Abstract

“Remote viewing” (RV) is the practice of using one’s mind and senses to acquire information about people, places, things, and events that are remote in space and time from the person doing the perceiving, using scientifically established tools and methods developed by reputable parapsychology researchers over time.  It first came to public attention and legitimacy in Fall 1995 after it was disclosed that elements of the U.S.  military and intelligence community had been officially but covertly using it for purposes of foreign espionage, rescue/retrieval, and illegal-drug interdiction for almost twenty years.   In the years following, former military practitioners began writing books about it and training interested civilians in the known protocols of remote viewing for civilian applications.

This talk will discuss what remote viewing is and is not, the theories underlying its practice and efficacy, where and how it was developed, its modalities of use and applications, and its limitations.   Recommendations for further learning, training, and practice will be offered for those who are interested.   There will not be time to engage in any demonstrations or trial experiments by attendees of the remote-viewing experience.
