Is TRV® Really Dangerous?
By Jeff Lucas
December 27, 2002
Recently in an internet discussion group, I encountered a debate
about "the dangers of remote viewing." Curious psi seekers and non remote viewers
were writing about how it may be wrong or dangerous
for people to have such an ability. It seems that at least once
a year we see the obligatory "be afraid of remote viewing" thread.
To prevent this rapidly rolling winter snowball from collecting more delusive mass,
let's quickly dispense with the nonsense.
Like each of our senses, the capacity to learn how to remote view is an innate
ability that all humans possess,
given to us by our creator.
Just as a hammer is a tool that can be used to make
a simple repair, build a house, or strike an innocent
person, remote viewing can be used
for both good and evil.
Every human is born with the innate ability to raise
that hammer. So does anyone make an issue of the "dangers" of hammers or attempt to ban or suppress their availability?
Should we live in fear of the hammer?
In the case of a tool, common sense tells us that for every person who
has malicious intent, there are many more who use it for good purposes. The good far outweighs the bad.
TRV is a learned skill that allows one to gather
information, direct knowledge about a target, without any filters,
without any censorship, without anyone telling you what to think about the information.
The existence of the skill of remote viewing rattles
traditional power structures, enabling the average person to answer the unanswerable
and solve the unsolvable.
Those in the business of keeping secrets find
that unsettling. It's their job to suppress the truth and keep outsiders from cracking into
their deepest held secrets. Which is why, even years after
the government admitted the existence of its remote
viewing [research] programs, the public is still continually lied
to about how effective remote viewing is, the mechanics of how
it works, and how it developed into an incredibly accurate
learned skill that anyone can learn.
Unfortunately, in this field we are constantly misled by those who knowingly (and
some unwittingly) muddy the waters with misinformation, tangling threads of truth in a complicated mass of confusion
that's harder to unravel than a knotted rope frozen in solid ice;
labeling just about anything that is psi related
"remote viewing;" mixing early failed '70's
experiments and research programs, the occult, and randomly successful
"naturals" with the true technology which was used for
over ten years in a secret unit by trained military intelligence officers.
This is the part of the program which is still classified, was not
evaluated by civilian researchers, the part you didn't hear about on "Nightline." There are those who want
you to believe that remote viewing and psi functioning is a rare "gift" that only the few possess, when in fact the
breakthrough discovery was that anyone could learn to be more successful than the best natural psychics, through
proper training in an ingenious set of protocols. That is threatening to some. That technology is what PSI TECH
brought into the public arena.
The "dangers of remote viewing" is a non issue. The real issue is that most
humans are so narrow in their perceptions
they can’t conceive of a world where human innate “psi” abilities are
developed and utilized. The initial reaction from minds less developed
about such a possibility is – fear. Remember, when Columbus first
sailed, much of the world were certain he would fall off the edge of the world.
TRV technology
simply allows a trained individual to gather information.
What you do with that knowledge or information, as in any endeavor, often requires
careful thought and personal responsibility. Please do not believe
people who want to scare you and tell you that the pursuit of knowledge is
"dangerous" and to be "afraid" of learning how to access your untapped potential.
PSI TECH was founded in 1989 by a few renegade officers in military intelligence
who wanted to make sure that the technology was preserved to benefit the future
of mankind. We continue to nurture this unique mind skill and
tirelessly advance that mission. To those few pioneers who have
stepped up to the plate, "raised that hammer," and empowered yourselves by learning TRV, you have succeeded in
becoming a part
of a great awakening of human consciousness and
we are grateful for your continued support. Happy New Year to all.

Holiday Recipes From Technical Remote Viewers
By PSI TECH Staff
December 27, 2002
PSI TECH wishes all of our readers a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. In this week's issue of The Signal Line,
we asked our staff and TRV® students
to share some of their favorite holiday recipes, from the traditional to the more exotic. Coming from different cultures and areas of the world, all
are guaranteed to excite the senses and make for very happy celebrations.
Heavenly Appetizers
 Recipe submitted by Kimberly Snow
These little packets are heavenly, and make a good accompaniment to
just about anything, or make a fabulous appetizer.
Ingredients:
One bunch large, fresh Swiss Chard leaves
One container fresh mozzarella
One package prociutto (optional)
basalmic vinegar
virgin olive oil
salt and cracked pepper
Directions:
Clean the chard leaves and cut off the thick stem. Blanch them in
boiling water, a couple of leaves at a time, for 1-2 minutes until
pliable and soft. Do not overcook! You just need to have them soft
enough that you can wrap them.
Blot them dry then place a leaf shiny side down. Take a piece of
mozzarella and wrap it with prociutto. If you are vegetarian, skip
the prociutto. Place it in the center of the leaf, splash with
basalmic vinegar and olive oil, sprinkle with cracked pepper and
salt, then roll up, tucking the sides in as you go, until you have a
little package.
I like to grill them on an open flame or bbq, using one of those
cages to hold them secure. You could also do these on a hibachi or in
the oven on broil, but the grill gives them a wonderful flavor as the
basalmic drizzles out and caramelizes. I grill them until they start
to get grill marks and the cheese inside begins to melt, maybe 7
minutes or so. You don't want to burn them.
You can serve them as an appetizer, sprinkled with a little more
olive oil and basalmic, with some grilled vegetables or brucetta, or
as an accompaniment to a complete meal.
Scallops With Forbidden Rice
Recipe submitted by Jeff Lucas
The incredible contrasts of flavors in this delicious dish will overwhelmingly satisfy your guests' palates as well as
inspire conversation about the unique appearance and history of the rarely encountered and "forbidden" ingredient.
