Is anyone familiar with Dr. David Morehouse & remote viewing?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

1. There's a whole website on it.

2. What kind of info are you looking for, or for what purpose?

That's a pretty broad question.

3. I guess I am wondering if anyone has any experience with

remote viewing.
I am thinking about checking into it. It seems like I keep running into the issue like maybe it is something I should look into further. I will admit it seems a little fishy, but I also feel like I am being pushed toward learning more.

6. There are several websites that include free remote viewing course

http://www.remote-viewing.com/

Do a google search for others. I'm "new" at it and haven't done any formal practice for at least a year. But when I have experimented with it at home I get good results.

Takes practice to learn how to interpret what you are "seeing", in my experience.

I should add that my mom and I experimented with "telepathy" when I was 19. She went in one room and I went in the other. She selected three objects to "beam" me. I had a pad and pencil. I would draw what I "saw"...then I would write what I thought it was.

The pictures I drew were remarkably similar to the objects she "beamed". But my guesses were off -- example, some sticks lined up in rows, inside a rectangular container. I guessed a pack of cigarettes. It was a book of matches.

Pretty much same thing has happened when I made use of online remote viewing technology. Example: I drew a fence and a flower. Photo was a green pasture and a sheep. Example: I drew candles and a lady praying. Photo was the ceiling of a cathedral.

4. I'm a little bit familiar

I've read a couple books, got a tape set. I think I read Morehouse's book but I'm not at home to check--I mix up several of the RV people, and there seem to be quite a few.

I once did a one-day workshop with Russell Targ, one of the co-founders of remote viewing at SRI, and had pretty phenomenal results in the workshop. However, I haven't duplicated that on my own.

Another site you might want to check is probablefuture.com.

5. Replying to my own post...

because I wanted to add another bit of info, but I may be breaking the rules and this one might get deleted.

I once posted in this group a report on a remote viewing experiment, but for some reason (I never could even imagine why or how), some people here thought it was mocking astrologers and got the mods to delete it.

7. that's unfortunate...wish people would not jump to conclusions so fast!

8. my brother

Admittedly, he has always had a somewhat fragile mental balance. He discovered remote viewing, took a "course" in RV in Seattle, then decided that he was going to use it to find either a vein or a cache of gold (he wouldn't clarify which) in the mountains near his home.

Now he's broke and he is telling my mother it's time to sell the house (she owns it).

Oh, and he never found the gold.

Personally, I think RV is interesting. However, I think some people (like my bro) who are susceptible to fantasies may be hurt by what RV enthusiasts claim. As well, I think that RV is limited in its approach to potentialities. Granted, I know little, and my opinion is based on the bit that I've read and that my bro has shared with me.

9. You don't typically get that kind of info from remote viewing

In my experience of reading about it, doing a couple workshops, and some experimentation, someone isn't going to get the kind of info to enable them to find a gold cache. Especially a newbie at it.

Typically the kind of information you get is some lines or shapes, maybe some textures or feelings. If you think you know what it is, you're almost certainly wrong because of AOL ("analytical overlay"). In quite a few of the most spectacular successes the CIA got, the remote viewer had no idea what they were seeing or drawing; but someone else, a technical expert, could look at the drawings and say, "Oh, that's a ...whatever." But the viewers themselves didn't know.

Some of the more experienced ones got better and more able to interpret what they saw, and one supposedly could even read documents, but that is extraordinarily rare.

I would say that it's even quite possible that your brother had the exact information about where there's gold (if there is any) but didn't know what it was. Are some line drawings part of a map, or a drawing of a natural feature where there's gold, or part of an aerial view, or the design on an urn in a nearby cave where a miner stashed his secret map, or a drawing of the exhibit next to the large gold nugget in the Gold Rush Museum in the next town? Could be any of those or a hundred other possibilities, and someone inexperienced is not likely to be able to narrow it down.

10. I know, but the RV interest fed into his prediliction

It's all just sad... No, he doesn't have any insiders info on gold - and it's not the first time he's tried to find gold either. Many years ago he spent many a long summer's day in the desert with a metal detector trying to find the Lost Dutchman Mine. This year, he was also using RV to determine lottery numbers.

I do think RV is interesting and not without merit. However, I think that those with a knack for fantasy, like my brother, are susceptible to seeing things (pun not intended) in RV that simply aren't there.

11. experience with remote viewing

Years ago a cyber-friend I met on another forum wanted to try it. She would set up projects for me and ask me to set them up for her, too.

Of all the psychic things out there, I am probably least excited about remote viewing but I did collaborate on these projects.

She would, for example, say, "Describe my office." I would write out a description of her office and then she would mail me a picture to show me how close I'd come.

I read a book about our government's venture into remote viewing. Can't think of the name of it now but when I do, I'll post back. Like many of our government's forays, it ends up with people being used and taken advantage of. Still, the book gave me a good idea for just how effective it can be (very effective).
