Remote viewing

FAQ about RV...

What is remote viewing?

Remote viewing is the 'perceptual ability whereby individuals are able to describe and experience objects, pictures, and locations that are blocked from or ordinary perception, either by distance, shielding, or time.'*

Remote viewing has been developed since 1972 and has been used variously as a protocol to elicit psi for scientific research, to find archeological sites and artifacts and, perhaps most famously, by the US Army and CIA for 20 odd years.

it sounds far fetched, is RV for real?

The RV protocol has been developed since the 1970s. Some seriously smart people have paid attention to it and used it successfully. It is best to get a feel for it from the people who developed it. For resources to explore this area, see the info in the right hand column on the projects page for links to researchers and books.

Can anyone do it?

It is thought that the ability to undertake successful remote viewing is similar to that of musical ability. That is, anyone can bang the keys of a piano and make a noise, but there will be varying levels of accomplishment above that which produce music. This is due in part to applying attention to it (learning, practicing, refining) and in part to innate ability. The best way to find out is if you give it a go and keep a track of the results.

Here's on online site that allows you to practice:

Gotpsi.org

But don't worry if you aren't a natural. Most remote viewers work with an 'interviewer' who doesn't need to have any RV ability. In fact, it might help if they don't!

Why do RV?

The history of the study and use of RV indicates that humans have an intriguing ability to obtain information when we otherwise shouldn't be able.

Once you become aware of the history, it is hard to ignore the possibilities RV affords. It should be able to save time, money and maybe even lives.

Plus, even if we don't know how it works, figuring out how to apply what we do know could help lead to wider use and, just maybe, subsequent explanation.

Sometimes it is used to try to get information about a future event (you can imagine how handy would that be!). It is called Associated Remote Viewing (ARV). Here's a nice intro to the concept:

MORE INFO ...

For those who are interested, here's a link to recent paper which puts remote viewing into perspective. It looks at the protocol in relation to the broader area of anomalous acquisition of information.

It also tackles the big issue of how to start to explain it in physical terms and provides some critical areas that RV can be used to further develop the theory and our understanding of the mechanisms.

Remote viewing - Hobart

In 2015 QIPP has started remote viewing group in Hobart, Tasmania.

Meetings are run in the evening every second Tuesday (contact info@qipp.com.au to confirm the date of the next one).

Meetings are held in the meeting room at the Parliament Coworking space, which can be found at:

Suite 30, Level 3
11 Morrison Street, Hobart

Read the FAQ in the column on the right to find out more about RV. Read the info below for more about the group.

Interested???

Email info@qipp.com.au to indicate you are interested in attending. If you have any questions, please send them through.

Or join the meet-up group: Hobart Remote Viewing Meet-up.

If you aren't in Hobart, but are still interested in remote viewing, drop me a line anyway. You can still participate in our exercises.

Why?

Remote viewing is one of the most successful and yet under utlised protocols to come out of psi research in the last few decades.

The protocols are clear and well set out. They can easily be followed by anyone with the inclination to do so.

QIPP is interested in exploring this fascinating area and help to bring it to bare on real-world problems. The step towards this is to start to use it - for all sorts of reasons: for fun, to see if it really works, to contribute to the scientific understanding of it, but also to help start to figure out how it can be used more effectively in situations where it could be employed, but currently isn't.

One of the first steps towards this is to get together a group of like-minded people who are curious, open to the possibility of it being useful, and who want to enjoy the process of exploring at the cutting edge of science.

Who should join?

Anyone who feels they connect with the aim of the group which is to have fun learning about and exploring the possibilities of remote viewing.

Don't worry if you have no remote viewing experience or ability. Most experiments involve at least one 'interviewer' who doesn't necessarily need to be able to RV. In fact it could be handy if you can't!

What do we do?

We'll meet at least once a month. We will discuss a remote viewing article, book or video and share our ideas on how to apply remote viewing.

We will also undertake remote viewing sessions (not compulsory!).

We are keeping track of our activities, thoughts and process here. (This page is available to group members only).
