Approved For Release 2000/0 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) Training Stages I through VI. CRV is the process by which a person is capable of "perceiving" information concerning a site remote from him in location and/or time given only the geographic coordinates of that location. It will provide the basics that have been learned in the past three years of training. One cannot expect to learn RV simply by reading this document. CRV must be learned by doing. Terms used in this paper peculiar to the RV process are defined in appendix A.

Training is presented in these Stages. (See Figure 1) Each Stage is a natural progression, building on the information received from the previous Stage. These stages are tutored in order, with presentation of theory followed by a series of practical exercises taking a few weeks per stage. To learn to RV the trainee must do practical exercises in each Stage until a level of proficiency is reached. Only then can he proceed to the subsequent Stage.

Approved For Release 2000/ The key to the lower stages of the RV process is the recognition that the major problem in attempts to remote view is the desire to visualize the site. When the viewer attempts to visualize the site he usually stimulates memory and imagination. As the viewer becomes aware of the first few data bits, there appears to be a largely spontaneous and undisciplined attempt to extrapolate and "fill in the blanks." This is presumably driven by a need to resolve the ambiguity associated with the fragmentary nature of the emerging perception (see glossary). The result is a premature internal analysis and interpretation on the part of the remote viewer. (For example, an impression of an island is immediately interpreted as Hawaii.) This is called Analytical Overlay (AOL) (see glossary). Investigation of these overlay patterns’ by SRI-International led to the model of RV functioning shown in figure 2 SIGNAL, NOISE . of SIGNAL et FFOSPAHEHET ETOCS HEG, - e * moe , THRESHOLD fm om es me ee cere ere pon eet sn caren meme sea 7 OF AWARENESS “FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS” OVERLAYS STIMULUS STIMULUS UNCLASSIFIED . FIGURE 2 (Schematic representation of remote viewer response to CRV situation) Upon receiving the stimulus, or coordinates the psychic signal reaches the threshold of awareness, the point where the signal begins to be perceptible. When the signal impacts on this threshold it is perceived by the viewer momentarily. As this signal fades away the viewer, using the first few data bits received from the initial signal, draws on memory or imagination to "create a picture" of the site. This "picture" is created from too few data bits and consequently bears little resemblance to the actual site. This is called fill-in-the-blanks overlays on the above figure. Success in handling this complex process requires the viewer to "grab" incoming data bits while simultaneously attempting to control the overlays. Stage I and Stage II training is designed to deal with this problem. Approved For Release 200Qi0a 000400001-7

Specifically, it appears that a viewer trained in this CRV technique can be expected to exhibit a performance curve as depicted in figure 3. SPONTANEOUS “FIRST-TIME” EFFECTS ~~ DECLINE EFFECT —-— LEARNING PHASE {~ SKILL PLATEAU ESTABLISHED PERFORMANCE “MEASURE ie.g., SCORING: RATE] UNCLASSIFIED TIME ~ FIGURE 3 (Idealized performance-over-time curve) After being exposed to the basic concepts of the training program, the viewer typically exhibits a few sessions of very-high quality. This is known as the "first-time effect." This quality cannot be maintained and is followed by dropping to a very low level of performance. At this point learning begins. As learning takes place, the session quality improves. Improvement continues until a plateau is reached. When this plateau is maintained for five to six consecutive sessions it is time to commence training in the next Stage. As indicated earlier, the CRV training procedure is structured to proceed through a series of stages hypothesized to correspond to stages of increased contact with the site. These stages are tutored in order, with presentation of theory followed by a series of practical exercises taking a few weeks per stage. The viewer progresses through the stages, concentrating only on the elements to be mastered in each stage before proceeding to the next. The trainee should not be given information on stages beyond the specific stage in which he is being trained. This would challenge the trainee to progress too rapidly. Without a thorough understanding of each stage, progress into successive stages becomes very difficult. Approved For Release 2000/08 RO01000400001-7 5
Approved For Release The time required per stage is only an estimate. Training continues until the appropriate plateau is reached. The exact number of sessions is dependent on the needs of the specific viewer trainee. The quantity of sessions a trainee requires to complete a particular stage is not necessarily indicative of the his potential as a viewer. Individual differences in a trainee may impede progress in one stage while it may enhance training in other stages. In developing this CRV training program, it was found that an experienced viewer applying the proper techniques tends to contact the site in sequential stages. The contents of these stages are shown in figure 1, and the techniques employed are described below. STAGE I MAJOR GESTALT In Stage I the viewer is trained to provide a quick-reaction response to the reading of geographic coordinates by the interviewer. The coordinates are expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds when possible. The response takes the form of an immediate, primitive "squiggle" on paper. This "squiggle" is known as an ideogram. The ideogram captures the overall feeling/motion of the gestalt of the site (e.g., fluid/wavy for water). This response is kinesthetic and not visual. In Stage I visual images are noted and labeled as AOL. STAGE II SENSORY CONTACT In Stage II the viewer is trained to become sensitive to sensations associated with the site. These sensations concern sounds, smells, tastes, textures, temperatures, and energies at the site. Although colors are perceivable, Stage II signals are essentially nonvisual in nature. As in Stage I, visual images are noted and declared as AOL. STAGE III DIMENSION, MOTION, AND MOBILITY In Stages I and Il, data typically appear to emerge as fragmented data bits. In Stage III we observe the emergence of a broader concept of the site. With Stage I and II data forming a foundation, more detailed data and dimensional aspects such as length, height, and distances, begin to appear. This increased contact is known as a "widening of the aperture". At this point contact with the site appears sufficiently strengthened that the viewer begins to have an overall appreciation of the site as a whole. This is known as an "aesthetic impact". After the viewer experiences an "aesthetic impact" the urge to draw the site begins. These drawings are expressed in the form of sketches, trackers (outlines of the general configuration of the site), and additional spontaneous ideograms. The final product of Stage I through Stage III training is the recognition of the overall gestalt and physical configuration of the site.
