    A Quick Update!

    Filed: Refs & Links, Daily Miscellany — Scooter @ 10:05 am

    Greetings, Everyone!

    A quick update to let you know about the latest goings-on and about what’s coming up. . .

    The week following Easter, Joe and I attended the Council Grove Conference in Kansas - the first time in over 30 years for me, having gone there with my step-father, Bob Monroe, back in the mid-70s, and Joe’s first time there. The Council Grove Conference was begun forty years ago to provide a safe place for colleagues to discuss their work in what was then an emerging field — the study of consciousness. This year’s conference’s title was: “Ways of Knowing: Sips from the Stream of Consciousness.” Elmer Green, Ph.D., of biofeedback fame, was one of the founders of the conference and graced us all with his incredibly lively presence and wisdom during the conference. Elmer is now 90 years old and more energetic and clear than most 20-somethings I know!

    Joe gave a presentation on “Remote Viewing — Beyond Space and Time,” which was so good he was awarded a standing ovation by the 120+ people there. Though I’ve heard Joe speak many times, I was yet again impressed not only by what he had to say, but with how clearly, powerfully and humorously he delivered his material. I gave a presentation entitled: “Stellar Ways of Being: Astrological Tips for Accessing the Infinite,” in which I had fun talking and interacting with the group about the strengths and issues of each Sun Sign and how best to get in touch with the ‘All That Is,’ given their Signs’ qualities. For some strange reason, I was internally prompted to actually sing a few bars of songs and music I associated with each Sign, so I also ended up belting out a few musical pieces here and there to give another way to experience the Signs. What WAS I thinking?! It was fun, in any event, and the folks seemed to enjoy it. Sorry — there are no recordings of either Joe’s or my presentations.

    After Council Grove, we then went on to Kansas City, where our old friend, Fowler Jones, a psychologist who also trained some Gateway Programs with me at the Monroe Institute many years back, had invited us to speak to his Psychic Studies Institute group, which we did at the Unity Temple on the Plaza on March 29th. Once again, Joe wowed the folks with his presentation about remote viewing and Star Gate, and I gave a brief talk about astrology and what a wonderful guidance and timing system it is for all aspects of our lives.

    COMING UP:

    For our Japanese friends and TV viewers, Joe will be appearing on the 13th episode of “FBI: Psychic Investigators” which will be airing April 8th at 10:00 p.m. on Nippon TV. We won’t know the outcome of Joe’s remote viewing of the two murder cases he did for the show while the film crew was here in Virginia a few weeks ago until after the program airs, but we’ll let you know how it turns out once we know something.

    For folks interested in UFO matters, Joe will be presenting “How Psychic Are They?” at the Great UFO/ET Congress at the Ramada in Bordentown, NJ on Saturday, May 3rd at 7:30 p.m. You can sign up for the conference by contacting Pat Marcattilio at (609) 631-8955.

    Folks in the Durham, North Carolina area may want to attend Joe’s one-day workshop on remote viewing on June 28th at the Rhine Research Center during their “Summer Psi Camp.” For more information, contact the Rhine folks at www.Rhine.org.

    That’s it for now. I hope all of you are enjoying the gifts of spring and are bringing your particular gifts to the fore for all to enjoy!

    Blessings to all,

    Other Japan Adventures

    Following the filming in Tokyo, Joe and I traveled by Shinkansen [high-speed ‘Bullet’ Train] to Kyoto, where we met up with a group of our Japanese explorer friends, who are in the following photos, taken by Joe.

    Joe has been remote viewing many double-blind targets for them over the previous year with the only feedback being; “You are doing very well, Joe-san.” It was now time for Joe to actually walk on the ground of the actual target sites to receive some of his feedback for that viewing. The nature for most of these targets is archeological and very difficult to explain, so actually walking on them was deemed to be the best form of feedback by the group.

    Our Good Japanese Friends:

    After spending a wonderful day touring Kyoto and doing quite a bit of shopping, early the following morning we and four members of the group traveled to the city of Nara, where we then spent the entire day touring a section of the southeastern Nara valley visiting many remote site locations.

    The following day we traveled again by Shinkansen to the southern tip of Honshu Island where we then traveled by large van to a number of other sites prior to our arrival at Hagi City on the west coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture.

    While there, we were invited to stay in the Tomoe Inn www.tomoehagi.jp and were graced with actually occupying and sleeping in the same room used by a previous Emperor [Emperor Hirohito of Japan.] A singular treat for Joe, who occasionally has dreams he shares with previous boarders of hotel rooms. As you can see, he’s enjoying our multi-course breakfast!

    The following day we again spent time touring many sites (to include an ancient neighborhood where Samurai lived) in the general area of Yamaguchi Prefecture before returning by plane to the Tokyo area.

    Catching a Killer

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff — Scooter @ 11:00 am

    The second target which Joe worked on was a cold case involving the son of a wealthy real estate baron from Beverly Hills, California who murdered his father approximately twenty-years ago. He tied his father to a chair and stabbed him multiple times with a bowie knife, then stuffed his body in the trunk of his car and left it parked at LAX.

