Overview
Remote viewing is a form of extrasensory perception in which an individual, known as a “viewer,” can obtain information about a distant or unseen target using their psychic abilities. The practice of remote viewing has a long and controversial history, with some claiming that it is a legitimate psychic ability and others dismissing it as pseudoscience.
The concept of remote viewing can be traced back to ancient times when people believed in the existence of psychic abilities such as clairvoyance and telepathy. However, the modern practice of remote viewing as we know it today began in the 1970s when the US government became interested in the potential use of psychic abilities for military and intelligence purposes.
In 1972, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) initiated a top-secret program called Project Stargate to investigate the feasibility of using psychic abilities for intelligence gathering. As part of the program, military personnel and civilians were trained to use remote viewing. They attempted to gather information about distant locations, events, and objects.
The results of the Project Stargate experiments were mixed, with some viewers reporting successful remote viewing sessions and others producing less reliable or downright incorrect information. Despite this, the DIA continued to fund the program for several decades, with the CIA and other government agencies also conducting their remote viewing experiments.
In the 1990s, the US government officially ended its involvement in remote viewing research, and the practice has since been largely dismissed by the scientific community as a pseudoscience. However, some people continue to believe in the validity of remote viewing and claim to have had successful experiences with it.
Over the years, various methods and techniques have been developed for practicing remote viewing, including the Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) method developed by physicist Russell Targ and remote viewer Ingo Swann. These methods involve a structured and systematic approach to remote viewing, with the viewer using specific protocols and techniques to gather information about the target.
Despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of remote viewing, the practice has gained a significant following among people interested in psychic abilities and the paranormal. Many people claim to have had successful experiences with remote viewing, and some organizations offer training.
In conclusion, the history of remote viewing is long and controversial, with some claiming that it is a legitimate psychic ability and others dismissing it as pseudoscience. While the US government once funded research into the practice, it has since been largely abandoned by the scientific community. Despite this, some people continue to believe in the validity of remote viewing and claim to have had successful experiences with it.
