Paul H. Smith on the A&E program, "The Unexplained"

Question:

When Paul Smith was on the A&E program, he totally blew the target.
What went wrong?

Answer:

Alas and alack, Paul Smith (one of the best former remote viewers in this country) did not think before acting. Paul -- and especially Edwin May!! -- should have known better than to engage in that particular RV demonstration session for the A&E Network. Refer to my lecture on Beaconing, in Module 1.0, and it will immediately become apparent to you what went wrong:

Consider the viewer's intent during 'beaconing.' At a preappointed time, the viewer is required to describe and sketch the scene at the beacon's location, essentially 'seeing' through the beacon's eyes, attempting to acquire information via TELEPATHY, i.e., through a direct psychic connection with the outbound person.

In REMOTE VIEWING, the viewer is connecting with the collective unconscious, turning (tuning) personal unconscious attention to a target -- the way the target exists in the Matrix field -- as an information pattern.

So, in essence, Paul Smith mixed beaconing procedures with remote viewing protocols! Is it any wonder, then, (to a TRVer) why he ended up in terra incognito, scratching his head?

At any rate, here is the cue that Paul should have employed:

[(person's name or designation)/present location]

Simple. You just have to know what you are doing. Pass it along to Paul Smith and Dr. May that these are the 90's. In this business, it is not good enough just to be a proficient remote viewer. We must have at least a general understanding and appreciation of the inherent mechanics that drive this conscious-unconscious dynamic called "remote viewing," lest we fall flat on our faces when put to the test.

Ed: I have been in contact with a research institute in Durham, N.C. that is conducting testing of individuals for a trv team. I was interested in this and Tomorrow they will put me in a controlled environment and observe me as I trv a blind target. It should be a great Opportunity to see trv skills at work. I have two other tests scheduled after this one. If I satisfactorily complete the three tests I will be asked to join the trv team. They are using the protocols that Edwin May put into place. Do you have any instructions or last minute advice that you would like to share before I take the test

Yes. Check out my comment about Ed May, in the News section (re. why Paul Smith failed to nail his target). Ed May does not know how to correctly cue (set up) a targeting package. Unless you instruct him in proper TRV cuing, all of your best TRV efforts will be for naught.
Ed

P.S. -- Dr. Edwin May was not happy with the fact that his chief 'lab rat' (Ingo Swann) came up with a successful set of protocols -- instead of the researchers, themselves. He tried very hard to establish his own RV 'systems' -- but all had built in failure points. He is still (stubbornly) trying to 'reinvent the wheel.' (A number of years ago, between grant money, he inquired about a job at PSI TECH).

Ed: I took the TRV test and bull's eyed the target. They use a computer to randomly select about 100 targets. The instructor sat in the room and gave me a stack of blank paper. He told me to draw whatever came to mind, then to list any sensations. It was not structured like your training methods. Although it was just an open test without any protocols I have to say going in blind if I had not trained with the tapes I would have been utterly lost. Just imagine being asked to remote view what ever comes to your mind and try to figure that out without any structure? I asked the instructor if it was okay to use the method I was taught and he said okay. I started in stage 1 and right off the bat the ideogram was correct. I picked up far distance, mountains, nice weather, a huge drop off. Then when I listed sensations and smells those were correct. I did find that when I though of something and I believed it to be an AOL I labeled it as such. Turns out the ones I labeled as AOL were AOL's. Well after the test we went to the computer in a locked room and brought up the image. Sure enough even my final drawings were astonishingly accurate. When I drew the finals with a mountain range in the background and labeled the locations of all the ideogram probing I was stunned on how accurate it was. It was lots of fun and even the instructor was impressed. I go back for round two blind target next friday. It will be great to see how well I do on it. So far so good. Thanks for the advice. By the way they are testing people up front to determine who would be good candidates for a remote viewing team. I bet I make it with flying colors. I am anxious to see if they train the team in any protocols. It seems they have been in the parapsychology business since 1965. They were once part of Duke University until the Professor moved it off site. I will keep you posted on my progress.

1. Do not lower yourself to their protocol standards. TRV is 15 years ahead of their knowledge base -- they are way behind the power curve. Remember, a pressing need to develop RV into an effective (military operations support) 'applied' tool is a whole lot different milieu/motivator than that which exists in a laboratory 'research' environment. Ph.D. certificates, in this arena, make very nice wallpaper.

2. A head shrink (he was hired as a consultant) at CIA was tasked to study my military team, looking for those criteria that 'make the best remote viewer' (CIA was very covetous of the Army unit in the early days but, for political reasons, could not have its own, until virtually nothing was left of the operational unit -- then it got the scraps). After batteries and batteries of tests, the bottom line: there are no key recognizable selection criteria.

3. Do your best to (tactfully -- like me) educate your "handlers."

Ed

P.S. -- Congratulations. I knew that you would do well.
