Remote Viewing Workshop:
Martial Art for the Mind
On the November 30, 1995 episode of Nightline, broadcaster Ted Koppel revealed that for almost a quarter of a century during the Cold War the
US government researched and used in intelligence collection a version of applied consciousness called remote viewing. You can think of remote
viewing as a form of disciplined extrasensory perception (ESP). It allows a person using it—a “remote viewer”—to perceive and describe
persons, places and/or events undetectable by the five physical senses because of distance or shielding— or being located in the past or future. All a remote viewer needs is to learn to use the hidden power of
his or her own mind.
In the years since the military program was declassified, remote viewing has become widely known and practiced. It has also become the focus of speculation, conspiracy theories, and fantasies that serve to smother the scientific reality that originally grounded it. This workshop, by one of the leading remote viewing teachers in the world, former military
remote viewer Major Paul H. Smith, PhD (US Army, ret.), gives a fascinating, no-nonsense, fact-based explanation of what remote viewing is and isn’t, where it came from, and how it is done. He reveals some of
the impressive real-world results the military produced, and shows what ordinary people have accomplished after being taught how to do it. As the highlight of the event, Paul will guide attendees through their own
simple remote viewing experience.
