College and University Syllabus for Remote
Viewing
This is a suggested syllabus for a stand-alone undergraduate or graduate
course in remote viewing focusing on RV theory as well as RV military
and scientific applications history. The course may be taught as a lecture
course or as a smaller seminar. This syllabus is placed in the public
domain and may be used freely in the context of any college or university
course with or without modification. This syllabus is only offered as
a suggestion to promote further thought in remote-viewing related pedagogy.
It is expected that all instructors will adapt these ideas to fit their
own views on course development. In particular, instructors of graduate
courses may wish to supplement the suggested reading lists below with
others found in the remote viewing as
well as the physics and math
bibliographies.
Course Title: Remote Viewing — Its History, Science,
and Theory
Course Description: This course introduces students
to the subject of remote viewing. The course begins by treating remote
viewing historically, starting with the early development efforts that
were largely funded by the United Stated government. The course then addresses
the science and theory of the remote-viewing phenomenon. In the third
part of the course, remote viewing is examined philosophically, especially
with respect to its potential impact on contemporary scientific paradigms.
