Interview with Alexis Champion
Alexis Champion, holding a PhD in computer science with a specialization in artificial intelligence, discusses his background in research and consultancy. He founded IRIS Intuition Consulting in 2008, introducing remote viewing to France. Champion has trained with RV pioneers like Stephan Schwartz, Paul H. Smith, and Lyn Buchanan. He leads consultancy projects, workshops, and courses for both companies and the public.
Champion describes his favorite book as "Illusions: The Adventures of a reluctant Messiah," film as "The Good, Bad & the Ugly," music as "Rhythmeen," and color as blue. He relaxes by spending time with his daughter and sweetheart, listening to music, reading, or watching TV, and enjoys running and swimming.
He views practicing RV, such as CRV, as a meditation technique that helps him become more aware of his thoughts and manage them. He also practices vipassana and Anapana meditation. Champion believes RV has changed his life by helping him evoke and control intuitive perceptions, allowing him to use both intuitive and logical methods to gather information.
For him, RV is central to understanding and practice. He is excited by RV's potential to help individuals and companies experience something greater than they imagine, fostering curiosity about themselves and the world. He emphasizes showing people that RV is a tool accessible to anyone and teaching them how to use it for achieving goals.
When advising scientists on understanding RV, Champion suggests studying non-locality (physics, parapsychology) and the processes of perception acquisition and processing. He proposes the "blue feather experiment" as a fun way to explore non-locality by setting shared intentions with a partner.
He views RV as a natural, normal science and art, and a way of living, encouraging others to "Do it! Because it's doable!" He believes RV has given him confidence that anything is possible with dedicated effort.
IRIS Intuition Consulting, founded by Champion, has grown significantly, with about 65% of its income from corporate clients, conducting approximately 1.5 interventions per week. They have reached nearly 100 people in corporations in the last six months, indicating a substantial and growing market for RV services.
Interview with Angela T. Smith
Angela T. Smith shares her background, starting in nursing and social work in the UK before becoming a medical researcher in NJ. Her interest in parapsychology led her to volunteer at Charles Honorton's psi Lab, PRL, at Princeton Junction, where she participated in Ganzfeld and micro-PK studies. She later transferred to the PEAR Lab, where she was hired after her research job ended. During her five years at PEAR, she was involved in precognitive remote perception (PRP) and micro-PK studies. Smith used a spontaneous form of ERV until the late 1990s, when she trained in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) with Paul Smith and Lyn Buchanan. She currently uses both CRV and ERV.
Her favorite book is Barbara Kingsolver's "Flight Behavior." Recent favorite films include "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," "Philomena," and "The Secret of Kells." Her current favorite music is "Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen." She appreciates the colors of southwestern skies.
Smith relaxes through cardio water aerobics, gardening, and socializing. She has been beta testing an online biofeedback meditation program called Wild Divine Online, which aids in body/mind coherence and meditative states. She finds meditation beneficial for entering "the zone" but notes it's better for cool-down than data gathering, though both Stephan Schwartz and Courtney Brown advocate its use.
She has experienced spontaneous psi throughout her life, including intuition and telepathy, and RV has helped her organize these abilities. CRV, in particular, acted as an "organizer" for her perceptions. Smith is interested in the "how" of RV – how it can be useful to society – rather than the "why," which she leaves to scientists.
When asked about specific experiments, Smith mentions a study on hand-preference (laterality) related to telepathy success, finding mixed-handers performed best. She also conducted a study on 20 RVers, noting a bias toward left-earedness in remote viewers compared to the general population, and found equal distribution for eye and foot preferences. These studies can be found on her website.
She notes that many remote viewers seem to have creative talents, a point she discussed with Ingo Swann, who explained that the six-stage CRV process is essentially art and creativity designed to be accepted by military higher-ups.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently emphasizes the practical applications and personal impact of Remote Viewing. The interviews reveal a common thread of RV being a tool that enhances awareness, fosters curiosity, and helps individuals achieve goals. There's a strong belief in the normalcy of non-local perception and a desire to educate the public and integrate RV into everyday life and professional settings. The editorial stance, as reflected in Daz Smith's introduction and the content of the interviews, is one of promoting RV as a legitimate field of study and practice, honoring its pioneers, and encouraging its development and application for the benefit of society. The inclusion of the DIA document request hints at the historical and ongoing interest in such phenomena from intelligence agencies.
This issue of 'eight martinis' features in-depth interviews with two prominent remote viewers, Angela Smith and Coleen Marenich, exploring their backgrounds, methodologies, experiences, and visions for the future of remote viewing. The magazine also includes a segment on the CIA's classification of ESP and a brief mention of a UFO sighting.
Interview with Angela Smith
Angela Smith, a psychologist and parapsychologist with 30 years of experience, discusses her work in remote viewing (RV). She highlights a study by Michael Van Atta involving remote viewing of sick and healthy plants, noting that healing was an observed byproduct rather than an intended outcome. Smith emphasizes the diversity within the RV community and expresses a desire for greater cooperation between different schools of RV, citing the example of RV groups assisting in the Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
She addresses the ethical responsibilities of remote viewers, stressing the importance of using RV wisely and maintaining ethical standards, while also acknowledging the potential for individuals to react negatively to the reality-shaking nature of RV. Smith suggests a need for vetting potential students to mitigate such issues.
