As you learn to become a Remote Viewer, and as you journey inward to seek knowledge, find truth, and become wisdom, you will constantly be asked to address the credibility

of the art and science of this craft. Recognizing this, I long ago developed these three simple rules, which I ask that you learn and follow. Throughout this course of

instruction, I will review why and how these are important to your training and practical application in Remote Viewing. Rule #1: Remote Viewing Is Not 100 Percent Accurate. Results from

Remote Viewing can span the spectrum of accuracy from the zero point all the way to something in the area of 83 percent. These levels of accuracy will vary from

person to person, from day to day, and from target session to target session. If someone tells you that he or she is always 100 percent correct, that person is

being less than truthful. There is a reason you can never be completely accurate on any target session, and I will explain this later in this book. Again, remember to

let go of the outcome. Your accuracy can only improve if you do. Rule #2: You Can Never Trust the Results of One Remote Viewer Acting Independently of Other Remote

Viewers. Remote Viewing is a team effort, and all of us together are better than any one of us. Accurate results depend greatly on the ability of several Viewers to

work the same target without corroboration, at various times, and with a single point of control. Never gamble the reputation of Remote Viewing on a single Viewer; to do so

risks the future of Remote Viewing and the reputation of all credible Viewers. Rule #3: Remote Viewing Is Not a Stand-Alone Endeavor. Remote Viewing is a tool—not a be-all and

end-all. Used properly, it provides answers or a piece of the puzzle that cannot or might not be gleaned by any other means. Despite the claims of some former members

of the military RV team, Remote Viewing was not developed because the rest of the intelligence community was failing in its tasks. In truth, it was developed only to provide

partial answers, fragments of information, to the analytic side of the U.S. intelligence community. It was brought into the intelligence community to augment existing collection methodologies. This is the calling

of Remote Viewing in the future as well: to augment existing strategies in law enforcement, medicine, research and development, and more. Remote Viewing will never replace anything in conventional or

nonconventional quests for information. WHERE DID THE TERM COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING COME FROM? Latitude and Longitude. The concept of Coordinate Remote Viewing came from the early protocols for designating a

target site for the Remote Viewers to view. Lacking any complete understanding of what was possible in this human ability, the scientists who developed the protocols assigned latitudinal and longitudinal

coordinates to the target based on its actual location on the surface of the Earth. This two-dimensional plane had its limitations. Using latitude and longitude began to skew the data

the Remote Viewers were able to produce. It did this for the simple reason that the more you work with latitude and longitude, the more you are prone to recognize

where on the Earth you are working. For this reason, the use of latitude and longitude disrupted the scientific process adhered to by the Stanford Research Institute staff. The scientists

performing the experiments on the Viewers began noticing that the Viewers data was becoming highly accurate, perhaps too accurate, and they began searching for a flaw in the process. It

was determined that the Viewers had begun memorizing the latitude and longitude coordinates and as a result were guessing at verbal and visual data that was supporting the target site.

It was further determined that this was not intentional or by some sinister desire on the part of the Viewers to score well on the exercises. Quite the contrary, the

Viewers were as disturbed by the difficulty as were the researchers. In the world of quantum physics, everything is energy and energy is everything; therefore, on some level, everything can

be expressed in waveform. It is this waveform data through which the Remote Viewer becomes aware of, or perceives, information during the Remote Viewing session, the period during which data

relevant to a distant target is acquired. It is this waveform expression of the target and all its components that the Viewer perceives and then records in the form of

visual data (contour sketches and detailed renderings) and verbal data (using language to express color, texture, temperature, taste, sound, smell, energetic data, dimensional data, aesthetic data, emotional data, tangible data,

intangible data, and other elements of information depending on the length and intention of the Viewing session). In the protocols of Remote Viewing, detecting and decoding waveform data is the

fundamental methodology. This may sound like something very odd, yet you are doing it constantly. You are, in fact, doing it right now. Virtually every instant of your waking life

is filled with almost unconscious metronomic activity of detecting eight-dimensional waveform data and decoding it into coherent four-dimensional thought form. The four dimensions to which I am referring are defined

by the three spatial dimensions of height, width, and depth, and the fourth dimension, a temporal one, of time. Let"s look at a relatively simple example. You are reading this

description, either from a printed page or from a computer monitor. Light waves are moving from the monitor or the printed page to your eye. These instruments called eyes perform

a critical function of detecting the light waves and transforming this waveform data into electrochemical responses that are sent to the brain. The brain detects these signals and decodes them

into coherent four-dimensional thought form. Put another way, your brain recognizes the various patterns of ink on the page that constitute the letters in the written words of the language

you comprehend. The decoding process in this example works through your ability to understand the language. Your appreciation of the words in the decoding process is then linked to your

experience Rolodex, which includes all that you have previously read about, witnessed, experienced, and so on. If an artist looks across a landscape, a similar process to your reading of

this page takes place. The difference is that the artist is engaged in the art and science of detecting the light waves and decoding them into coherent thought form. The

completion of the decoding process involves objectification in a two-dimensional medium, such as placing paint on a two-dimensional canvas or dragging a pencil across a two-dimensional piece of paper. If

the artist were to close his eyes, would the imagery stop? The answer is no. At first there would be what is called persistence of vision, the electrochemical data flow

to the brain from the imagery still impacting the retina of the eye. The older you are, the longer it takes for this to dissipate. However, once it subsides, is

there more data available to the artist? Yes, there is. Would it be accurate? That depends on a number of conditions: the state of the instrument (the brain), anxiety levels,

analytic processes or the ability to reconstruct from memory, and other variables that may alter the artists ability to perceive purely in the moment. If the artist can relax, forget

the name of what it is that he is looking at, if the artist can let go and just begin detecting the waveform expression of the landscape, with eyes closed

or open, he can begin decoding the data into four-dimensional thought form and continue the objectification process by finishing the painting—this is a loose example of Remote Viewing. To explore

another Remote Viewing example, let us say I ask you to close your eyes, and I prompt you to go to a beach in your mind, a beach you have

visited before. I can ask you to see the beach, smell the beach, hear it, and even taste it. I can direct you to explore the temperature of the water,

the heat of the sun on your flesh, the texture of the sand beneath your feet, and all this sensory information would be available to you. You can smell the

air, feel the cool water and the thermal energy of the sun. All this sensory data is coming from what? Your imagination? You are not physically at the beach, so

where is the data stream coming from? If you decide it is the imagination, then what is the origin of imagination? Where does imaginary data come from? What constitutes imagination?