"According to Chinese legend, this richly colored
rice was once reserved exclusively for the
Emperor. Forbidden
Rice is a whole grain rice, like brown rice, with
high amounts of iron and other nutrients.
According to Chinese medicine, black rice aids
in the circulation of the blood and is a blood
tonifier."
Ingredients
| 2 | tablespoons | dark sesame oil |
| 2 | pounds | fresh large sea scallops |
| 4 | teaspoons | soy sauce |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | sea salt |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | black pepper |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | crushed red pepper |
| 4 | cloves | garlic, crushed |
| 2 | cups | cubed fresh pineapple |
| 2 | teaspoons | grated gingerroot |
| 2 | tablespoons | water |
| 2 | teaspoons | cornstarch |
| 2 | cups | hot cooked Chinese black rice |
Fresh uncooked spinach leaves (large bunch or bag of packaged cleaned leaves)
Directions:
Cook rice according to instructions on package. Cover and set aside.
Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Add scallops, soy sauce, sea salt, pepper and garlic. Cook 5 minutes or
until scallops are opaque, stirring frequently.
Add pineapple, gingerroot and stir well. Combine
water and cornstarch then add to the scallop mixture.
Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Arrange fresh spinach leaves in a single layer radial pattern, covering surface
of each plate.
Place a bed of the cooked Chinese black rice in center of each plate (in a round
donut shaped pattern) and pour
scallop mixture on top of rice. Enjoy!
Makes 4 servings.
Jam Thumbprints
 Recipe submitted by Jordana
Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 | cups | flour |
| 1/4 | tsp | salt |
| 2/3 | cup | butter or margarine |
| 1/3 | cup | sugar |
| 2 | | egg yolks (preserve whites) |
| 1 | tsp | vanilla |
| 3/4 | cup | finely chopped walnuts |
| 1/3 | cup | jam |
Directions:
Stir together flour and salt. Beat butter for 30 seconds;
add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla, beat well.
Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Cover and chill for 1 hour. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, roll in
egg whites and then in walnuts. Place 1 inch apart on
ungreased cookie sheet. Press down centers with thumb, creating an
indentation. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 17 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack. Just before serving, fill indents with your
favorite
preserve. Makes 36.
Tip: Try Using mint jelly with these its yummy instead
of strawberry or do half and half. Walnuts are optional; if you choose
not to use them do not roll dough balls in egg whites.

TRV® Questions Answered
By Jeff Lucas
January 3, 2003
I am requesting a practical day to day schedule for a number and frequency of
practice sessions per day/week. I have a 40 hour work week, with minimal stress. Also, what would be
better, morning or evening sessions? Thanks.
Weeks 1 through 3: When learning S1-S3, ideally, 2-4 sessions a day (remember, at least 15 minutes between sessions), or 4 sessions every other day.
Week 4 and beyond: 1 session a day, or 2 sessions every two days (with at least 45 minutes between sessions).
Time of day is of no objective consideration in TRV. Avoid working when you are tired - TRV requires the viewer to be alert and attentive. As always, any other physical inclemencies will vitiate the quality of your work. Also, (particularly for beginners), remove all bright/colorful/shiny objects from your immediate direct and peripheral fields of view.
Otherwise, the bright colors will stimulate imagination and potentially steer you off course.
When time does not permit me to work for up to an hour, is it ok to go back to doing short (S1 to S3) sessions?
After you have installed the TRV skills beyond S3 there's no use to only do targets up to S3.
This is the equivalent of having learned a language enough to be adept to converse, then reverting back to pidgin or "baby talk." Remember, in TRV, the first 30 minutes of a session serves to gain the viewer closer target contact for the remaining 15 minutes where you will perceive the most accurate data.
Since I still am learning the ropes, so to speak, about TRV. I really would like to know how most people get in the
mood. Get in tune, or whatever one does to connect with the MATRIX?
It has been reported by many TRVers that using our Mind Prep CDs, just prior to a session are very helpful. But
they are not necessary. The TRV structure "gets you in the mood" (takes you into the proper state) while you are doing it.
So, just DO IT!
I know the Matrix understands the concepts of "next", "last", "present" etc. But, does the matrix understand the idea of "next Friday" ?
Great question. On Thursday I would consider tomorrow "this coming Friday" and "next Friday" next week. However, the problem here, is that "next Friday" means different Fridays to different folks. If the Friday that you want to view is "tomorrow" then just cue it "Tomorrow." If you want to TRV the "next Friday" put; "In eight days (Friday)/ ..." Put Friday in parenthesis.
It really is a misnomer to ask if "the matrix understands," because in reality it is the viewer who struggles to understand the Matrix.
So if you cued it on any Thursday wouldn't the Matrix consider it to be in the next 24 hours?
It's been my experience that the collective has no problem with "Tomorrow." However, if "next" is ambiguous in the (collective) unconscious minds of people, then you run the risk of unconscious grabbing the most interesting and/or novel Friday.
Now if you say next 7 days for example I would think that has an objective meaning. It means 7 complete rotations of the Earth on its own axis.
"Next seven Days" and "Next Week" both work for me. Sometimes, it's not exact though. If a novel,
important, or big event occurs on the 8th or 9 day after "the seven days" or "the week" then unconscious will
most likely grab that as well.
How can one be sure that there isn't always a telepathy link between the person who created the cue and a TRVer working that cue?
There is a telepathy link between the tasker and the viewer, especially if it's a long term routine between
them. However, telepathic overlay cannot proceed past the initial S3 provided the viewer is in TRV structure and keeps up a snappy pace.
When using photographic material when creating my targets, will printer quality (i.e. graininess of printed picture) affect my outcome?
Thanks! I'm excited about learning this stuff.
