NEWS: Analysis & Commentary MINDAZZLE? by Dick Allgire Mindazzle turns remote viewing into a parlor game. I say that as a compliment; I like Mindazzle. Mindazzle is the remote viewing kit created by Ed Dames and F.M. Bonsall. Ben Lizardi/Lizardi Communications, Inc. is the owner/distributor. Each kit contains 180 targets (small photos in black envelopes) a pen, a 3-minute hourglass timer, and several stacks of data worksheet templates. You select an envelope, set the timer, and then you have 3 minutes to fill out the worksheet template. You make an ideogram (called a 3-second scribble) and then fill in the textures, colors, smells, tastes, temperatures, sounds, dimensions, and feelings. This is very similar to what many structured forms of remote viewing do in Stage Two. There is an instruction booklet that gives examples of each category of sensory data. At the bottom of the worksheet there is a small box where you can sketch sort of a beginners version of an S-3. I opened the box (it arrived at my workplace) and worked 10 targets before I forced myself to stop and get back to work. I had a hard time putting it away. There is the fun of opening the envelope and getting immediate feedback, and you can't shake the urge to try "just one more." Okay, RV purists will shake their heads and mutter this trivializes the science of remote viewing. But Mindazzle demystifies RV and makes it accessible to the masses. Does it turn you into a professional remote viewer? Not a chance. Does it allow anyone to obtain intelligence grade data? No, of course not. It will never replace formal, dedicated RV training. The makers would never claim that. Is it remote viewing? Yes, it is. It allows anyone to sit down and demonstrate non-local awareness, to open the door to communication with their subconscious. As a trained remote viewer I had a few small criticisms of Mindazzle. You make an "ideogram" aka 3-second scribble, but you aren't told why, and you don't do anything with it. In my RV training each bit of data is obtained by a precise physical/mental cue which prompts the sub to provide data. I had a difficult time just grabbing for data in an unstructured manner. So I adapted the game to conform to my own methodology. (I probed the ideogram for sensory data.) But there I go being an RV snob, and this is designed for people with no formal RV training. The kit sells for $89.95 and is available at www.mindazzletraining.com Mindazzle would make a great gift for anyone who likes mental challenges. I can envision Mindazzle parties, where people or even groups pair up and work the targets as a competition. In fact the Hawaii Remote Viewers' Guild is planning a Mindazzle party soon, and we'll have more in an upcoming issue.     PRINT THIS ARTICLE Privacy Statement Copyright © 2001, H.R.V.G.