Is this recall, is it a fabrication, or is it detecting and decoding waveform data that is relevant to the actual beach distant in space-time? In fact, your ability to

do this will rely upon all these elements. You will produce a certain amount of data from recall, remembering the last time you were there by sparking the neural network

of the brain, prompting it to release subelements of data embedded holographically in the neurons and glial cells of the biological brain and beyond. You will fabricate a certain amount

of this data, a construction of sensory data that will be as unique to the scenario as you are. And there will be elements of data that match the beach

in real time: people on the beach right now, the weather conditions, smells, tastes, activity, emotions, and the like as they exist right now on planet Earth. The difficulty is

that you will not be satisfied with this answer. You will want to know what is recall, what is fabricated, and what is real, or in the lexicon of Remote

Viewing, raw viewing data. A Remote Viewing student in Stockholm, Sweden, announced to the class that he had lost his ability to smell as a child over three decades ago.

At the age of eleven, he contracted a severe case of influenza, and the virus caused irreversible damage to the lining of his nose where the olfactory nerves have their

endings. The attending physician told him that without exception he could no longer smell, and that became his conditioning. For the next thirty-five years, he never questioned the physicians statement.

He had accepted the belief that he could not smell anything at all, and any faint trace of aroma was quickly dismissed as an aberration, an errant idea, but certainly

not a restoration of his sense of smell. However, in a Remote Viewing session, he smelled the scent of roses and other fragrant flowers. He felt a bit awkward describing

this sensation to his fellow classmates, especially after making the definitive pronouncement of his inability to smell. He even laughed it off as an impossibility, suggesting that he had made

it all up in his head. That was until he saw the video feedback of the target site, which was the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon, home to

over eight thousand roses and other flowers. He wept when he realized that he could smell, in fact that he had been able to smell all along—something in the Remote

Viewing session triggered his brain to fire all the neural networks necessary to create the sense of smell. This is only one of hundreds of such cases. People who have

lost the ability to walk can walk again in their minds eye; those who have lost limbs can again feel through a tactile modality of perception in Remote Viewing. Those

who have lost voice can again sing, and those who have lost sight or hearing can again experience the gift of sight and sound in their Remote Viewing sessions. The

more you study and understand the quantum perspective of the universe in which we exist, the more you will understand and perfect your ability to Remote View. Furthermore, those who

seek to truly excel in this art and science will work diligently to understand the biology of the brain, the physiology of the body, the power of intention, how to

achieve and sustain an altered state, how to analyze training progress—there will be hundreds of other variables that one can monitor and master in an effort to develop as a

Remote Viewer. So, what does this do for you? Well, that is another question, and the answer to that question could take up another chapter. Suffice it to say here

that, in this existence, we all believe in something. All of us, and there are no exceptions to this rule, believe in something. Even if we believe in nothing, we

believe in something. The human quest in this existence is for knowledge. We are on an eternal quest for knowledge that honors a timeless path toward wisdom. We each measure

the attainment of this grail in our own way. Some measure it in financial abundance, some in spiritual awareness, others in personal power, others in quality of life, and the

list goes on. You may measure the story of your life, the purpose of this existence, in any way you desire. Would it be accurate? That depends on a number

of conditions: the state of the instrument (the brain), anxiety levels, analytic processes or the ability to reconstruct from memory, and other variables that may alter the artists ability to

perceive purely in the moment. If the artist can relax, forget the name of what it is that he is looking at, if the artist can let go and just

begin detecting the waveform expression of the landscape, with eyes closed or open, he can begin decoding the data into four-dimensional thought form and continue the objectification process by finishing

the painting—this is a loose example of Remote Viewing. To explore another Remote Viewing example, let us say I ask you to close your eyes, and I prompt you to

his ability to smell as a child over three decades ago. At the age of eleven, he contracted a severe case of influenza, and the virus caused irreversible damage to

the lining of his nose where the olfactory nerves have their endings. In my opinion, it is Targ and Puthoff who are clearly the early heroes in all of this.

These two men (with others) risked their professional reputations to test and evaluate the possibility that human beings can transcend space and time for the purpose of viewing persons, places,

and things remote in space and time, and can collect usable intelligence information on the same. Certainly, the vast majority of their colleagues would have loved it if this federally

sponsored project had consumed its funding and six years of study only to conclude that there was nothing to it—that it was all worthless and the project should be abandoned.

