Remote Viewing and QuantumMechanics

explanations for consciousness and itsenigmatic features.

Critics deride this comparison as a mere"minimization of mysteries" and quicklypoint out that the brain is too warm forquantum computation which in thetechnological realm requires extreme cold toavoid "decoherence", loss of seemingly

delicate quantum states by interaction withthe environment.

However quantum computation would surelybe advantageous from an evolutionaryperspective, and biology has had 4 billion

years to solve the decoherence problem andevolve quantum mechanisms.2

The essence of consciousness and its

place in the universe remain a mystery.

Classical models view consciousness as

computation among the brain's

neurons yet they fail to address its

enigmatic nature.

At the same time quantum processes(superposition of states, non-locality,

entanglement) also remain mysterious, y e t a r e be i ng ha rne s s e d i nr e v o l u t i o n a r y i n f o r m a t i o ntechnologies (quantum computation,quantum cryptography and quantumteleportation).In order to comprehend events in the

phenomenal world, one needed to

introduce a major variable that haduntil then been ignored: Theconsciousness (self reflective thought)of the observer. Without theperception of a material world by aconscious entity, there were greatdoubts as to the existence of thatmaterial reality independently of itsobservation.1

A relation between consciousness andquantum effects has been ponderedfor nearly a century, and in the pastdecades quantum processes in thebra in have been invoked a sexplanations for consciousness and itsenigmatic features. Critics deride thiscomparison as a mere "minimizationof mysteries" and quickly point out

Furthermore, quantum non-locality occurring in conscious and subconscious brainfunction has been discovered in recent experiments. What is becoming even moreapparent are specific functional quantum processes in molecular biology.

What Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Remote Viewing (RV) have in common is thatthey both involve entanglement- where in QM it refers to particle entanglement and

in RV to consciousness entanglement.

QM deals with particles such as electrons and particles of light, called photons.Particle entanglement means that local measurements by an experimenter on aparticle will instantaneously interact with an entangled particle - no matter howfar apart the particles are. Einstein's famous insight that mass cannot travel fasterthan the speed of light (this is the "local" environment) does not extend toinformation about entangled particles...some information transfer does occurinstantaneously.

RV deals with target informationprocessed by human consciousnesssuch as sights, sounds, smells,feelings, tastes and concepts.Consciousness entanglementmeans that local intentions by a

viewer on target information willinstantaneously interact withentangled target information - nomatter how far apart the viewerand target are. Information fromentangled consciousness appearsavailable all the time.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

states:

"Quantum entanglement is a physicalresource, like energy, associated with thepeculiar nonclassical correlations that arepossible between separated quantumsystems. Entanglement can be measured,transformed, and purified.

Information from the Future and theTransactional Model of QM

Remote Viewing deals directly withinformation processed by consciousness. If

you take your memory as an example -- take as your target a time and place in your childhoodbedroom -- do that now. Look around the room, beaware of your conscious experience. You areconsciously processing previously entangled/storedinformation about your direct experience as a child.You are the viewer and your entangled experience isthe target. Memory fits very nicely with the simplelinear model of time that we have come to accept as

the only reality based on our experience.

Here is an extract from John Cramer'spaper, The Transactional Interpretationof Quantum Mechanics, where hisTransactional Quantum MechanicsModel interpretation supports the ideaabout precognition.

"A new interpretation of theformalism of quantum mechanics, theTransactional Interpretation (TI), ispresented. The basic element of TI isthe transaction describing a quantumevent as an exchange of advanced{backward in time} and retarded{forward in time} waves, as implied

by the work of Wheeler andFeynman, Dirac, and others. The TIis explicitly nonlocal and therebyconsistent with recent tests of the BellInequality, yet is relativistically

invariant and fully causal. The TIpermits quantum mechanical wavefunctions to be interpreted as realwaves physically present in spacerather than as "mathematicalrepresentations of knowledge". TheTI is shown to provide insight into thecomplex character of the quantummechanical state vector and themechanism associated with its"collapse". The TI also leads in anatural way to justification of theHeisenberg uncertainty principle."4

This model is different from other models

in a way that it employs a two-wayexchange, a "handshake", between wavestraveling forward and backward in space-time.

