In the experiment, we received no feedback after each viewing, but had to wait for Hal's return to find out where he had been when each of the viewings was done. This is a difficult mode of operation, because a viewer likes to clean his mental slate, and usually needs to reach closure of one experiment before starting the next. However, this trial clearly showed that even an inexperienced physicist could function psychically if he is strongly motivated, and if the necessity level is high enough. Since that time hundreds of remote-viewing trials have been carried out successfully by dozens of other inexperienced people from all over the world evidence that the nonlocal mind exists in all of us. |

In her 1995 report, prepared at the request of the CIA for an evaluation of the remote-viewing work conducted over the past two decades, statistics professor and textbook author Dr. Jessica Utts concluded the following: |

Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Argument that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude to those found in government-sponsored research at SRI and SAIC have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot readily be explained by claims of flaws or fraud. [Emphasis added.]

Vision is not the only sensory modality available to psi. We recently had an almost purely telepathic demonstration in our informal psi research group. We were discussing the extent to which psi was a memory-like phenomenon, and our host, Dr. Dean Brown, said it interested him that people can instantly tell if they have ever heard a word or name before. How can we search the entire contents of our memory so fast? "For example," he said, "Who knows what 'churk' means?" Five of us held up our hands. He protested, "How could you know what it means? I just made up the word!" |

The surprising explanation was that five of us (not including Dr. Brown) had just eaten dinner at a Cuban restaurant. The waitress had told |
