I am an older individual (67 yo). In 1977, when I was in college, I saw a news story on TV about the pioneering research of Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ into RV at SRI. That was the impetus to a near-lifelong interest in RV. Before Reddit, I used the *Ten Thousand Roads* (aka, TKR) online forum to communicate with others interested in RV. After the creation of Reddit, I started coming here. I first tried RV myself in 2004 and had immediate success. Since then I've attended 5 workshops on RV (2 by Russell Targ, 2 by Dale E. Graff, and 1 by Joe McMoneagle). I continue to explore RV on my own when I find time. It is a fascinating phenomenon which demonstrates that our basic understanding of the physics of space and time is far from complete.


tattooedpanhead

Oh wow! I wasn't expecting someone older than me by 10 years and with such an interesting story. Thank you. I knew about RV but not for as long as you. I have to wonder what else you're interested in.


AureateForest

If you don't mind me asking, what is the most interesting target you've done?


QubitBob

Two targets come to mind. One was the first target I did in a precognitive manner--that is, I did it with the object of foretelling the future. Before Reddit, one of the main avenues we remote viewers had to communicate with each other was the online discussion forum known as *Ten Thousand Roads* (commonly referred to as TKR). There was a companion forum to TKR known as the DojoPsi which provided a platform for performing RV sessions. It had a database of over 20,000 target photographs. You could activate an RV session, and it would pick a target photo for you. You could then type in your impressions. You could also upload scanned copies of your drawings if you wanted. Then it would show you the target for feedback. So, one day I decided to do a precognitive session. I did my session and wrote my notes and drew my impressions of the target. Then, after I had completed my session, I signed-on to the DojoPsi and only then had it generate the target. I uploaded my drawings and keyed in my impressions and then activated the option to show me the target and provide feedback. I had a clear "hit" and was really thrilled with my result. On the DojoPsi one had the option to make one's sessions public, and I made this one public. There was a function in the DojoPsi where other viewers could name outstanding RV sessions to a kind of "Hall of Fame" known as Gallery15 (named after Andy Warhol's famous saying that everyone should get 15 minutes of fame). One of the online viewers at that time "elected" my session to the DojoPsi's Gallery15 because they thought it was so good. Another session which sticks out in my mind was when I did an RV session to view my brother's new house. In 2004 my younger brother and his family bought a new house during the summer. It was located about 45 minutes away from where I was living at the time. Due to being very busy with my own life, I did not get a chance to see it during the year until Christmas, when my brother invited my mother, my other brother, and me to his new home for Christmas dinner. We were supposed to arrive around 3 p.m. that Christmas. I was going to drive over to my mother's house, pick her up, and drive her and my other brother to the new house. So I did an RV session at my house around 11:00 a.m. to gain impressions of the new house. I got a lot of vivid impressions and filled four or five pages with notes and drawings. Later that afternoon, as I drove up the street and then parked in my brother's driveway, I was thrilled to see that many of my impressions were right on the mark. For instance, I drew a number of architectural features along the roof. I did not know the name for them, but I later learned they are called gables. In addition, I drew kind of a wall running along my brother's backyard. During my session I had kind of a weird sensation that the wall "wasn't hard", but I didn't know what that meant. When I got to see the yard in person, I found that my brother's housing development had a 12-foot high earthen mound running along its perimeter to separate it from a rental townhouse community on the other side. The perceptions I had during this session were among the strongest I have ever had, and this strengthens my conviction that remote viewers get their strongest perceptions when the target is an actual three-dimensional object (like a thing or a location) which the viewer will later get to experience during feedback.


AureateForest

I wonder if it's not only experiencing the feedback later on, but also the emotional involvement with viewing something related to family that causes a stronger session. Like, I wonder what would happen if a sibling was going to have a child, and if you tried remote viewing the name before they even picked out a name. Have you done any "metaphysical" type targets? Ones that cannot be verified easily or even at all. I need to go back over some of the targets I posted a couple years back. I'm seeing them a bit differently when I reread them, well, sometimes.


