Week 1 sets the rules and the baseline: students agree to the ethical limits of the practice and begin a daily habit of quieting internal dialogue.
Objectives
- Understand how the course, the session journal and the feedback loop work.
- Learn the ethics, boundaries and operational limits of remote viewing.
- Begin daily practice to quiet internal dialogue (“mental noise”).
- Start sharpening basic sensory decoding: noticing and naming raw sensations.
Topics
- Course orientation. How sessions, journals, targets and feedback fit together. Why protocol comes before talent.
- Ethics and boundaries. Consent and privacy when targets involve people or places. Never using sessions to intrude on, harm or manipulate others. Not presenting session results as fact. Not making medical, legal, financial or safety decisions on session data alone. Knowing when to stop a session for personal wellbeing.
- Honest framing. Remote viewing is not accepted by mainstream science, and published results are contested. Students record misses as carefully as hits.
- Quieting internal dialogue. What mental noise is, how to notice it, and a 10-minute daily quiet-mind practice.
- Basic sensory decoding. Describing sensations with simple words (rough, cold, bright, humming) instead of labels (“a building”, “a car”).
Student tasks
- Read and sign the ethics and boundaries agreement.
- Set up a session journal with dated, numbered pages.
- Complete at least 5 quiet-mind practices and log each one (time, duration, noise level 1–10).
- Complete 3 sensory decoding drills: describe a hidden object by touch or sound only, using no nouns.
Instructor tasks
- Deliver the orientation and ethics lecture.
- Collect signed ethics agreements.
- Demonstrate the quiet-mind practice live in class.
- Prepare a pool of training targets for Weeks 2–3, sealed and numbered.
