The Remarkable Journey

by Kimberly Snow

What happens at the moment of death has been one of man’s greatest mysteries. Do we perish forever with our physical bodies, from dust to dust, having lived our lives to simply decay like dead foliage nourishing new growth? Is our fate at the end of this miraculous journey called life to lay six feet under and push up weeds for the next generation? Or do we leave our earthly bodies, rise up into the ether to join those souls who have gone before? Do we join once more with a heavenly Creator in a great cosmic exchange of energy?

In the myriad and complex world of human mythology, there are commonalties among various cultures across the globe in regards to life after death and the journey one takes when one leaves his or her earthly body. In Western mythology, the Greeks and Romans believed that when one dies, his soul is guided to the Underworld where he stands on the shore of the River Styx and awaits the ferryman, Charon, to take him across to the other side. This belief was so prevalent that those who mourned the dead would place coins in the mouth of the deceased, for the soul to give to Charon as a toll or fare. For without the proper fare, the soul would become a ghost and haunt the earthly realm for a hundred years. In legends of India there is also a river, called the Vaitamee, filled with boiling water that souls must traverse. If they are good souls, their passage is harmless. If they are bad souls, they will be tormented with horrendous pain and suffering.

This passage is a common theme, and often parallels the theory that death is not finality, but a beginning; a symbolic birth–and perhaps even a real one–into a new reality the likes of which we can only imagine. This myth of death as a birth can be found in cultures all over the world. In Nordic mythology, death is another level that we reach; it is not the end of our lives, but a continuation. This idea of birth, or rebirth, is perhaps most prevalent in the beliefs of the Tibetan Buddhists. For them, death leads to enlightenment, and is merely a phase of transition on the path to rebirth. Some religious death myths parallel nature itself, such as that of the Celtic people who believed during the winter solstice, the Goddess gives birth to the new Divine year in an endless cycle of life and death. As the snake sheds its skin, so too, our physical death is a mere transition, a shedding of our soul’s shell or tabernacle, leaving us renewed and vital.

Perhaps one of the most universal themes of life after death is the belief that when we die there are levels or steps that we must climb to reach the Source once more. In Western culture, there is the familiar Biblical story of Jacob, in which he sees a ladder that leads up to heaven. In some ancient medieval texts the soul also is escorted through levels, through the seven heavens toward its final judgement before God. The Muslims share the belief there are eight levels to paradise, which they call al-Junnah. When Muhammad undertook his journey to heaven from the Jerusalem based al-Aqsa mosque, he rose up on a ladder made of light. Muhammad himself said that this ladder was “that to which the dying man looks when death approaches.”

Tunnels, vortexes and spirals are common death themes as well. Again, Muslims believe that heaven is a brilliant cosmic center of light. Native Americans tell of the near death experience of Black Elk as a boy. During the experience he was shown a vision of a circle or hoop, which included the four directions and the world’s center which was positioned on an axis that ran from the earth up to the sky–a typical Native American Mandala. Mandalas are geometric patterns that represent the universe or cosmos and are often seen by near-death experience survivors during their death experience. In some religions, mandalas are meditated upon as a means for enlightenment or to receive revelations about the personal journey of the soul.

So what does happen at the moment of death, when our physical human bodies cease functioning? PSI TECH recently tasked its students to find out. The cue employed was Human Physical Death Event/Ethereal Activity.

Each week students of TRV University’s Technical Remote Viewing courses are given a blind target of the week. They do not know what the target will be. It could be anything–a person, place, event, object, or idea-in any space or time. The students begin their session with nothing more than a stack of paper, a pen, and a randomly chosen eight-digit number that has been applied to the target for administrative purposes only.

The results were amazing, and the corroborated data on many of the sessions were so startling, that even the most hardcore skeptics would be hard pressed to deny their significance.

There were some particularly common themes that ran through many of the sessions. The idea of the “ladder” or “steps” was one such theme. Joni Dourif, President of PSI TECH, says that these “steps” or “ladders” have been a recurring image in TRV data gathered over twenty plus years on targets of this nature. She speculates that the vertical or parallel set of lines or steps lining a path or passage that is prevalent in many of the sessions are representative of the steps the soul takes or climbs on its journey in the after life back or to their next destination. This idea or aspect of the death event is so ingrained in the collective unconscious, that it appears universally in religious beliefs across the globe. Some of the data regarding this aspect that appeared in the recent target of the week sessions include: Jacob’s ladder, like pieces of a ladder, like a long road to get there, like a flow of something but supported, stairs, stairway to heaven, connecting one to another, like on a step on a long journey, and a step,

