Remote viewing – and other innate abilities

My name is Zoltán Barta. I was born in 1966 in a small town in northern Hungary as the only child of my parents and grew up in an even smaller village nearby. I always thought it was the center of the world — and to me, it still is.
A strange world greeted me when I arrived on Earth. Since my earliest conscious memories, I have been able to perceive the sensations and thoughts of other people. I have sensed information about objects I was holding in my hands and perceived distant occurrences through my consciousness. I have seen events that had taken place earlier in the rooms or places I entered. I have dreamed of things that later happened exactly as I saw them — even ten or more years after the dream. My consciousness is sometimes able to appear in another place, different from where my physical body is. All this information has come (and continues to come) mentally: I see what a place — a building, a town — will look like in the distant future, and later it turns out to be true.

Experiencing all this, I began searching for the reasons and possibilities behind it from a very young age. What are these phenomena, and how do they work? Do they occur in others as well?

The first system I encountered was the Silva Method, and later I discovered remote viewing. Interestingly, the Silva Method itself includes a form of remote viewing, which I believe is no coincidence.

To tell the truth, in those years here in Hungary, I had no access to any reading material on topics like remote viewing, remote influencing, ESP, psychometry, second sight, telepathy, empathy, precognition, premonition, clairvoyance, OBE, and so on. My early experiences could therefore not have been influenced by anything I had read — because I had read nothing about such subjects at the time.
Later, as a young adult in the 1990s, I learned more about remote viewing. That was when I realized that I had been doing the same thing spontaneously since early childhood. My only “official” experience in this field was attending a Silva Method seminar in Hungary in the late 1990s. That course helped me improve my abilities in several areas and establish new benchmarks as well. It marked the beginning of a period of expanded capabilities.

According to available records, remote viewing became widely known in the 1990s after the declassification of certain government documents related to the topic. By that time, however, I had already been practicing similar methods independently for several years, unaware of what had been happening in the United States.

After learning more about the remote viewing process, I began doing blind viewings, mainly following the ARV and CRV methods, using external target websites (such as Target Monkey).
My first task — and my first success — was the viewing of a photograph of Borobudur Temple. Unfortunately, I no longer have the drawing I made during that session.

One of my many experiences related to automatic or spontaneous remote viewing — or out-of-body experience (OBE) — took place on a hot, calm, but sad summer Saturday night in 1998, in a remote village in Hungary.
In the early hours of the following morning, a so-called “disco accident” occurred near the village: a car struck a young man — a pedestrian — at dawn. (“Disco mishap” is a local expression for accidents that happen when young people, still excited after a night at the disco, are heading home and something tragic occurs.) The young man suffered a very serious, permanent injury and lost consciousness, falling into a weedy roadside ditch after the impact.

I was an absolute outsider in this event. I had not attended the disco, nor was I involved in the accident in any way. I was sleeping in my bed at home, in a neighboring town about 20 kilometers from the scene, because I had to go to work the next morning. But something strange happened to me that night: I fully perceived and experienced the accident through the consciousness of one of the participants — in my dream.

The next day, some people at work told me the whole story, exactly as I had seen it in my dream. It couldn’t have been a coincidence — the accident had many distinctive details, all of which I had perceived precisely as they occurred, though I was far away at the time.

My important experiences:
It’s not that my mind or consciousness is projected toward the target in general — rather, the information and necessary details simply appear in my mind when I think or focus on a specific subject.

Regarding other innate abilities: sometimes when I meet someone and we shake hands, or even when I just touch them accidentally — or simply look at them — a kind of film begins to play in my mind about that person. This inner film is similar to the images I mentioned before: extremely complex, though not highly detailed. At times, the person’s last or most dominant thought or emotional state appears to me as a vivid, symbolic scene.

These phenomena can occur spontaneously, as I wrote above, or intentionally — by an act of will. Yet in every case, I am able to control these perceptual forms.

I know I am not the only one. Many people are searching for answers about their lives and are beginning to recognize latent psychic abilities within themselves, often emerging spontaneously. Mental and psychic skills are natural, built-in aspects of the human species. If you set out to uncover them — if you simply accept that they exist — you will inevitably encounter them.

When I’m not practicing remote viewing, I work as a state official during the day, and as an author in my inspired hours — writing short stories in Hungarian. I’m also working on a book about remote viewing and other innate abilities, based on my personal experiences. Hopefully, it will be ready soon.

Key phrases:

Joe McMoneagle said: „Excellence in remote viewing like any other paranormal activity is a result of – 33% talent, 33% understanding the rules, and 33% practice. You need 25% or better in all three to call yourself a virtuoso as a remote viewer.”

My own conclusion is (recognizing the truth of this wise quote above): „Quod natura dedit, tollere nemo potest.” – What is given by nature, no man can take away.

If you are not familiar with psychic abilities or remote viewing, try to interpret them in your own way:
Remote viewing is a psychic ability that transcends time and space, allowing a person to gather “remote” information about unseen or distant targets — using more than the normal, known senses.

Alternatively, remote viewing can be described as the practice of obtaining impressions about a distant or unseen target through subjective means — particularly extrasensory perception, or “sensing with the mind.”

So remote viewing is…

A [free-response] [intentionally controlled process] of communication which provides [accurate data] about [an intended target] for which [there is no known non-psi source of information] for the viewer.
