Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the

shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a

greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any

physical disncon, but because we are carried high and raised up

by their giant size.

nanos gigantum humeris insidentes

This is how I would like to start this new

endeavour eight marnis, to recognise

some of those individuals who have gone

before us and who paved the way for us

to expand the ART of remote viewing, to

what it has become today.

Ingo Swann, Hal Putho, Russell Targ,

Hella Hammid, Pat Price, Ed May, John Al-

exander, The Military Remote Viewers,

The SRI Viewers & team, Cleve Baxter,

Stephen Schwartz, George McMullen and

many unnamed others who have helped

Remote viewing in its birth and early de-velopment to where it is today.

Welcome to the rst issue of eight

marnis. This magazine has been the

germ of an idea of mine for a few years

now. This idea is to share in full the

remote viewing work of people who are

actually using Remote viewing on a daily

basis to solve problems and to look at the

universe around us.

For the past eight years I have personally

had the pleasure of working with some ofthe best and consistent remote viewers

in the public domain sharing and working

on complex projects and experiments.

This magazine is for these people,

so its not necessarily going to have

theorecal or sciencally sound arcles

& theories from PhDs although some of

the writers are and will, it s going to have

real remote viewing examples, thoughts

and ideas from praconers of remote

viewing who want to share with other

praconers.

We hope you will all join us in our

endeavours to explore this complex andlife altering subject of remote viewing

and more importantly to share ndings,

ideas, informaon, and more importantly

working examples of remote viewing.

All the best

A New Scienc Experiment Involving

Predicon and Mulple Universes

Predicng the future has been one of

the most dicult things to do with re-

mote viewing. People always say that

if you can remote view, what will hap-

pen at some point in the future? Many

have tried to use remote viewing to an-

swer that queson, and some have oc-

casionally met with success. But to date,

only one experimental design has ever

worked consistently to correctly pre-

dict the future. We now have an idea

why that parcular experimental design

works, and why other experimental de-

signs do not work as well. The reason

may have to do with the existence of

mulple universes, and we now have a

way to test for this directly.

Remote Viewing the Future: A Way ThatWorks Design A

The experimental design that consis-

tently works well to predict the future

involves having the target chosen in the

future. That is, a remote viewer is told to

conduct a remote-viewing session. The

target for that session does not yet ex-

ist. The session is conducted, and then

stored, oen made available for pub-

lic download as an encrypted le. The

person choosing the target is not given

access to the remote-viewing session.

Eventually, say, a week or more later,

the person assigned to pick a target for

the remote-viewing session (a tasker

or targeteer) does so. The target is

revealed, and the session is taken from

storage or decrypted, and the session

data are compared with the actual tar-

get. In this type of situaon, where the

target is determined in the future, the

remote-viewing session tends to cor-

rectly predict the chosen target. It is

also possible to use a truly random pro-

cess that occurs in the future to pick the

target from a pool of targets. The key is

that the target is determined aer the

remote-viewing session is completed.In the current experiment, we will be

adding a new element to this design by

placing the target event between the

viewing and the tasking mes, which is

explained further below.

Remote Viewing the Future: A Way That

Oen Does Not Work Design B

Let us say that a remote viewer is as

to conduct a remote-viewing sess

The session is always done blind,

course, which means that the remo

viewer does not know the target. Bu

us say that the target is a certain p

at a certain point in me in the futu

That is, the tasker or targeteer has de

mined the target now, and this perso

subsequently asking the remote-vie

to produce a session that describes t

target at that future me.

This type of experimental design

been shown to have a very high rate

failure. That is, the remote-viewing

sion will likely describe a future t

does not turn out to be true. We h

long wondered why this type of exp

mental design does not work well.

now think we may know why this hpens. It is possible that when we rem

view the future using this type of exp

mental design, we open ourselves up

remote-viewing the future as it exist

alternate realies, and which realit

perceived by the remote viewer is pr

abiliscally determined and inuen

by subtle mental biases and cues. To

this, we need to set up an experiment

that eliminates this possibility, and then

see if such a new experimental design

works. That is, we need to set up an ex-

perimental design that would allow for

one and only one future to be selected

from a multude of alternave futures.

Remote Viewing the Future in the Con-

text of Mulple Universes

For many years the physics commu-

nity has contemplated the existence of

alternate realies, or universes other

than our own. The idea of mulple uni-

verses commonly occurs in discussions

of quantum mechanics, and was origi-

nally proposed by Hugh Evere in 1956

(the so-called many worlds theory) as

a possible explanaon for experimental

results involving the two-slit experi-

ment. But unl now, no one has ever

devised an experimental approach totest for the existence of these mulple

universes.

Beginning in January of 2009, a group of

remote viewers ulizing three separate

methodologies (CRV, HRVG, and SRV)

have begun an experiment designed by

Dr. Courtney Brown that will directly test

for the existence of mulple universes

while using remote viewing to predict

future events. This will be an excing

opportunity to see remote viewing in

acon within the context of an impor-tant scienc study that may have pro-

found implicaons to our understanding

of physical reality. As with many of our

studies, this will involve public parcipa-

on. We encourage people to watch the

study unfold as the weeks and months

proceed. There is no need to believe

anything. Just look at the results, and

learn.

The Experiments Design Predicng a

Future Event

If there are mulple universes, then

it should be possible to select one and

only one universe out from all of the al-

ternate universes if we can ensure that

a parcular mestream that denes the

universe that we want actually exists. (A

mestream is a sequence of events

that occurs in a given universe.) To do

this, we need to target events, and we

need to guarantee that the events ac-

tually happen in the selected universe.

Thus, we need the cooperaon of a per-

son in the future who either directly orindirectly witnesses the actual event and

then denes the target that the remote

viewers are supposed to perceive based

on this informaon.

In the design of this study, remote-view-

ing sessions are being conducted in one

month (call this month #1), and the

target that the remote-viewing sessions

are to describe occur during the next

month (call this month #2). At the end

of month #2, the tasker selects a target

from whatever events may have hap-pened during month #2. For example, let

us say that the remote viewers do their

sessions during the month of February.

