Controlled Remote Viewing

“Remote viewing is a disciplined method that trains individuals to obtain information about distant or concealed objects, events, locations, or people beyond normal sensory capabilities.” ~ Jana Rogge, The 12 Principles of Remote Viewing

Discover a concise, practice-oriented guide to one of the most influential remote viewing methods ever developed. Controlled Remote Viewing: Useful Tips and Tricks, authored by Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) practitioner and former International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) president John P. Stahler, distills decades of military and civilian CRV experience into clear, step-by-step advice that helps you avoid common pitfalls and strengthen your structure from Stage I–VII.

Drawing on declassified program documents, the original Swann–Puthoff methodology, interviews with Swann and his trainees, and operational lessons from Ft. Meade, this book walks you through ideograms, sensory data, movement exercises, Stage IV matrices, advanced modeling, dowsing adjuncts, and even emerging Stage VII phonetics, illustrated with real session pages.

Ideal for serious students and working viewers alike, it offers practical tools to reduce noise, improve data quality, and bring your remote viewing to a truly professional level.

Rather than being a full CRV training manual, this book is designed as a compact companion for students who are already learning original, Ingo Swann–style CRV and want clear, practical “do’s and don’ts” to tighten their session structure.

The author, who previously served as the head of an electronics design firm focusing on digital video processing, has been awarded numerous patents. His inventions have flown as experimental components in NASA’s Space Shuttle Program. He has been involved in remote viewing for over 20 years including roles as an assistant instructor, student mentor, operational viewer, project manager, and researcher. Presently, he serves as vice president and a board member of the Center Lane Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the sharing and preservation of the original CRV methodology as developed by Swann and Puthoff.
