Proposed Guidelines for Remote Viewing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Based on our experience, we offer the following suggestions and reservations to anyone wishing to carry out remote-viewing experiments of the type we have described here: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use viewers who are open to, and even excited about, the prospect of psychic experiences. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pay attention to each viewer by giving consideration to his or her mental state at the time of the experiment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provide trial-by-trial feedback of only the correct target, and do it as soon as feasible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create trust by full disclosure, and no hidden agendas. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
Psi is a partnership, not a master/slave relationship. |

Targets should be physically and emotionally attractive, and uniquely different. No tarantulas for those who don't want to experience them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not create large target pools. Have two to four items at most. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take enough time to achieve rapport, plus ten to thirty minutes for each trial. One trial per day is plenty. One trial per week is better, to maintain seriousness of purpose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Practice allows viewers the opportunity to recognize mental noise and separate it from the psi signal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We believe that this humanistic approach, which emphasizes rapport, is what makes this remote-viewing protocol the most reliable (with the largest effect size) of the various parapsychological paradigms being examined today. We consider the maintenance of rapport among experimenters to be |