Then the tasker waits unl the end of

March to pick a target, and the target

event must be one that occurs in March.

By using this experimental design, we

are ensuring that the target event actu-

ally occurs in a given mestream. Thus,

we are bookending the me between

when the remote-viewing sessions are

done and when the target is selected,

and we are guaranteeing that the target

event actually occurs between those two

mes (otherwise the tasker would not

have known about the event). By this

method, we are selecng one and only

one mestream or universe from all al-

ternate mestreams or universes, and

this selected mestream is the one that

contains the given event that constutes

the target.

The Hypothesis: If there are mulple

universes, then the accuracy of predic-

ons based on remote-viewing data as-sociated with an experimental design

that organizes the sequence of events

from rst to last as (1) viewing me, (2)

target event, (3) tasking me will be sig-

nicantly greater than the accuracy of

predicons made when the sequence

of events from rst to last is (1) tasking

me, (2) viewing me, (3) target event.

Then the existence of mulple universes

is the cause of the relave failure of the

laer design since that design does not

guarantee the selecon of one and only

one mestream.

The applicaons are endless and only

limited by the viewers imaginaon or

agenda. CRV can be used for the highest

good as well as for the lowest purposes.

Thus the queson is not so much about

ethics per se but about the value system

of the viewer. Ethics is the collecon of

a set of values. A murderer can operate

within his own set of ethics whereby kill-

ing is an acceptable value. Therefore it

does not suce to speak of ethics but

rather of values.

Thus the transformaon of CRV from

a tool to applicaons, or operaons,

should entail a phase of looking at ones

values and asking the following ques-

ons: Where are my boundaries? What

is acceptable and what is an intrusion?

On the subject of ethics, I have also

wondered how trainers teach this art

and science to just anyone who applies

for the courses. The basic CRV concept

is extremely powerful and once the me-

chanics of this skill are understood and

developed, the applicaons go beyond

mere viewing.

But I digress. This arcle is about CRV

applicaons and how CRV can be used in

our professional lives. My CRV training

was done with Lyn Buchanan from Basicto Advanced. I had already been trained

in radiesthesia and have been opera-

onal in radiesthesia since the late 80s.

I felt however that there was something

else, another complementary technique

that would enhance my skills. When I ar-

rived in the US I read about CRV and im-

mediately knew that this was what I was

looking for. CRV oered a structure

educated me in the technology of

CRV process so that combined with

radiesthesia knowledge, it would t

me a step further and yield high qua

results.

I have been using a combinaon of C

and radiesthesia technique that va

from using the CRV protocol 100% to

ing parts of it and complemenng w

pendulum work and radiesthesia pciples. Although in my early operao

days I focused mostly on medical ap

caons using only radiesthesia, onc

was trained in CRV I developed my

eraonal work into diverse business

eas: acquisions, hiring, matching r

candidates with the right organizao

culture, idenfying technical problem

CRV is a powerful tool, and like any tool the implicaons of itsuse depend upon how it is used and by whom.

eas in R&D, idenfying future trends for

markeng, choosing commercial proper-

es to develop, negoaon, team build-

ing, etc

I probably should menon that my pro-

fessional prole is very main-stream as

I have an MBA and Doctoral degree but

I have yet to meet a strategy consultant

who is also a remote viewer! So the ques-

on is, do I use these CRV skills overtly or

covertly? It depends. I have clients who

understand CRV/radiesthesia and ask

me to do what they call in their accept-

able language, intuive readings on their

business. In other cases, I do not tell my

clients that I use CRV/radiesthesia. They

hire me for results and are only interest-

ed in the convenonal business analysis

tools. In this case, the CRV skill is what I

consider a compeve advantage.

The method I use depends upon the na-ture of the informaon the client is seek-

ing. Lets take the example of a client

who is trying to decide whether or not

to buy a company. In this case I would

start with the CRV protocol and gener-

ate as many ideograms as possible and

proceed through the dierent phases

unl I get an indicaon that the ow of

informaon is speeding up and I cannot

keep up whilst connuing with the pro-

tocol at which point I draw a line in my

session and indicate that I am deviang

from the protocol and into an alternave

technique. In my view, the value of gen-

erang ideograms and going through P2,

P3, P4 is that it focuses the informaon

on important issues or informaon. It is

then up to me to know where and how

to probe further.

Once I enter the eld of the target, my

radiesthesia skills oen take over and I

can view, travel, examine, much more

rapidly and obtain more detail without

going through some of the Ps. I thus

quickly obtain a broader scope of infor-

maon as well as more depth in details.

It is as if the P1, P2, and somemes P3

open the door to the target and then I

go in with another set of tools. With

my business background I know which

quesons to ask and where to look. The

ideograms and sketches usually gener-

ate informaon about the major issues

and give me an indicaon of the general

direcon.

In this technique there is a very impor-

tant phase before I write the summary

and that is what I call the Disconnect. I

write a very raw summary no interpre-

taon just the raw data I have harvest-

ed. And then I leave it for hours, maybe

a day and dont think about it. The Dis-

connect enables the brain to process

and synthesize the raw data without the

conscious trying to meddle and create a

story. I then do what I call my summary

session, whereby I go back into session,

take the coordinates, and use my radies-

thesia skills to connect the dots of the

raw data and write the summary. This

type of work demands a lot of pracce to

ensure that the imaginaon and deduc-

ve processes stay silent and do not in-

terfere and pollute the raw informaon.

Again, CRV is a tool. Using it operaon-

ally means that you use it competently

within a specic context so that you can

communicate the informaon in a for-

mat and style that is aligned with the

clients business language and expecta-

ons. The quality of the informaon re-

ceived in a session will only be as good

as ones probing quesons and therefore

knowledge in that eld is an important

criteria. Thus the quality of the summary

will also depend upon ones understand-

ing of that eld. Operaonal CRV can be

compared to stascal research. You can

obtain volumes of quantave informa-on but if you dont understand what it

means, how to analyze it, and how to

present the results to meet the clients

expectaons, the informaon is useless.

