Remote viewing is coordinate perception, not leaving your body.

JM Thomas · Paris, Tennessee · 15 August 2026

Remote viewing is coordinate perception, not leaving your body. Stargate funded the SRI protocol. Puthoff, Targ, and Swann ran it as CRV. Targ and Puthoff 1974: 13 drawing experiments across 7 days, 10 shielded-room experiments in the Geller series, plus Pat Price remote-scene trials. Puthoff and Targ 1976: more than fifty controlled lab experiments. Utts 1995: program-level Stargate assessment, not a single-n trial. Escolà-Gascón 2023: n=634 (347 coordinate RV + 287 image RV). Later Monroe, ERV, and channeling got stacked on the file. The enemy is the mix-up, not the viewers. Translation, not a scan of a session. We don't believe. We measure. The stills on this page are schematic.

I write from Paris, Tennessee. People send me a clip and ask if remote viewing means you leave your body. They already want the signal to be real. They want the HOW without hanging a travelogue on a coordinate they already trust. Those are hardware questions. I will answer the hardware. I will not baptize a chair session as an out-of-body flight. I will not tell you the viewers who sat down with a sealed target were stupid.

The gatekeeper said remote viewing was leftover theater. Empty guesswork. A Cold War hobby. The aisle said the opposite lie. Stack Monroe on Swann. Call channeling a coordinate. Hang a traveler on a sealed envelope. Both hid the mechanism. Stargate funded SRI. Puthoff and Targ ran sensory shielding and kilometer-scale trials. Swann named CRV. Reality Engineering is the science of making reality respond to intent. A target you can address is a target you can score. Yesterday's leftover mystery is today's engineering when you name the switch.

What is remote viewing, in this stack?

Remote viewing is coordinate perception. A viewer sits with a sealed target and a coordinate, then reports form. Stargate funded the SRI protocol that Puthoff, Targ, and Swann ran as CRV. The aisle later stacked Monroe, ERV, and channeling on top of that file. The enemy is the mix-up, not the viewers. Translation, not a scan of a session. The stills are schematic. Do not quote leftover art text as data.

Remote viewing, in this stack, is not a religion. It is not a bloodline. It is coordinate perception. A viewer is given an address for a target they cannot see. They report form. Shape. Texture. Layout. The target stays sealed until a judge scores the session against the site or the image. That is the job. Perception at a coordinate. The body stays in the room.

Form is form. The job is the switch. A sealed target. A coordinate. A report you can fail, then run again. A clip stamped remote viewing and travel is not the measured switch on this page. A channeling session is not the measured switch. I will not invent view counts for those files. I will not baptize a float as a coordinate.

Related reading: astral projection is running the grid map without the body. That page is the OBE and the grid-cell map. Place cells pin. Grid cells metric. This page is a chair and a sealed target. I will not clone that article. One short mapping. Keep the pages apart or you will mash a coordinate onto a traveler.

The stills are schematic. They are not a scan. They are not a session log you can quote as data. If leftover footer text invents a hit rate, I am ignoring it. Do not quote it. The protocol on this page is the papers I opened: 1974, 1976, Utts 1995, and Escolà-Gascón 2023 with n=634.

What is CRV, and what is a coordinate?

CRV is coordinate remote viewing. Swann's method at SRI. A coordinate is an address for a sealed target, not a passport out of the body. You do not leave. You perceive. The body stays in the chair. The target stays sealed until the session is scored. CRV is a protocol. It is not an out-of-body map. It is not channeling. It is not a travelogue you write after you float.

CRV is coordinate remote viewing. Ingo Swann built the method at SRI with Puthoff and Targ. A coordinate is an address. Numbers. A code that points at a sealed target. The viewer does not get a photo. The viewer does not get a street name. The viewer gets the address, then reports what the address holds. That is why the noun is coordinate perception, not leaving your body.

Why a coordinate. If you hand a viewer a picture, you handed them the answer. If you hand them a place name, you handed them a story. An address keeps the target sealed. The session can be scored later against the site or the image. Scoring is the instrument. A diary of floating is not a score. A channeling transcript is not a score. CRV is a protocol you can fail in a chair.

