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.

{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.

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?!

One of you writes:

is there a difference between the visuals you receive in your remote viewing input and those you receive when dreaming, daydreaming, hallucinating, or imagining? Is there a different flavor or character to them that might differentiate these visuals enough to tell them one from the other? Is there a buried clue, hint, or nugget within these RV visuals that might give them away as being significantly more important than the more run of the mill visuals that come with other subconscious entertainment? Perhaps some way that I can learn to tell them from all the rest that might enlighten me as to what is important as input and what is not?

Right from the start, this implies that “remote viewing” is about seeing the target. Now please pay attention to what I’m about to say next — it isn’t about “seeing” the target — it’s about sensing the target! At best, the most anyone will ever do is distinguish a difference between a deep shadow and a light area in a targeted area from a visual viewpoint. But, because someone way back in the history of the project decided to call what this form of perception is — remote viewing — everyone jumps right in thinking it’s all about seeing the target, which it isn’t.

Obviously, everyone is looking for a way or method of differentiating the RV input from the rest of the mental conglomeration of visual input that floods the mind while you are attempting to capture input. Well . . . unfortunately it all appears to come bubbling up from the same place, which is the subconscious - the common place of origin for all of our visual cues to what is going on deep inside our psyche.

Sorry — there isn’t any way of telling . . . except of course once in awhile when you get an input which is so absolutely real as to be beyond belief. It is usually a surprise out of left field and something you least expect which doesn’t appear to fit anything you ever could have expected to happen. It will usually be more vivid than reality itself and comes in with all the details, as though you were witnessing it just as if it were happening in reality in some special place/time. It won’t be long and drawn out, like an act in a play. It’s usually a fragment of a second, or a second and a half at most, very short and sweet, and quite stunning in its clarity and perception. So stunning in fact, the details will overwhelm you with information you can’t possibly remember. We’ve come to call this the, “Ah-ha” form of input. Is it perfectly correct all the time? No! Can you tell when it is? No!

Now, I’ve been doing RV for over thirty years and I’ve done tens of thousands of remote viewings of somewhat demanding importance, under incredible stress. In all of those RVs, I’ve experienced perhaps twelve or fifteen Ah-has, so that’s how rare they are. If you have a great deal of expectation for them they usually won’t occur; they usually happen when you least expect them.

The hardest part is reporting them. I usually do not, because the detail is so great. Most believe I have something to do with the planning or execution of the action associated with the target or the knowledge it imparts. This is especially true if you can’t provide a substantial alibi for your whereabouts at the time of the occurrence. In the case of some police problems, this can be a serious difficulty.

I regret to say that most visual input during RV is mental junk, providing only similarities to what is actually going on at the target, and one must try and interpret what the meaning of the vision actually is. The vision of a boat sailing on a placid lake usually has nothing whatsoever to do with a boat, sailing, or a smooth lake at all, but everything to do with a calm relationship between two people who are currently getting along with regards to something very emotional between them. Interpretation of what your mind is telling you is everything in RV, and it is usually not the job of the remote viewer to do the interpreting, in any event. It is someone else’s job altogether.

The remote viewer is simply there to report what they perceive and let someone else figure out what it means. Report what you perceive. Report, report, report, and when you think you’ve reported everything you can, look again and report some more. Pick it apart until there is nothing left to report. It is the remote viewer’s job to pick their perceptions apart and report what they see about the target. It is not the remote viewer’s job to try and figure out what it means. That’s someone else’s job. If you view your job as an unbiased observer in the purest sense, you will be surprised at what you will perceive and what you will observe. Bring all of your senses to bear in order to do this, and use all your talent to sense whatever you can about the target. Report whatever you have sensed about it in its purest form — the pure essence is what is critical about the target - nothing more and nothing less. The better you get at reporting this, the better you will get at being a remote viewer. Let others figure out what it might or might not be.

Remote viewing is not about viewing or seeing — it’s about sensing in the purest sense of the word.

I spent nearly 30 years of my life with the US Government. We were basically using intelligence to chase bad guys. Not just Communists, but terrorists, human smugglers, gun runners, pirates, dope shippers, and all kinds of criminals outside the country who were trying to do harm to our nation. They were also trying to do harm to other nations as well — NATO countries, Asian Countries, even some of our less fortunate Communist neighbors. When I say bad people, I’m talking about the kind of people who will chain-saw you up alive, dissolve you in a tub of acid, and dump you in a sewer, that kind of bad people. They operate or attempt to, in places where the governments aren’t strong or are just being birthed, where people are trying to learn to rule themselves, whether or not it is a socialist, democratic, republic or rule by monarchy. Most of these governments have growing problems which aren’t pretty. They include graft, lying, cheating, bribery, kidnapping, rape, stealing, murder, and all the other petty and not so petty crimes that go along with the kinds of change that take place when a country goes from bad to good.

It’s a learning process and bringing in the “law” and making it work, that is “enforcing it,” is a tough job. It’s messy and a nasty business. Not something most people volunteer for. Mistakes are made frequently, and good things frequently happen as well. But eventually good wins out and peace is made and things settle down and a new nation is born, and everyone eventually forgets how things were in the “good old days” of the nation’s birth. And so it was with our Nation, and so it is with many others. In a lot of cases, in fact, in many, they don’t even want help while they are going through that process — it interferes with the guys who are in power and early on that means they can’t skim as much off the top. So, sometimes you have to help them anyway you can.

What I find ironic, is that so many people go to so such extremes to gouge out the scabs and sores which are barely healed from the birth of their own great nation’s beginnings, and want so dearly to pick at them, even before they have allowed the concrete in their great countries foundation to solidify. They want to lay blame everywhere except where it truly belongs. For it is far more important to build their own “great history” in the beginning at the expense of other nations, than it is to accept fault for their own failings.

I spent a lot of time in the service of my country overseas in many places in the world helping to Nation-build. In many of those places today, people can walk on a sunny day without fear, and speak their minds freely and openly without recourse. A lot of good Americans died so they can do that. I now sit quietly and listen to some of these people in the exercising of their freedom of speech say a lot of nasty things about America and Americans that simply isn’t true. But they are nation-building. Right on! They are creating a history they can be proud of, albeit by perhaps forgetting what part America played in their freedom by relegating America to a darker role in it. That’s okay.

What it does point out to me, however, is the fact that I did spend all those years doing that for a lot of other people in the world, and now I sit here, retired, in my own home in Virginia, watching my own freedoms being threatened. Freedoms I risked my life to provide to those people in other lands. I now have to ask myself, if I will calmly sit here in my home and give up those very freedoms I fought so hard for, for others, and calmly let go of them without so much as a word or a whimper. I don’t think so. I think it’s time for Americans to begin to worry about and protect their rights under the Constitution. It is time to begin to think about fighting to retain those rights, even if it means fighting al-Qaida or others on our own streets. It’s time to insure whoever you are voting for in the coming election is someone you can trust to protect those rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution. If you aren’t sure, ask them outright. Make them give you an answer, or don’t vote for them. I fought overseas and was willing to die for those rights for others. So I sure as hell am not going to give them up here in my own country without a fight.
