"If the painter wishes to see enchanting beauties, he has the power to produce them.
If he wishes to see monstrosities, whether terrifying, or ludicrous and laughable,
or pitiful, he has the power and authority to create them. . .
Indeed, whatever exists in the universe, whether in essence, in act, or in the imagination,
the painter has first in his mind and then in his hands."

--+-- NOTICE --+--
Remote Viewing -- The Real Story is a book being placed in the Internet and WWW in serialized form, with continuing segments appearing at unscheduled intervals because of the time necessary to complete each segment.
The book is appearing in this fashion because the top five publishers in these United States rejected it on the grounds that the public interest in the real story of remote viewing is minimal and the story is of no real mainstream interest.
The author has nonetheless determined that a record of the story should be available for open-and-free-access historical purposes and for those who might chance to have interest.
For purposes of accuracy, the book is very carefully based on documents existing in the author's voluminous, chronological archives as well as some in the possession of other sources and resources. All documents substantively depended upon are noted in the text. A complete bibliography of additional sources and other supportive materials will be appended later on.
In those instances where guideline documentation is not available, or never existed, I have confirmed my recall by consulting with one or more direct witnesses of those instances. This follows accepted journalistic procedures which are both traditional and proper.
However, the book, as it must be, is cast in the form of an autobiographical memoir and therefore contains many memories, opinions, deductions and estimations of the author -- and who therefore leans on the freedoms of speech, belief and opinion guaranteed by founding documents generally and equally applicable throughout the United States.

Hi Dr. Walt:
There is more to the human body/mind existence than is usually discussed here on the board. And exploring the many facets that make up the WHOLE being is a step in the right direction. Thank you for posting this.
I should also say thank you to those who have already started the exploration and have been posting on related topics.

I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore, and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter….I am she whose wedding is great,
And I have not taken a husband….I am knowledge, and ignorance.

Hey there's no need to get shirty! For your information, I have read it and I still dont see what remote viewing is. OK maybe Im stupid, but you could at least have just a tiny bit of patience. Id hate to cross you in an argument - youve obviously got very little patience. I feel sorry for you.

I am the supportive one, the supplier of goods, money, and services, steady like a tree, the foundation, and yet the forgotten one until needed;
I am the father and son, the playboy and the protector,
The beast chasing beauty, uh..., no wait,
I am mollycoddled and secluded,
I am the home builder, the muscle of construction, and the barbarian, the savage destroyer,
I am good and evil, I am peace-loving and warmongering,
I am dumb and dumber..no wait, uh
I am hedonistic and ...um..hedonistic
I am peach-loving and piece-of-pie loving but prune-hating,
Oh, I need help with this poem...where are all the other He-men when I need them?

I am Lazyboy and The Little Engine That Could,
I am Big Bird and The Eagle That Got Sucked Into A Jet Engine,
I am above you and in you. I am behind you and beside you. I am hiding behind the curtains. I know when you are sleeping, I see when you're awake. I know if you feel joy or woe so feel joy for goodness sake,
I'd like a volunteer from the audience at this point - you, the Warrior Lord of Thebes in the front row.
I am Father Christmas, and Cthulu as implemented in DOS,
For he is sunburned, and she is a lunatic. He plays with matches, and she wanders around in the dark,
If the God and the Adorer call, say unto them that I am out of the office; they shall not see me. For I and my Lord Hadit shall be in a meeting verily until the end of time.
Now, therefore, I have an unlisted phone number, which shall be revealed to my Prophet when at last he ceaseth making obscene calls.
I am Infinite Space, and billions and billions of stars, yet modesty remains my best character trait.
Let no difference be made between any one thing and any other thing; in this way wilt thou simplify thine Inventory Control.
Then saith the Prophet and the Loss: Where the Hell am I, what am I on, and where can I get more? Then she answered him, her neon-hued body dangling a wide variety of love beads and leather thongs, saying: Like, wow! Everything is everwhere and real, like, for sure! Totally!
Oh, bend over, and I shall drive thee home!
But whoso maketh sense of all this, let him explain it to me as soon as possible.
The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

