Playing Remote Viewing Games

People learning about remote viewing often have grand expectations and grand misconceptions.
They think they'll be doing incredible things--solving crimes, finding lost pets, locating buried
treasure--and it turns out that those things involve work. Seeing somebody's lost dog isn't much help,
unless you go find it, and chances are real good you'll see the dog and no landmarks. Solve a crime?
You'll probably get blamed for it. Just try explaining to the police that you know who did it, but no,
you weren't there. Things aren't set up that way. If you know who did it, chances are you're guilty
somehow--at least that's the way people see things when you know stuff for no good reason.

So, the first problem you will likely have is not being unable to remote view anything--the first
problem is finding something to do that won't get you into trouble. I had that problem at
first--acquired the ability through years of practicing things nobody else takes seriously, figured out
how to control and direct the talent, and then . . . . Hmm. I started offering my services to people,
saying, hey, I can do this, I can do that, I like to do it and I won't even charge for it, just point me at
something. Either people didn't take me seriously or somehow there'd turn out to be heavy
medication or prison involved as an implied consequence, so I gave up trying to help people in any
official capacity.

Clairvoyance isn't useless, but the things you can do that really are worthwhile don't come along
every day. In between jobs, so to speak, you have to keep in practice. I decided to play games, and
keep myself busy doing things that were educational but wouldn't do anyone any harm, especially
me.

In this respect there's a whole new level of application for remote viewing, so long as you're not afraid
to believe strange things are possible. I made it my personal project one year to experience in remote
viewing terms at least one article in every issue of National Geographic magazine, before it became
public knowledge. That means two months ahead of distribution. Sounded silly to me, too, but I do
like to travel and I thought I'd give it a shot. I even worked out a system.

I'd imagine myself in an office, standing in front of a file cabinet, and I'd pull out the drawer and take
a file out that I imagined contained the rough drafts and photos for upcoming articles of that
magazine, and I'd sort through it for something interesting. Usually I'd do this before I fell asleep at
night, and also before doing meditation. After the visualization I'd either go to sleep and pay attention
to my dreams, or I'd go into a deep meditative state and remember whatever I saw. Some very
strange things happened.

I kept having this one experience, the first month I tried this--I'd see a tent camp in the distance, on
the foothills of a mountain range, at the base of a mountain that was wide and not really all that tall.
It was high plains country, and I was flying towards it as though I was swimming on the wind. The
wind was taking me there and I was only riding. The closer I got to this place the more unexpected
detail I could see. There was lots of color, tents of all kinds and a big central sort of arena. Usually I
couldn't get very close--the contact would break off before I got there--but with practice, over a couple
of weeks I was able to get close enough to see people. They were wearing very colorful costumes,
robes and beads and feathers, and I thought it must be my imagination because people don't dress
like that now.

The last time I did this I used all the energy I had to fly up close, and as I dipped down to take a look I
saw people running for the main building, like they were afraid of me or something near me. Tents
started to blow around, stakes ripped up out of the ground, and one tent took off like a parachute and
floated up and up on the wind, then settled back down again in nearly the same place it had started
out.

I felt like I was being disruptive, and intentionally veered off, heading southwest towards open
country, and instead of coming back to where I lived and thinking, wow, that was strange, I landed
in the grass a few miles away, out in the middle of the plains. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to get
home, so I sat down there and did my meditation again. I felt a spinning sensation and a shift, and
when I opened my eyes I was back.

When the Geographic came in the mail there was an article listed on the cover about the Powwow
circuit out West, and I was glad to see that, because I'd been wanting to follow the Powwow circuit
and couldn't. The picture that opened the story was of a sprawling multi-colored tent camp at the
base of a long low mountain--the powwow celebration at Rocky Boy Reservation. Something strange
had happened there--a whirlwind had come up one day, a big one headed straight into camp, and
people went running for the main building because it was the safest place. Tents got ripped up and
thrown around, and one tent got caught by the wind and went sailing up and up like a parachute on
the whirlwind, and then settled down again like somebody had put it back. Everything I'd seen had
actually happened, just as I'd seen it.

On the other hand, more than I had seen happened. The article author spoke to an older fellow at the
powwow later that day and asked him what he thought of the whirlwind. He said, "That was no
whirlwind; that was me." Which is kind of eerie, since I felt from the beginning of all this that I was
getting some help. The wind carried me there. I'm grateful for the help.

So games can be fun, and educational, and you can learn things that you'd never know if you were
careful and planned things out first. Don't be afraid to experiment, but don't make trouble. You may
be doing real things.

Here's a link to a different sort of game, designed to exercise your psychic abilities. The IONS
program is an outgrowth of the work of Dr. Edgar Mitchell, an Apollo astronaut who became
interested in psychic human potentials because of a vision he had on the way back from a moon
mission. Play a few of these and see if you start out well, or start out badly. The more you play the
more average you'll be--remote viewing is like that as well. First impressions are important--the more
you second guess the information, the farther from the truth you'll be.

If you work really hard, you'll wind up with nothing. Remember, it's a game.
