Ideograms

In remote viewing, ideograms are the set of symbols used to quickly sketch out an impression. They are very simple shapes that indicate different aspects or qualities of a location. The original researchers developed them--when the remote viewing process was under the auspices of the CIA--to circumvent the conscious mind. Ideally, this renders more accurate information.

Ideograms and Concepts

During the development of the remote viewing process, it became necessary to create a method that would allow the viewer to circumvent the conscious mind. Apparently, it was discovered that, when a subject comes to the attention of the conscious mind, the viewer has a window of about three seconds before the conscious mind begins to manufacture ideas, speculation and associations that will skew the data. In order to prevent that, some very quick method of rendering impressions visually had to be created. The ideograms were the solution.

There are 5 basic ideograms that are used in remote viewing. They are drawn with a black pen, such as a Mitsubishi Uniball fine point, or similar pen that can draw quickly and easily without tearing the paper. The following ideas or "gestalts" as they are often called in the remote viewing literature, represent different conditions or objects that may be present at a target site. There may be more for special circumstances and it's possible that different groups of remote viewers may have developed others that relate specifically to their work.

There is a right angle ideogram shape that represents buildings or structures. A straight horizontal line represents land, because targets can be at sea or in space, as well as inside the body (for medical viewers). A peak or upside-down "V" shape indicates mountains or hills. A series of coiled loops represents the sea or water. It also can indicate electricity. A tall, single loop, like a cursive "L" indicates a person. The viewer records impressions for three seconds, puts the pen down, looks and records again for a total of three times. The results are then compared to the target for accuracy or to other impressions of the same coordinates for consistency.
