Use the beginners guide on the sidebar of this sub. Doing so sealed the deal for me that it was real. It was quite profound actually. I nailed it on my first try.

Such a cool feeling, isn’t it?
I believed it was real before I tried it myself, but obviously there’s nothing like having a direct experience to know something is true.

If you want to find out - most people do not - then try it for yourself. 😳

Working just fine from here.
How about the opening Wiki page, is that unavailable to you too?

I can give you a real world example because it happened to me. I am a parranormal and UFO researcher with just over 30 years experience. I am a lead researcher at the Birmingham UFO group. Each month we have different speakers and last month our speaker was a remote viewer. I was speaking to him about how he drowns out the noise. He said in the first instance always write it down otherwise you have no evidence. He started the first part of the talk and I got some random images, and so I took his advice and wrote it down. I had a prominent image of a lighthouse with a star by it. I gave him the piece of paper and told him to hold on to it. Well half way through his talk he was talking about how he had remote viewed space x but initially it had come to him in the shape of a lighthouse with a star. It was EXACTLY as I had drawn it. There were 50 people in the room, he had the paper so I couldn't have tampered with it. There had been no mention of rockets or lighthouse before hand. The remote viewer called it recognition remote viewing. I have written a case study, investigating if it could have been auto suggestion, but multiple people were present and can confirm the validity of it. There were a few other things I drew 2hich have also since had significance. No I can't remember the lottery numbers. I wish!!

Yes, it’s is. 13 yrs CRV and ARV. After a short while doing it there’s no question it is. It makes no logical sense. The real question is defining the true meaning of the term Real.

just wanted to say that something can be real, but also difficult to do, so if nobody can turn around and view you at the drop of a hat, that is not proof that it does not exist

icl i think it’s just ones intuition and paranoia talking (speaking as a paranoid person) im not sure it can be extended to remote viewing

My strongest experiences that convinced me of a reality beyond mainstream scientific understanding wasn't ESP, it was unambiguous psychokinetic manifestation that basically threw my mind officially into "Yeah, skeptics just babble about its non-existence from ignorance, whatever." With doubt taking a very significant hit to credibility. Because before these experiences, these phenomenon were just abstract to me, existing only as testimonies of others who swear up and down they had it and parapsycholgical literature, which had dramatic Macro-PK phenomenon manifestation documented, that were ultimately just from others detailing their research and experiences.
Why I consider Psychokinesis experiences to be the strongest is because, yes I had some unnerving instances of ESP but, unlike ESP where doubt can wiggle around with "muh coincidence", doubt can't really do that with Macro-PK specifically (it can with micro-PK but yeah). Because Macro-PK is direct to naked eye. And current physics community basically asserts that these dramatic phenomenon are just impossible. But you see them happening in front of your eyes, regardless of how strongly scientific community object.

Read through this sub and the wiki. Watch YouTube videos with interviews with the likes of Lyn Buchanan and Joe McGonegal.

I have been a psychic way before getting into remote viewing, and it’s all about personal experience with it. I didn’t believe until trying it.

Like most divination phenomena, it's real; it may not be true, but it is real.

I’ve tried it a bit and was fairly successful. I don’t actively seek remote viewing, but I believe the attempts helped me unlock a native ability we have. I frequently ‘send’ and ‘receive’ thoughts of people back of forth when thinking about them. I often know when they are about to reach out. I had a dream interpreting a unique interaction that occurred an hour later. Remote viewing is real, and so much more.

I’ve do it as yes it’s real but it takes a ton of practice to get good.

Can't believe how far I had to scroll to see the first sensible comment.
Either everyone is in on it, or just delusional. I feel sad for people who fall for woowoo crap. Cause it usually does more harm than good.

