Experiment I conducted for my Atlantic University TP6100 Course – February 11, 2020.
Phase I: Precognitive Impression and Site Drawing
I began the assigned remote viewing exercise at 2:30 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday, April 11, with the intention of selecting a location at 4:30 p.m. and then visiting the selected site immediately following. Yesterday, I developed a list of 10 potential inside and outside locations, typed, printed, and cut them into 10 separate pieces of paper. I placed them in an envelope for use in Phase II, which are as follows:
- My sanctum in the attic
- Turnaround location for my walk by the creek
- The turf field behind my house at Linway Terrace Park
- Video studio in my basement
- Holding pond for our development
- Starbucks at Chesterbrook Plaza
- Path to Bryant Branch Road
- Liberty gas station close to my home
- Cul-de-sac by Cottonwood Street.
- Safeway in the Chesterbrook Plaza
As I sat quietly in my chair, after turning off Pandora (I learned this with last week’s experiment), I immediately began having images of woods, and the brownish grass that surrounds the holding pond. I saw an asphalt path as well and the holding pond location jumped into my mind. I didn’t want to assume it was that location so quickly, so I randomly ran through some of the other locations on the list in my mind to see how they registered and as a way to clear my mind of a bit.
I still kept coming back to the same image of the holding pond area at a slightly raised vantage point, looking down at it from a 45-degree angle with trees surrounding it. I’ve never actually seen it from above the earth, but it’s how my mind was able to pick up the brown grass and bare trees lining the back of the pond. It’s the first and strongest image I had.
Despite not having an artistic bone in my body, I attempted a rudimentary drawing, which appears below. I also examined it from other angles as the instructions suggest, and jotted down some notes. These include such things as “woods behind,” “brown grass around the pond,” “winter colors,” “no water in the pond,” and “gateway to the woods.”
Phase II: Site Selection and Visit
At 4:30 p.m., I shook the envelope and stuck my hand in to shuffle them a bit more. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the pieces of paper as I separated them in order to pick one out. And the winner is…The cul-de-sac by Cottonwood Street. I was in the right neighborhood (literally) but it was not the holding pond.
What struck me the most about my guess and the actual location is how similar they are as the two photos illustrate below. I was convinced during the remote viewing phase that the selected location would be outside and that it would not be the gas station since I had a very strong sense of trees and the brownish color of dormant grass. Both of which are present in the Cottonwood Street cul-de-sac. There is also a brownish color of the sidewalk at both locations as well. I did envision more of the baren trees that surround the holding pond, and there aren’t nearly as many at the Cottonwood cul-de-sac.
When I went to look at the cul-de-sac, I was surprised to see how much more open it was to the trees, and conversely, how much the Leeland Cyprus trees block the view of holding pond. I had to walk up almost to the entrance of the pond to get the photo I took. In my vision, which is reflected in the drawing, I did not depict the trees at all in front and believed it to be open to the street.
Finally, a significant point I learned, which was suggested in the instructions, is to make the sites vastly different from each other. I now understand the reason for this and I will take into consideration for future experiments. Interestingly, when I selected these two sites initially, I didn’t believe them to be that similar.