Another element that appeared in many of the sessions was the idea that death is not an end, but conversely, a birth into a bigger reality. Some of the corroborating data on this aspect from the recent sessions include: birth, canal, babies, sperm, this is a birth, mothering, coming out of something, pushing it out!, baby, mother, going into a new phase in a big way, a birth, a new phase, a new way, related to an idea or plan involving a rebirth, rebirth, and like the fertilization process for life conception. One student sketched what appeared to be a pelvis and birth canal, a symbolic representation of this new birth or rebirth process. Often on esoteric targets in which the human thesaurus is too limited for understanding the physical data at the target site, the Matrix will deliver up symbols or metaphors in this way.

One theme that appeared in many of the sessions was that of a river or path that the soul journeys on or through after physical death. Some of the data included: a flowing aspect that curved in and out, a flowing, rushing sound, like a flow of something, flowing, a flow of a river, canal, flow, a river, a crossing, cascading, wonderful floating feeling, aqua, up a creek, flows or is transferred, flow of energy, like a mountain stream, winding, rushing, undulating, stream or river, and waterfall. Many of the sketches produced wavy lines–gestalts representing a flowing aspect or liquid. In some sketches, there were lifeform gestalts depicted going into this winding, snake-like flow or path and traveling through it or across it.

The last common aspect, and perhaps the most powerful and prevalent in the sessions, was that of a vast, whirling tunnel-like vortex, or a spiraling, spinning circular force in which lifeforms moved into and through, often with a small circle or opening in the center like an eye. This aspect was most commonly seen in the sketches, but some of the data relating to those sketches include: going into, tubular, funnel, tube, like a lava tube, spinning, rotating, coils, tubular center to it and rotating movement, jet-like, powerful on a huge scale, spiraling, going up into, spinning fast, corridor, vast, eye, the center going down to the heart, volcano, and tornado. The sketches usually depicted lifeforms traveling into this vortex or spiraling aspect, toward the center. It was here that many of the “ride-like” emotion were declared, such as: hang on!, ride, homeward bound, reaching skyward, going for the stars, wild ride, flying or ride in the air, best view yet, weee eeee!, and like a ride.

The steps. The birth. The river. The vortex. These are four themes that appear in death myths across the globe. They are themes recounted by prophets, poets, shamans, and near death experience survivors since the dawn of man. Since the first man walked on earth, death has followed him, and since that time, billions of humans have come and gone, all leaving their physical bodies behind to decay. The human death event is perhaps one of the most ingrained events in the collective human unconscious. Perhaps that is why the data from the recent grouping of sessions showed such remarkable corroboration.

But the analysis of the students are perhaps the most telling of all: The exchange of spirit and flesh from and to this world, the way we come into the world, this is a birth, an almost instantaneous evolution or transition of mankind, the rapture, the end of the world as we know it, the revealing of a higher power that initiates change in the world, upcoming changes in someone’s life, souls ascending to heaven, a superior force putting things in proper order, a death process, where you go when you die, a lifeform feels very small compared to physical surroundings and some larger power, a person being saved from destruction, a reminder to fix one’s gaze on long-term goals and cycles, the spirit of God initiating life, and the development of consciousness in a person.

Finally, the emotions at the target site perceived by the students during their sessions were consistent across the board–emotions of joy, love, being refreshed, renewed, excitement, exhilaration, an emotional discharge, true love forever, freedom, peace, calm, contentment, celebratory and forgiveness. One student wrote, “This is the first session where I felt a distinct sense of joy.”

But perhaps the most overwhelming sensation was that of love. And perhaps it is through our final most important journey, when at the moment of our physical death the soul leaves behind the world as we know it and takes its first step toward home, that we come to realize, and are reminded of, how precious and wonderful life really is.

Professor Ideo Introduces TRV.COM & Teaches Technical Remote Viewing To The World

by Dane Spotts

       Who is he? Where did he come from? Where did he get that odd voice and mannerism? His name is Professor Ideo, PSI TECH’s new virtual instructor. He is a computer animation designed to teach the world about Technical Remote Viewing®. He is also the master of ceremonies for PSI
TECH’s newest website TRV.COM (which will be officially launched sometime next week.)

       TRV.COM was developed to teach the public about TRV® and to showcase PSI TECH’s special project video reports. A new information service developed by PSI TECH. Before I explain what it’s all about and the vision for PSI TECH’s latest internet venture, lets have Professor Ideo introduce himself ….

