Aesthetic Impact (AI)
Aesthetic impact indicates a sudden and dramatic widening of the aperture, and signals the transition from Stage II into Stage III.
Analytical Overlay (AOL)
In remote viewing, AOL is used as an abbreviation for the term “Analytical Overlay,” referring to analytically processed data, e.g., mental noise, speculations, assumptions, etc.
AOL Break / AOL-D Break
An AOL break is called any time the viewer realizes he has received an AOL. This break acknowledges that it was an AOL and objectifies it to clear it from the system.
AOL/S (AOL Signal)
AOL/Signal occurs when an AOL produced by the viewer’s analytic mental machinery almost exactly matches the site, and the viewer can to some extent “look” through the AOL image to perceive the actual site.
Aperture
A term of art in certain remote viewing methodologies, signifying the point or portal through which information transitions from the subconscious into conscious awareness.
ARV
ARV is not a way of doing remote viewing (not a method). Instead, it is a way of using remote viewing (an application of remote viewing) to obtain a certain kind of information about the future. Any workable method of remote viewing can be used for an ARV project.
Bilocation Break
To properly RV a site the viewer must be bi-located, that is, he must have his perceptions at the site while still occupying physical space in the viewing room. When the viewer realizes he is not maintaining this bi-location he must call a BILO Break.
Breaks
The mechanism developed to allow the system to be put on “hold,” providing the opportunity to flush out AOLs, deal with temporary inclemencies, or make system adjustments, allowing a fresh start with new momentum. There are seven types of breaks.
Classes of CRV Sessions
There are three classes of CRV sessions. These classes deal with the feedback given or not given to the viewer during the session.
Confusion Break
When the viewer becomes confused by events in his environment or information in the signal line to the degree that impressions he is receiving are hopelessly entangled, a Confusion Break is called.
