In Part 1 of the Stage 4 Remote Viewing series, Brett Stewart explains the setup and theory behind this critical phase. If Stages 1 through 3 are about making initial contact, Stage 4 is where the “aperture” opens wide, allowing high-level, complex information to flow through [00:40].
This video focuses on the Eight Columns of Stage 4. Each column acts as a specific “prompt” to your unconscious mind, helping you categorize data without the interference of your analytical brain.
Setting Up Your Stage 4 Matrix
Stage 4 is unique because it finally allows for high-level nouns and complex descriptions that were discouraged in earlier stages [01:02]. To manage this influx of data, you create a systematic template across the top of your page.
The goal here is differentiation. By separating your own feelings from site emotions, and physical objects from abstract ideas, you maintain the purity of the “signal line.” Brett emphasizes that remote viewing is a skill of describing, not naming. Even in Stage 4, you aren’t trying to guess the target; you are trying to describe its physical and conceptual nature in high detail [08:32].
Learning Steps: Understanding the Eight Columns
To prepare your Stage 4 session, you must understand the specific data expected in each of these columns:
- S (Sensory): The foundation. This is for all basic perceptions: colors, textures, tastes, smells, temperatures, and sounds [03:32].
- D (Dimension): This column holds three specific types of data: physical dimensions (large, tall), densities (heavy, light), and motions (spinning, rising) [05:01].
- AI (Aesthetic Impact): These are your emotions. If the site makes you feel happy, bored, or scared, write it here to “vent” the emotion so it doesn’t bias the rest of your data [06:20].
- EI (Emotional Impact): These are the emotions present at the site. For example, if you perceive a crowd feeling “excited” or an individual feeling “sad,” that data belongs here [06:50].
- T (Tangibles): Physical objects you could theoretically touch, like a “structure,” “man-made object,” or “tool” [07:57].
- I (Intangibles): Abstract concepts or ideas that have no physical reality, such as “purpose,” “religious,” “financial,” or “educational” [09:25].
- AOL (Analytic Overlay): Your mind’s “guessing” system. If you see a flash of a “bumblebee” or a “red car,” record it here as a way to acknowledge the thought and discard it [10:19].
- AOL/S (AOL Signal): A more advanced column used for metaphors and analogies. Use this only as a last resort when you can’t find a direct word for what you are perceiving (e.g., “it’s like a blender”) [12:22].