Shiing from CRV pracce sessions into

operaonal work is similar to switching

from pure research work to real world

applicaons. Industry specic knowl-

edge becomes important and the issues

of ethics and moral responsibility must

be connuously revisited.

Remote Viewing from thePerspective of Embodied Mind

What is the relaon between our ordinary perceptual and cogniveprocesses and the remote viewing sense that all of us appear to possess?

This topic has not received a great deal

of aenon in the remote viewing lit-

erature (at least not in the last two

decades), nor in contemporary online

forums. The most extensive online

exploraon appears in Ingo Swanns

Superpowers of the Human Biomind.

In these valuable essays in linguisc

archaeology, Swann discusses our

mulple senses (closer to 17 than 5),

sensory transducers and the limits

of tradional vocabulary in appre-hending and understanding psi in gen-

eral and the remote viewing process in

parcular.

Another approach to understanding

the remote viewing phenomenon is

that of Dr. Edwin May, the well-known

Stanford Research Instute and Cog-

nive Sciences Laboratory researcher

who oversaw approximately 85 per-

cent of the data collecon on remote

viewing in the Stargate program. His

research on remote viewing has looked

into sensory- and brain-related factors

such as skin conductance, alpha band

power, and event-related desynchro-

nizaons (ERDs) as well as other top-

ics. His take on the relaon between

remote viewing and the senses is:

we can measure in the lab that thereare very strong indicators that the way

it (remote viewing) works when you

study it carefully is very much like the

other senses. You know, just to give

you an idea, we can see things that

are changing much beer than we can

see things that are standing sll. You

can easily see why evoluon might

have made us that way, because were

standing at the edge of the grassla

were more interested in the leop

that moved than the grass that didn

The above are approaches taken

two of the foremost pioneer gure

the history of remote viewing. Th

are complementary avenues one co

take as well in trying to understand

relaonship between remote view

and the perceptual senses. One

these is suggested by the ndingsthe Embodied Mind or embod

cognion school of research.

The elds of cognive neuroscien

linguiscs, cognive philosophy, n

ciales within brain research have

years. There is a remarkable wealth of laboratory experiments

and studies in these areas which may help shed light on the

remote viewing process. To date, this recent material (aside

from some brain research) has seldom been introduced into

the remote viewing literature or forums.

In this piece I will focus primarily on the above-menoned Em-

bodied Mind school of thought and its relevance to the remote

viewing process. One aim is to explore whether the Embodied

Mind school provides a useful framework for understanding

and categorizing remote viewing data. I will sketch some of the

main ideas of this school and then look at remote viewing pro-

cesses and pracces in two main areas: a) drawings/sketches

and verbal data, and touch on ideograms and gestalts; and

b) non-literal data (metaphors, analogies, symbols, etc.). The

essay will be in two parts, with the rst part devoted to a) only.

Caveats before proceeding further:

1. The arcle assumes some prior knowledge of remote

viewing. Ten Thousand Roads is a ne remote viewing portal,

an interacve viewing site with an extensive forum, and is an

excellent source of inial informaon for those who have not

yet encountered this subtle, amazing capability.

2. No one understands the ulmate source of remote view-

ing informaon, nor the underlying mind/brain processes that

enable us to acquire this informaon. We see, but are in the

dark. Outside the eld of remote viewing, mainstream mind/brain research itself is chock full of known unknowns and

unknown unknowns guesses, hypotheses and controversy.

Much is wrien but lile is actually understood about how the

approximately 100 billion neurons in our brain (and body) en-

code mental contents. The consensus is there must be a code

or codes, but there is no agreement on what the elements or

paerns of the code might be. Some even dispute that neu-

rons are the right structural unit to focus on.

3. Many cognive researchers do not entertain the possibil-

ity that remote viewing is a real phenomenon; indeed, many

know lile if anything about it. For them, Mind on the Hoof,as one author termed Embodied Mind, implies: no hoof, no

mind. Remote viewing obtains informaon beyond the reach

of the ordinary senses, indicang that mind is not coextensive

with the body. Nonetheless, as I hope to show, there are in-

triguing parallels between Embodied Mind and remote view-

ing, and they may prove to be extremely producve.

Prototyping and Basic Level Eects

Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wigenstein quesoned the clas-

sical concepon of categories when he examined what games

have in common. We see a complicated network of similariesoverlapping and crisscrossing: somemes overlapping similari-

es, somemes similaries of detail. (Wigenstein). Games

may not share a single common characterisc. He suggested

rather that what games have in common is akin to family re-

semblances.

Similar ideas were further explored by Roger Brown in the

late 1950s, and by cognive psychologist Eleanor Rosch in the

1970s, and they have been pursued by many others since.

Rosch described what she termed prototyping eects with

regard to categories. When asked, people say they consider

some members of a category to be more typical members than

others. For example, a robin is felt to be a more typical mem-

ber of the category bird than a penguin or an owl is. Such an

approach contrasts with the centuries-old idea of categories,

in which all members have equal status. There are other im-

portant dierences as well.

Of parcular note for our purposes, Rosch went on to postu-

late what she called basic level eects. These are summa -

rized in the following table by cognive philosopher and lin-

guist, George Lako, another seminal gure in the eld:

Level Category member Category member

Superordinate Animal FurnitureBasic Dog Chair

Subordinate Retriever Rocker

The basic level is of singular interest. Research has shown

that it has the following characteriscs:

- highest level in which category members have similarly

perceived overall shapes

- highest level at which a single mental image can reect

the enre category

- highest level at which a person uses similar motor acons

to interact with category members

- level at which people are fastest at idenfying categorymembers

- level with most commonly used labels for category

members

- rst level named and understood by children

- rst level to enter the lexicon of a language

- level at which most of our knowledge is organized

- level with shortest primary lexemes

(from G. Lako, Women, Fire and Dangerous Things: What

Categories Reveal About the Mind (1987), p. 46.)

The basic level is said to be of primary importance as we

learn about objects in the external world. This applies to our

visual impression of an enty, our ability to draw it, our naming

of it, our body interacon with it, and more. There is a conu-

ence of important characteriscs at this basic level not found

at the other levels. The term used is basic; one might also

have said fundamental or central.

