What is Remote Viewing and
Why Remote Viewers Abhor Being
Referred to as “Psychics”

by Joni Dourif

“Lay back and tell me what you see,” says the psychic.
“Move fast and stay in structure,” says the remote viewer.

One is passive and the other is active.

The Remote Viewer actively participates, using a pen, paper and a specific recipe, which allows for passive information to accumulate. The breakthrough discovery occurred when it was realized that by using this conscious processing system (called TRV) an alert mind could manage its mental attention to access direct knowledge - accurate information on a consistent basis and we don't even have to believe that it works. It will work despite our disbelief!

Sounds dry? It is dry and simple.

People have traditionally romanticized psychic experiences and made the unknown mysterious. Remote Viewing wrecks all that fun. We cut right to the chase and make a point of striving for accuracy and consistency. Remote Viewers learn the specific protocols and then they work to accomplish increasingly better results. Like any skill, the more we do it the better we get at it.

Sound like work?
It requires effort and discipline but Remote Viewers end up loving the work.

There’s nothing else like it out there.
There is not an accurate comparison for Remote Viewing.
Professional remote viewers shy away from calling it “an experience” because there is nothing else like it. People who do not know better, cut and paste other psychic practices on the term “Remote Viewing”. The fact is that there is not a comparable descriptor. Remote Viewing is not like automatic writing, channeling, out of body experiences (OBE’s) or astral projection. It is not lucid dreaming or playing with Ouija boards or tarot cards. Remote Viewing is a trained skill, similar to language. Everybody has the innate ability and anybody who puts in the time and effort, can learn it. Once upon a time man could only make noise and grunt - now we talk and communicate in a refined way and think nothing of it.

Many psychics who have become known by sticking the sign “Psychic” on their door do not like the idea of Remote Viewing. We have destroyed their specialty. We have yanked the pedestal out from under them and obliterated their mysterious unique ability. Now, it’s not only “the gifted ones” who get to enjoy the power of their mind. A trained Remote Viewer is more consistently accurate than the world's best untrained psychics. And we just keep getting better. Our boundaries see no limits. The longer a remote viewer sticks with it - the more amazed and astounded he or she becomes.

The world becomes an infinitely more interesting place and life becomes more intriguing. Discoveries that were once only vague guesses or chosen beliefs may become realities or falsehoods under the scrutiny of a practiced remote viewer. The remote viewing protocol naturally teaches our mind to recognize imagination from direct knowledge. Our minds learn to scrutinize information and separate out accurate data from imaginary information. We become naturally more in tuned with what’s real in the world and in our lives, and our possibilities multiply as our horizons expand.

Does it sound to good to be true? Too unbelievable to be real? Remember, that not that long ago being able to travel and fly or communicate via the airwaves was considered a fantasy and impossible. Most people did not believe it possible until they repeatedly witnessed it. Today generations of people exist who have never known a world without phones and planes.

Someday Remote Viewing will be integrated that way. A generation will be born who will instantly know truth from fantasy and it won't just be a fleeting instinct - they will know. Knowledge will be an experience as real as touch, sight, sound and taste.

Isn't that how we are supposed to be?

So, even if you choose to wait and see about this technology - the next time you hear a person spout “I've been remote viewing my whole life” ..pinch yourself.. to remind you that you’re still in the past, but pat yourself because you are already way ahead of the pack.

The future is yours by making more of the present.

The True History of Remote Viewing As It’s Never Been Told Before: Not a week goes by that I don't have to correct someone about PSI TECH's background and the truth about remote viewing history. Historical facts may seem silly and trite to those of us who have been TRV practitioners for many years, but as time goes by, people forget what it took to bring this remarkable technology out of the confines of the military and into public awareness.

Live TRV Demonstration Session: Remote Viewer, Joni Dourif, describes the cause of a LAPD helicopter crash while we watched in amazement! She had no idea what the target was. She was only given 8 numbers. Watch the video & see yourself!

The Matrix Simplified: Over one hundred years ago, world renowned Swiss Psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Jung developed a theory about a giant library that he called "the Collective Unconscious." But how did he discover this?

TRV, THC And So Much More: Over the years since 1993 when PSI TECH began teaching people from all walks of life the skill of Technical Remote Viewing, we discovered one pronounced symptom that displayed itself in different students.

History Helped Shape The Future of Remote Viewing: I would like to revisit the history and the public perception of Remote Viewing. It all began between the years of 1982 and 1983 while a prominent psychic who was working with a world-renowned physicist realized a breakthrough discovery in psychic phenomenon.

How Optimum Trajectories Can Affect One's Future: We can live our lives following our "current trajectories," not ever realizing that an alternate, more fulfilling life could be obtained as simply as "just a slight step to the side." Optimizing our lives certainly is not a new concept to western culture.

My Last "I Bet You Can't Remote View it" Bet!: The day my wife Nora lost her small medication bottle, and Joni said she could easily "remote view" the location, I laughed and doubted her. In fact, I bet her that she could not do it!

Learning TRV at Home: In this week's issue of The Signal Line, Joni Dourif answers a frequently asked question about Technical Remote Viewing training. Is learning in a classroom preferable to to learning at home via a video training course?

The Real X-Files: A PSI TECH Technical Remote Viewing project constitutes a research or study that is conducted by PSI TECH trained remote viewers who exclusively employ the TRV technology. The project's goal is to gather information about a particular person, place, thing or event in the past, present or future.

The Gift Of The Magic Wand: I get emails and letters almost daily from people who have psychic experiences and want to make some sense of them. Many who write me feel they have a special gift that they wish to find out more about.

The Myth, The Fad and The Frauds - Exposing the truth about "Remote Viewing": This article is long overdue and I have secretly hoped that it would never need to be written. However, I am witnessing the pollution and possible destruction of a very valuable technology. I am speaking about the breakthrough discovery of a scientifically repeatable set of remote viewing protocols..

How to Win with Remote Viewing: Give your Crystal Balls & Pendulums a Rest - Skilled Intuition is the New Progress of Human Evolution!: We often compare learning remote viewing to learning martial arts because we train our psi muscle to contribute consciously and in harmony with all of our other senses: It's the missing link Bruce Lee was looking for.

Remote Viewing "Blind" Versus "Front-Loaded": Technical Remote Viewers begin their TRV training with "blind" targets. Remote Viewing "blind" means that the remote viewer has absolutely no information about the target. He or she only receives eight digits which we call Target Reference Numbers TRN's in TRV lingo.

Technical Remote Viewing Applications: What Can TRV Do For Me?: When our students learn Technical Remote Viewing and realize how effective the technology is, one of their most commonly asked questions is, "How can I incorporate this skill into my every day life?"

TRV Project Updates: In this week's issue of "The Signal Line", we present updates on several current TRV projects, including the D.C. Sniper case, North Korean nuclear weapons, and the Elizabeth Smart case.

What is a Technical Remote Viewing Project?: Over the last twelve years PSI TECH has been the subject of four books, three documentaries and numerous television and radio interviews. I thought it might be useful in this article to explain how a TRV "remote viewing" project comes about and how PSI TECH employs its resources and skill to conduct it.
