A remote viewer that Debra and I came in contact with recently is an accomplished Associative Remote Viewer and wishes to share his approach and methods, which he says have been very successful. He (Eric) wants to be transparent and feels that others should have access to his approach and methods.
We have not seen any sessions or statistics but we had email exchanges and a long zoom call and from all indications Eric is an honest and hardworking person who has looked at ARV from all angles, tried many methods and has come up with an approach that works very well for him and his team.
The results are based on over 3-1/2 years of work by him and a small and international team successfully using ARV to generate income from sports betting and financial market products. Eric has trained with several well-known trainers and experienced remote viewers and has researched all aspects of ARV. In his time as a remote viewer, he has done over 2500 sessions in classic and technical protocols. In addition, he trains in ERV. In doing so, he has found the approach and methods below to have a success rate of usually 68% to 80% and sometimes as high as 90%.
Some of his ideas and methods follow. Most will be familiar to ARVers, but some are new.
ARV should not just be done for sports predictions but also for worthy things like finding missing people.
It takes time and dedication to be successful.
A meditative mindset is important both as you view and during feedback as well.
For a successful application of the method, the strength profile of the viewer is precisely worked out.
There is a strict separation between the object of investigation and the structure of the view.
Tasking plays a stronger role. Here, measures are used to reinforce the intention. The time loop from processing to the event to the method of resolution is precisely worked out before the event.
A method of triangulation is introduced. The event must be unalterably retraced by tasker and viewer without barriers. A yes/no event is precisely algorithmed beforehand.
Protocol
Binary (two photos) ARV done in a very strict protocol.
There are two timelines and it is important to have just one timeline existing when the feedback occurs. The timeline must be kept clean. That requires a stringent division of labor.
Roles
There are three separate and distinct roles:
1. Tasker/Judge. Tasker may do both or there will be a separate judge.
2. Viewer
3. Bettor/wagerer
The tasker’s job is to choose the events and select two photos for each event. The tasker may also be the judge. The judge compares the session to each photo prior to the event. No formal scoring system is used.
Each session is treated individually. Given the danger of biased feedback and evaluation, there will be no point systems or negative discussions. The only concentration from the feedback is the working out of strengths, the consistent training and the (cautious) testing and integration of new methods and innovations.
It's important to use handwritten cues and tasking, not just oral ones.
The remote viewers do a session and see just one photo as feedback after the event. They NEVER see the other photo that was initially selected. Eric does not favor or use self-judging.
Methods used by viewers on the team include CRV stages 1 to 3 or higher, ERV and the partial integration of other disciplines such as lucid dreaming, meditative procedures and dowsing.
There is a team that places bets. The viewers can bet or ask the wagerer(s) to bet for them or not bet at all.
Photos
There is an A photo and a B photo. The photos have no connection at all to the game/event being viewed.
The tasker / photo chooser should have no favorite between the two photos he/she selects.
Photos are chosen a month ahead of time (usually 60 photos) and applied by the tasker to each event as it comes up.
The tasker places pairs of photos in envelopes and labels the envelopes for each pair A or B along with the event associated with that outcome. A is associated with one team winning (Red Sox) and B with the other team winning (Yankees). After the event takes place the judge will look only at the photo that corresponds to the outcome for that event. The envelope with the photo that does not correspond to the outcome is discarded unopened. (The judge has looked at both photos when judging the sessions, prior to the date of the event.)
A big print of an image/picture works better than a smaller one. If sending a pdf to the viewer, a large image is sent in the pdf.
A “boring photo” is okay - (important) if there's a lot of detail. Close-ups are okay. The photos do not have explosions or violence. There are no particular guidelines other than that for selection of photos.
Betting
Betting is done by a separate person. Viewers may bet on their own; they are not paid as viewers for doing the viewing. Each person is responsible for their own financial involvement. Some of the viewers just want to view and are not interested in sports, nor making money particularly. Eric himself is not a sports fan and has no independent interest in the games.
The bettor(s) doubles the bet upon a miss; they have never had more than 4 misses in a row and have come out ahead, with a 68 to 80% monthly hit rate. This result is from doing many games. If the bettor is betting for the viewer, the viewer does not receive a monetary result for each event but is paid later for the month.
The discussion about money and financial success is strictly separated from remote viewing. Overall, the work is seen as ongoing training, which is permanently necessary and always requires a critical examination of the method. Every day is independent and new. A successful series does not lead them to remain content with the current work.
Overall stats of hits and misses are not circulated.
Other
The whole enterprise is seen and talked about as training. They try to keep the ego out of it. They try to make it fun.
The participants in the three different roles never talk about the photos or the game/event. This is considered extremely important.
The viewer only ever sees one photo, the one that corresponds to the result. At the time of the feedback, only one photo is in play (the other photo has been 'discarded') and the timeline for that photo does not yet exist at the time of the event.
There is a lot of viewing done, not in 3 to 5 minute sessions, but in 20 to 40 minute sessions. Participation is time-consuming and requires some training, also so that the judge knows the work of the viewer. This is especially true for ERV, which is not as successful as other methods.
Eric finds that it is better for himself to have some joy or emotion about a hit during feedback, rather than a neutral attitude. From the constant training, strengths are worked out and themes are promoted, with a training plan.
The viewer should be in a meditative state during viewing and also during feedback. During feedback and assessment, one should not be disturbed.
There is a Telegram group that makes sports bets every day.
They have accumulated about 30,000 euros after starting with 1,000 euros. The focus is on ongoing returns, not on making one-off profits. Income from the project is almost entirely donated after administrative costs.
Eric works with TMI (The Monroe Institute). He is trying out new approaches in the theta waveband, between 4-6 Hz and other frequencies as enablers. He has noticed at least minimal improvement with these recordings and sees the need for documentation. In addition, meditative methods are being explored, as well as incorporating sports and other disciplines. The Remote Viewing Protocol is being further developed and adapted to the needs of ARV. The focus here is not on the quick possibility of making binary decisions, but on full target reconnaissance as in CRV.
Eric hopes people understand that he has a very busy life and may not have time to participate in online discussions. In addition to family, job, and volunteer work, he gives a lot of time to the team and projects and currently to five students who are learning remote viewing from him free of charge. He is also involved in improving mapping methods in stage 6 and assists in Healing and Forensic Science. But he wants others to try his approach - and to be able to change it if they think it is right, and to be available as a contact and reviewer in projects and plans as far as his time allows.
With methodological, financial and human resources, Eric sees no hurdles to achieving success up to a hundred percent hit rate in an evolved ARV method. It will be exciting to see what information can be generated to shape the future that is not exclusively related to an outcome-based outcome. For example, it could be topics of informal forecasting or regulatory support.