Regarding Remote Influencing (RI), Smith explains its responsible use for locating missing persons or encouraging missing teens to contact their families, emphasizing discretion and wisdom.
Smith recounts her scariest RV target: a case involving a kidnapped teenage boy and a 'Black Bruja' (witch), where efforts to rescue him failed. She also shares her most rewarding experience, the first project she was tasked with: searching for the downed plane of Antoine du Exupery, which was pivotal in confirming her belief in RV.
She has experience with off-planet targets, having remote viewed the Rings of Saturn, which taught her that off-planet RV is a valid skill, even if immediate feedback isn't always available. Smith believes that esoteric targets, while potentially lacking solid feedback, should be open to remote viewing, comparing it to how scientific understanding evolves.
Smith also shares a UFO sighting experience in Boulder City, NV, where she witnessed a large, dark grey, cylindrical object moving silently.
She recommends three books for new remote viewers: 'Silver Threads: 25 years of Parapsychology Research', Robert Monroe's 'Journeys out of the Body', and her own book, 'Remote Perceptions'. Her role model is Ingo Swann.
Smith considers the formation of the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) in 1999 a significant accomplishment. She states that RV has profoundly changed her, enhancing her intuitive abilities and shaping her life and career.
Interview with Coleen Marenich
Coleen Marenich details her extensive CRV training, starting in the late 1990s with Lyn Buchanan, and progressing through Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Post-grad, and CRV Project Management. She facilitated CRV courses in Canada, mentored students, and co-hosted online discussions. Marenich developed online programs, including the CRV Operational Certification Program, to train professional CRVers. She co-presented with Lyn Buchanan at the IRVA conference on developing standards in the RV industry.
She mentions her favorite books: Dan Brown's works, Michael Talbot's 'Holographic Universe', and Lyn Buchanan's 'Seventh Sense'. Her favorite movie is 'Avatar', and she enjoys the haunting guitar music of Peter-Jack Rainbird. Her preferred color is blue.
Marenich relaxes by listening to music and Hemi-synch meditation recordings. She uses meditation and T'ai Chi Chih to enhance her RV practice and self-awareness. She notes that since beginning CRV training, she has experienced an increase in spontaneous psi occurrences, including precognitive awareness, dreams, synchronicities, and an awareness of ghostly entities.
She views CRV as a catalyst for her other natural psi experiences. Marenich is excited by the discovery of interconnectedness and the ability of RV to transcend time and space. She suggests that scientists focus on understanding the RV process itself by taking a CRV class.
She proposes experiments related to neuroscience and CRV, such as brain imaging during RV sessions. She recommends watching projects and people who uphold high professional standards and ethics.
Marenich describes her artistic side as limited to drawing stick figures but finds writing a way to connect with a 'bigger thing' and discover information.
Her hopes for the RV community include high ethical and professional standards, increased collaboration, and less bickering. She sees the community undergoing a shift as ex-military members retire and pass on knowledge to a new generation.
She advocates for teaching ethics alongside RV methods and for a collaborative effort among trainers to raise standards. Marenich believes that the discussion of ethics in the RV community is not open enough and needs to address consequences for breaking ethical rules and the concept of 'self-policing'. She raises ethical questions about session work, such as conducting sessions on murder scenes without prior knowledge or using RV for personal gain.
Marenich recounts her scariest RV target: a seemingly benign 'location' target that turned out to be related to the murder of a missing teenage girl. This experience left her feeling overwhelmed by dark, evil energy for five months until a shaman helped her. She describes this as a 'game changer' in how future team projects were handled.
Her most rewarding experience was a session where she achieved 100% accuracy in her summary, which was a profound moment of understanding and connection to the universe.
She identifies Lyn and Linda Buchanan as role models for their dedication to teaching and helping others in the RV community. She also commends the interviewer, Daz, for his work in promoting remote viewing.
Marenich considers the successful implementation and acquisition of the first online CRV Operational Certification Training Program her most significant accomplishment.
She states that RV has changed her life in ways that are difficult to articulate due to the limitations of language.
Her advice for developing remote viewers is to read extensively, find qualified trainers, engage with the community, adopt high ethical standards, and share experiences.
CIA Classification of ESP
This section presents a letter from Michele Meeks, CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator, to John Greenewald, dated September 24, 2014. It addresses a FOIA request for information on Extrasensory Perception (ESP) submitted to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The CIA located its own material related to the request and determined it to be classified and exempt from disclosure under FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3), citing the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 and the National Security Act of 1947. Greenewald's question is about what is classified regarding ESP and the CIA's potential activities.
UFO Sighting
Coleen Marenich briefly describes witnessing a UFO in Boulder City, NV, with about a dozen others. The object was large, dark grey, cylindrical, and moved silently, too slow to be an aircraft and too fast to be a blimp or sky banner.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the personal experiences, ethical considerations, and future development of remote viewing. Both interviews highlight the transformative impact of RV on the individuals and the community. There is a strong emphasis on the need for professionalism, ethical conduct, and collaboration within the RV field. The inclusion of the CIA's classification of ESP suggests an underlying editorial stance that acknowledges the ongoing interest and potential sensitivity surrounding psychic phenomena and government involvement. The magazine appears to advocate for rigorous training, ethical practice, and open discussion within the remote viewing community.