No, it will not. Remember you are TRVing the REMOTE SITE - not the photograph.
The photograph (if the target package is created correctly) acts only as reference material
or feedback, which is particularly important to measure your progress while you are learning the skill of TRV.
Can we declare AIs anywhere and anytime in
the session if necessary?
AI's should be declared where ever they surface and the pen briefly dropped afterwards.
AI's should only be invited at the end of S2's and when prompted in the S4 & S6 tables.
They should never be entertained. If AI's do become too prevalent at any point during a session,
take a break until they dissipate. Not even an experinced TRVer can work through a session successfully sitting on unobjectified AI's.
When in a session it's not uncommon that I will get an
idea or short visual flash that was clearly an AOL/S (that is Analytical Overlay of the Signal line.) A good example
would be when my target was a nuclear facility that had a large dome like structure central to It, I got the "flash" of a
large balloon, the type used to carry people underneath. Very similar visually to the dome structure. When doing a
balloon target I got a "flash" of the US Capitol dome. Again very similar visually, and certainly a great clue, assuming I
had the sense to know it was an AOL/S. While I'm on this subject let me
carry this one step further. When in S4 I have gotten some incredibly descriptive words of the target, that came right
out of the blue and were in fact quite cunning. Sometimes these descriptors, not only are accurate, but also carry
with them a sense of humor so to speak - delivering data in a humorous manner. Why does this occur? Thanks!
Psychic accuracy depends upon the deliberate system of moving from bite size pieces of gestalt data
to bite size pieces of specific data, so, that is why it grabs on to the gestalt (dome)
shapes first. The humor is that it has to contend with filtering through your unconscious
(not to mention, then having to use your senses and physicality as the tool for
expression.) Only you know what hides in the depths of your personal thesaurus.
Your individual library perhaps has a
wide selection of humor.

Who Can Learn
TRV® ?
By PSI TECH Staff
January 10, 2003
Technical Remote Viewers come from all walks of life. They are married, single, young, and old. Some are hardworking entrepreneurs, others are gainfully unemployed. TRV'ers are wealthy, poor, realists, and idealists. Some are aligned politically with the right, others with the left. Some have deep religious affiliations, others don't. They are die-hard vegetarians, and die-hard carnivores. Some believe that we as a species are destined for great things in the universe. Others believe we are little more than flotsam floating in a heartless void.
When the remote viewing military team was operating at Fort Meade, Maryland, a psychologist was hired and tasked to study the team and determine what the criteria was that would make the best remote viewer. They performed test after test, and when the study was through and the report submitted, it was revealed that there are no key recognizable selection criteria. The fact is, anyone can learn how to remote view.
And PSI TECH has proved that assessment again and again. PSI TECH has trained doctors, aeronautical engineers, homemakers, computer analysts, scientists, CEOs, mechanics, law enforcement professionals, agents, and small business owners. They have trained college students, professors, writers, nurses, artists and musicians. They have trained military personnel, politicians and lawyers. The point is, students of TRV are from many occupations, from all over the world, and have a myriad of interests.
In this week's issue of The Signal Line, we will highlight the personal experience of one of our students, Joel Salisbury. Joel (better known as "Rio" in the PSI TECH chat room) is a talented artist whose goal is to integrate TRV with his artwork.
Joel's watercolor paintings have won numerous honors including: First Place Award at the 1999 Masterworks, Second Premium Awards at the 1996 and
1998 New Mexico Watercolor Society Shows, and at the 1994 Albuquerque Fine Arts Gallery Show. Salisbury paints full-time, travelling throughout the
Southwest and abroad to conduct studies of his subjects. He resides near Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he also maintains his studio.
Profile Of An Artist And
TRV® Student
An Interview With Joel Salisbury
Joel, how long have you been Technical Remote Viewing?
I have been TRVing for about three years. The first sessions I have in my files date back to January, 2000.
When you first heard about TRV training, did the concept of the average person being able to learn how to consistently
access accurate psychically derived data sound impossible to you?
It didn't sound impossible. All through history the word "impossible" has been mistakenly
assigned to a myriad of things, that later proved to be possible. It is sort of a silly
word actually. If one is to apply the notion of impossibility to a concept or to an event,
it would be sensible to frame the statement in a temporal context, so as to say, "Such and such appears to be impossible at this time."
So would you say that you were convinced it was real from the start?
Or were you skeptical and ordered the course so that you could find out
for yourself whether it was real?
I explored the PSI TECH website and I had read what was available at the time related to remote viewing. From this general research it seemed clear that the U.S. government deemed remote viewing to have enough potential for information gathering to support RV research. There seemed to be no question that for nearly twenty years the protocols were applied in accessing intelligence data that was otherwise unavailable.
This is to say that yes I thought TRV was real enough. However, I did have some reservations
about whether I could learn and apply the skills necessary to remote viewing. After learning what
I could in general about the subject, I decided to invest in PSI TECH’s instructional
TRV training course to see what more I could learn by "walking the walk."
What motivated you to learn Technical Remote Viewing?
I have a wide ranging curiosity. There are many things which interested me and about which I had no practical means of learning the truth. For example, did Atlantis really exist, was there more than one shooter in the JFK assassination, and was there ever water on Mars. One can find all sorts of speculations related to topics like these, but if there was a means (and my limited research indicated TRV was such a tool) to gain any experiential insight regarding such questions…well, I really wanted to apply myself to learning and implementing those skills. I thought that if I could achieve some kind of reasonable accuracy working practice "blind targets" and after such sessions learn what the cue was to check my "aim"; then with enough experience I could explore targets that were seemingly remote in time and/or space and glean at least some useful, revealing data.
