Doing a 'test' to prove or disprove TRV is not the way to determine if TRV works or not. No TRVer claims to be 100% accurate 100% of the time. The best results happen when a small group collectively takes on a target; then the results can be sifted and the common elements of the sessions become the most reliable data. Of course, there are many times when one session nails a target; check out:
No Force too Great for TRV

It concerns a session I completed after only three months of TRV practice.

Ditto Kevin's comments about the energized feelings after a session; I experience an overall sensation of well-being after most sessions.

For five of the past seven years TRV has been a constant influence in my life as many of the blind targets have looked at my own current and future circumstances (inner and outer). The data plus of own experiences have helped to shape my worldview on a couple of levels:
1 - clarification of lifestyle strategies - what to do, what to concentrate on, what to leave behind, what to care about, etc. and
2 - the continued proof, through experience, of a reality that overrides our normal grasp of time and space; this is so important as it provides the kernel of experience upon which to build a cosmology that embraces non-temporal and non-spatial limitations.
Well, enough for now.

Get those tapes, work hard!

One book I found excellent for understanding some of the background to the creation of what has eventually come to be called TRV is:
READING THE ENEMY'S MIND
Inside Stargate, America's Psychic Espionage Program
by Paul H. Smith

Another great read is:
Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, 1997 by Jim Schnabel, Dell.

Each of the above give insight into the genesis of the protocols that are now part of TRV.

Jonathan,

Thanks for posting this info.

Have you ever trved the year 2012? (Or do you know of any trvs of it?)

Also, from these books you mention can you tell me if the term "stargate" in the US miliatary project name is called that because the program actually looked for stargates or wormholes, or was it just that the stargate was the doorway to the info the trvers seek?

Jessica

Jessica:
I have not TRVed 2012 but will add it to my collection of targets and it will be picked (at random and unknown to me) sooner or later; I'll let you know the results.

Paul Smith (in his book) relates that the name Stargate happened this way:
The project used to be called Sun Streak; as code names need to change every few years, the viewers were given a list of suitable words; 'star' was the only one on the list that fit. Dale Graff added 'gate' because "it has a symbolic meaning, you know, a gateway, a portal, that kind of thing"

That's from Smith's book, Reading the Enemy's Mind, page 421.

I just saw a program on the History Channel regarding 2012. Someone I work with has been talking about this date for the past couple of years.

I found it interesting that the Mayan calendar is not the only calendar or prophesy that indicates something quite dramatic will occur 12/21/2012. After watching the program, I can understand why many people are unnerved (maybe an understatement) when anticipating this date.

Apparently there is also some web program, web bot (not quite sure of the name) that also indicates the world (at least as we know it) will end on this date.

There was a recent discussion on this topic on an Abraham forum. I am paraphrasing much here, but essentially Abraham did not deny this may be a significant date in the history of the world. However, according to Abraham, if one is vibrationally aligned, there is nothing to worry about.

I am going to an Abe workshop this coming weekend. If anyone else asks about it again, I will post here.

Here is a link to the web bot thing: [url="http://aphroditeastrology.com/2007/05/web-bot-project-and-2012.html"]

Pammie -

Have *you* thought about asking Abraham about it?

Ann

Pamela:
I checked out the web site in your post and find it fascinating reading. Please tell us about the Abe event you attended.

This thread has many members ordering the Gen II series in early to mid 2007. I'm curious as to how everyone is doing. Have many people persisted & followed though?

For my part, I am working hard so that I can pursue TRV as a mode of creating a more bountiful & fulfilled life. A guy's gotta eat

I wish I could do the trv sessions back to back as to get as much practice as possible during the hours of the day but alas, respite is required for accuracy so I'm allowing 2 hours between practice sessions.

Hi Kevin,

As I told Snowball in the chat room, your reputation proceeds you!
(I think I read the entire site. twice!)

Most of my s1 -s3 sessions have been pretty brief as well because Joni suggest keeping up the tempo to reduce aol's.

Thank you for the feedback & It's a pleasure to meet you

Hey Kevin,
I did pop in to the chat room & say hi and to let them know you said hello but sometimes the folks there aren't too chatty so I just go on my merry way

I like Snow, she's quick on the uptake & fun to talk to. Seems like some of the trv'rs are kind of jaded to newcomers though, I imagine because of the constant attrition & off the wall questions? Like, can you rv the lottery for me? I'll give you 10%

I came into this with a bit different idea of the level of difficulty & man, it's challenging sometimes! Especially becoming accurate in the s1- s3 arena (which is all I can talk about as that's all I'm doing right now), But I feel that ultimately it will prove well worth it so I'm bound & determined to stick with it & I do hope to be able to be proficient enough to contribute to a group someday soon.

Hi Ingram,

Yes, I was in that chatroom everyday for years. Quite a few characters pass through there...and some of the old-timers there can be abrasive at times....and of course, there is the constant flow of skeptics.

Snow is a gem. I have done LOTS of projects with her, she is sharp, honest, and a Great person!!!!

Yep, the attrition rate for people learning TRV is huge...my guess is more than 98%. I can count on two hands the number of TRVers that I know are still TRVing after having started or completed their training...and this is out of hundreds that I saw begin the process.

I do not believe this is because any one of them "could not" learn, but rather a matter of priorities (takes lots of practice) and inability/unwillingness to follow TRV protocol structure exactly.

Add on top of that the skepticism that may be encountered from friends and family, or even worse, friends/family believing it is the "devil, demons or some sort of evil" that is the source of the information.

Keep at it....as you know, it is a skill and nothing replaces practice to make the structure autonomic.

I find TRV very intresting, I myself have tried it and to some degree mostly misses, of course with practice it will be fine tuned. This is a subject i would like to get more into and learn about.

I understand somewhat of the concept of TRV and how it works. My question would be, does the human mind exist independently of the brain and the example of how remote viewing ability works, shows how the mind can see at a great distance. During the dream state would it be the mind that's active, not the brain.

And if people have a picture in there mind for something that are anticipating or seeing before hand is that the imagination or the mind trying to see

Lance,

TRV is a very structured protocol. You can learn more about it at the following links-

Yes, I believe the mind exists outside our physical body. Aaron has a great post on that somewhere. Hopefully he will jump in here and remind us where that is.
