A New Scientific Experiment InvolvingPrediction and Multiple Universesby Courtney BrownThis is an outline of the new public remote viewing collaborative projectfrom the Farsight, HRVG and CRV schools of Remote ViewingA New Scientific Experiment InvolvingPrediction and Multiple UniversesPredicting the future has been one ofthe most difficult things to do with remoteviewing. People always say thatif you can remote view, what will happenat some point in the future? Manyhave tried to use remote viewing to answerthat question, and some have occasionallymet with success. But to date,only one experimental design has everworked consistently to correctly predictthe future. We now have an ideawhy that particular experimental designworks, and why other experimental designsdo not work as well. The reasonmay have to do with the existence ofmultiple universes, and we now have away to test for this directly.Remote Viewing the Future: A Way ThatWorks — Design AThe experimental design that consistentlyworks well to predict the futureinvolves having the target chosen in thefuture. That is, a remote viewer is told toconduct a remote-viewing session. Thetarget for that session does not yet exist.The session is conducted, and thenstored, often made available for publicdownload as an encrypted file. Theperson choosing the target is not givenaccess to the remote-viewing session.Eventually, say, a week or more later,the person assigned to pick a target forthe remote-viewing session (a “tasker”or “targeteer”) does so. The target isrevealed, and the session is taken fromstorage or decrypted, and the sessiondata are compared with the actual target.In this type of situation, where thetarget is determined in the future, theremote-viewing session tends to correctlypredict the chosen target. It isalso possible to use a truly random processthat occurs in the future to pick thetarget from a pool of targets. The key isthat the target is determined after theremote-viewing session is completed.In the current experiment, we will beadding a new element to this design byplacing the target event between theviewing and the tasking times, which isexplained further below.Remote Viewing the Future: A Way ThatOften Does Not Work — Design BLet us say that a remote viewer is askedto conduct a remote-viewing session.The session is always done blind, ofcourse, which means that the remoteviewerdoes not know the target. But letus say that the target is a certain placeat a certain point in time in the future.That is, the tasker or targeteer has determinedthe target now, and this person issubsequently asking the remote-viewerto produce a session that describes thattarget at that future time.This type of experimental design hasbeen shown to have a very high rate offailure. That is, the remote-viewing sessionwill likely describe a future thatdoes not turn out to be true. We havelong wondered why this type of experimentaldesign does not work well. Wenow think we may know why this happens.It is possible that when we remoteview the future using this type of experimentaldesign, we open ourselves up toremote-viewing the future as it exists inalternate realities, and which reality isperceived by the remote viewer is probabilisticallydetermined and influencedby subtle mental biases and cues.

CRV: From Tool to Applicationby Dr SurelCRV is a powerful tool, and like any tool the implications of itsuse depend upon how it is used and by whom.The applications are endless and onlylimited by the viewer’s imagination oragenda. CRV can be used for the highestgood as well as for the lowest purposes.Thus the question is not so much aboutethics per se but about the value systemof the viewer. Ethics is the collection ofa set of values. A murderer can operatewithin his own set of ethics whereby killingis an acceptable value. Therefore itdoes not suffice to speak of ethics butrather of values.Thus the transformation of CRV froma tool to applications, or operations,should entail a phase of looking at one’svalues and asking the following questions:Where are my boundaries? Whatis acceptable and what is an intrusion?On the subject of ethics, I have alsowondered how trainers teach this artand science to just anyone who appliesfor the courses. The basic CRV conceptis extremely powerful and once the mechanicsof this skill are understood anddeveloped, the applications go beyondmere viewing.But I digress…. This article is about CRVapplications and how CRV can be used inour professional lives. My CRV trainingwas done with Lyn Buchanan from Basicto Advanced. I had already been trainedin radiesthesia and have been operationalin radiesthesia since the late 80s.I felt however that there was somethingelse, another complementary techniquethat would enhance my skills. When I arrivedin the US I read about CRV and immediatelyknew that this was what I waslooking for. CRV offered a structure andeducated me in the technology of theCRV process so that combined with theradiesthesia knowledge, it would takeme a step further and yield high qualityresults.I have been using a combination of CRVand radiesthesia technique that variesfrom using the CRV protocol 100% to usingparts of it and complementing withpendulum work and radiesthesia principles.Although in my early operationaldays I focused mostly on medical applicationsusing only radiesthesia, once Iwas trained in CRV I developed my operationalwork into diverse business areas:acquisitions, hiring, matching rightcandidates with the right organizationalculture, identifying technical problem ar-6 eight martinis - issue:1

eas in R&D, identifying future trends formarketing, choosing commercial propertiesto develop, negotiation, team building,etc…I probably should mention that my professionalprofile is very main-stream asI have an MBA and Doctoral degree butI have yet to meet a strategy consultantwho is also a remote viewer! So the questionis, do I use these CRV skills overtly orcovertly? It depends. I have clients whounderstand CRV/radiesthesia and askme to do what they call in their acceptablelanguage, intuitive readings on theirbusiness. In other cases, I do not tell myclients that I use CRV/radiesthesia. Theyhire me for results and are only interestedin the conventional business analysistools. In this case, the CRV skill is what Iconsider a competitive advantage.The method I use depends upon the natureof the information the client is seeking.Let’s take the example of a clientwho is trying to decide whether or notto buy a company. In this case I wouldstart with the CRV protocol and generateas many ideograms as possible andproceed through the different phasesuntil I get an indication that the flow ofinformation is speeding up and I cannotkeep up whilst continuing with the protocolat which point I draw a line in mysession and indicate that I am deviatingfrom the protocol and into an alternativetechnique. In my view, the value of generatingideograms and going through P2,P3, P4 is that it focuses the informationon important issues or information. It isthen up to me to know where and howto probe further.Once I enter the field of the target, myradiesthesia skills often take over and Ican view, travel, examine, much morerapidly and obtain more detail withoutgoing through some of the Ps. I thusquickly obtain a broader scope of informationas well as more depth in details.It is as if the P1, P2, and sometimes P3open the door to the target and then Igo in with another set of tools. Withmy business background I know whichquestions to ask and where to look. Theideograms and sketches usually generateinformation about the major issuesand give me an indication of the generaldirection.In this technique there is a very importantphase before I write the summaryand that is what I call the Disconnect. Iwrite a very raw summary – no interpretation– just the raw data I have harvested.And then I leave it for hours, maybea day and don’t think about it. The Disconnectenables the brain to processand synthesize the raw data without theconscious trying to meddle and create astory. I then do what I call my summarysession, whereby I go back into session,take the coordinates, and use my radiesthesiaskills to connect the dots of theraw data and write the summary. Thistype of work demands a lot of practice toensure that the imagination and deductiveprocesses stay silent and do not interfereand pollute the raw information.Again, CRV is a tool. Using it operationallymeans that you use it competentlywithin a specific context so that you cancommunicate the information in a formatand style that is aligned with theclient’s business language and expectations.The quality of the information receivedin a session will only be as goodas one’s probing questions and thereforeknowledge in that field is an importantcriteria. Thus the quality of the summarywill also depend upon one’s understandingof that field. Operational CRV can becompared to statistical research. You canobtain volumes of quantitative informationbut if you don’t understand what itmeans, how to analyze it, and how topresent the results to meet the client’sexpectations, the information is useless.Shifting from CRV practice sessions intooperational work is similar to switchingfrom pure research work to real worldapplications. Industry specific knowledgebecomes important and the issuesof ethics and moral responsibility mustbe continuously revisited.*Dr. SurelDr. Surel is an international businessstrategy and marketing consultant. Shehas worked for major corporations whileliving in Paris, London, and the US. Sheholds an MBA and Doctoral degree inOrganizational Management and Leadership.In parallel she is a radiesthesisteand initially practiced in the medical areas.After training to the advanced levelin CRV with Lyn Buchanan, she now usesa combination of remote viewing andradiesthesia techniques for operationalwork in business.Dr. Surel has developed and teaches differentlevels of Intuitive Intelligence tohelp executives make better decisions,create futuristic scenarios, enhancecreativity for R&D, develop forecastingskills to identify future trends, and identifyFlow Channels instead of fightingchaos.