Do you remember the first blind session that you worked that convinced
you beyond any doubt that TRV technology really worked?
I do not recall if there was one specific blind session that first gave me the, "Aha! This is for real!" experience. Reflecting on it, it seems to me the personal realization that TRV truly worked came through a series of sessions, as
my skills improved. In PSI TECH’s private online
training room there was a target of the week years ago
that was “The Ark of the Covenant.” I had no idea what the target was when I did it and posted my session.
But when I found out what it was, I was amazed! I had no doubt in my mind that I was bang on the signal line (i.e. on target!)
I guess that was the session, which convinced me
it was possible to get hard evidence about things otherwise inaccessible to the physical senses.
I was amazed!
I was amazed at the TRV process.
I was able to “lock on” in the blind and describe
an unknown target, using only a set of eight random generated numbers. But
more astounding to me was
that the session left me with an inner certainty that the Ark still exists (this was another thing I had been curious about for years).
The data also indicated it is well hidden and intricately protected.
Had you ever had a previous psychic experience prior your TRV training?
Through the course of my life I have had a number of experiences
that I think were psychic in nature: I’ve had some precognitive
dreams and an 'inner voice' that seems to warn me of imminent danger.
In fact, that experience did occur one time that heads-up saved
me from great bodily harm. It is my perception that many people
have a sprinkling of these seemingly paranormal incidents in
their lives. I suspect this is more widespread than we
generally realize. I don't feel that I am a "psychic,"
but I do think we all have perceptual organs that range out
well beyond the reach of our usual physical senses and
that we are occasionally protected from harm or proffered important
information by these "PSI senses". I have found that once the subject
is opened up, many people have personal stories to share that support this model of reality.
Did the subject of psi and psychic functioning always interest you, or
had you not given it much thought prior to hearing about TRV?
I have been interested in psi and related subjects since I was about fourteen, so the topic of remote viewing was a continuation of a long standing interest. Of course the thing that differs TRV from my previous interests in psi was that TRV offered a means of learning how to remotely perceive events, people, or things. The chance to do some experiential learning was what really got me stoked about TRV.
How long did it take you to effectively master the basic and intermediate
techniques?
My recollection is that between six to nine months I felt I was getting the knack of reflexively staying in structure by that time.
Are you currently studying or do you plan on learning and pursuing TRV further?
Yes I am currently studying and gradually applying the advanced TRV techniques at TRV University. Clearly, this is a learning curve that can be pursued and refined for years. Imagine, the movement of doing a deep mind probe on an unknown person and then consider how challenging it is to thoroughly penetrate
and understand one's own subconscious mind (yes, I know no one "owns" the subconscious.) To really understand the
impulses driving another human, a TRVer might execute many sessions, each containing numerous exploratory movements. Further, it takes time and diligence to refine one's own sensibilities related to the rubrics of human psychology. The practice of TRV is certainly a discipline that can be followed and refined for a lifetime.
What do you hope to accomplish with your new skill level?
One of my aims is to dovetail TRV with my artwork. To date, this has happened mostly as a peripheral effect of my remote viewing practice. It
is my intention to apply more conscious direction in using TRV as an actual source of inspiration.
It is my hope that I will eventually be able to do paintings as a sort of Idea Template to explore
the particulars of significant targets. I feel this is already in the works on a subconscious level,
but I am still considering how to make it a conscious process. There are several pieces I have done that
I believe are product of my experience with TRV and a sort residual connection to the Matrix that continues
even when one isn't actually "in session." (I have attached some images of these TRV related works and the
Phi Pod images on my website are also of this genre.)
Have you met any other TRVers during the course of your studying the
skill, and has the interaction with them helped you in any way?
Yes I have met a several other TRVers in person and a number I know only through the chat room hosted by PSI TECH. But all in general are helpful, caring, and intelligent people. I am always learning from these people, mostly through review of their various posted sessions, although there is one person that occasionally prods me when my structure goes ragged.
Do you trade targets with the other students?
I have traded targets with several other PSI TECH TRVers.
Mostly these have been Optimum Trajectory, (i.e. Optimum Life Path)
sessions. Also, I have asked other TRVers to do blind sessions
related to how I might best integrate remote viewing with my artwork.
These sessions that others have done for me have been very helpful.
What is the most memorable TRV session you have ever worked?
A few years ago I attended a workshop sponsored by PSI TECH in Mesquite Nevada. Joni Dourif , the President of PSI TECH, monitored TRV sessions with several students as demos. I was one of the people that did a session. The cue was 'blind' to me but the other students in the workshop knew the target cue. As the session progressed I began to feel I was being thrown a curve ball, so to speak. Like there was some joke or prank being played on me. There were many emotions in the target area and I was unable to sort them out. The target was a human male and I got that he was seated in room and there were other people present. He seemed cold and calculating, like a strategist, although not malevolent or malicious.
By this time I was utterly rattled from the session, had a sense I was in two places at once, and I had reasonably sketched the room we all were in. I have to say all that rocked my sense of reality.
What was even more confusing was I had the sense that I 'knew 'the target person.' When
the target was revealed, I found out that it was me! The target was actually me as I would be on my optimum life path!