    Joe has been working this case with Jimmy Sakoda, a retired Los Angeles Police Detective who was the lead detective on the case for many years and it is now a cold case still open in the LA Police files. Jimmy Sakoda is also famous for having been the Supervising Detective responsible for the Asian Crime Task Force for the LA County District, under the office of the District Attorney. As you might imagine, together Jimmy and Joe constitute a formidable team!

    They worked the case a year before tracking the murderer to Portland, Oregon where the trail eventually went cold. Their theory was that he picked up on the fact that people were inquiring about him and possibly fled the area before he could be apprehended.

    During this current year’s effort, Jimmy found that Joe’s descriptions most closely matched the Vancouver British Columbia area of Canada, so that is where he centered his search. It turned out that many of Joe’s sketches and drawings strongly matched the Richmond neighborhood of that island area. Many of Joe’s drawings matched in nearly perfect detail to the downtown and harbor areas, and even some of the more specific general-use public buildings that the man they were hunting might have used or occupied — such as the interior of the main or downtown public library building. The neighborhood area in which the search finally settled turned out to be so unerringly accurate when compared to Joe’s drawings, Jimmy was able to stake-out a particular duplex building in a specific parking area. But, alas, there was no evidence that the man they were looking for was there. Once again it appears he had eluded them. Joe and Jimmy have sworn to continue their search until they bring their man in.

    Finding a Missing Father

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff — Scooter @ 10:30 am

    The most recent showing of the 2-hr TV Special, “FBI Psychic Investigator,” aired in Japan September 25th at 9 PM on Nippon Television, Channel 4, and as usual, did very well. Joe’s portion of the show was exciting because he was asked to assist in finding the father of a famous young Japanese comedian, Tamura-san.

    Tamura-san lost his mother to cancer when he was a small boy, and his father was forced to quit his job, so the family had to live on their father’s savings in order to care for their sick mother until she finally had fallen victim to her disease. By then the family money had run out and one day when he and his siblings returned home from school, they found they had been evicted from their home onto the street. The family was forced to split up, initially living on the streets, each going their own way. So, as a small boy, Tamura-san lived on a school playground for over a month, until rescued by family services.

    Eventually favored by fortune, Tamura-san became a famous Japanese comedian, and searched for his father for years, but to no avail. He finally asked the studio if Joe could help. The production staff sent his father’s name and birth date to me, which I then made into a target by writing this information on a piece of paper and placing inside a sealed envelope, which I then gave a target number for Joe to remote view. The film crew then came to Virginia and filmed Joe as he described the target and his location (to which he was blind, of course).

    Many interesting things happened on this target. Joe obviously described the Osaka, Japan area, but some of his descriptions were also obviously drawn 180 degrees in reverse. This is something that is unusual, but not completely unexpected sometimes with Joe’s sketching — when his drawings are subsequently reversed they will usually be more accurate. Another interesting problem was that Joe kept moving Tamura-san’s father between what appeared to be a treatment facility and his home and couldn’t seem to keep them separated, one from the other. This sometimes happens when that person is spending as much time at one place as they are at the other, especially in their old age. One location will soon appear to be as much a ‘home’ as the other is actually ‘home.’

    In any event, Joe was able to assist in locating Tamura-san’s father and they were able to contact him for a possible future reunion. Their reunion proved to be a very moving and emotional event. It was the first time Tamura-san had seen his father in over 13 years.

    Back to Japan!

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff, Refs & Links, Secrets of the Sky — Scooter @ 1:53 pm

    Sorry for the long space in between blog entries, folks — it’s been busier than ever around here, which hasn’t left much time or focus for updating the blog. Joe and I have been traveling quite a bit in addition to our usual workload, so the good news is we’ve been out and about in the real world instead of too much virtual computer life. The other news is, we’ve not been very good about keeping up with e-mail or our Blog (clearly)!

    In fact, we’re taking off again, which is what I wanted to share with you all, especially our Japanese friends. Joe will be appearing on another “FBI: Psychic Investigators” show for Nippon TV in the next couple of weeks. I think this will be show number 13. The Japanese film crew was here about a month ago, filming Joe in our dining room as he remote viewed the locations of a couple of missing people. As ever with all such targets, I wrote down the names of the missing people and put that in closed, opaque envelopes, giving each envelope a target number.

    Joe accurately described the targets, then drew maps and gave specific suggestions about where they should look for these people. The Japanese film crew and producer then took this information and will use Joe’s maps, drawings and descriptions, along with the help of a detective, to see if they can find the people. Joe was pleased to once again work a cold case file with retired LAPD detective, Jimmy Sakoda, who came to Virginia with the film crew. We’ll share more details on that case once it’s solved!

    The show will be aired IN JAPAN ONLY on Nippon TV, Channel 4, the end of September — I think they said the 25th, around 9:00 p.m. Check your listings to make sure. After we return from the other side of the world - which besides Tokyo, includes a side trip to Kyoto (my favorite city), Nara, where the huge Buddha is, and Yamaguchi prefecture south of Tokyo, we’ll let you know if they were able to locate Joe’s targets. They don’t tell us any of the results ahead of time, presumably so Joe’s reaction in the studio portion of the filming will be spontaneous. So…stay tuned!

    Meanwhile, anyone interested in looking at the astrological forecasts for 2008 may want to pick up a copy of Sydney Omarr’s ASTROLOGICAL GUIDE FOR YOU IN 2008, which my writer/astrologer friend, Trish MacGregor, does each year. I’ve got an article in it, “Signs to Make a Difference,” about how each sign can make a positive difference in the world by honoring their Sun Sign traits.