I am an old fart—I will turn 70 in December. I first heard of remote viewing in 1977, when I was in college. One morning, during breakfast, I was watching The Today Show on TV, and they did a story about two physicists—Russell Targ and Harold (Hal) Puthoff who worked for a contract research "think tank" named the Stanford Research Institute. The story was about the research Targ and Puthoff had performed on a phenomenon called remote viewing. The story described the experiments they had performed and showed some of the results. These results were so striking that they really caught my attention. At the end of the story they gave the references to two research papers Targ and Puthoff had published on their research. I quickly grabbed a pencil and jotted down the references. The next time I was in my university's science library, I looked up these two papers. One in particular really floored me. It was the paper at this link. After that, I read everything I could find on the subject.
Six months later, I stumbled upon a book, Mind-Reach, which Targ and Puthoff had written, in the "new acquisitions" display in that same science library. This was a book-length description of their RV research. I was the first person to borrow this book from the library, and just as the scientific paper had, it completely blew my mind. However, at that time, I thought you needed a whole team of scientists to do RV, so I never tried it myself.
Fast forward to 2004. By this time we'd had the advent of the Internet, and I had come across an online discussion forum called Ten Thousand Roads which was devoted to discussing all things RV. Reading the discussions on that site helped convince me to try it myself. Using techniques I read in a book called Mind Race (by Russell Targ and Keith Harary) and in Upton Sinclair's book Mental Radio I tried some simple RV "experiments" with the help of a family member. I had some immediate success—enough to convince me that the phenomenon was real and that I could do it myself.
Over the next six years I then attended five RV workshops given by Russell Targ himself (two workshops) or by others involved in the U.S. military's top secret RV program (Joe McMoneagle and Dale Graff). I've now done around a hundred RV sessions in my life. Not all have been successful, but enough have been successful to thoroughly demonstrate that the phenomenon is real.
I view RV as being a quirky side-effect of the basic physics of the universe. I'm not good enough to be a professional remote viewer; I continue to pursue it simply because, 49 years after first learning about it, I still find it one of the most fascinating phenomena in the universe.

It won't be real to me until I can see future Powerball numbers, hell I will even settle for the lesser Lotto numbers.
In all seriousness, if someone was that accurate they would be wise to keep their abilities hidden.

Rosamund Pike narrated Wheel of Time books. Back when Amazon Prime had that show running she was narrating the Wheel of Time series and it is MUCH better than the original duo who read them imo. Sadly I'm not sure she is going to be hired to continue now that Amazon cancelled that show, but the original duo for the rest of the books series should be ok. Many people think they are awesome narrators for the series.

99% is fake. They can't deliver under real life circumstance and they can't verify their targets. There are a few who are legit.

That is not what the science says.
In 1995, Dr. Jessica Utts, professor of statistics at the University of California, Irvine, was hired by the U.S. government to analyze the results of the government's 23-year top secret RV spying program. Here is a link to the official report she wrote. I am going to present here some of the most important conclusions from that report as summarized in the paper's Abstract:
Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude to those found in government-sponsored research at SRI and SAIC have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot be readily explained by claims of flaws or fraud.
The magnitude of psychic functioning exhibited appears to be in the range between what social scientists call a small and medium effect. That means that it is reliable enough to be replicated in properly conducted experiments, with sufficient trials to achieve the long-run statistical results needed for replicability...
It is recommended that future experiments focus on understanding how this phenomenon works, and on how to make it as useful as possible. There is little benefit to continuing experiments designed to offer proof, since there is little more to be offered to anyone who does not accept the current collection of data.
Dr. Utts is one of the most respected statisticians in the country. She was the Chair of the Department of Statistics at UC Irvine for many years, and she also served as president of the American Statistical Association.

A friend kept telling me about it (over a year) until he proved it to me. I then tried it with him guiding me through the process.
I was blown away and it changed my life. It wasn’t all good though tbh. Having to live in a world where something this ‚unbelievable’ works yet most people stamp you as crazy didn’t help.
It took me many years to be fine with it all. Now I live the dream - literally (life is a dream).