Remote Viewing from thePerspective of “Embodied Mind”by Jon KnowlesWhat is the relation between our ordinary perceptual and cognitiveprocesses and the remote viewing “sense” that all of us appear to possess?This topic has not received a great dealof attention in the remote viewing literature(at least not in the last twodecades), nor in contemporary onlineforums. The most extensive onlineexploration appears in Ingo Swann’sSuperpowers of the Human Biomind.In these valuable essays in “linguisticarchaeology”, Swann discusses ourmultiple senses (closer to 17 than 5),sensory “transducers” and the limitsof traditional vocabulary in apprehendingand understanding psi in generaland the remote viewing process inparticular.Another approach to understandingthe remote viewing phenomenon isthat of Dr. Edwin May, the well-knownStanford Research Institute and CognitiveSciences Laboratory researcherwho oversaw approximately 85 percentof the data collection on remoteviewing in the Stargate program. Hisresearch on remote viewing has lookedinto sensory- and brain-related factorssuch as skin conductance, “alpha bandpower”, and event-related desynchronizations(ERD’s) as well as other topics.His take on the relation betweenremote viewing and the senses is:“we can measure in the lab that thereare very strong indicators that the wayit (remote viewing) works when youstudy it carefully is very much like theother senses. You know, just to giveyou an idea, we can see things thatare changing much better than we cansee things that are standing still. Youcan easily see why evolution mighthave made us that way, because we’restanding at the edge of the grassland,we’re more interested in the leopardthat moved than the grass that didn’t.”The above are approaches taken bytwo of the foremost pioneer figures inthe history of remote viewing. Thereare complementary avenues one couldtake as well in trying to understand therelationship between remote viewingand the perceptual senses. One ofthese is suggested by the findings ofthe “Embodied Mind” or “embodiedcognition” school of research.The fields of cognitive neuroscience,cognitive neuropsychology, cognitivelinguistics, cognitive philosophy, neurophenomenology,and the many specialtieswithin brain research have developedenormously over the past 308 eight martinis - issue;1

Remote Viewing from thePerspective of “Embodied Mind”years. There is a remarkable wealth of laboratory experimentsand studies in these areas which may help shed light on theremote viewing process. To date, this recent material (asidefrom some brain research) has seldom been introduced intothe remote viewing literature or forums.In this piece I will focus primarily on the above-mentioned EmbodiedMind school of thought and its relevance to the remoteviewing process. One aim is to explore whether the EmbodiedMind school provides a useful framework for understandingand categorizing remote viewing data. I will sketch some of themain ideas of this school and then look at remote viewing processesand practices in two main areas: a) drawings/sketchesand verbal data, and touch on ideograms and “gestalts”; andb) “non-literal” data (metaphors, analogies, symbols, etc.). Theessay will be in two parts, with the first part devoted to a) only.Caveats before proceeding further:1. The article assumes some prior knowledge of remoteviewing. Ten Thousand Roads is a fine remote viewing portal,an interactive viewing site with an extensive forum, and is anexcellent source of initial information for those who have notyet encountered this subtle, amazing capability.2. No one understands the ultimate source of remote viewinginformation, nor the underlying mind/brain processes thatenable us to acquire this information. We see, but are in thedark. Outside the field of remote viewing, mainstream mind/brain research itself is chock full of “known unknowns andunknown unknowns” – guesses, hypotheses and controversy.Much is written but little is actually understood about how theapproximately 100 billion neurons in our brain (and body) encodemental contents. The consensus is there must be a codeor codes, but there is no agreement on what the elements orpatterns of the code might be. Some even dispute that neuronsare the right structural unit to focus on.3. Many cognitive researchers do not entertain the possibilitythat remote viewing is a real phenomenon; indeed, manyknow little if anything about it. For them, “Mind on the Hoof”,as one author termed Embodied Mind, implies: no hoof, nomind. Remote viewing obtains information beyond the reachof the ordinary senses, indicating that mind is not coextensivewith the body. Nonetheless, as I hope to show, there are intriguingparallels between Embodied Mind and remote viewing,and they may prove to be extremely productive.Prototyping and Basic Level EffectsAustrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein questioned the classicalconception of categories when he examined what gameshave in common. “We see a complicated network of similaritiesoverlapping and crisscrossing: sometimes overlapping similarities,sometimes similarities of detail.” (Wittgenstein). Gamesmay not share a single common characteristic. He suggestedrather that what games have in common is akin to “family resemblances.”Similar ideas were further explored by Roger Brown in thelate 1950’s, and by cognitive psychologist Eleanor Rosch in the1970’s, and they have been pursued by many others since.Rosch described what she termed “prototyping effects” withregard to categories. When asked, people say they considersome members of a category to be more typical members thanothers. For example, a robin is felt to be a more typical memberof the category bird than a penguin or an owl is. Such anapproach contrasts with the centuries-old idea of categories,in which all members have equal status. There are other importantdifferences as well.Of particular note for our purposes, Rosch went on to postulatewhat she called “basic level effects”. These are summarizedin the following table by cognitive philosopher and linguist,George Lakoff, another seminal figure in the field:Level Category member Category memberSuperordinate Animal FurnitureBasic Dog ChairSubordinate Retriever RockerThe basic level is of singular interest. Research has shownthat it has the following characteristics:- highest level in which category members have similarlyperceived overall shapes- highest level at which a single mental image can reflectthe entire category- highest level at which a person uses similar motor actionsto interact with category members- level at which people are fastest at identifying categorymembers- level with most commonly used labels for categorymembers- first level named and understood by children- first level to enter the lexicon of a language- level at which most of our knowledge is organized- level with shortest primary lexemesIssue:1 eight martinis 9