    I hope everyone enjoys what’s left of the sultry days of summer, as the brisk breezes of autumn will be here forthwith. We’ll let you know how Joe’s remote viewing turns out for the Japanese TV show, and update you more frequently than once everyone five months — promise!

    Warm regards to all,

    Real Premonitions on A&E

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff, Refs & Links — Joe @ 11:58 am

    On the following dates and times, a show on premonition called; “REAL PREMONITIONS” will be shown on the A&E Channel:

    March 8th, at 10:00 PM EST

    March 9th, at 02:00 AM EST

    March 15th, at 11:00 PM EST

    March 16th, at 03:00 AM EST

    There are a number of people who were interviewed for this show, to include myself and my friend Ed May. There is an excellent live demonstration of a totally blind “precognitive remote viewing,” which I did for this show, that was captured on film, wherein a description of a photograph was provided prior to its being randomly selected from hundreds of possible targets — in fact it was also judged a first place match prior to anyone knowing which photo was the actual target photograph.

    For those who might think a lot of targets were filmed so that we could cherry pick a good one for broadcast — not true! We only filmed two attempts and both resulted in almost equally excellent results. I can’t speak for the rest of the show, but Ed and my part of the shoot was a lot of fun. See the show and decide for yourself.

    Walking the Talk

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff, Refs & Links — Palyne-webM @ 2:02 pm

    Hi, this is Palyne. Recently, some folks and I were talking on an RV forum about the issue of doing double-blind RV work “in public” — and how much courage it takes when failure in front of everybody is on the line.

    Many public demonstrations of Remote Viewing are a bit inaccessible to the viewers who’d most like to see them. Sure it’s mass media, but most people I know either hear about it after the fact, or catch it by chance. Except ironically, those which have the most questionable protocol, which as black humor would have it, may even get re-runs.

    I’m really impressed with Joe’s Nippon TV work… now if only I was in Japan so I could see it for myself, that would be great! I bet lots of other RV fans feel the same way. We want to SEE it!

    As a result of talking about this with other viewers, I’ve come to realize that many folks have no idea how much work Joe has done on-camera, in-protocol, over the years. They didn’t see it, and you can’t look up a TV show like you do a book (especially if it was in another country), so it’s just “out of sight”.

    This doesn’t start on all the viewing he’s done publicly in protocol at in-person presentations, which is a whole other category. And not counting the viewing he does for science, and has since what, 1984 I think. And not counting the the viewing he does constantly as applications work, and has since when… 1977-9 I think. (30 YEARS now! Holy cats!)

    But for sure when it comes to “public demonstrations,” he’s been busy “Walking the Talk” for years and for real. In my view, he’s close to being a genuine “Army of One” in that category.

    Particularly in terms of ongoing, repeat work — and especially in terms of forcing media (most of which resist fiercely) to hold a proper double-blind protocol. I suppose some of media’s resistance or avoidance is understandable, as a lot of the public-media regarding alleged RV, as well as a lot of the psychic methodology training, does not enforce or even mention the need for the doubleblind. If even people in the RV field itself carefully avoid it, I suppose it’s unfair to expect media to take it seriously, especially when they have good reason for feeling “a need for control” in the on-camera situation.

    Joe’s adamant insistence on proper protocol in his media over the years is unique in my observation; the occasional media people I sometimes talk to, about shows they are doing or have done, confirm this. And still, despite his offering education, often a scientist to consult with, etc., a good number of his successes over the years have ended up happening despite some unbelievably stupid issues related to problems in tasking and feedback. Nothing that invalidates the doubleblind, but definitely things that most other viewers would be offering as fairly legit reasons for session problems . . . not succeeding in spite of them.

    So I asked Joe if he’d outline numbers for the “on-camera public” demonstrations he’s done. I just wanted something to reference in conversation. But it was a bunch of info he returned, so I thought since he hadn’t posted on his blog in awhile, folks who read his blog might appreciate seeing this too.

    By the way: he and Nancy (Scooter) are doing fine. They recently had their first non-working ‘vacation’ in many years. They’re still ridiculously busy, as always, and wish they could blog-by-telepathy so it’d get done more. ;-) — P



    (from Joe:)

    I’ve done 138 double-blind demos on National level television in nine countries. I’ve been successful in 109 of those cases. Twenty-three of those cases have been abject failures, and six were turned over to police departments because they resulted in criminal actions and their results to date are unknown.

    Thirty-two of those cases have been searches for missing people where they’ve put the persons name and birth date only in a sealed envelope. Of those missing person cases [which are known to be the most difficult cases
    in remote viewing], I’ve located the missing person, either living or dead, missing from seven to sixty-one years fifteen times for a success rate of 46.9%.

    Understand these are subjective cases as evaluated by audiences and studios, but when comparisons are made of actual locations post hoc to my detailed drawings, it’s pretty conclusive. Most of my viewings usually involve a minimum of at least eight hours of viewing and at least “16 to 25 sheets” of detailed drawings of the target locations, of which less than 20% of the data provided is obviously erroneous. The data is easily recognizable to the average person on the street and does not require extensive analysis by experts (in other words, it’s picture-graphic). In almost all cases I do the RV’s on my dining room table no matter where in the world the target might happen to be, when it might have occurred (year, month, time or date.)

