The public perception of Remote Viewing should not be dictated by opportunistic story tellers but history needs to be recorded by factual events and actual people. It all began between years of 1982 and 1983 while a prominent psychic who was working with a world-renowned physicist realized a breakthrough discovery in psychic phenomenon. The discovery was existence of a set of protocols which could produce accurate psychically derived data on a consistent basis using only a trained mind and a stack of plain white paper. The psychic research project was initially funded by CIA and then later picked up by DIA. This was military's competitive response to alleged Soviet psychic warfare program during cold war. Even though there was a hope for psychic performance, nobody really expected results that were discovered and put into motion. The most astounding fact was that they (we) had proven that this new psychic technique could be taught like a language and anyone could learn it.

This was beginning of something very substantial - a technology that turned psychically derived data from a happenstance gift into a skill that anyone could learn. And just like any other skill, personal performance improves with practice. For first time in human history, this not only proved existence of sixth sense but forever changed what was possible to achieve with human mind. And for those that actually practiced and mastered this new skill, they foresaw opening of a completely new era of consciousness, a place where only a few would feel comfortable with knowledge and even fewer would want to tread.

The discoverers named this new technology Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) and kept it a tightly held secret throughout eighties. There were only five people initially trained and only two out of five served in Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) newly formed Remote Viewing unit. The other three left and did not continue to practice their new learned skill. However, two officers who were trained CRVers trained others and for a short time they enjoyed a working environment where CRV could strut its stuff - but it didn't last long. The coming of Desert Storm and rotating fabric of institutional umbrella of government caused this very curious top secret unit to become a revolving door where people were passed off for lack of assignments or to wait out their retirements.

By 1995 unit had passed through hands of a number of military and civilian administrators who, either for ego or just sheer ignorance, turned it into a psychic circus. They brought in tarot card readers and channelers to work with only one partially trained remote viewer who was left. Secretaries were being solicited to channel and street witches were performing readings. It's no wonder that this group lost its government funding and was picked back up as a research program by CIA in early nineties. This was sketchy group that two civilian researchers were sent to evaluate and finally served in putting a final kibosh to with their "1995 CIA/AIR Report." It's surprising that report was as positive as it was considering there were no remote viewers left. But they claimed that they were evaluating "remote viewing" and that "the program" had spanned throughout a twenty four year period of time. Unbeknownst to two researchers, they had no access to DIA's RV operational unit which had been utilizing phenomenal breakthrough discovery for almost a decade.

In 1995, CIA hired most powerful publicity agency in country to announce its grand declassification of their "Remote Viewing program". The reason they declassified their program at this time was because PSI TECH had launched a book deal and was about to go public with its Technology in a big way.

The CIA set up several interviews on national TV news shows and brought out one of their natural psychics and two researchers to tell public that such an experimental psychic spy program did exist BUT that it could not be taught to others or scientifically proven. The CIA's declassification campaign was clever in that it used just enough truth wrapped around several mistruths and omitted pivotal breakthrough discovery that ANYONE could be taught to do this.

At end of nineteenth century it was found that a negatively charged metal plate would discharge when illuminated, but a positively charged one would not.

Then it was found by some researchers that NO metal plate would discharge.

Other researchers found that red light had no effect, but blue discharged plate.

The "photoelectric effect" was a mess.

Max Planck discovered that light consisted of particles. And each particle (or quantum) had an energy that could be defined as Joules.

The science was very simple. Take frequency of that light particle, multiply by Planck's constant, and you find how many Joules of energy are in that particle.

You could even pretend that this light particle collided with an electric particle - electron. If so, it would transfer its energy to that electron in just same way as chemistry of a battery energises electrons.

So we could define near infra-red as 1.7 electron volts, and at other end of spectrum ultra-violet begins at 3.2.

For this he got Nobel prize.

With electron-voltages of light being now defined, Einstein decided to tackle problem of metal plate. Why was it that only NEGATIVE electricity would be discharged? Because there is only one kind of "charge-carrier". Or so it seemed at time.

Why did some researchers find that NO metal plate would discharge? Because voltages are LOW. Even slightest film of grease or dirt could INSULATE against less than 3.2 volts.

And why did blue light work when red did not? The answer lay in Planck's electron voltages.

Einstein discovered that effect varied with TYPE of metal used for that plate. Each element, sodium, potassium, iron, copper, noble metals such as platinum &c., had a unique voltage.

That voltage represented energy that had to be present in light in order to free electrons.

That voltage became known as WORK FUNCTION.

Knowing this, scientists began to research forces that hold atoms together. In technical literature, Einstein's name was cited so often that Nobel Prize Committee could not ignore it.

So Einstein won Nobel Prize.

It is true that further researches modified simple model that scientists had used. For example, particle model of Planck suggested that an ultra-violet "PHOTON" could travel for thousands of millions of years through space, retaining its 3.2 eV energy - and NEVER become two photons at 1.6 eV each.

This is LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MATTER.

But after that huge journey, it needs only for that photon to hit a suitable crystal and it does indeed divide. You get TWO photons for price of ONE. This is only possible if photon consists of NOTHING.
