This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1990. It will remain public for only one week.

Scientist Russell Targ explains that remote viewing, or free-response clairvoyance, is probably the single most successful research approach in parapsychology. Targ suggests that the mind itself reaches to the far ends of the universe and it is this “non-local” quality, rather than any particular mechanism, that accounts for the remarkable data of parapsychology. Russell Targ is co-founder of the government sponsored remote viewing research program at SRI International. He is co-author of The Mind Race, Mind At Large, Mind Reach and Miracles of Mind.