Remote Viewing from thePerspective of “Embodied Mind”One meaning of gestalt deriving from the Berlin school ofgestalt psychology is “the idea that we perceive objects aswholes and that these perceptions cannot be reduced to morefundamental elements of perception such as color”.When it is asserted that the perceptions “cannot be reduced tomore fundamental elements of perception such as color”, themeaning I take is that if I look at the yellow decorations on myChinese teacup, for example, I cannot “unsee” the cup itself.Colors and the other elements cannot be “selected out” fromthe cup. Once we open our eyes, we see the entire object. Wecannot see just the color or other perceptual aspects of theobject and them alone.Research into the visual system, the most extensively studiedperceptual modality, shows that we build up the image of anobject through many complex stages of visual processing, withforward and back propagation of signals, in various regionsand along various pathways in the brain. This all goes on subconsciously.But if we have our eyes open (and are awake), weperceive the entire object, the gestalt, the cup. We cannot dootherwise. We can focus on the handle, we can focus on thecolor. But when we focus on the color, we still perceive thehandle or entire cup. If we focus on the handle we do not “unperceive”the cup.This raises interesting initial questions: In what ways does theremote viewing information “come in”? Does the remote viewingprocess parallel that of regular perception in significantways? Does it make a difference if one draws gestalts (gestaltin the above sense) early in the session rather than drawingor verbalizing perceptual elements first and then drawing orverbalizing the gestalt at a later stage? Does the usefulness ofthe resulting data depend more on the characteristics of theviewer than on a difference in method?Consider also the implications of these remarks by DavidRitchie, one of the embodied cognition researchers:“In the perceptual neural system, perceptions, including perceptionsof language and other communicative acts, are filtered,combined, and aggregated at a series of levels, beginningwith raw perceptions, all the way up to the coherentmulti-sensory objects we experience. Only these, the mosthighly aggregated and unitary perceptions, are ordinarily accessibleto conscious attention. Barsalou (1999) argues that aconceptual neural system parallels and is capable of partiallysimulating – and interacting with – the functions of the perceptualneural system at every level. (emphasis added) Theperceptual neural system includes states and experiencesinternal to the body as well as cognitive states such as abstractreasoning and emotions; the conceptual neural system includessimulators that generate simulations of the same fullrange of experience, including thoughts, internal body states,muscular action, and emotions.” David Ritchie, “Context-LimitedSimulation Theory of Metaphor”Is there in fact a parallel “conceptual neural system...interactingwith the functions of the perceptual neural system at everylevel?” If so, this could have important implications for theremote viewing process.This is just one of many implications from the research that invitesfurther study by those in the remote viewing community.There are fascinating avenues to pursue -- were there significantfunding to undertake such research on remote viewing.(Federal stimulus funds would be welcome indeed!)(As an aside, presumably the above passage means that theremay be subconscious conceptual (or cognitive) processes.Some may decline to entertain the possibility of subconsciouscognition; it has many backers in the literature, however. Infact, my impression is that it is the dominant view.)Returning to the main thread, recall that the basic level is thelevel at which “category members have similarly perceivedoverall shapes” and at which a “single mental image can reflectthe entire category”. This suggests that the basic level doescapture a gestalt; specifically, a shape (graphic form) that isrepresentative of the objectiveHowever, it is also the case at the basic level that the imageis associated with (more specifically, named by) a particularword. The image is correlated in the mind with the word “dog”,for example. When a child sees a hairy four-legged creatureof a certain size, and with a big nose and a licking tongue, itlearns the word that signifies the thing before its eyes is “dog”.It also associates the smell, feel, and sounds of the creaturewith “dog”; here we are focusing on image and word.The child does not at first know (or think) the creature is an“animal”, and most likely does not know it is a “mammal”. Such“dog” identification, passive recognition, takes place when thechild is babbling but not yet speaking.In this theory, the levels are not fixed. The child may first learnthe creature is “Spot,” a term at the subordinate level, ratherthan “dog.” But the child usually soon learns there are other“Spots” and that they are all “dogs”, and then “dog” becomesthe basic level category member. “Spot” then becomes thesubordinate level member. It is only later that the child learnsIssue:1 eight martinis 11

Remote Viewing from thePerspective of “Embodied Mind”rather learns the simple basic term: table, sink, toilet, light.The child too at first does not understand nor use categoriessuch as furniture, mammals, and quadrupeds. These comelater in his/her development. So do more specific designationssuch as stainless-steel steak knives, metal coffee cups, parquetflooring, etc. These last, at the subordinate level. Instead thechild – the baby -- first learns knife, cup, and floor.To sum up of the first part of this article, the Embodied Mindapproach allows us to go beyond the usual descriptions of “lowlevel,” “high level,” and similar terms. It provides us with ameaningful framework for categorizing and discussing remoteviewing impressions, one based on extensive psychological,linguistic, developmental, and philosophical investigation andexperiments. The three levels of the Embodied Mind schoolconstitute a useful categorization of the remote viewing informationreceived and manifested by the viewer. The basic levelin particular is the hub of both Embodied Mind theory andremote viewing data.Further, the comparison of Embodied Mind and remote viewingsuggests that some of the perceptual and perhaps cognitivechannels remote viewing utilizes may be intimately connectedwith our early learning. Not right after birth, apparently, but inthe early months and years, particularly as our visual sense andcognitive functions develop. Interdisciplinary studies might beable to further elucidate the nature of this connection.There is obviously a great deal more to explore on the subjectof remote viewing in relation to our perceptual channels orsenses. This article has just taken a quick look under the hood.The second part of this article will take a look at metaphor,categories of association, and related topics as seen throughthe lens of the Embodied Mind approach.*Jon Knowles has been a viewer and projectmanager in the Aurora Remote ViewingGroup since 2005.

