What is remote viewing?
For those seeking to gain an insight into a distant or an unknown target, remote viewing could help you do that. By using paranormal means, such as extra-sensory perception, scientists have been using the technique of remote viewing through physical models to organise their alleged extra-sensory perceptions.
However, purists in the scientific community reject remote viewing due to the absence of an evidence base, the lack of a theory which would explain remote viewing and the lack of experimental techniques that can provide reliably positive results. Perhaps that’s the reason why remote viewing is called pseudoscience.
The study of this psychic phenomena started way back in the mid-19th century. Early researchers in this field included famous scientists such as Michael Faraday, Alfred Wallace and William Crokes. The tests were based on specific individuals who were deemed psychics. In spite of that the results were met with much skepticism from the scientific community.
Later, in the 1930s, J.B. Rhine took forward the study of paranormal performance by using standard experimental protocols with unselected human subjects. But the fear of criticism made Rhine reluctant to publicise his work.
Although the skepticism continues till the present date, remote viewing practitioners have grown in number around the world. But India still needs to catch up. Sangeeta Krishnan, a tarot card reader and wiccan, says, “It is a skill that can be picked up with training, and has, in fact, been used by governments and by the police in many countries to trace missing people and criminals. In India there is no structured remote viewing training or practitioners as far as I know. I’ve dabbled in the subject myself, and scrying is one way to do it. Technically, advanced crystal ball gazers should be able to do remote viewing, but I have not come across many such people.”