Remote Viewing experimental result from Princeton University show that nonlocal

precognitive (future information) connections are, in fact, also part of our reality.

Later on Cramer publishedAnO v e r v i e w o f t h eT r a n s a c t i o n a l Interpretation where he

explains the nature of ahandshake:

"This advanced-retardedhandshake is the basis for thetransactional interpretation ofquantum mechanics. It is atwo-way contract between thefuture and the past for thepurpose of transferring energy,m o m e n t u m , e t c , w h i l eo b s e r v i n g a l l o f t h ec o n s e r v a t i o n l a w s a n dquant i za t i on cond i t i onsimposed at the emitter/a b s o r b e r t e r m i n a t i n g ` ` b o u n d a r i e s ' ' o f t h etransaction. The transaction isexplicitly nonlocal because the

future is, in a limited way,affecting the past (at the levelof enforcing correlations). Italso alters the way in which wem u s t l o o k a t p h y s i c a lphenomena. When we stand inthe dark and look at a star ahundred light years away, notonly have the retarded light

waves {forward in time from Ein sketch} from the star beentraveling for a hundred yearsto reach our eyes, but theadvanced waves {backward intime from A in sketch}generated by absorptionprocesses within our eyes havereached a hundred years into

the past, completing thetransaction that permitted thestar to shine in our direction."5

The ske tch be low i s arepresentation of the waveswhere the vertical axis istime and the horizontaldirection represents space.Note that the current QMformulation does have anexact cancel lation ofwaves that limits any usual

faster than the speed ofl i g h t ( s u p e r l u m i n a l )communication.

Also, Cramer in a paperentitled Quantum Non-l o c a l i t y a n d t h e

P o s s i b i l i t y o f Superluminal Effects in a

section entitled NonlinearQuantum Mechanics AndSuperluminal Loopholes, says:

"However, this prohibition isbroken if quantum mechanicsis allowed to be slightly "non-linear", a technical termmeaning that when quantumwaves are superimposed theymay generate a small cross-term not present in thestandard formalism. Steven

Weinberg, Nobel laureate forhis theoretical work in unifyingthe electromagnetic and weakinteractions, investigated atheory which introduces smallnon-linear corrections to

standard quantum mechanics [13]. Theonset of non-linear behavior is seen inother areas of physics, e.g., laser light incertain media, and, he suggested, mightalso be present but unnoticed in quantummechanics. ... Two years after Weinberg's

non-linear QM theory was published, Joseph Polchinski published a paperdemonstrating that ... Through the newn o n - l i n e a r e f f e c t s , s e p a r a t e dmeasurements on the same quantumsystem begin to 'talk' to each other andfaster-than-light and/or backward-

Even though the non-linear QuantumMechanics model has not been

experimentally verified in physics

laboratories as yet, RV precognition

experimental data support the notion

of backward-in-time signaling.

Science does seem to be making

progress toward comprehending the

reality of precognition and maybe

consciousness will be the link for thevery small and the very large.7

Gerald ODonnel, one of the most

experienced experts in Remote Viewing

states on his website: This is not magic:

black nor white. The spiritual aspect and

the comprehension of what is happening

is within every human being. Each and

everyone has access to it. Quantum

physics has only brushed experimentally

the big question: has matter created mind

or mind created matter? Even though the

...faster-than-light and/or backward-in-time signaling

becomes possible.

Five years after Wheeler outlined whathe called the delayed-choice experiment,it was carried out independently bygroups at the University of Maryland andthe University of Munich. They aimed alaser beam not at a plate with two slitsbut at a beam splitter, a mirror coated

with just enough silver to reflect half ofthe photons impinging on it and let theother half pass through. After divergingat the beam splitter the two beams wereguided back together by mirrors and fedinto a detector.This initial setup provided no way for theinvestigators to test whether anyindividual photon had gone right or leftat the beam splitter. Consequently, eachphoton went both ways splitting into twowavelets that ended up interfering witheach other at the detector.