However, this was not the case. Instead, the answer was quite the opposite: there was something to this. This phenomenon was credible; it was measurable and definable and trainable. It

was certainly not 100 percent accurate, but then again, neither was anything else in the intelligence collection assets; they all had their limitations. As long as one understood the limits

of the technology, then the technology could be employed as another collector of information, another provider of pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that was truth in the espionage game. In

short, the CIA was handed a new intelligence collection methodology: psychic spies. To digress briefly, a New York City artist, author, and gifted natural psychic, Ingo Swann, became one of

Dr. Puthoffs first test subjects. According to Mr. Swann, he initially participated in a number of pioneering experiments performed under the auspices of the American Society for Psychical Research. Upon

being recruited into the project, Mr. Swann worked with Dr. Puthoff at SRIs Radio Physics Laboratory in Menlo Park, California. It was here that Puthoff and Swann—and a number of

others—conducted a series of ever more sophisticated experiments, developing the protocol or structure they ultimately christened Remote Viewing, opting for this term over the much-debated label of Remote Sensing. According

to Mr. Swann, he was asked by the CIA to train other men in the art and science of Remote Viewing, men who he claimed were bizarre in their manner,

mechanistic and cold in their approach to learning Remote Viewing. Seemingly, they were there for the training, and then they were gone, never to be seen or heard of again.

I use this as one piece of evidence that other Remote Viewing elements existed in the government intelligence agencies. I cannot accept the notion that only one Remote Viewing program

existed; this would go against all philosophies and practices within the military and government intelligence agencies to never put all their eggs in one basket. Who would spend tens of

millions of dollars on a program that existed in one place and had only one life to live? I assure you, nobody in the intelligence community would. Recognizing the potential

for controversy and public ridicule if ever discovered, the CIA did what it has always done—distanced itself in word and deed from the project. There is an old adage in

the intelligence community: Always keep someone between you and the potential problem. The project was handed off to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the program code name Grill Flame.

It is assumed that other programs continued to thrive under the oversight and administration of other military services and intelligence agencies. In my opinion, it is Targ and Puthoff who

are clearly the early heroes in all of this. These two men (with others) risked their professional reputations to test and evaluate the possibility that human beings can transcend space

his ability to smell as a child over three decades ago. At the age of eleven, he contracted a severe case of influenza, and the virus caused irreversible damage to

the lining of his nose where the olfactory nerves have their endings. Believing that this is possible is easy. It requires little from us in the long run. Because the

belief is conceptual, it routinely alters itself, morphing from this to that based on superficial needs and desires. Beliefs are conveniences that can only become knowledge through the experience of

doing. If you want to know more, if you are ready to move from believing to knowing, then Remote Viewing is for you. The Remote Viewing ability is not unique

to me or any other former military-trained Remote Viewers. We all have the ability. You have always had it; through every breath, every blink of the eye, you have been

connected to something greater than yourself. Your conditioning has taught you to believe in the possibility of this but to doubt it could ever exist within you. Your conditioning has

told you to doubt yourself. Remote Viewing is simply a manifest protocol designed to offer you irrefutable and undeniable evidence that you can see distantly in space-time with a variable,

yet increasing, degree of accuracy. This evidence is what transforms your belief into awareness, a knowledge offering you a new perspective on a life filled with promise and possibility. In

each Remote Viewing session, you will follow the same principal protocol. You will be entrained through a cooldown CD into an altered state of consciousness (an alpha wave state, 32.9

to 14Hz, or cycles per second, of brain-wave activity). Once in this condition, you will be given a series of coordinates, which are random numbers assigned to the concept of

a target in the Matrix Field of the collective unconscious. I will explain this concept in detail later in the book; for now, just understand it as part of the

process. After you are given the coordinates, you will begin using one or more of the modalities of perception to follow two kinesthetic activities associated with the phenomenon of Coordinate

Remote Viewing, that is, the detecting and decoding described earlier. You will detect eight-dimensional waveform data and decode it into coherent four-dimensional thought form, or conceptual illusion. In order to

capture this conceptual illusion, you will further objectify your perceptions into two-dimensional media. You will sketch your visual and dimensional data—curves, arches, mass, density, and so forth—and you will write

or record your verbal data in descriptions of color, texture, smells, tastes, sounds, energetic data, and so on. This objectification process allows you to take the fleeting conceptual illusion of

what you are seeing in your minds eye and lock it into a form of data that is usable and quantifiable. When the session is completed, you will take all

the quantifiable data you decoded during the session, and you will assemble it in accordance with a provided Session Summary Template, preparing a narrative record of your journey into the

Matrix Field of the distant target. Once this task is completed, you will be given detailed visual feedback of the target you were supposed to be seeing. It is at

this point that you will review your session and compare it with the actual target feedback. You will be able to measure what you thought you saw with what was

there for you to see. What is perceived is gathered in the blind. In other words, you will do this without ever being told what the target is before or

during your exercise; in Remote Viewing terminology, there is no front loading on the target. You begin the session with an empty glass, which you slowly fill through the process

of detecting and decoding. What you produce, you produce through nonphysical eyes, the eyes of a Remote Viewer. As you learn to become a Remote Viewer, and as you journey

inward to seek knowledge, find truth, and become wisdom, you will constantly be asked to address the credibility of the art and science of this craft. Recognizing this, I long

ago developed these three simple rules, which I ask that you learn and follow. Throughout this course of instruction, I will review why and how these are important to your

training and practical application in Remote Viewing. Rule #1: Remote Viewing Is Not 100 Percent Accurate. Results from Remote Viewing can span the spectrum of accuracy from the zero point

all the way to something in the area of 83 percent. These levels of accuracy will vary from person to person, from day to day, and from target session to

target session. If someone tells you that he or she is always 100 percent correct, that person is being less than truthful. There is a reason you can never be

completely accurate on any target session, and I will explain this later in this book. Again, remember to let go of the outcome. Your accuracy can only improve if you

do. Rule #2: You Can Never Trust the Results of One Remote Viewer Acting Independently of Other Remote Viewers. Remote Viewing is a team effort, and all of us together

are better than any one of us. Accurate results depend greatly on the ability of several Viewers to work the same target without corroboration, at various times, and with a

single point of control. Never gamble the reputation of Remote Viewing on a single Viewer; to do so risks the future of Remote Viewing and the reputation of all credible

