Remote Viewing
Remote viewing is the practice of gathering information about a distant or unseen target using only the mind — no physical interaction, no technology, just focused consciousness.
It’s like using your mind as a “psychic satellite” to see things beyond the range of the five senses. This could be a location, object, person, or event — past, present, or sometimes even future.
🧠 What Happens in Remote Viewing?
In a typical session, a person (called the viewer) tries to describe or sketch details about:
-
A hidden object or photo
-
A faraway location
-
A historical event
-
A person or activity they have no normal access to
The viewer doesn’t know what the target is — they’re given only a code number or vague cue (called a tasking). This way, the info they “see” comes from their subconscious, not logical guessing.
🛰️ Where Does It Come From?
Remote viewing gained serious attention in the 1970s when it was used in secret U.S. military and intelligence programs, like:
-
Project Stargate
-
SRI International (Stanford Research Institute) research
The CIA and other agencies funded this work to investigate whether psychic spying could be real — and in some cases, it apparently worked well enough to keep funding going for 20+ years.
Key figures:
-
Ingo Swann (considered the father of remote viewing)
-
Pat Price
-
Joseph McMoneagle
-
Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff (scientists at SRI)
🌀 How Does It Supposedly Work?
Remote viewing is based on the idea that:
-
All information exists in some universal field (like the collective unconscious or quantum consciousness)
-
The mind can “tap into” this field and pull out specific info with focus and intent
-
You don’t have to be psychic — anyone can learn it with the right training
📝 A Typical Remote Viewing Session
-
Get the Target Number (e.g., “8942-ELXQ”) – this is randomly assigned to an unknown location/object.
-
Quiet the Mind – often through light meditation or relaxation.
-
Start Drawing or Writing impressions:
-
Shapes, colors, textures
-
Sounds, smells, temperatures
-
Emotions or energetic "vibes"
-
-
Build a Sketch – as impressions grow, many viewers sketch scenes or objects they “see.”
-
Compare with Real Target – after the session, the viewer’s notes are matched with the actual target.
🧬 Scientific View?
-
Skeptics: Say it’s imagination, guesswork, or subconscious pattern-matching.
-
Supporters: Say controlled experiments (e.g. at SRI) showed statistically significant results that can’t be explained by chance.
-
Status: Still controversial — often labeled pseudoscience, but with a loyal following, especially in intelligence, spiritual, and paranormal circles.
