   Straightline Remote Sensing #2

  If the mirror in the exercise of the first installment is being
  moved to another location, a picture may pop up for the viewer, for
  example a vase.

   What if there is no vase at the location where the mirror was
  pointing? What if there was a horse standing at that exact location?
  It seems that the result of the viewing must have been wrong! Right?

   False! Whatever the viewer sees, the viewer is seeing!

   If the viewer sees something different from what other people are
  seeing, then there are several possibilities to explain this
  circumstance:


     * a) The "other" people were grossly incorrect in their
       observation, or were intentionally trying to invalidate the
       viewer's perception;





     * b) A "true" viewpoint of an existing object has been seen which
       was hidden from the other observers (cp. "The Blind Men and The
       Elephants" parable in PNOHTEFTU);





     * c) The viewer saw the object(s) at the exact location, but it
       was in the past or in a future;





     * d) The viewer saw the object(s) at the exact (concurrent) time
       and location, but in a Parallel Universe;





     * e) The viewer saw the object(s) at the exact (concurrent) time
       and location, but the viewer selected a different domain of
       perception (explained in the next installment);

  Any combination of above possibilities is thinkable, and does occur
  in real life. One should also consider the following points, which
  are all accepted by "traditional" mainstream science:



     * Each and every spectator changes the events currently
       unfolding, willingly or unwillingly, by just simply observing
       them.




       This was first expressed by Heisenberg's observation, yielding
       his famous "Uncertainty Principle." Most recently, CalTech's
       scientists supposedly changed the characteristics of a laser
       beam over a distance, without any time delay involved. This
       feat, if real, is attributed
       to the "entanglement phenomenon," a "spooky action at a
       distance" (Albert Einstein).


     * If 10 people witness a car accident, there will be 10 DIFFERENT
       reports of what happened. Adding a remote viewer to the same
       will give an eleventh report.
     * A tornado starts with a seemingly insignificant micro-event.
       The new science of Chaos Theory shows, in an astounding manner,
       how creations unfold from the nervous jitter of a single
       electron. The effect that may result from even a short and
       space-limited observation of a single person can have dramatic
       impact on the events to follow. In short, it "does" make a
       difference who else (other than the remote viewer) is looking
       at an event.

  All this may even occur if the observation of the viewer was totally
  correct to begin with (which is close to impossible as it will be
  shown in the next installment of "Remote Sensing").

   This means that the first order of business should be to gain the
  confidence of accepting one's perception as what they are: one's own
  perception.

  Invalidation of one's perception is a severe aggression of one's own
  integrity. Since invalidations have happened to a person innumerable
  times in the past, it is a good idea to build up a certain level of
  confidence before even beginning with remote viewing exercises.

   In any case, it is vital to figure out what may have happened when
  a new invalidation occurred.

   In addition to all this above, the viewer's observation may have
  been distorted if:


     * f) the viewer saw a picture in his/her own memory from the
       past;





     * g) the viewer made up a picture instead of observing what's
       there (mockup)





     * i) the viewer saw a picture that SOMEONE ELSE, at the same or a
       different time/space location, was seeing;





     * j) the viewer perceived the memory of someone else;





     * l) the viewer perceived the mockup of someone else;





     * k) all of the above happened in a Parallel Universe;





     * m) all of the above happened at a different domain of
       perception (see next installment).

  After confidence in one's own perception has been restored to an
  acceptable level, the factors f thru m must be minimized.

   While remote viewing, itself, is of little interest for individual
  liberation, per se, all of the above has very much to do with it.

   It seems obvious that one should be able to look through and be
  untouched by invalidations of any kind. And it also seems essential
  that one becomes able to "see things as they are," or, since this is
  ultimately not possible, to at least come closer to a clear
  perception of unfolding events.

   Gotamo (the "Buddha") promoted the ancient techniques of
  observations of things "as they are" as the most basic tool for
  reaching spiritual liberation. "Looking through" (Pali: vi-passana)
  is a practice that is finding, very fortunately, a much wider
  audience these days.

   Most remote viewing experiments will attempt to investigate a
  pseudo-static event, such as the existence and modalities (color,
  form, etc) of a vase in a room. These are pseudo-static events that
  are error-prone because "reality" does not contain static events--
  everything is in a constant flux.

   At the time of remote viewing, a person is in a heightened state of
  awareness. In such a state, a person is dramatically more inclined
  to view things in a way that is closer to "reality," but which is
  hidden to the "common" mind. The latter is, more often than not,
  filtering existing perceptions to such a degree that abstractions
  occur which may have nothing to do with the actual observations of
  the person.

   In the "Little Purple Notebook" (PNOHTEFTU), all exercises
  emphasize viewing dynamic happenings in a continuous, rather than
  literally jumping to conclusions.

   For example, if the viewer sees a curved line, the perception
  should follow the line in a continuous, uninterrupted way. Let's say
  the line comes back to where the viewer started.

   Instead of abstracting "this is a circle," the viewer is encouraged
  to take the sequence of perceptions as they happened, and to begin
  with exploring new avenues, based on the fixed point of the curved
  line.

   The successful learning of a new skill happens through repetitive
  comparison of one's action with the emerging results.

   Therefore, instead of jumping into the stars, it is necessary to
  train one's skills of remote viewing in an environment in which
  instant feedback and gratification is possible.

   For this reason, the second exercise will still be carried out in
  the vicinity of one's current body.




  The Exercise

  "See what is in front of you by using parts of the body other than
  your eyes. Beginning at the head, select body parts in an increasing
  distance from your eyes until you can see through each of your toes
  (there should be ten of those)."

  As a sidenote, it has been scientifically shown that the nervous
  system of the body can "reroute" and reinterpret any kind of signal.
  For example, there are devices that vibrate on the skin at any
  location of the body, and the person can learn to "hear" without
  using the ears. Likewise, there has been a crude but working
  experiment in which an array of mechanical stimulators on the back
  of a human body can produce the "vision" of a signal that controls
  the stimulators. (Both phenomena seem to work only for persons who
  have learned to see or hear earlier in life.) In short, "rerouting"
  nervous signals is an established phenomenon, and originally
  independent of "remote viewing" as such.

   This exercise has a surprising side effect. It will flush out the
  so-called "prana channels" of the body. As a side effect of this
  side effect, it can prompt an opening and flushing of the so-called
  "chakras," the main energy nodes within a human body.

   In short, its application is beneficial in itself, independently of
  enhancing remote viewing skills. Its main purpose here is to loosen
  the fixation on the eyes as a "via" for visual perceptions.

   The next installment will address the different spheres or domains
  of perception itself, and will start an adventure of exploration
  into a probably unexpected part of this Universe.

   Until then, happy remote viewing!