I skimmed the post but that is the quote that I liked the best, and it is sooooooo true. That's what gets this world into trouble. Case in point, Californians elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor yesterday. He can't even pronounce the name of the state. He has no political experience. He refused all but one debate, in which he was given the questions ahead of time. He never gave people specifics on how he would improve the state. He just spent tons of money on commercials and waved around his trophy wife. Oh and according to at least 15 women that came forward he's quite the little sexual harasser too.
Sorry about the tangent but it just seemed so appropriate.
Now if only the intelligent had the balls to get out there and make things happen, this would be a much better world.

Hi Sally:
It's easy to do an internet search and come up with a host of explanations. Remote viewing (RV) is the ability to "see" what is in another location without physically being there. This is a simple explanation, I know. There is more to it as you'll find out when you do your search. Good luck!

Ode to He-mens whom have found dumbness beside themselves.
Oh forgotten one, I am in need of your good services.
Oh beast chasing beauty - mollycoddling the muscle of construction gives me - motherly, yes, virgin, no - utmost pleasure.
Change with the season, get beside yourself anew and savor the etheric piece of warm apple pie awaiting you. Come boy, play with me. Comingle we will, peach-pie you will forget, warmongering will sleep and savage and hedonistic we will explore.
No man can I comingle with more intricately than he who despises the prune.

Che impressionante gregory! L'hai fatto da solo, o con l'aiuto da babelfish?
Non portiamo gli anelli! Non gli abbiamo mai preso...
In fact, we just lived an interesting situation while in germany a few months ago. A newbie came into the car racing group, a female, 54, with a brand new mazda MX5 (miata). She traveled up with our group of about 8, and made herself at home within the group quite quickly. Before you know it, she was palpating ricky's biceps, asking him "Is your wife jealous?", telling every detail of her harem activities (a 32 yr old woman and 27 yr old married man), and even grabbed ricky's "package"! HA! It started as a friendly "I'm one of the guys" grab, but quickly turned into a "Hey! I found treasure!" coddle. We were at the dinner table at a restaurant, and everyone looked at ME, like I was supposed to do something about it.
Of course she knew we were married. But when someone hits on either of us, the other just sits back and laughs.

Ha potuto essere qualcosa di un'eccitazzione. Se significativo altro non ha detto il boo! Allora lo indovino sono alright. Li invidio la vostra unione.

I hardly ever find dumbness beside myself. Even the dog is an entertaining companion, if sometimes more action-oriented than verbal.
From my adventuring days of old, my companions would surely describe you as "A Lusty, Busty, Lissome Young Lassy" or "Aye, She's all Wild Spirit, A strapping Earth-Goddess that one!" "Fey morelike. Crazy as a weasel tied to the back end of a flatulent camel." um, ok maybe not that last one.
Our Bard has painted you in exotic colors, which goes so well with love beads and the leather thong, that I hardly ever notice that your skin glows neon orange or that you have taken to Gregory grokking, which admittedly is one of your better backhanded compliments.
It's always a mistake to underestimate you in any capacity, but living on the fringe you get used to uh, shall we say people whom are themselves extreme. When I hold my weirdness meter near you it jumps off the scale. It only does that for a couple of people. I don't point it at myself anymore -takes a while to build a ne one, ya know?
Still, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Huh. Ode indeed. I wonder if FW will need those prunes the way you're stuffing him with all those pies. He may have to change his screen name to FFW for Fat FW. Yo with your semi-motherly charms and fattening foods. Poor Ricky. Can he even type with his pudgy fingers anymore. Oh the Humanity.

Ok, I'll take it!
Your post was the perfect start to a weekend of mania, one of those 4000 rpm in 6th gear kinds of phenomenon in life that leave you wide eyed, hair standing on end and grin plastered on like that batman bad guy whose name I can't think of right now.
I'm still recovering.
As a gift in appreciation of your charms, I present not fattening fruit pies, but this tiny morsel which may serve only to expand your "profanity" (I prefer "colorful") vocabulary, but not your waistline.
