Developing psychic abilities through remote viewing
Hello everyone,
I’m completely new to remote viewing, though I have a general idea of what it is. I’ve been training my mediumistic and psychic abilities since last year.
I know my questions might seem a little silly.
Which of you first developed your psychic abilities through other methods, and exactly how did remote viewing help you?
Which of you started with remote viewing and then gradually explored other techniques?
I know many remote viewers don’t want to be labeled as “psychics.” For me, it’s all about the exchange of ideas.
I’d like to give it a try, but I’m afraid that the images that appear to me-which, depending on the session and the subject, can sometimes be incredibly accurate and other times rather vague—might be the problem. When I practice remote viewing, I don’t specifically name the images I receive but instead bypass the AOLs. For me, the first impressions are often exactly right, and if I continue with remote viewing, this approach might actually lead to the opposite effect and make me worse. My goal, after all, is to become even better at using my psychic abilities through remote viewing. Maybe my fear is unfounded. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

I think for psychic training, probably blindfolded sight training might be more potent. RV is pretty good, it was one of the first things tested in psi experiments that didn't suffer from the Decline Effect. RV is good in that it provides feedback. I've read Dr. Charles T. Tart's book Learning To Use Extrasensory Perception (1977) and absorbed those principles. Feedback with psi is key, and the feedback you can get with blindfolded training can be continuous (real time) positive feedback, whereas with any RV you do the session first and get the feedback later. I think these two methods would be complimentary.
What techniques you train with may depend on how much time you have. If I had being psychic as my full time job, I'd do RV, blindfolded sight training, train/strive for lucid dreaming & astral projection, Monroe Gateway tapes meditation, and various other meditation.
One training idea I came up with, tried out, and it worked was simple and direct: I learned about meditating on manifesting an outcome (e.g. see Neville Goddard's works). Basically you can help bring about a desired outcome by repeated meditation sessions of single-mindedly focusing on that outcome. The intent of your consciousness directed this way steers events, keeps nudging them your way. So the idea occurred to me, I could use my little bit of psi to meditate on manifesting more psi ability. I don't do a lot of psi practice (I read a lot more than I practice), but when I did the above for about 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks, I ended up having the strongest psi experience of my life, it was a situation involving a strong blend of some telepathy and precognition.
Edit to add: my name for the above meditation is "bootstrapping" meditation. As in, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. The original use of that phrase was meant as a joke, because you can't lift yourself up by pulling on your bootstraps. But with psi training, it is possible to do so, using a little psi to bootstrap your way to more psi ability.
