There have been times, during intense prayer, when I have found myself in another location in my mind’s eye, where I was able to see a tiny bit of what was happening.

That certainly is not the same thing as remote viewing, but there are similarities. I have always been fascinated by the topic, especially years ago when I learned of the government experimentation with remote viewing.

A remote viewer is a person who can “know” about things, circumstances or people, without being near them. Intuition, mental telepathy and out of body experiences are claimed to be used for remote viewing.

Around 40 years ago, Ingo Swann, was able to correctly tell the weather of specific cities as they were given to him by the researchers at  the American Society for Psychical Research in New York.

Remote viewing is not used to give “psychic readings,” “tell fortunes,” “read auras,” or other sorts of popular activities of this nature, but is rather a means of doing serious science research and for performing operational-type tasks in criminal investigations, government intelligence work, commercial applications, etc. Many who want to explore their individual human potentials also become interested in it.

While the technique was intended for practical applications, it has stirred much excitement among those interested in the paranormal and psychic world.

There are several ways to experiment with remote viewing.

The International Remote Viewing Association recommends a simple experiment.

Simply have someone place a picture of something with vibrant colors and defined shapes that would be of interest, into an envelope.

Lay the envelope on a table and sit down with paper and pen.

Next, you will need to relax and focus on the envelope.

Write down whatever thoughts or images enter your mind. Usually, the strongest images are just mental clutter. You need to zero in on the fuzzier images.

Good Luck!