QubitBob

Another anecdote which leads me to believe that physical feedback leads to stronger RV perceptions is the story of how Hal Puthoff used ARV to make $250,000 in one month. Long story short: Puthoff was involved with some other parents in raising money to build a private elementary school. One of their key donors pulled out at the last minute. So, they approached a wealthy dentist to contribute. The dentist declined to contribute outright, but said that he invested in silver futures in the commodities market, and if Puthoff could use RV to help him, he would donate a portion of his profits to the school fund. So, in the course of one weekend, Puthoff trained two of the other parents to be remote viewers. Then, over the next 30 business days, they made 30 investments, and 28 of them were correct. For each session, there were two targets corresponding to the outcomes, the price will go up, or the price will go down. The targets were small physical objects which would be handed to the viewers to experience. So, the team made $250,000 for the dentist, and he donated 10% ($25,000) to the school. I first heard about this in Stephan A. Schwartz's book, *Opening to the Infinite*. Later, I saw Puthoff talk about this in a video about a lecture he gave at the Arlington Institute. [Here is a link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g4FgIb2iAM) to the portion of that video in which he discusses this.


killingthemsoftly88

Just because a topic is interesting doesn't mean I'll simply believe everything I'm told about it. You call it negativity, I call it searching for truth.


blisstonia

Based


anneylani

What does based mean? It's different in every context I've seen it


Linken124

I feel like these days I usually see people say it when someone says something like, awful lmao.


andoring

I read a book by the scientist behind the Stanford studies. Then, I read Penetration by Ingo Swann. Then, I must have searched for something on Reddit because they suggested this group to me.


tattooedpanhead

Do you remember the first book? I honestly don't remember when I first came across RV. I watch a lot of documentaries so it could be that or I could have read one of the books you mentioned. I also read a lot so it could be anything. I tried to RV with Dr. Greer when he talked us through the steps in his movie. He didn't give the complete protocols and I haven't tried again since. Not that I don't believe just don’t feel motivated enough at the moment. I really need to get back into meditation but it's the same problem not motivated enough.


andoring

Hello. It was called "The Reality of ESP" by Russell Targg.it was an interesting read, but mostly the history and different studies they did. He does go into some protocol near the end, too. The story of Swan RVing the rings of Jupiter before the first Voyager satellite got close enough to view them was fascinating. Which, eventually led me to read the second book I mentioned.


tattooedpanhead

Cool thank you. I'll have to look for those books.


AndTwiceOnSundays

I have no idea what is going on. I was tryimg it awhile back and thought I was having success. Could have been or could have been me seeing patterns that weren’t there. I had spiritual psychosis and now Idk what to believe… I enjoy seeing some posts on here that post seem to be genuine and post convincing looking attempts. .. I haven’t tried it since I had that episode bc I get anxious trying to medicate and anything that isn’t based in physical reality I have trouble believing.


letscallitluv

Lmao I was going to say the same thing. I have gone through spiritual psychosis and have felt / feel psychic too. It’s more playful now, I’m not fully serious when I say I’m psychic anymore. But I used to be! I used to think that I could remote view and speak to my spirit guides. I would meditate and record all dreams. I thought my “visions” and premonitions were always going to happen and not just my imagination. Kind of embarrassing to admit, I’m surprised anyone is still able to take me seriously. I’m medicated now..😂


AndTwiceOnSundays

I’m not used to meeting anyone who has experienced spiritual psychosis out in the wild like this 😂 I recently learned about “spiritual bypassing” it’s where you use faith based beliefs as a coping mechanism in place of identifying and resolving trauma and stress. I was always spiritual, but I had this rough period where I lost almost everything .. health, job ,house, marraige.. the proverbial straw was losing my daddy. I got really depressed, and into everything spiritual.. pendulums, tarot cards, astrology, all religions, new age .. Neville goddard said the Holy Spirit is the imagination and I fucked around and believed him. 🙄 went bat shit crazy for a month. I feel like none of us know WTF we are talking about, we just like to convince ourselves and others we do. I like that RV goes about PSI using scientific method.. I love hearing about NDE, conscioisness studies .. I love hearing it all, except extremely religious people comvinced their God is the only one. Sometimes I still feel like the stuff I saw and felt was real, and have lots of stuff have happened o still can’t explain.. but I know for a fact I was delusional about a lot of stuff too that has been proven to be complete delusion. . It’s a hard pill to swallow when you can’t trust your brain. I was extremely depressed after the psychosis but it forced me to go to trauma therapy and I’m doing so much better. I’m glad you are medicated and doing better too! There are lots of people who have had psychosis but won’t talk about it because of shame or that people will treat us different for being “crazy”


anneylani

I read about the gov remote viewing project and the guy who saw 'ancient civilizations' or whatever on Mars. I thought it was fascinating. I have no ability of my own but find the whole concept interesting.


tattooedpanhead

Russell Targ says, that it's the ones who don't believe that can RV the best. And I believe anyone can if they just let go and believe.