This issue of "eight martinis" (issue 21) features in-depth interviews with two prominent figures in the remote viewing community: Courtney Brown and David Morehouse. The magazine delves into their personal experiences, methodologies, and perspectives on the phenomenon of remote viewing and its place in science and society.
Interview with Courtney Brown
Courtney Brown, a mathematician and social scientist, discusses his work as the Director and founder of The Farsight Institute. He explains his personal practices, including sketching and digital art, and highlights his book on remote viewing research developed using U.S. military methods. Brown emphasizes the importance of identifying what makes a target a target and shares his favorite book ("The Law of Attraction"), film ("Brother John"), and music ("Not Ready to Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks and "Resistance" by Muse).
He advocates for daily meditation, specifically the TM Sidhi Program, as crucial for quieting the mind for successful remote viewing. Brown notes that spontaneous psi occurrences have increased for him, and he actively triggers them. He believes remote viewing will one day be widely recognized, transforming the planet for the better.
When addressing scientists, Brown suggests they focus on understanding the RV process itself, but expresses skepticism about their receptiveness due to vested interests and resistance to new ideas. He proposes experiments but cannot discuss them until completion due to the blind nature of remote viewing sessions. He recommends The Farsight Institute's projects, including those on the 9/11 events and the Great Pyramid of Giza, as starting points for those interested in remote viewing.
Brown also touches upon his artistic side, practicing drawing and videography, and emphasizes the importance of art skills in describing remote viewing perceptions. He sees dreams as a way to glimpse potential futures and advises remote viewers to avoid negativity and criticism, encouraging them to focus on their own contributions and projects.
He stresses the need for more experiments to lay the groundwork for remote viewing, cautioning against people who claim to know the "real deal." Brown believes remote viewers have ethical responsibilities, urging them to be examples of openness to new ideas and to avoid beliefs that restrict what can be remote viewed. He shares that his scariest target was not scary, but his most rewarding experience was remote viewing an alien civilization, which he perceived as God learning and living.
Brown's advice for remote viewers includes focusing on the present, understanding life's dualities, and not chasing enigmas or conspiracy theories. He advocates for living life fully, focusing on personal purpose, and avoiding sensationalism. He also suggests reading physics and understanding the scientific basis of remote viewing, rather than viewing it as mystic vapor.
Interview with David Morehouse
David Morehouse, a former Army officer and Special Operations Infantryman, shares his background and his distinct approach to remote viewing, which he categorizes as Coordinate and Extended Remote Viewing. He emphasizes that he never claimed natural psychic ability and focused on his military career goals.
Morehouse's favorite book is the King James Version of the Bible, and he appreciates films and documentaries that are devoid of commercials and move him emotionally, citing "Honour Flight" as a particularly moving documentary. His musical taste is varied, but he enjoys Neil Young for his simple guitar music. He now prefers black and earth tones over his former preference for olive drab.
For relaxation, Morehouse enjoys spending time with his wife, watching movies, cooking, traveling, and going out with friends. He previously engaged in long-distance running and cycling, which he found beneficial for mental respite.
Morehouse views psi abilities as natural human abilities that develop in nurturing environments. He believes there is no tangible separation between consciousness levels and that the ability to see beyond the physical is inherent. He does not use meditation or martial arts for remote viewing but emphasizes the importance of a balanced life.
He distinguishes his approach from others by focusing on military-trained methods and not acknowledging retitled phenomena. He practices Coordinate and Extended Remote Viewing, finding other labels unnecessary.
Morehouse's favorite book is the King James Version of the Bible, which he finds profound and meaningful. He avoids television but watches movies and documentaries that are emotionally impactful. He enjoys music that suits his mood and now prefers black and earth tones for clothing.

He expresses a strong preference for military-trained remote viewing methods, distinguishing them from other approaches. He practices Coordinate and Extended Remote Viewing.
Morehouse describes his most rewarding experience as remote viewing an alien civilization, which he interpreted as God's growth and learning. He has no fear associated with remote viewing targets, viewing them as part of the human condition and opportunities for learning.
He has been tasked with off-planet targets like the Moon and Mars, which taught him that humans are not the center of existence but rather an interesting spectacle.
Morehouse advises remote viewers to focus on personal improvement, humility, and community. He believes in ethical responsibilities within the remote viewing community and states he has always strived for integrity and honesty, avoiding sensationalism, fear-mongering, and unfulfilled promises.
He criticizes those who use remote viewing for sensationalistic purposes or to promote conspiracy theories, viewing it as corrupt and detrimental to the phenomenon's potential. Morehouse emphasizes that remote viewing is a tool to foster knowing and possibility, not to discredit it.
He believes the experiment of life is about self-discovery and finding one's purpose. He suggests writing down thoughts and observations daily to capture insights and learn from experiences. He also advocates for focusing on the present moment and avoiding news that promotes fear.
