What is Remote Viewing?
A structured approach to gathering information about distant or unseen targets.
Remote viewing (RV) is a disciplined mental process that involves attempting to perceive and describe a target that is hidden from physical view and separated by distance or time. It follows specific protocols to minimize imagination and maximize objective data collection.
Developed in the 1970s at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), remote viewing was initially researched for potential military and intelligence applications under programs like the Stargate Project. After declassification in 1995, the techniques transitioned to civilian use for research and personal development.
Remote viewing is not mind-reading, fortune-telling, or psychic prediction. It's a structured protocol that some researchers believe may tap into aspects of human perception we don't yet fully understand. Results vary between individuals and sessions.
The foundational method developed by Ingo Swann and Harold Puthoff. Uses a structured six-stage process to gather information about a target identified only by coordinates.
A more fluid approach developed by Ed Dames that reduces structure to allow more spontaneous information flow. Often considered more advanced.
A refinement of CRV by Lyn Buchanan that incorporates additional analytical techniques and quality control measures.
While the mechanisms behind remote viewing remain unclear, several theories have been proposed. These include quantum entanglement models, non-local consciousness theories, and signal transfer hypotheses. It's important to note that none of these theories have been conclusively proven, and remote viewing remains a subject of ongoing research and debate within the scientific community.
Learn Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV)
A step-by-step guide to the foundational remote viewing protocol.
Begin by drawing simple shapes (ideograms) in response to the target coordinates. Focus on the immediate sensory impressions rather than trying to visualize the target.
Diagonal
Circle
Triangle
Practice drawing ideograms for these coordinates: 123-456, 789-012, 345-678. Note your immediate impressions.
Expand on your ideograms by describing basic dimensions (size, shape, number) and sensory qualities (texture, temperature, movement). Use objective descriptors.
Size: large, small, medium, enormous
Texture: rough, smooth, bumpy, soft
Temperature: hot, cold, warm, cool
For your previous ideograms, list at least three dimensional qualities for each. Avoid interpretation - just describe.
Allow more detailed information to emerge naturally. Sketch shapes, note colors, sounds, or other sensory data. Continue avoiding analysis or interpretation.
Use your non-dominant hand for sketching
Write down whatever comes to mind without filtering
Note any "AOLs" (Analytical Overlays) but mark them separately
For one of your previous ideograms, spend 5 minutes allowing details to emerge. Sketch and note everything that comes to mind.
Attempt to identify the target's name or function through associative techniques. Use mind maps or word associations, but remain tentative in your conclusions.
Write the first word that comes to mind
Create word associations from your earlier notes
Prefix with "maybe" or "possibly" to maintain objectivity
Integrate all gathered information into a coherent description. Create a summary that combines sensory data, sketches, and potential names/functions.
1. Initial impressions (ideograms)
2. Dimensional qualities
3. Sensory details
4. Possible name/function
5. Overall summary
"Initial ideogram suggested angular shapes. Dimensions include large size, hard texture, cool temperature. Details include metallic surfaces, rectangular patterns, humming sound. Possibly a server room or data center. Summary: A large, cool, metallic environment with rectangular structures and electronic sounds."
Review the entire session, noting what felt accurate and what might be imagination. Compare with the target (if available) to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
What elements felt most certain?
Where might imagination have interfered?
What patterns emerge in your viewing style?
When the viewer's conscious mind interprets data rather than reporting raw perceptions. Mark these clearly in your notes to distinguish from direct impressions.
Each stage builds on the previous one. Rushing to details before establishing basic dimensions often leads to inaccurate results.
Trying to make sense of impressions too soon. Stay with "what" before asking "why." Describe before analyzing.
Anticipating what the target "should" be based on personal preferences or assumptions. Maintain beginner's mind.