Then the workers installed a customizedcrystal called a Pockels Cell in the middle

of one route. When an electric currentwas applied to the Pockels Cell, itdiffracted photons to an auxiliary

detector. Otherwise, photons passedthrough the cell unhindered. A randomsignal generator made it possible to turnthe cell on or off after the photon hadalready passed the beam splitter butbefore it reached the detector as Wheelerhad specified.

When the Pockels-cell detector wasswitched on, the photon would behavelike a particle and travel one route or theother, triggering either the auxiliarydetector or the primary detector, buy notboth at once. If the Pockels-cell detectorwas off ,an interference pattern wouldappear in the detector at the end of bothpaths, indicating that the photon hadtravelled both routes.

The astronomers choice of how toobserve photons from the quasar here inthe present apparently determineswhether each photon took both paths or

just one path around the gravitationallens-billions of years ago. As theyapproached the galactic beam splitter thephotons must have had something like a

premonition telling them how to behavein order to satisfy a choice to be made byunborn beings on a still nonexistentplanet.

proof is within the laboratory of one's

own mind. Not within an external

technological laboratory apparatus.

Although time and space have been

experimentally bridged within majorresearch physics labs recently, the

implications have yet to seep through

mankind's psyche.

In one famous laboratory experimentof modern quantum physics called

"the delayed choice experiment" even

the past was changed in order to fit

the present. Which means that instead

of the normal cause-and-effect logic

that we are accustomed to, in that

case the effect chosen caused the

cause to change accordingly. This

means that our present choices

changes the memory of our past. This

the physicist John A. Wheeler in 1978

as a thought experiment, was

For two decades SRI's research wassupported by the CIA and othergovernment agencies (One of them wasa project called Project Stargate - the

leakage and to prevent deception,whether intentional or unintentional.

First, we conducted experiments withMr. Uri Geller in which we examinedhis ability, while located in anelectrically shielded room, to reproducetarget pictures drawn by experimenterslocated at remote locations. Second, we

conducted double-blind experimentswith Mr. Pat Price, in which wemeasured his ability to describe remoteoutdoor scenes many miles from hisphysical location.

Our task was to learn to understandpsychic abilities, and to use these

abilities to gather information about theSoviet Union during the Cold War.

Here is what R. Targ anf H.Puthoff write about theexperiments conducted withGeller in their study8:

Geller was at all times visually,

acoustically, and electricallyshielded from personnel andmaterial at the target location.Only fo l l owing Ge l l e r ' si s o l a t i o n f r o m t h eexperimenters was a targetchosen and drawn, a proceduredesigned to eliminate pre-e x p e r i m e n t c u e i n g .Furthermore, to eliminate thepossibility of pre-experimenttarget forcing, Geller was keptignorant as to the identity ofthe person selecting the targetand as to the method of targetselection.Three different techniqueswere used in the experiments:

(1)pseudo-random technique ofo p e n i n g a d i c t i o n a r yarbitrarily and choosing thefirst word that could bedrawn

(2) t a r g e t s , b l i n d t o

experimenters and subject,prepared independently bySRI scientists outside thee x p e r i m e n t a l g r o u p(following Geller's isolation)a n d p r o v i d e d t o t h eexperimenters during thecourse of the experiment

(3) arbitrary selection from a

Geller's task was to reproducewith pen on paper the linedrawing generated at the targetlocation. Following a period ofeffort ranging from a fewminutes to half an hour, Gellereither passed (when he did notfeel confident) or indicated hewas ready to submit a drawing tothe experimenters, in which casethe drawing was collected before Gellerwas permitted to see the target.

And concludes:

Geller was successful in

obtaining information under

conditions in which no persons

were knowledgeable of the

target. A double-blind

experiment was performed in

which a single 3/4 inch die was

placed in a 3 x 4 x 5 inch steel

box. The box was then

vigorously shaken by one of the

experimenters and placed on the

table, a technique found in

control runs to produce a

distribution of die faces differing

non significantly from chance.

The orientation of the die within

the box was unknown to the

experimenters at that time.

Geller would then write down

which die face was uppermost.

The target pool was known, but

the targets were individually

prepared in a manner blind to all persons

was performed ten times, with Geller

passing twice and giving a response eight

times. In the eight times in which he gave a

response, he was correct each time. The

distribution of responses consisted of three

2s, one 4, two 5s, and two 6s. The

probability of this occurring by chance is

approximately one in 10 to the power 6.

