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

to produce a session that describes t
target at that future me.
This type of experimental design

failure. That is, the remote-viewing
sion will likely describe a future t

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.

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

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.

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

training became overwhelming, and
Problems>Soluons>Innovaons quickly
became a Controlled Remote Viewing

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

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

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

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

If you dont have a remote viewing b
why not consider starng one? Ev
viewer has a unique experience
and perspecve, and others might b

unique or common your approach to

on the internet who will really relate
you!

2. Inial researcher hired by the CIA to invesgate what had been called
remote viewing.
4. A viewer in the early research eorts of the program now called Star Gate,
at this point as famous for the alleged mystery of his death as for the omni-
present crane session sketch
6. An organizaon that oers membership, website, newsleer, and annual
conferences related to RV (acronym)
7. A normal word but also a slang viewer phrase; when all data is provided
without its subjecve context (eg a persons physical qualies are described as
if they were a structure or tree) 8. Inially claimed to be part of Star Gate, currently claims to have been a
viewer with a Western Intelligence Agency. Probably the rst and biggest
internet source of big money for psychic training as RV.
9. Has published the only complete users manual for CRV in book form (so
far)
12. A book by J.W. Dunne that explores the mystery of psi and me.
15. The collected set of all rules and processes for a remote viewing setup.
The psi methodology (such as CRV) is one component of this; there are about a
dozen other factors. Sciensts refer to this as A Remote Viewing _____
16. Once published a research paper about the problem with addressing in
remote viewing research
17. Wrote an internet-famous MUFON piece about Moon Anomalies and
dealing with NASA in the 1970s. Potenally supports the data/wrings refer-