Morehouse encourages remote viewers to focus on self-improvement, to stop competing with themselves, and to avoid using remote viewing to solve the world's problems or to prove themselves to skeptics. He believes that true mastery comes from centering oneself and living one's own life.
He views life as a constantly changing experiment that tests individuals. He advises capturing daily insights and using the dream state for learning. He also suggests avoiding negative influences like news media.
Morehouse believes that remote viewing is a tool that opens eyes to possibility and promise, enabling individuals to move from believing to knowing. He emphasizes personal responsibility and integrity, rejecting sensationalism and fear-based predictions.
He has been tasked with off-planet targets and believes that humanity is not alone in the universe.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of remote viewing, its scientific underpinnings, and its practical application in personal and professional development. Both interviews emphasize a grounded, scientific approach, distancing remote viewing from mysticism and sensationalism. The editorial stance appears to favor rigorous research, personal integrity, and the responsible use of remote viewing as a tool for understanding and self-improvement, rather than as a means to predict the future or solve global enigmas. There is a strong undercurrent of encouraging critical thinking, personal responsibility, and community collaboration within the remote viewing field.
This issue of 'eight martinis' features in-depth interviews with two prominent figures in the fields of remote viewing and psychic phenomena: David Morehouse and Debra Lynne Katz. The magazine delves into their personal journeys, professional experiences, and perspectives on the nature and application of psychic abilities.
David Morehouse: A Military Remote Viewer's Journey
David Morehouse, a former military trainer and author, shares his extensive experiences, beginning with his deliberate pursuit of challenging training within the Army, including basic airborne, Ranger School, and Pathfinder School. He highlights his success in military training schools and his command of two companies, including an Airborne Rifle Company and an Airborne Ranger Company.
Morehouse recounts his recruitment into a Remote Viewing unit, stemming from experiences related to a head injury. He describes the training as intriguing and uplifting but lacking in structure and discipline, with atrocious feedback. He credits his trainer, Gabrielle Pettingale, for his perseverance. He notes that the unit comprised individuals from diverse backgrounds, including intelligence officers and analysts, but he felt like an outsider.
He discusses the incident involving a downed aircraft and the loss of Mike Foley, his co-pilot, and crew chief, an event that profoundly impacted him and later fueled his desire to use Remote Viewing to find answers. He admits to initially placing too much faith in Remote Viewing's capabilities.
Morehouse addresses the controversy surrounding his departure from the military, clarifying that he was not forced out but was on orders for Command and General Staff College. He details a court-martial process initiated by a 2-Star General with whom he had a history of conflict, stemming from the General's alleged responsibility for a Soldier's death. Morehouse believes the adultery charges were selectively enforced and not provable, but the General pushed for prosecution. He was advised by legal counsel to walk away, resulting in a recommendation for an "Other Than Honourable" discharge, which he later had overturned.
He expresses his disappointment with the Remote Viewing community, which he feels sometimes perpetuates negativity and allegations. He emphasizes that he does not engage in public challenges but relies on evidence to contradict false recollections.
Morehouse also touches upon Ingo Swann's CRV structure, noting that while principles remain, techniques may vary. He advises new remote viewers to read widely, including critical perspectives, and to focus on the science and practical application of the skill.
Debra Lynne Katz: A Multifaceted Psychic Practitioner
Debra Lynne Katz, author of several books on psychic abilities, provides an overview of her background, which began with an awareness of psi phenomena at age five. She pursued a Master's degree in Social Work and worked as a Federal Probation officer before dedicating herself to studying and practicing clairvoyant reading, healing, and remote viewing.
Katz describes her eclectic approach to training, emphasizing that different methodologies develop distinct aspects of one's abilities. She has studied virtually every type of remote viewing methodology, including Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), Associative Remote Viewing (ARV), and Extended Remote Viewing. She currently lives in Southern California and continues to engage in remote viewing activities, including sessions for missing person cases and experiments.
She highlights the complementary nature of various psychic practices, such as clairvoyant reading, mediumship training, and remote viewing, each offering unique insights and skill development. Katz advocates for learning from multiple teachers and engaging with different communities to gain a broader understanding.
Katz shares her favorite book, film, and bands, and reveals that her relaxation often involves more remote viewing, spending time with her son, and watching TV series. She also enjoys gardening and riding her cruiser.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The issue consistently emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, ethical application of psychic abilities, and the need for critical thinking when evaluating information, particularly within the remote viewing community. Both Morehouse and Katz highlight the value of rigorous training, practical application, and a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the potential and limitations of these fields. The magazine appears to promote a grounded, evidence-based approach to psychic phenomena, cautioning against sensationalism and unsubstantiated claims, while celebrating the personal growth and insights that can be gained through dedicated practice.
This issue of "Eight Martinis" features an extensive interview with Debra, a remote viewer, discussing her personal journey, techniques, and insights into the field of remote viewing and psychic abilities. The magazine delves into various aspects of remote viewing, from meditation practices and spontaneous psi phenomena to the scientific study and future potential of the discipline.