Here is the summary Targgives about the experiments:A study by Osis 5 led us todetermine whether a subjectcould describe randomlychosen geographical siteslocated several miles from thes u b j e c t ' s p o s i t i o n a n dd e m a r c a t e d b y s o m eappropriate means (remote

viewing). This experimentcarried out with Price, aformer Cali fornia policec o m m i s s i o n e r a n d c i t ycouncilman, consisted of as e r i e s o f d o u b l e - b l i n d ,demonstration-of-ability testsinvolving local targets in theSan Francisco Bay area which

This is based onsubject opinions that the use ofartificial targets involves a'trivialization of the ability' ascom par e d w i t h na t ura lpreexisting targets.

In each of nine experimentsinvolving Price as subject andSRI experimenters as a targetdemarcation team, a remotelocation was chosen in adouble-blind protocol. Price,who remained at SRI, wasasked to describe this remote

location, as well as whateveractivities might be going onthere.Several descriptions yieldedsignificantly correct data

pertaining to and descriptive of the target

location.

In the experiments a set of twelve targetlocations clearly differentiated from eachother and within 30 minutes driving timefrom SRI had been chosen from a target-rich environment (more than 100 targetsof the type used in the experimentalseries) prior to the experimental series byan individual in SRI management, thedirector of the Information Science andEngineering Division, not otherwiseassociated with the experiment. Both theexperimenters and the subject were keptblind as to the contents of the target pool,which were used without replacement.

An experimenter was closeted with Priceat SRI to wait 30 minutes to begin the

narrative description of the remotelocation. The SRI locations from whichthe subject viewed the remote locationscons i s t e d o f an ou tdoor pa rk (Experiments 1, 2),- the double-walledcopper-screen Faraday cage discussedearlier (Experiments 3, 4, and 6-9), andan office (Experiment 5). A secondexperimenter would then obtain a target

location from the Division Director froma set of traveling orders previouslyprepared and randomised by the Directorand kept under his control. The targetdemarcation team (two to four SRIexperimenters) then proceeded directly tothe target by automobile withoutcommunicating with the subject orexperimenter remaining behind. Since

the experimenter remaining with the

subject at SRI was in ignorance both asto the particular target and as to thetarget pool, he was free to question Priceto clar i fy his descr ipt ions . Thedemarcation team then remained at thetarget site for 30 minutes after the 30minutes allotted for travel. During theobservation period, the remote-viewingsubject would describe his impressions ofthe target site into a tape recorder. Acomparison was then made when thedemarcation team returned.

Price's ability to describe correctly

buildings, docks, roads, gardens,

and so on, including structural

materials, color, ambiance, and

activity, sometimes in great detail,

indicated the functioning of a

remote perceptual ability.

From these experiments we concludethat:

- A channel exists wherebyinformation about a remotelocation can be obtained by meansof an as yet unidentified perceptualmodality.- As with all biological systems, theinformation channel appears to beimperfect, containing noise alongwith the signal.-While a quantitative signal-to-

noise ratio in the information-theoretical sense cannot as yet bedetermined, the results of ourexperiments indicate that thefunctioning is at the level of usefulinformation transfer.

-It may be that remote perceptualability is widely distributed in the

general population, but because theperception is generally below anindividuals level of awareness, it isrepressed or not noticed. Forexample, two of our subjects (H.H.and P.P.) had not consideredthemselves to have unusualperceptual ability before theirparticipation in these experiments.

Our observation of the phenomenal e a d s u s t o c o n c l u d e t h a texperiments in the area of so-calledparanormal phenomena can bescientifically conducted, and it isour hope that other laboratorieswill initiate additional research toattempt to replicate these findings.12

H. E. Puthoff, Ph.D. in his CIA-Initiated

Remote Viewing At Stanford Research Institutesays:Regardless of one's a priori position,however, an unimpassioned observercannot help but attest to the followingfact. Despite the ambiguities inherent inthe type of exploration covered in theseprograms, the integrated results appear toprovide unequivocal evidence of a

human capacity to access events remotein space and time, however falteringly, bysome cognit ive process not yetunderstood. My years of involvement as aresearch manager in these programs haveleft me with the conviction that this factmust be taken into account in anyattempt to develop an unbiased picture ofthe structure of reality.

