Meditation is the ability to quiet the mind and emotions, look deeper into oneself and reality, and rise above one’s shallow ego to a higher level of consciousness.
Meditation is increasingly practiced worldwide for good reason, as it brings visible benefits to practitioners. Through meditation, we can achieve greater harmony and inner peace, gain new understanding of many issues, and obtain a broader perspective.
Remote Viewing practice shares many beneficial traits with the meditative state, and can even be called “the most fascinating form of meditation.”
Remote Viewing is the practice of activating mental focus for extrasensory perception. In Remote Viewing, participants achieve a state of ability to gain insight into reality through the eye of their mind, thereby obtaining information, knowledge, and awareness that cannot be achieved by other means.
Learning Remote Viewing also includes steps typical for meditation training, such as mastering the ability to focus the mind and practicing mindfulness, which expands our perceptiveness.
Through practicing Remote Viewing, one achieves a higher ability to focus the mind and be attentive to even the most subtle signals of our intuition. As a result, perception and understanding of reality expands.
Furthermore, practicing Remote Viewing incidentally trains a person’s ability to go beyond their shallow ego. During a Remote Viewing session, the practitioner sets aside most of their personal beliefs, judgments, and “preferences” – by rising above their ego, they gain the ability to understand reality from many other perspectives.
After completing a session, analysis and contemplation of the experience is of course possible, but the very experience of stepping out, even slightly, beyond one’s daily, narrowed perspective, can be an extremely liberating and enriching experience. Many schools of meditation seek precisely this experience – rising above the limitations of the earthly ego and experiencing a broader reality. Remote Viewing provides this experience while giving much more at the same time.
Remote Viewing can therefore be like good meditation, but the main goal of Remote Viewing is to activate and use the ability to gain insight through extrasensory perception in order to acquire new information and knowledge flowing from direct, empirical experience. That is why I have called Remote Viewing the most fascinating and exciting form of meditation, because while practicing typical meditative virtues such as the ability to quiet down, control one’s own mind, concentrate, and rise beyond the boundaries of ego – Remote Viewing simultaneously allows one to personally participate in the adventure of being present with one’s consciousness in fascinating places or personally observing any events across time and space.
So should Remote Viewing completely replace classical meditation? Not necessarily. While Remote Viewing practice gives us much of what classical meditation gives us, there is a reason why many types of meditation and meditative practices exist. Each meditation can be appropriate for different applications and more optimal for strengthening a specific desired feature of our mind.
Many people practicing Remote Viewing also independently practice other forms of meditation, and one can often observe improved Remote Viewing results when also using other forms of meditation. The more frequent the practice of going beyond one’s narrow ego, the better the insight abilities in Remote Viewing. That’s why the best Remote Viewers are also people who meditate outside of RV sessions.
Nevertheless, if someone has limited time and is looking for the most effective practice that will train the most desired features, including those trained in classical meditation – Remote Viewing meets these holistic assumptions of supporting human development on many levels.
So if you want to enhance your abilities of concentration, being mindful and perceptive, develop your intuition, gain deeper insight into reality, and rise above the limitations of the earthly ego, I recommend Remote Viewing the most as a high-class spiritual practice.
