(U) GLOSSARY OF iS: AN | eemessss | SC MdIS ; : A. Customer is an orgénizational entity within the Intelligence Community which desires information obtained from remote viewers for operational and/or analytical purposes. B. (U) Double Blind is the condition set where people in session with a remote viewer do not have any knowledge whatsoever of the target. S/F [SG [Lum Sw) Cc. Evaluation is a Written assessment of the informatéon a remote viewer has received during a session. The Project Officer provides the evaluation for a Proficiency Enhancement Project and the customer provides an evaluation for an Operational Project. D. (U) Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). are perceptions which cannot be explained by known sensory means. E. (C/NF) Feedback is information about an intended target. This is displayed to a remote viewer by the Project Officer after a Proficiency Enhancement Project is conducted and the information is secured. Feedback in an Operational Project may not be immediate due to the fact that the customer may have to do research or act upon the information. F. (U) Monitor is an individual who is present during a remote viewing session. This individual records the data which is being collected by the remote viewer. G. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Operational Projects are remote viewing sessions which are conducted to collect information to satisfy customer requests. H. (C/NF) Proficiency Enhancement Projects is an in-house program in which remote viewing sessions are conducted and information results are measured against the target. I. (C/NF) Project Number is the number or letter designated to a project for identification purposes. It is assigned by the Activity Chief or the Project Officer and is always written on the Tasking Sheet and the remote viewer's report. J. (C/NF) Project Officer is the individual who is responsible for conducting a Proficiency Enhancement Project. He or she selects the target, assigns it a number and then obtains the required materials for sessions, e.g. photos, maps. This individual then tasks each remote viewer utilizing a form called a Tasking Sheet. After the remote viewing sessions, this person is responsible for providing the feedback and an evaluation to the remote viewer.

(U) Protocol is a template for conducting a structured data collection session. L. (U) Psychoenergetics is a mental process by which an individual perceives, communicates with and/or perturbs characteristics of a designated target, person or event remote in space and/or time from that individual. M. (U) Psychokinesis are physical actions performed by mental powers that cannot be explained by known physical means. N. (U) Remote Viewer is a person who perceives, communicates with and/or perturbs characteristics of a designated target, person or event. 0. (U) Remote Viewing is the name of a method of psychoenergetic perception. This term was coined by Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1970's. This term is defined as the acquisition and description, by mental means, of information blocked from ordinary perception by distance, shield or time. P. (C/NF) Report isa written summary of findings prepared by the remote viewer following his or her sessions. This report will indicate the project number, viewer identification or source number, the date and the date of the session(s). The report is given to the Project Officer in a Proficiency Enhancement Project in order that an evaluation can be made of the received information. The report is given to the Customer in an Operational Project in order that the information can be acted upon within the Intelligence Community. Q. (C/NF) Session is a period of time dedicated to the collection of information by the remote viewer. R. (C/NF) Sketches are conceptual, graphic representations provided by the remote viewer in support of his or her findings during a session. These sketches are attached to the viewer's report. S. (C/NF) Solo is a remote viewing session conducted by the remote viewer only. This process does not require the need or use for the presence of another individual sometimes known as a monitor. T,. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source Number is a numerical code identifier assigned to the remote viewer for Operational Projects 2 SECRET NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS LIMITED DISSEMINATION STAR GATE Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 --- PAGE 7 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2000/08/44-"FA-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 to protect that viewer's identity. This number and its usage is the same as the Viewer Identification Number. This number is constant. uv. (U) Target is the person, place, thing or event that is the focus of a remote viewing task. v. (U) Target Pool is the development of targets selected for their distinction and diversity. Targets can be photographs, personalities, documents and maps. W. (C/NF) asking Sheet is a simple form prepared by the Activity Chief or the Project Officer which is given to a remote viewer prior to his or her session. This form will have the project number, viewer identification or source number and the date of the tasking. This form will also include an evaluation of the information received by a remote viewer. This form can also record the completion date of the project. X. (U) Telepathy is communication between minds by some means other than sensory perception. Y. (C/NF) Viewer Identification Number is a numerical identifier assigned to the remote viewer for Proficiency Enhancement Projects. This number is written on the Tasking Sheet by the Project Officer to identify which viewer will work a project. The viewer uses this number on the session report instead of his or her name. This number is constant. II. (0) METHODOLOGIES: A. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Remote Viewing is a highly controlled and formally established, unique intelligence collection capability which has the following characteristics: 1. It is passive. To the extent of our knowledge, collection by remote viewing is totally passive, that is to say, it cannot be detected when used. 2. It is inexpensive. The principal cost of remote viewing collection is the people involved. There is little expensive hardware. 3. There is no known defense. Time, distance, target, size or degree of difficulty all have no apparent effect on collection by remote viewing. B. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) As a result of SRI's technology and research in remote viewing, this Activity adapted its approaches and methodologies in 1979. An eclectic approach was taken, using 3 SECRET NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS LIMITED DISSEMINATION STAR GATE Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 --- PAGE 8 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2000/08/19"°G1A-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 those methods which had applications potential for Training, In- house Proficiency Enhancement and Operational Projects. Cc. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) These approaches/methodologies are as follows: 1. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) a@raws on the expertise of over decades of research by independent investigators and recognized academic institutions to include the University of Virginia Medical Center, the Mind Science Foundation, the University of California at Davis, and Syracuse University. a) The ERV approach has as its goal the subjective temporal extension of subliminally brief psychic impressions. The trained ERV percipient is able to control, observe, and report perceptions which would otherwise be ignored or neglected fleeting imagery. b) This extension of the perceptual window is accomplished through the achievement of a discrete state of consciousness defined by identified state dependent behaviors. These behaviors are regarded as skills. c) The basic components of the ERV procedure involve the following skills: 1) Skill 1: The ability to physically relax. 2) Skill 2: The ability to reduce physical arousal. 3) Skill 3: The ability to attenuate sensory inputs. 4) Skill 4: The ability to increase awareness of internal feelings. 5) Skill 5: The ability to engage “receptive mode/right hemispheric functioning. 6) Skill 6: The ability to achieve an altered view of reality. 7) skill 7: The ability and desire to focus intent (conscious and unconscious) on remote viewing task. 8) Skill 8: The ability to communicate remote viewing perceptions. 4 SECRET NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS LIMITED DISSEMINATION STAR GATE Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 --- PAGE 9 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2000/08/74 "@iA-RDP96-00792R000500590002-7 d) The goal of ERV is to simultaneously exhibit all of the learned skills thereby achieving a specified discrete state of consciousness in which an individual is able to remote view. 2. (S8/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) was developed by an SRI subcontractor in the early 1980's. This methodology was developed to satisfy R&D demands on SRI to enhance the reliability (scientific replicability) of remote viewing.
