Remote Viewing

[OPM]

Just came across this incredible story of the power of the human mind.
At this site, there are two vids that describe this process known as remote viewing. One of them is a broadcast from Japanese television in which Major Ed Dames ( a pioneer in the field of remote viewing) and his student, Aaron Donahue help locate the mother of a man named Cliff. He was apparently orphaned as a baby because the mother wanted to give him a better life in the U.S. Cliff had not seen his mother for 45 years. The only thing that the remote viewers had to go by was a photo of Cliff's mom. These guys went to Japan and actually located Cliff's mom and helped the two reunite. An incredible story.
What I was wondering is if any message board people have ever heard of remote viewing.
This is the address of a vid from the program "In Search Of" that explains about remote viewing: http://ummo.cc/Media/insearch.mov
My question to you all is [B]"If you could harness this power, what would you do with it?"

it's just another new hyped up pseudo science like reiki, touch therapy, psychic readings, etc. etc.

But if you actually could remote view, how would you use this power?

hard to say, what could you do with it if you're not in law enforcement? I suppose I may track down some of my favorite band members and "accidentially" bump into them at a bar or something and end up in a cool conversation.

Wish I could find some good buddage by remote viewing...

i'd track down some of the biggest drug dealers and get into some serious shit! joking...i'd probably get shot.

i'd use the power to find this girl that i've had a long crush for and try to work things out with her....maybe. i'd probably just meet someone famous.

Exactly. Sure, there's bound to be some incredible coincidences from time to time, but all sorts of scientific studies have shown that people don't do any better than chance when trying to accomplish remote viewing. Now if some psychic started solving dozens of murder cases, I might believe it, but as of now there's no reason to believe we have any way to retrieve information except through senses tied to our sensual organs (i.e. seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing and feeling).

Might I remind you that the James Randi Educational Foundation is offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can show, using agreed upon circumstances in which the possibility of cheating is eliminated, that they possess any paranormal ability. It has been up for grabs for years and no psychic has claimed it yet, even though it should be quite trivial if they actually possess such powers.

But if remote viewing was possible, and I could perform it, I think testosterone would get the best of me.
