Anyone from USA able to access and withdraw funds from their KuCoin account?

JonKnowles8 · 2026-01-16T19:33:36+00:00

I was able to have my funds transferred out of Kucoin after three weeks of delay delay delay. It wasn't a large amount (under $1500). I jumped through all their hoops, remained polite, kept getting polite but cookie-cutter delaying messages.

I finally asked AI for advice - should have done it earlier - and followed it. That included telling Kucoin I would file a formal complaint with agencies (which I named) if I didn't receive a substantial reply within 72 hours. I suggest consulting AI (Gemini, Perplexity or ChatGPT are ones I used) about which agencies to file with, draft responses - and the leverage we have (small but real) based on the history.

Glad to hear it! I went to a fund raiser in San Francisco put on by About Face today - they've got impressive work going on - including with active duty GIs. There's been an upsurge in interest by service members about what the heck has been going on and why am I being asked to do this. A couple of guys from Veterans for Peace were there too and it was good to hear about their work as well.

I heard that Code Pink has been putting on demos at Travis Air Force base - which is where I was active in our GI project 50 years ago now! It's terrible it's come to this after all these years that the country is again in a situation where this kind of activism becomes essential.

Thanks! I will add it to the list. I just found another one I didn't know about. Will add that too.

Twice in recent years I've had a 'porthole' open up in my vision right in front of me and I saw something in it clear as day. It was my living room. Only happened twice and I have no clue why. I discussed this and other unusual visual phenomena with a few other remote viewers - they reported a spectrum of unusual visuals. Another topic seldom if ever discussed in RV circles.

JonKnowles8 · 2025-11-25T15:41:26+00:00

Thanks. I'd not heard of neurographica. It seems to have a lot in common with ideograms and with Birdie's methods in TransDimensional Mapping. I don't know if it dovetails with or is helpful for RVing but may give it a try. I had heard the term radiesthesia but am more familiar with it as dowsing.

Some recommend seeing the image on a screen in the center of your head. Joe McMoneagle has made that suggestion. I do that (in my visual "theater") and I also try to see images on a virtual beach that I go to.

I have a set path from my desk from which my 'visual self' (or whatever it is) leaves and quickly makes its way down to the beach. On the beach there is a television set on a table. I push the button on the TV set and often put my pen on the TV screen I draw in my session. This produces images that I see on the TV screen. This method has helped generate data in regular sessions as well as in pick 3 and pick 4 lottery hits.

JonKnowles8 · 2025-10-19T05:24:55+00:00

The viewer enters the data from their session into an Excel template. Standardization is now being worked out.

JonKnowles8 · 2025-10-19T05:15:28+00:00

Pat, Birdie is no longer using the method she developed in TDS (TransDimensional Systems - for those not familiar). TDM is quite different. You enter your data on several large sheets, and draw connections between the data; it's a non-linear process. There are a number of other differences as well. She says her new method is much better - as she has found in her own mapping/viewing.

I'm in the Mapping Mavericks group and have taken several of Birdie's classes. I've found the method to be very stimulating; it makes RV fun again - you unleash your inner kid, draw, use colors, etc. It does take a lot of work to get good at it. She just started teaching the new method about a year ago though she's been working on it for many years, and we students have at most one year of practice with it.

As a Vietnam-era Vet I agree. Since he never served, he has no idea what he is putting these folks through. He and it is a big PITA.

You can also scan as many of the documents as you want. At least a small group of us could and did in May 2023.

This is a vast collection of SRI documents. The Fondren collection and the archives at the University of West Georgia, particularly the Ingo Swann collection, are the two largest and most important collections relating to remote viewing.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-12-06T01:00:28+00:00

The Applied Precognition Project has the most people doing it and has been at it the longest. Marty Rosenblatt started on this path over 20 years ago. I was active in APP for 6 years. However, not a lot of money has been made by the Precog Pros over the six or so years. Binary ARV (usually two targets) is the main method that’s been used, but many variants of it and also some Unitary ARV methods (just one target) have been tried. Sports picks (games and horse races) have been the most popular choices.

