Eight Martinis - No 10

Magazine Overview

*eight martinis, Issue 10, November 2013, is a biannual magazine dedicated to the art and practice of Remote Viewing (RV). This issue, published by Daz Smith, features a diverse range of articles exploring the capabilities and applications of RV.

Cover Story: Remote Viewing and The God Particle

The cover story, "The Hidden Gem: Hitomi & the God Particle" by Dick Allgire, details the astounding remote viewing work of Japanese viewer Hitomi Akamatsu. Akamatsu was tasked with viewing the Higgs-Boson particle event at CERN, a feat described as perceiving the 'bridge between energy and matter.' The article highlights Akamatsu's advanced training and her ability to achieve profound 'moments of clarity' during sessions. Her work, documented in a video, impressed physicists like Thomas Campbell, who noted her perception of matter being related to consciousness. The article also touches upon the cultural nuances of displaying one's work in Japan, referencing proverbs like 'The clever hawk hides its claws.'

In Search of a Cure for Cancer

Another significant article, "In Search of a Cure for Cancer" by Tunde Atunrase, explores the potential of remote viewing and psychic functioning in addressing cancer. Atunrase recounts his experience in a remote viewing training session where the target was 'Cure for Cancer.' The session revealed a deep connection to the land and its energy, leading to the conclusion that prevention through diet and agricultural soil regeneration might be more crucial than a direct 'cure.' The article also discusses the broader concept of 'love' as a powerful healing force, referencing works by Gregg Braden and William Bengston, and suggesting that a focus on prevention and natural health is paramount.

Title: Eight Martinis
Issue: 21
Volume: 8
Date: March 2010
Cover Headline: "STEP OUT OF THE BOX" A Time-Sensitive, Front Loaded Case Study HOTEL MONTANA, HAITI – JANUARY 12th, 2010

This issue of "Eight Martinis" focuses on a compelling case study involving the use of remote viewing and reverse speech in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The primary focus is on the search for missing individuals at the Hotel Montana, particularly humanitarian worker Walt Ratterman and his colleague Herbert Kanzki. The magazine also delves into the theory and practice of remote viewing and reverse speech, featuring articles by prominent figures in the field.

"STEP OUT OF THE BOX": Hotel Montana Case Study

The central article details a remote viewing investigation initiated by a colleague (DH) to locate a missing person in Haiti following the devastating earthquake. Angela Thompson Smith Ph.D. (ATS), a remote viewing analyst, conducted Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) sessions. The initial sessions identified a male, later confirmed to be Walt Ratterman, who had fallen and was severely injured. Subsequent sessions aimed to describe the surroundings and identify landmarks to aid searchers.

The case involved the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, which was reduced to rubble. Two hundred out of 300 guests were reported missing after the earthquake. The search effort involved multiple remote viewers and was coordinated through a special Facebook page. The article highlights the use of target coordinates and frontloading (pre-session information) to guide the viewers.

Feedback from the case manager indicated that the initial remote viewing data was consistent with known information. Aerial photos of the hotel were provided, adding a somber element to the investigation. The search continued for weeks, with additional viewers joining the effort. The consensus among viewers was that the men were likely trapped under rubble.

Ultimately, the remains of Walt Ratterman and Herbert Kanzki were recovered and identified on February 7th, 2010. The article includes a poignant quote from Walt's widow, Jean Ratterman, expressing gratitude for the remote viewers' efforts and Walt's humanitarian legacy. Walt Ratterman was known for his work installing photovoltaic systems in impoverished communities worldwide.

Reverse Speech: A Powerful Combination

This section, authored by Gail Clayton Husick, explores the integration of reverse speech analysis with remote viewing. Reverse speech is defined as subconscious communication that occurs backwards during spoken language. The article explains that reverse speech can provide substantive information, confirm or contradict forward speech, and act as a monitor for remote viewing sessions.

Several examples illustrate the application of reverse speech in real-world projects. One case involved a woman seeking information about her missing husband, where reverse speech provided clues about the motive and perpetrators, including the name "Johan" and potential involvement of Russians. Another example details a remote viewing project to identify the birth mother of an adopted man named Alex. Reverse speech reversals provided potential names like "Rose" and "Rosetta," and offered insights into the circumstances of Alex's conception, revealing that the initial story of rape was a fabrication.

