As part of the SSPR Lecture Programme, Paul H. Smith will speak on the topics of "Remote Viewing, Consciousness and ESP" at the Scottish Society for Psychical Research, Glasgow, Scotland, UK on May 22, 2008. Location/Time: www.sspr.co.uk
Remote viewing is a novel perceptual discipline for gaining information not available to the ordinary physical senses. Used extensively by so-called "psychic spies" during the Cold War for classified military projects, it has a long history both as an intelligence gathering tool and as the subject of research and applications in the civilian world. Remote viewing has now taken a long step into the public domain with the formation of a professional association to propose standards, test performance, and promote peaceful use and development of this unique human mental capacity.
