THE ALPHANUMERIC ISSUE

THE ALPHANUMERIC ISSUE

REMOTE VIEWING cannot reliably produce alphanumeric information unless special protocols are employed.

Suppose the viewer locates a house where a kidnapped person is being held. The street sign will ordinarily be a blur because the street could have been named any number of different things. The viewer might be able to say that the street name is a tree and has three or four letters.

Once in a while a good projection yields a startlingly clear result: “it’s on Elm Street!” but don’t count on it.

There are various strategies that can refine the observation to narrow down the location. Simply describing the façade of the building and its relation to local landmarks may be enough.

The alphanumeric problem (i.e. the superposition of possible states) is the reason one can place attention on the numerical entry in an astronomical catalog and perceive the unique object or group of objects it refers to, but one cannot view a space object and expect to obtain its catalog number. It could have had many, so you will see a blur.

With practice it is possible to reason quite well without the use of words. It is important for a viewer to learn to do this because words are the means by which ordinary reality is sustained. Remote viewing does not function in ordinary reality, so the viewer must learn to suppress the internal dialogue.

One of the things I do with students is to place an object in a coffee can, put the lid on and put the can on a shelf across the room. When the students file in, notepads in hand, I point to the can. “Look inside this coffee can and describe what you see.”

They remote view the can in silence and everyone scribbles notes. When they are finished, each person reads his or her notes aloud. (This is psychologically important because it cures people of the fear of being wrong and helps them develop confidence in their own perceptions.)

Then the can is opened and the object is passed around and discussed.

There is a trick to being able to do this kind of viewing successfully. You will be able to examine the object at your leisure as long as you do not name it. Once you name it to yourself, you will be unable to perceive anything except that word. Whatever you saw right up to that point is all the information you will get.

Don’t believe me? Try it yourself.