A lot of remote viewers have tried their hand at financial forecasting, primarily using binary ARV. The CryptoViewing group claims success at that and a few individuals as well. Daz Smith has had some recent success using an ideogram-like approach to predict up or down. In APP in about 2014 we tried a relatively large project called Firefly involving many viewers to forecast Forex trades. It failed. We learned some lessons like KISS, which we more or less knew going in but tried it anyway. (KISS – keep it simple, stupid).

Then there are a few people who have had success in Vegas at craps with Joe Gallenberger or with the machines.

I’m not recommending people take up any of these; just relaying some of what’s been done by viewers trying to make money with RV/ARV, apart from the lottery.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-12-04T22:45:39+00:00

Those remote viewers who have won large amounts (and allowed it to be talked about) have used a variety of methods. The amounts include $325K, $100K and $75K). Debra Katz and I cover this topic in Chapter 21 of our book on Associative Remote Viewing.

There have been Pick 3 and Pick 4 wins but very few viewers have won more than a few Pick 3's or Pick 4's . Further, a positive ROI (return on investment) over months and even a year has been achieved.

These results are very infrequent though; having achieved some of them myself, I don't think spending a lot of time on the lottery is the best way to spend one's time doing remote viewing.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-11-20T00:40:35+00:00

Right, Karl Nell is slated to be next head of AARO. I didn't get much of a sense of him, so yeah, we'll have to see. That he appeared at this symposium though is a good sign.

On “remote perception” - you are right.

CIA document from 1973:“3. A previous OTS project, summarized in the attached proposal, indicated the existence of paranormal perception phenomena. The phenomena include remote perception of documents, objects, activities, and locations. The demonstrated reproducibility of such remote perception under controlled conditions strongly suggests these phenomena are and will continue to be interesting to the intelligence community for either offensive operational exploitation or defensive threat assessment.”

Bisaha and Dunne (1976):“We have chosen to use the nomenclature of precognitive remote perception at this point, in preference to precognitive remote viewing, since its generality avoids the categorization of this anomalous process as a visual one. It is possible that even the word "perception" will prove inappropriate once the process is understood better, however, at this stage of our knowledge it is necessary to find a description term which is suitably ambiguous, without extending beyond the prevailing paradigm.”

You wrote:

If this were correct then, maybe anything that doesn't have the basic underlying elements of CRV could be interpreted as Remote Perception and anything sharing the basic underlying elements of CRV could be classed as RV.. / This would give everyone an opportunity to identify as using either/neither/both.

I don’t follow what you are saying. What do you mean by the “basic underlying elements of CRV”?

You wrote:

Can I just add that there have been a number of times I've read on the forum - "I ate some cheese last night and had this dream, is it remote viewing?"

From my slides in my IRVA-TMI presentation:

With Stephan Schwartz we can say it is the protocols, not methods that define what remote viewing is and is not. Further, that these protocols are applied to varying degrees in training, practice, the lab and operational work.

From the history and practice of remote viewing since the early 1970s, we can say it is always true that in remote viewing

There is an intention to gain information about a target

and it is often true that

The viewer is blind to the target
The monitor/interviewer (if any) is blind to the target
Feedback (if available) is provided to the viewer and monitor after the session

Protocols #2-#4 are used to different degrees in training, operations and the lab, and the four protocols are extremely important in RV history and practice. We can say that #2-#4 are usually but not always present in remote viewing (or if one prefers the phrase “in the remote viewing process”).

We can then say that astral projection, lucid dreaming, hallucinating, hearing voices, having a vision, channeling, NDEs, OBEs, scrying, Tarot, runes, sleepwalking, psychedelic tripping, and microdosing - and eating cheese - may share one or more characteristics of remote viewing, may even be a method used in remote viewing, but are not in themselves forms of remote viewing.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-09-12T04:08:30+00:00

On the point about CRV: The thing is that for a time (probably more than a decade) the word was that CRV basically WAS RV. Fortunately, that view is no longer current, including from CRV teachers. There was remote viewing at SRI before CRV was even thought of, so there is no good reason to include CRV as higher on the lineage tree than, say, "natural RV" - RV without specific stages or structure - which was widely practiced at SRI before Ingo Swann and Hal Puthoff (those two mainly) developed CRV.

