History Of Remote Viewing

Remote Viewing is a technique that allows trained individuals to perceive information in distant locations. Remote Viewing can be learned by almost anyone, although the CIA and similar groups appear to have pursued individuals with a greater propensity or ability for it in their programs. In Remote Viewing a person sits in a room that is bare of any distractions and is given a set of coded coordinates to report back on. The person enters a state of meditative awareness and searches for the information. Upon returning, they sketch or otherwise describe their experience. The results are compared for accuracy, with several individuals frequently working on the same "target," to provide greater accuracy and information.

A Brief History of Remote Viewing

Remote Viewing programs were started by leading intelligence and military groups some time in the early 1970s. This was largely a response to intelligence that indicated that Russia was pursuing such a program. United States intelligence forces did not want to get caught by surprise, by such a technique, so they began investigating and later, training, individuals in the Remote Viewing process.

Towards the end of the 1980s, increased public scrutiny caused the CIA and military agencies to close their Remote Viewing programs. Apparently, they feared public reaction to the idea that they were funding "psychic" research. There is some speculation that smaller versions of these programs continue today, but they are deeply protected. Most participants in those programs say that the information gathered was considered sufficiently accurate to be useful--in an intelligence environment, there is no such thing as 100 percent accurate intelligence from a single source. The military claims the programs were "not cost-effective."

Some articles and books on Remote Viewing were published during the late 1980s by researchers and participants in the programs. Some of these participants have since begun teaching the protocols and processes they learned to the general public. There are generally several levels of training in these programs and participants are guided towards greater and greater accuracy. The scientific method of observation and verification used in the development of this technique is still very much a part of most training programs. Most teachers say that Remote Viewing is, ultimately, an expression of our connection to the whole web of life and consciousness throughout the universe. They believe developing this ability in an ethical way can ultimately benefit all of humanity.