The superordinate and subordinate levels require conceptual-

izaon beyond that of the basic level. They require a further

grasp of categories by the learner; for example, by generaliza-

on in the case of a superordinate category such as furniture,

mammal, or fruit. Or by learning the qualiers of a subordinate

category member such as an Adirondack rocking chair, Pump-

kin Cheesecake ice cream, or a 34 Easton metal baseball bat.

Generally speaking, these two levels require modicaon of

informaon learned at the basic level.

Ideograms, Gestalts and Sketches

Lets connue this exploraon of the possible relevance of this

basic level to remote viewing by taking a look at ideograms.

The great majority of remote viewers have historically used

ideograms, those quickly drawn marks on the paper which are

said to represent essenal informaon about the objecve,

conveyed through the hand by the subconscious, Autonomic

Nervous System, or some other agency. The informaon is in

graphic form, which the remote viewer then decodes during

the session. Ideograms are widely used in those approaches toremote viewing which employ a detailed, structured method.

There is, however, another established approach to remote

viewing, that taken by prominent early researchers such as

Russell Targ and Stephan Schwartz, which eschews complex

structured methods and omits ideograms. It keeps things sim-

pler. Some of the most impressive results ever published have

been obtained with these methods.

It should also be noted that these are two approaches to the

remote viewing discipline, which is based on having a protocol

with the a tasker, viewer, and monitor (if any), all being blind

to the objecve, along with other factors that dene remote

viewing in contrast to other psi endeavors. No one parcular

method denes remote viewing.

Returning to ideograms, Gary Langford, another early re-

searcher, wrote that he believes ideograms are not essenal to

the remote viewing process, a view he once held. In a post on

TKR in 2005, he wrote:

Ideograms and sketching are actually unnecessary, but use

for early stage RV work. The RV world seems to xate on th

because a few of us thought they worked. They do if your g

is 2 or 3 smashing hits out of 10. By a smashing hit, I mean

target has given up all its truths and those truths are known

you in such a fashion that you can communicate them explic

(i.e., no ambiguies)

Langford was for a me a co-researcher with Ingo Swann

Stanford Research Instute, by which me he already ha

successful remote viewing business. He was also coautho

A Suggested Remote Viewing Training Procedure (198

which may be found in the Stargate archives.

Langford did not elucidate whether in the above passage

meant all drawing is totally unnecessary (seems unlikely

whether he meant preliminary, paral sketching is unnec

sary (much more likely). However that may be I will return

the subject of sketching and drawing shortly.

By contrast with this view of Langford and others that id

grams are not necessary, methods such as CRV (Coordin

Remote Viewing, later termed Controlled Remote Viewi

and TDS (TransDimensional Systems) do use ideograms, a

ideograms remain a staple in the eld.

Some CRV instructors (and TDS before it went out of existen

recommend using a parcular set of ideograms provided

the instructor, while others suggest the viewer devise th

own set.

As with so much else in the eld, opinions vary further abwhat an ideogram is, the number of them to use, and what

ideogram conveys. The two CRV manuals in the Stargate

chives disnguish four dierent ideograms. Another piece

the archives (the above Suggested Remote Viewing Train

Procedure) illustrates six common RV Symbols (Bits). T

TDS method, an oshoot of CRV, employed six ideograms (s

ject, structure, water/rippled surface, land/at surface, mo

tain/peaked surface, and energy. These six in turn dier fr

the six listed in the Hubbard-Langford paper. Such an acco

plished CRV viewer as Daz Smith uses nine ideograms. Th

is, then, quite a range of views about the number and nat

of ideograms, including whether they are necessary at all. A

successful remote viewing, including client applicaons,

been done with and without them.

A hallmark of ideograms is that they are said to capture a

stalt. This German term (form, complete paern or con

raon) is dicult to translate and the word gestalt has be

used with various meanings inside and outside remote vie

ing.

One meaning of gestalt deriving from the Berlin school of

gestalt psychology is the idea that we perceive objects as

wholes and that these percepons cannot be reduced to more

fundamental elements of percepon such as color.

When it is asserted that the percepons cannot be reduced to

more fundamental elements of percepon such as color, the

meaning I take is that if I look at the yellow decoraons on my

Chinese teacup, for example, I cannot unsee the cup itself.

Colors and the other elements cannot be selected out from

the cup. Once we open our eyes, we see the enre object. We

cannot see just the color or other perceptual aspects of the

object and them alone.

Research into the visual system, the most extensively studied

perceptual modality, shows that we build up the image of an

object through many complex stages of visual processing, with

forward and back propagaon of signals, in various regions

and along various pathways in the brain. This all goes on sub-

consciously. But if we have our eyes open (and are awake), we

perceive the enre object, the gestalt, the cup. We cannot do

otherwise. We can focus on the handle, we can focus on the

color. But when we focus on the color, we sll perceive the

handle or enre cup. If we focus on the handle we do not un-

perceive the cup.

This raises interesng inial quesons: In what ways does the

remote viewing informaon come in? Does the remote view-

ing process parallel that of regular percepon in signicant

ways? Does it make a dierence if one draws gestalts (gestalt

in the above sense) early in the session rather than drawing

or verbalizing perceptual elements rst and then drawing or

verbalizing the gestalt at a later stage? Does the usefulness of

the resulng data depend more on the characteriscs of the

viewer than on a dierence in method?

Consider also the implicaons of these remarks by David

Ritchie, one of the embodied cognion researchers:

In the perceptual neural system, percepons, including per-

cepons of language and other communicave acts, are l -

tered, combined, and aggregated at a series of levels, begin-ning with raw percepons, all the way up to the coherent

mul-sensory objects we experience. Only these, the most

highly aggregated and unitary percepons, are ordinarily ac-

cessible to conscious aenon. Barsalou (1999) argues that a

conceptual neural system parallels and is capable of parally

simulang and interacng with the funcons of the per-

ceptual neural system at every level. (emphasis added) The

perceptual neural system includes states and experiences

internal to the body as well as cognive states such as abstract

reasoning and emoons; the conceptual neural system in-

cludes simulators that generate simulaons of the same full

range of experience, including thoughts, internal body states,

muscular acon, and emoons. David Ritchie, Context-Limit-ed Simulaon Theory of Metaphor

Is there in fact a parallel conceptual neural system...interact-

ing with the funcons of the perceptual neural system at ev-

ery level? If so, this could have important implicaons for the

remote viewing process.

