How Remote Viewing Can Track Market Movements: Aziz Brown on Mechanics of Mind and Financial Forecasting

Remote viewing isn't magic—it's a trainable skill with mechanics you can understand and refine. That's the opening salvo from Aziz Brown, a remote viewer with the Farsight Institute who brought his characteristic blend of pragmatism and wonder to Odyssey 24, demonstrating how consciousness techniques can track everything from mountain landscapes to market movements.

"My approach at getting better at anything that deals with the awakening process is to try to demystify it as much as possible," Brown told the live-streamed audience. "If you're trying to screw some screws into the back of your microwave, there's no mystery about it. You know, this goes there and you screw it in. I really think that's important to do that to your awakening process."

What Makes Awareness Different from Thinking?

Brown's presentation moved quickly through dense territory—the mechanics of mind, the nature of awareness, and how understanding thought trajectories transforms remote viewing practice. His core metaphor: imagine looking through a diving mask into the ocean, watching fish swim in and out of view. "Switch the fish out with your thoughts," he explained. "That's pretty much how all of our existence is, except we have this issue where we identify ourselves with what we're looking at."

This isn't abstract philosophy for Brown—it's practical training. He practices what he calls awareness meditation without mantras, a shift from the Farsight standard after studying teacher Grandma Wolf on YouTube. The key anchoring statement: I am not my thoughts, I am not my emotions, I am awareness.

"When you widen the perspective of your focus," Brown continued, "you can chart the vector of thoughts. You can have a sense of knowingness when you see a perception that flies up in front of your face—I can tell that thought came from not just a different place in a remote viewing session, but from that person over there across the room."

He shared a striking cafe experience: meditating in public, he suddenly felt a rush of anxiety that clearly wasn't his. Looking up, he spotted a woman who'd just walked in, visibly self-conscious while searching for a seat. "I could tell with an experiential understanding—that thought experience came from that vector, that location, that was the course it charted to get in front of my awareness."

How Do You Remote View Something Abstract Like Stock Prices?

The second half of Brown's session ventured into territory that makes traditional remote viewing purists nervous: financial forecasting. But his methodology reveals something deeper—the creative flexibility possible when you understand how consciousness interfaces with data.

"You can't get an actual picture of the S&P 500 or a picture of a chart in the future," Brown acknowledged. His solution: probe collective adoption through deep mind techniques, measuring how many people invest in an asset at two different time points, then quantify the artifacts—the extra elements viewers add to base target sketches.

Here's how it works: Four viewers remote view the same geographic location (say, a glacial landscape with mountains and water). Those are base elements. If viewers accurately hit the target but also add subjects, structures, or non-surface objects not actually there, those additions become quantifiable data—scored, averaged, and plugged into equations that measure degree of change.

"Temperature probes" (hot/cold perceptions) indicate direction. More warmth equals increased adoption; cold signals decline. In the 2021 S&P 500 example Brown walked through, the team forecast significant upward movement. The result? The index rose 200 points over the two-month period.

Brown was careful with disclaimers—he's not a financial advisor, this is experimental, past performance doesn't guarantee future results. But he also shared his personal win: a $2,000 cryptocurrency investment based on Farsight sessions that grew to $14,000 exactly when his car broke down. "Remote viewing allows you to invest without fear," he said simply.

Why Does Creative Target Design Matter?

Brown's deeper point wasn't "get rich with psychic powers." It was about experimentation and imagination in a field barely a century old. "Remote viewing isn't even a hundred years old," he reminded the room. "All of you guys who are practicing remote viewing right now—you're gonna be the pros. This is getting in on the ground floor."

The financial methodology exemplifies what becomes possible when you stop seeing remote viewing as merely "perceiving distant locations" and start asking: What else can consciousness do? Can we probe emotional states? Track collective belief systems? Measure abstract change through perceptual artifacts?

"Your imagination is the limit," Brown said, his delivery rapid-fire throughout the 57-minute session. "Try to do deep emotional analysis of other people. Try to invade the mind of somebody who works at the cashier at Whole Foods when you're gonna go there next. You only learn through experimentation."

His warning about the Vegas trip where he lost $300 trying to remote view baccarat outcomes drew knowing laughs. The lesson: remote viewing enhances but doesn't replace practical knowledge. "If you don't know what you're doing in the stock market without remote viewing sessions, you're gonna probably lose money with the remote viewing sessions."

But for those willing to put in meditation time—"hour-plus sessions," he emphasized, agreeing with fellow presenter Yemi—the mystery dissolves. "When you get rid of that mystery and you start doing stuff like this and you check your data and find out you're getting stuff correct, man does it feel like a superpower."
