Remote Viewing and Reality Shifting: Exploring the link

Coming back from the dead to make this post... come back of the century fr

Remote viewing (RV) is a purported psychic ability to “see” or sense distant events, people or places beyond the reach of the ordinary senses. The U.S. government famously explored RV during the Cold War under programs like Project Stargate, in which trained “viewers” attempted to describe hidden targets. In fact, a declassified CIA report concluded in 1995 that the Stargate program never produced reliable, actionable intelligence. Modern researchers generally view RV with skepticism (it is labeled pseudoscience by skeptics), but it remains an intriguing blend of science and mysticism.

Metaphysical interpretations:

Despite mainstream doubts and lack of evidence during the RV trials, many people treat remote viewing as a spiritual or consciousness-based phenomenon. In occult traditions it’s akin to clairvoyance or astral travel. As author Rosemary Guiley describes, it’s “seeing remote or hidden objects clairvoyantly with the inner eye, or in alleged out-of-body travel”. One modern source puts it simply: “Remote viewing is the psychic ability to acquire accurate information about a distant or non-local place, person, or event without using your physical senses…”. A 1900s pamphlet titled Clairvoyance and Occult Powers even lists forms of distant sensing (astral travel, crystal-gazing, etc.) as related to “seeing” faraway things.

An old psychic manual titled “Clairvoyance and Occult Powers” lists distant-sensing abilities (astral travel, crystal-gazing, remote viewing, etc.). This reflects how RV is often linked to classic occult clairvoyance.

How to Practice Remote Viewing: A Beginner Exercise

Remote viewing is usually taught as a skill that anyone can develop with practice. One simple training exercise is the envelope target method:

Prepare hidden targets:

Have a friend select 5–10 images (e.g. photos or magazine clippings of landscapes, objects, buildings, etc.) and place them face-down in opaque envelopes. You should not see these images during the exercise.

Relax and set intention:

Sit quietly, calm your mind by breathing slowly and letting go of distractions. (Some remote viewing protocols explicitly include a brief meditation or mind-clearing step.)

Record impressions:

Open one envelope and peek only at its back so you don’t see the image. Then close your eyes and focus on sensing it. Write down any impressions – shapes, colors, textures, emotions, or words – that come to mind. Draw a quick sketch of anything you “see” intuitively, without judging accuracy.

Check results:

Finally, reveal the actual image and compare it to your notes/sketch. See what matches (even loosely) and what was off.

Treat this as practice: don’t worry about failures, just notice patterns. Over time, viewers report that subtle “hits” can improve with exercise.

This process emphasizes relaxation, clear intention, and noting subtle impressions – core skills in RV. With repeated trials (having someone shuffle and reseal different envelopes), you train your mind to pick up on details that might otherwise be ignored. Even if official science doesn’t endorse RV, practitioners find that this kind of focused, meditative observation can sharpen intuition.

How Remote Viewing s Reality Shifting

Although coming from different traditions, remote viewing and reality shifting share surprising similarities in technique. Both require heightened concentration, visualization, and a calm state of mind. For example, many shifters first induce a deep relax-and-visualize state (sometimes as one drifts to sleep), just as remote viewers start by grounding themselves and focusing attention. Both practices treat the mind as the primary “sensor”: in RV you attend to subtle impressions of a hidden target, while in shifting you attend to the mental image of your DR. In this way, training in one may help the other.

Meditative focus:

Before attempting a shift or RV session, you often quiet physical distractions. Both might involve guided breathing, progressive relaxation, or simple mantra repetition. These build the same skill of mindful awareness. Indeed, many shifters note that shifting often feels like a trance or lucid dream – states that experienced remote viewers also enter deliberately. Practicing meditation and mindfulness (common in RV training) can therefore successful shifting by strengthening mental control.

Vivid visualization:

A core part of shifting is imagining the DR in detail. Remote viewing also encourages mental imagery: viewers might sketch what they “sense” on paper or focus on specific aspects of a target. You could apply this by treating your DR like an RV target. For instance, imagine you are “remote viewing” the scene of your desired reality – note colors, objects, even feelings. This use of imagination is essentially the same skill.