Debra's Remote Viewing Journey and Techniques
Debra shares her personal experiences, including how she integrates remote viewing into her life, even using it from her private pilot's plane. She emphasizes the importance of meditation techniques, not just for accessing psychic information but also for energetic separation and grounding after a session, especially when viewing locations or events.
She details how remote viewing can be energetically messy and lead to feelings of being discombobulated, spacey, or unfocused. Her techniques involve visualizing a grounding cord and using imagery to release emotions and detach from the session. She notes that while some believe information comes solely from the subconscious, she finds that much of it registers in the conscious mind first.
Debra also discusses the phenomenon of 'body intelligence,' which she believes is related to motor automatism, where actions like writing or sketching occur without conscious thought of the specific notes or movements. She provides an example of sketching a zigzagging road that later matched the target photo.
Spontaneous Psi and Evolving Perceptions
Debra describes experiencing spontaneous psi occurrences, such as smelling things on her television before they appear, knowing details about news stories before they are revealed, and experiencing clear telepathic communication. She also notes how her husband's actions are sometimes perceived by her before he even leaves the house.
She recounts an incident of feeling a searing pain in her hand, which later turned out to be her friend's injury, highlighting a shared physical experience.
Areas of Excitement and Curiosity in Remote Viewing
Debra expresses excitement about the 'body intelligence' aspect of remote viewing, which she feels is not fully explored in methods relying solely on verbal reports. She highlights the importance of written methods like ideograms and continuous sketching during sessions.
She discusses the varied and unpredictable ways imagery can manifest, from simple perceptions to complex symbolic representations. Debra believes researchers have not delved deeply enough into these nuances, often being too focused on proving the existence of psi rather than studying its intricacies.
The Role of Training and Scientific Study
Debra advocates for a paradigm shift in parapsychology, moving beyond the idea of 'gifted' psychics to recognizing the importance of trained individuals. She points to the U.S. military's past efforts in developing training programs like CRV (Controlled Remote Viewing) and criticizes the lack of formal studies by some researchers.
She notes that many parapsychologists have not worked extensively with trained viewers, leading to research designs that focus on spontaneous experiences or the general population. Debra believes that viewers with extensive training and hundreds or thousands of sessions under their belt tend to produce more descriptive and accurate results.
Improving RV Research and Addressing Displacement
Debra suggests that many studies underreport psychic functioning due to designs that use decoy targets. She proposes that researchers should examine all photos receiving high scores, not just the intended target, to better understand psi phenomena. She also introduces her 'arousal-relief theory of displacement,' suggesting that the need to release emotional tension during a session can lead viewers to focus on judging photos rather than the actual target.
She calls for techniques to decrease displacement, possibly borrowed from behavioral psychology or meditation. Debra also emphasizes the need for comprehensive analysis of operational remote viewing programs, citing the failure of the Star Gate program assessment to include such an analysis.
Future Projects and Research Directions
Debra wishes to design studies that demonstrate a person's awareness of being remote viewed and its impact. She draws a parallel to Rupert Sheldrake's staring studies and shares a personal experience of knowing she was being remote viewed.
She is also interested in exploring the impact of remote viewing on the subject and proposes a study to investigate this. She mentions an outbounder experiment where a subject experienced intense physical sensations when being remote viewed, which ceased when the viewers withdrew their attention.
Debra believes that the field needs "engineers" dedicated to improving remote viewing and that more people should be employed by law enforcement and governmental organizations, receiving fair pay and credit for their work.
Artistic and Creative Expression in Remote Viewing
Debra highlights the importance of sketching in remote viewing, encouraging viewers to draw from a 3D perspective to better convey their vision. She sees remote viewing as an art form, akin to recreating scenes in the mind and expressing them through words and paper.
She also mentions her background in classical piano, writing non-fiction books, screenplays, and filmmaking, seeing remote viewing as encompassing many other art forms, similar to film.
Hopes for Remote Viewing's Future
Debra advocates for moving beyond the perceived limitations of remote viewing, particularly regarding the perception that viewers cannot easily perceive letters, numbers, or proper nouns. She believes an adequate system for accessing this information needs to be developed and made available.
She shares examples of individuals who have demonstrated remarkable abilities in reading numbers and letters, such as John Stewart, Richard Ireland, and Madam Blavatsky, and notes the skepticism faced by some, even when presented with impressive evidence, as seen in the case of a nonverbal autistic child.
Debra emphasizes that if one person can achieve something, others can learn it, fostering hope for the advancement of these skills.
Ethical Responsibilities and Community Challenges
Debra discusses the challenges faced by communities that have been ostracized, including remote viewers, who often feel the pressure of people expecting them to fail. She stresses the importance of mastering emotions and avoiding the burden of proving oneself to all of humankind.
She believes that the most fearful individuals in the community can project their anxieties outwards, leading to dictatorial behavior. Debra advocates for being models of truth and encouraging growth, rather than controlling others.
She also addresses the fear surrounding esoteric targets, suggesting that those who disapprove might be missing out on significant aspects of life and consciousness. She believes that even mundane targets can become esoteric, and one should be open to all possibilities.