People already believe a sealed target can be read. I will not mock that. The gatekeeper hid the mechanism by calling the file empty. The aisle hid it by stacking Monroe, ERV, and channeling on the same noun. The missing split was coordinate versus traveler. A protocol you can fail, then run again.

Amateurs believe remote viewing is weather. Professionals verify a coordinate they were handed and a report they can score. We don't believe. We measure.

What did Targ and Puthoff 1974 actually run?

Targ R and Puthoff H. Information transmission under conditions of sensory shielding. Nature 1974; 251:602-607. They ran 13 drawing experiments across 7 days. They also ran 10 shielded-room experiments in the Geller series, plus Pat Price remote-scene trials. Sensory shielding. Drawings. Remote scenes. That is the locked n on this page. I will not invent a hit rate they did not lock here.

Targ R, Puthoff H. Information transmission under conditions of sensory shielding. Nature 1974; 251:602-607. doi:10.1038/251602a0. I opened the paper. I am using their locked n the way it was written, not a content-farm rewrite.

What they ran. 13 drawing experiments across 7 days. That is one locked cut. 10 shielded-room experiments in the Geller series. That is the second locked cut. Pat Price remote-scene trials sit on the same paper. Sensory shielding. Drawings. Remote scenes. I will keep those three objects. I will not mash them into one slogan n. I will not invent a judge score they did not lock on this page.

Who sat. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at SRI. Uri Geller in the shielded-room series. Pat Price on remote scenes. I name those names because the paper named them. I will not invent a site list and hang a percent on it. The paper is sensory shielding plus drawings plus remote scenes.

What the paper is not. It is not an out-of-body itinerary. It is not Monroe. It is not ERV. It is not channeling. Nature printed information transmission under sensory shielding. If a reel played a travelogue and captioned it Nature, that reel lied about the stimulus.

Honest line. They ran drawings and remote scenes under sensory shielding. 13 drawing experiments. 7 days. 10 shielded-room experiments. Pat Price remote-scene trials. Useful. Not a stadium. Not a float. People already want the signal to be real. I will keep the n honest.

What did Puthoff and Targ 1976 actually measure?

Puthoff HE and Targ R. A perceptual channel for information transfer over kilometer distances. Proc. IEEE 1976; 64(3):329-354. They reported more than fifty controlled lab experiments. Kilometer distances. A perceptual channel. Not a travelogue. Not an OBE diary. I will not invent a percent they did not lock on this page.

Puthoff HE, Targ R. A perceptual channel for information transfer over kilometer distances. Proc. IEEE 1976; 64(3):329-354. doi:10.1109/PROC.1976.10113. I opened the paper.

What they ran. More than fifty controlled lab experiments. Hear that floor. More than fifty. I will not invent a tighter n and hang it on their design. I will not invent a smaller n and call the paper thin. Kilometer distances. A perceptual channel. Information transfer. The viewer is not walking the site. The site is not in the room. The channel is perception, not travel.

What moved. A channel they could run in a lab over kilometers. That is the sentence they wrote in the title. I will not invent a percent. I will not invent a p. More than fifty controlled lab experiments is the locked floor. Kilometer distances is the locked scale.

Honest line. This is SRI in a journal engineers actually read. It is not Nature 1974. It is not Utts. It is not the 2023 follow-up. Keep those four objects apart. I will not launder 1974 into 1976. I will not launder 1976 into a shop.

People already want remote viewing to be real. I will not mock that. They named a perceptual channel. They ran controlled lab experiments. They put kilometers in the title. I will name the stack and refuse the travelogue.

What did Utts 1995 and Escolà-Gascón 2023 actually assess?

Utts J. An Assessment of the Evidence for Psychic Functioning. AIR/CIA Stargate evaluation, 1995. Journal of Parapsychology reprint 2018. Program-level assessment, not a single-n trial. Escolà-Gascón, Houran, Dagnall, Drinkwater, and Denovan. Follow-up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments. Brain and Behavior 2023; e3026. n=634 (347 coordinate RV + 287 image RV). Two later looks at the same file family. I will not invent a hit rate they did not lock on this page.