REMOTE VIEWING:SO, WHAT’S NEW?by Lyn BuchananThe Bible says that “there is nothing newunder the sun”. It’s probably true. Newinventions and discoveries may come upand we think they are new, but they arebuilt on older inventions and discoveries,older knowledge, and on physical principleswhich have been with us since thebeginning of time.The art and science of remote viewingis one such “discovery”. It is being tautedas a new ability for mankind, but infact, forms of it have been practiced andhanded down through societies sincebefore recorded history. So, what’s newabout it?Well, scientific research techniqueswould seem to be what has brought theintuitive ability of man from spooky seanceparlors into the modern information-gatheringage. But that’s not allthat new, either. People have been researchingparanormal abilities for centuries.They have been testing “paranormals”.They have been studying“seers”. They have kept copious notesand analyzed every scrap of informationthey could gather, all in an attempt tofind out what’s going on in the humanmind when “paranormal” events occur.They used the tools they had at the time,but it seemed that the tools which wereavailable just weren’t enough to get theanswers.So, when Ingo Swann and some other researchersof the paranormal got together,it looked like just another attemptto study and figure things out. But thistime, there were some other fields whichwere ripe for use in the study. The fieldsof psychology, psychiatry, physical therapy,and human behavior, only to namea few, had been growing and perfectingtheir work in parallel growth paths. Andthen, there was the biggest factor of all...the field of computer science. Whenthese new tools were added into themix, more work could be done. Moredata could be gathered and analyzed in ashorter period of time. More “what-ifs”could be asked and answered.This allowed both Ingo Swann, a mannamed Pat Price, and a group of researchersat Stanford Research Internationalto get together and start askingquestions, collecting data, analyzingresults, and gaining understanding on14 eight martinis - issue: 1

a scale never before possible. No newabilities were being studied and no newtools were being used. But now thetools were sharper and could slice thinnerand more accurately. The only thingswhich were new were the understandingsgained from the work.They began to understand that, in orderto get “felt but not understood” informationfrom the subconscious mind upinto the conscious mind, the best pathwas through the body. This is why most,if not all, of the best “paranormals”throughout time had employed physicaltrance states, dancing, writing, and otherphysical acts as they gathered their information.The researchers learned fromthe martial arts that the subconsciousmind works with and through the bodyall the time, but only rarely does it workdirectly with the conscious mind. Therefore,to make remote viewing work best,it needed to be a physical discipline, aswell as a mental one. They learned fromthe martial arts that physical repetitionenhances the path of information.Therefore, remote viewing would workbest if a set of activities were establishedand practiced over and over until theybecame automatic.These findings, like many of the scientificadvances, were tested first using membersof the military. The findings provedto be successful. Then, like many scientificadvances, the military took themover and made them classified, for itsown use. But all things military comeinto the civilian realm sooner or later,and this field is no different in that respect.In late 1995, the announcementwas made by the CIA that the U.S. militaryhad used remote viewing for thepurpose of collecting intelligence on enemiesof the U.S. The cat was now outof the bag.A strange thing has happened sincethen, however. The use of the computerto collect data on remote viewers andtheir work either was not adopted bythe public, or was tried and abandoned.That’s not surprising. The general publicis still learning to use computers. Forthe public, it is not yet an accepted tool.The psychological understanding of whatis going on in the mind when successfulremote viewing occurs has generallybeen ignored by the public. That’s notsurprising, either, since the public is notthat well educated yet about the psychologyof the human mind. The physicalnature of remote viewing has generallynot been accepted or understoodby the public at large, mainly becausethat is also not a part of their daily lives.The need for documentation met thesame fate. In general, what happenedwithin the public sector was that, for themost part, the name, “remote viewing”passed over into the public sector, butthe science of remote viewing did not.So, where do we stand today? Well theoutlook is not bleak, at all. The fact is thatthrough the developments in the scienceof remote viewing, the general public isbeginning to have a greater understandingof the other sciences which allowedit to be developed. In all, as more peoplelearn of remote viewing, and more peopletry to understand it, the more theywill be introduced to the other fields, aswell. The science of remote viewing tooka giant step backwards when it went intothe public sector, but the public sector isalso taking a giant step forward becauseof it. The time and tools were right forscientists and researchers to understandremote viewing. It is not yet right forthe general public to understand it. Butthe fact that it is out there is changingthat, as well. The tools we need now forbringing the public into a much fuller understandingof the human mind are thetools of education, public relations, andthe proper advertising techniques to letthe public know about this amazing newdevelopment in a very old human ability.So, what’s new? Not a new ability. Nota new science. Not a new tool for mankind.What’s new is a better understandingof what has been around for centuries- the amazing abilities of the humanmind.*Lyn BuchananLyn Buchanan was one of theControlled Remote Viewers for the U.S.military, was their database manager,property book manager, and one ofthe trainers of the unit.

ETHICS IN C/RVIs anything secret (sacred) anymore?by Coleen MarenichSince my foray into the Remote Viewingindustry 8 short years ago, I’ve beenshocked to watch discussions involving‘the ethical use of C/RV’ within this communityresult in fuming debates, insultingremarks, name calling, chastising,finger pointing and fervent disagreementon what the term even really means.If we can’t even agree on what the ethicaluse of C/RV is and how it should beapplied in practice and professionally,then just how the heck do we plan totell everyone else what it is and that weadopt and follow its principles?Nowadays I can imagine people mustflinch at the mere thought of broachingthis controversial subject again insidethe private forums from which we gaugethe pulse of our community. I also knowthe interest in it will have many leaningforward right about now to read everyword I’m going to write on this topic.But don’t worry. Your secret’s safe withme. Or is it?On this continent, at least, the initialmodern-day creators of the methods andprotocols of Controlled Remote Viewingtaught only the hand-picked members ofa secret military unit this skill. The unitremained protected, intentionally burieddeep within several layers of departmentsin Defense and Intelligence duringits twenty-plus year lifespan. Howeversince its inception it would appear ourCRV community has been rife with ethicalissues.The unit members were trained andtasked to obtain highly secretive anddamaging intelligence information aboutand from U.S. enemy states and personnel.Shall we begin the ethical debatehere?Although the Stanford Research Institutewas funded to the tune of tens of millionsof dollars over almost two decadesof work developing the protocols forControlled Remote Viewing, the generalpublic never heard about their work orthe work of the unit members until awell organized dis-information campaignmade it public. Do we begin to questionthe ethics here?In the mid-1990’s, the American newsmedia began airing news stories about16 eight martinis - issue:1

