The Home of CRV Training in CanadaBy Lyn Buchanan
Something is happening to the collective unconscious - something wonderful.
When CRV training began for the military, around 15 years ago, the course was designed to be an estimated 3 years in length. It was shortened to 1 year, due to financial cuts. Everyone said that CRV can't be taught in a single year - yet, they began turning out good remote viewers. Their dire predictions had been wrong.
Some years later, the finances were cut again, and the length of training was cut to 6 months. Everyone complained that CRV can't be taught in 6 months - yet, they began turning out good remote viewers. Again, the dire predictions proved wrong.
Another few years and the finances were cut again. Training now had to be done in 3 months. Everyone yelled and screamed that CRV can't be trained in so short a time. Yet, the last CRVer - the one trained according to that schedule, turned out to be an excellent viewer after only a few months of follow-on practice and on-the-job experience. Again, we had been wrong.
After military service, I was giving private instruction to governmental people who had heard of CRV from within various agencies for which they worked. I had expected to train no more than 4 people per year. About this same time, Ed Dames asked me to do some training for him: some government people who lived here in the D.C. area who didn't want to go to Albuquerque, and had contacted him for training. His schedule of training would be one day per week for 7 weeks. I complained that CRV can't be taught in so short a time, but after training and a few months of practice, the students turned out to be good viewers. I had been wrong again.
Shortly after that, Ed asked me to be PsiTech's Director of Training, but I had other plans for research in brainwave biofeedback, so turned his offer down. He started training on his own, holding a 9 day course, straight through. I told Ed at the time that CRV can't be taught in 9 days. Yet, from what I hear through the grapevine, those of his students who continue to practice and work at it for 6 months to a year afterward are turning out to be excellent viewers. Again, I had to eat my words.
At the same time, I started teaching my present schedule: 3 courses of 3 days each, with months of practice and work in between. The average time span for the entire course was also between 6 months and a year and those who continued to practice and work have also turned out to be excellent viewers. I had set my course timing correctly, I thought. I predicted that to teach any faster than that could not be done effectively.
I noticed recently, however, that students are beginning to catch onto - and integrate - the essentials a lot more rapidly than before. Practice time between the course segments has been getting shorter and shorter. I thought little of this until this last three weeks. On December 27-31, I taught 4 students (2 monitors/2 viewers) here in Mechanicsville, and was amazed at their results. By the time they finished the first 3 days of training, the "indicators" were evident that they had already begun to internalize the essentials and were almost ready to go on to further training. This has not happened before.
The next week, I went to Los Angeles and taught a class of 14 people. Since I believe very strongly that certain parts of CRV training must be done in a one-on-one environment, I taught theory and principles in the first 2 days to the entire group, then took one viewer/monitor pair per day for the next 7 days. At the end of each pair's third day of training, the indicators were very strong that the basics were almost fully internalized and that they were almost completely ready to continue with Intermediate course training with little, if any practice time in between. I am still stunned by their quickness.
Rupert Sheldrake was evidently on to something. Of course, by its very nature, CRV training is nothing more than teaching a person to establish a direct, solid, and dependable link between the individual and the "collective unconscious", or as Sheldrake calls it, the "morphic resonance" of the human race. As such, CRV appears to be kicking the collective unconscious in just the right place to get its undivided attention. People seem to be establishing this link in a miniscule fraction of the time it once took. A graduate student who came and assisted with the Los Angeles training was as amazed as I was. He commented one evening at dinner that, "It took me 7 months to get to the point they're at after only 3 days!"
I had never expected anything like this to happen. I could never have planned for such a thing. In fact, I didn't even see it coming. Now, it is fascinating me to see how, one person at a time, these people are actually participating in an active "forcing open" of the greater potentials of Humankind. I had thought I was just teaching them structure. I didn't know it was going to make a difference in Humanity, itself.
During almost two weeks in Los Angeles, I spent almost the entire time in a hotel room, doing nothing but training - up to 14 hours a day. I went there thinking I would be totally exhausted by the time I got back. When I returned, however, I was charged up and excited over the realization of what is happening. In some way that I don't fully understand, we seem to be making a difference not just in our own individual abilities, but also in Mankind's ability to understand and access the infinite. I'm so stoked up about it, I just had to let someone know.