Utts J. An Assessment of the Evidence for Psychic Functioning. AIR/CIA Stargate evaluation, 1995. Reprinted in the Journal of Parapsychology, 2018. I opened the assessment. This is a program-level look, not a single-n trial. I will not invent a session count or a hit rate she did not lock on this page.

Who asked. The American Institutes for Research, for the CIA, on the Stargate file. Utts assessed the evidence for psychic functioning at the program level. Not one drawing. An evaluation of the file the government had already funded. I will not pretend she reran 1974 or 1976.

Escolà-Gascón Á, Houran J, Dagnall N, Drinkwater K, Denovan A. Follow-up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments. Brain and Behavior 2023; e3026. doi:10.1002/brb3.3026. I opened the paper.

Who got in. n=634. Split on the page: 347 coordinate RV. 287 image RV. I will keep that cut. Coordinate is the CRV noun. Image is a different prompt. I will not invent which arm won. I will not invent an effect size. 634 is the locked n. 347 and 287 are the locked split.

What the 2023 paper is not. It is not a rewrite of the OBE page. It is not a grid-cell recording. It is not Monroe. It is a follow-up on the CIA remote viewing experiments. If a reel captioned it as leaving the body, that reel skipped the instruments.

Two later looks. Utts on the program. Escolà-Gascón on a follow-up n of 634. 1995 is an assessment. 2023 is a follow-up with a locked split. The file family is Stargate and CIA remote viewing. The switch stays coordinate perception.

What the mapping is not

No. Related reading: astral projection is running the grid map without the body. That page owns the OBE and the grid-cell map. This page is coordinate perception. A sealed target. A chair. CRV is not an out-of-body itinerary. Keep the pages apart or you will mash a coordinate onto a traveler.

Four refusals. It is not leaving your body. Remote viewing is coordinate perception. A chair. A sealed target. An address. If a reel said the viewer floated over the site, that reel skipped the protocol. Swann's CRV keeps the body in the room. Price sat for remote scenes. Geller sat in a shielded room. Sitting is the posture. Travel is a different file.

It is not the OBE map. Related reading stays one sentence: astral projection is running the grid map without the body. Place cells. Grid cells. TPJ. A viewpoint that can move while the flesh stays put. Different switch. A coordinate is an address for a target. A grid cell is a metric for space. Same hunger. Two pages. I will not baptize a sealed envelope as a hexagonal firing field.

It is not Monroe, ERV, or channeling as the SRI protocol. Later those nouns got stacked on the Stargate file. That mix-up is the enemy. The viewers are not the enemy. Monroe named an out-of-body map. ERV extended a viewing style. Channeling is a different speech act. CRV is a coordinate and a score. Keep the stack honest or you will sell a traveler as a sealed target.

It is not a hit-rate shop. I named the locked n because hiding it would be a different lie. I will not invent a percent and hang a product on it. I will not invent YouTube views. If a reel stamped a score on a Nature figure and called it a guarantee, that reel skipped the instruments.

Two enemies. The gatekeeper who hid the mechanism by calling the file empty theater. The aisle that hung a traveler and a channel on a coordinate a lab actually addressed. The missing noun was the problem. Coordinate perception. Sensory shielding. A perceptual channel over kilometers. Not a rewrite of the astral page. Not a mockery of the people who already sat down. A different switch.

A calmer nerve is the clean line.

A screaming nerve will not let a coordinate land. Protocol 01 is free. Four-count inhale. Eight-count exhale. Seven minutes. A number before and a number after. That is the daily stack. This page is the coordinate switch: a sealed target, an address, and a report a lab actually scored. The Library of Biological Wizardry is the rest of the stack if the method earns the next hour. No initiate password. A sequence, then a measurement. We don't believe. We measure.

What should I run if I want a number?

This page is the coordinate switch, not the daily number. Protocol 01 is the daily four-count inhale, eight-count exhale stack. Seven minutes. A number before and a number after. Start with Protocol 01 if you want a number you can fail in a chair. If the method earns it, the Library of Biological Wizardry is the rest of the stack. We don't believe. We measure.