the work done by the members of thesecret unit, scoffing publicly at the $20million spent on SRI’s contribution tothe whole collaboration – gleefully andwith great abandon spreading the cleverlyorchestrated dis-information to themasses. Should we start the ethical discussionshere?Just where does one find a place to starttalking about the ethical applicationof C/RV when ethical issues are so intimatelyintertwined in its entire history,beginning with the start up of the secretunit, the operational work undertakenby its members, the nature of the orderspassed down through the various chainsof command, and then the calamity ofthe dis-information campaign designedto discredit everything that happened?Could we be so naive to think a discussionabout ethics in C/RV need only encompassthis short span of time? Sorry,but the story isn’t finished yet!The tender pink underbelly of this topicis the vulnerability of having everythingthere is ever to be known - known tothose of us who have been trained inC/RV. If we can tap into anything andeverything, that would lead any laypersonto these important questions - dowe individually, or as a group, or as anindustry, consider anything as secret (orsacred)? Have we ever drawn a ‘line inthe sand’ which we agree we will nevercross to get information? No? Why not?Because we can’t first agree on wherethe line should be drawn and what informationthat line represents. Oh, really?Well then, let’s try to figure this outby starting with a few questions we canagree on.Truthfully speaking, have any of us beenunknowing, unwitting pawns in someoneelse’s quest for information and indoing so innocently and unintentionallycrossed that line into what would normallybe considered sacred or secret?The answer is yes.Can we bring ourselves to admit that insome cases we have knowingly participatedin these things in order to discoversomething about a secret or sacredthings? For many of us, the answer isagain - yes.And herein lies the crux of the matter.When the topic of ethical use of C/RVcomes up, how can one debate or discussor agree on anything in such a discussionwhen the truth of the matter isthat in many cases we have, in fact, alreadyparticipated in the unethical practicesof CRV - whether we knew it at thetime or not - whether innocently or purposefully.No wonder our emotions run high whenthis issue is raised, complete with theblaming, the sarcastic remarks, the bullyingcomments meant to silence thediscussion. It has worked - and kept usfrom admitting this truth, talking aboutthis guilt whether it be by association,unintentional or accidental. But the sillytruth of the entire matter is that we allknow this about each other, ourselvesand our industry. It’s the worst kept secretwe have! We all know about it andyet we’ve done a bloody good job of hidingit all these years by refusing to talkabout the real need for ethics in our industry.Why? Perhaps because doing soreinforces the guilt we feel for our owninvolvement in it. There’s no denying it -at least there’s no denying it with us - insidethis community. Because we knowbetter.So the first step forward into some freshthinking about all this would mean werealize that by setting standards for ethicssome of us will see they may need tochange the manner in which they practiceC/RV slightly. And would that be abad thing?Secondly, for both practitioners and instructorsalike in this industry, surely wecan agree that in terms of what we’re focusingon in the ethical practice of CRV,we’re speaking of that which would normallybe considered “sacred” or “secret”in our every day lives.Much like the ‘right to privacy’ for ordinarycitizens, we all know and valueour ‘right to privacy’ and what ‘privacy’means to us personally. No one has todefine what that means. We demandthis right and respect others’ rights toprivacy in our normal daily life. And sowhat would be so different about thisright and that which is secret and sacredin terms of CRV? We should easily beable to transfer over the ‘right to privacy’to that which is normally consideredsecret - in terms of CRV, wouldn’t youthink? It’s not like we’ve been taskedwith reinventing the wheel here.I’m dumbfounded to find myself evenasking these types of question butrealize even these have been difficultto agree upon in past discussions aboutethics and C/RV. I also know we are in anage where there are not and will not beany more secrets because of C/RV. Doesthis then assume we have the ‘right toview anything and everything’ regardlessof what we understand and value inour own ‘right to privacy’? Just becausewe can view anything and everything ,does that mean we should or should beencouraged to do so? From an ethicalperspective, the answer is real simple:No!I can’t imagine there would be anydisagreement with that conclusion,but nonetheless if there is then pleaseimagine what it would be like if youhad no right to privacy while someoneinspected and passed judgment on allyour secrets, uncovered all your sacredthoughts and beliefs and commentedto others on them, ran through all yourmemories - both treasured and devastatingmaking a note of them so they canbe discussed with other people later on.Or that your efforts and plans in somethingyou’ve spent a year working on willbe revealed to someone who intends toruin you, your family, your children, yourcompany, your reputation at home, atwork, at church.The point is this: highly driven, focused,unethical people will and can use theirC/RV abilities to pursue their own agenda.And highly driven, focused unethicalpeople will hire C/RVers to pursue theiragenda. I don’t think I am speaking directlyto any of these people here butjust the same, as an industry and as agroup of ethical practitioners, I believecoming together to put a set of ethicsin place is easier than we have come tobelieve and is needed more than ever.Establishing ethical standards that wecan adopt and pass on to those who willfollow in our footsteps will begin toIssue:1 eight martinis 17

define the future of our industry.If we continue to choose to spend theremainder of our time debating thisissue, we do nothing to move theindustry forward. This is a difficultchallenge we’ve struggled with far toolong, continually getting wrapped intothe controversies it addresses, theblaming it tempts us with, and the reluctanceof the ‘nay-sayers’ to get onboard and bring with them a bona fidesolution to the issue. We need to beginto do things differently if we want tohave a different outcome. It’s time for achange.We can easily set up guidelines for solid,sound ethical practices in C/RV. And whyis this such an important goal for ourindustry? Because ethics have been atthe very core of every well respectedprofession throughout the ages. Andmoving forward we need to have ethicalstandards built right in to our community,adopted by our instructors, ourpractitioners and by our professionals.And just how do some of our professionalsin our industry grapple with thiscontroversial topic? Watch for a continuationof this discussion in “ProfessionalEthics in the CRV Industry” in our nextissue.Here’s a sneak peek:Professional Ethics in the CRVIndustry. Is there such a thing? Wouldthe standard of professional ethics holdany clout in this new industry whenethical debates still rage on? Andhow can the general public beassured that these ethical standardsare real, that they are being adheredto, and that sanctions wield any weightat all to keep professional CRVers fromstraying outside the boundaries ofwhat is acceptable within their ownprofession? Since my foray into theRemote Viewing industry 8 short yearsago, I’ve been shocked to watch discussionsinvolving ‘the ethical use of C/RV’within this community result in fumingdebates, insulting remarks, name calling,chastising, finger pointing and ferventdisagreement on what the term evenreally means.*Coleen MarenichColeen Marenich’s accomplishments,drive and first hand experience as anoperational Controlled Remote Viewermade her a natural choice to becomethe first civilian CRV Project Manager forP>S>I, Lyn Buchanan’s CRV Training company.Coleen is Canada’s first Advanced leveltrained Controlled Remote Viewer, Canada’sfirst trained CRV Project Manager,the developer and Program Director forthe P>S>I Operational Certification Program,the first in Canada to launch herown CRV Project Management companyand the first to design and develop anonline mentoring service for CRV traineeswith the launch of The GadorianGroup CRV Mentoring Program.Coleen’s direct involvement withAdvanced level Controlled Remote Viewersto hone their skills to the level ofprofessional operational effectiveness,and to mentor viewers at all levels oftraining to help them develop their CRVtalents is a major milestone in her goalto help develop professional standardsin the training and application of ControlledRemote Viewing.WWW: www.gadoriangroup.com18 eight martinis - issue:1