Following is an abstract from theJournal

of Scientific Exploration, Volume 10,

Number 1:

Research on psychic functioning,conducted over a two decade period, isexamined to determine whether or notthe phenomenon has been scientificallyestablished. A secondary question iswhether or not it is useful for governmentpurposes. The primary work examined inthis report was government sponsoredresearch conducted at Stanford ResearchI ns t i tu t e , l a t e r known a s S R II n t e r n a t i o n a l , a n d a t S c i e n c e

Applications International Corporation,known as SAIC. Using the standardsapplied to any other area of science, it is


22/29

concluded that psychic functioning hasbeen well established. The statisticalresults of the studies examined are farbeyond what is expected by chance.

Arguments that these results could be dueto methodologica l flaws in theexperiments are soundly refuted. Effectsof similar magnitude to those found ingovernment-sponsored research at SRIand SAIC have been replicated at anumber of laboratories across the world.Such consistency cannot be readilyexplained by claims of flaws or fraud.

The magnitude of psychic functioningexhibited appears to be in the rangebetween what social scientists call a smalland medium effect. That means that it isreliable enough to be replicated inproperly conducted experiments, withsufficient trials to achieve the long-runstatistical results needed for replicability.

A number of other patterns have been

found, suggestive of how to conductmore productive experiments and appliedpsychic functioning. For instance, itdoesn't appear that a sender is needed.Precognition, in which the answer isknown to no one until a future time,

appears to work quite well. Recentexperiments suggest that if there is apsychic sense then it works much like ourother five senses, by detecting change.Given that physicists are

c u r r e n t l y g r a p p l i n g w i t h a nunderstanding of time, it may be that apsychic sense exists that scans the futurefor major change, much as our eyes scanthe environment for visual change or ourears allow us to respond to suddenchanges in sound. It is recommended

that future experiments focus onu n d e r s t a n d i n g h o w t h i s

phenomenon works, and on how to

make it as useful as possible. There

is little benefit to continuing experimentsdesigned to offer proof, since there is littlemore to be offered to anyone who doesnot accept the current collection ofdata.13

According to Russell Targ, wecan be certain that remoteViewing is working and presentshis findings as follows:

Accuracy and Reliability of

Remote Viewing:

Finding the target: Remote viewers can often contact,experience and describe ahidden object, or a remotenatural or architectural site,based on the presence of acooperative person at thel o c a t i o n , g e o g r a p h i c a lcoordinates, or some other targetdemarcation, which we call anaddress. We have shown that it isnot necessary for someone toknow the correct answer at thetime of the viewing. Forexample, in precognitive remote

viewing, the target may not evenbe chosen at the time of theexperimental trial, but of course,the viewer will get to see the

feedback later.

Target attributes most often

sensed:

Shape, form and color aredescribed much more reliably byinexperienced viewers than the

Rhoncus tempor placerat.

What do we Know About Remote Viewing?

target's function, or other analytical information.In addition to visual imagery, viewers sometimesdescribe associated feelings, sounds, smells andeven electrical or magnetic fields.

It is even possible for viewers to experienceaspects of a target which are not actuallymanifested. For example, some viewers canreliably describe the color of an object which isinside an opaque box where there is no light togive it any color at all.


25/29

Temporal sensing:

Viewers can sense present, pastand future activities at target sites.In 1982, nine remote viewingforecasts were made four days inadvance for changes in the price ofsilver futures on the COMEXcommodity exchange, and all ninewere correct. There is not a dropof evidence to indicate that it is

more difficult to look slightly intothe future, than it is to describe anobject in a box in front of you.

Actually, it's better not to look atthe box when you are doingremote viewing, because you maybe tempted to try to see the targetby pretending that you have x-ray

vision, which, in our experience,

does not work.