Click On The Image Below To See And Hear Professor Ideo Talk


      One of the most difficult tasks we face at PSI TECH is explaining what TRV is and isn’t. Making people see the phenomenal benefits of possessing a skill unlike anything ever thought possible. Most people have preconceived ideas about what remote viewing is and how it works. Or if it’s the first time they ever heard about the concept that the human mind is capable of downloading information outside of time or space, they think you are talking about something out of a science fiction novel. You’ve heard me write about how its much like selling round-the-world cruises to people who still believe the world is flat. That’s because the technology is so young and so paradigm-shattering and incredible, it’s hard to get your mind around it, let alone understand what it means to be proficient in this skill. Though for those of us who have been practicing it for years, we can’t imagine a life not being able to do this. We believe that Professor Ideo with his mild and indelible presentation style can help clear away some of the cobwebs in people’s minds.

       “He has a way of making difficult concepts come to life with his cool slide show,” said one of his students. “I just love his little bald head, and dorky manner. Makes me pay attention more than a talking head would,” says another. Modeled after Carl Jung, the father of modern psychology - it was just 100 years ago that he predicted mankind would at the turn of the 21st century, discover how to tap his intuitive function. That is the promise of TRV and PSI TECH’s mission. So what better role model for Professor Ideo to follow. The creative minds at PSI TECH gave birth to Professor Gestaultus Ideo. Professor Ideo for short.

What You Can Learn And Do At TRV.COM

       TRV.com is PSI TECH’s new information portal for learning about TRV and accessing TRV related information. You can watch special lectures on What TRV is, and How TRV Works hosted by our new virtual instructor Professsor Ideo. In addition you’ll be able to take PSI TECH’s “remote viewing aptitude test” to test your psychic abilities and get a taste of how remote viewing works. This will allow you to quickly and easily prove to yourself that you can remote view. It’s called TRV QuickStart, and its all online and available at the click of your mouse button.

       We also have a new special dedicated area for PSI TECH’s special operations video reports. These are presentations from the new “PSI TECH Investigates” series…where you will be able to watch the special operations team in action providing answers to life’s biggest unsolved mysteries. The first to air will be “Project Afterlife” which was a 2-year project involving hundreds of TRV sessions and provides compelling answers to “What Happens When We Die.” In the weeks and months to follow, we will highlight many of PSI TECH’s other projects including, “What are Crop Circles” “The Truth About Ghosts,” “The UFO Enigma,” “Future Humans,” and so much more.

       It’s TRV at its best, being able to solve mysteries and provide answers to questions and problems. We think you will enjoy this new series and trv.com. Just bookmark it and come back often.

The Resurrection - Fact Or Fiction


By Kimberly Snow

At the one year point in my TRV® training, I sat down at my dining room table and prepared to do the newest PSI TECH Target of the Week. I was a relatively new PSI TECH student of Technical Remote Viewing®, but with the combination of Joni Dourif’s patient guidance, and my continual practice, I had become a consistent remote viewer, having my share of good solid ‘hits’ under my belt.

From Sting To The Pope

The Target Of The Week (TOTW) was a blind target posted each week, which students then TRVed, posting their session results on PSI TECH’s online bulletin board for feedback and critique. The targets were varied, ranging from esoteric targets involving unsolved anomalies, to simple calibration targets involving known places, people, and events. These latter targets were given to insure that students were staying in structure and on target, as the feedback was known and immediate. Some of the more recent TOTW’s at the time included the singer/songwriter Sting, the pyramids of Giza, the
Mozambique flood rescue efforts, and the Pope. The target I was about to remote view could be anything.

The students never know what the target is until after their session is posted and they are given feedback. Until that time, they are simply given a random eight digit number, called a Target Reference NumberTM, which has no connection or significance to the target itself and is merely used for administrative purposes. And so with pen in hand, I noted the time, 12:53, and began my blind Technical Remote Viewing session.

It wasn’t long before I had produced my ideograms, decoded them, and was gleaning raw data from the Matrix on my target.

I Felt Nervous And Breathless

Technical Remote Viewing works by moving from

the general to the specific. As the session began, I got data that the target was inside, where it was flat and low. There was a grating, grinding sound and the colors brown, red and yellow were associated with the target. I had data that the target was “like skewered”, and intangible data of “destroying” and “stay back.” I immediately felt nervous and breathless, and declared my emotions as protocol demanded, waiting for them to dissipate before continuing on. The feeling of being breathless and agitated, however, did not dissipate, and so I decided it was best to take a break.