Sharing Experience:Rare Yet Preciousby PJ GaenirIt has always surprised me that thereisn’t more personal conversation aboutRemote Viewing experience on the internet.I don’t mean the armchair andpolitical discussions (there’s plenty ofthose), I mean discussion focused in detailon the hands-on personal experienceof the art. Public discussion anybody canread. In a world of people with entirewebsites dedicated to their fascinationwith navel lint, or their cat, you’d thinkthat the shifting semi-tangible, surprisinglyunpredictable, exasperatingly- fascinatingly-frustratingly- cool experienceof viewing would inspire myriad peopleto just go ON about it.Yet even when you collect large quantitiesof viewer discussion in one publicplace (which I have, such as the ViewerArchives, the RV Oasis Archives and theTen Thousand Roads (TKR) RVweb Forum,you see that most the conversation,even from the people most seriousabout remote viewing, from RV’s inceptionon the internet until the present,from the field’s “experts” to “newbies”,is usually about 101 topics that are notactually “experiential” discussion.That doesn’t make the talk less useful orless interesting, of course, it just makesit curiously indirect. You can go to snowboarding,woodworking or gardeningwebsites and you’ll find quite a bit of experientialdiscussion there. Yet it seemsremote viewing just doesn’t inspire peoplethe way navel lint does. Go figure!Remote Viewing rocks! How could anybodynot be raving about what they feltin session today -- and doing so all thetime?I’ve been working on theories to explainthe mystery of minimal ‘experiential’discussion online.Perhaps it’s the tendency of viewing tobe a bit “intimate” that makes peoplehesitate. It’s subtle, and it often lacksclosure. It’s disturbing and moving, inspiringand confusing; it ranges from themost subtle art to a spiritual experience.Not everybody wants to share that ‘personal’stuff with all of earth, I suppose.Perhaps it’s that RV can be political as acomparative process. If your experienceincludes something inaccurate, have youmade your method or your trainer lookbad? Will such a post be followed bysomeone else one-upping you with theirsuperior (insert claim here)? Maybe it’snot so much what one has to share aswhat they think of the likely responses.Perhaps it’s the focus on practical-RVthat makes people hesitate, especiallyif their experience is outside the mainstream.For example, when I talk aboutCRV, people seem to virtually nod inagreement. But when I tell them that inthe midst of brief sessions (on yes-theywere-feedback-targets)I helped ArchangelMichael release a trapped soul andthen accidentally merged with Steve Mc-Queen Souls, people act like they thinkI’m a freak. (I can’t imagine why.)The experiential “inner” component ofviewing is surely as important as ourvarying external processes. Most of ourexternal processes only exist to helpunderstand and direct and communicatethose internal experiences anyway.One of the best ways to share ‘experientialtalk’ about viewing online is viablogs. There aren’t as many RemoteViewing blogs as you might expect, andmost are not “experiential” in nature(more are ‘news’ or ‘promotion’ thanpersonal, even when run by individuals).But there’s a few, and the viewerstalking about their hands-on experienceare worth encouraging. Despite therarity of this focus, people have oftentold me they just love reading that kindof stuff, and wish there was more of it.For new viewers in particular, searchingfor “something real” to peruse abouttheir new RV fascination, the hands-onexperiential writings can be inspiring.If you don’t have a remote viewing blog,why not consider starting one? Everyviewer has a unique experience-setand perspective, and others might benefitfrom seeing yours. No matter howunique or common your approach to thesubject is, I guarantee there’s someoneon the internet who will really relate toyou!You can get free public blogs at wordpress.organd blogger.com. If you needhelp setting it up, most RV bloggerswould probably answer email free just tobe kind. And if you want to be sure otherviewers know about it, post the linkto your new site in some highly publicplace, like TKR. Hope to see you online!*Issue:1 eight martinis 19

What is The Matrix?A Primer.Remote Viewing has a lot of terminology,but one of the most famous terms is THE MATRIX.by PJ GaenirWhat is The Matrix?It’s God’s Database. You provide your target#,which has been psychically boundto your target like velcro duct tape withinthe matrix, via the tasker (by a processso confidential we’d have to shoot you ifwe told you, but bear in mind it’s illegalin 18 states and the UK and especiallyoffensive to those of Marvian AdvancedMoral Standing).Your target# as written on paper is rewritteninto MSQL (Matrixian StructuredQuery Language, pronounced “pray” forshort), and rendered in order of submissionsequence to the quantum asynapticalprocess unit. The queuing processgoes something like this:{in a lovely automated sexy female Jetsons-likevoice:}Welcome to the Matrix Universal AkashicRepository System.Please listen to our menu, as our optionshave changed!Para habla guadacanal, kanji Brie.For wandering blindly in the dark, pleasepress 1.For staring at the paper until your eyeswater, please press 2.For rolling through an amazing sessionthat has no relation to your target,please press 3.For obscure furled-pieces of archetypalsymbols condensed into the names offlowers, press 4.To hear this menu again, please pressthe triangle button.To exit this sytem without commitment,please say “Zzzzzzzz”.HENCE your query finally makes senseto the Matrix, which is not to say it’sthe correct question to begin with ofcourse, but WHEREAS prayers don’t fitinto a database any better than “soon”or “eventually” fit into date fields onspreadsheets, it is necessary that somebasic coding and tweaking go on invisiblyin the background -- I’m sure you understand.At which point, having been de-renderedback into its original meaning beforeyour puny little brain distorted it, theMatrix is asked:SELECT * FROM MY_UNIVERSEWHERE BEATPATTERN IN (0,1) AND(PROBABILITY = ‘YES’ AND GULLIBILITY >0) ANDTA R G E T I D = 1 9 8 3 ^ 1 2 E 8 Z . 1 2 3 8 7 9ZZ123.67841-Q AND(FOCUS LIKE ‘%USEFUL OR DESCRIP-TIVE%’ ORFOCUS IN (‘LOST IN SPACE’,’OFF ONMARS’))GROUP BY ‘C-S-T-Q-M-RV STAGE’ORDER BY STRUCTUREPOINTFinally after all that laborious work thatis invisible to you (so now you know howamazing the universe truly is), the Matrix22 eight martinis - issue:1

