Associative Remote Viewing

REMOTE VIEWING is a term coined by Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ to describe a form of psychic functioning historically known as clairvoyance.¹ Dr. Puthoff and Mr. Targ, both formerly with Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International, have researched this phenomenon since the early 1970s, and their results are published in several books.² Their research was concentrated on training selected individuals to "see" or "view" a scene or event that was occurring at a distant location. In addition, the ability to "view" the scene at different times -- past, present and future -- was established.(READ MORE)

Conceptual Model

There is no question but that today's "hard" science has progressed to the point where it can describe our everyday reality very well. Much progress is now being made in the human, or "soft," sciences as well, and many models have been formulated in an attempt to expand the currently accepted understanding of physics, a so-called hard science, to include consciousness of the human mind.
The particular interest of the author for the past 22 years* has been trying to understand and explain those paranormal phenomena that have been labeled remote viewing, telepathy, mind reading, psychometry, psychokinesis, and psychic healing.
When a literature review and experiments suggested that there might well be something to paranormal (sometimes referred to as "psychic)" phenomena, efforts were turned toward improving the reliability of experiments in these areas as well as applying and understanding these phenomena.(READ MORE)

Make & UseYour Own Rod

A dowser is a devise that displays large movements which result from extremely small movements in the hand, arm, and body of the person holding it. There are many good books on dowsing (e.g. References 1 through 3). There are many types of dowsers. It is the authors' opinion that our minds are capable of accessing a universal information system (called the "STU" in Reference 4) to obtain any desired knowledge. By being specific about the desired information, by allowing your own analytical and conscious mind to get out of the way, and by believing it is going to work, the mind will channel the information back into your brain (i.e. the brain acts as the tuner/receiver). The information will then be processed by the brain which will activate the appropriate muscles via the autonomic nervous system to display the information (e.g. an answer to a question) by the movement of a dowser.(READ MORE)

Mental Access Window

What if the ability to do remote viewing, PK, and other high performance mental techniques could be induced with high-tech means? There is some evidence that there is a mental access window (MAW) when the predominat frequency of an individual's electroencephalogram (EEG) is 7.81 to 7.83 Hz. This is the same frequency range in which slight oscillations in the earth's magnetic field occur, known as "Schumann Resonance". (Interestingly, this frequency also corresponds to REM sleep and hypnogognic imagery.) Houck first learned of the ideas from Dr. Bob Beck when he purchased a simple EEG biofeedback unit from Beck. The unit provides auditory feedback of brain activity to the user. Beck suggested that they make a recording of an input signal of exactly 7.81 Hz. Houck listened to the EEG unit attached to his head in one ear while simultaneously listening to the 7.81 Hz (using frequency modulation, the EEG signal is combined with a 2000 Hz tone so it can be heard) recording in the other ear.(READ MORE)

PK Parties

PK Parties are events, somewhat unusual events, where people gather together to learn how to perform PK. PK stands for psychokinesis, or mind over matter! PK Parties work the best when people have fun and generate a lot of emotion, much like a party. Thus, I named them PK Parties.(READ MORE)

PK Required Materials & Format

The procedure used at my PK Parties during which over 85 percent of the attendees have learned how to bend metal and plastic is presented below. This bending occurs with a process called "warm forming," which has historically been called bending with psychokinesis (PK).(READ MORE)

Remote Viewing

In this paper, I am going to describe what "remote viewing" is, how to conduct experiments, how to think about it, and briefly how to do it.

In the mid-1970's, I read an article^l on remote viewing written by Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ in the IEEE Spectrum, an engineering publication. What they said was that a person could be sitting in a room in one part of the earth and send their mind out and perceive information about some place, or site, in the next block, or in another country; this is what we call a remote site. They can draw pictures and accurately describe these sites. This seemed absolutely incredible to me and did not fit at all with science as it had been taught to me! Like most, I guess I did not really believe that this was possible because I had had no personal experience with such things. However, Puthoff and Targ were credible scientists and worked at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California.(READ MORE)

Remote Viewing Experiment Instructions

The basic protocol for conducting remote-viewing experiments was established in the early 1970s by Dr. Harold Puthoff of Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International, and Russell Targ of Delphi Associates (Reference 1). In the early 1980s, Dr. Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne of Princeton University developed a computerized judging procedure which simplified remote-viewing experiments and seemed to produce more statistically significant results (Reference 2). In 1984, Lt. Aaron Curtis of the Air Force converted the Princeton computer's judging program to one that could be used with the Apple personal computer, making this procedure readily available to the general public.(READ MORE)

RV & PK Research

Doing research on paranormal phenomena has been my avocation for the last 17 years. I "normally" work as a systems engineer at a large aerospace company in southern California. The term "paranormal phenomena" covers a much broader area than just remote viewing and psychokinesis. The term "remote viewing" was coined by Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ in the early 1970's when they were working at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International in Menlo Park, California. Their research produced a number of important papers and books (e.g., References 1, 2, and 3). They were developing techniques for gathering information at a distance using the brain/minds of individuals. In metaphysics, this is known as clairvoyance. They named this phenomenon remote viewing as an attempt to make it sound more scientific as well as to have the term be descriptive of what was happening (people "seeing" at a distance). Other laboratories now use the term "remote perception" because all sensory data may be accessed at a distance, not just vision (Reference 4).(READ MORE)

Surface Change Paper

During 1981, I conducted 12 "PK Parties" in which approximately 85% of the attendees experienced metal-bending with apparent ease. In general, the participants described a short period, typically 5 to 20 seconds, in which the metal felt warm and was extremely pliable. After this period the metal would again become impossible to bend, as in its normal state. We have named this phenomenon "warm-forming" and have attempted to compile data that helps explain what occurs inside the metal. During the PK Party held April 20, 1981, a steel rod of 0.63 cm diameter appeared to change dramatically in surface color when "warm-formed" by Tim. This rod was submitted to a metallurgical laboratory for analysis. The results are contained in this report. (READ MORE)

Material Deformation by Intention

This paper was presented at the Science of Whole Person Healing Conference on March 28, 2003. The purpose was to show that humans do have interaction with and effects on matter. This report captures the results of 22 years of research with experiments in psychokinesis (PK). The author began the PK Party workshops as an experiment to test his hypothesis that significant paranormal effects would be produced if a large peak emotional event could be orchestrated. It worked so well in the first PK Party (January 1981) that he has continued to conduct theses workshops. There have been 361 PK Parties (17,000 attendees) conducted by the author, and many more by others all over the world. Often controlled experiments have been conducted within the PK Party environment, some that are reported in this paper.(READ MORE)
