It is continually re-affirming to do some Remote Viewing sessions and remind your inner being that positive results are possible, that reality is bigger than we were conditioned to expect. There is a sense of amazement when you have a good connected session. Even if you already know that through RV experience or shamanic journeys or other activities, there continues to be a sense of wonder about it. It keeps your world a little bit larger.
If you practice Remote Viewing by using a target pool of photographs, then you will become good at describing photo targets. One could also work on applications viewing like missing person work, for instance. Practice for applications viewing might require familiarity with verbal taskings and with situations where feedback may be delayed. You might need to be able to work with some front-loading, enough to know whether location is important, or the health of the subject. Remote Viewing potentails are expanded by making changes in the set and setting.
The difference between Remote Viewing and other psi modes of perception is in the expetations about what is possible and the processes and procedures that are followed. The inner stages and states experienced during channeling, for instance, or automatic drawing, or seeing nature spirits are all very similar to the inner processes of Remote Viewing. They are different in the mental model of what is taking place and in the expressions of the results. They are similar in that they all need a neutral inner receptive state where one turns attention to the task at hand, percieves what arises and captures impressions in forms that can be communicated. That inner state is symbolized by the Cup or Grail.
If these things are the grail that so many have sought, the fundamental question is still ‘Whom does the grail serve?’. And I would add, ‘What is it capable of?’.