    I’m always double-blind to the target. I never have a monitor. No one ever asks me questions when I do the remote viewing. I’m only asked questions about my viewing when it’s terminated, and then I only allow questions to be asked in reference to what I’ve provided. If anyone ever gives me any information, I terminate the RV and walk away, even while being filmed.

    Hope that answers whatever question about filmed RV’s might be asked.

    I’ve worked live in: Germany, Holland, Japan, Hungary, Russia, America, United Kingdom, Austria, and Sweden. I’ve done most of my work in Japan, America, and the United Kingdom.

    – Joe



    Public ‘walking the talk’ is a big deal for RV. And since I’ve come to distrust media’s RV protocol the more I know about it, public RV that I feel sure IS done in protocol, since Joe is famous (or infamous, haha) for insisting, is invaluable.

    Of course, not all viewers have 30 years of experience, a military background, scientists who respect them, and TV cameras following them around. I remember in the old days on the www — dating back a dozen years now — viewers used to complain that they had no way to prove themselves, since they didn’t have an intell unit, a science lab, or a TV camera nearby. How will “the next generation” demonstrate itself, they asked? How can a viewer demonstrate skill in a way to be allowed to address applications? Most viewers don’t have a resume like STAR GATE. Some way of showing their stuff could function as a resume. How could it be done?

    In part to serve that need, now there are resources there didn’t used to be. Online. Anonymous if you choose. Free, even. Like the Ten Thousand Roads Remote Viewing and Dowsing Project, in particular the TKR at the Dojo Psi area. The dojo allows an easy way for viewers to practice (automated practice pool), to view together (weekly tasker-created targets that are done by many), interact with other viewers (talk to the viewers on any session), manage your own target pool (software help so you can do your own taskings or ‘mix’ task sources), and there’s even tools for viewing and tasking outside the project as well. But given it forces a doubleblind, one of its most useful purposes is to allow viewers to “show their stuff” for others in protocol.

    I think those of you into RV will like the dojo’s tools. Check it out: register or log in, click on the purple ‘RV Galleries’, and then the link ‘Locals Faves’, to see some pretty good viewing. (Usually. Sometimes, why a session gets voted there is beyond me! But many of the sessions there are really good. Consistency is a serious issue — are you surprised? — but everybody’s learning, and you can watch people appear to improve over time, which is very encouraging.)

    The dojo tools do get used, and some viewers can really knock yer socks off now and again. Yet oddly, despite that probably 80+% of the online RV field as I encounter it is ‘methods trained’, almost none of them will view in the only online place that enforces the doubleblind and shows your stuff to the public. A few others donate sessions to the Window Gallery (where you can post sessions done elsewhere), but getting practice and missions done in a formal methodological format is like pulling teeth.

    This was the ‘big chance to prove it’. Instead of pouring in to show their stuff, everybody “talkin’ the talk” just scattered. There’s maybe half a dozen viewers who happen to use one of the popular methodologies (CRV, TRV, SRV, etc.) methods ‘openly’, hanging out with the other viewers. Probably a dozen who do but only post summaries, so it isn’t evident how they go about it. But there are count-them-zero “experts” (the ones selling RV expertise or claiming it loudly in media, on the radio, or on the internet) to be seen. Not only that, but despite allegedly growing on a quarter million people trained in some ‘variant’ of the methods mentioned, there’s also zero publicly-acknowledged graduate-viewers of-experts to be seen.

    Now it’s not like people need to use that website — who cares. It’s not about “that” option, it’s about what needs to be done somewhere that is an option. I think it’d be nice, given the number of people claiming skill at viewing, if we saw a few more of those people in a provable public protocol somewhere. Anywhere. That’s free, anonymous to start, allows privacy on practice, and is accessible to everyone, so it just sounds like a good alternative if someone either can’t, or won’t, “view on TV.” Why should Joe have to carry nearly the entire evidential weight of this field on his shoulders?

    Joe has showed more of this double-blind, in-protocol, live-demo courage, and in really BIG venues such as national television in many countries, than everybody else publicly ‘in the RV field’ combined and then doubled.

    Many of the folks who read this blog probably already know that. But I thought it was worth saying out loud. I think his viewing is worth waxing on about a bit, and this is (after all) his blog, so what better place? He won’t wax on about himself, so I’m going to do it, since once in awhile I think somebody should. ;-)

    – Palyne

    P.S.: I closed comments on this post, since this is not my blog. To prevent my embarrassing him by waxing on about him any further, maybe this will inspire him to use his own blog a little more often, so I don’t have to. ;-)

    Today January 10, 2007, is Joe’s SIXTY-FIRST birthday! Our favorite psychic Capricorn has been around for some time now eh?!

    Given he’s officially died more than once (!) and come awfully close goodness knows how many other times — from hard combat to medical — I think having him around for this day is a long string of miracles… that rocks.

    I’m hijacking Joe and Scooter’s blog (webmaster key!) to post a note wishing Joe a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Anybody who’d like to say hello and happy birthday to Joe, you can post a comment to this message and he will read them.

