Psychic Remote Viewing 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: How is remote viewing best defined?
- The ability to see through solid walls using concentrated focus
- The ability to perceive information about a distant or unseen target through extrasensory means (Correct answer)
- A meditation technique that sharpens physical eyesight
- Viewing recorded surveillance footage from a remote location
Correct answer: The ability to perceive information about a distant or unseen target through extrasensory means
Remote viewing is the practice of perceiving information about a distant, unseen, or future target through extrasensory perception without any conventional sensory contact.
Question 2: Which U.S. government program investigated remote viewing as a potential intelligence tool during the Cold War?
- Project Blue Book
- Operation MKUltra
- The Stargate Project (Correct answer)
- Project Mogul
Correct answer: The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project was the classified U.S. government program that studied remote viewing and psychic phenomena from the 1970s through 1995.
Question 3: Ingo Swann is primarily credited with developing which remote viewing methodology?
- Associative Remote Viewing (ARV)
- Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) (Correct answer)
- Extended Remote Viewing (ERV)
- Scientific Remote Viewing (SRV)
Correct answer: Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV)
Ingo Swann, working with researchers at SRI International, developed Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), the most formalized and widely taught remote viewing protocol.
Question 4: In remote viewing, what is a 'target'?
- The viewer's intended mental goal during meditation
- The specific location, object, or event the viewer attempts to perceive (Correct answer)
- The monitor who guides the remote viewing session
- The analytical conclusions drawn after a session ends
Correct answer: The specific location, object, or event the viewer attempts to perceive
A target in remote viewing is the specific unknown subject — location, object, person, or event — that the viewer attempts to perceive through extrasensory means.
Question 5: What is 'Analytical Overlay' (AOL) in remote viewing?
- A stage in CRV where detailed sketches of the target are produced
- A mental interference where the viewer's analytical mind invents explanations for raw impressions (Correct answer)
- The overlay of impressions gathered from multiple viewers on the same target
- The post-session process of analyzing and scoring viewer data
Correct answer: A mental interference where the viewer's analytical mind invents explanations for raw impressions
Analytical Overlay (AOL) occurs when the viewer's rational, analytical mind takes raw perceptions and imposes invented explanations onto them, which can corrupt accurate remote viewing data.
Question 6: Why do researchers use a 'double-blind' protocol in remote viewing studies?
- To test whether viewers can perceive targets while physically blindfolded
- To ensure neither the viewer nor the evaluator knows the target, reducing bias (Correct answer)
- To run two separate blind sessions and compare results for accuracy
- To prevent the viewer from seeing any visual cues in the testing room
Correct answer: To ensure neither the viewer nor the evaluator knows the target, reducing bias
Double-blind protocols ensure that neither the viewer nor the person evaluating the results has knowledge of the target, which reduces expectation bias and improves scientific validity.
Question 7: What does the term 'ideogram' refer to in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV)?
- A written symbol representing the viewer's emotional state at the start of a session
- An automatic, reflexive mark made at the session's start that represents the target's basic gestalt (Correct answer)
- A complex spatial diagram showing the layout of a remote target
- A coded symbol used to categorize types of psychic impressions
Correct answer: An automatic, reflexive mark made at the session's start that represents the target's basic gestalt
An ideogram in CRV is a spontaneous, reflexive mark the viewer makes at the very beginning of a session, representing the target's primary gestalt or basic nature at a subconscious level before analysis begins.
