Regarding Visuals
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.

I keep having psi stuff happen from time-to-time when I’m not even thinking about psi and/or remote viewing and the times when I try I’m not sure if anything worthwhile (in a psi way) happened. Brief examples: a little while back I was driving in Atlanta and suddenly this mental picture sort of rushed in to mind’s eye. In my mind I saw a guy in a wheelchair on the street corner with several pieces of artwork around him(I was kind of like-”what was that all about?)–a few days later I was driving by that exact spot and for real I saw a guy in a wheelchair selling his own artwork! I had to stop and talk to him. Then on the other hand, recently I tried to set aside a time for quiet meditation at optimum local sidereal time–all I did was fall asleep–upon awakening, I had a hazy image of a vertical rectangle with two cords(?) coming out of the side plus Fiona Apple–it didn’t seem to feel particularly psychic to me (in other words, I didn’t feel like I had really come up with anything meaningful)–I was glad for a pleasant rested feeling, anyway.

Yup, so far there is just no pill, gadget, or magic method that will replace the lessons of years and years of practice and effort.

In 1998 I attempted RV. The target was an Elephant. While in the final stages I clearly saw an Elephant trunk as a visual picture. After reviewing what the target was it scared the crap out of me and I quit RV. I reveiwed some of my old sessions a few days ago and was truly amazed at the drawings and descriptors, they were very accurate. I have recently begun Rv again. I guess there is nothing to fear but fear itself ! I pray what results, if any, is used for good intentions and is not affected by the evil force in this world.

here`s a thought psi abilities are no big deal we all have em
here`s the secret the more balanced, whole and zen like in your focus you are the more often psi abilities will present themselves
For me I have 5 to 10 psi experiences a day
from remote viewing, to spontaneous knowing, pre cognition very intense deja and preja vu`s appiritional sightings mostly departed gurus such as osho, buddha, jesus
my favorite the blessed feminine se her daily especially in my dreams

I just got some cool feedback on a session I did almost five years ago. My mother has a friend who has suffered from multiple begnign tumors in her back for most of her adult life. This lady has frequented psychics for most of her adult lfe as well, so when Mom described my RVing to her, she asked if I would RV her future health regarding these recurring tumors. Mom described the situation to my wife, who made a target about it, and I RVed it several weeks later.
I perceived someone with what I thought was multiple localized injuries to their back and I had the sense that they would have many more back injuries in the future. I wasn’t even thinking about tumors when a thought/concept popped into my awareness: “None of them are cancerous”. And that was it. That’s all I got.
The next day, I called the lady and tried to explain the very limited info I’d perceived. She was talking for quite awhile when I abruptly asked “Did a surgeon leave something in your back when he operated on you? Like a medical instrument or piece of guaze or something?” She said no.
For years it’s kind of bothered me that I didn’t really help her. All I could tell her was that it was my impression that she would continue to suffer from the non-cancerous tumors. And I’ve always felt kind of stupid for asking about a surgeon leaving something in her body.
Then I talked to Mom recently. She told me this lady has been having intense pain near her spine where a tumor had been removed. She finally, after much bitching and insisting, convinced her doctor to have an MRI done. The result was a mass near where the tumor had been removed. When they opened her up, it turned out to be a piece of cotton that had been there for almost three years. Apparently, a surgeon left it inside her about two years after I talked with her!
Of course, I was elated at this unexpected feedback, especially after such a long time and after thinking I’d been so wrong.
But I was thinking…that information, as precognitive and accurate as it was, didn’t enter my awareness in any of the expected ways. It sure wasn’t visual, auditory, or any of the other sense-based type of psi perceptions. I just found myself suddenly blurting out the question one moment and then wondering why the next moment, lol. I wish it was always that easy.

Joe,
Experiencing plateaus in my RV learning/unlearning as expected by the research…
1. who encouraged you in the discipline of reading and writing. What books and other media do you recommend for children ages 8-15.
2. were you ever certain when in double-blind session that you were working (a)binary based target and if so how did having this edge of CERTAINTY help/hinder forward targeting as regards why some aspects of a target are more impacting/asthetically appealing/interesting to the viewer.
3. Have you ever had to deal with an anger problem as an indiviual in younger years.
Forgive me for my ignorance…
Is this related, in other words, symptomatically to the others cases of ptsd.
4. What is your personal philosophy — in a buzzword or slogan.
5. Is there such a practice as triple-blind targeting and how could feedback be delivered.

Trying to learn by protocol using pictures, and something I haven’t seen addressed (or perhaps missed) about using pictures without an “outbounder” - how does one tell if one is actually sensing the site vs. merely reading the picture (in the same way one “reads” a piece of jewelry or some other object)? It seems to be the same type of sense response or knowing, though with the lessened posibility of telepathy from the person owning the object (jewelry, etc.) and similar quality of results, we are concerned that we’re not doing RV correctly. Ideas? Appreciate it very much!

Understand what you mean by “sensing” - the whisps of knowing that drift in - but if one has, over the years, been visualizing things, does one have to “unlearn” that to be considered as doing RV? Your books seem to indicate visual responses - during OBEs & NDEs, for example - so am a bit confused by some of the discussion about “viewing” that discourages the expectation of seeing/drawing by “visual” input instead of raw data (so to speak.) Would very much appreciate clarification - thanks!
PS: looking forward to the TV show coming up!