Viewers. Rule #3: Remote Viewing Is Not a Stand-Alone Endeavor. Remote Viewing is a tool—not a be-all and end-all. Used properly, it provides answers or a piece of the puzzle

that cannot or might not be gleaned by any other means. Despite the claims of some former members of the military RV team, Remote Viewing was not developed because the

rest of the intelligence community was failing in its tasks. In truth, it was developed only to provide partial answers, fragments of information, to the analytic side of the U.S.

intelligence community. It was brought into the intelligence community to augment existing collection methodologies. This is the calling of Remote Viewing in the future as well: to augment existing strategies

in law enforcement, medicine, research and development, and more. Remote Viewing will never replace anything in conventional or nonconventional quests for information. WHERE DID THE TERM COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING COME

FROM? Latitude and Longitude. The concept of Coordinate Remote Viewing came from the early protocols for designating a target site for the Remote Viewers to view. Lacking any complete understanding

of what was possible in this human ability, the scientists who developed the protocols assigned latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates to the target based on its actual location on the surface

of the Earth. This two-dimensional plane had its limitations. Using latitude and longitude began to skew the data the Remote Viewers were able to produce. It did this for the

simple reason that the more you work with latitude and longitude, the more you are prone to recognize where on the Earth you are working. For this reason, the use

of latitude and longitude disrupted the scientific process adhered to by the Stanford Research Institute staff. The scientists performing the experiments on the Viewers began noticing that the Viewers data

was becoming highly accurate, perhaps too accurate, and they began searching for a flaw in the process. It was determined that the Viewers had begun memorizing the latitude and longitude

coordinates and as a result were guessing at verbal and visual data that was supporting the target site. It was further determined that this was not intentional or by some

sinister desire on the part of the Viewers to score well on the exercises. Quite the contrary, the Viewers were as disturbed by the difficulty as were the researchers. Before

you begin this Remote Viewing training program, I think it is imperative that you know the origins of what you are about to become involved in. Please know this from

me: the phenomenon you are about to learn has nothing to do with the past, yet this phenomenon does have a past, and you should know it, or at least

this version of it. Read this history to gather an awareness of how the Remote Viewing program began and who some of the critical players were. I feel this information

is necessary to dispel any wild rumors you might hear about the origin and nature of this former Defense Intelligence Agency program. Again, what you are engaging in is the

spiritual evolution of this former intelligence collection methodology, now a process of transformation with a deeply embedded spiritual focus, oriented toward the individual as well as the collective. As you

progress through the book, this will become clearer; however, for now, use this information as a historical perspective. For an even more in-depth historical perspective, you may want to roll

up your sleeves and dig into the long list of books written by former Remote Viewers, monitors, program managers, and researchers. But understand this: they all have different perspectives, and

they all believe theirs is the most accurate. Einstein said, It is the theory that decides what we can observe. This is true in the recounting of any story or

of any element of history. Napoleon once said that history is nothing more than fiction agreed upon. When it comes to the history of this unit, no statement has proven

more accurate. Even if certain individuals collectively agree on a version of the history to be shared with the public, they routinely do not share the same version in private

conversation. I could write an entire book on this contrast alone, but that is not my purpose. There is an inherent quest for truth in all of us; we want

to know the past because we feel it gives us insight to the present and foresight to the future. Hindsight, however, in all its versions and interpretations, often fogs the

moment and, in so doing, skews the right path of the future. Be satisfied with the moment, and seek the clarity of it. With that, let me begin by saying,

clearly, that what follows is my version of the truth, nothing more. In what seems a thousand years ago, in 1987, I stood on the desert floor of a long-forgotten

valley in the Kingdom of Jordan. I was a warrior, doing what warriors do when they are not fighting wars: I was training for one. In one moment, I was

commanding 235 United States Army Rangers, and in the next, I was wounded in the head by a stray Jordanian machine-gun bullet. The wound ushered darkness over me that became

the brightest awakening of my spirit, leading me out of the condition of being lost in the unconsciousness of consciousness. Within a few short months, I was recruited into one

of the most bizarre and controversial intelligence collection programs known to the Western world—I was recruited into Americas top-secret clan of psychic spies known as Remote Viewers, a unit given

the code name Sun Streak. Here I was trained not in the art and science of war, but, rather, I was given a tool, a protocol, a system, a structure,

that unlocked the inherent ability that lies within each of us to transcend space and time, to view persons, places, or things remote in space and time, to gather and

report intelligence information on the same. I was trained to be a time traveler, a new breed of warrior utilizing a technique developed by science that called upon and synthesized

the ancient wisdoms of this and other worlds. In my opinion, it is Targ and Puthoff who are clearly the early heroes in all of this. These two men (with

others) risked their professional reputations to test and evaluate the possibility that human beings can transcend space and time for the purpose of viewing persons, places, and things remote in

space and time, and can collect usable intelligence information on the same. Certainly, the vast majority of their colleagues would have loved it if this federally sponsored project had consumed

its funding and six years of study only to conclude that there was nothing to it—that it was all worthless and the project should be abandoned. However, this was not

the case. Instead, the answer was quite the opposite: there was something to this. This phenomenon was credible; it was measurable and definable and trainable. It was certainly not 100

percent accurate, but then again, neither was anything else in the intelligence collection assets; they all had their limitations. As long as one understood the limits of the technology, then

the technology could be employed as another collector of information, another provider of pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that was truth in the espionage game. In short, the CIA was

handed a new intelligence collection methodology: psychic spies. To digress briefly, a New York City artist, author, and gifted natural psychic, Ingo Swann, became one of Dr. Puthoffs first test