    Glad to have you around Joe. You’re the man!!

    I want to thank all of you who have so kindly sent your thoughtful condolences to me and the rest of the family with the loss of our step-sister, Laurie Monroe, who died on December 18th from lung cancer. Though deeply saddened that she is no longer with us, I’m relieved for her that she’s not in pain anymore and doesn’t have to struggle to breathe. We will miss her wonderful exuberance and enthusiasm for life, and wish her God speed in her now-unfettered state of Being.

    Joe and I will update the blog a bit later about our recent trip to Japan for the latest edition of the Psychic Investigator Show he did for Nippon TV, which aired December 26th.

    Again, my appreciation to all of you for your loving support since Laurie’s passing.

    With gratitude,

    A few updates

    Filed: Refs & Links, Daily Miscellany — Scooter @ 11:10 am

    A quick update on Joe’s Activities . . .

    Anyone who is a subscriber to Whitley Strieber’s Unknown Country will be happy to hear that Joe’s doing an interview with Whitley for his on-line website http://www.unknowncountry.com/subscribe/. They plan to post his interview on the site by Saturday the 2nd of December 2006. The interview will last approximately 45 minutes.

    For the more TV-watching inclined, Joe recently completed filming a live, double-blind demonstration for the A&E Channel, demonstrating Precognitive Remote Viewing. In what many consider totally mind-bending, Joe described the target photograph prior to its being randomly selected by a computer. His target was double-blind judged by Ed May to be a first-place match. He did a second target as well which achieved a second-place match. Joe believes it, too, should have been a first place match, but you can watch the show and determine this for yourself when it is shown. The A&E Special on Precognition is scheduled to air sometime late February or early March on the A&E Channel. Watch this Blog for the date/time.

    And for our Japanese friends, this past week Joe worked a few missing person cases for the upcoming edition (the 12th or 13th now — I’ve lost count!) of the Japanese TV show, “FBI: Psychic Investigators.” In an interesting change of pace for this show, he worked a cold case with retired Los Angeles homicide detective, Jimmy Sakoda. Jimmy now operates a Risk Intelligence and Corporate Investigation Firm with his son out of Newport Beach, California, www.jsisolutions.com. Joe also remote viewed (using the typical, double-blind protocol) two missing people in Japan, which took nearly sixteen hours of filming in our dining room. Preliminary feedback is that he might have been successful, but we won’t really know until the live studio filming on the 16th of December in Tokyo. The show is scheduled to air in Japan on Nippon TV, Channel 4, the evening of December 26th from 9 to 11 p.m.

    Here’s hoping all of you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

    Warmly,

    Do you tell anyone?

    Filed: Politics, R.V.B.S., Cool Psi Stuff — Joe @ 12:12 pm

    The question is, if you get information “psychically or through remote viewing” that might be useful to someone in power, do you tell them?

    Of course not! My recommendation would be not to do it, unless you want an FBI case number after your name and a permanent file in their regional data bank where someone will go to it every time something really screwy happens and ask to look at his “nut-balls” listing, to see if anything cross references to you — because that’s exactly where you will end up and that’s exactly what will happen.

    You could volunteer your information in some secretive way? Actually, that could prove to be much worse. What if you turn out to be right? If you are correct, then you are automatically suspected as involved and every effort will be made to hunt you down since you did deliver the information secretively. And since they have had to hunt you down, you are now automatically considered a righteous suspect, or at least until you are totally cleared (preferably by alibi.) Take my word for it. Out of any given 100 investigators, and I’m talking hard-core investigators, maybe two would believe you got it in your dreams or psychically in the first place, so you still get the case number and go in the nut-bag file drawer until you’ve solved at least five or six cases.

    This is probably something not worth doing unless they come and ask you for it first. This means you must first develop a track record of some significance.

    (Ding!) I heard that from the back of the room. “Gee, how do I do that if no one will ever listen to me or use me in the first place?” Great question!

    Basically, it’s called sink or swim. You jump in. Ignore everything I just said. If you think you are that good and the information is that good, you pick up a phone and call someone at your local FBI Regional Headquarters and give them your name. You tell them you are a psychic [don’t try and explain remote viewing, they don’t care about it] and you have information you feel is important. Then you give them the information. They take it and put it all in the “Nut-bag File.” If it comes true, they will show up at your door and you will be seriously interviewed and asked where you were and what you were doing when it occurred. I hope you have a great alibi for where you were when it happened.

    Now, you keep doing that, until you’ve established a track record that contains more accurate information than inaccurate information, at which point they will then take you out of the “Nut-bag File” and give you a confidential informant number, and may actually accept your phone calls. However, and this is critically important you hear this because I will only say this one time. If you tell anyone you are working for the Government or the FBI, and they find out you said that, you will go permanently into the “Nut-bag File” and they will never speak to you again. The rule is; if you talk about their business, they will have no business to do with you. And that is the same with every law enforcement agency I’ve ever had any knowledge of.

    And, there is one louder and more significant word of warning that is even more important when it comes to important people in power and that regards the President of the United States. Never mess with the President unless you are absolutely, 100%, solid-gold positive about your information and can back it up with a track record that is Platinum-clad. The Secret Service is an organization that does not muck about or play games with anyone about anything at all. You do not want to go into their “Nut-bag File.” Once you go in, you do not come out.

