The trained ERV percipient is able to control, observe, and report perceptions which would otherwise he ignored or neglected fleeting images. This extension of the perceptual window is accomplished through the achievement of a discrete state of consciousness defined hy identified state dependent behaviors. These behaviors are regarded as skills which the trainee must master. The basic components of the ERV training precedure involve the trainee in learning the following skills: Skill.1 -|Ability to physically relax. | . l\Training in progressive relaxation techniques, hiofeedback, yoga, etc. Skill 2 - Ability to reduce level of physical arousal. . Training in biofeedback techniques, self-control exercises, autogenic training. Skill 3 - Ability to attenuate sensory inputs. Training in sensory isolation, concentration exercises, and “centering devices” Skill 4 - Ability to increase awareness of internal feelings and images. Training in dream recall, guided visual imagery exercises, subliminal recognition ‘drills, ‘Hemispheric Synchronization etc. Skill § ~ Ability to engaye "receptive mode/right jhemispheric functioning.” ‘Hemispheric Synchronization training, biofeedback, mode recognition, drawing classes, etc. Skill 6 —/|Ability to achieve an altered view of reality.

When the trainee demonstrates independent mastery of cach skill, he then learns to combine the skills. His goal is to simultaneously exhibit all of the learned skills thereby achieving a specified discrete state of consciousness in which the trainee is able to RV. The behavioral psychologist would call this state dependent repertoire of behaviors a subpersonality, label it as “remote viewer" and include it along with other subpersonalities (parent, spouse, athlete, office supervisor, etc.) in the individuals overall identity. From this perspective, the trained ERVer is able to RV by simply internally identifying with the “remote viewer” as easily as one becomes a parent, spouse, or athlete. ‘This feat is accomplished hy willfully identifying with a role (a learned set of state dependent behaviors) in an appropriate (socially accepted) environment.) , ‘Once the trainee is able to “become a remote viewer” by engaging learned skills, he/she fs challeyv.ged to perform under controlled conditions. This is done hy presenting the trainee with progressively complex RV tasks coupled with a reinforcement strategy designed to develop self confidence and to internalize ego state stabilizing factors. Assessment of individual RV capabilities can begin during this phase of training. For just as there are parents, spouses, athletes, and teachers with different abilities, so too are there remote viewers possessing a wide range of abilities. The general target or site categories for these progressively complex RV tasks are outlined below: Local Targets - The ERV team (interviewer and trainee) are secluded within the RV room. An outbound “beacon” individual proceeds to a selected site unknown to the ERV team. The ERV team attempt’ to describe the "heacon'’s” location. After the training session the "beacon" takes the ERV team to the site to assess the accuracy of the training session. Ny Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001000380004-7

The trainee, of course, is not provided any information about the site and must by the very nature of the problem remote view it.

Training is conducted the same as with Global Targets but general descriptive data provided by the trainee is insufficient to satisfy training objectives. Specific, significant qualitative data which would he of exploitable valve rust be reported. , Feedback requirements during ERV training are similar to those outlined for CRV training as "Classes" of CRV training. The interviewer is able to‘vary.the level of feedback depending on the trainee’s ability and needs~ The level of feedback is always based on the development of a reliable, qualified remote viewer and an effective ERV team. At times this may require that the vi interviewer know about the selected training sf{te whereas during other training sessions the interviewer may know nothing about the site. a) ~ 0 : 9 % : 3 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : aa RDP96-00788R001000380004-7 CERRET
