Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001100520001-3 COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING (CRV) 1. Introduction Exploration and development of co-ordinate remote viewing (CRV) has gone through many phases : from random experimenting in 1974 ultimately to its substantive contents now isolated into a primary, but standardized, training course. Based strictly upon the increasing success of trainees, it is anticipated that the CRV procedures will continue to increase in value as a practical applications tool.

We are unable to explain in conventional terms why it is that the co-ordinate serves as a stimulus in the manner it does. Yet, as observed, utilized through the methodologies that have been developed, it works with remarkable precision.

The CRV technology differes from standard parapsychology The CRV methodologies utilize comprehensions derived from studies of basic perceptual qualities. These have not been incorporated into the standard statistical approaches commonly utilized in parapsychology in other past and present research centers.

The model we prefer at the moment is the cosmogony of quantum physics offered by David Bohm.

The "Stages" of CRV R&D, aligned with training, have shown that "psychic" signals offer themselves up to interpretative consciousness through a predictable series. This series starts with "greatest" meaning, and evolves into "specific" components. This predictable process has easily yielding "stages" each of which, in training, can be specifically tutored. The training procedures are, however, of extraordinary delicacy and do not tolerate many "flubs." Careful training eventually yields a strong skill.

The "signal" vs. the "noise" Isolating signal from noise, and determining the characteristics of noise, was a successful advance during 1978-1979. As a result of this new knowledge and understanding gained, it became possible to isolate and study "signals" in a relatively clean area of inspection. Without this advance, none of the successive comprehensions of the signal line would have been possible.

The Ideogram The discovery of the "ideogram" and comprehension of its importance and meaning is perhaps the most significant occurrence in all the CRV work. Basic understandings of the ideogram are found not only in our own work, but also in several other fields that have concentrated upon the microgenic basis of perception and semantics and meaning. The ideogram is not unique to the work in CRV. An historical search of parapsychology, psychical research, semantics, clinical neurology and artistic disciplines adequately support the premise that the ideogram is the result of a basic unconscious human perceptual modulation. In psychical research in particular, the presence of the ideogram is recorded as early as 1882, but its significance was not grasped.

The CRV training course is carefully designed The most important task in creating the CRV training course was to come to grips with the subtle factors involved in accepting the fact that the self-generating creative faculties of the trainee would achieve prime importance. The second task was to design an approach that might incorporate psychic functions on a strict and repetitive basis, and yet not drive these emerging functions into extinction. The result has been the devising of a course of training that has produced satisfactory results in these very important areas. Analysis of learning patterns display patterns that are recognizable in other disciplines of training in which a new performance-skill is gained through precision tutoring or coaching.

Description of Stage I training methodology Via the use of a co-ordinate as a sole reference, the trainee's subliminal or unconscious signal detecting and decoding capabilities sort of "condense" around features of the distant site .. In Stage I, for training purposes, we select sites that have a discrete similarity over a five-mile radius. The trainee is expected to be able, as a result of training, to ultimately and without error bring his perceptual faculties under conscious control and determine the general nature of this kind of site. Stage I is, of course, simplistic: but the success of this initial task brings several psychical-perceptual qualities under control, and sets the groundwork for the increasingly complex tasks that follow in the successive stages.

It has transpired that the learning patterns of the CRV training do exhibit great similarities to other learning-patterned tasks in which a new skill involving conscioussness interpretation vis a vis neuro-motor functioning is gained: (i.e., sports, musical performance, machinery driving, flying, navagating, etc.) We therefore interpret that the psychical component of CRV is not solely one of intellectual mentation, but one in which mental-physical performance is achieved.

They do not reproduce well, and examples of these are therefore not included here.) 12.
