Remote viewing, oh yeah, it's real.

Remote Viewer

I happen to have a lot of experience with remote viewing, and I can say with 100% certainty that it is real. Why can I say that? Because I used to be a remote viewer! A couple years ago I ordered the Ed Dames DVD series and trained myself to remote view. Honestly it is nothing like I thought it would be.

I think the term remote viewing is a very misleading one mainly because while remote viewing I do not ‘see’ anything, I perceive things instead. RV is basically training your intuition to activate by your will, and not just randomly.

What is it like?

The process of remote viewing is a strange one that requires a lot of work. The best analogy I could come up with is it is like looking at an object (the target) through a foggy distorted piece of glass. You can see the general shapes, the color, the size of things relatively easily even if they are a bit distorted. But with RV you can also tell what the objects function is, if there are any life forms around (and what they are feeling/thinking), and perceive the general impression of the target.

Because of this ‘fuzzy glass’ handicap once you collate all of the data onto one sheet, sometimes you will think it is something, but the target will be completely different, yet similar. A great example is if you were to remote view a tall, tapered object with a wide base. The object is cylindrical and outdoors. The object is old, and it is spinning near the top of the structure. Nearby you can perceive land and a body of water. In your mind this jumps out at you as completely obvious; it must be a lighthouse! It is near the water and the light on top is spinning to warn ships not to hit the coast. According to the data you are right. After you look at the target reference you discover it isn’t a lighthouse, it is actually a windmill! Both answers were correct in the sense of the data being gathered, but your conclusion about the data was incorrect.

RV teams

One of the ways to get around the fundamental flaw of the fuzzy glass is to have multiple people all remote view the same target. By doing this you all get a different perspective on the same object or event. While one person may really focus on the spinning part of the windmill in our previous target, maybe another person would center in on the blades of the windmill itself. By combining that data and discussing it afterwards, a team of mediocre remote viewers can be much more accurate than one all star remote viewer by themselves. For a while I actually had the opportunity to meet with fellow remote viewers and take on group targets. It was a blast meeting up every month to see which RVer was the ‘most accurate’ and to see if we could guess the target before the handler disclosed the target.

A Real Remote Viewing Session

I completed hundreds of sessions when I was remote viewer, and one of the sessions that really blew my mind is the one I’m about to share. Before this target I had nailed quite a few other targets, but they were all ‘practice targets’, and generally they were blind. A blind target is where you are just given a target reference number (i.e. 4242 / 9622 ) and you remote view whatever that number is associated with. The ‘handler’ associates the number with a target by writing a set of random numbers on a picture or target sentence, and then they give the viewer the numbers on a separate blank piece of paper. Essentially you have no idea what the target will be, it could be Micky Mouse, an atomic bomb, or a flea on a dog in Indonesia.

Once you get good at blind targets, you can move onto the advanced skill of front loaded targets. With front loaded targets you will sometimes know a little bit about the target when you get your reference numbers. For example, you might know the target is an event, or that it is a person. This might sound easier, but in actuality it is MUCH harder to nail a target like this because your creative mind wants to go crazy and make up data that won’t apply to the target. For this remote viewing session I was heavily font loaded, I knew what the target was, I was trying to find a specific object that my girlfriend had lost. The object was the Sims II video game, haha not quite as exciting as some gold bars or Jimmy Hoffa’s grave, but it was still something that needed to be found. My girlfriend had been looking for the game on and off for about two weeks so I decided I would give remote viewing a shot. The pictures that follow are the actual remote viewing sessions that I completed (you can see the whole session in the additional pictures to the right).

This is the final remote viewing session with all of my data smashed onto one page of paper. If you enlarge the photo you will see three separate objects or 'aspects' that make up the larger sum of the target. My target for this session wasn't the Sims game itself, if that were the case then I would have gotten a cylindrical object representing the CD or perhaps a description of the actual sims game (people in a house etc...). My target was the most recognizable features near the lost sims game.

In the previous photograph you will see a large rectangular object labeled aspect 'A' that I perceived to be a tool, or container that could swing open. On the bottom right hand portion of the rectangle I drew a circle as well as some lines to represent importance. I didn't know what was important there, I just knew it was.

Aspect 'B' is a box within a box, and it is storing a lot of information. As you can see my art skills are not the greatest, but I hope you can kind of tell whats going on.

The final aspect on the last page is aspect 'X', which is generally the most important aspect. For that object I drew a circle (which I will admit might have been my imagination saying 'hey look, its the game!!') as well as a few descriptors such as 'happy', 'fun', 'info', and 'data'.

After I had the completed session and my final page I began running around the house looking for objects that all had these aspects to them. I looked in cupboards, shelves, drawers and a dozen other places. I had pretty much given up and thought I had blown the session when my girlfriend asked to take a look at the session. I figured it couldn't hurt so I let her look at it, and after studying it for a moment she says, "I think I know where that is." and proceeded to walk OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.

A minute later she returned with the CD!

I was blown away and asked where she found it and she took me to this spot in our backyard:

She pointed out to me that the rectangular box that 'swung open' was the thing that really stood out to her and she instantly recognized it as the window that opened up to our backyard. I didn't even know that window opened until she had said that! I asked her to put the game back exactly where she found it and we took the following photos to illustrate how buried it was.

Notice the box behind the silver trashcan and below the window. Full image >

This box is OUTSIDE the house, and we can't even see the sims game in the box yet. Full image >

After digging around the box, we finally found the sims game. Booya! Full image >

As you can see it looks incredibly similar to my remote viewing session, down to the details of which direction the window swings open. There was definitely some imagination that sneaked its way into the session (Aspect X which I thought was the CD was most likely the metallic cylindrical trash can). I think it is very interesting that although I was too close to the trees to see the forest, my girlfriend was able to instantly recognize the big picture. The fact that the CD wasn't in the house at all, and was buried outside in a box of 'trash' was the real kicker for this session. There is absolutely NO WAY we would have found this game if it weren't for remote viewing. This solidified both mine and my girlfriend's belief in the power of remote viewing.

Former Remote Viewer

If you haven’t guessed already, I do not remote view anymore.

“Ben! Why wouldn’t you keep remote viewing! It sounds like an awesome skill!!!!!”

Well, it is an awesome skill, but it requires a LOT of constant hard work every day. You have to convince someone to make you blind targets to practice with, you have to do at least one RV session a day, hopefully two and maybe three if you are feeling up to it. A lot of the time if you miss a target or get bad data there is no one there to tell you what you did wrong. Generally the only advice an advanced remote viewer can give someone who is missing targets is, “Keep practicing, and your sub-consciousness will work it out.” This is generally true, but it is a pain in the ass to miss all of your targets for 2 or 3 weeks at a stretch (which is what usually happens in the beginning). After I achieved 70-80% accuracy consistently, after a few months I just sort of got bored with it and other things in my life became a priority.

Another thing that is frustrating is even if you practice remote viewing for hundreds of hours you will still get that ‘fuzzy glass’ picture of things. If you practice for years your glass becomes clearer, but it’s never like visiting a place in flesh and blood. The main reason that I stopped is that remote viewing still isn’t taken seriously by society. So what if I can remote view and prove that Jesus was a real person (he was, but whether he is the son of god is still up for debate), or that there is life on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons (there is, and its small tube-like structures, probably microbial). I can prove that to myself or to others that know that remote viewing is real, but as of right now the general population will not accept it. Perhaps if there are more scientific studies done then RV will become more mainstream.
