How Does CRV Relate to "Being Psychic"?
CRV relates to "being psychic" only in that it provides an excellent methodology for getting "psychic" information from the subconscious to the conscious, where it can be objectified, either verbally or in writing.
The fact that the protocols are designed to prevent contamination of thought make CRV training ideal for consultants, psychotherapists, interviewers, and psychiatrists to keep their interviewing pure of personal contamination. There is presently a furor in the psychiatric community about a doctor's ability to - even unintentionally - plant "false memories" into the mind of a susceptable patient. The suspicions, desires, belief systems, or fears of the doctor find their way into the interview process, and the susceptable patient, on an unconscious level, accepts the doctor's "STRAY CATs" as a part of his/her own mental condition. The tendency is very subtle, and there are presently no FIRMLY STANDARDIZED methodologies set up to prevent the doctor/patient relationship from creating false memory syndrome (FMS).
Although the protocols of CRV are useful for many other such human endeavors, it is in the area of psychic performance where it has gained it widest acceptance. In fact, it was for that purpose that CRV was first developed. CRV allows a person to "cue" him/herself, or to be "cued" by someone else, for information which could only be gained through psychic means. For example, a CRV task which is given to a viewer rarely ever contains information about the target. You might task a regular psychic with, "What will my chances be of getting the job?". Not so with a CRVer. You would task that question to a CRVer by writing it on a sheet of paper as a question, giving that question a specific number, say, "95121201", and then asking the CRVer, "What is the answer to question number 95121201?" The CRVer is forced to answer on a purely psychic level, without contaminating information. Any information other than that starts the viewer's imagination, emotions, etc., and produces "STRAY CATs" which can totally ruin a CRV session.
So the CRV process is NOT THE SAME AS BEING PSYCHIC. The relationship of CRV to "being psychic" is that the CRV process and protocols allow a trained person to access that part of his/her mind which IS psychic, and to do so on a dependable, repeatable basis.
"Being psychic" is a condition of the human species. CRV is merely a methodology which allows for the accurate, dependable and repeatable use of that condition.