subjects. According to Mr. Swann, he initially participated in a number of pioneering experiments performed under the auspices of the American Society for Psychical Research. Upon being recruited into the

project, Mr. Swann worked with Dr. Puthoff at SRIs Radio Physics Laboratory in Menlo Park, California. It was here that Puthoff and Swann—and a number of others—conducted a series of

ever more sophisticated experiments, developing the protocol or structure they ultimately christened Remote Viewing, opting for this term over the much-debated label of Remote Sensing. According to Mr. Swann, he

was asked by the CIA to train other men in the art and science of Remote Viewing, men who he claimed were bizarre in their manner, mechanistic and cold in

their approach to learning Remote Viewing. Seemingly, they were there for the training, and then they were gone, never to be seen or heard of again. I use this as

one piece of evidence that other Remote Viewing elements existed in the government intelligence agencies. I cannot accept the notion that only one Remote Viewing program existed; this would go

against all philosophies and practices within the military and government intelligence agencies to never put all their eggs in one basket. Who would spend tens of millions of dollars on

a program that existed in one place and had only one life to live? I assure you, nobody in the intelligence community would. Recognizing the potential for controversy and public

ridicule if ever discovered, the CIA did what it has always done—distanced itself in word and deed from the project. There is an old adage in the intelligence community: Always

keep someone between you and the potential problem. The project was handed off to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the program code name Grill Flame. It is assumed that

other programs continued to thrive under the oversight and administration of other military services and intelligence agencies. In the world of quantum physics, everything is energy and energy is everything;

therefore, on some level, everything can be expressed in waveform. It is this waveform data through which the Remote Viewer becomes aware of, or perceives, information during the Remote Viewing

session, the period during which data relevant to a distant target is acquired. It is this waveform expression of the target and all its components that the Viewer perceives and

then records in the form of visual data (contour sketches and detailed renderings) and verbal data (using language to express color, texture, temperature, taste, sound, smell, energetic data, dimensional data,

aesthetic data, emotional data, tangible data, intangible data, and other elements of information depending on the length and intention of the Viewing session). In the protocols of Remote Viewing, detecting

and decoding waveform data is the fundamental methodology. This may sound like something very odd, yet you are doing it constantly. You are, in fact, doing it right now. Virtually

every instant of your waking life is filled with almost unconscious metronomic activity of detecting eight-dimensional waveform data and decoding it into coherent four-dimensional thought form. The four dimensions to

which I am referring are defined by the three spatial dimensions of height, width, and depth, and the fourth dimension, a temporal one, of time. Let"s look at a relatively

simple example. You are reading this description, either from a printed page or from a computer monitor. Light waves are moving from the monitor or the printed page to your

eye. These instruments called eyes perform a critical function of detecting the light waves and transforming this waveform data into electrochemical responses that are sent to the brain. The brain

detects these signals and decodes them into coherent four-dimensional thought form. Put another way, your brain recognizes the various patterns of ink on the page that constitute the letters in

the written words of the language you comprehend. The decoding process in this example works through your ability to understand the language. Your appreciation of the words in the decoding

process is then linked to your experience Rolodex, which includes all that you have previously read about, witnessed, experienced, and so on. If an artist looks across a landscape, a

similar process to your reading of this page takes place. The difference is that the artist is engaged in the art and science of detecting the light waves and decoding

them into coherent thought form. The completion of the decoding process involves objectification in a two-dimensional medium, such as placing paint on a two-dimensional canvas or dragging a pencil across

a two-dimensional piece of paper. If the artist were to close his eyes, would the imagery stop? The answer is no. At first there would be what is called persistence

of vision, the electrochemical data flow to the brain from the imagery still impacting the retina of the eye. The older you are, the longer it takes for this to

dissipate. However, once it subsides, is there more data available to the artist? Yes, there is. Believing that this is possible is easy. It requires little from us in the

long run. Because the belief is conceptual, it routinely alters itself, morphing from this to that based on superficial needs and desires. Beliefs are conveniences that can only become knowledge

through the experience of doing. If you want to know more, if you are ready to move from believing to knowing, then Remote Viewing is for you. The Remote Viewing

ability is not unique to me or any other former military-trained Remote Viewers. We all have the ability. You have always had it; through every breath, every blink of the

eye, you have been connected to something greater than yourself. Your conditioning has taught you to believe in the possibility of this but to doubt it could ever exist within

you. Your conditioning has told you to doubt yourself. Remote Viewing is simply a manifest protocol designed to offer you irrefutable and undeniable evidence that you can see distantly in

space-time with a variable, yet increasing, degree of accuracy. This evidence is what transforms your belief into awareness, a knowledge offering you a new perspective on a life filled with

promise and possibility. In each Remote Viewing session, you will follow the same principal protocol. You will be entrained through a cooldown CD into an altered state of consciousness (an

alpha wave state, 32.9 to 14Hz, or cycles per second, of brain-wave activity). Once in this condition, you will be given a series of coordinates, which are random numbers assigned

to the concept of a target in the Matrix Field of the collective unconscious. I will explain this concept in detail later in the book; for now, just understand it

as part of the process. After you are given the coordinates, you will begin using one or more of the modalities of perception to follow two kinesthetic activities associated with

the phenomenon of Coordinate Remote Viewing, that is, the detecting and decoding described earlier. You will detect eight-dimensional waveform data and decode it into coherent four-dimensional thought form, or conceptual

illusion. In order to capture this conceptual illusion, you will further objectify your perceptions into two-dimensional media. You will sketch your visual and dimensional data—curves, arches, mass, density, and so