This is just one of many implicaons from the research that in-

vites further study by those in the remote viewing community.

There are fascinang avenues to pursue -- were there signi -

cant funding to undertake such research on remote viewing.

(Federal smulus funds would be welcome indeed!)

(As an aside, presumably the above passage means that there

may be subconscious conceptual (or cognive) processes.

Some may decline to entertain the possibility of subconscious

cognion; it has many backers in the literature, however. In

fact, my impression is that it is the dominant view.)

Returning to the main thread, recall that the basic level is the

level at which category members have similarly perceived

overall shapes and at which a single mental image can reect

the enre category. This suggests that the basic level does

capture a gestalt; specically, a shape (graphic form) that is

representave of the objecve

However, it is also the case at the basic level that the image

is associated with (more specically, named by) a parcular

word. The image is correlated in the mind with the word dog,

for example. When a child sees a hairy four-legged creature

of a certain size, and with a big nose and a licking tongue, it

learns the word that signies the thing before its eyes is dog.

It also associates the smell, feel, and sounds of the creature

with dog; here we are focusing on image and word.

The child does not at rst know (or think) the creature is an

animal, and most likely does not know it is a mammal. Such

dog idencaon, passive recognion, takes place when thechild is babbling but not yet speaking.

In this theory, the levels are not xed. The child may rst learn

the creature is Spot, a term at the subordinate level, rather

than dog. But the child usually soon learns there are other

Spots and that they are all dogs, and then dog becomes

the basic level category member. Spot then becomes the

subordinate level member. It is only later that the child learns

that dogs and cats are both animals (the superordinate level).

Sll later, the child learns categories like mammal or living

creature, as the child climbs the ladder of generality. The

three levels (superordinate, basic and subordinate) are not

xed but do reect the general tendency of when they are

learned.

To see further how this mayshed light on remote view-

ing, I will focus on a remote

viewing process known

as the TDS method. This

method has produced many

ne sessions, both in the

past and presently. It is not

being taught at this me,

as far as I am aware, since

TransDimensional Systems

closed in 2003. The Aurora

RV Group (of which I am a

member) has praconers

of TDS, CRV, ERV and other

methods. Each viewer uses

a variant of these methods,

customized over the years. Variants of the CRV method are

the most common in the eld at present.

In the TDS method you rst do three scans of the objecve,

also known as the target, one scan per page. Each scan begins

by wring the tag on the paper and drawing the ideogram

spontaneously produced just aer you write the tag. You then

seek to get low level informaon such as the density of the

object/target and the relevant topology by probing - physi-cally touching the ideogram with pen or non-wring hand.

You may also seek to discern elementary data from the main

senses color, temperature, smell, sound, etc. You write

down the sensory (or other) impressions you receive in each

scan. Then in the concluding part of each scan, you draw a

simple sketch of the objecve, or that part of the objecve

which the scan has focused on. Each scan may focus on a dif-

ferent aspect of the objecve, e.g. a person in one scan, a

building in another.

Later in the session one does a General Sketch incorporat-

ing the earlier drawings from the scans. One may also do

sketches later in the session.

Having been trained intensively in this method and having

seen about 1000 sessions ulizing the method or variants

of it, I believe it correlates well with this nding by cognive

research of basic level eects. The TDS method of doing an

early sketch of a whole, a gestalt, rather than say a few rudi-

mentary lines, bits or pieces of the objecve, is in accord with

producing a basic level image.

This is not to say that a viewer may not draw pieces, b

indisnct shapes relang to the objecve in each scan.

observaon though is that more oen viewers draw obje

or enre parts of objects which fall into the basic level cate

ry. And they do so early in the session in each scan as w

as in the General Sketch and perhaps later as well. (I will

speak here of what goes on in CRV or other methods, sin

have seen and evaluated far fewer of these kinds of sessio

This would be an interesng topic to research.)

These ndings of what occurs at the basic level provide o

explanaon of why remote viewing, whatever method

used, is able to get parcular kinds of data, both graphic a

verbal, but has diculty geng more specic data. We d

or use words to describe a person or objects or locaon,

can seldom idenfy the specic person, object or place.

can get informaon indicang the objecve is an import

middle-aged male, with a polical context, but it is hard

whether it is FDR, HST, or LBJ. In other words, geng inform

This applies whether it is the rst RV session about the obj

ve, done completely blind with only the tag, or a subsequ

session in which the viewer is asked to expand on the lifefo

data she got. However, a related issue is just such par

informed retasking. Are beer results obtained when the

tasking ulizes a superordinate level cue (tell us more ab

the life form, structure, energy on page 3) than a basic le

cue (house, gun, car)? Would frontloading of a basic le

cue lead to too much involvement of the viewers conc

tual apparatus and hence to castle building results? (In

experience in two RV groups, retasking has been done o

at the superordinate level, and this denitely can and odoes produce useful results. I suspect cueing at the basic le

would generally produce unreliable results.)

Further on the superordinate level: we somemes do p

ent our impressions that way. In the summary, for exam

we may only be able to say that we have a sense of a we

on, a structure, or a lifeform, along with some descripto

These are superordinate level concepts. And they are

useful than informaon at the basic level. A client is m

more likely to want informaon at the basic level than at

superordinate level. In fact, the client nearly always wa

informaon at the subordinate level but as, above, thi

extremely hard to obtain.

Another aspect of the light Embodied Mind sheds on the

ces and recesses of remote viewing is the point touched

earlier, that the remote viewing process may have someth

in common with our learning about the outside world as v

young children. The child does not at rst learn the m

descripve name of a basic object (dining room table, kit

en sink, downstairs bathroom toilet, uorescent light),

rather learns the simple basic term: table, sink, toilet, light.

