About This Episode

He explains government remote viewing programs, IRVA's scientific approach to validation, and how to get started with free practice sessions and resources..
What is Remote Viewing
A series of protocols to collect information that is non-local and not attached to time and space
You don't know what the target is beforehand (double-blinded process)
Structured with roles: modulator, monitor, project manager, tasker
Allows you to work with groups, unlike individual psychic work
Keeps practitioners humble by showing them where they're wrong so they can learn
Information accessed through intention-focused awareness and meditation
Luciano's Personal Precognition Experiences
Since 1989, has experienced remarkable precognition through meditation
Anticipates what people will say seconds before they speak
Hears future events like a blue car pulling out of a parking lot exactly three seconds before it happens
Drove into a parking lot and precognitively heard "third car on the right, blue car, three seconds"
Waited three seconds and the blue car pulled out exactly on time
Meditation is the key to emptying your mind and accessing unconscious information
Remote Viewing vs Other Psychic Abilities

Most psychics work as solo performers, not in groups
Remote viewing allows group work and structured learning

You can practice with other people and learn from mistakes