    There is one other comment I would add here. If this is a game you want to play in, then you can’t be just good at it, you must be very, very good at it. Because there are people in power who play on more than one side of the street and they do so simultaneously. Sometimes they even play on more than one street at a time. If you cannot see that psychically along with the information you are choosing to deliver, you may be playing in a very awkward game and be in for some very uncomfortable surprises.

    As many of you know, I can be somewhat humorous when speaking. In the past, I have sometimes referred to remote viewing within the halls of government, the law, or bureaucracies as more like a ‘knife fight in a phone booth’ (then of course everyone titters and laughs.) But, no matter how many laugh whenever I make that statement, I’ve never made it to be funny. It’s absolutely true.

    Fear and What to Fear

    Filed: Politics — Joe @ 11:30 pm

    Regarding the question on fuel processing plants overseas - when the successful strike is made by terrorists on the fuel processing plants in Saudi Arabia, the world will know it — that’s what I was primarily talking about. Our current glut of cheap gasoline is hardly very interesting to me or anyone else, since it suddenly appears right at “voting” time. They’ll find reasons to raise the price immediately after you punch in your votes.

    The idea that they have processed too much fuel for cars and trucks here at home and have to lower the cost to get rid of it seems to be a ridiculous concept to me. The sudden release in reserves simply dropped prices like a rock just prior to National Elections — oh, duh! There could be other reasons, like other suppliers manipulating our voting process as well, but we’ll never know because we have no real news source we can trust any longer. It’s our own fault of course. The larger portion of the general public that chose to change their channels to “Hardcopy” rather than pay attention to real news, which is what drove real news collection by real reporters overseas completely off the air, has demonstrated real democracy in action.

    We simply get what we ask for, while those who own things continue to chase the cheaper end, all the while raising costs, and walking off to the bank with all the cream off the top. Sheep are sheep and sheep shearers are and forever will remain sheep shearers.

    We’ve really victimized ourselves here because the crushing demands on two working adults in every family now trying to make ends meet has made our time very precious to us. Trying to take the time to understand what’s actually going on is no longer even possible. We the public have demanded shorter and shorter sound bites from the nearly non-existent news media. When we tuned to “Hardcopy,” we tuned out our much needed support to worldwide news bureaus at a time they most required it. They were shut down, consolidated, traded off, or eaten up in the resultant buyouts. The long histories of cooperation, trust, and deep seated connections they had throughout the world were permanently severed. They no longer have access to the news they need to keep us informed. They aren’t there anymore.

    Now we demand news that no one can provide. In our anger at being bilked, we now listen to or watch the radical radio or television shows that give us what we want to hear or see, what makes us comfortable, at a time when we are feeling even more stressed and afraid. So, now as a public, we are systematically being broken up into groups of radically-thinking bigoted idiots, and we haven’t got a clue that’s even happened to us. We’ve stopped critically thinking for ourselves because we haven’t time for it.

    We go to churches where Crusades are being preached against major elements of our own countrymen, at a time when we should be coming together to weather the storm. And by the way, this isn’t a new crisis folks. Terrorism of this kind has been with us since the mid-sixties or long before that. What’s changed is that back then and up until 9/11 it was fought clandestinely and the average American just didn’t hear about it. And of course the numbers were much smaller back then — or were they? Has politicizing terrorism raised it to hero status and increased its financial and recruitment support a multi-mega-fold? I suggest it has.

    First, look at the numbers. There were lots of terrorists back in the eighties. If you doubt my word on this, I suggest, no, beg that you at least obtain and look at one of the copies on “International Terrorism in the 1980s — A Chronology of Events” There are two volumes. Volume !, 1980 — 1983, and Volume II, 1984 — 1987, [Mickolus, Sandler, and Murdock; Iowa State University Press, 1989]. They both list hundreds of terrorist organizations and literally thousands of terrorists events, many of which occurred right here in America, many of which killed American citizens in their homes and work spaces. It went on for decades and no one apparently was aware even though it was public data. Now suddenly the war is public and the data is classified. Go figure! And now that terrorism has been politicized many of the groups who wouldn’t have been caught dead cooperating in the 1980s will now. There’s now an unending supply of volunteers for the terrorists ranks because the label “Freedom Fighter” has attained a heroic or an almost mythical reputation in some areas of the world. And the level of monitory donations to the cause has gone off the charts, where before they were lucky to find enough cash to eat day to day.

    What’s my point? Well, a decision was made soon after 9/11 to turn it into a public “War on Terror,” which began to use your “gut level induced fear” to change things in America. What things? How you live your life and how you feel about your guaranteed freedoms under the Constitution. For instance; there are illiterate people of color in this country who have never missed a chance to vote. They live on land given to their family, family’s, family’s, family who were originally slaves, and this can be proven in a court of law. Of course they can’t afford to prove it because they hardly make enough money to pay the taxes on it from year to year. Many of them no longer drive and they certainly do not own passports, but our Congress and Senate who have bought the old fashioned model for what fighting a war means, is currently attempting to change the law, which will require these people to provide proof they are United States Citizens. A ridiculous notion when they’ve not changed their address for nearly 200-years.

