ASSOCIATIVE REMOTE VIEWING -The Art and Science of Predicting Outcomes for Sport & Lottery

Thomas from Kilbirnie

People say: "If you are so psychic, how come you haven't won the lottery?" (Or made money in sports betting, the stock market or cryptocurrency?)

People say: "If you are so psychic, how come you haven't won the lottery?" (Or made money in sports betting, the stock market or cryptocurrency?)
Well, the truth is… remote viewers have had success in all of these areas!

Coauthors Debra Lynne Katz & Jon Knowles have been exploring and investigating applications of remote viewing for the past decade in both applied and formal scientific arenas. Now, with the help of many other practitioners whose work is showcased, they have pooled their extensive knowledge and produced a comprehensive book designed to be a “one-stop-shop” for anyone interested in learning about remote viewing, precognition, and clairvoyance, particularly as applied in stock and crypto trades, professional sports betting, horseracing, elections, and the lottery.

The authors show how those on the leading edge are using intuition paired with scientific principles to achieve these results today. They present extensive information about past and present remote viewing and parapsychological history, theories, research, and experiments.

This book is not for the casual reader. It is for those passionate about utilizing consciousness to push the limits of our human potential. It is for risk-takers who are seeking an intuitive advantage. It is for those obsessed with learning all they can about their psychic abilities and how this knowledge can be used to achieve personal and financial success while having fun and engaging with other like-minded enthusiasts.

The authors cover a wide range of topics relating to intuition and psi. Readers will learn in detail how to perform a remote viewing session, the purposeful use of dreams, the ins and outs of selecting targets, methods of tasking, scoring, judging, and project management as well as best practices, pitfalls, and the ethics of psi.

Debra Lynne Katz, Ph.D., is the Director of the International School of Clairvoyance and author of the groundbreaking books, “You Are Psychic: The Art of Clairvoyant Reading & Healing"; "Extraordinary Psychic"; "Freeing the Genie Within" & "The Complete Clairvoyant".

Jon Knowles, M.A., is author of “Remote Viewing from the Ground Up” (2017) and has 20 years’ experience as a remote viewer, analyst, project manager, group manager and instructor in TransDimensional Systems, the Aurora Remote Viewing Group and the Applied Precognition Project.