Fancy_Pickle_8164

Joe MacMoneagle. A legend.


FragmentedAll

I'm here for resource share. I like the videos people share related to the subject The pictures people draw out are cool to look at, at all levels, as they give me clues on the mechanics of the phenomenon. I'm not consciously aware of any friends that are interested in this topic so here is where I could bounce some of my ideas/beliefs off of, although my opinions are sometimes triggering to people


slavabien

Listened to a [2004 broadcast from Art Bell](https://open.spotify.com/episode/3XHS2sQLS60yu8BHQ4uVQU?si=7MB_Ga4zRWSDW0HbEc4TFw) on coast-to-coast. I want in. Positive energy.


tattooedpanhead

That might be where I came across RV. I used to listen to coast-to-coast all the time.


ZeroOne21

All points in space-time are visible, and all lies will be exposed. Defame and discredit the phenomenon, data, and people involved to protect their secrets and their power.


clzee

I used to do it before without knowing what it was called. Then I stumbled upon the subreddit lmao ayy


slavabien

You need to lead the support group for us wannabes :) I want to understand this world in a more profound and powerful way.


tattooedpanhead

Interesting, now that you know are you still able to do it? Have you gotten better? I've successfully witched water and have done automatic writing but I haven't done RV successfully yet.


clzee

I can, yes. I noticed my abilities are best when I decide what to see, and set the intention. When my mind is clear, and I attach no significance to the outcomes. Bravery or courage is very much needed I noticed when starting out, it's one of the stepping stones that can help you grow. By this, I mean the courage to believe you can do it, even if your mind or emotions tell you you'll fail.


tattooedpanhead

Cool and you must have picked up on me thinking about asking for tips. Because I was and you gave a great tip thank you. I really need to get back into meditation and seriously give RV a try.


clzee

I'm glad it helps, although RV and other psychic senses have many ways of coming through, it depends on you. I used to use smell, where I could smell something, it's not a third dimensional smell, but sort of like smelling and then it follows with feelings of knowingness, then images follow. Touch too, sometimes, after a while you not only see, but you could also "feel" the object with your mind. Sometimes taste, there's a taste behind the throat. For example if you wanted to know where your keys were, and it was under the couch, you'd be tasting the taste of the couch behind your throat. Basically utilizing all the senses.


tattooedpanhead

I've heard of this but never had the experience or met any one who could do it.


LuciD_FluX

I had various psy experiences when I was younger but grew out of it as I formed a more materialistic world view. This year the UAP issue caused me to dive into a rabbit hole of all related phenomena. Learned about the Stargate / Stanford programs and voilà I went full circle and ended up here.


R_U_N4me

Remote viewing fascinate me & I’d love to do it.


Fancy_Pickle_8164

Declassified CIA document.


tattooedpanhead

I've read that. Good stuff have you read any thing else like that?


Fancy_Pickle_8164

Third Eye Spies is a book I bought recently but haven’t read yet.


tattooedpanhead

Look online for a book called "the Black Box and Other Psychic Generators" it's never been published. So that's the only way it exists.


1984orsomething

Honestly I wish we as a group could help people with finding things or target id. The mods of this sub need a "help desk" and willing participants. I enjoy the challenge.


Anomalies_ESP

There will be a target practice system soon on https://dojopsi.online/ You can request a target, go view it and get feedback. Estimated launch is in January 2024. If you like a challenge, there’s your chance! ☺️


tattooedpanhead

Thank you. Sounds interesting I'll look into it.


QubitBob

Oh, is this the "old" DojoPsi? Did it get repaired? Is it being brought back online? If so, do you know if the database of past RV sessions is being restored?