When I resumed, I began to explore one aspect of the target site, which I described as an “event”. It was white and bright, and I had an Analytical Overlay of “searing light”. There was data of luminescence, airy, gaseous, hot and rushing with a hissing sound. My emotions were refreshed by this aspect, and it came down from high above. As it descended, I sketched it as a beam of light, beginning at a point high above the earth and radiating out as it descended, like a massive flashlight beam, down to Earth’s hemisphere. The Intangibles of “coming down”, “washing over” and “forgiveness” were primary intangibles associated with this white light, and I perceived an emotion emanating from the light of “loving”. I also had an Analytical Overlay of “grace.” At this point I declared my own emotions of “joyful” and “tearful”. But not only did I feel these emotions, they literally swept over me until by the end of my Stage Four I was in tears. I had to take another break, for the tears in my eyes were blurring my vision.

More Powerful Than Almost Any Other

What was this feeling that had overtaken me? What was this sensation that was welling up inside of me–that I could not shake, try as I might? I suddenly felt like a child, being embraced by a parent whose love was so powerful, whose grace and benevolence so great, that all that I had done before that moment in my life paled in comparison. The light was beautiful, effortless, perfect. It was a mercy I had never felt before, and it washed over me with such a cleansing feel that my tears became tears of shame. It was the unequivocal feeling of being forgiven; a feeling I have come to learn is more powerful than almost any other.

But the session was only halfway over. I knew if I was to get any data that would be of use, I must get over my emotions and dive back into the session fresh and alert, with no assumptions about what the target might be.

At 1:17 I had wiped my tears, collected myself, and plunged back in. I began with an exploration of another aspect of the target site. This was a grouping of round, undulating lifeforms. The colors white, black and red were associated with them. I had the perception that there were two different kinds of lifeforms in this grouping. The first were humans. The second was a different group, soft, feathery, sweet that undulated. I had the Analytical Overlay of both people and angels. The human lifeforms were sad and angry. There was the Intangible of yearning, and they were looking up, watching this event, this incredible white light source that was beaming down to the target site.

I Sat Stunned As I looked

By the time I had finished the session and wrote end, I was exhausted. I felt as if I had been through an emotional event of such magnitude, that it left me drained and deeply introspective. For fifteen minutes after ending the session, I sat in awe of what had transpired, wondering what the target was and why I was still sobbing. Thoughts raced through my mind. Memories washed over me. I thought of my beautiful mother, her unconditional love, her kindness and vitality, and then I thought of the day I realized she was gone and would never come back, that she had been taken from me when I was just a teen. And then I thought again of her by my side, running a cool hand along my cheek, drying my tears and holding me once more. This is how the session had made me feel. As if I had possessed something that filled my heart with love, then lost it, then found it once again.

It was several days later, after posting my session on the online classroom bulletin board with the other students, that Joni revealed to us the cue: Jesus of Nazareth / Resurrection Event.

I sat stunned as I looked at the cue. All of the emotions that I had felt during the session came flooding back to me once more. The love. The grace. The forgiveness. The sadness. It wasn’t just a myth, a story in a book written by men, as I had once believed. The resurrection was a real event, involving a massive and powerful light source from above, that filled the space it occupied with a love so strong that it had brought me to tears.

A Life-Altering Moment

I spoke with other students of TRV who had similar experiences with that particular blind target. One viewer, Dolores, said that when she saw the feedback for the resurrection event TOTW, she too was amazed. She writes: “I was so impressed with the coinciding data from my fellow TRVers that participated in this TOTW. I am still doing TRV today because of the effect this session produced on me. Some people may think this is perhaps not a true event, it is a story or whatever, but because our TRV descriptions fit the narrative — as I know it– I was really impressed. We were describing what actually happened!”

It was an unforgettable experience for me. It is uncommon for a Technical Remote Viewer to “feel” the emotions and events of the target he is remote viewing. TRV is a data collection skill, where the mind merely perceives target data from the Matrix, using rigorous military structure. The protocols were specifically developed to help prevent the viewers’ own assumptions and emotions regarding the target from tainting the flow of data. But every so often a viewer views a target so powerful, so intense, that the viewer “feels” the event. It is rare, but when it happens, it is an unforgettable experience.

From Belief To Knowing

It was a life-altering moment for me. While I had almost always been a spiritual person, I
had never adhered to any one particular religion as I continued on a seemingly endless search for truth in matters of the heart and soul. But in one afternoon, my wavering faith in a higher intelligence was not only solidified, but also turned into absolute resolution– changed from “belief”, to knowing. I have never questioned that faith again.