It was at around this time one of the attendees, who knew when my flight was to leave Las Vegas, mentioned that I had better leave the workshop soon if I was to catch my flight. I gathered up the pages of my session, said quick goodbyes to everyone, sprinted to the car and headed back to Las Vegas at well over the speed limit. When I relaxed enough a bit I realized that I still didn't feel like I was all in one place. When I neared the airport I looked for the map to return the rental car and discovered I had left the map at the hotel. It was dark, I was in an unfamiliar city looking for a rental car lot in a dark, deserted nether world of commercial buildings, and feeling frantic. I passed a side street and something inside me empathically said, "Stop! Turn around and go down that street." By this time I was hoping to find a pay phone so I could call for directions. I turned around and drove down the side street looking from side to side for a phone or any building that might be open. All was deserted. I went for a least a half mile like this, very frustrated and banging the steering wheel. Then on the right, mostly obscured by a tall building I saw some lights…when I could get a clear view I was shocked at what I saw. It was the rental lot! I had the sense that I was still bi-located, in the RV mindset and that was how I had found my way! I was amazed at how this had happened. That was definitely my most memorable TRV session.
Since learning TRV, have you become more aware of anything in your
everyday life or within yourself?
On the whole, since learning to TRV the world, the universe seems more mysterious and marvelous. Reality seems multidimensional and it invites exploration.
Have you told any family members or friends about TRV, and have they
been understanding and accepting of your new skill? Have any of them
learned it after being introduced to it by you?
I have told my friends and family about TRV. Some are interested enough to ask questions occasionally.
I think that the potentials of remote viewing are so far outside the perimeters of what most people consider as possible, that they don't know what to ask or say about the subject.
I've seen some of your beautiful artwork. You are very talented. How
long have you been painting and sculpting?
Thanks for the compliment. I remember spending a lot of time drawing when I was six. A neighbor noticed and gave me a ream of large yellow paper. Then I really got going. I took up oil painting at twelve and began lessons with a portrait artist about a year after that. Curiously, I had a preoccupation with drawing and painting clipper ships, from when I was in first grade all the way through high school. This was odd since I was born and spent my childhood in Colorado. I never saw the ocean until I was nineteen. All of the oil paintings I did of square riggers in high school sold right away. I guess I got it out of my system, as I have never painted another ship since I graduated from high school.
It was in 11th grade that I started trying my hand with sculpture. I get rather compulsive when I sculpt, perhaps because the body is involved in a more kinesthetic way than it is with painting. Each day I have difficulty stopping work when I have a sculpture going. It seems to be a totally engaging activity for me. I tend to be much more casual in my process regarding painting.
I went on to study fine arts in college. I continued drawing and painting some while I was in the service, but space was a big limitation. In my adult life since, interests and circumstances have gotten me into other areas of creative expression. When I first arrived in Santa Fe in 1971 I took up construction carpentry to make steady money. That led to opening a woodshop where I used to design and build furniture. After my wife and I moved out of town I got into forging architectural hardware for a time and that evolved into doing custom cutlery for about three years. Also, I taught school for a couple of years. So I have taken the scenic route in a way. But now I have traveled round the circle and returned to painting full time, excepting when projects around the house or studio require I take up a hammer or shovel.
When you are in the process of creating art, is there much left brain thinking occurring, or does it seem sometimes like you are receiving information or inspiration from an unconscious or universal source?
Often I get insights into my own process by observing my finished artwork over time. Occasionally some pieces have been a sort of precognitive statement as well, realized only after the fact, so to speak.
What is the most significant change in your life that has occurred as a
result of learning TRV?
There are two significant changes that have occurred in my life. One is that I now tend to look at so-called reality in terms of "models." What I mean by this is various models accurately describe certain aspects of experience or perception in some circumstances, but not in others. It seems an all too human inclination to grow attached to one model of how "things really are" and to deny or discard all other alternative models. The light as wave/light as particle contradiction comes to mind. In one experimental construction light can be demonstrated to behave as a wave. In another experimental apparatus light can be proved to consist of discrete particles. How can both of these seemingly contradictory states be true regarding the essential nature of light? To my knowledge, physics has not explained this conundrum. Rather, physicists adopt the wave model of light when that is appropriate, or switch, referring to the particle model if the context requires that. The point being, I am more inclined to look for models that help explain my experience and perception, rather than to attempt to forge all experience into a form that will fit into a single model that I imagine to 'explain all that is'.
Another important change has to do with becoming accustomed to living with other seeming contradictions. There is the notion in physics of "non-locality" and in mysticism it might be called the "eternal present". The nature of the concept of non-locality declares that our ideas and experience of space/time are in essence, illusory, that these two pillars of physical manifestation are not at all the absolute limitations we imagine them to be. In terms of the remote viewer's experience, space/time does not seem to limit at all! When one undertakes to learn the TRV techniques and demonstrates that it is possible to perceive an event that transpired years ago in some far place, this verifies, at least in a personal, experiential sense that non-locality supercedes our unquestioning commitment to the idea that space and time are the absolute proof of humanity as individual "particles", separated from each other and from everything in the reality field. Without the space/time discriminator the human experience seems much more like a continuous wave, or maybe even some
mobius loop. This is a contradiction that flies in the face of the testimony of our senses. This is a paradox that practitioners of TRV must learn to live with.

Technical Remote Viewing®
Overview & Company Updates
By Joni Dourif, PSI TECH President
January 31, 2003
I often get asked the question, “Now what is it that you do for
a living?” If I don’t have time to explain, I resort to saying, “I work
for a data collection company.” Then they generally
respond with, “Oh computers” and I say, “yes, we have a lot of computers” and I
leave it at that. Sometimes, it is just not in the best interest of the
moment to introduce a new mind boggling concept like TRV® - PSI TECH’s
data collection technique!
I think that people really need to want to hear about it before they
comprehend it so I am constantly repeating the same explanations and
definitions - just in different ways.
However, with the evolution of the internet and PSI TECH’s more recent
products in the market place, we have introduced new terms in our “TRV talk” -
terms that have not been clearly defined. So today I have written an overview of TRV and
some common TRV terms and I hope that there is something new or something reminded for everyone in it.
