It is the intent of the Dojo Psi that the living-history of remote viewing's development in the public sector not be erased, revised, or otherwise lost to the vagaries of time.

AOL (analytic overlay) drive (aka castlebuilding) is when in a session the conscious mind decides it thinks it knows what the target is.  From that point on, the session will be strongly colored by the opinion of the conscious mind.  THe prob is that sometimes the conscious mind jumps to an early incorrect conclusion about the target.  Hence the recommendation to try to avoid being too analystical during a session.  (instead save it for the summary).  I've seen a variety of methods and suggestions according to methodologies and/or individuals about how to combat aol drive.  First of all, how do you know you are doing it in the first place?  Second, if you suspect it, what techniques do you then imploy to try to combat it?

Greetings Eva
(and PJ, Compliments on another great site)!

Our Webmaster, "Wildfire", suggested I come over here and say "hi" and answer this question as a reflection of PSI TECH's new friendly spirit of the millennium. (yes, I'm *rolling my eyes* I thought I was friendly)!

Anyhow, the way we at PSI TECH deal with AOL's is to not try to shunt it because AOL's really are imagination and imagination has always had the job of helping the conscious mind piece things together quickly to makes sense of your world for you so you can't really "stop it" but you can learn how to recognize it and put in its place.

Here are some beginning tricks to recognize and deal with imagination during a RV  session that you can employ.

1.) You can out-run imagination.  After imagination has figured out your process it typically takes about 4 seconds to throw together pieces and present you with a conclusion.  Perceptual PSI data is immediate. As soon as you touch your pen to the paper, it is there and retrievable. So speed up and go very fast and you will outrun imagination.  It is a good idea to go fast in the beginning of your session anyway.

2) Don't wave your pen in the air, or pause too long - this invites imagination.

3.) Always drop your pen momentarily after you declare an AOL. This act physically reinforces the fact that you are dumping it. Remote Viewing should become robotic and dropping your pen is an instinctive act that communicates back to your system its identity.  Trust your body, its pure instinct when it's truly RVing and 50 percent bilocated. It's really your mind that you are training.

4.) Learn about the 4 different types of AOL's so that you will recognize the patterns.

5.) Take breaks at the appropriate places and on the breaks, abruptly change your environment. Get up and go outside for a few minutes. Imagination is easily seduced and easily distracted. When you return and before resuming your session, declare and dump any Advanced Visuals (AV's)  that may be sitting at the forefront of your mind. This is the process of dumping imagination - like "letting go" dumping AOL's takes time and patience and practice to learn how to do.

6. & 7. ) Educate yourself and Adjust your attitude about AOL's.

They will never go away. They are a part of your thinking apparatus however in a remote viewing session they can be very annoying. Accept them like you would your in-laws. Don't try to combat them. Declare them, dump them in their proper category, and move on.

The four types of AOL's are:
Ratcheting, Peacocking, Drive, Matching.

Learn the characteristics of each type of imaginations' maneuvers and even when it's in the matching mode, don't trust it because imagination is a fickle trickster by nature - it doesn't know how to be consistent and loyal, so, take what it gives you, declare it and dump it with a "Thank you very much" attitude and MOVE ON. Don't entertain it!

Images that are coda chrome and clear are almost always imagination where as images that are blurry and fleeting are the psi data (these usually occur at the end of your S2's).  You have to declare both however knowing which one is psi and which one is imagination is what Remote viewing is all about. So stay in structure by not allowing your perceptual apparatus to declare data out of it's category. Particularly in your S2's, if you have a color or texture in the dimension category, declare it as AOL. Treat it like you would leash train a puppy. Be consistent so it knows what to do and when to do it (It usually does want to please you)!

8.) Last of all, when you become very confident during a session, "that you know what the target is"  this is a sign of AOL-Drive. It has slipped in and you generally won't be declaring as many AOL's in this session. Everyone needs to be humbled by being in AOL-drive to learn how and where we are the most susceptible to imaginations wily ways.

Keep prodding along and remind yourself that you will learn more from your mistakes than your hits. This is a skill, so very simply, the more you do it, like any skill, the better you will get at it.


There's my NINE sense. Hope it helps!

Best Regards and Happy RVing!

Thank you, everything you said makes perfect sense to me, especially the information above. In all my life experiences, the first impressions are more accurate than the after thoughts. I hope you will post here often.

Hands-on constructive suggestions, thanks, those are the best down and dirty helpful stuff for people.

The 'don't delay' item reminds me of scantron tests in high school.  My teacher told us intuition and subconscious info often played a part and if we were clueless, to take the first answer that popped into our head as accurate--not 'think about it' unless we actually knew the information consciously.  It always worked for me. :-)
