The Path Less Travelled
by Alana
Personalized training with world-renowned Technical Remote Viewer Joni Dourif? How could I resist? I’ve always been a risk taker, and I figured I’m here already—what do I have to lose? By my standards, this was a win-win situation. Oh boy, was I wrong!
Concluding my training, I now know the meaning of the entire sets of acronyms I was confused about before. But beyond their meaning, I have put them to use in discovering my latent ability to decode 8 random numbers into a person, place, thing or event in the past, present or future.
How this happened was through the use of a technique derived from the original military Remote Viewing protocols, which taught me how to describe a target using colors, shapes, motion, textures, smells, temperatures, sounds and feelings. Although I still struggle with separating my imagination from true data (because I keep labeling the majority of my information as AOLs) at least now I know what an AOL is! My analytical mind is still amazed by how—without even thinking about it—I managed to produce more than one accurate sketch of a target which was represented only by 8 random numbers! Another amazing feat was how I learned how to tap into what my feelings were as if I was actually standing at the target site. I also learned how to identify other emotions which were present at the target site, but which were not my own. Furthermore, I gained knowledge how to re-position my perspective as needed to gather more specific data on any target.
![]() | Remote Viewing Terminology: AOL![]() AOL is short for Analytical OverLay. This is the analytical response of the viewer's imagination to signal line input. An AOL is usually wrong, especially in the early stages of TRV, but often does possess valid elements of the site. A mental image that is sharp, clear, and static-that is, there is no motion present in it, and in fact it appears virtually to be a mental photograph of the site-is also certainly an AOL. | |||
One of my favorite parts of the training was discovering my own optimum trajectory. Your optimum trajectory, as I understand it, is your best possible life path. According to my data, it appears that I am exactly where I’m supposed to be. It feels good to know that every choice I have made in my life, even the ones I question, have actually been choices that keep me going in the direction of my optimum path.
Joni mentioned that sometimes your optimum path may not always be the easiest one, and that’s OK. We all have challenges in our life and on our life path, but as we overcome those obstacles we learn lessons which we would not have learned otherwise. It is those lessons which shape us into who we are, and how we see the world. With each lesson we become wiser, and our selection of filters through which we look at the world expands. This is where my loss comes into play. I have lost the old view of my reality, and the old set of filters which I used to see the world through. I now have a completely new set of filters through which I see. I now perceive myself and the world differently, and am proud of myself for developing my inherent gifts, which are (for the first time ever) being fully realized. I feel as though I have peered into another world.