The child too at rst does not understand nor use categories

such as furniture, mammals, and quadrupeds. These come

later in his/her development. So do more specic designaons

such as stainless-steel steak knives, metal coee cups, parquetooring, etc. These last, at the subordinate level. Instead the

child the baby -- rst learns knife, cup, and oor.

To sum up of the rst part of this arcle, the Embodied Mind

approach allows us to go beyond the usual descripons of low

level, high level, and similar terms. It provides us with a

meaningful framework for categorizing and discussing remote

viewing impressions, one based on extensive psychological,

linguisc, developmental, and philosophical invesgaon and

experiments. The three levels of the Embodied Mind school

constute a useful categorizaon of the remote viewing infor-

maon received and manifested by the viewer. The basic level

in parcular is the hub of both Embodied Mind theory andremote viewing data.

Further, the comparison of Embodied Mind and remote view-

ing suggests that some of the perceptual and perhaps cognive

channels remote viewing ulizes may be inmately connected

with our early learning. Not right aer birth, apparently, but in

the early months and years, parcularly as our visual sense and

cognive funcons develop. Interdisciplinary studies might be

able to further elucidate the nature of this connecon.

There is obviously a great deal more to explore on the subject

of remote viewing in relaon to our perceptual channels or

senses. This arcle has just taken a quick look under the hood.

The second part of this arcle will take a look at metaphor,categories of associaon, and related topics as seen through

the lens of the Embodied Mind approach.

The Bible says that there is nothing new

under the sun. Its probably true. New

invenons and discoveries may come up

and we think they are new, but they are

built on older invenons and discoveries,

older knowledge, and on physical princi-

ples which have been with us since the

beginning of me.

The art and science of remote viewing

is one such discovery. It is being taut-

ed as a new ability for mankind, but infact, forms of it have been pracced and

handed down through sociees since

before recorded history. So, whats new

about it?

Well, scienc research techniques

would seem to be what has brought the

intuive ability of man from spooky se-

ance parlors into the modern informa-

on-gathering age. But thats not all

that new, either. People have been re-

searching paranormal abilies for cen-

turies. They have been tesng para-

normals. They have been studying

seers. They have kept copious notes

and analyzed every scrap of informaon

they could gather, all in an aempt to

nd out whats going on in the human

mind when paranormal events occur.

They used the tools they had at the me,but it seemed that the tools which were

available just werent enough to get the

answers.

So, when Ingo Swann and some other re-

searchers of the paranormal got togeth-

er, it looked like just another aempt

to study and gure things out. But this

me, there were some other elds wh

were ripe for use in the study. The

of psychology, psychiatry, physical t

apy, and human behavior, only to na

a few, had been growing and perfec

their work in parallel growth paths. A

then, there was the biggest factor of a

the eld of computer science. W

these new tools were added into

mix, more work could be done. M

data could be gathered and analyzed

shorter period of me. More what-could be asked and answered.

This allowed both Ingo Swann, a m

named Pat Price, and a group of

searchers at Stanford Research Inte

onal to get together and start ask

quesons, collecng data, analy

results, and gaining understanding

a scale never before possible. No new

abilies were being studied and no new

tools were being used. But now the

tools were sharper and could slice thin-

ner and more accurately. The only things

which were new were the understand-

ings gained from the work.

They began to understand that, in order

to get felt but not understood infor-

maon from the subconscious mind up

into the conscious mind, the best path

was through the body. This is why most,

if not all, of the best paranormals

throughout me had employed physical

trance states, dancing, wring, and other

physical acts as they gathered their infor-

maon. The researchers learned from

the maral arts that the subconscious

mind works with and through the body

all the me, but only rarely does it work

directly with the conscious mind. There-

fore, to make remote viewing work best,it needed to be a physical discipline, as

well as a mental one. They learned from

the maral arts that physical repe-

on enhances the path of informaon.

Therefore, remote viewing would work

best if a set of acvies were established

and pracced over and over unl they

became automac.

These ndings, like many of the scienc

advances, were tested rst using mem-

bers of the military. The ndings proved

to be successful. Then, like many scien-

c advances, the military took them

over and made them classied, for its

own use. But all things military come

into the civilian realm sooner or later,

and this eld is no dierent in that re-

spect. In late 1995, the announcement

was made by the CIA that the U.S. mili-

tary had used remote viewing for the

purpose of collecng intelligence on en-

emies of the U.S. The cat was now out

of the bag.

A strange thing has happened since

then, however. The use of the computer

to collect data on remote viewers and

their work either was not adopted by

the public, or was tried and abandoned.

Thats not surprising. The general pub-

lic is sll learning to use computers. For

the public, it is not yet an accepted tool.

The psychological understanding of what

is going on in the mind when successful

remote viewing occurs has generallybeen ignored by the public. Thats not

surprising, either, since the public is not

that well educated yet about the psy-

chology of the human mind. The physi-

cal nature of remote viewing has gener-

ally not been accepted or understood

by the public at large, mainly because

that is also not a part of their daily lives.

The need for documentaon met the

same fate. In general, what happened

within the public sector was that, for the

most part, the name, remote viewing

passed over into the public sector, but

the science of remote viewing did not.

So, where do we stand today? Well the

outlook is not bleak, at all. The fact is that

through the developments in the science

of remote viewing, the general public is

beginning to have a greater understand-

ing of the other sciences which allowed

it to be developed. In all, as more people

learn of remote viewing, and more peo-

ple try to understand it, the more they

will be introduced to the other elds, as

well. The science of remote viewing took

a giant step backwards when it went into

the public sector, but the public sector is

also taking a giant step forward because

of it. The me and tools were right for

sciensts and researchers to understand

remote viewing. It is not yet right for

the general public to understand it. But

the fact that it is out there is changing

that, as well. The tools we need now for

bringing the public into a much fuller un-derstanding of the human mind are the

tools of educaon, public relaons, and

the proper adversing techniques to let

the public know about this amazing new

development in a very old human ability.

So, whats new? Not a new ability. Not

a new science. Not a new tool for man-

kind. Whats new is a beer understand-

ing of what has been around for centu-

ries - the amazing abilies of the human

mind.