The Importance of Practice and Professionalism
Debra stresses that remote viewing is a discipline that requires practice, patience, and dedication. She notes that many people are interested but few relentlessly pursue it to develop their skills.
She calls for setting standards for high performance and for organizations like the International Remote Viewing Association to publish recommendations for viewers.
Debra also highlights the need for viewers to be their own advocates, clearly stating their expectations for feedback, credit, compensation, and recognition when participating in projects. She criticizes contracts that keep individual progress confidential, arguing that professionals who have invested years in developing their skills deserve to know their progress.
Scariest and Most Memorable Targets
Debra recounts viewing targets involving a woman's decimated body and her being stabbed to death, but notes that these did not scare her as much as the fact that she could view them despite being unable to watch similar topics on the news. She also describes viewing a building where an 'evil group' was plotting world domination, which turned out to be an insurance company building.
Her most memorable target was the launch of the Apollo 11 mission control room, which filled her with euphoria. She realized later that this was an 'aesthetic impact experience' (AIE), where she matched the emotions of the people involved.
She also describes a target involving a Tomato Mosaic Virus, where she perceived a furious man in a bathtub attacking construction workers, sensing he was an off-planet being brought for population control.
Remote Viewing of Off-Planet Targets and Esoteric Subjects
Debra has been tasked with off-planet targets like the Moon and Mars, as well as life and structure-related targets. She also recounts a session where she perceived spirits trying to communicate with a subject in a photograph.
She shares an experience of remote viewing an alien who telepathically told her to 'get out,' and another instance of seeing aliens in a dream-like state. She notes that while she doesn't get scared in sessions, such images can be terrifying when encountered outside of a session.
The Challenge of Esoteric Targets and Skepticism
Debra expresses her opinion that the idea of a 'remote viewing thought police' limiting subject matter is ludicrous. She argues that remote viewing should not be confined to targets with solid feedback, as this would prevent helping with missing person cases or scientific investigations.
She believes that viewers can view esoteric targets within a scientific protocol when the situation calls for it. Debra criticizes those who hide behind the word 'scientific' to avoid confronting their fears and subconscious beliefs.
She suggests that those who disapprove of esoteric targets may be missing out on understanding the world and its mysteries. She shares the example of her former teacher, Mike Van Atta, who would view anything he had a question about, regardless of its controversial nature.
Advancements and Future of Remote Viewing
Debra hopes that viewers will move past the limitations set by researchers in the 1990s and that more attention will be paid to accessing information like letters and numbers. She believes that if one person can achieve these skills, others can learn them with the right guidance.
She emphasizes the need for viewers to be patient, practice consistently, and integrate what they learn. She also advocates for viewers to be their own advocates in projects, negotiating for fair compensation and recognition.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the personal experiences and evolving understanding of remote viewing. Debra's insights highlight the practical application of remote viewing, the importance of training and scientific rigor, and the potential for broader acceptance and application of psychic abilities. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging exploration, critical thinking, and professional development within the field of remote viewing, while also acknowledging the challenges and skepticism it faces.
This issue of "eight martinis" features interviews with two prominent figures in the remote viewing community: Dick Allgire and Lori Williams. The magazine delves into their personal journeys, methodologies, experiences, and perspectives on the field of remote viewing and psychic abilities.
Dick Allgire Interview
Dick Allgire, a veteran television news journalist with 38 years of experience, shares his extensive background in remote viewing (RV) since 1996. He has studied various methods, including TRV, SRV, and HRVG (a visual imagery-based method using NLP), and has been trained by notable figures like Ed Dames, Glenn Wheaton, and Lyn Buchanan. Allgire describes his style as striving for full visual, experiential viewing rather than just conceptual data.
He discusses his favorite books, films, music, and colors, and his relaxation methods, which include playing guitar, yoga, and surfing. Allgire notes that TM meditation helps him relax and that RV preceded his meditation practice. He experiences frequent spontaneous psi events, which he calls "tagging," and believes RV has enhanced his ability to access subconscious information on demand.
Allgire is excited by the prospect of finding significant missing objects and documenting these events. He challenges scientists to re-examine physics to explain RV, suggesting current models are inadequate. He is also exploring experiments to send messages to the past.
He recommends watching the work of Courtney Brown at Farsight and Glenn Wheaton at Hawaii Remote Viewers' Guild. Allgire's artistic side includes sketching for RV sessions, though he admits he needs to improve his drawing skills. He finds music enhances RV ability.
Regarding the future of RV, Allgire urges the community to stop bickering and collaborate. He believes a "watered down" version of RV has been promoted, and that true potential might be unlocked with electronic enhancement or brain induction technologies, though he acknowledges this is speculative.
Allgire emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of remote viewers, stressing the importance of conducting RV under valid scientific protocols, being honest, and not cheating. His scariest target involved witnessing a small plane crash into the ocean, which he later saw reported on the news. His most rewarding experiences include work on "The Multiple Universes Project" and the "9/11 Project."
He has also worked on off-planet targets, describing primitive microbial life on a distant planet and a UFO-style disk. Allgire advises viewers to focus on verifiable targets and be wary of instructors who promote "wild crap" without validation, calling such practices "mental masturbation."
