In this edited excerpt from his book, renowned researcher and author Stephan Schwartz discusses the subtle and transformative impacts of “remote viewing” and accessing nonlocal mind.
Three of the most mysterious things a person can experience are spiritual ecstasy, the ah–ha! moment of creative genius, and a verifiable “nonlocal awareness” event—what is often called a psychic event. Let me propose what I think a growing body of interdisciplinary research and a millennia of ethnohistory both suggest: These three enigmatic occurrences are, in fact, different manifestations of the same process, sometimes seen as spiritual, sometimes as brilliance, and sometimes as merely strange. Each is
modulated by the intent of the practitioner and the context in which the experience is placed.
A transcendentalist, for example, seeks spiritual experience and has one appropriate to their personal
psychology. A scientist seeks, and sometimes discovers, a fundamental insight into how the world works. A person practicing a psychic discipline such as remote viewing seeks to describe a person, place, or event from which they are separated by reason of time or space. They get sense impressions and have a sense of knowingness just as if they were physically present. Sometimes these experiences come unbidden—and you yourself have probably had one at some point in your life.
