Sometimes the viewer draws a mental blank, and does not have any pictures to describe. He says, "I close my eyes, and it's dark." In this situation, an intrepid interviewer might say something like the following: "In 45 minutes we will take you to the target site. Can you look into your future, and tell me now what you will be experiencing then?" We have found that this approach is often surprisingly successful. It corresponds to our data suggesting that psi has a nonlocal nature, and that there are no known space-time limits to psi abilities. In this case it would appear that the viewer's feedback experience is the actual source of his psi. |

Often, a viewer will say, "I see something like a fire hydrant." What he is conveying to the interviewer is that he is not seeing a fire hydrant. It is then a good time for the interviewer to ask the viewer, "What are you experiencing (or seeing) that makes you think of a fire hydrant?" The remote viewer is encouraged to sketch and write down everything he sees, even over his objections that he is not an artist, cannot sketch, etc. He may record impressions throughout, or wait until the end of the session, if intermittent drawing would distract his concentration. Since drawings tend to be more accurate than verbalizations, this is an extremely important factor for generating positive results. |

Georgia O'Keeffe, the painter, once described her approach to painting in very similar terms. She said, "It's as if my mind creates shapes that I don't know about. I can't say it any other way. I get this shape in my head, and sometimes I know what it comes from, and sometimes I don't." That is the situation experienced by a remote viewer. The process resembles that of memory: we are familiar with its use, but we don't know much about how it works. Remembering what your childhood home looked like is experientially similar to viewing it psychically. |

As a psi researcher, it was my (Russell's) good fortune to have a lovely and wise lady as my psychic accomplice. SRI's great success with Pat Price and Ingo Swann caused our government sponsors to ask us to find someone to |
