Planned and Aimed. The psychic session must be planned and done on purpose. If you get a “spontaneous insight” or have a dream, that is not Remote Viewing. RV is when you intend to collect information about a specific target.
Recorded – The remote viewing data is recorded in some format; written, audio taped or video taped.
Double-Blind. In most experiments, if the person giving the answers does not know the question, it would be called “blind” or “single-blind”. Remote Viewing is required to be “double-blind”. That means there are two (double) layers of “blinding”. It means the psychic cannot know the target, AND, nobody else who is present with the psychic during the session (even by remote means such as webcam or phone) can know the target either. This is because even pheremones, voice-frequencies, and many other “invisible” physiological senses can transfer information below the conscious level. (See Ingo Swann’s article ‘Your 17 Senses.’)
Feedback. Although you can be psychic about anything (the future, for example), in order to “validate” the data IS psychic and not just a wild guess, it has to be at least partly correct. In order to know what is correct, we need the real info to ‘compare to’ the session data. We call that info “feedback.”