processes your MSQL request, and givesyou back a response which can varywidely, such asException 5200.718: Failure to completesocketYou will know when you get this messageby the way you realize you’ve been sittingthere for 10 minutes with your eyesglazed over and there’s nothing on yourpaper. Or:Exception 198201.123: String TruncationErrorWhich means that unbeknownst to you(since you’re double-/solo- blind whenviewing), you tried to ask a complexquestion such as “what is the psychologicalstate of the target individual on June16, 1982, at 1:00PM?” but the inputwas so over-sized that it cannot be processed,and/or you better hope it can’tbe, because if it is, the Matrix will be requiredto give you a highly abbreviated,condensed but of course 100% totallyaccurate answer like:Gouda.And as you well know, without the MondoSuper Psychic Demon DecryptionRing Of Darkness -- which costs morethan money, if you know what I mean-- you will not be able to “unfurl” this decryptedmessage. Alternatively, the Matrixmay return a message such as:Exception 1237.19 Queryparam invalidbindingwhich as everyone knows, means thatyour tasker failed to do the proper leftanklemassage prior to meditating, and/or only meditated for 14.5 minutes insteadof the full 15 when binding yourtask# to the target in the Matrix, settingup a whole slew of cascade failures thatyou cannot possibly be held responsiblefor as a viewer.Should you have any session that failsto reveal sufficient omniscience (whichmethod Q^Z-RV totally ensures -- atleast, as long as you have purchased allrelevant modules from an authorizedprovider -- bittorrent doesn’t count, pirates!),you can be certain that somewherealong the line it is all the tasker’sfault. Should you be unable to blamethe tasker because he holds a black belt,simply note that your task ID consists ofcharacters which have surely seen eachother before at some point in the historyof time, and you are surely accurateabout what you perceived, but it makesperfect sense that this was probably ametallic mold from a donut shop in ancientPompeii rather than the fish pondfountain target of today. I mean, timehas no meaning, and someone else obviouslyalready used that number, so whatcan be expected?But of course those are only occasionalglitches, and usually the Matrix is muchmore forthcoming! Take heart! At doublethe speed of light, dating back intime to before the tasker was even conceivedof by their ancestors, the answerto your query will be beamed into yourlocal universe in your present focal-pointof time.

TDS Remote Viewingfrom Jesus to JFKby Daz Smith & Tunde AtunraseThis endevour is all about sharing the best working examples of Remote Viewing and information.In this first Issue we present two great examples of Remote viewing from a long time friend andcolleague of mine Tunde Atunrase. Tunde and I (Daz) have worked and discussed RV late into thenight for approx eight years or so now and these presented RV sessions are projects I blindly taskedTunde. The Assassination of JFk and the man known as Jesus aged 30.Issue:1 eight martinis 25

TDS Remote Viewing from Jesus to JFKEight martinis is all about exampleRemote Viewing sessions like these andsharing the best experiences and usesof Remote Viewing so all can learn fromthem - each Issue we hope to bring yougreat examples of remote Viewing and Ithank Tunde for being the first.If you are unfamiliar with the TDS methodused - then I suggest you downloadan use for reference the TDS methoddocument (link supplied below).TDS like all RV methods, has its roots inIngo’s CRV, but as you’d expect the yearsof working within SRV at Farsight andPrudence’s unique slant on the world,has in my opinion produced a fresh,holistic and modern - with a woman’snatural touch approach to a RemoteViewing method. Not so easily found inthe language and format of Ingo’s andthe military CRV methods that came before.TDS is (as far as I am aware) no longertaught as Prudence left the RemoteViewing field, but the documentationand writings on the method and RV canbe found here:Prudence blogTDS methodology (Aura Bomb.pdf)Tunde gave me a few words about him,his Rv so here they are:“All my life I have been interested withthe paranormal and parapsychology asa whole so when the opportunity camealong I jumped at the chance to takesome formal RV training from PrudenceCalabrese former president and cofounder of TDS (Trans-Dimensional Systems)now defunct* back in 2002.I have been using the method ever sinceand modified it to suit my own developmentover the years. Recently I’ve beenincorporating some S4-S5 elements ofthe original CRV method into my work.Daz wanted me to contribute a coupleof sessions to eight martini’s I have donefor him out of hundreds worked duringthe past 7 years. One memorable sessionwas taking a peep at the Grassy knollDallas Texas and the assassination of JFKand another surprisingly which turnedout to be Jesus Of Nazareth at the ageof 30.Both sessions although lacking in specificfeedback to varying degrees (the formerhaving zero feedback) we found bothsessions raised some interesting questionsregarding both targets from a historicalperspective.The overriding feeling I got from the JFKsession was one of ‘crossfire’ or the feelingof being under siege from differentangles. Was JFK really killed by a lonegunman ? Perhaps but the data in thesession seems to suggest shots werefired from the grassy knoll but until feedbackis provided to prove otherwise andbeyond all reasonably doubt it remains atarget with not much feedback althoughI am sure a few would disagree withthat assumption.As many a viewer will testify, Jesus asa target can be quite memorable and Ihave never known a viewer not to feelan overwhelming sense of awe and loveduring the viewing. I remember startingoff the sketch deep in session and beingdrawn towards copying a picture of Jesusin my room at the time. The drawingprobably took about an hour to completeand remains one of my favouriteRV sketches of all time.As always ALL the viewing was donecompletely blind and I was alone at thetime of viewing. Both targets were givento a group of viewers who were equallyall blind to the nature of the target All wehad to go on was the target coordinatesprovided by Daz.The adventures continue....”.Tunde Atunrase.*Target: 1091-6209Target cue: The Grassy Knoll, - Dallas, Nov 23rd 1963, 12.28pmMove to the optimum position and describe the place known as the ‘grassyknoll’, describe any life forms at this place, describe the unfolding event.* please remember this is the targeting cue written by the tasker - the viewer only had the target number (1091-6209)as information and was given this information only with the feedback.26 eight martinis - issue:1

