Remote Viewing and the protocols<\/h3><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>The pure definition states that remote viewing is the ability to obtain information about things (places, people, events) that are not accessible to the normal senses, for example when we are separated in space, time or by shielding.

The term “Remote Viewing” was coined by Ingo Swann in 1971 [1] and later used by him and the researchers at SRI to distinguish a technique of “controlled clairvoyance” from the traditional forms of Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>One of the most important characteristics of remote viewing compared to other techniques is the development of a self-control of the “mental noise”. In (so-called) traditional ESP, one of the biggest problems has always been the mixing of “real” mediumistic signals and impressions projected over them by one’s own mind, which tends to then be a scattered mixture of ones own experiences, ideas and signal line information. An evolutionarily absolutely sensible program for survival, but it actively prevents the perceiver from simply reproducing unevaluated and neutral data fragments. The exact emergence of this “mental noise” \u2013 remote viewers refer to it as “analytic overlay” or AOL \u2013 and, based on this, the development of strategies to avoid it, was the research topic of the developers of today’s remote viewing methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>Two trusted types of remote viewing were developed in the 1980s and later used in the military unit in Ft. Meade practically, both of which deal with the AOL problem in different ways.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>The first of these, ERV or “extended remote viewing,” was based on traditional relaxation and meditation techniques whose goal was to suppress consciousness almost to the edge of sleep, thereby promoting a deeper connection with the medial “signal” and minimizing mental “noise.” ERV is related to GRV (Generic Remote Viewing), the working method of the first remote viewers in the scientific research series on ESP at the Stanford Research Institute. [2]<\/p>\n
Because the viewer is in a deeper state of relaxation (theta state) during this technique, an interviewer, later called a monitor, was used to guide the session and elicit the information. The viewer then made sketches. The sessions were mostly recorded as audio and later transcribed. [3]<\/p>\n<\/div>
The second technique was also developed at the renowned California think tank SRI-International, led by Ingo Swann in collaboration with Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ as research directors. This method became known as Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV). In CRV, the viewer remains in the alpha brainwave state with near full consciousness, sitting upright at a table and accessing the “medial signal” through a series of rigorous protocols that embed techniques to remove mental noise. The viewer continuously notes the received data on paper during the session. With CRV you can work with or without a monitor, as the protocol structure itself takes on all important functions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
