Searching, Finding, Locating - The Shotgun Wedding Between Dowsing and
Remote Viewing

Abstract:

Doubters often ask, "Well, if remote viewing works, then why hasn't a remote viewer found Osama bin Laden?" My usual response is: "How do you know a remote viewer hasn't?" since it is quite possible a remote viewer has located bin Laden, but because of such skeptical doubters, no one has paid the necessary attention. The fact is, such questions reflect a profound misunderstanding of what remote viewing is, and what it can do. While remote viewing can be used (and often is) for the so-called "search problem" -- that is, trying to discover the location of someone or something that is missing -- it is not ideal for that specialized purpose.

Remote viewing is a descriptive process. In other words, a remote viewer can describe the setting and surroundings of a missing child, a drug-smuggling ship, a terrorist headquarters, or dangerous enemy missiles. But it is a poor choice if what you need is an address or specific geographical location for those targets. So remote viewers can find missing things...they just can't locate them. In the military remote viewing program we often encountered this problem, and over time worked out some useful methods for dealing with it, sometimes with great success. In my presentation I will talk you through the problem, and then introduce you to the solutions we developed, showing actual results straight from the CIA's own once-secret archives. I will then lead you through and illustrate methods we employed, to help you gain a first-hand understanding of the "search problem" and how it might be solved.