Lyn Buchanan was one of the

Controlled Remote Viewers for the U.S.

military, was their database manager,

property book manager, and one of

the trainers of the unit. Aer rere-

ment, he connued working for the

Defense Intelligence Agency, and start-

ed Problems>Soluons>innovaons,a database analysis company in the

Washington, D.C. area. When the fact

that the U.S. had been using remote

viewer became public, requests for

training became overwhelming, and

Problems>Soluons>Innovaons quickly

became a Controlled Remote Viewing

training, service, and databased research

company. Lyn now connues his work in

Since my foray into the Remote View-

ing industry 8 short years ago, Ive been

shocked to watch discussions involving

the ethical use of C/RV within this com-

munity result in fuming debates, insult-

ing remarks, name calling, chassing,

nger poinng and fervent disagreement

on what the term even really means.

If we cant even agree on what the ethi-

cal use of C/RV is and how it should be

applied in pracce and professionally,then just how the heck do we plan to

tell everyone else what it is and that we

adopt and follow its principles?

Nowadays I can imagine people must

inch at the mere thought of broaching

this controversial subject again inside

the private forums from which we gauge

the pulse of our community. I also know

the interest in it will have many leaning

forward right about now to read every

word Im going to write on this topic.

But dont worry. Your secrets safe with

me. Or is it?

On this connent, at least, the inial

modern-day creators of the methods and

protocols of Controlled Remote Viewing

taught only the hand-picked members of

a secret military unit this skill. The unitremained protected, intenonally bur-

ied deep within several layers of depart-

ments in Defense and Intelligence during

its twenty-plus year lifespan. However

since its incepon it would appear our

CRV community has been rife with ethi-

cal issues.

The unit members were trained

tasked to obtain highly secreve

damaging intelligence informaon ab

and from U.S. enemy states and pers

nel. Shall we begin the ethical deb

here?

Although the Stanford Research Inst

was funded to the tune of tens of m

lions of dollars over almost two deca

of work developing the protocols

Controlled Remote Viewing, the genpublic never heard about their work

the work of the unit members un

well organized dis-informaon campa

made it public. Do we begin to ques

the ethics here?

In the mid-1990s, the American ne

media began airing news stories ab

ETHICS IN C/RVIs anything secret (sacred) anymore?

by Coleen Marenich

8/14/2019 8 martinis-N1

the work done by the members of the

secret unit, scong publicly at the $20

million spent on SRIs contribuon to

the whole collaboraon gleefully and

with great abandon spreading the clev-

erly orchestrated dis-informaon to the

masses. Should we start the ethical dis-

cussions here?

Just where does one nd a place to start

talking about the ethical applicaon

of C/RV when ethical issues are so in-

mately intertwined in its enre history,

beginning with the start up of the secret

unit, the operaonal work undertaken

by its members, the nature of the orders

passed down through the various chains

of command, and then the calamity of

the dis-informaon campaign designed

to discredit everything that happened?

Could we be so naive to think a discus-

sion about ethics in C/RV need only en-

compass this short span of me? Sorry,but the story isnt nished yet!

The tender pink underbelly of this topic

is the vulnerability of having everything

there is ever to be known - known to

those of us who have been trained in

C/RV. If we can tap into anything and

everything, that would lead any layper-

son to these important quesons - do

we individually, or as a group, or as an

industry, consider anything as secret (or

sacred)? Have we ever drawn a line in

the sand which we agree we will nevercross to get informaon? No? Why not?

Because we cant rst agree on where

the line should be drawn and what in-

formaon that line represents. Oh, re-

ally? Well then, lets try to gure this out

by starng with a few quesons we can

agree on.

Truthfully speaking, have any of us been

unknowing, unwing pawns in some-

one elses quest for informaon and in

doing so innocently and unintenonally

crossed that line into what would nor-

mally be considered sacred or secret?

The answer is yes.

Can we bring ourselves to admit that in

some cases we have knowingly parci-

pated in these things in order to discov-

er something about a secret or sacred

things? For many of us, the answer is

again - yes.

And herein lies the crux of the maer.

When the topic of ethical use of C/RV

comes up, how can one debate or dis-

cuss or agree on anything in such a dis-

cussion when the truth of the maer is

that in many cases we have, in fact, al-

ready parcipated in the unethical prac-

ces of CRV - whether we knew it at the

me or not - whether innocently or pur-

posefully.

No wonder our emoons run high when

this issue is raised, complete with the

blaming, the sarcasc remarks, the bul-

lying comments meant to silence the

discussion. It has worked - and kept us

from adming this truth, talking about

this guilt whether it be by associaon,

unintenonal or accidental. But the silly

truth of the enre maer is that we all

know this about each other, ourselves

and our industry. Its the worst kept se-

cret we have! We all know about it andyet weve done a bloody good job of hid-

ing it all these years by refusing to talk

about the real need for ethics in our in-

dustry. Why? Perhaps because doing so

reinforces the guilt we feel for our own

involvement in it. Theres no denying it -

at least theres no denying it with us - in-

side this community. Because we know

beer.

So the rst step forward into some fresh

thinking about all this would mean we

realize that by seng standards for eth-ics some of us will see they may need to

change the manner in which they prac-

ce C/RV slightly. And would that be a

bad thing?

Secondly, for both praconers and in-

structors alike in this industry, surely we

can agree that in terms of what were fo-

cusing on in the ethical pracce of CRV,

were speaking of that which would nor-

mally be considered sacred or secret

in our every day lives.

Much like the right to privacy for or-

dinary cizens, we all know and value

our right to privacy and what privacy

means to us personally. No one has to

dene what that means. We demand

this right and respect others rights to

privacy in our normal daily life. And so

what would be so dierent about this

right and that which is secret and sacred

in terms of CRV? We should easily be

able to transfer over the right to priva-

cy to that which is normally considered

secret - in terms of CRV, wouldnt you

think? Its not like weve been tasked

with reinvenng the wheel here.