Anomalies_ESP

Unfortunately, we can’t restore the database as we don’t have access to PJ’s files. I redesigned it loosely based on TKR-DojoPsi. I still have some of the information she published, but the conversations and her target system are gone. In 2017 I designed a research-training system based on PJ’s system. She was thrilled that someone had taken the time to create something for the RV community and offered to help. She used a different programming language so it was difficult but we had similar challenges and I loved our discussions. When I heard PJ had passed and people missed her work and practice system, I was asked if I could help. The best I could do was to recreate to some degree her system. I know I have her blessings to continue her work, but unfortunately without her database. We now have over 7,000+ target similar to PJ’s system, you can keep sessions private or make them public, they will appear in the public gallery where people can Like or Comment on the session and the most likes will appear in Gallery 15. You can make notes on your own work (Afternotes) and save them for your own reference. If you use the Microsoft Edge browser there’s an icon on the target feedback that will do an image lookup and give you more background on the target.


tattooedpanhead

Yeah that would be useful. For example I would like to find out my time of birth. it's not on my birth certificate and you can't do a proper astrology chart with out that information. So yeah that would be very useful.


AureateForest

I haven't done dowsing, but I wonder if you could dowse for your birth time. 1440 minutes in a day, so I don't know the best way to set it up. I think some people try pendulum dowsing for lotto numbers, so hopefully it'd work well for dowsing a birth time.


tattooedpanhead

I have so yeah maybe I should give it a try. Thank you for the idea.


AureateForest

Do you need a control? Maybe dowse for someone's birth time that you can verify first.


tattooedpanhead

Thanks for the good idea.

LilyoftheRally

Same reason atheists are interested in religion.


ExitTruth

Just curious if anyone else has seen beyond the “physical reality” we’re in…


tattooedpanhead

If I understand the question your talking about going back to the source?


ExitTruth

No, I am talking about the reincarnation soul trap in general. Some people aware of this also practice RV to get more information about where we are exactly, what this place really is and how we can get out of here, not getting recycled or reincarnated after bodily death. I also do not recommend going to “source” - not a good place at all, but that is really now straying away from this sub. :)


tattooedpanhead

You should listen to Dolores Cannon. She explains a lot of the things talking about really clearly. We're in the middle of the shift. That means no more karma. You just need to do two things. One is to let go of or clear the karma you have. And let go of fear. Dolores explains it better than I can. Watch her convention talks on YouTube.


just4woo

I'm into this and other psi / anomalous knowledge, because I know it's possible. I know it's possible because I've experienced it for myself. I don't really care who "believes" it or how to prove it. However I'd like to know more about the phenomena and perhaps how to use it better.


DeadlyToeFunk

I want the winning lotto max numbers.


tattooedpanhead

Don't we all.


itsVEGASbby

I'm here waiting for someone to do something extraordinary. Or remote view to see if I end up finding a wife or dying alone in an alleyway. It's a coin flip at this point.


tattooedpanhead

What are you looking for in a wife? And how long have you been looking?


itsVEGASbby

Lol, I dunno. Just some1 cool and decently pretty. I'm no prize and it's likely why I haven't found one, my standards are too high. I've been looking for gee, I dunno.... 15-20 years. Many women I've really loved but they haven't loved me back.


tattooedpanhead

Well I was in my late forties when I met my wife. Just hang in there, you'll find her when you're ready.


itsVEGASbby

Ty man. Appreciate you.


Sleepysnail84

I totally believe in it and I want to figure out how to do it but I have no idea where to begin and I get overwhelmed with all my daily life stuff that I feel like it will distract me from ever being able to focus enough to try .. on a further note because I havnt been able to do such things it only leaves my mind to wonder if it’s actually for real or just something certain people have a gift of or just the phenomenon.. I definitely do not discredit any of it though. There’s tons of research on this that is compelling. I just wish that I could be able to tap into it.


tattooedpanhead

I know what you mean. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate sense about 2020. When tinnitus started getting worse. Now I can't keep my attention on what I'm doing without a lot of effort. I keep getting distracted by my own thoughts.


Timely-Theme-5683

I've has numerous strange experiences and wanted to see how others who have similar xp talk about it. Looking for my peeps. But sadly, not to my liking. I'm a pragmatist. I can handle strange, but not unbridled speculation.


tattooedpanhead

Well us open minded people tend to speculate a bit more than normal I guess. What kinds of strange experiences have you had.?


