In past times shaman, psychics and clairvoyants were said to have the ability to access 'psychic realms' in which all information was available. Those with a more metaphysical viewpoint have long expressed this as gaining access to what they call the 'Akasic records.'

But you may be surprised to learn that such viewing of events or objects in other times or remote places is now a disciplined scientific tool known as Remote Viewing -- or 'RV.'

**A Version of Time Travel?
The power of RV has been scientifically confirmed. Some remove viewers are evengoing so far as to claim that time travel is possible -- and that the human mind is the natural time traveler. And surprisingly, scientific confirmations have been achieved.

**What IS Remote Viewing?
Remote viewing (RV) is a refined mental ability that allows the 'viewer' to give details about something unavailable to their normal senses due to time, distance, or shielding -- that is, to actually 'see' something that is not really visible, in the common sense of the word.

Although it may sound like a 'lunatic fringe' activity -- RV is being used today in criminal investigations, government intelligence work, and even in certain business applications such as pre-determining the probable effects of an action, or for predicting the viability of a potential mining or drilling site.

The phenomenon of remote viewing is related to other mysterious 'psi' (parapsychological) phenomena such as clairvoyance or telepathy. But RV is not really a 'psi' phenomenon. Remote viewing is actually a learned skill that lets the viewer better use their own natural mental abilities.

Many very intelligent people who want to explore their full potential have also become interested in developing RV capabilities. And as might be predicted, numerous training resources have become available to fill that demand.

**The Remote Viewing Experience
Despite the 'viewing' part of the term, remote viewing is only partially concerned with what's visible about a target.

An RV experience also involves sensory-related mental impressions such as sounds, tastes, smells, and textures -- and some limited telepathy-like effects. And in many cases, the experience can only be described as an intuitive sense of "just knowing."

The "targets" chosen for remote viewing experiments typically include geographic locations, hidden objects, and even such things as archaeological sites and objects in space. In an applied session, the remote viewer might be asked to describe:

What makes remote viewing experiences unusual is that the 'viewer' is typically told nothing about the target -- often not even its name, or designation.

**A Brief History of RV

Remote viewing was actually first developed and explored in a strict scientific research environment. There were two parallel research efforts beginning in the USA in the 1970s -- a military program at Ft. Meade, Maryland, and a civilian-led, US Department of Defense research program at Stanford University.

Other civilian research and applications were also taking place around the world, and at that time the Russians were clearly in the lead at advanced RV and other 'psi' phenomena.

Unlike most other 'psi' disciplines, remote viewing is not precisely one thing - but is rather an integrated combination of several 'psi' mental phenomena. But RV is more structured than other 'psi' disciplines such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and out-of-body experiences.

In controlled remote viewing, the viewer not only verbalizes what he or she perceives -- the results are also recorded in writing, sketches, or even three-dimensional modeling.

**Scientific Views of RV

Some psychologists feel that formal RV methods are really just strategies that allow the viewer to successfully access their subconscious mind. But this fails to explain how a viewer could 'view' something previously completely unknown to them personally.

I personally subscribe to an interpretation tied to quantum physics -- and accept the quantum interpretation of life as a quantum continuum in which everything (and everyone) is inherently interconnected.

In the case of the person with RV or other 'esp' capabilities -- my belief is that they have simply refined their mental ability to more efficiently tap into the continuum of consciousness we call life.

But what was once called paranormal or psychic is now also looking a lot like what many today call 'virtual reality.' To those more familiar with virtual reality than parapsychology -- the concept of remote viewing may seem more familiar if described in such virtual reality terms as 'cross-dimensional wiring' or 'levels of consciousness.'

**Some Amazing Additional Resources The judge is still out. But if you have an interest in this fascinating subject, you'll find many exciting resources in The Self Discovery Community, including amazing people who will teach you RV methods formerly used only by the military -- or that will conduct a past, future or present remote viewing for your company.
