinite Consciousness, and infinite Bliss (satcitananda).
• Brahman is regarded as the source and essence of the universe.
• The initial unmanifest state of singularity of the universe is described as a "beyond being and non-being" in the Nasadiya Sukta.
• The Rig Veda says that by the desire of the Supreme Being, the initial manifestation of the material universe came into being from Hiranyagarbha (literally "golden womb"), out of which all worlds, organisms and divine beings (devas) arise.

It is said that Brahman cannot be known by material means, and we cannot be conscious of it because Brahman is our very consciousness.
(I take exception to the underlined portion above, because of my experiences with The Conscious Universe। Over the years, I have had interactive physical experiences with The Conscious Universe many times, demonstrating to me that a human can communicate both ways with The Consciousness Universe.)

THE PSYCHISM and SPIRITUALITY MECHANISM
Based on these experiences in spirituality and psychism, I propose that a Conscious (interactive) Universe is why psychic and spiritual phenomena occur. I propose that:

Psychic and spiritual phenomena are a participatory spiritual connection with The Conscious Universe.

Four-dimensional space-time physics is not immutable when it is involved with spiritual connections।

RESEARCH PROBLEM
Physicists do not know how to measure or detect a spiritual connection except by experience -- which is why we scientists are having so much trouble studying and understanding psychic and spiritual phenomena.

Remote Influencing Experiment

Remote Influencing trials.


As the first in a series of remote influencing experiments on UKRV we aim to trial I tried to remote influence an REG (random event generator) based a few hundred miles away from me.

For this first attempt I attempted to use three differing psychic methods each lasting for 20 minutes within the space of a hours work.

The REG machine compiles a report of the activity (see image) When working normally the line will go up and down generally in the middle of the page/graph - above and below the centre line in between the curved marker।

Mine has the good effect outside the curve near the beginning then generally just stays high and increases high - The best effect though was near the beginning showing a small time of remote influencing on the machine।

I think to be honest trying three completely different psychic methods was too much in such a short time space and watching the clock for the 20 minute time zones didn’t help my focus, but its all experimental and this will be adjusted.

The first 20 minutes was using a deep mediation and a technique discarnate entities taught me about moving part of myself to different places other than me - this worked the best it seems.

The second 20 minutes I went straight into a frontloaded remote viewing of the machine and tried to describe/sketch its internal components.

The third 20 minutes I went straight into Qui Gong deep breathing exercises - building my energy and trying to push/transfer this towards the machine.

We have much more work to be done and ideas for trial and potential uses so watch this space over the coming months.

Remote Viewing the Steve Fossett disappearance

On this blog in September of 2007 we posted a single session and blind analysis from a group of civilian remote viewers, and their attempt at finding out what happened to Steve Fossett. Click here to read the original post.

As with ALL remote viewing - it can only be real Remote Viewing and fully evaluated with feedback, and with the latest discoveries of articles the plane and a crash site a picture is now starting to emerge of what happened that fateful day.

With this in mind the members of The Aurora Group - a civilian remote viewing group working operational and humanitarian projects, have given me permission to post all the blind remote viewing sessions and blind analysis.

Aurora-Steve Fossett RV sessions - (click to view or download).

As with all Rv there is both accurate and inaccurate data, but overall i think you'll agree the picture from the viewers and the analyst is close to the emerging picture.

REMOTE VIEWING HINTS

REMOTE VIEWING HINTS By James Burnett, Ph. D., P.E.

*note: [ I have been given permission to release this from a contact of mine James Burnett - Daz Smith]

Purpose:
Provided here is practical information on doing the remote viewing process. It will help beginners wanting to improve their performance.

For more information on remote viewing, I suggest the books listed at the end of this article.

Teachers:
My teachers were Dr. Keith Harary and Dr. Russell Targ, formerly of the STARGATE Remote Viewing Program at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).

Proficiency:
I have practiced remote viewing for years, and experienced steady improvement in performance while doing a lot of double-blind viewings. Practicing allowed me to find a good personal viewing procedure and to learn to recognize an incoming signal. There are probably as many different procedures for remote-viewing as there are proficient viewers.

People find a viewing procedure that works best for them. I will give you mine. At this point my viewings, done with double-blind setups and independent judging, deliver a success of about 90%. About 1 in 10 of my viewings has very high detail.

