Successful
Experiment on Extended Remote Viewing or "Self-guided
OBE"
On
the 8th of December 2004 an experiment on Remote Viewing was aired
on a national TV channel in Sweden as an episode in the
TV series "The Unknown" on TV4 Plus.
The response was positive. "At last someone dared to be tested
and managed to succeed", was one comment.

My
suggestion (2) |
The
aim of the experiment was to determine if it is possible
to prove that the mind can travel and perceive far beyond
the location of the physical body. The result was very
successful.
The
experiment was done in May 2003 in co-operation with Nordisk
Film a Swedish television company located in Stockholm
(contact person Caroline
Giertz).
A target photo (1) black and white was chosen and placed
in a locked experiment room at the TV company in Stockholm
on May 17, 2003. See
original photo.
The photo was supposed to contain a strong emotional event.
The experimental subject, Torbjorn Sassersson, worked from a different location in Stockholm. A few
days later On May 23, 2003 he sent
a mail containing the answer: "WCT, 9-11" and
a picture (2) found on the Internet was delivered (my
first attempt) to the TV company .
The
technique used was close to Extended Remote Viewing,
Phase 2, develped by SRI International, the biggest think tank in USA. It could be described as a kind
of Self-guided Out-of-Body Journey in the waking state.
Sassersson decided to deliver a photo instead of a drawing of the
target site. He picked a photo found on the Internet that
was the most similar compared to the impressions.
The experiment was not done in front of live cameras.
The TV show was a reconstruction of the events. It was
not a double-blind test.
Why
did he do it?
Sassersson says: "To
show that we ordinary people can do things that are considered
to be impossible. You can do this too. If you can do this
"impossible thing", what problems and tasks
can't you solve? I want to initiate a debate and new research
projects about our non-physical and psychic properties".
"I
am not a RV expert. I learned RV on a couple of weekend
courses and I learned OBE travel from CD discs from the
Monroe
Institute. Then I practised at home. I am just an
ordinary guy that wanted to know the truth about psychic
functioning" Sassersson adds.