Accuracy and reliability:

Blueprint accuracy can sometimesbe achieved, and reliability in aseries can be as high as 80%.Unlike card-guessing or otherforced-choice experiments, morethan two decades of remote

viewing research have shown nodecline in people's remote viewingperformance over time. Withp r a c t i c e , p e o p l e b e c o m eincreasingly able to separate outthe psychic signal from the mentalnoise of memory and imagination.

Spatial accuracy:

Targets and target details as smallas 1 mm can be sensed. HellaHammid successfully describedmicroscopic picture targets assmall as one millimeter square inan experimental series at SRI in1979.[1] Shealso correctlyident ified a

silver pin anda s p o o l o f thread insidean aluminumfilm can.

In the 1890s, Annie Besantworked with psychic C. W.

Leadbeater in an imaginativestudy to describe the structure ofatoms. In this early research at theEnglish Theosophical Society,Leadbeater was the first person inthe world to describe thedistinctive nuclear structure of thethree isotopes of hydrogen. In hisbook Occult Chemistry published in1 8 9 8 , h e w r o t e t h a t h eclairvoyantly saw that a given atomof hydrogen could have one, two,or three particles in its nucleus,and still be hydrogen. Isotopes hadnot yet been discovered bychemists. Leadbeater was the firstto report that atoms of different

atomic weights could still retain theirchemical identity.

Distance effects:

Again and again we have seen thataccuracy and resolution of remote

viewing targets are not sensitive to variations in distance of up to 10,000miles. An example of such long-distance

viewing is described in Chapter 2 withDjuna Davitashvili in the 1984 Moscow -San Francisco remote viewing.

Electrical shielding:

Faraday-cage screen rooms andunderwater shielding have no negativeeffects on remote viewing. In fact, some

viewers very much like to work in anelectrically-shielded environment. Thewell-known psychic Eileen Garrettshowed me such a room that she had built

for her own use, in her offices at theParapsychology Foundation, on 57thStreet in New York City. Pat Price did hisfine description of the Rinconada ParkSwimming Pool Complex and severalother sites from inside SRI's shieldedroom. In fact, recent findings fromPhysicist James Spottiswoode** show thatelectromagnetic radiation from our milky

way galaxy and the electromagneticeffects of solar flares both degrade psychicfunctioning. Electrical shielding seems tohelp performance, and so does carryingout experiments when the galacticradiation is at a minimum at yourlocation. When the milky way is below

your position of the earth, rather thanabove your head, you have a two hour

window of opportunity. This occurs at1300 hours sidereal time, but it is stillpossible to be abundantly psychic any

time of the day or night.

In 1978, Hella Hammid and Ingo Swannsuccessfully received messages sent fromPalo Alto, while they were inside of asubmarine submerged in 500 feet of seawater, 500 miles away. Hella and Ingoeach had five file cards to look at later,with a target location description writtenon one side, and a submarine type of

instruction on the other, as a sort of codedevice. For example, the five targets werea large oak tree, an indoor shoppingplaza, etc.; and the messages were thekind of thing you might communicate toa submerged sub that was out of radiocontact because of the salt water, such as,"Remain submerged, Return to port, Fireat priority targets," etc. In each case my

colleague and I would hide ourselves inPalo Alto at a specified time, and the

viewers in the sub would have to describethe location where we were. They wouldthen look at each of the five cards to seewhich one best matched their remote

viewing experience, and the message to besent was found on the back of the card.Both trials in this experiment were

successful. (The statistical significancewould be found by multiplying togetherthe two 1-in-5 events, to give a probabilityof p = 0.04, or less than four times in ahundred occurring by chance, whichmany would consider a significantresult.)14

In 1977, Targ and Puthoff published abook Mind-Reach in which they

presented the results of their remoteviewing experiments. They also evaluatedthe ways in which remote viewing couldbe put to practical use.

They listed:

(a) Survival value many spontaneousOBE's occur at the time of a serious

accident, injury or during surgery. "It is inprimarily life-threatening situations thatexceptional spontaneous functioningseems to occur" they say;

(b) Executive ESP use of remoteviewing and other anomalous abilities in

the business world;(c) Futuristic predictions;

(d) Medical diagnosis; and

(e) Space exploration.
