As a viewer, you are looking for surprising and novel images that do not belong to your normal repertoire of mental images. After you have described a number of different images, it is good to make a summary of all the things you have said. Try to specify which images you feel most strongly about, and which ones are more likely from memory or imagination, or things you saw earlier in the day. That is, you must go through your notes and separate out the psychic bits from the analytical noise. The remaining collection of bits will then be your description of the target.
If you are told in advance that your target will be one of two objects that were named for you, the difficulty of describing the correct target is greatly increased, since you have a perfect mental picture of both items in your mind. To separate out the psychic bits of information from the analytic overlay (mental noise), you have to go through the bit-collecting process many times. So, we recommend that you don't do this.
After you have made your sketches and written down your impressions, your friend will show you the object. Your interviewer should review with you the correct things you saw in your description. You can then have the experience of saying, "I saw one of those, but I didn't mention it!" The rule in the remote-viewing game is that if it didn't get written on the paper, it didn't happen. So, it is important to write everything, and eventually you will learn to separate the signal from the noise.
There is no substitute for practice. If all this sounds very simple, it is. Our contribution here is to tell you how to get started, and most importantly, to give you permission to express and use your innate abilities and gifts. From two decades of experience, I have no doubt that you can do remote viewing if you follow these instructions. No secret ingredient has been omitted. We wish you success and the feelings of excitement and awe that accompany it.
After you have demonstrated for yourself that these intuitive abilities are, indeed, available, you may begin to wonder about other aspects of our nonlocal mind that can be explored. The true value of remote viewing lies in the fact that it puts us in contact with the part of our consciousness that is unbounded by distance or time. Remote viewing allows us to become
