Remote Viewing
I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.
~D.H. Lawrence
Remote viewing is the paranormal ability to see across long distances in space and time, without physically traveling there.
Technically, it is a form of extra-sensory perception (ESP), which apparently anyone can achieve using altered states of consciousness. It is the subject of a very unusual book by Joseph McMoneagle, called The Ultimate Time Machine. In it, he uses his RV skills to generate detailed descriptions of the Kennedy assassination, the life of Jesus Christ, and even how the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed.
People who practice remote viewing are often dismissed by the scientific community as paranormal crackpots. So the aim of this article is to dispel the myths and establish the facts. If you want to give it a go, see How to Remote View and experiment with RVing for yourself. There are also some interesting binaural beat MP3s worth checking out. The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project was the code name for a US military operation that used remote viewing to gather intelligence on its enemies. It was launched during the height of the Cold War in the early 1970s, although the US Government had occasionally funded research into ESP since World War II.
Also known as Scanate, Flame Grill and Sun Streak, military research into ESP was shut down in 1995 - after 23 years and $20 million of US Government funding. The project was declassified and the media pounced on it. Why was the US military pumping millions of dollars into researching paranormal psychic powers? Had they gone completely bonkers or was there some proof that it actually worked?

Myths About Remote Viewing
In the beginning, the developers called it Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV), because they had to focus on specific target coordinates to know where to go. This also fitted in nicely with its military applications.
However, as it became more versatile, a new term was introduced: Technical Remote Viewing (TRV). So when you see these terms flying about the net, they are all referring to the same thing.
According to professional RVer, Joni Dourif, the ability to see across time and space is something we can learn all learn, just like a new language. It is not a psychic gift or supernatural power, but rather a technology that we can all harness.
Its status among wishy-washy "psychic warriors" outrages professional RVers to this day, who are amazed to meet psychics, channelers, spoon benders, dowsers, UFOers, and many more alternative types at serious RV conferences. They claim the media got the wrong end of the stick, and that the world has misinterpreted this technology as mere pseudo-science.
In fact, Joni Dourif has an interesting article about the true history of remote viewing and how it has become a fad among fans of the occult.
Learn Remote Viewing
Professional RVers spend years learning how to remote view and improving their own accuracy. However, they are on a mission to make it accessible to the public. This requires some experience of inducing altered states of awareness.
Remote viewing workshops are available at leading research houses like The Monroe Institute and PSI Tech.
If you're looking for a cheaper, less intensive option, you can buy powerful binaural beats online - such as Remote Viewing by Mind Sync.
Below is a basc RV technique for people who are already practiced at entering altered states of consciousness.
How To Remote View
Step 1 - Empty Your Mind
Perform a short meditation routine to relax and clear your mind of incessant thoughts and images. Spend at least 5-10 minutes inducing deeper, altered states of consciousness.
Gaze into the blackness of your closed eyelids. Every time a new image pops up, gently push it out the way. You want to create a blank movie screen on which RV images will be projected.
Step 2 - Choose a Target
A target can be a set of coordinates, a place name, a photograph, an object, or a stock ticker - anything that you can focus on specifically. Here is a selection of remote viewing targets precisely for this purpose.
Step 3 - Focus
With your eyes closed and your mind empty, take a few more deep breaths. Once you have accessed more relaxed altered states, you are ready to begin. Repeat your target over and over in your mind.
Note down any colors, shapes or movement that come to mind. The first few images are likely to come from your imagination, so ignore them. Pay attention to the ones that persist.
If you can identify the shape, then it's your imagination and not the RV target, so ignore it and look for something else. Sketch any images...
Step 4 - Reveal The Target
If your target was a price chart for the NASDAQ Index for 2009, you can see how you did when 2009 is over... If you chose a photograph (as per the link) you can reveal your target instantly. How did you do?
Score yourself on how much the two images have in common. Usually this is done on a percentage scale. An image can be composed of colors, textures and movements so don't only judge the shapes. You may also pick up on unknown elements outside the photo. |
A Remote Viewing Experiment
| To test your remote viewing skills, I have created three photo targets. They are numbered, to eliminate any potentially subliminal alpha-codes. Next time you are meditating or falling asleep consciously, think about any of these targets and note down your thoughts straight after... |

Remote Viewing Applications Assuming that RVing is possible and reliable, what would you use it for? Here is a fanciful take at some of the potential applications...
- Stock Market Trading - As a former stock market analyst, I have spent many hours of my life trying to predict the future prices of stocks. If it were possible to RV this information, the potential to make money would be uncapped. Interestingly, Dane Spotts, CEO of PSI Tech, claims to be able to do exactly this. He wrote this article about how to predict movements on the FX (currency exchange) markets and invites other skilled remote viewers to join his exclusive investment club.
Win The Lottery - This is a simpler version of the stock market application. If you have no desire to get technical (or risk all your savings), you could simply look into next week's winning lottery numbers! However, winning the jackpot multiple times might raise suspicion...
- Ancient History - How were the pyramids of Egypt built? What was Stone Henge used for? Was Jesus a real person? What happened to the dinosaurs? McMoneagle touches on some of these questions in his book, The Ultimate Time Machine. But there is still a lot more history to explore. With RV, we could shine a whole new light on our past.
- How Will You Die? - Granted, this one is a bit grim. But humans can be pretty obsessed with mortality so I think this would make the Top Ten list for a population of RVers. The question is, could you evade the Grim Reaper if you knew how and when he was going to strike?
- Distant Future - Are the doomsday prophecies true? Are we headed for global warming disaster - or maybe a big freeze? What natural disasters are due in the next 1,000 years? What terror attacks or man-made tragedies can we avert? How will mankind evolve, or are we due for extinction?
Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence - Eat your heart out SETI. A remote viewer could target a population of intelligent lifeforms and identify their location in the universe.
- Invention - What will be the biggest invention of the 21st century? Self-aware robots? Time travel? Teleportation? Can we create new technology prematurely with the knowledge that we steal from our own future?
Remote Viewing and Lucid Dreaming As you can see, remote viewing is a very exciting prospect - if it exists. There are some who are wholly convinced, and we'll leave it to them to generate the evidence that the world needs.
Coincidence is a funny thing - it's often beyond human nature to comprehend a coincidence without attributing some deeper meaning. For me, remote viewing remains in that weird, paranormal box of stuff that remains to be proven or disproven.
And remember, if you want to explore remote viewing further, you can do it in lucid dreams. When you are awake in dreams, you have potent access to both your conscious and unconscious mind. Logic meets intuition!
So, prepare an RV target now, and remember to access it during lucidity. This is also a great way to set up a lucid dreaming intention. Here are a few RV targets / lucid dream intentions to get you started:
- What are the origins of man?
- What happened to the dinosaurs?
- What is at the bottom of the deepest ocean?
- What is the astral dimension?
- What will my life be like in 20 years?
- What will Earth be like in the year 3000?
