PREFACE

Remote viewing; that mind stuff that was developed for the military, was all debunked years, ago right? Nobody in their right mind would even give it a second look. Its all nonsense, say the skeptics! Its the work of the devil, designed to lead good people away from God, chime in the churches! Scientists claim, remote viewing is not scientific, and theres not a shred of evidence or any theories to support it! Ive heard all the objections and more! Now put aside your beliefs and skepticism and imagine that all this is real!

Just what is remote viewing or, as it is generally termed, RV? Remote viewing is the trained ability of individuals to perceive other peoples activities and locations, objects and events, using something other than the usual five senses. It is a normal human ability that has helped many people in difficult times, particularly during crises. It has humanitarian uses in finding missing people, solving crimes and locating lost or hidden items. Remote viewing has been used by businessmen to buy, run and sell companies, has assisted realtors in locating and selling properties and helped thousands of people to resolve problems.

Did you know that over forty plus years of professional research and development have gone into remote viewing? And that the US government and military have funded and operated remote viewing units for over twenty years? Or that educational groups such as Stanford Research Institute and Princeton University studied RV for over three decades? And did you know of the dozens of remote viewing schools around the US and abroad that have trained thousands of students? Remote Viewing is alive and kicking!

INTRODUCTION

Even before I moved to the States from England in 1981, I knew about remote viewing and the work of researchers Dr. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International in Palo Alto, CA. From the late summer of 1978, to the beginning of 1981, I was working as a medical researcher and completing my Masters degree at the Department of Child Health of Manchester Universitys Medical School, in England. Part of my work involved searching scientific literature sources for interesting neuroscience articles. That was where I came across Puthoff and Targs classic work, A Perceptual Channel for Information Transfer over Kilometer Distances: Historical Perspective and Recent Research. The paper was published in the prestigious, Proceedings of the IEEE , March 1976. I was more than interested and mailed off to the States for a reprint. Little did I realize where my life would take me in the next 30 plus years and that I would become part of the intriguing world of remote viewing.

My path to becoming a remote viewer began officially when I started volunteering at the Psychophysical Research Laboratory (PRL), a parapsychology laboratory in Princeton, NJ. I was a Spontaneous Remote Viewer, using my natural intuitive skills. Later I volunteered and then worked at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Laboratory at Princeton University, NJ. At Princeton I was familiar with a research methodology called Remote Perception and, later, Extended Remote Viewing (ERV), a stream-of-consciousness method of remote viewing. Many years later, I was trained by two ex-military Star Gate remote viewers: Paul H. Smith of RVIS and Lyn Buchanan of PSI, in a method called Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV).

Eventually, in 1994, I set up my own company to carry out remote viewing consulting and to train other remote viewers. Most of my early remote viewing work was unpaid and performed on a humanitarian basis. Later, I was paid by multiple clients for my remote viewing work. The projects in this book range from blind (no up-front information) to, partially front-loaded (some non-leading up-front operational information), to fully informed. In my opinion all these conditions provide valid RV data when looking for unknown or new information.

After thirty plus years of remote viewing, I have decided to share many of the projects that I have worked on over the decades. Some of the later projects included a team of voluntary, trained and natural remote viewers: The Nevada Remote Viewing Group (NRVG). The members of the NRVG consist of viewers from across the World who are called on as needed and when time and their schedules allow.

Some projects I still cannot talk about due to confidentiality and signed agreements. I was tempted to recount many of my early adventures with OBEs and paranormal experiences, but they can be read about in my book, Remote Perceptions: Out-of-Body Experiences, Remote Viewing and other Normal Experiences.

The following journal entries and actual cases are taken from my records: journals that span over 30 years. I have limited the content to focus on remote viewing and other consciousness development and excluded material describing my UFO interests and shamanic training and applications. Also not included in this book are the hundreds of smaller projects carried out for private individuals. I have taken out any personal information that might create awkwardness to any individual; it is not my intent to dishonor anyone but to truthfully relate the journey.

Hopefully, these accounts of real-life remote viewing projects and stories will inspire and encourage others to take training and become involved in the exciting world of remote viewing.

CASE FILES AND JOURNALS 1980's

Note: The following case entries are taken from my ongoing journals and files. I am not a daily journal writer so the dates on the entries are sometimes days, weeks or even months apart, and sometimes there are several entries for the same date, but they give some idea of what a remote viewers life is like. The first few years of this document are reviews rather than single journal entries. Also, I have been selective and only included journal entries that have some relevance to remote viewing. Similarly, with the case files, these have been selected from my records as being instructive, useful and interesting. I have not included confidential projects that I have carried out for business clients/customers or groups where I have signed nondisclosures.

Reviews 1983-1984.

The American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR).

In 1983, I missed an important opportunity to work with Dr. Karlis Osis at the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) in New York. Interesting people in the RV world, such as Ingo Swann, had participated in research with Dr. Osis and his staff at the ASPR. In 1983, I had written to Dr. Osis to inquire about their Out-Of-Body-Experience (OBE) research and was invited by to visit the Institute. Unfortunately, at that time, I could not afford the time-off from my job, to take a day or two to visit New York. Who knows, perhaps I would have met Ingo Swann, the Father of Remote Viewing, and other notables in the OBE and remote viewing world?

Sometimes, when we cannot take a path at a certain time, the path meets up with us again, and I eventually got to meet Ingo Swann and visit the ASPR. Ingo wrote the foreword to my earlier book Remote Perceptions, and I was able to visit with him, many times, when I was in Manhattan, NY.

Each time I visited, Ingo would bring out examples of materials from his students: unclassified remote viewing sessions, clay models, plans, graphs and sketches, and talked at length about his philosophies and ideas. I consider myself fortunate to have received an informal training from Ingo. In 2008, Ingo asked me to carry out a remote viewing session for him. I cannot reveal any personal information, but I did warn him of the coming financial recession that would get worse towards the end of the year. Ingo passed away in 2013 and is sadly missed.
