Classic Reboot: Remote Viewing vs. Psychic Reading, Different Histories with Deborah Lynne Katz

Debra Lynne Katz, MSW, is both a talented remote viewer and a psychic reader. She is author of You Are Psychic: The Art of Psychic Reading & Healing, Extraordinary Psychic: Proven Techniques to Master Your Natural Psychic Abilities, and Freeing the Genie Within: Manifesting Abundance, Creativity, and Success in Life. She is a parapsychology researcher, having twice received the annual Warcollier Prize from the International Remote Viewing Association for an outstanding research proposal. She is the director of the International School of Clairvoyance.

Here she discusses points of similarity and difference between remote viewing and psychic reading. She notes that these two styles of psychic practice have different histories, contexts, and different communities that only occasionally interact with each other. She describes her training in both approaches – pointing out that, in each case, individuals who did not originally think of themselves as being psychic can be trained to use their latent abilities. Psychic readers are generally asked to offer personal and spiritual advice, while remote viewers are often tasked to solve practical problems. Each approach uses extrasensory ability and has something to offer the other.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).

What a great conversation! Thank you Jeffrey for all that you do, bringing para-psychology out and into the conversation.

[stephanietretton]

this lady's hand movements perfectly match her words, left and right... which tells me she is not talking from a book, but from what she knows, they tell a story too...

thx... great talk...

[sutraandseed]

oh she's good. You both are!! thanks for sharing your amazingness,
I also want to add that your energies are so clear and sincere and you both have an obvious desire to help people vs. desire to wow people and that comes out as you speak together. Loved this.

[davidlloyd]

[dr-k]

Loved this and hope to hear more from your wonderful guest.

[georgitchkhaidze]

Thank you for the wonderful interview!

[riaanvanniekerk]

An interesting concept is comparing reading yourself or finding your own things against complete strangers doing it. I find it easier to do this for others.

[brianlunsford]

Gratitude! Amazing information!! We continue our

[itsmyremoteviewingjourney]

great descriptions of the differences. very interesting.

I don't know much about Remote Viewing, but have the impression that in this field success is measured with specific metrics/kpis where the goal is to achieve accuracy in the information revealed. A psychic reader might be more validated by how new information shared with clients transforms awareness and unveils new levels of consciousness (understanding of reality), I guess this can be called a form of healing...

[JulieTasker]

Great to hear proper explanation of experiences of the same person working with Remote Viewing and also for ‘Psychic Reading’. Where does one way of working start and finish? I work with both - more with Remote Viewing yet I started with training in Spiritual Healing. I feel both enhance each other when I’m working ‘with energy’. Life is Energy.

Great thinkers aren’t All Scientists - and I think we’re definitely learning in life through the coronavirus approaches throughout the world, Scientists aren’t necessarily Great Thinkers 🤔

[gayajay]

Not that I don't believe in remote viewing because I do..., I've done it. My question is .., what's the point? Where is the evidence to show that remote viewing has actually benefited anyone or any organization? What about privacy issues? Who gets to decide what gets viewed?

[michaelfuerst]

There would be fewer skeptics if trained clairvoyants would make a greated effort to work with law enforcements seeking the whereabouts or fate of missing persons

[patoloco]

Do all of these people realize they could win a million dollars if they demonstrated any of their weird claims at the Amazing Randy Foundation?
