This World

Nancy asked me in an email to post this on her behalf, which I am glad to do. She neglects to say that she has had years of experience at CRV, training with Paul Smith. Frank

Greetings from Frank’s monitor, Nancy. Frank is writing a wonderful report on what he experienced at the recent RV workshop at TMI. I was so impressed with his first drawings and felt that he could have stopped on the first page and the assigned judges could have easily chosen the correct target out of four possibilities.

While I have taken classes in Extended Remote Viewing, I have used Controlled Remote Viewing most of the time. I would like to suggest that what we were doing for target practice resembled Associate Remote Viewing in that there was a possibility of four pictures, not just one.

When your target is one picture and only one, then the need for judges as we experienced them is removed. I prefer CRV when I am doing one target as I feel that it leads me beyond the gestalt drawings into more in-depth meaning of the target. Also, CRV is easier to accomplish when working alone.

So, if you were at the workshop, contemplate what it would mean to describe one target with only the feedback picture as the judge of your session. It is similar to ARV, and yet not.

The method Skip chose, however, did provide us with lots of learning experiences as the judge, monitor, and viewer. In my opinion, it was a great workshop, with great people, in a great place!

An examination in four parts

The best way that I can think of to give you the flavor of the process of remote viewing is to examine in detail the remote viewing exercise I engaged in on Wednesday, March 21, 2007. (At other times in the day I served as monitor or as one of the panel of judges, as we all did.)

The remote viewing session involved doing the viewing, with the assistance of a monitor, and then being judged by a panel of eight judges who had to decide which of four possible targets in front of them was the one I had attempted to remote view. I propose to examine it in four pieces: Continue reading A successful remote viewing (1)

Those who are on TMI mailing list will have noticed, in the latest package, an announcement of the forthcoming biography of Bob Monroe by Ronald Russell. Since I edited that book as one of my last projects for Hampton Roads, I thought I’d say a couple things about it.

For years I had been worried because the generation that knew Bob was dying off, and the story was still untold. I could just imagine 30 years going by, and someone writing a biography, not having known him, not having known the reality of the early days of the Institute, not having known who was reliable and who was not reliable as a source of information about those days, perhaps not having any first-hand experience of Hemi-Sync, perhaps not knowing one person who actually knew Bob or knew of what had gone on in the many aspects of Bob’s life.

Did you ever wonder if remote viewing was more than just people fantasizing that they were psychic? After all, if remote viewing is possible — if any form of psychic ability is real — the whole materialist fantasy falls to the ground. Well, you can call the cleanup crew to pick up the pieces. Thirty years and more of remote viewing have provided enough data to put the question beyond doubt — if you are intellectually honest enough to actually look at the evidence. What’s more, remote viewing is something like chess in that it is pretty easy to learn the moves, but a lifetime would not exhaust what there was to learn.

In another entry, I’m going to describe in a little detail one of my remote viewing exercises, which should serve as an example of the possibilities and difficulties. First though, this sketch of how it is done. Continue reading Remote Viewing Basics

A friend has recently established a blog that he calls The Sacred Path. I have listed it in my blogroll, but I particularly call your attention to one of his posts that he calls A Letter from Guidance:

I have spent the past week participating in an intensive residential course on remote viewing given at The Monroe Institute (TMI). After I take some time to organize my notes I will be posting some thoughts, probably in several pieces.

So what does my testimony, or anybody’s testimony, amount to? It doesn’t amount to proof of anything, that’s for sure. For all you know, I’m deliberately deceiving you, or am deceiving myself. My data may be wrong, my reasoning may be wrong, my “knowings” may be wrong, my conclusions may be wrong. As always, you’re pretty much on your own, and you’re pretty much going to believe whatever you allow yourself to believe. The only other choice is to find an authority to follow, trying not to remember that belief in authority is itself a belief, not a known.

This being so, can there be any value to you in listening to what I think I know about spiritual realities? Ohhhh, yes! But not just mine.

 I am writing this, not to persuade you of anything (which I couldn’t do anyway), but to suggest to you that your life is more magical than you may have thought. Certain types of phenomena have been reported for centuries and denied only in the past few hundred years. If we take them seriously, they cast serious doubt on the materialist fantasy that has passed for science and common-sense in our day. And that has important implications for your life!
