         REMOTE 
        VIEWING     In a classic 
        series of carefully controlled experiments at SRI International, 
        physicists Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ have shown that the human mind 
        can produce evidence of its ability to see at a distance, and also to 
        anticipate the future. 
            In their protocol one experimenter goes to a distant target, which 
        is selected randomly for him en route, and a subject in the laboratory 
        tries to describe the target scene, both orally and by sketching on 
        paper. The experimenter in the field uses a random number generator to 
        select one sealed envelope out of a group held by a controller 
        accompanying him. The selected envelope is then opened, and that target 
        becomes the target for the experiment. The targets are preselected with 
        rigorous protocol by a group not involved in the experiment. 
            In the experiment shown here, the target selected was a rather 
        unusually shaped playground merry-go-round, with handrails made of bent 
        pipes, as shown in the two photographs. The laboratory subject, in 
        addition to describing the scene verbally, made the sketches shown at 
        the right. As can be seen, the channel is noisy, but there is definitely 
        signal in it. 
            Puthoff and Targ also obtained some of the best experimental results 
        when the laboratory subject was asked to describe the scene which the 
        field team would see in the future, the target selection via random 
        number generator not yet having been made. A wide variety of subjects—including 
        persons hostile to parapsychology—were 
        used by Puthoff and Targ in their experiments, with good results. 
            Each particle of mass in our bodies represents one closure of the 
        entire universe—yielding a 
        holographic reality—and deeper 
        communication with ourselves is identical to communication with the 
        universe, including any part of it, at any distance. Furthermore, in 
        hyperspace the future and the past are all present. Since a particle 
        does indeed exhibit a four-dimensional component for 1/137 of the time, 
        each particle does connect to the future and to the past. With selective 
        tuning and kindling any part of the holographic reality is accessible.  
        However, because of the smallness of a single selective signal in the 
        midst of the totality, the channel is quite noisy.  For this reason 
        skilled psychics—persons who have been 
        found to have a greater fidelity of selective tuning—can be expected to 
        produce better results than the normal person. 
    Puthoff and Targ's results have also been successfully 
        repeated by other experimenters.  |