    There are also mountain people, desert dwellers, ranch hands, farm workers, migrant workers, crop pickers, cutters, shearers, harvesters, herders, miners, diggers, day laborers, unskilled carpenters, and I could go on — basically your below minimum wage American poor who are legal citizens of this country who are about to be disenfranchised, not because they don’t have a drivers license or can’t prove where they live, but because they might not be able to obtain a birth certificate or never owned a passport.

    I learned a very long time ago, in a number of other wars, where we tried to instill Democracy. When you counter terrorism, you counter it from the bottom up, not the top down. If the people begin to feel policed, oppressed, and controlled, then they will begin to feel terrorized and afraid. The disenfranchised and unemployed poor are the very ripe recruiting grounds for terrorists. In order for any terrorist to operate they need to live among the people. If they can’t, they cannot hide, they cannot survive, and they will eventually fail in their mission. You need the cooperation of the people, especially the people at the bottom of the totem pole.

    You go first and foremost to the people for help to counter terrorism you don’t change the laws to control the people. That’s something I do not believe our government has come to understand yet. They’ve not spoken to anyone in this country about what they need from us that’s of a positive nature, they’ve not asked for the help of the American people, they’ve not treated us with respect, and they haven’t provided or issued a single positive letter of guidance to help reduce the fear which they carry much of the responsibility for having created. Enough said.

    Regarding Visuals

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff — Joe @ 10:17 pm

    Don Williams’s comments are quite accurate regarding visuals. So are Skye T’s comments. That’s the whole point. They’re different for everyone. Its how you learn to deal with them and integrate your visuals into your mental processes and how you integrate them within your internalized processing (or not) that matters; also, understanding that these processes will change subtly over time and may even change abruptly as well.

    As for Greywolf’s question about how to do a detailed sketch if you can’t trust a vision to begin with — no doubt you’ve seen some of my own sketches — they are very detailed to a certain degree, but they are far from perfect. If you look carefully you will see they are missing a lot of information. They contain only the data that I’ve been able to process — information I’ve come to trust — I leave out the parts I don’t trust.

    I process huge amounts of data before I pick up the pencil and begin to first sketch on paper during any given RV. So, my detailed drawings which may appear to some as being easy done as I draw them aren’t. They belie the huge amount of concentration and effort I’ve taken to process a lot of information in order to try and put some structure to the target in a drawing. What you see when I appear to be simply drawing is actually a reflection of 30-years of remote viewing experience and mental discipline, and my putting down only the information I accepted or trust to be true. I’m leaving out a ton of information from the drawing as well, I’m leaving out everything I don’t trust about what I’m processing, you just can’t see that’s what’s happening from your vantage point. You also might not see that some of what I put down might still be wrong in the details.

    and Bumblebees do fly

    Filed: Cool Psi Stuff — Joe @ 6:11 am

    {This is in response to one of the comments on the Remote Viewing Visuals thread.}

    A team of people assembled for viewing inclusive of Project manager, tasker, viewer, monitor, analyst(s), reporter(s), and client(s) - would be an exceptional rarity, even in the intelligence or scientific world. Of course that would be the ideal.

    I’m taking the time to respond to this, because I know why you’ve asked the question. It’s an appropriate and important one, although most out there should have figured it out for themselves already. By the way, your DSL won’t last very long once the pathogens have take over, because the weak link is in the first main-line generator mechanic at a critical power switching station along the American-Canadian border.

    Guess what - once I get my blind tasking, I work alone as well, 95 to 99% of the time. I might do a few weeks of lab work every now and then, but when it’s stacked up against everything else I do, it appears a weak glow worm against the room full of candles, so I don’t want to hear any bitching from the gallery about going it alone.

    I said what I said originally because I was asked specifically about the viewing and what one might “visualize,” so my intention was to respond to that - not critique the multitude of reasons why someone’s remote viewing might lack in some qualitative or quantitative way, of which this just happens to be a major one.

    You are absolutely right - there is no one you can hand it to that might figure it all out for you. And if there was - guess what - they would have had to spend years with you and have more than a passing understanding for psychology and physics, and then have spent hundreds of hours in a closed room with you for days on end aside from the remote viewing in order to give you the kind of help you are expecting from a professional support team. Or, in a preferable case, be two or three additional people, spending more than a few years with you doing the same thing. I guess I am lucky in this accord, since when I do work in a lab, the psychologist has known me for just over 25 years and the physicist has known me for closer to 30. So, they do know when I make a certain kind of scribble and call it a dog can, it’s more than likely noodles casserole with tuna fish and peas.

    But, when I’m on my own, which is usually 95-99% of the time, I have to figure that out for myself, and that usually means when I’m being televised in front of millions of people, demonstrating for magazine or newspaper writers (always free), working for law enforcement or looking for missing people which is 60% of my pro-bono work, or just winging it for my meager income. Of course there is no pressure there (please laugh along with me here, as this is supposed to be humorous.)

    Seriously, this unfortunately is the dog-assed difficult part of remote viewing which is the part that is totally un-teachable, but which everyone says they can teach and is a piece of cake. Heck, you should be able to just pick this up in a couple of days, a week at most - from almost any course out there, or at least that what most say. It’s all over the Internet. Here are some facts (straight from the laboratory - I don’t make this up):

    1. Most remote viewers cannot analyze their own remote viewing. Not because they can’t, because they spent no time learning how, and never plan to.

