A concise definition: "Remote Viewing is a scientifically structured protocol that allows a perceiver to describe details about a target that is hidden from physical view."
For a deeper look into the history and military origins, read our guide: What is Remote Viewing?
Remote Viewing requires minimal equipment but maximum focus:
A simple stack of white paper and a black pen. You can upload photos of your session pages directly into DeepSight for safe keeping.
A tablet with a stylus. DeepSight features a built-in Session Canvas designed specifically for digital viewing, allowing you to sketch ideograms and manage layers without leaving the app.
Regardless of your tools, you need a target you have never seen. DeepSight provides a pool of hundreds of blind targets (identified only by random coordinates) so you can practice immediately.
While the core protocol remains the same, different schools of thought have evolved. Here are three popular methods:
The original military structure developed by Ingo Swann. Highly rigid and stage-based.
A streamlined, modern derivative created and popularised by the Farsight Institute.
A more fluid, free-flowing approach with very little structure. Very focused on sketching and the use of colours. Created by Birdie Jaworski.
DeepSight is built to enforce these three critical rules automatically:
You must know nothing about the target. DeepSight hides all target details behind a random coordinate tag (e.g. '6BZ / 1A2') until you submit your work.
Your goal is to describe sensory data (colours, textures, shapes, smells, sounds), not to name the object (e.g. 'I think it's a cat'). Naming leads to guessing.
Your logical brain will try to guess the target. This is called AOL. You must recognise it, write it down to 'discard' it, and return to the signal.
A quick, reflex-like squiggle drawn immediately after writing the coordinate. It captures the "gestalt" or energy of the target (e.g. land, water, structure, subject).
Touching the ideogram with your pen to decode basic sensory impressions: "Hard... Smooth... Cool... Red".
Set your intent that the descriptor will come to you the moment you probe the ideogram with your pen. Write down the very first thing that comes to your mind or senses. Do not judge it, do not contemplate it, just write it down. The true signal (especially for beginners) is often very subtle, fuzzy and fleeting. If you get a strong signal or image come to mind, it is usually a sign of AOL and should be marked as such. Often the quicker more subtle impression was more accurate; however, this comes with practice, as you experiment and come to better recognise the signal.
To give yourself the best chance of success, meditating for at least 20 minutes before a session can help clear your mind and help you recognise the signal from other thoughts, imagination, and mental noise. DeepSight provides a cooldown timer to help you prepare for your session.