RV Pictures:
I receive RV data in the form of pictures. What I get is a gradually formed picture, which starts out as a vague image on the "inner screen", which some people think of as the location of the "third eye".
Then, the picture gradually fills in with more detail and color. I interrupt during a viewing and sketch and write comments on what I have seen so far. Then, I go back to the viewing process -- which does not seem adversly affected by the interruption.

It takes me patience to view successfully. Commonly, five minutes or more will pass before any image starts to appear. Then, it might take another five minutes or more for the picture data to fully fill in. During the viewing, I commonly interrupt and add to the sketch as many as three times, plus once more after the end of the viewing. When the picture stops filling in more details, the viewing is effectively done.

About one in ten times, I will get a very high detail colored picture -- nearly a photograph. It might have to do with how well I kept my objective mind's thinking away from the viewing process.

The rest of my viewings (except the high detail viewings) appear as a "cartoon". (See Figure 1. below). I have always thought it weird that The Universe chooses to communicate in the form of these cartoons, but there you are. In viewings where I get cartoon responses, the cartoons are usually unclear on what they represent. They become obvious when examined against the double-blind targets by the judges.

In real target viewing with a cartoon response, one has partial data on the target. So, data is usually needed from more than one viewer to try to fill in more of the details.

Cartoon Data Example:
This article shows only one cartoon example, because this particular cartoon demonstrates fully the nature of these cartoons. Figure I is a cartoon picture I received in a double-blind practice exercise. My interpretation comments, at the bottom of the sketch, were added after the viewing ceased.

One cannot interpret the data during an on-going viewing, because the intervention of the objective mind kills the viewing connection immediately. This target first gradually filled in as the outline shape. Then, the purple field filled in. Then, the holes appeared. That was it.

Figure 2 is the practice target viewed, which turned out to be a picture of a dead body. So, it is possible to RV a picture of a dead body. I do not know if that means that one can RV a dead body, rather than the picture as I did.

FIGURE 1:




FIGURE 2:
ACTUAL DOUBLE-BLIND TARGET: "OTZI -- THE ICEMAN"
"Ötzi" was found by two hikers in 1991 in the Italian Alps. The body was at first thought to be a modern corpse. He was then determined to have died about 3300 B.C., and has been preserved by the ice since then.


Bias:
I note a bias in my viewings.

I see physical objects and fire from the target, but do not see the live people. In one viewing, I did see the dead body which was the target. A professional-psychic female associate saw the live people in the same viewing exercise. But, she did not see the fire, and not much of structure.

It seems viewers have different sensitivities when viewing the same target at the same time. This is another reason for using several viewers on a real target.

Recognizing a Good Signal:
Oddly, I found that a reliable indicator for me of a successful viewing going on is that my mind whispers to me: "You have got it wrong; you are going to look like a fool if you take this as a good viewing." Those were the times when I got a really good viewing. It seems my mind does not like the RV process, and I have to struggle with that situation.

Avoiding Mind Interference:
An important part of the viewing procedure is to keep my thinking mind from entering and trying to "help". It must remain only in the role of an observer and recorder. Once my thinking mind enters the process, the viewing immediately ceases. It was a struggle until I learned to make an arrangement with my mind at the start of the viewing process.

My personal viewing initiation process:
When I do a viewing I always begin by saying to my inner mind these statements:

"It is okay that this viewing does not work, as long as I do the process correctly." "I draw whatever comes in; I do not try to understand it." "Thinking Mind please act only as an observer, and please do not help otherwise. Thank you." "Please show me the information in present time." (Or, future or past time.) "Please show me the Target now."

This viewing initiation procedure works for me, and resulted in a big improvement in my viewing results.

Targeting:
In practice situations, the double-blind targets are randomly selected by some device just before being read. No human knows what the target is until after the viewing is complete. In such practicing, SRI found that the viewer only has to say: "Show me the Target now". The viewer does not have to otherwise identify the target in any other way, except to specify time. Somehow, the Universe knows the correct target.

There are sometimes targeting errors during multiple viewings -- such as when the target actually viewed is the one following the one blind-selected to be next viewed. This can occur even though the target-after has not yet been selected. So, the Universe seems to have a view of the future regarding targeting. SRI found out that viewing can easily be out of present time, so the viewer must give an instruction regarding in what time do they want to view.

The time can be highly specific in looking into the past. There are other ways to target, such as coordinates, which are covered in the suggested books. Dr. Harary said that targeting is the greatest mystery of remote viewing.