Im dumbfounded to nd myself even

asking these types of queson but

realize even these have been dicult

to agree upon in past discussions about

ethics and C/RV. I also know we are in an

age where there are not and will not be

any more secrets because of C/RV. Does

this then assume we have the right to

view anything and everything regard-

less of what we understand and value in

our own right to privacy? Just because

we can view anything and everything ,

does that mean we should or should be

encouraged to do so? From an ethical

perspecve, the answer is real simple:

No!

I cant imagine there would be any

disagreement with that conclusion,

but nonetheless if there is then please

imagine what it would be like if you

had no right to privacy while someone

inspected and passed judgment on all

your secrets, uncovered all your sacred

thoughts and beliefs and commented

to others on them, ran through all your

memories - both treasured and devastat-

ing making a note of them so they can

be discussed with other people later on.Or that your eorts and plans in some-

thing youve spent a year working on will

be revealed to someone who intends to

ruin you, your family, your children, your

company, your reputaon at home, at

work, at church.

The point is this: highly driven, focused,

unethical people will and can use their

C/RV abilies to pursue their own agen-

da. And highly driven, focused unethical

people will hire C/RVers to pursue their

agenda. I dont think I am speaking di-

rectly to any of these people here but

just the same, as an industry and as a

group of ethical praconers, I believe

coming together to put a set of ethics

in place is easier than we have come to

believe and is needed more than ever.

Establishing ethical standards that we

can adopt and pass on to those who will

follow in our footsteps will begin to


8/14/2019 8 martinis-N1

18/45

dene the future of our industry.

If we connue to choose to spend the

remainder of our me debang this

issue, we do nothing to move the

industry forward. This is a dicult

challenge weve struggled with far too

long, connually geng wrapped into

the controversies it addresses, the

blaming it tempts us with, and the re-luctance of the nay-sayers to get on

board and bring with them a bona de

soluon to the issue. We need to be-

gin to do things dierently if we want to

have a dierent outcome. Its me for a

change.

We can easily set up guidelines for solid,

sound ethical pracces in C/RV. And why

is this such an important goal for our

industry? Because ethics have been at

the very core of every well respected

profession throughout the ages. And

moving forward we need to have ethical

standards built right in to our commu-

nity, adopted by our instructors, our

praconers and by our professionals.

And just how do some of our profes-

sionals in our industry grapple with thiscontroversial topic? Watch for a conn-

uaon of this discussion in Professional

Ethics in the CRV Industry in our next

issue.

Heres a sneak peek:

Professional Ethics in the CRV

Industry. Is there such a thing? Would

the standard of professional ethics hold

any clout in this new industry w

ethical debates sll rage on? A

how can the general public

assured that these ethical standa

are real, that they are being adhe

to, and that sancons wield any we

at all to keep professional CRVers fr

straying outside the boundaries

what is acceptable within their o

profession? Since my foray into Remote Viewing industry 8 short ye

ago, Ive been shocked to watch disc

sions involving the ethical use of C/

debates, insulng remarks, name call

chassing, nger poinng and ferv

disagreement on what the term e

It has always surprised me that there

isnt more personal conversaon about

Remote Viewing experience on the in-

ternet. I dont mean the armchair and

polical discussions (theres plenty of

those), I mean discussion focused in de-

tail on the hands-on personal experience

of the art. Public discussion anybody canread. In a world of people with enre

websites dedicated to their fascinaon

with navel lint, or their cat, youd think

that the shiing semi-tangible, surpris-

ingly unpredictable, exasperangly- fas-

cinangly- frustrangly- cool experience

of viewing would inspire myriad people

to just go ONabout it.

Yet even when you collect large quan-

es of viewer discussion in one public

place (which I have, such as the Viewer

Archives, the RV Oasis Archivesand the

Ten Thousand Roads (TKR) RVweb Fo-

rum, you see that most the conversa-

on, even from the people most serious

about remote viewing, from RVs incep-

on on the internet unl the present,

from the elds experts to newbies,

is usually about 101 topics that are not

actually experienal discussion.

That doesnt make the talk less useful or

less interesng, of course, it just makes

it curiously indirect. You can go to snow-boarding, woodworking or gardening

websites and youll nd quite a bit of ex-

perienal discussion there. Yet it seems

remote viewing just doesnt inspire peo-

ple the way navel lint does. Go gure!

Remote Viewing rocks! How could any-

body not be raving about what they felt

in session today -- and doing so all the

me?

Ive been working on theories to explain

the mystery of minimal experienal

discussion online.

Perhaps its the tendency of viewing tobe a bit inmate that makes people

hesitate. Its subtle, and it oen lacks

closure. Its disturbing and moving, in-

spiring and confusing; it ranges from the

most subtle art to a spiritual experience.

Not everybody wants to share that per-

sonal stu with all of earth, I suppose.

Perhaps its that RV can be polical as a

comparave process. If your experience

includes something inaccurate, have you

made your method or your trainer look

bad? Will such a post be followed by

someone else one-upping you with their

superior (insert claim here)? Maybe its

not so much what one has to share as

what they think of the likely responses.

Perhaps its the focus on praccal-RV

that makes people hesitate, especially

if their experience is outside the main-

stream. For example, when I talk about

CRV, people seem to virtually nod in

agreement. But when I tell them that in

the midst of brief sessions (on yes-they-were-feedback-targets) I helped Archan-

gel Michael release a trapped soul and

then accidentally merged with Steve Mc-

Queen Souls, people act like they think

Im a freak. (I cant imagine why.)

The experienal inner component of

viewing is surely as important as our

varying external processes. Most of

external processes only exist to h

understand and direct and communic

those internal experiences anyway.

One of the best ways to share exp

enal talk about viewing online is

blogs. There arent as many RemViewing blogs as you might expect,

most are not experienal in nat

(more are news or promoon t

personal, even when run by indiv

als). But theres a few, and the view

talking about their hands-on experie

are worth encouraging. Despite

rarity of this focus, people have o

told me they just love reading that k

of stu, and wish there was more o

For new viewers in parcular, search

for something real to peruse ab

why not consider starng one? Ev

viewer has a unique experience

and perspecve, and others might b

unique or common your approach to
