It works much of the time, but it is pattern-recognition. Suppose a young girl is murdered. Now, it is possible, using the location at which the body was dumped/found, whether or not it has been sexually assaulted, and so on and so forth, to construct a sort of general type of person who might have committed the crime.
From this a remote viewer is then able to take into consideration other details and, miraculously, give the name of a person who fits into the pattern.
Often remote viewers have no idea how they do it. They believe that they really do have some sort of paranormal power of something like that.
It is, however, merely a very advanced form of pattern-recognition.

I think you better do more research.

We have no conscious control of the beating of our heart or our attempts to keep breathing.
In effect, what you have said is backing up my statement.

We do not use all parts of our minds.

Then again, if I were to ding everyone for their poor grasp of English then I would never stop.

So that`s the level you have sunk too.

On that very same site that you have posted there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the home page, though I am not sure if it is present on the page that you linked to.

Hmmmm... Slightly suspicious, methinks.
Quote:
What is being lost on much of the public, in all of the confusion, is the breakthrough discovery that was created by Ingo Swann at Stanford Research Institute.
This was the real *breakthrough* from the years of research, and the work done in the military unit.
Ingo Swann, a brilliant natural psychic, focused his attention inward and looked at his own process, developing a model of how his own mind accessed information from the collective unconscious, and created a method by which anyone could learn to accurately obtain information on any person, place, thing and event in the past, present or future.
The ability to remote view is not limited to a few natural psychics. It is an innate ability that all humans possess. However, like language, it is something that must be learned, to be effective.
As human beings, data and information is constantly flowing through our perceptual apparatus. We are all constantly accessing information, but unlike natural psychics, most of us can not control the flow of data or lock on to it consistently. Our "psi muscles" are underdeveloped.
When properly trained, this remote viewing structure allows any of us to lock on to the signal line, slowing down the process so that we can retrieve accurate data, more accurately and more consistently than the best natural psychics. The structure is also self correcting, and brilliantly separates the viewer's analysis and imagination from the actual data.

Hmmm... Sounds rather conceited and biased. 'A brilliant natural psychic'; 'the real *breakthrough*'.
I can say nothing of the page to which you directed, however, neither having read it properly beyond a cursory glance, nor particularly wanting to read it properly beyond a cursory glance, nor particularly believing a word of what I read in it.
In any case, as that appears to be a website promoting the existence of psychics and remote viewing, it is not exactly the best source to quote when in an argument with skeptics. The best source to quote would be one which is neither for or against their existence and so on and so forth. Think Wikipedia: a good article is one which one uses sources with a neutral point of view. I suggest that would be a good thing to do here, particularly to encourage me to read it properly. I really don't have time for vanity publishing.
As for 'sinking to that level', I find that most insulting. I was not sinking to any level; I was merely suggesting that, if you wish to be taken seriously, you improve your general grasp of English. It presents a much more professional image, will cause more people to look at you with respect for your opinions and ideas and will, in general, support your views much better, not least because people will be able to understand you.
As for the using all parts of our brains or minds: I give up. You are obviously not going to give up on your line of argument. I continue to disagree, but frankly I can't be bothered to argue with you.