Putting It Down:
In viewing, if one might be seeing something but is unsure, then, that is the time to start putting it down. That is how it is done. In my case, the picture gradually develops. If a viewer starts judging whether or not they are seeing a real target, then the thinking mind gets into it and kills the viewing.

Practice:
Practice, with a lot of double-blind readings and independent judging, does the most to improve one's proficiency.

Remote Viewing the Nina Reiser murder

Remote Viewing the Nina Reiser murder

As one of the remote viewers who worked this project I would like to share this final report with you (I did not author this report).

This is a story about the disappearance of the mother of two young children, in Oakland, California, a city of 420,000 people, across the Bay from San Francisco. Oakland is known for many things – sharing the Bay Area with San Francisco, its exceptionally sunny weather, its vibrant multi-ethnic mix, its professional sports teams - the Raiders and the A's - and for its very high murder rate. It is not known for the disappearance of mothers in the Oakland hills.

The main thrust of this report is to follow the history of the disappearance of this young woman named Nina Reiser, including the efforts to find her, both conventional and with remote viewing, the trial that resulted, and the surprising aftermath.

We will present the story as it developed. You will see the deployment of remote viewing by a professional team and get a good sense of how a remote viewing project unfolds. Both verbal and graphic data from remote viewing sessions will be included. We will present the large amount of relevant data that a team can produce while not consciously knowing what the objective (or target) is. We will also show some of the challenges such a project faces and difficulties that arise as the remote viewing data is received by the project manager. We will include the considerable amount we got right, and an important facet that we got wrong.

This report shows the blind remote viewing work of a small dedicated team of remote viewers and an outside dowser as they try to piece together this complex missing person case, that has now transformed into a murder and recovery case. The remote viewers work together using differing methods and styles and are located all over the world.

Part of the UK MOD 1000 page remote viewing / Psychotronics file

Sorry its been so long but here is the scanned documents that I received form the UK MOD of the non public material form the 1000 page remote viewing file form DI51 (Defence Intelligence 51).

It mainly seems to be email discussions about Morphogenetic fields and nonlocality but I'm sure there is someone out there who will find it very interesting.

The report that started the American psychic spying program.

Whilst searching the Net I just found a released FOIA document that I havent seen before that may just be the starting point of the American remote viewing effort now generally grouped and classed as Stargate. I haven't seen this document in the Stargate FOIA archives and I have in the past read about why the Americans started a Psispy effort - this document seems to actually be the reason why.

Date: 1973
Owner: Rand Corporation
Author: P.T. Van Dyke & M.L Juncosa
Report/Assessment

The purpose of the 33 page document was to determine whether paranormal phenomena existed, how the Russians were investigating it and how this tallied with American efforts.

There is a section which is a little disturbing - i will leave you to find out why, its titled 'Possible Military Applications'.

The final reports conclusions include the point that was I feel the one that kick started the SRI effort and the American Remote viewing program.

IF paranormal phenomena do exist, the thrust of soviet research appears more likely to lead to explanation, control and application than is U.S. research.

The full RAND REPORT can be downloaded from here - and comes from the source files of Sergeant Cliffford Stone.

DI51 1000 pages in Remote viewing files...

As part of my research about Remote viewing I have been looking into the UK MOD and British Military Intel, especially in the time period below of which there is a reference in the US CIA FOIA documentation release where a member of the STARGATE remote viewing unit met and brief officers from DI55 - the alleged UFO/Strange department of UK military intelligence.

To do this I have been using the UK FOIA to try to release some of this information.
A recent reply to one of these requests is enclosed and details branches of Defence Intelligence have a 1000 page document on remote viewing and PSI activities.

Thank you for your email of 17th October, which you submitted to the Info Access
Office of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), in which you asked the MOD for information on:
‘any files held by DI55 or the Departmental Records Officer which would have been open during 1994 that contain the terms 'Anomalous Mental Phenomena' or terms or acronyms with a similar meaning within the title such as: psychic, remote viewing, remote action, ESP, PSI, Stargate’. Your request has been considered as a request for information under the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

Following an extensive search of records held by the Defence Intelligence Staff and the Departmental Records Office, two files have been identified which contain the specified terms and acronyms in their titles. Their reference numbers are: DI51/GO21 and DI51/GO28. It has not been possible to establish when the files were opened, but they were closed and archived in 1999 and together contain almost one thousand pages, so they might have been open in 1994. The vast majority of the documents in the files are copies of papers which are already in the public domain, consisting of cuttings and articles from magazines, newspapers and the internet related to distance viewing and other psychic phenomena.