forth—and you will write or record your verbal data in descriptions of color, texture, smells, tastes, sounds, energetic data, and so on. This objectification process allows you to take the

fleeting conceptual illusion of what you are seeing in your minds eye and lock it into a form of data that is usable and quantifiable. When the session is completed,

you will take all the quantifiable data you decoded during the session, and you will assemble it in accordance with a provided Session Summary Template, preparing a narrative record of

your journey into the Matrix Field of the distant target. Once this task is completed, you will be given detailed visual feedback of the target you were supposed to be

seeing. It is at this point that you will review your session and compare it with the actual target feedback. You will be able to measure what you thought you

saw with what was there for you to see. What is perceived is gathered in the blind. In other words, you will do this without ever being told what the

target is before or during your exercise; in Remote Viewing terminology, there is no front loading on the target. You begin the session with an empty glass, which you slowly

fill through the process of detecting and decoding. What you produce, you produce through nonphysical eyes, the eyes of a Remote Viewer. As you learn to become a Remote Viewer,

and as you journey inward to seek knowledge, find truth, and become wisdom, you will constantly be asked to address the credibility of the art and science of this craft.

Recognizing this, I long ago developed these three simple rules, which I ask that you learn and follow. Throughout this course of instruction, I will review why and how these

are important to your training and practical application in Remote Viewing. Rule #1: Remote Viewing Is Not 100 Percent Accurate. Results from Remote Viewing can span the spectrum of accuracy

from the zero point all the way to something in the area of 83 percent. These levels of accuracy will vary from person to person, from day to day, and

from target session to target session. If someone tells you that he or she is always 100 percent correct, that person is being less than truthful. There is a reason

you can never be completely accurate on any target session, and I will explain this later in this book. Again, remember to let go of the outcome. Your accuracy can

only improve if you do. Rule #2: You Can Never Trust the Results of One Remote Viewer Acting Independently of Other Remote Viewers. Remote Viewing is a team effort, and

all of us together are better than any one of us. Accurate results depend greatly on the ability of several Viewers to work the same target without corroboration, at various

times, and with a single point of control. Never gamble the reputation of Remote Viewing on a single Viewer; to do so risks the future of Remote Viewing and the

reputation of all credible Viewers. Rule #3: Remote Viewing Is Not a Stand-Alone Endeavor. Remote Viewing is a tool—not a be-all and end-all. Used properly, it provides answers or a

piece of the puzzle that cannot or might not be gleaned by any other means. Despite the claims of some former members of the military RV team, Remote Viewing was

not developed because the rest of the intelligence community was failing in its tasks. In truth, it was developed only to provide partial answers, fragments of information, to the analytic

side of the U.S. intelligence community. It was brought into the intelligence community to augment existing collection methodologies. This is the calling of Remote Viewing in the future as well:

to augment existing strategies in law enforcement, medicine, research and development, and more. Remote Viewing will never replace anything in conventional or nonconventional quests for information. WHERE DID THE TERM

COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING COME FROM? Latitude and Longitude. The concept of Coordinate Remote Viewing came from the early protocols for designating a target site for the Remote Viewers to view.

Lacking any complete understanding of what was possible in this human ability, the scientists who developed the protocols assigned latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates to the target based on its actual

location on the surface of the Earth. This two-dimensional plane had its limitations. Using latitude and longitude began to skew the data the Remote Viewers were able to produce. It

did this for the simple reason that the more you work with latitude and longitude, the more you are prone to recognize where on the Earth you are working. For

this reason, the use of latitude and longitude disrupted the scientific process adhered to by the Stanford Research Institute staff. The scientists performing the experiments on the Viewers began noticing

that the Viewers data was becoming highly accurate, perhaps too accurate, and they began searching for a flaw in the process. It was determined that the Viewers had begun memorizing

the latitude and longitude coordinates and as a result were guessing at verbal and visual data that was supporting the target site. It was further determined that this was not

intentional or by some sinister desire on the part of the Viewers to score well on the exercises. Quite the contrary, the Viewers were as disturbed by the difficulty as

were the researchers. In the world of quantum physics, everything is energy and energy is everything; therefore, on some level, everything can be expressed in waveform. It is this waveform

data through which the Remote Viewer becomes aware of, or perceives, information during the Remote Viewing session, the period during which data relevant to a distant target is acquired. It

is this waveform expression of the target and all its components that the Viewer perceives and then records in the form of visual data (contour sketches and detailed renderings) and

verbal data (using language to express color, texture, temperature, taste, sound, smell, energetic data, dimensional data, aesthetic data, emotional data, tangible data, intangible data, and other elements of information depending

on the length and intention of the Viewing session). In the protocols of Remote Viewing, detecting and decoding waveform data is the fundamental methodology. This may sound like something very

odd, yet you are doing it constantly. You are, in fact, doing it right now. Virtually every instant of your waking life is filled with almost unconscious metronomic activity of

detecting eight-dimensional waveform data and decoding it into coherent four-dimensional thought form. The four dimensions to which I am referring are defined by the three spatial dimensions of height, width,

and depth, and the fourth dimension, a temporal one, of time. Let"s look at a relatively simple example. You are reading this description, either from a printed page or from

a computer monitor. Light waves are moving from the monitor or the printed page to your eye. These instruments called eyes perform a critical function of detecting the light waves

and transforming this waveform data into electrochemical responses that are sent to the brain. The brain detects these signals and decodes them into coherent four-dimensional thought form. Put another way,

your brain recognizes the various patterns of ink on the page that constitute the letters in the written words of the language you comprehend. The decoding process in this example

works through your ability to understand the language. Your appreciation of the words in the decoding process is then linked to your experience Rolodex, which includes all that you have

