although some things about the answer are known. For example, the data for more than a hundred years of psi research show that there is no significant decline in the accuracy of any kind of ESP with increasing distance between the viewer and the object viewed.
2 We also know it is no more difficult to look a short distance into the future, than it is to describe a present-time hidden target. Our SRI data supporting these two assertions is very strong and convincing. We can conclude from this that it is very unlikely that any kind of electromagnetic field is involved in carrying psi signals. That can be concluded because the very geometry of our three-dimensional space requires that signal strength decreases as you get farther from the source. In fact, the signal decreases in proportion to the square of the distance. That is, the radio signal you receive at ten miles' distance is 100 times weaker than the signal you pick up at one mile. At 10,000 miles' distance, such as in our Moscow-to-San Francisco experiments, the radio signal would be 100 million times weaker than one mile away. However, we do not see the slightest evidence of such a distance-related decrease in psi ability. Although the popular model for ESP involves some kind of mental radio, in which my mind "sends a signal" to your mind, we believe that this model is probably not correct. |

Instead of signals being sent, the data suggest that the desired information is always present and available. In remote viewing as well as healing, the agent's focused intention calls the information forth. Both the healer and the remote viewer act as messengers. In remote viewing, the viewer translates impressions of the information into drawings and verbal concepts. In psychic healing, the healer interprets impressions from the patient and converts them into clairvoyant diagnoses and energy-manipulating actions to remedy a problem in the patient's body. In spiritual healing, the healer acts as a conduit to the patient of healing information from the community of spirit in which we all reside. The healer makes no translation of the healing template accessed from the nonlocal connection, which stimulates the patient's cells to reorganize themselves into a healthy, coherent pattern. |

To paraphrase the distinguished physicist John Archibald Wheeler, we would say that the answer to the mechanism of psychic abilities will be |