All the best...

Ingo Swann on remote viewing

Well, remote viewing began in December, 1971, and from that date thence proceeded to become something of an historical phenomenon.
I have lived through the whole of it until today -- and can bear witness to the fact that EVERYTHING ever written about it is not only garbled, but often "imaginative," and sometimes erroneous, motive-laden, misdirecting and even deceitful. And this includes media, popular articles, books and videos, commentary from government agencies and from the CIA.

Simulating the universe - my theory on the Remote viewing mechanism

How the magic happens.

I sit here in a fairly blank room at a desk waiting for the world around me to collapse inwards and the target to reveal itself. Each breath deepens my withdraw from the physical world as I slip into my cool down meditation.

I’m nearly there now – everything feels distant, the sound of children playing in the street outside muffles into the background, the feeling in my arms and legs fades and starts to leave me without form, this is when I know I’m ready to remote view and I can almost feel the target pulling and tugging at an elastic connection where my third eye should be – the target is ready to be explored.

The target for today in half way around the world from me, 3,000 miles away to be more exact. We are remote viewers and not superman we don’t actually zip across 3000 miles of time and space to the physical target and touch it with transparent fingers caressing it to find its sensory details, But sitting here in my room I can access imprinted data about that remote place in tiny ripple like waves of impressions. This information about the target is all around us and available to all of us.

The good news.

Science is finally catching up with the seer. Quantum physics and theories like the holographic universe theory, now present a scenario where remote viewing and psychic become normal traits of a world where everything is connected in time and space. Everything in the universe and beyond is connected. A non physical web of non local interconnectedness carries information to and from the far reaches of space as and when they are called by our thoughts and our intentions.

So here I am, relaxed, ready, and with the mere action of thought – whoosh I am instantaneously immersed in a pool of information about my request, the target.

This is where I must clarify, we don’t actually go to the target, but as we have access to all information about the target. Parts of the brain, including Mirror Neurons try to sympathise with the target and using our collected life experiences and memories to date we build a simulation of the target in our minds piece by piece.

“The human brain has multiple mirror neuron systems that specialize in carrying out and understanding not just the actions of others but their intentions, the social meaning of their behaviour and their emotions. Mirror neurons allow us to grasp the minds of others not through conceptual reasoning but through direct simulation. By feeling, not by thinking."1

Also that gut feeling you have, the intuitive one that steers you in the right direction – mirror neurons. These have now been found surrounding the heart tissue. 40,000 of them directly communicating with the brain – this is called ‘the little brain in the heart’ and these neurons seem capable of short and long term memory

Now the bad news.

Yes everything is connected ad we can as humans, chill out and drop ourselves into a living expanding Internet of data. The problem is we all crave full broadband speed and quality – streaming full screen video like data with sound, yet we don’t yet have an internal broadband modem and the data tries to stream through to us from the target in spits and spurts form a much smaller connection – not unlike one of the first modems at speeds of 14,00kbps.

Yes we have access to any and all the information in the universe – the downside is the present connection can only accommodate something like these old Internet modems (4kb per second). For those of you non technical a standard website image 6cm by 6cm will be anything from 10 - 60kbs. This interprets to 3 – 18 seconds to fully build the picture. Because the data pipe is so limited the image or in our case target information has to come down in small parts , chunks or clusters of data. We then have to recompile the separated small parts of data at our end to recreate the image of the target. That’s OK we at least have a connection. We may have to wait longer and work a little more to build our final pictures but it’s a connection after all. Just work with what you’ve got.

Back to the remote viewing or simulating the target.

I’m sat there pen on paper initiating contact by the mere thought of the target. Bang it’s there – In an instant a snapshot of the target has been communicated. It was fast, really fast, like an inserted 1 frame subliminal image in a movie, I saw it but didn’t really see it – this was a gestalt or in internet/broadband terms a preview image – a small glimpse of the real thing, just enough to get a sense of something – colour, shape of general form. This I record with gusto using the ingenious ideogramatic language I have now adopted as my own. This you can see as my hand possessed of its own actions speeds across the page creating beautiful arcs and forms as it moves to interpret this instantaneous snapshot of the target into a swirl of lines.