The Origin
Twenty years ago people were “born with psychic powers” or ”blessed with the gift.”
Now we don’t need to rely on the psychic abilities of others. Today, we know that psychic
functioning stems from intuition and instinct. These are innate abilities that reside in
each and every one of us. We are born with it. Very much like we are born with the ability
to speak, we are also born with the ability to foresee and intuit information. So, it’s a
natural function that can become a learned skill.
It’s difficult to understand when you have not experienced it as a skill.
However, like learning to speak a language using our vocal chords, we are also
capable of learning how to “perceive” using our intuition. We learn how to
see, hear, think, speak, and feel using our other senses. We have become so
accustom to gathering information in the world around us using our other
senses that we barely recognize we’re doing it. It has become an automatic
function. We do not need to think about how to do it. It’s autonomic.
It’s even difficult to conceive that there was a time when we could only
verbally communicate making crude noises such as grunts and screams. Whether
we crawled out of a cave or surfaced from the ocean, we have come a long way as a species.
The Skill
I foresee that there will be a day in the future of mankind when it
will be hard to conceive of life without psychic perception. Since
1990 PSI TECH has been teaching people how to develop their own
intuition as a psychic skill. It’s still difficult to comprehend that
you are able to learn how to accurately foresee events in the future
and precisely reconstruct events from the past. That’s only the beginning
because like learning the alphabet, your abilities expand with your learning.
A skilled Technical Remote Viewer can look into minds, solve crimes,
foresee futures, detect the cause of an illness, discover cures, find
missing objects and people and the list goes on. The fact is that
accurate perception is a skill and like any skill, it gets better with time and practice.
First Time Effect
I know there’s probably nothing I can say to convince the skeptical mind that
this is true. That is why we made the QuickstartTM program, so, that you can
have a taste of the TRV experience. On the other hand, there’s probably nothing
I could say to change the new-age mind into believing that this isn’t possible.
Our Quickstart works because if you follow the directions, you will
have success. But it’s not that easy. If it were, I wouldn’t be writing
this article! There is an occurrence that commonly happens with your first exposure
to TRV. We call it “first time effect.” It seems the first few times
that your mind is pushed through the TRV structure, it easily grasps the
protocols and gives you the experience of psychic success. However, this
is called “first time effect“ because it only occurs the first few times.
This initial success can be attributed to two things: one, that your
intuition already knows how to do this and two: imagination has not figured
out what’s going on and so it cannot interfere ….yet. However,
imagination is a quick learner and it grasps the process very quickly.
Imagination
Imagination has been your friend for a long time and it
will not stop doing what it has always done which is:
filling in the blanks. Unfortunately, when you activate
your intuition and begin to download psychic information,
imagination tends to interfere and thwart the data. This is
natural for it to do and so a large part of succeeding at TRV
becomes learning how to recognize the many strategies of imaginary influence.
You are literally learning how to separate out imagination from psychically derived information.
Hundredth Monkey Effect
There is another phenomenon that we have seen since the beginning of
teaching TRV. It is called the “Hundredth Monkey Effect.” It seems
that there is a collective mind that we are all a part of and if enough
of us start to do something in a certain way, then it catches on like a
domino effect; people in other lands begin doing things in that certain
way too. The initial ones struggled to learn while others just seemed to catch on. It would
be nice to just wake up one day and already know how to TRV! Perhaps, a future generation
will be so fortunate. Many from our generation have tried falling asleep in hopes of awakening
to speak a foreignn language without success. In fact, we still have to learn our own language step-by-step.
The Pioneers
You are the pioneers. You are paving the path of a new technology
that will enhance your mind and influence consciousness. The collective
consciousness of mankind cannot resist the waves of change. Like the ocean
creates and engulfs tidal waves, so will the consciousness of man finally
integrate this new skill. It is a subtle act with profound effects. The
idea of perceiving beyond your five normal senses may seem unbelievable
now, but if you master TRV, I guarantee you will be making demands for more
refined accuracy in a technique that you once didn’t believe possible!
It seems that once the TRV protocol is installed and learned properly, people
take to it like fish to water and then they forget that they once did not know how to swim.
Announcing Our New Forum Software
As you probably are aware already, we've moved to a different forums software package!
With this new setup, we hope to offer you more reliable post functions, speedier access
times, greater scalability, and overall increases in ease of use.
Over the next month we will continue to upgrade and customize these forums to
the needs of the TRV community and our students. Until then, please hang tight
through any bugs or oddities you may find, and be sure to let us know if you do! Please change your bookmarks or favorites
list to reflect the change to the URLs.
Also, if you have any requests or suggestions, send them along as well. Just send
an e-mail to webmaster@trvuniversity.com.

The Language Barrier And Technical Remote Viewing®
By Kyle A., TRV Student
February 7, 2003
A few weeks ago a fellow student asked in the TRV UniversityTM Training Forum if he should do his sessions in English or in Spanish, his native language.
I can relate to that, being from Europe, as English is not my native language either and the question focuses on a very interesting topic. So to my fellow "foreign" TRV students out there, here are my two cents.
TRV® is a structured skill that uses an innate ability in human beings for perceiving data/information independently of time and space. And as you know, TRV structure is based in the management of perceptions. In simple terms, those perceptions come to our conscious mind in the form of words, and for that we require a very essential skill. Language.
Just like TRV, the ability for sophisticated language is innate in human beings, in fact it is so innate that babies learn it by themselves (maybe someday a form of RV will be learned in such a natural way as learning how to speak is for a baby).
Of course this is only possible because we have the adequate "hardware" built in us. It is part of our genetic blueprint.
