Here's an abridged extract from an article I wrote for a local magazine last year. It's aimed at total newbies and should help anyone with no knowledge or experience at all of RV get started (using the initial stages of the CRV method).

Space and time exists as one gigantic, holographic NOW. The past has not passed, the present was always here. Reality exists as one infinitely giant and interconnected matrix (and yes, the term was being used in this manner waaaaaay before the film), with the future existing as an ever-coalescing mss of resolving probabilities. We, as human beings, are meshed into this matrix and have complete mental access to ALL contained within it. Alas, bound as we are by the rather dense physical dimension that we inhabit, and, more importantly, by the limitations of our own belief systems, we fail to realise this and tootle along in sheer ignorance of the library card we’ve had wedged in our back pockets since birth.
So how do we access this information then? Is it really all that easy? Unfortunately no; it’s not. As close to the matrix as we are, we are all possessed of imagination-toting egos, assigned us at the moment of creation to help us negotiate a real and physical world full of sabre tooth tigers, traffic wardens and daytime television. Comprised of the compounded experience of this ego, our conscious mind likes to think that it knows what’s what.
Ask it to describe the eruption of Mount Vesuvius for you and it will, by gum. It was hot, of course, and the lava ran down the hill like that scene in Dante’s Peak and the people were caught unawares like I learned in history class etc etc
No good. Constructed Ego 1, Actual Event 0. It’s hogwash; pure imagination, albeit likely, yet a well-educated surmising at best.
But get this. What the early pioneers of Remote Viewing found was that it was perfectly possible to direct someone’s attention to a certain point in space and time WITHOUT them knowing what it was or to where they were mentally going. Moreover, it was also perfectly possible for the ‘viewer’ to provide an accurate and verifiable description of whatever it was they found there, without their imagination getting in the way.
At first the experimenters used geographical co-ordinates to have their subjects spy on locations around the world but soon it became bewilderingly clear that a simple set of numbers attached to a written command of a photograph of the target site would do just as well.
Take this, for example.
2781 0201In a real RV experiment this set of co-ordinates apply to a target somewhere someplace. I would have the photo of the target to which they apply hidden in an envelope (marked with these numbers) in a drawer, my pocket...wherever you're not. I’d like you to remote view the target and tell me what you find. Please.
How Do I Remote View?Like any skill, accurate and consistent Remote Viewing takes time and practice. Like any other skill, however, some small degree of success can be expected straight away. It’s all about trying; he who dares and all that.
As with any other technology, there are many people out there offering training courses (often ridiculously expensive) and instruction books for the aspirant viewer. Do bear in mind however that NONE of these are really necessary for one to learn how to remote view; much of what you need to know can be found for free on the internet. Take the Controlled Remote Viewing manual found at
www.crvmanual.com for instance. Created for military training purposes and based specifically upon the original method as developed by Ingo Swann et al, this is essential reading for anyone serious about learning how to view. Other good free resources exist, including
www.tenthousandroads.com, a remote viewing forum and website of which this writer is an administrator.
Before any of that, however, allow me to talk you through your first remote viewing session. I have a target I really want you to view.
View What? Huh? How?
Okay. Here’s how. You’ll need a pen and some blank sheets of A4 paper. Take these somewhere nice and quiet where you are unlikely to be disturbed for the next 30 minutes. Sit yourself down at a table, with the pen and paper before you.
Ready? Excellent. Read on, all the way to the end of this section, before beginning your session. I am about to run you through the (basic) rudiments of what a remote viewing entails.
At the top of your first blank sheet I want you to write your co-ordinates.
2781 0201. Now put your pen down and read on.
Your first step is to close your eyes and empty your mind of as much surface jibber jabber as you can manage. All those thoughts you were having, that random shuffle of imagery passing behind your closed eyelids. Try and slow it down to nothing. This will be hard and may take some time; five minutes, maybe ten. Concentrate on your breathing if it helps, or count yourself down mentally. You want to end up somewhere between alert and dozy. Breathe deeply. Relax.
When you judge yourself good and ready, you are going to report the following affirmation to yourself five times. I WILL NOW ACCESS AND DESCRIBE THIS TARGET. Slow, mentally. Five times. Don’t feel silly.
The IdeogramNow open your eyes and pick up your pen. Quickly, without thinking, scribble your target number (2781 0201) at the top of your sheet. As your pen completes the final nine, let it produce a small, almost unconscious scribble on the page. Don’t worry what it looks like; just scribble, for no more than a second.
There. You’ve just made contact with the target. Contained within that involuntary squiggle (or ‘ideogram’) is your subconscious’ autonomic reaction to the target. A reaction too brief to register in your conscious mind, yet nevertheless a link has been forged, a signal line has been established down which all subsequent impressions will shortly flow.
Probing the IdeogramSimply put, you now use your pen nib as a ‘probe’, pressing it into the squiggle / ideogram and recording any impressions as they come. Each time you press your pen nib into the line ask yourself the following questions:
What can I hear?
What textures can I feel?
What colours can I see?
What can I smell?
What can I taste?
What else is the target trying to tell me?
Each time you probe the ideogram try to watch out for flashes of information as they arrive. Note these down as they do so, resisting the urge to think about what you are receiving; just describe. Feel free to repeat the scribbling of numbers and the ideogram a few times…keep probing, recording, describing those impressions.
The ‘data’ will feel like tiny bursts of memory-like information, fleeting wisps of sensation. It will NOT come ready-wrapped in the form of whole objects, things or places. Full-on visuals such as these are invariably your conscious mind trying to ‘guess’ what the target is and should be declared as trash by writing them down to the right of your page. (The proper term for this is ‘trash’ is Analytic Overlay or AOL and is the bane of all viewers; minimise your AOL and your viewing will improve dramatically.)
Remember…you are NOT trying to name the target, simply describe it. Do NOT try to guess what it is or think about it in any way. The moment you consciously start thinking about the target you invite your imagination to step in and can kiss goodbye to any accurate data.
Just describe. Scribble the numbers and ideogram, probe, describe. Two minutes or so should do it.
Now grab a second sheet of blank A4. You are going to attempt a basic sketch of the target. Again, do NOT think about what you are doing. Just let your pen nib go wherever it wants to go, draw whatever it wants to draw. Record any other impressions as words as and when they come. Spend no more than one minute on this.
Now write ‘session end’ at the bottom of your page and put the pen down. You’re done.
So How Did I Do?Well, that all depends on what your target was. Go ask for a look t the feedback picture and judge for yourself based on the impressions you got. Don't kid yourself...if you haven't described the target then you most probably did. Then again, be on the lookout for snippets of data that COULD be the target coming through; just don't be pushing square chunks into circular holes. You should
know if you've hit target or not. Be honest and open, and don't beat yourself up if you fail; just leave it a day and try again. It is possible. You
will succeed eventually. Happy viewing!
