Mindblogging

Last night I earned a little vacation from remote viewing. And this is a good thing.

How? RV training works like sport or musical training in that you are trying to make success second-nature. This means practice, practice, and more practice. You want to practice doing it right, not wrong. Once you have a particularly good session, you take a break. This lets your mind absorb the process which led to the success, letting it seep into your memory. After doing sessions about every day or so, last night I reached one of these milestones.

I worked exactly two sessions. Pulled up a tasking on my computer and then sat down with the clipboard to see what I could get.

The first session brought impressions of a structure. Windowsills, top, perforated and dome-like came to mind. The feedback photograph showed a female first lieutenant dancing on the wing of an F-16, its canopy opened. I could make an argument that the canopy was the window dome top that I saw, but its a bit of a stretch.

The second session was far more interesting. I pulled a tasking, sat down, and immediately got the impression of an “owl mask!” It was so strong (and so bizarre) it seemed to hit me in the face. I untangled it a bit to get further impressions of a round stone face, which I drew on my paper.

The second “taste” of the tasking provided a glimpse of a temple of some sort: a Greek-like building with many columns. I wrote “greek (or Mayan) ruins” and drew a columned building.

Then I fell asleep. Seriously! Closed my eyes to concentrate and instead I nodded off. I was awakened by my daughter’s popping out of her room to announce she wasn’t sleeping (that was one of my distrations that evening). I awoke and tried to get back on the target but couldn’t pick up anything more.

Then something odd happened. My home server locked up. It wasn’t the usual crash – the kind that kills everything – but a partial crash which was just enough to keep me from logging in. I spent the next fifteen minutes restarting it since it was my link to the Internet.

Once the connection was reestablished, I pulled up the feedback photograph and held my breath.

It was a picture of a crowd of people in Washington DC, taken in 1963, taken in front of the Lincoln Memorial!

Suddenly, I saw where I got my “stone face” and “Greek columned-building” clues. Once again it hit me how this remote viewing stuff really works!

The only problem with my results is that it doesn’t count. The focus of the photograph was the crowd, not the building in front of them. The Lincoln Memorial wasn’t anywhere in the picture.

Close but no cigar, kid.

The best part about this session is that nearly 100% of my impressions were correct. Most of my RV sessions have a lot of imagination thrown in. Every impression in this particular session (other than the owl) fit with the target photograph. It was as pure as I’ve ever received it.

Is it a Joe McMoneagle-quality session? Heck, no. But for a beginning RVer, it was a quantum leap in ability!

It was hard to sleep last night. The burst of energy I felt after seeing what I’d done had my mind racing with possibilities!

“This is what it feels like when RV works,” I thought. “It’s a high all unto itself.”

Call me an addict! I can’t wait to do this again!

I’ve been working on my remote viewing on a regular basis and continues to amaze me. The targets on RV websites like Dojo Psi have proven to be challenging to me, as they photographs often don’t have a clear focus. Still, I have had some interesting “hits.”

To change gears a bit, I decided to create my own target pool. Enlisting the help of my eager young daughter, together we snipped pictures out of magazines. When we had enough interesting pictures, we wrapped them in a sheet of paper and put them each into an envelope. Voila, a target pool!

It was then time to view. Hallie and I sat down on the couch and shuffled the envelopes up. She pulled one out of the pile and put it in front of me.

“Now comes the hard part,” I told her, as I worked to clear my mind. After a moment or two, I got an answer.

“Cliffs,” I said, puzzled as usual at just how I knew. “It’s the cliffs.”

Hallie gave me a quizzical look before opening the envelope.

Out popped the picture of a beach with an interesting rocky cliff. Bingo. Direct hit!

“Okay,” I told her. “Now its your turn.” She fished out another envelope and focused on it.

“I think its the shoe,” she said after a moment.

“The shoe, huh? I think its the Star Wars one.”

We then opened the envelope and looked at the picture. It was a picture of C3PO and R2D2. Bingo. Another direct hit!

Kelly came home at that moment and I chickened out at doing more, probably fearful of ruining my record (or perhaps more fearful I wouldn’t!), so we stopped there. Still, it was pretty impressive to me that I could nail two out of two in a simple experiment.

Truth be told, the pictures – all cut out of magazines – are irregularly-shaped. Thus my Star Wars hit might have been based on the weight of the envelope, though I can’t really say the same about my cliffs target. Ideally I’ll write a program to display random images from my photo gallery, as randomly as possible on a computer. That way there is no chance of getting clues from anywhere other than my mind.

Next month’s remote viewing conference is in Vegas. I wonder how good I can get in RV before I walk up to the gambling tables!
