Remote Viewing is one of those things people are sometimes interested in because they want to go to a psychic to have their fortune told to them.

That presupposes they’re going to someone outside of themselves to look for “luck” or “fortune telling”.

The most successful people in life tend to be “at cause” instead of “at effect” and they tend to be proactive and take responsibility for their own lives and their own decisions.

We already have a good mechanism built in to our minds for how to use Remote Viewing on whether or not something will be a good decision for you.  I first learned this from my friend Dr. John La Tourrette, and he’s the one who also showed me how to use it along with Remote Viewing.

Remember a time when you made a decision and it turned out really good.

Now remember the moment when you made the decision to take that action.

Where did you “see” the thought of doing whatever it is you did?

If you aren’t sure where you “see” that decision as you experience making that decision again, then POINT to where you have that decision.  Now notice if it’s a big picture or small, bright or dark, color or black and white, how far away it is from your body…

(Here’s a good calibration tool:  Start to pay attention to where people look and gesture when they talk.  Pay attention to your own gestures.  When you’re talking about doing some activity, where do you tend to point?  This would take an entire article to cover.  Maybe more on this later…)

What body sensations and feelings did you have?

Where specifically in your body did you feel those feelings?  Where did the feeling start?  Where did it go from there?

For instance, if I’m about to make a bad decision, I’ll notice a feeling like my brains dropping out my ass.  I’ll notice the picture of that decision is in a different location than a good decision.  I’ll notice certain body sensations…

And those are DIFFERENT than the locations and feelings about a good decision.

But wait!

There’s MORE!

What if you really want to do something, and it comes up as a “bad decision”?

Sometimes a bad decision can be turned in to a good decision just by changing some of the variables.

For instance, say I want a new job.  And I have a certain type of job in mind.

This really happened to me, by the way…

When I worked in telecom, I was bored with my job and pretty much hated it.

Some of my friends there had contacts with various vendors they used to work with, so they told me about a job opening I could start the very next Monday.  Even included hotel, travel expenses and $40 bucks a day for food, which was about twice as much as I was spending at the time.

It was like a dream come true as far as a career move – I’d have had more experience, I would have moved up the pay scale and had a better resume, I’d have had some variety in my job.

But when I thought about the decision to go there, it just felt bad.

Real bad.

So even though my friends had put in a good word for me and helped me out, I turned the job down.

A couple weeks later, that company laid off over 3,000 people.

I would have been one of them.

So that particular job at that particular time was a bad decision.

But finding a new job was a good decision.

Sometimes it’s real simple.  Like I want to go to the mall.  And as I’m about to go a certain route, I have a “bad decision feeling” so I simply go a different way, and find out I avoided a nasty traffic jam.

What’s another example?

There really are countless ways you can start to notice and use this.

A couple of my friends wanted sushi.

Having sushi is neither a good decision nor a bad decision.  Usually.

But the one friend has good calibration skills, and he just felt bad about the sushi.

The other one saw food and his eyes got bigger than his plate.  He ended up sicker than a dog with food poisoning.

The friend who calibrated correctly took steps to stay healthy.

There have been times when I wanted to do a specific project, and I got a bad feeling about it.

So I asked the magic question “If I COULD do the project I want to do and have it be a good decision, how would I do that?”

The answer that came back to me was “Do the project with so-and-so instead of the person you were thinking about doing the project with!”

I’ve actually gone against that calibration before just because I was good friends with someone and was excited about the project, and I agreed to do it with them anyway.

The whole thing fell through.

Another time I had a bad feeling about doing a project with a friend, and it was a project I was interested in doing, so I asked that magic question again “If I could do X and make it work, how would I?”

The answer that came back to me was “do that project with so-and-so instead” and so I did that project with them, and not only did it go well, I also learned a lot of cool things from my friend that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.

You want to make sure you calibrate those feelings based on a good decision you’ve made and a bad decision you’ve made, not just good or bad feelings.

There’s a huge difference there, and most people don’t know it.

Good and bad feelings are oftentimes just a byproduct of our previous brainwashing.

I feel bad about having a beer once in awhile because my uncles were alcoholics.

I feel bad or good about certain topics based on religious (or non-religious) programming, or because of how I was brought up, or because mommy and daddy said…

I remember one time I wanted to ask a really hot woman out, and I had this bad feeling of catching nasty diseases.  So I thought it was “The Lord” telling me to stay away from her.

But once I learned some basic calibration skills, I began to realize it was just brainwashing I got from other people telling me how God would “smite” me if I did things they didn’t approve of…

Here’s another funny example.

I have a friend who wanted to rent or sell his house.  He wanted to keep his “junk” in the garage and basement though, so he started thinking of people he knew that he could sell or rent the house to so he could get the money for the place and still get to keep all his crap there.

He called me up and wanted to show me the house.

Before showing me the house, he told me the story about how “The Lord” told him to give me a call to look at the house.  The funny thing is, his location for “The Lord Told Him” was his location for inner dialog, his own self talk.

Basically, he was talking to himself and hallucinated “The Lord” telling him what to do.  (By the way, this sort of thing happens all the time – the preacher gets up and reads “Thus sayeth, the Lord, Today if you HEAR MY VOICE…” and over time it gets embedded in to the subconscious that the preacher’s voice is the voice of the Lord, even if we know from a rational point of view that it just ain’t so!)

But then other times, you got that inner voice that gives you real good advice, and you know to pay real close attention.

And as you begin to pay attention and calibrate those feelings, those locations, those qualities as you think about what it is you want to do, you’ll have something that is much more valuable than a “psychic hotline”.

And you’ll be the one who is in control of your own life instead of hoping for someone else’s blessing or approval or depending on someone else to predict your future for you.

I hope this explains what I posted in my “tweet” a little bit better than what I could do with 140 characters.