I move on through the acclimatising stages of a learnt RV method approach to remote viewing. Each stage building the intensity of the data by pure weight of accumulated data. In the mid stages of the learnt method, the singular pieces of data start to come faster and in clusters of two or more impressions when I key myself by saying ‘what doe the target feel like when I touch it’;

‘Cold, hard, solid, angled’

You see I’m not actually touching the real target, but form the interconnectedness we have to all things I know what it would be like if I did touch it and from inside of me memories of me touching something like the target are called into play and used in the simulation. The whole act of remote viewing is building a simulation of the ‘actual’ remote target from past experiences. The mirror neurons see the snapshot of data and try to mirror or mimic this target data with our remembered and stored experiences. These Mirror neurons which could be our key or the root to being psychic could also be part of our downfall in remote viewing (more later).

Creating or simulating scenarios using mirror neurons is a normal everyday activity for us all, we all sit there and think/create a scenarios in our minds of what might unfold as we prepare dinner later that evening, or what might occur in the forthcoming business meeting. Our minds construct and play out the scenarios thousands of times a day, all using stored experiences and memories to predict an outcome or remote view a future event in our lives.

Anyway back to the viewing….

Like the old days of the Internet parts of my internal processes wait and watch as an image of the target stats to form in the deep places of my mind. Line by line, piece by piece like the old interlaced images on the Internet, the target image slowly and randomly reveals itself and indistinct parts of it start to make sense in the chaos of the emerging image.

Then more data clusters come through;

‘Tall, linear, red, structure’

My mind grapples with this information – somewhere in my internal memory, items are searched and a match is made to the data. But this isn’t an exact match. The mind is seriously trying to copy, mimic and simulate this target and the only tall, red, linear structure I have experienced is the Eiffel tower.

Before I know it this semi fitting piece of simulated data is inserted into my picture and simulation. I know as a feel ling from my internal snapshot that is developing of the target, that it’s not quite right – there nothing big enough for the Eiffel Tower to fit in to here – no other data seems to match it. So I can if I catch it right, I mark it as an AOL (Analytical overlay) – a guess but one that does hold some correct information about the target.

This is the problem or flaw with remote viewing. The mirror neurons are prone to adding to the simulation of the actual target data that is a very close match but not a 100% match I personally feel that this is due to the desire of the viewer to want to get the target named, once it’s named it feels more real and physical. This desire over time can be overcome and trained out by the viewer and the need to have the final naming recedes allowing for AOL’s to be less and also less harmful.

In a nutshell –the universe is all connected which means we can know anything about everything anywhere. When we think or active our intent towards a target this then stimulates the Mirror neurons to mimic and create a simulation of the target .Using our learnt and remembered experiences, a picture of the target is simulated at a distance. If we don’t have all the correct experiences sometime the next best memory/experience we have is used in the simulation which causes AOL or small errors.

So there you have it, after ten years of doing it every week these are my present thoughts on the remote viewing mechanisms - Given this I also have some thoughts on improving your remote viewing and or Remote viewing in general;

Games – computer games where you play in computer simulated worlds I feel enhance the development of remote viewing. The mind after a time gets used to creating 3D simulated environments. Ask any gamer who has played a map for a hour – in their mind they can in 3D move around and simulate that map and act out scenarios.

Experiences – Remote viewing and probably ALL psi abilities are linked to learnt experiences. We bring to the table what we have learnt in life. This is why we are always better at remote viewing targets we have actually been to and experienced in real life – the data is always richer and more positive form these. This is not just my personal experiences but has been noted time and time again. This is because the simulation is using data that is a 100% match to recreate the simulation by the mirror neurons.

So to be a better remote viewer experience and observe more. It’s another reason why feedback is so important to remote viewing – feedback allows data to be recognised and stored as experiences for you to use again. So go out into the world and touch more objects, feel and observe the textures and the sensations. Build that library of experiences especially the sensory experiences.

Words – learn more – the more ways you can express, simulate the data that is crying out to you the more accurate you will be with remote viewing and simulating the target. Expand you vocabulary and you expand your remote viewing capabilities.

Finding the best remote viewers – this process might be best determined by finding the people who have the bigger/better Mirror neuron systems. Coincidentally there are I would say more men remote viewers than women there may be a good reason for this. Men are very visual they like to watch things. Of course this is one of the reasons why porn is so prevalent. But mirror neurons maybe at play here as well.

“In yet another realm, mirror neurons are powerfully activated by pornography, several scientists said. For example, when a man watches another man have sexual intercourse with a woman, the observer's mirror neurons spring into action. The vicarious thrill of watching sex, it turns out, is not so vicarious after all.”*1

Maybe there are more male remote viewer not because of porn, but because men are generally more visual – who knows but its food for thought.
