Remote Viewing Proxima b;

Sentient life that looks something like lily pads, only really, really big lily pads. Purple rain and purple slush. A long canyon where the sun never quite rises and never quite sets. Exploration from earth that is so similar to science fiction that we wonder if what a couple of our viewers were seeing wasn't actually science fiction. These are the remote viewing impressions we have of the newly announced exoplanet, Proxima b.

Introduction by Suzi Heigel

When the European Southern Observatory confirmed the discovery of a rocky exoplanet in orbit in the habitable zone around Earth’s nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, I could not resist the opportunity of enlisting 18 remote viewers to take a psychic look. For months I had been examining questions of American politics, and our remote viewers were expecting one more round of assignments concerning presidential candidates. The planet Proxima b offered an opportunity to look at a target for which no one in our group was expecting, and everyone in our group could explain in meaningful language—or at least so I hoped. And since no one but me in our group reads English-language science fiction, there was very little chance of having a reading “contaminated” by memories of Stephen Baxter’s novel about the nearby star.
Fortunately, the 13 sessions we actually completed mostly made a kind of collective sense about what might be in orbit around the star nearest Earth. They don’t completely agree, and there were also some sessions that totally missed the target (and are described at the end of the book). Taken together, however, these sessions paint a picture that could be confirmed or rejected in our lifetimes. We invite you to join us on a journey to an unearthly world of fascinating weather and strange moving forms, and encourage you to travel with us in imagination to the heavens.
