Well, one of the thick, turgid, and major layers that WAS and still IS part-and-parcel of the real story of remote viewing is composed of the MANY conflicts between frames of reference that collected around the project, and which have also burdened every interest in remote viewing since. If, then, the larger REAL story of remote viewing is to be put on record by THIS writer, the REAL story of those conflicting frames of reference must also take its appropriate place within the larger one. * To now move expeditiously onward, you will of course have noted the title of this chapter -TRANSFERRING OUT OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY -- which, at first take, might not make much apparent sense. But even if the meaning of this chapter title seems obscure at first, its most obvious implication is that the SRI project, from its initial 1972 outset, was conceptualized by Dr. Puthoff so as to enable constructive work toward discovering and establishing what were referred to as "novel approaches." "Novel approaches" clearly implies a significant change or shift with regard to frames of reference. It is especially important to point up three factors in this regard: 1. One of the disadvantages of frames of reference is that they can mentally become locked in or locked down with the result that many find it exceedingly difficult to change them. 2. Thus, throughout the project, it was always difficult to convey the aspect of novel approaches to many.