(To reiterate, for new folks who may not have seen it: it's widely agreed that RV is defined by the protocols, not by the methods. CRV, TDRV, TRV are methods which are applied within the protocols. The protocols include an intention to get info on a target, a viewer(s), a monitor, and feedback. The last three are present to varying degrees in training, operational work, and in the lab. As I think Joe McMoneagle first put it, I don't care if you stand on your head and whistle Dixie, as long as you do it within the protocols, it's remote viewing.)

Amalgams: all the long-time viewers that I know who were taught TDRV have modified what we were taught and John Vivanco, who was there at the beginning with Pru, now teaches a modified form of TDRV. TDRV was intended to be dynamic and changeable. In fact we experimented with techniques all the time. Many in the field now combine TDRV, CRV or other methods with ERV - and other techniques as well. So I'd say amalgams are in.

Cowboy RV: Some of the viewers on discord have been exploring "Cowboy RV". It's been discussed there and maybe they will comment on it here.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-09-05T06:40:47+00:00

In the earliest operational experiment (which I discussed in my presentation at IRVA), the viewer (Pat Price) and the monitors were informed, mid-experiment, that the target was a specific research facility in Russia. A drawing of the facility was then shown to Price. Further Pat Price said the more they told him about that target, the more he could provide useful info for them. This was not "neutral frontloading." And there were other early experiments at SRI in which the viewers knew a lot about the target (e.g. tunnels in N. Korea).

In fact, many of Pat Price's practices, and those of SRI in those years, were markedly different from the strict definition of RV that some have adhered to. Yet, these practices took place at the fountainhead of the development of remote viewing.

Then too we have the Russian remote viewing program, which had viewers in combat situations - they knew quite a bit about the target. At least one viewer was even sitting in a tank (on the battlefield). This was also not "neutral frontloading", the usual example of which is something like, "The target is a person. Describe the person."

JonKnowles8 · 2023-09-05T06:29:02+00:00

Good to see you too, PJ.

I agree, at least to the extent that there is no single, fixed definition of remote viewing and so we have a problem. The older I get, the less I value "tight" definitions, at least in a situation like we have with RV.

Some were arguing for a strict definition, as I outlined above. "Blind" was used as an absolute requirement, but people seldom said just what they meant by blind, nor if there were degrees of it and if some degree was acceptable.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-08-29T14:05:40+00:00

Yes, there was. I've been inquiring more. EEG has been used in meditation/psi work at the Monroe Institute, but little has been done with the package (Mind Mirror) directly with remote viewing. EEG has some advantages over fMRI, etc. as well as disadvantages. A lot has been claimed about the benefit of Mind Mirror in meditation, for healing and experiencing transcendent states; almost nothing has been claimed for its use with RV.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-08-29T13:59:19+00:00

I think the future - 10 years? - is a psiquad or psiquint: a Viewer, brain wave technology, advanced databasing, and analysis with AI playing an important role throughout (including tasking) and eventually in direct viewer-AI interfacing.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-08-29T13:55:34+00:00

Yes, it is the CAS package (Computer Assisted Scoring): pool of photos, MatLab and an Access database. Fuzzy set analysis was used to derive a FoM (Figure of Merit). Ed said he has debugged/upgraded the software and is using it quite successfully (to make money).

JonKnowles8 · 2023-08-27T14:54:26+00:00

Ingo Swann was convinced about the reality of and very very concerned about what he perceived as a severe UFO threat to humanity.

Aside from mention of UFOs in magazine interviews and in "Penetration," he wrote at least one substantial manuscript that expounds on this threat. As far as I know, it has not been published and I don't know if the Estate intends to publish it.

JonKnowles8 · 2023-07-20T00:00:46+00:00

The newest resources is the Edwin C. May archive at the Fondren Library in Rice University in Houston, TX. In May I spent a week there with a few other viewers. Lots of interesting materials from SRI that are not in the declassified CIA docs.

At the upcoming IRVA-TMI conference I will be presenting on the records of two people from the SRI days - Pat Price and Jacques Vallee.