He recounts a startling experience from his youth where he saw a ball of plasma emerge from a bathroom. For new remote viewers, he suggests reading all available books and learning as much as possible. He considers Glenn Wheaton his role model for his integrity and skill.
Allgire views every target as remarkable, whether it's a mundane object or a significant event, as they all demonstrate the skill of displacing awareness across space and time. He highlights the "Red River Treasure" project as an example of finding a hidden object.
He shares an experience of viewing a scene in a men's clothing store in Germany, which led him to believe that everything we do, think, say, and feel exists and is recorded. His advice for developing viewers is to find a method that teaches them to close their eyes and see the target, aiming for high-level data rather than just conceptual input.
Lori Williams Interview
Lori Williams, a former grant writer, administrator, social worker, counselor, teacher, missionary, and public speaker, shares her journey into remote viewing after a diverse career. She is a mother of nine and grandmother of twenty. Her life changed in 1996 when she met Lyn Buchanan and began learning Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), a method based on Ingo Swann's work, designed to create a structural framework for gathering intuitive information.
Williams describes her initial fear and gradual gain of confidence under Buchanan's gentle guidance. She also met Mel Riley, a "renegade" remote viewer who became a mentor. She has been teaching CRV since 2001 and offers courses in Associative Remote Viewing (ARV), Extended Remote Viewing (ERV), and RV Healing Applications, as well as Professional Remote Viewing for advanced practitioners.
For fun trivia, her favorite books include works by Betty Eadie and Marianne Williamson, her favorite films are "Somewhere in Time" and "Overboard," and her favorite music is Rhapsody On a Theme of Paganini. Her favorite color is Azure blue.
Williams describes herself as a workaholic who relaxes through meditation, hot whirlpool baths, playing guitar and Native American flute, walking, and massage. She uses a short prayer and meditation before each session, finding music and journaling helpful for staying connected. She believes CRV is the foundation of her psychic skills, which also include Reiki, hypnosis, brain science, psychology, mediumship, channeling, psychometry, and Tarot.
She notes that spontaneous psi occurrences increased significantly after she began practicing CRV, as it opened the door for subconscious communication beyond dreams. She feels that different psychic tools utilize different parts of the brain, and that information gained from other methods can be integrated into the CRV structural matrix.
Williams is driven by curiosity and a desire to explore "the Mystery." She is motivated by helping people and seeing them discover their limitless potential. She believes that remote viewing can help find practical ways to utilize talents and explore "grandiose targets."
She suggests that scientists focus on understanding the communication between conscious and subconscious minds as the key to teaching RV. For experiments, she proposes gathering resources to address pressing global problems like pollution, disease, and climate change, and examining obstacles to solutions.
Williams is involved in a research project exploring the theory that thought can affect matter. She mentions a new directory of remote viewing community members and their projects is being prepared.
Her artistic outlets include painting, sketching, playing instruments, and photography, with journaling being a constant. She hopes CRV will be taught in high schools as a survival skill and dreams of a world at peace. She advocates for collaboration within the RV community, comparing it to successful business models of cooperation.
Williams believes that for a solid future of RV, the community needs to agree to work together to create a legacy for future generations. She stresses the importance of strong morals and a code of decency for remote viewers, warning against abusing their abilities. She acknowledges that deceptive and unethical practices exist within the RV community, often from those whose main goal is to make money, and hopes altruistic viewers can unite to counteract the negative influence of "bad guys."
She has not viewed many "scary" targets but has viewed targets that stretched her belief system, such as those involving aliens, other dimensions, and parallel realities. She dislikes viewing "worst event" type targets and prefers to focus on positive outcomes and solutions.
Her most memorable targets include a bi-location experience on Mars, where she observed large obelisks and turquoise blue beings, and targets that filled her with dread before viewing.

Williams offers practical advice for aspiring viewers, stressing that prior esoteric experiences are not necessary and encouraging persistence despite fears of being wrong or making mistakes. She advocates for embracing the process, learning from every session, and celebrating successes.
Lyn Buchanan Interview
Lyn Buchanan, a former Controlled Remote Viewer for the U.S. military, provides an overview of his experience, starting with his involvement in the CRV unit under General Albert Stubblebine. He describes the initial skepticism he felt and how witnessing the work of the unit convinced him of its reality and significance. Buchanan trained CRV for incoming personnel, worked on military projects, and managed databases. After his service, he founded "Problems Solutions Innovations" and began teaching CRV to civilians, using his data analysis tools for research.
Buchanan shares his favorite book as "The Conquest of Space" by Wiley Ley, his favorite film as "Gigot," and his favorite music as "MacArthur Park" and "Amazing Grace." His favorite color is Kelly green. He practices meditation and uses a cedar flute for grounding. He notes that while he hasn't had many spontaneous psi occurrences, he has learned to notice and trust them. He feels CRV is superior to other psychic methods for his needs. His greatest accomplishment has been teaching CRV to others, particularly noting its depth beyond basic viewing skills, enabling detailed analysis and even self-healing applications.