    2. “Almost without exception,” no remote viewer has been able to demonstrate an ability to state when they are right or wrong under controls within the lab. There are two exceptions to this statement who have been able to demonstrate this ability within our lab, but only under great difficulty.

    3. Since every human mind is different, there are probably few commonalities between the meanings of images shared among remote viewers when viewing the same target beyond the very rudimentary state. In other words, the more complex the reporting the less likely viewers reporting images will agree.

    4. If you really want to understand what you remote view, you have to learn to understand how your own mind works. That takes years of hard work. Notice I said years - not months, or weeks, or days.

    5. Once you come to consciously understand what a subconscious mental image actually means or represents in reality, your conscious mind will steal it and use it for just about anything, rendering it useless. This means the language of your subconscious that you struggle so desperately to learn is a “dynamic” language that constantly changes. It is a language that is vibrant, vigorous and active. It doesn’t wait for you to catch up. So, to be an effective and expert remote viewer, you must pursue it constantly and relentlessly, as hard today as the day you started.

    I’m repeating myself here - since my books have always said it. It’s about using feedback to try and understand one’s own mind and how it works. How and why the personal mind uses the symbols it uses. Why does it speak to itself the way it does? Why does it go around the block the way it does to deliver itself the messages? Why does it refuse to address certain issues? Why does it have no problem with certain things and so much difficulty with others? When one digs out the reasons for these problems and issues, and then solves them; when one figures out how their own mind works, and understands how their mind operates and why, they will be closer to mastering RV.

    Mastering RV isn’t about seeing some distant place and being right. It’s about cleaning out one’s own head, opening to what one needs to hear or see and providing a clear place for visual and input images or input to reside long enough to understand. It’s a form of personal self discipline. It’s a martial art of the mind. It starts and ends inside one’s head, it’s really not about RV at all.

    If one can’t discipline what’s inside themselves, then how can they control, manipulate, and understand what they are trying to perceive about something half an Earth away, or from the back side of the Moon?

    I would add one last comment. I’ve never encouraged zillions of people to become remote viewers. What I have always said is that everyone who has ever walked into our lab and been tested has shown the capacity for being psychic; albeit most were not very good. All human beings are psychic - it is part of our nature to be so. It’s the very reason I do not teach RV. Why should I teach what everyone already knows? I would be taking money under false pretenses.

    I have also stated that approximately one in two hundred have shown a propensity for being world class viewers under protocol. This we know from formal testing. The only way of knowing if you’re one of the one in two hundred is to try and remote view. If one tries and does extremely well in a natural way, then one has gotten a hit off of home plate and has started a journey that now requires learning mental self-discipline. I’ve strongly recommended against paying money to anyone for training, since all remote viewing is, is a formal protocol that can be learned in fifteen minutes from a book. Since every human being appears to be psychic anyway, all one needs is the protocol in order to be a remote viewer.

    Learning mental self-discipline is like losing weight, it is usually a long and lonely journey. It’s fun to do with a group, but it usually comes down to what one does themselves that matters, not what the group does for the person. The group is good for moral support, but little else. One will learn to discipline their self and come to understand how their own mind ticks, or they will fail. No one can take a stick and beat that into them. There simply is no “wax on, wax off” method for doing this.

    I’ve also said more than frequently, if remote viewing isn’t fun, then one shouldn’t be doing it. Mastering oneself should be both a challenge as well as healthy and fun. The added benefit, even if one becomes a reasonably average remote viewer, are the side benefits of mental discipline one will have learned, such as; being able to control pain, controlling the flow of blood to different parts of your body, controlling your body weight, controlling anger, angst, and emotions, improving the strength of the mind, bringing calm to one’s inner and outer world, and best of all, being able to provide a better example to others.

    Like watching Bumblebees fly, there’s more to RV than just describing the other side of the moon.

    Downgrading Pluto

    Filed: Secrets of the Sky — Scooter @ 1:51 pm

    A number of people have asked me what I think about Pluto’s recent demotion by the IAU from being a planet to being a “dwarf planet,” and if this will have any impact on astrology.

    I don’t think its reclassification into a dwarf planet will change the effects we’ve noted from Pluto since its discovery in the early 30s. As someone once said, a rose by any other name is still a rose! Even so, as an astrologer, I’m open to and curious about what possible changes could occur as a result, so I have great interest in watching what happens from here on.

    Regarding the question concerning what I think about the other two planets the IAU was considering, which I assume to be UB313 (Xena) and asteroid Ceres — since they’re now classified as dwarf planets, again, it will be fascinating to observe what happens. I find it interesting that both planets have feminine connotations, each one representing different ends of the feminine spectrum with UB313 nicknamed Xena after a “warrior princess,” and Ceres, which is mythologically and astrologically associated with the nurturing mother.

    Now that these celestial bodies have received recognition by the earthly astronomical “Powers That Be” in Prague at the IAU, I’m guessing we’ll see a lot more activity and hear more news about women in the military and in politics, news about certain powerful women and how they’re both warrior and mother, more focus on women’s power and position (or lack thereof) worldwide, more about the need for nurturing and feeding people worldwide, and so forth. Perhaps this heralds a time of getting back to honoring the feminine… Now, wouldn’t that be special?!