previously read about, witnessed, experienced, and so on. If an artist looks across a landscape, a similar process to your reading of this page takes place. The difference is that

the artist is engaged in the art and science of detecting the light waves and decoding them into coherent thought form. The completion of the decoding process involves objectification in

a two-dimensional medium, such as placing paint on a two-dimensional canvas or dragging a pencil across a two-dimensional piece of paper. If the artist were to close his eyes, would

the imagery stop? The answer is no. At first there would be what is called persistence of vision, the electrochemical data flow to the brain from the imagery still impacting

the retina of the eye. The older you are, the longer it takes for this to dissipate. However, once it subsides, is there more data available to the artist? Yes,

there is. The attending physician told him that without exception he could no longer smell, and that became his conditioning. For the next thirty-five years, he never questioned the physicians

statement. He had accepted the belief that he could not smell anything at all, and any faint trace of aroma was quickly dismissed as an aberration, an errant idea, but

certainly not a restoration of his sense of smell. However, in a Remote Viewing session, he smelled the scent of roses and other fragrant flowers. He felt a bit awkward

describing this sensation to his fellow classmates, especially after making the definitive pronouncement of his inability to smell. He even laughed it off as an impossibility, suggesting that he had

made it all up in his head. That was until he saw the video feedback of the target site, which was the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon, home

to over eight thousand roses and other flowers. He wept when he realized that he could smell, in fact that he had been able to smell all along—something in the

Remote Viewing session triggered his brain to fire all the neural networks necessary to create the sense of smell. This is only one of hundreds of such cases. People who

have lost the ability to walk can walk again in their minds eye; those who have lost limbs can again feel through a tactile modality of perception in Remote Viewing.

Those who have lost voice can again sing, and those who have lost sight or hearing can again experience the gift of sight and sound in their Remote Viewing sessions.

The more you study and understand the quantum perspective of the universe in which we exist, the more you will understand and perfect your ability to Remote View. Furthermore, those

who seek to truly excel in this art and science will work diligently to understand the biology of the brain, the physiology of the body, the power of intention, how

to achieve and sustain an altered state, how to analyze training progress—there will be hundreds of other variables that one can monitor and master in an effort to develop as

a Remote Viewer. So, what does this do for you? Well, that is another question, and the answer to that question could take up another chapter. Suffice it to say

here that, in this existence, we all believe in something. All of us, and there are no exceptions to this rule, believe in something. Even if we believe in nothing,

we believe in something. The human quest in this existence is for knowledge. We are on an eternal quest for knowledge that honors a timeless path toward wisdom. We each

measure the attainment of this grail in our own way. Some measure it in financial abundance, some in spiritual awareness, others in personal power, others in quality of life, and

the list goes on. You may measure the story of your life, the purpose of this existence, in any way you desire. In my opinion, it is Targ and Puthoff

who are clearly the early heroes in all of this. These two men (with others) risked their professional reputations to test and evaluate the possibility that human beings can transcend

space and time for the purpose of viewing persons, places, and things remote in space and time, and can collect usable intelligence information on the same. Certainly, the vast majority

of their colleagues would have loved it if this federally sponsored project had consumed its funding and six years of study only to conclude that there was nothing to it—that

it was all worthless and the project should be abandoned. However, this was not the case. Instead, the answer was quite the opposite: there was something to this. This phenomenon

jigsaw puzzle that was truth in the espionage game. In short, the CIA was handed a new intelligence collection methodology: psychic spies. To digress briefly, a New York City artist,

author, and gifted natural psychic, Ingo Swann, became one of Dr. Puthoffs first test subjects. According to Mr. Swann, he initially participated in a number of pioneering experiments performed under

this term over the much-debated label of Remote Sensing. According to Mr. Swann, he was asked by the CIA to train other men in the art and science of Remote

Viewing, men who he claimed were bizarre in their manner, mechanistic and cold in their approach to learning Remote Viewing. Seemingly, they were there for the training, and then they

were gone, never to be seen or heard of again. I use this as one piece of evidence that other Remote Viewing elements existed in the government intelligence agencies. I

cannot accept the notion that only one Remote Viewing program existed; this would go against all philosophies and practices within the military and government intelligence agencies to never put all

their eggs in one basket. Who would spend tens of millions of dollars on a program that existed in one place and had only one life to live? I assure

Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the program code name Grill Flame. It is assumed that other programs continued to thrive under the oversight and administration of other military services and intelligence

agencies. The original Department of Defense definition of Remote Viewing (RV) was the learned ability to transcend space and time, to view persons, places, or things remote in space-time; to

gather and report information on the same. It was a technique used to spy on the real or perceived enemies of our nation using a human ability to perceive and

record information about a target that is far away from the person doing the Viewing. Today, Remote Viewing is described in as many different ways as there are individuals teaching,

talking, or writing about it. The above is an acceptable definition, but it is not an accurate definition of the actual mechanism of Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV). To better illustrate

this, I developed a more complete description several years ago. This version follows a scientific pattern of language used to describe the human interaction and interface taking place within the

protocols of Remote Viewing. I teach that Remote Viewing is the learned ability to use two inherent kinesthetic human activities to detect and decode eight-dimensional waveform expressions of target data

into four-dimensional thought form (height, width, depth, time), and to further objectify this data into two-dimensional media. I know that sounds like a mouthful, so lets break it down and

understand it clearly. I define Coordinate Remote Viewing as the learned ability to use two inherent kinesthetic human activities to detect and decode eight-dimensional waveform data. Detecting and decoding are

the processes whereby Viewers in a relaxed alpha brain-wave state (an altered state) close their eyes and begin detecting (perceiving) data via one or more of the principal or nonprincipal

modalities of perception, such as digital, tactile, visual, or auditory modalities, or possibly gustatory and olfactory modalities, of perception. This waveform data is decoded by the conscious mind into coherent

four-dimensional thought form. Using these modalities of perception, the Viewers conscious mind, even the biological brain, develops coherent thought form around what is being perceived. Some Viewers hear words, while

others see visual data; regardless of the modality of perception, the brain shapes the data into images, sounds, smells, tastes, and so on. This coherent four-dimensional thought form is objectified

into two-dimensional media via simple contours and texture sketches (visual data), and by writing the descriptors for sound, smell, taste, temperature, texture, and energetic and dimensional data (verbal data). So

long as this data is held in the mind, it is considered conceptual illusion. In other words, it is not usable or real until it is objectified, meaning written down.