Medical Remote Viewingby Andrew UsherUK-RV was then formed in early 2008 to investigate remote viewing and itsapplications within medicine and human development (Med RV).UK-RV in many respects was born out ofa comment I heard 10 years ago while attendinga medical conference for remoteand rural medical practitioners in Scotland.The comment I overheard was “wemight as well use psychics!”, and was inresponse to a proposed idea that the outof hours emergency services would becovered by using telemedicine, wherebya patient would go to a booth and discusstheir medical situation with a practitionermany hundreds of miles away viainformation technology. However, littledid I realise that 10 years later I would beinvestigating medical applications usinga form of psychical functioning.After several years of looking at aspectsof intuition and medicine, and psychicphenomena, one issue plagued my research,namely protocol, replicationand consistency. It was whilst studyingaspects of the Slavonic health systemand its connection to Russian psychics,that I came upon remote viewing, andone year later Paul Smith kindly came toScotland to conduct his first UK remoteviewing training.UK-RV was then formed in early 2008 toinvestigate remote viewing and its applicationswithin medicine and human development(Med RV). All of our medicalprojects are overseen with a registeredmedical practitioner and work in accordanceto strict medical ethics and confidentiality.We are also very fortunatethat we have the input of Paul Smith inregard to projects and conceptualisation.One year on we have conducted manyprojects, concluded several sessions forprivate clients and have very positivefindings, and with this has come muchpublic pressure and interest from themedia to reveal our work and findings.Due to the sensitivity and nature of thework I have been reluctant to go intomuch detail about our findings and casehistories. One of the most fundamentalaspects to our projects relates to medicalethics. It is imperative that the aspectsof confidentiality remain true tothe project, and it is for this reason I oftenfind myself pulled in two directions.In one direction I want to show what ourresults have been and how controlled remoteviewing can be applied medically,but in the other direction I have concernsin regard to how such data could be misused,and how catastrophic it could beto potential clients. I also have concernsthat people would set themselves up asa medical diagnostics tool without adequatetraining, knowledge or an understandingof the remote viewing process.It is imperative that we protect the vulnerableand do not abuse the potentialof medical remote viewing, and ourfindings have shown that there are possibilitiesto use the data within medicalcase histories and case management,although much caution and commonsense needs to be applied, and the participationof a medical professional is anecessity.However it also my belief that Med RVis still in its infancy and requires muchmore research and development. Sincewe embarked on this project many theoreticaland practical aspects have unveiledthemselves, aspects which pertainto controlled remote viewing as a whole,such as issues to do with frontloading,the necessity to follow a structured CRV40 eight martinis - issue:1

process, understanding the clients language patterns and howit pertains to stage 2 and much more.As an example of an application, what follows is a forensicmedical remote session worked by UK-RV.The task:Describe the health of the patient as of the 9th of February2000.“This case was chosen to look at the possibility of forensic RV. Apatient that had been seen 8 years ago had been chosen. Thispatient unfortunately died of pancreatic cancer shortly afterour initial consultation. The aim of this project was to see if thefour remote viewers could identify the presenting symptompicture of the patient and the root cause of the case, which idid not know as of 9th February 2000. This case highlights thetype of information that can be accessed though remote viewingin a medical context, and shows the potential of forensicmedical remote viewing.”Case History, a snippet from my casenotes:Patient: XXXXXXXXXGender: FemaleDate of Birth: XXXXXXXConsultation: XXXXXXXXAround one and a half years ago XXXXXXX started to experiencesymptoms of wanting to drink lots of water, a general increasein thirst, accompanied by the need to go to the toiletafterwards. She then over the period of time started to loseweight and overall has lost around two stones. This is all accompaniedby a general loss of taste in her mouth. Of late hermouth has been dry, with a salty taste. She is frightened to goout in case of need for urination. Due to her thirst and drynessof mouth she carries a bottle of water with her. She has notbeing sleeping well, and is prone to feeling stressed due to avariety of factors from family to general life problems and isupset at other peoples tragedies. General depression due toworry over health. She complains of stabbing shooting rightsided pains.genetically. She mentions heat, a generalised intense feeling,and complains of seeing redness.Allopathically she has had an endoscopy, as she had what probablyappears to have been an ulcer, which has been treated byLosec. However this seems to have cleared and all blood testsare normal although she was told there was no sugar in herurine. Allopathically she is being given a possible diagnosis ofIrritable Bowel Syndrome.Outcome of my initial meeting with theclient.I was not happy with the way the client appeared, as she lookedexceptionally jaundiced. I intimated that she should go see herGP immediately and have some blood test taken as I was concernedof the possibility of her having Diabetes Mellitus.A day later her doctor confirmed she did indeed have DiabetesMellitus, but that he was concerned about her pancreasand some swelling in her abdomen, and had referred her foran immediate ultrasound. Test revealed pancreatic cancer. Thepatient then died two weeks later.I was curious to see if a medical remote viewing session wouldnot only pick up my initial consultation notes and the feelingsand sensation of the patient, but also the organic disease patternwhich could not be seen by me physically at the time i hadseen the client for a complementary medical evaluation.What the remote viewers data revealed:Viewer UKRV-B003Mentally and emotionally she is more irritable and due to lossof weight feels as if everyone is staring at her, and talking abouther. This has led her to not wanting to go out, and becomingself conscious of her appearance. Generally she is outgoing,extroverted who loves to go out to ballroom dances and socialoccasions, so this is rather out of character for her.His skin tone is very gray and she is complaining of her fingertipsgoing wrinkly. She has also has palpations during thisperiod also. She is concerned about her heart. She is very slimIssue:1 eight martinis 41

Viewer UKRV-B003Viewer: Daz(This diagram was by Viewer MARTIN OLLIER (mjo) )This drawing was particularly important and interesting, especially when we look at the following clip art picture of the pancreas.42 eight martinis - issue:1

Conclusion:What is worth remembering is that on the 9th of February Ionly had the initial consultation information to go on, i did nothave any pathology results to show or demonstrate that theclient had pancreatic cancer, and likewise none of the aboveremote viewers had any access to information pertaining tothis case, and yet despite this, not only did the viewers pickup on the symptom picture expressed by the client, includingthe AOL suggestion of dancing, but two viewers picked up datarelating the internal organs and that of a diseased state. Whenwe look at the diagram representing the pancreas and that ofthe drawing, although displaced, we can see a striking resemblance.However what is worth noting is that the one session,despite the striking resemblance in regard to the pancreas isnot enough to complete the whole picture. The whole pictureis only revealed through all of the remote viewing sessionsand analysis of the data. The correlation of data to symptompicture is exceptionally high through the four sessions, andclearly demonstrates that further investigation and research isrequired.Next time i will describe the UK-RV Med RV process andsome of the theoretical and practical aspects that have unveiledthemselves.*Until next time, Good Viewing.Andrew Usher is both the partner and Complementary Medicine Consultant forDunbeath Surgery, and Director of LivingFlow .

Remote Viewing Blogsby PJ GaenirPersonal blogs of viewers talking about their experience,their sessions, their interests and theories are some ofthe most “real” remote viewing reading material on theinternet. (I mean blogs not sponsored (directly or indirectly)by income (much, anyway), but which are one individual’spersonal take on the world and RV.)There aren’t as many Remote Viewing blogs as you’d expect,given the publicity it’s had for 14 years now. Several existthat are promotional sites. A few aren’t really about RV, butcommercial products. Most that come up in searches areactually about 50 different topics, with Remote Viewing beingonly one. I think it’s fairly common for any personal blogto cover up to half a dozen subjects, but anything more thanthat and RV is just a side-note, not a focus.I thought I would share with you some of the “personalblogs” in remote viewing online. Most all of these have RSSfeeds for your own reader. I’ll give direct links to three of myfavorite articles from each.
