Q&A's and FAQ's
The Firedocs
Remote Viewing FAQ
Over
50,000 emails have found their way into my PC over the
last three years. Here's the answer to a number of the
most common things I've found myself explaining. (This
file will grow as I get more time.) If you have a
question I never responded to, or that isn't addressed
here, send it to me via
email.
The Firedocs
Remote Viewing Overview
Here
is something of an overview on RV as a subject at large,
and my own way of addressing some common issues in the
field. Covers some common questions as well.
PJ's Guide to RV
Field Semantics
If
you're reading about RV on the internet, or listening to
the radio, there are a lot of general terms thrown about
that may not be clear to you. Or, that may mean one thing
to one group of people (like scientists) and another to
someone else (like someone selling training). Or that may
sound damn impressive but frankly, are so simple it's
funny. Here's a reference to some common phrases and
terms that are interpreted differently by different
people, and what they mean.

Q&A

back up in a day or two. -- PJ
Lyn Buchanan's old email Q&A, which is also available
on his web site. Very useful in
a number of ways, especially to those new to RV.

Manuals
The Coordinate Remote
Viewing Manual from the former U.S. Army intelligence
unit that utilized psi
Includes
cover letters and a terminology glossary. Talk about a
copyright conundrum! This document was written in 1986 by
Paul H. Smith [Major, ret.]; it was a work for hire for
the DIA, his employer. The copyright was credited on the
document to Ingo Swann, who says he had nothing to do
with it and in his opinion doesn't hold the copyright;
Swann was contracted to SRI (a think tank / lab) to
develop the methods described, which makes the methods a
work for hire and so the manual possibly the property of
SRI. Since the manual was never formally classified--and
the government cannot copyright, they can only classify
or not--it became, at the time, a document in the public
domain. And so, this manual has been used in CRV training
since that time, both in the DIA unit and in the public
sector, and is used as TRV training as well.
P>S>I and CRV
Terminology
[I
still have to reformat this for the current web site] An
online version of the 'terminology' part of Buchanan's
CRV reference manual. Long ago, Ingo Swann had asked that
others training in his methods not use his fairly unique
terms, and Buchanan obliged by replacing them with some
of his own. Nowdays that is probably not a big deal; he
teaches both versions; but for reference, here is
Buchanan's version.
RV-related How-To's
Viewer Profiling:
How-To.
Any
serious viewer keeps records of all practice sessions.
Type of data, quantity of data, accuracy of data, these
things and more are tracked (usually via database) and
correlated with Viewer development. Instructors will task
toward weakness to help development. Taskers will task
toward strengths to create a higher performance team of
Viewers for a project. The only way for you to really
know what data you tend to get--or not get, and how much
of it, and how accurate/inaccurate it is, is to do your
homework--do the paperwork--maintain a Viewer Profile.
Numbers on accuracy mean nothing without a well kept
profile. It's a time-consuming, bean-counting chore for
sure! But the keeping of a Viewer Profile is part of how
"serious Viewers" and "hobby
psychics" can be told apart.
Remote Viewing
Session Profile Sheet
Here is a standard modern (minimized from the original
military version) "Session Profile" sheet. Be
sure to read the "Viewer Profiling" article for
how-to and other info. You should be able to print this
out for use with your own sessions or in creating your
own profile database.
Remote Viewing Protocol:
Some Common Pitfalls
Finishing this up....
posting soon!
The same mistakes seem to get made over and over in this
field. Here are a few basics of "working within
protocol" that anybody with a desire to do this
right can adapt to their environment.

ERV (Extended Remote Viewing)
An
overview of RV in general, and ERV, by former RV
intelligence man Gene "Kincaid." (An alias used
in the book 'Remote Viewers' by Jim Schnabel.)

Email Lessons

somewhat more humorous and cosmic approach to theory, and

"Kincaid."