We have the brain ability to construct language, and we have the properly designed vocal cords to transmit language, and this hardware is put to use spontaneously from an early age (try teaching a monkey to recite Shakespeare and you will see what I mean by having the proper hardware).
This learned skill of language becomes integrated as an essential tool for our thinking processes. The process becomes automatic, it becomes autonomic.
When we think or speak we are not consciously thinking of the meaning and selection of each word we use or in the structure of each sentence that we build before we "think" it or say it. That would be way too slow and totally unpractical. The entire process is done on a subconscious level at a much faster speed (just imagine a horse racing commentator having to choose and structure consciously every word and sentence while he comments a race!)
So when we learn a foreign language, until we build a large enough thesaurus and until it becomes reasonably autonomic (what we call being fluent), we remain very limited because we lack the necessary words to label and express things and concepts, and also the major part of the process is done consciously very slowly.
This problem leads us to my fellow student's question. In what language should he TRV?
As every TRVer knows, high speed and cadency when going through the TRV structure is vital for a successful session. The rate at which perceptions are put into words has to be fast enough to avoid imagination and analysis creeping into the data and eventually ruining a session. The process itself, just like language, has to become autonomic. That's why in training we are told so often to practice, practice, practice, until we don't have to "think" about it. But to achieve that, as you can now easily understand, we have to be fluent in the language we're using to begin with.
So does TRV work in any language? Yes of course it does. I can attest to that.
Even though structured remote viewing was originally developed in English, there is no reason whatsoever why it wouldn't work in other languages.
In practical terms, from my 4 years experience as a TRV student at PSI TECH, my advice for those "foreigners" just starting and who desire to learn TRV in their own language, is to translate the TRV Stage 1 and Stage 2 decoding and perception lists of words in your Workbook to your native language, and use them for your TRV training. It will be very helpful in the beginning.
But what about those who wish to practice it in English? Well in this case fluency is essential for the reasons referred to before. Not only for Stage 1 and Stage 2 raw perception acquisition, but also for Stage 4 and Stage 6 where mastery of the language becomes very important for successful acquisition of higher level data.
Some start practicing TRV in English from the start, others start at a later time when they are already experienced in the TRV structure. In my case, I'm decently fluent in English (I wonder if you are understanding anything I am expounding on here) and a few months ago I have started to TRV in English also. I mainly started this for convenience purposes, as teachers and the majority of TRV students can only understand English, and translating sessions can be very time consuming, not to mention boring.
What I can share from my relative short experience with this issue is that initially it can be confusing and demand and a much higher effort in concentration. During the first sessions there's a sense of disorientation and our brain will often produce words in both languages, which demands a strong conscious effort to think in English.
The trick is not to dwell on it, not attempt to translate the words, and just write down whatever one gets no matter the language it pops out in. With time the brain will get used to it and the feeling of confusion will disappear.
Also another frustrating effect that appears initially is the drastic drop in the amount of data that surfaces, especially in S4s and S6s. This effect, very similar to what happens when a TRV student first stops using the help of the notebook list of perceptions, will go back to normal with some practice even though it never reaches exactly the same levels as when TRVing in one's native language.
This is probably also due to having a more limited vocabulary. The more words you know in English the richer will be your data. With practice one will be able to do sessions in both languages easily, just having to "switch" the mode of thinking at the beginning of a session.
Of course all sorts of other very interesting effects related to the way we perceive information and express it in a TRV session exist and have been registered throughout the years. But that is another article.

The Gift Of New Eyes
By Kimberly Snow
February 14, 2003
There have been times in my life where something so extraordinary happens that I am changed forever. These moments in my past are frozen in time, like stop-motion pictures, each memorable frame hung in my mind with such clarity that I can recall them still as if I were there.
Some of them are seemingly simple events. I am five years old. I walk through a foggy Pacific Grove cemetery on my way home from first grade, stop to pluck flowers from a fresh grave, to give to my mother. It has become my ritual. I leap atop a giant granite boulder, survey the stoic headstones, and for an instant feel a flicker of understanding, the understanding of death. Being too young to process that information, I instead feel it as fear. I am about to spring from the boulder and race home when I see her break through the fog. She is big, stands five feet high, a dun-colored doe. And from out behind her steps her newborn fawn, legs still unsure, who looks at me through wet black eyes. In the presence of new life my fear abandons me.
Some moments are deeply profound. I am a girl of thirteen. I have just come out of the bright heat into the earthy cool of a dark cathedral in Pisa, Italy. A thousand candles flicker in alcoves, and the only sound besides my breath is the occasional hushed echo of a tourist. I clutch a small see-through plastic coin purse filled with Lire to my chest, and leave my father's side to wander to the end, where a crucified man hangs bleeding. But I do not see him. My eyes are turned up to the domed ceiling where a million mosaics, no bigger than a postage stamp, have been inlayed. Luminescent gold, sapphire blue, amber, emerald green. It is a mosaic of a man I have heard about before. Sitting down with his flowing robes draped around him, his image fills up the dome, his eyes so deep I am lost in them. My heart suddenly feels as if it will burst, as though it is too small to contain what I am witnessing. He is the most beautiful man I have ever seen and my eyes well with tears at the sight of him. In a church in Pisa, at thirteen years of age, I feel God for the first time.
And then there were moments that set my life on another path from which there was no going back. I am now thirty. I have been in labor for a day and a night. My eyes closed, I feel the darkness that is pain as it manifests itself in waves beneath my lids. Feeling as if I am turned inside out, I cling to some part of me that usually lies dormant to my conscious self, a part so deep that I am certain it is the soul. Another wave passes and I am gone, in some place not in the bed, a place far more sacred, where it is just my baby and I, twisting and pulling and pushing in the dance of childbirth. Time becomes fathomless, meaningless, for it is no longer measure in seconds, but in action. And then he comes forth into the world and I am back in the room, holding in my arms the human being I had carried for nine months in my womb. I am no longer who I was before. I am a mother. And I have learned that we are both real, and unreal.