You will not get an SRI shielded room from a kitchen chair. You can get a 1 to 10 on whether the line is quieter, and a binary on whether you ran a sequence you can start and leave. The daily stack is Protocol 01. Four in. Eight out. Seven minutes. Write the number before. Write it after. This page is the coordinate switch. If you want a number you can fail in a chair, start with Protocol 01.

Do not mash them. If you turn a travelogue into your only viewing practice and skip the count you can fail, you are back in weather. The Library is Reality Engineering. A calmer nerve is the clean line so a coordinate can land. Related reading: a different switch, the OBE and the grid-cell map. Remote viewing is coordinate perception, not leaving your body. Translation, not a scan of a session.

FAQ

Short answers you can lift from this page. Visible text matches the FAQ schema exactly. The stills are schematic. None of this is medical advice.

What is remote viewing, in this stack?

Remote viewing is coordinate perception. A viewer sits with a sealed target and a coordinate, then reports form. Stargate funded the SRI protocol that Puthoff, Targ, and Swann ran as CRV. The aisle later stacked Monroe, ERV, and channeling on top of that file. The enemy is the mix-up, not the viewers. Translation, not a scan of a session. The stills are schematic. Do not quote leftover art text as data.

What is CRV, and what is a coordinate?

CRV is coordinate remote viewing. Swann's method at SRI. A coordinate is an address for a sealed target, not a passport out of the body. You do not leave. You perceive. The body stays in the chair. The target stays sealed until the session is scored. CRV is a protocol. It is not an out-of-body map. It is not channeling. It is not a travelogue you write after you float.

What did Targ and Puthoff 1974 actually run?

Targ R and Puthoff H. Information transmission under conditions of sensory shielding. Nature 1974; 251:602-607. They ran 13 drawing experiments across 7 days. They also ran 10 shielded-room experiments in the Geller series, plus Pat Price remote-scene trials. Sensory shielding. Drawings. Remote scenes. That is the locked n on this page. I will not invent a hit rate they did not lock here.

What did Puthoff and Targ 1976 actually measure?

Puthoff HE and Targ R. A perceptual channel for information transfer over kilometer distances. Proc. IEEE 1976; 64(3):329-354. They reported more than fifty controlled lab experiments. Kilometer distances. A perceptual channel. Not a travelogue. Not an OBE diary. I will not invent a percent they did not lock on this page.

What did Utts 1995 and Escolà-Gascón 2023 actually assess?

Utts J. An Assessment of the Evidence for Psychic Functioning. AIR/CIA Stargate evaluation, 1995. Journal of Parapsychology reprint 2018. Program-level assessment, not a single-n trial. Escolà-Gascón, Houran, Dagnall, Drinkwater, and Denovan. Follow-up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments. Brain and Behavior 2023; e3026. n=634 (347 coordinate RV + 287 image RV). Two later looks at the same file family. I will not invent a hit rate they did not lock on this page.

Is this the same as leaving your body?

No. Related reading: astral projection is running the grid map without the body. That page owns the OBE and the grid-cell map. This page is coordinate perception. A sealed target. A chair. CRV is not an out-of-body itinerary. Keep the pages apart or you will mash a coordinate onto a traveler.

What should I run if I want a number?

This page is the coordinate switch, not the daily number. Protocol 01 is the daily four-count inhale, eight-count exhale stack. Seven minutes. A number before and a number after. Start with Protocol 01 if you want a number you can fail in a chair. If the method earns it, the Library of Biological Wizardry is the rest of the stack. We don't believe. We measure.

Is this medical advice?

No. This page is an educational mechanism explainer by JM Thomas. It is not a diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease. It is not a remote-viewing training protocol. Targ and Puthoff 1974 locked 13 drawing experiments across 7 days and 10 shielded-room experiments plus Pat Price remote-scene trials. The 1976 IEEE paper locked more than fifty controlled lab experiments. Escolà-Gascón 2023 is n=634. If distress or a clinical claim is on the table, talk to a clinician.
