At certain places in chapters ahead I'll drag you through some of what is involved, since doing so will be appropriate when we come to various aspects of controlled remote viewing. But while I was doing my initial research along these lines, a glimmer of an idea began dawning. I got to wondering why a distinction was made between physical perceptions and "psychic" perceptions. Indeed, if one looks up PERCEIVE in most standard dictionaries, one will find it defined as: 1. to attain awareness or understanding of; 2. to become aware of through the senses -- especially to OBSERVE. In other words, a PERCEPTION is the RESULT of the processes which render the attainment of awareness and understanding. Meaning that if one does not attain awareness and understanding of something, then no perception will occur. One does not perceive FIRST; one becomes aware first. If one is not aware of something, then it will not be perceived. This is the opposite of how we normally think of this. We believe we perceive first, and then become aware. The attainment of awareness and understanding is equally applicable to the physical and the psychic senses. And, as well, the psychic senses necessarily must be processed through the sensory systems of the biomind -- which is to say, through body AND mind.