Five years ago, another event happened to me that not only altered my life path and expanded my horizons but changed my life in such a profound way that, like those moments in my past, changed the very fabric of who I am. I found Technical Remote Viewing®.
It started with a book about remote viewing that my father gave me to read. I had never heard of it before, but he and I shared interests in areas such as science, religion, mythology and metaphysics, and so I was naturally curious. Like father like daughter, we possessed a zest for knowledge, and our lives seemed to be a perpetual search for the truth and understanding about the universe and our place in it. I read the book in one day, and he then showed me radio transcripts of quest speakers who had talked about the history of remote viewing, and about a company called PSI TECH that had ushered TRV® out of the military and into the public sector.
It wasn't long before my husband and I ordered the TRV video training course and decided to try it out for ourselves. When the course arrived, we anxiously opened it and began. Following the structure, with nothing put a pen in hand and a sheet of paper, I did my first blind session. Not knowing what the target was, I drew a tall white object high up on horizontal land, with long vertical lines that stretched down from the edge of the land to the blue water. I wrote descriptions of salty, cold and fresh. On top of the tall white man made object I drew a triangle with diagonal lines come out of it.
It was time to see the cue. I anxiously opened the envelope and stared at the picture. It was a lone lighthouse on an austere cliff overlooking the sea.
It was a moment I will never forget. Some would say, "Big deal, it's a lighthouse." But the target could have been anything. Any person. Any place on earth, or off earth. And event--an assassination, a concert, a war, a wedding, an inauguration. It could have been the Eiffel tower or the Golden Gate Bridge. The Siberian desert. The odds that I drew a lighthouse and accurately perceived the raw data at the target site are probably a billion to one.
The very notion sent adrenaline coursing through my veins. My paradigms were shattered, and in one session my view of reality was forever altered.
So how has TRV effected my life? In several ways.
The first effect is that it has verified my faith. I have long believed in a higher intelligence (with the exception of that ridiculous junior year in highschool when I thought I was an atheist and wanted to be a mercenary like Christopher Walken in the Dogs of War). And I had always believed deep down inside that there was some universal plan. But the more I read, the less I seemed to know. Through TRV I began to understand what that plan is. I learned about Angels and their guidance, their role in the events of mankind. Through TRVing religious targets, I was able to verify the resurrection, and to finally know for sure that there is a God, an intelligent creator in the universe. And not just to believe it, but to actually KNOW it.
Another effect is the peace of mind it has brought me. In TRVing life after death, I was able to glimpse beyond the veil and know that something awaits us--that we do not simply snuff out at death, and that loved ones who I have lost, including my own mother, have gone to a place that we can only dream of going to one day. It has given me hope, something to strive for, a reason to be. I have some idea now what our roles are here, what the secret is, and I no longer fear my earthly end.
Still another effect has been the extreme satisfaction of knowing that any question I ask can be answered by the powers of my own mind. Now when I find myself asking, "What was that? Why did that happen? How does that work? What did that mean?" I have the tool to find the answers.
Another significant effect of TRV in my life is that it is a tool that has empowered me. People maintain power in several ways, but perhaps one of the most effective ways is by keeping secrets--coveting knowledge. Governments depend on it. Whole centuries of people have been kept ignorant because of it. It was perhaps the greatest weapon of the church in the dark ages. Corporations know how to utilize it to make millions in profits. But with TRV, no one can hold a secret from me. No doors can shut me out. No ill intentions can be hidden. No social order, religious power, no government affiliation or elite association can keep knowledge from me. And with that tool comes freedom.
TRV has also effected my life in a simpler way--it has brought me in touch with other like-minded people who share that same zest for life and learning that I do. Students of TRV are international and diverse, generally open-minded and able to adjust to new paradigms that invariably replace the old ones with this skill. Dane Spotts, CEO of PSI TECH once said it takes a new mind to see a new world. The people I have met through PSI TECH's online forums are individuals I have remained in contact with throughout my years as a student. I have found them to be intelligent and conscious, and have come to consider them my friends.
Finally, the most profound effect that TRV has had on my life is the realization that we are all interconnected. Every action, every thought, every feeling I feel is recorded in the Matrix, or what Carl Jung called the collective unconscious, of which we are all a part. We are constantly effecting its dynamic nature. I have learned that what I do literally effects everyone else. Ultimately, this may be the only way for mankind to evolve. If everyone knew that what they do has an effect on everyone else, including the ones they care about, would they be so quick to cause harm? If everyone knew that their thoughts and actions were constantly being recorded into an open library that anyone could access, how do you think they might change?
Through TRV I have learned that we are special creatures with enormous potential. From the use of this mind technology, I have been given new hope. I have been shown that there is a reason to fight for our survival. There is cause to be proud of what we can become. We are not alone. We share this universe with others who want us to succeed. Who want us to evolve and are looking out for us. I have gained the humility that comes from finding out we are mere infants in a vast universe more wondrous and more complicated than I could have ever imagined.
In this universe a plan is unfolding. A plan that we play an integral part in. Through TRV I have been given the ability to pull back the veil and see beyond to a universe that before I only caught glimpses of in those rare remarkable moments: In the eyes of the new fawn. In the eyes of the Jesus on the dome of the cathedral. In the eyes of my newborn son taking in the world for the very first time.
Through Technical Remote Viewing, I have been given new eyes from which to see a new world.