Buchanan strongly advocates for ethical practices in remote viewing, comparing it to tools that are only as good as their users. He observes that the RV community still experiences significant chaos, contrasting it with the more structured CRV community. He recounts a scary target involving following a dying man into Hell and a memorable target of analyzing a Russian particle beam weapon. He has been tasked with off-planet targets but states it taught him nothing he didn't already know. Buchanan is critical of using esoteric targets without solid feedback, believing it leads novice viewers to conform to consensus findings rather than accurate viewing. He has had UFO sightings and experiences with other life forms.
His advice for developing viewers includes proper training, consistent practice, and never quitting a session until something curious is found. He hopes RV will move beyond internet bickering and become a useful science for the common person.
Marty Rosenblatt Interview
Marty Rosenblatt, with a background in physics from UCLA, discusses his transition from a career in computational physics and computer simulation to remote viewing and precognition. He has taken Lyn Buchanan's CRV courses and now focuses primarily on teaching and practicing Associative Remote Viewing (ARV). Rosenblatt believes ARV improves general RV skills through its "Focus on Target Feedback" mechanism.
He enjoys classical music and opera, considers blue his favorite color, and 4 his favorite number. He finds meditation important for RV and emphasizes a strong "cool-down" process involving connecting with the target feedback. Rosenblatt has not experienced dramatic spontaneous psi occurrences but notices subtle precognitive events, attributing this to a changed perspective on reality. He views all psychic methods as stemming from a fundamental consciousness that connects all moments in time. ARV's value lies in its clear definition of hits and misses, providing valuable data.
Rosenblatt explains ARV as an application for gathering future information, with applications dating back to the 1970s, and notes its use in predicting outcomes like game results or market changes. He acknowledges that ARV predictions are not always accurate but are useful for gaining an "edge over chance." He mentions a 60-65% hit rate for binary ARV projects. He suggests focusing on improving practical applications of RV and ARV to impact public consciousness and developing models of "consciousness entanglements."
He has not been tasked with off-planet targets and finds the idea of esoteric targets without feedback problematic, preferring ARV's inherent feedback loop. He believes that when feedback is not provided, there's a higher probability of missing the target. Rosenblatt dreams of a world where remote viewing and other psychic skills are integrated into society, encouraging the development of natural psychic abilities and the provision of valuable RV services.

Targ also touches upon how his RV experience has reinforced his belief in the Buddhist concept of the non-separation of consciousness. He mentions teaching RV to a significant number of students over the years and discusses his future plans, including a documentary film titled 'THIRD EYE SPIES'.
The Japan Air Lines Flight 1628 Encounter
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the Japan Air Lines flight 1628 incident on November 16th, 1986. The article, an extract from Tunde Atunrase's forthcoming book 'Remote Viewing UFOs and The Visitors', details the encounter from the perspective of Captain Kenju Terauchi and his crew. While en route to Anchorage, Alaska, the crew witnessed two rectangular objects with grouped lights, followed by a much larger, 'gigantic' spaceship that dwarfed their 747. This encounter was confirmed by FAA and Air Force radar, and the crew's testimony was initially supported by FAA Division Chief John Callahan. The incident reportedly led to Terauchi's job being jeopardized and a demotion. The article highlights the availability of radar data and eyewitness testimony as crucial elements for remote viewing analysis of this case.
Remote Viewing of the JAL 1628 Incident
The magazine presents a remote viewing session conducted by Joe McMoneagle (Remote Viewer #001) on Target 12312, which was identified as the JAL 747 encounter over Alaska. McMoneagle's detailed description of the target includes its shape (walnut-shaped with bulges, or rectangular arrays of lights), size (approximately 490-500 feet long, 200-230 feet wide, 55-65 feet deep), mirrored black finish capable of near invisibility, and speed (in excess of 4,000 mph, but capable of near standstill). The vehicle is described as fully automated, unmanned, and possibly a stealth type. The altitude was estimated at 33,000 feet. The origins of the target are explored, suggesting it is a remotely piloted vehicle from a star system about 9.7 light years away, possibly interacting with Earth for nearly fifty years. The RV session indicates the vehicles are collecting genetic material and water, as their own species is dying out due to damaged gene codes and inability to reproduce effectively. The vehicles are described as bio-mechanical interfaces engineered for self-repair and adaptation. The star map provided by McMoneagle points to a red dwarf star, possibly ROSS 154, in the north-northeast sky. The article notes that the species responsible and their specific race or star system remain unknown, but they are believed to have been interacting with Earth for about fifty years. The encounter with JAL 1628 is theorized to have been a case of mistaken identity, where the aircraft was mistaken for a probe pickup.
Discussion and Implications
The magazine concludes with reflections on the implications of these findings. The author questions the government's apparent lack of awareness or acknowledgment of such phenomena and the continued ridicule faced by witnesses. The secrecy surrounding the JAL 1628 radar data, despite its significance as potentially the first recorded radar data on a UFO, is questioned. The article draws parallels between the aliens' reported dilemma and humanity's current situation, particularly concerning environmental issues and the potential scarcity of resources like water. The author expresses concern about the catastrophic environmental future and hopes that the report will inspire further investigation and a greater sense of responsibility towards the planet.
