   Straightline Remote Sensing #3

   Entering The Abyss

  Beings, having lost their memories of their origin and yet,
  paradoxically, yearning for their return at the same time, will
  attach to anything that will help them to create the illusion of a
  "home."

   They will avoid, ignore, deny, and reject anything that has the
  potential to trigger even a subtle reminder that their current,
  perpetually created illusion of "home" is nothing but a self-made
  prison, a web of silly lies, a house of cards that will fall apart
  at the slightest tug at its shaky foundations.

   In this remote part of the Milky Way, many Beings find their
  artificial home in bipedal mammals with a rather short life span of
  rarely more than a hundred Earth years. Equipped with two frontal
  lenses and two lateral resonance chambers, the organism of the
  mammal provides enough visual and auditory cues to allow for a crude
  spatial orientation in its immediate local environment. Even though
  the limits and restrictions of perception, via humanoid bodies,
  offer the safe boundaries of a placebo home, the unnatural small
  focus of the mammal becomes somewhat irritating for many and they
  start looking around for ways to transcend these limitations.

   Being profoundly scared of looking too closely at the exact
  mechanism of perceptions, because that could remind them of their
  loss of their original "home", they rather marginally extend the
  abilities of their mammal bodies by mechanical, optical, and,
  recently, with electronic tricks.

   For example, if one of these Beings looks through the two eyes of
  the mammal it happens to hold onto frantically, it may conclude that
  "it is" at the foothill of a mountain. To look out from the top of
  the mountain, all the Being would have to do is to look out from the
  top of the mountain.

   But, NOOOO!, the Being is so hypnotized by the mammal's vision
  instruments that it is thoroughly convinced it cannot have another
  perception concurrent to the ones from the mammal.

   It would not want to let go of the mammal, either, in order to have
  a look from the top of the mountain, because this would, of course,
  break its illusion of its current identity. Even worse, another
  Being could snatch up the body in the short moment the Being would
  not be glued to it. What a dreadful thought!!!

   The obvious (!!???) solution is this: move the body of the mammal
  to the top of the mountain and then look through its two eyes over
  the landscape. Never mind that this is a real drag, literally,
  especially since the body has to be moved back into its own proper
  "home" down in the valley to join the herds of the other mammals.

   More recently, the idea is to build systems of mirrors, lenses, and
  automatic picture copying devices to redirect a visual copy of the
  original view from the top of the mountain directly to the front of
  the mammal's body where it can then safely stare at a cheap 2D copy.

   Now, enough of this. What happens if a Being gets all its courage
  together, says to itself, "to hell with this all," and starts
  LOOKING without the eyes of the mammal?

   The vision of a mammal is a reflection of a tiny sliver of the
  information that is out there and that could be perceived. It is
  like a radio dial that is stuck in one position, which forces the
  Being to listen to just one station only. With an ingenious trick of
  its mind, the Being convinces itself that this position on the radio
  dial is the only one that receives any station and, to justify its
  mad decision, the Being will fight any other opinion to any possible
  extent. If necessary, the Being may even direct its own mammal to
  crush the head of another mammal.

   Now, if the Being is turning on the radio dial of its perceptions,
  it may happen that the new information is so overwhelming that it
  quickly abandons it and finds comfort in the stuck, but familiar,
  position of the dial again. The different "radio stations" are an
  analogy to the different "domains of perceptions." They are not just
  different sources of similar information, like the tunes from the
  "Classic Rock" radio station are minimally different from the "Rock
  from the 60's" station - no, they are farther apart than opera and
  Oprah.

  What's worse, there is an annoying gap in between the stations or
  domains of perception. Before the perception of another domain can
  be received, this terrible gap must be passed through on the dial.
  This circumstance was apparently known for a long time in human
  history. The Latin word for this gap was "Chaos," derived from the
  Classic Greek word "chainein"("to yawn, gape").

   In a semantic twist that makes one wonder about the development of
  human abilities in the last millennia, chaos now stands for
  "confusion" and "disorder." However, originally it just referred to
  the emptiness of the gap in between domains of life and,
  consequently, the domains of perception.

   Now, a lot of smart people make a sport of it. They watch the
  "emptiness," "nothingness," "voidness" just for the fun of it. Some
  go even further and proclaim that this is the "true nature" of
  Beings, a frightening joke, that is. For lack of self-confidence
  they certainly don't admit that this is their own mental creation
  and they pronounce it to be the miraculous revelation of a
  super-human such as a "Buddha," in total disregard of Gotamo
  Siddharto's own lengthy refutation of this very claim in his own
  times.

   It seems certain, though, that the "chaos" or "abyss" between the
  radio stations of the Universe must be crossed somehow.

   In addition to the frightening perspective of "nothingness," there
  is another phenomenon that comes, actually, very close to today's
  concept of chaos: if the dial moves out from the void into the range
  of a "station," the signal is very distorted just prior to the
  correct tuning of the selected domain. There now, is truly disorder,
  random movements, lack of stable reference points, confusion.

   The Being is not likely to get paralyzed by disordered states as it
  shunts them like the devil. The domain borders are therefore less of
  a problem than the potentially hypnotic effect of the "nothingness,"
  the "chaos" in its original sense.

   Let us dive into the abyss then, plunge into the chaos to cross to
  the other domains, let's swim through the abyss.

   But which one first?

   The natural tendency of Beings is to expand their perceptions and
  their sphere of influence. After their fall, they have tried for so
  long and so hard that they are now thoroughly convinced that they
  can't reach for the stars.

   It is much easier to go the other way, however, and this is the
  Third Exercises in Straightline Remote Sensing.


  "See your own body (the bi-pedal mammal) grow larger and larger,
  from room-size to the size of a sky scraper, the size of Earth, the
  size of the Milky Way."

   At a certain point in this exercise, a floating sensation may arise
  with pieces drifting by left and right, not dissimilar to the
  opening screen of a Star Trek episode. This is called "entering the
  abyss."

   If the shrinking of one's own size is maintained long enough, one
  can re-surface "on the other side": emptiness becomes the
  all-everything. If the shrinking rate is reduced, the possibility of
  zooming or tuning into another domain arises.

   From the foregoing, it becomes clear that the approach to achieve
  Remote Viewing or "Sensing" as described here is quite different
  from other techniques that go under the same heading. For example,
  the techniques of the Far Sight Institute (www.farsight.org) use
  another domain of nature, the collection of Phi entities as it is
  sometimes called, to tunnel through to another location of the same
  reality that the "viewer" is located in. In other words, the
  "viewer" doesn't view-- directly-- but rather relies on the
  information packages that are messengered through another domain by
  Beings from another domain.

  To eliminate a confusion between the two approaches, the techniques
  described here are being called Straightline Remote Sensing rather
  than just Remote Viewing.

   In the course of engaging into viewing of either approach, the
  viewer will encounter phenomena of both. For example, the diver into
  the abyss will meet the helpful helper of the Phi domain sooner or
  later. And the domain tunnel expert may find himself hitting a
  different domain or a concurrent perception inadvertently.

   Equipped with the experiences from the first exercises, we will be
  able to engage in retrieving perceptions from concurrent and remote
  event spaces within our currently selected domain, the amazing world
  of the bipedal mammals known as humans.

   This will then be the fourth installment of the Exercises in
  Straightline Remote Sensing.

   Until then, happy remote viewing!