Setting Intentions:

In both RV and shifting, success often starts with a clear objective. Remote viewers set an intention (“describe the target at location X”), and shifters similarly frame their desire (“I intend to be at …. tonight”). Writing a script or reciting affirmations before a shift is like formulating an RV protocol. The cognitive practice of committing an intention to mind can prime your subconscious in either context.

Overlap and Mindset

Both remote viewing and reality shifting are fundamentally about exploring consciousness. They emphasize that your attention and beliefs shape what you experience. In RV, analysts sometimes speak of the mind “collapsing probabilities” or gleaning information beyond five senses. In shifting, practitioners talk about the “universal multiverse” concept – that countless possible realities exist and your mind can tune into one. These ideas share a common theme: the observer’s mind is powerful. By training mental focus and intention (through meditation, visualization, and relaxation), practitioners of either approach seek to expand personal experience beyond the immediate physical environment.

6 RV and RS combination methods that could help in your shifting journey

1. Use Remote Viewing to Strengthen Mental Perception Before Shifting

Remote Viewing teaches you to:

Focus your mind

Receive subtle impressions

Interpret imagery or sensations from “non-local” sources

This can train your brain to notice details more accurately during shifting attempts.

For example:

Practice RV with sealed image targets (envelopes or random photos online).

Then apply the same calm focus and attention to detail when visualizing your Desired Reality (DR).

Benefit: Stronger intuition + clearer mental imagery makes RS easier and more vivid.

2. Use Remote Viewing Protocols to “Explore” Your DR First

Instead of creating a DR, try remote viewing it first. The idea: what if your Desired Reality already exists somewhere in the multiverse — and you’re simply tuning in?

Steps:

Enter a calm RV state (like in traditional RV: quiet room, relaxed breath, eyes closed).

Ask yourself or write: “Describe my Desired Reality.”

Wait for impressions: colors, places, people, emotions.

Record everything without judgment — just like an RV session.

Afterward:

Use those impressions as a foundation for scripting your DR.

Trust the DR is “real” and you’re simply building the connection.

Benefit: This takes pressure off “creating” your DR and aligns with metaphysical ideas of infinite parallel worlds.

3. Layer RS Methods on Top of RV Foundations

Once your mind is sharpened through RV-style training, combine it with RS techniques:

Start with remote viewing-style focus: Clear your mind, calm your breath, enter a receptive state.

Then transition to your RS method (e.g., Raven, Alice, Mirror, Staircase). Use impressions from your RV session to guide the visualization of your DR.

You’re not imagining randomly — you’re recalling a place you've already visited psychically.

Think of it like this:

RV = connecting to a “signal”

RS = stepping fully into the broadcast

4. Create a “Portal” RV Target to Enter the DR

In classic RV, targets are objects, photos, or coordinates. But you can use: Your DR as a target.

For example:

Write on a card: “The reality where I attend Hogwarts” or “The timeline where I am my highest self.”

Place it in an envelope or keep it out of view.

Use RV steps to describe or sketch the scene.

When it feels vivid enough… step into it using an RS technique like mirror visualization, the Raven method, or a “jump.”

Benefit: Treats the DR as a location, not a fantasy — aligning more with RV-style belief systems.

5. Use RV Practice to Filter Beliefs and Remove Mental Blocks

Many people fail to shift because they doubt their ability or get distracted.

RV helps because it teaches: Neutral observation (no judgment = no mental resistance) and accepting impressions without overthinking.

In RV training, students learn not to second-guess. You can apply this to RS:

When you see yourself in your DR, don’t question it. Just observe, accept, and merge with the scene that unfolds.

6. "Perception Ladder" Technique

A fusion method you can try:

Start with grounding: Slow breathing, clear your thoughts.

Do a mini RV scan: Ask: What does my DR look like today? Write or draw what comes.

Lie back (Raven method posture): Repeat affirmations like “I am already there.”

Climb the “ladder” of perception: Feel → see → hear → smell → touch → merge

Cross over using a visual portal: Mirror, doorway, or falling motion.

With practice, this blend builds intuition, consistency, and presence.

Final Thoughts: Why This Could Work

RV gives structure, focus, and practice

RS brings imagination, emotion, and desire

Combined, they help your consciousness feel anchored, not lost — and this makes entering altered states easier.

This combination may not guarantee shifting success, but it deepens self-awareness and strengthens mental skills used across meditation, lucid dreaming, astral projection, and beyond.