The article discusses the challenges of reverse speech analysis, including distinguishing genuine reversals from gibberish, avoiding analyst projection, interpreting metaphorical language, and the significant cost in time and resources required for analysis.

Ground Report from a CRV Newbie

Written by Ronald D. Kuhn and Teresa Frisch, this article offers a perspective on learning Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) from a beginner's standpoint. Ron Kuhn describes his journey as a "CRV Newbie," emphasizing the importance of practice, understanding the structure of a session, and developing a vocabulary for gestalts (mental images).

Kuhn stresses that remote viewing is about describing the target, not naming it. He shares his experience with a practice target, "The Longest Train in Canada," where his sketch, while not perfectly matching the provided photo, demonstrated site contact by identifying a "Place of Power." This highlights the learning process where initial perceptions might be broad but accurate.

Teresa Frisch adds commentary, emphasizing that the learning process for remote viewers, especially those working without monitors, can be challenging due to unrealistic expectations of immediate "bulls-eye" accuracy. She advocates for a supportive environment where viewers can learn from their experiences and develop their skills over time.

The article also touches upon the different approaches to promoting remote viewing: the "big splash" method, the "slow, quiet way" (active and passive approaches), and the "stay in the closet" method. The authors suggest that regardless of how one engages with remote viewing, the growing awareness of its existence is contributing to a collective understanding.

Title: Eight Martinis
Issue: 41
Date: Not specified
Content Focus: Remote Viewing, Psi Sketches, Skepticism

This issue of "Eight Martinis" delves into the fascinating world of remote viewing, with a particular focus on the "pictolanguage" of psi sketches. The magazine explores how remote viewers translate psychic impressions into visual drawings, examining commonalities and characteristics across different viewers.

The "Pictolanguage" of Psi Sketches

Jon Knowles, in his article "The 'Pictolanguage' of Psi Sketches," introduces the concept that remote viewers often produce drawings as well as words. He questions whether these drawings have common elements and proposes that they represent a basic psychic language. Knowles notes that viewers' sketches tend to capture essential forms and shapes, sometimes with inaccuracies or omissions, and that the viewer's conscious mind might misinterpret the subconscious output. He cites examples from viewers like Mark White, Alexis Poquiz, and JFK, and references Ingo Swann's observations on the subject.

Swann, referred to as the "father of remote viewing," is quoted stating that psi drawings suggest a basic psychic language that has gone unnoticed by parapsychologists. He explains that this language translates psychic information into basic forms and shapes recognized by the psychic system, and that the drawing mechanism is usually limited to this task, with artistic rendering being an attempt to fill in perceived gaps.

Mary Craig Sinclair is mentioned as an early practitioner whose drawings, like that of a calf instead of a football, illustrate how viewers might mislabel their subconscious output. The article also highlights that viewers may capture only a part of the target or add details not present in the original.

Remote Viewing Examples and Analysis

The issue presents several examples of remote viewing sessions and sketches. One notable example is from Hitomi Akamatsu, who conducted a remote viewing session for a David Morehouse training target of "The Piazza San Marco, Venice." Akamatsu, who studied brain and cognitive sciences, is currently working with Fukushima evacuees and has a background in psychology and alternative health therapies. Her remote viewing session, worked blind, is presented with accompanying ideograms and probe data, followed by a "Target Feedback" section describing Piazza San Marco, Venice, Italy.

Another section features Ronald D. Kuhn, a graduate in Data Processing and Computer Science, who became a remote viewer seeking a lifelong learning experience. His sketch of a feedback photo for a remote viewing session is presented as remarkable, matching the post-session, verifiable feedback photo.

Remote Viewing vs. Its Skeptics

Ingo Swann contributes a significant piece titled "Remote Viewing vs. Its Skeptics." He argues that skepticism towards psychic phenomena, including remote viewing, is often based on intellectualism and hearsay rather than facts. Swann traces the historical evolution of the term "skepticism," noting how its popular usage shifted from "thoughtful consideration" to "opposition." He criticizes "Machiavellian debunking" tactics that aim to expose perceived shams without proper investigation.

Swann posits that the core issue is the actual extent of human sentience and the existence of psychic superpowers within our species. He contends that these faculties are permanent and present in each generation, regardless of culture. He criticizes the mainstream scientific and philosophical communities for largely ignoring or dismissing research into these superpowers, suggesting a potential desire to suppress their identification and development. Swann draws a parallel between modern ridicule of sensitives and historical "pogroms" against perceived deviants.