In the mind, it can continue to morph, flex, grow, and shrink. This is what conceptual illusion does. Just try to think back to something traumatic in your life. The

more you dwell on it, the more it shifts and redefines itself with each passing moment. It cannot and does not remain stagnant or fixed, hence the term conceptual illusion.

It is a waveform expression of some event in past time, and it is not real; it is only an illusion. In my opinion, it is Targ and Puthoff who

are clearly the early heroes in all of this. These two men (with others) risked their professional reputations to test and evaluate the possibility that human beings can transcend space

and time for the purpose of viewing persons, places, and things remote in space and time, and can collect usable intelligence information on the same. Certainly, the vast majority of

provide partial answers, fragments of information, to the analytic side of the U.S. intelligence community. It was brought into the intelligence community to augment existing collection methodologies. This is the

calling of Remote Viewing in the future as well: to augment existing strategies in law enforcement, medicine, research and development, and more. Remote Viewing will never replace anything in conventional

or nonconventional quests for information. WHERE DID THE TERM COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING COME FROM? Latitude and Longitude. The concept of Coordinate Remote Viewing came from the early protocols for designating

a target site for the Remote Viewers to view. Lacking any complete understanding of what was possible in this human ability, the scientists who developed the protocols assigned latitudinal and

longitudinal coordinates to the target based on its actual location on the surface of the Earth. This two-dimensional plane had its limitations. Using latitude and longitude began to skew the

data the Remote Viewers were able to produce. It did this for the simple reason that the more you work with latitude and longitude, the more you are prone to

recognize where on the Earth you are working. For this reason, the use of latitude and longitude disrupted the scientific process adhered to by the Stanford Research Institute staff. The

scientists performing the experiments on the Viewers began noticing that the Viewers data was becoming highly accurate, perhaps too accurate, and they began searching for a flaw in the process.

It was determined that the Viewers had begun memorizing the latitude and longitude coordinates and as a result were guessing at verbal and visual data that was supporting the target

site. It was further determined that this was not intentional or by some sinister desire on the part of the Viewers to score well on the exercises. Quite the contrary,

the Viewers were as disturbed by the difficulty as were the researchers. One such system was the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Grid System. The UTM or Grid Mercator system divides

the surface of the Earth into one hundred thousand-meter squares and further subdivides them into ten-meter squares, the size of a small home. Regardless of the level of division, this

is still a system existing in an immovable template on the surface of the Earth, and it could potentially be memorized as well. Thus, it was abandoned as a possible

replacement for the latitude and longitude system. However, this was not the only reason the Grid Mercator system was abandoned. People were beginning to ask the questions that linked Remote

Viewing to the exploration of other worlds, other civilizations, perhaps even those outside our solar system. If this application were developed, how would you assign coordinates to another planet in

a general sense, or how would you segment using a UTM system what was potentially so far away that it could not be physically seen? You can see the problem.

The UTM system is still only a two-dimensional Cartesian system, just like the latitude and longitude system is. Adopting it would solve nothing, and its inherent two-dimensional limitations would not

serve any possible future use for off-planet work. Random Numbers. Something had to be found that would permit the assignment of target coordinates anywhere on the Earth and beyond. The

new system had to be without physical limitation and based on the concept of a target rather than on the actual physical location of the target. This opened vast new

possibilities in what Remote Viewers would be able to see in the Matrix Field. The idea was codified in the use of random numbers that would be linked to the

thought—the conceptual illusion, the concept—of the target that was held in the mind of the person assigning the numbers to the target. I will explain this further in the chapters

that follow. For now, I would like you to grasp the notion of why this process was so necessary and ultimately so brilliant. The assignment of random numbers meant flexibility.

There would be no front loading, no witting or unwitting memorization on the part of the Remote Viewers. For the scientists involved, this meant no overt corruption of the data

being developed by the Viewers. For the Viewers, it meant a complete release from the outcome, no attachment to the numbers, no struggling with the conscious mind or with the

left brain that would try to make sense out of the coordinates. The numbers, in and of themselves, would mean nothing to anyone except the individual assigning them to the

specific target. For this individual, the requirement was now a very serious one: the program managers, under normal protocol, must be capable of focusing their intention on the nature of

the target, be it an object, person, place, or event in the past or the future. The Viewers ability to do quality work hinged to a degree on this fact:

the poorly focused assignment of the target concept would likely result in nonspecific target data by the Viewer. However, focused intention by a program manager would drive the Viewers deep

into the intention of the target with far more accuracy than the broad latitude and longitude system could ever produce. Theoretically, a program manager could steer the Viewers forward or

backward in time, above the surface of the Earth, below it, or across the galaxy to something unseen yet existing in thought form. One such system was the Universal Transverse

Mercator (UTM) Grid System. The UTM or Grid Mercator system divides the surface of the Earth into one hundred thousand-meter squares and further subdivides them into ten-meter squares, the size

of a small home. Regardless of the level of division, this is still a system existing in an immovable template on the surface of the Earth, and it could potentially