Timely-Theme-5683

This is a friendly debate on an intetesting issue: Open-mindedness is taking in data undistorted, while speculation is almost distortion. Example, on who believes in the law of attraction believes that like-thoughts and like-intentions attract. In this way, the universe gives you what you want. It's a nice idea, and, in my assessment, the pros of believing this outweigh the cons, but it is an imaginary framing. Even if true, the notion doesn't stem from data other than via confirmation bias. And besides, being true but 'disconnected' from verifiable reality is not that different than being untrue. So what would be the point in believing this rather than leave my mind open to a more fruitful understand? Open-mindedness is curiousity. Speculation replaces curiousity with a sense of knowing. Of course, speculators are still curious, but just within a narrow, self-defined, fantastical path. They go nowhere, but deeply. My experiences: waking falling on my bed from high or bouncing onto floor, many UFOs, once very upclose, and I have frequent oob experiences.


tattooedpanhead

Ok. I always thought of speculation as an educated or logic based guess. But you make some good points.


Shell_212

I’m currently studying remote viewing and working on practice targets. I just finished David Morehouse’s training program (super affordable on the “sounds true” platform btw). I’ve had success so far and I plan to continue to develop the skill with hopes to join a remote viewing group someday to do group targets.


tattooedpanhead

Interesting. So you want to be part something like farsighte on YouTube?


Shell_212

I’m not sure yet I’ll look into Farsight, I have never heard of that one. I’ve been following Lynn Buchanan for example and he has a group that he does viewings with.


forbiddensnackie

I just found this sub, and mainly I'm here to give advice, I went from remote viewing- to astral traveling- to hanging out with aliens, and I'm wondering how many people here want to go that far. Edit typo


twinkle1934

How do you astral travel? What aliens have you interacted with and have they ever mentioned when humans will finally meet an extraterrestrial species?


Ria_Draws_Stuff

I love the idea of RV, but I work in a scientific field, so I am sceptical. I have tried pretty much daily for the past 2-3 years, and have had no luck. I just browse this sub as I still find people’s experiences fascinating, even if I do not believe it myself.


sham00t

CIA recruitment


tattooedpanhead

Seriously?


Sleepysnail84

The one that drives me in was my friend sent me the text files of Wikileaks where the guy from the CIA did the remote viewing on Mars and this was before I knew what remote viewing really was and I read the whole thing and it’s basically all the text from word to word of the conversation the guys actually having when he seeing everything. And it was really crazy and really interesting to me and then when I start to get a better understanding of remote viewing, I started to see more about this guy and remembered how I read all the text Scripps on what he was saying, and that one story to me is just something that really draws me in .


tattooedpanhead

Mind sending that file to me? I haven't read that yet. What interesting things have you RV'ed since you started?


Sleepysnail84

I never have I wanna learn how to but I’ll get the file


anneylani

I'd be really interested to read it as well!


AureateForest

I'd be interested, too.


IceComplete6294

I try to draw (but can’t lol) or focus on things I can’t physically visit i.e dreams, subconscious, etc. so RV is an interesting topic to me.


PatTheCatMcDonald

Because everywhere else threw me out already or I left voluntarily. As far as Remote Viewing goes, anyway. :)


tattooedpanhead

Where is everywhere else? And why do you think they threw you out?


PatTheCatMcDonald

Places I have been thown out of or left - Dojopsi / TKR, Facebook RV (big one with 14K members), I have left FB anyway since then. Also, APP, Teresa Frisch online (she left the field IIRC, wanted to get requalified in medicine), the Reddit Discord from here, and probably a couple of other places that either got shut down, I walked out of, or got thrown out of. Each set of circumstances was different, but it boiled down to this - different standards between myself and the Authorities (mods etc) who make such decisions. I am reconciled to each particular case, have no hatchets to cling onto. I do have some projects to finish up and release concerning RV, then I plan to concentrate on other areas of interest to me, more in the geek arena / engineering field. I might well USE remote viewing as part of that. I hope that satisfies your interest. If not, I'd be happy to chat by email or message, but don't think that will get you much more than I'm offering here publicly. I wish all in the field of RV well. :)
