Accuracy and Reliability
Blueprint accuracy can sometimes be achieved in remote viewing, and reliability in a series can be as high as 80 percent. Unlike card-guessing or other forced-choice experiments, more than two decades of research have shown no decline in people's remote-viewing performance over time. With practice, people become increasingly able to separate out the psychic signal from the mental noise of memory, imagination, and analysis.
Spatial Accuracy
Targets and target details as small as I millimeter can be sensed. Hella Hammid successfully described microscopic picture targets as small as one millimeter square in an experimental series at SRI in 1979. 4 She also correctly identified a silver pin and a spool of thread inside an aluminum film can.
In the 1890s, Annie Besant worked with psychic C.W. Leadbeater in an imaginative study to describe the structure of atoms. We believe that in this early research at the English Theosophical Society, Leadbeater was the first person in the world to describe the distinctive nuclear structure of the three isotopes of hydrogen. In his book Occult Chemistry, published in 1898, he wrote that he clairvoyantly saw that a given atom of hydrogen could have one, two, or three particles in its nucleus, and still be hydrogen. Isotopes had not yet been discovered by chemists. Leadbeater reported that atoms of different atomic weights could still retain their chemical identity.5
Distance Effects
Again and again we have seen that accuracy and resolution of remote-viewing targets are not sensitive to variations in distance of up to 10,000 miles. An example of such long-distance viewing is described in Chapter 2 with Djuna Davitashvili in the 1984 Moscow-to-San Francisco remote viewing.
