Workshop 2: Remote Viewing Exercise

Remote viewing is a skill that leverages each human's innate capacity for extra-sensory perception. For 23 years the US military and intelligence establishments explored and developed this skill in the interests of the nation's security. Declassified at the end of the Cold War, remote viewing is now available to anyone, you included! Building on the detailed overview "Remote Viewing: Martial Art for the Mind" that Paul will present during the preceding hour, he will instruct you in a basic procedure for doing remote viewing yourself, after which he will guide you through two remote viewing experiences in which each attendee will get to participate. Be prepared to be amazed!
