Dermovision is the alleged ability to see with one's skin, in the same way as with the eyes. Children are said to be able to learn more quickly than adults, however people of any age can supposedly learn to see with their skin, including people who have lost their eyesight.

EYES IN YOUR HANDS - HOW AND WHY? A DISCUSSION ABOUT PSYCHOMETRY by Beverly C. Jaegers

What is behind our ability to 'see' with our hands?

Is it 'synesthesia', or dermo-optic cells in our skin?

How do the images transfer to the brain or vision center? Or do they?

1. we do not see only with our eyes
2. everything we see is upside down
3. eyes are only camera lenses that process images from reflected light
4. our brains are the second-stage process
5. the brain has the ability to produce light independently of the eyes (see astronaut training)
6. special dermo-optic cells in the body are thinly scattered in most of the skin, but are concentrated in certain areas - hands, neck, back, face
7. information is 'picked up' by these cells and then transferred to the brain
8. this process gives a perfect picture of the object you are holding
9. other information about the object must be elicited by asking the COMMAND QUESTIONS.
10. answers to the questions are provided by the superconscious portion of the brain/mind combination
11. mind must interpret what brain then 'sees'

ENERGIES

All objects of solid mass are contained within an energy field (which holds them in solid form). Having no better term, we must call the information-potential of the solid object an energy field. Whether it is the same energy field or not, we do not yet know. It is entirely possible that every solid object possesses something like the DNA which controls its existence and characteristics. It also holds the meaning and natural history of that solid object.

It seems evident that all objects having solid form also have some means of recording what occurs around it or in its vicinity inside that energy field. These occurrences which occur in the immediate environment are somehow recorded by the object and become a permanent part of its energy field.

There is no other explanation for the fact that a stone retains the impression of its natural habitat, even to seismic events in its vicinity, not to mention events of all types, cataclysmic or otherwise, which occur to human beings in that exact vicinity as well. They become part of its energy field and can be retrieved.

We theorize that this information is somehow recorded by the magnetic field of the object, just as is the voice on a tape recording...or a video recording. This explanation is the most feasible. There is a definite modification of the existing field when something happens in the surrounding area, whether or not humans are present.

This is the remaining puzzle in psychometry itself. How does the object retain these images and occurrences? How does the human brain, like a tape player, have the ability to replay the background, events and history of an object, or the place from which it originally came?

How can a stone picked up from the site where a body was found provide a description of the victim, explain how the murder was done (or the accident) and give physical characteristics and psychological characteristics of the murderer/s? How can the same stone provide information from not only that place and that time, but even provide an index of some sort which allows the mind to go to an other place where the sequence itself actually began before the time of death?

We know that it can through many experiments. Some years ago, when in Atlanta GA on the child-killing mass-murder case that happened there, a perfect example was given. I was unable to physically climb down the mountain to a site where one of the children had been discarded. I was able to get someone else to climb down (one of the dog handlers) to get me a stone.

From this stone I was able to describe not only the victim, but a City intersection, even to the type of stores and gas stations on the corners; which was recognized by one of the Police Team as the exact location from which this child had been kidnapped. He'd been shopping for his mother when he disappeared - at the location I had described. I also had a small sock which had been on the body to work, and it pro-vided the same information. It also provided a description of a van which had been the vehicle which took Jeter away from that intersection. But the stone had been taken from a mountainside (Redwine, I believe) and had lain underneath the child's body. It had never been to the intersection. However, it did contain that information.

This has happened in the same way, or related ways hundreds of times over the years, in other cases from crime to archaeology, to seismology and paleontology, and even in a small experiment in earthquake prediction done for a scientist.
The solid object contains all of this information, and probably much more, if we had the key to unlocking all the object could provide in the way of information.

Psychometry means 'mind-measure'. It is the process of retrieving this information. Today we feel that words such as 'psychic touch' 'psi-touch' or 'IRV-inductor remote viewing' better describe what occurs in the process itself. This Psi-touch occurs when an object is held in the human hand, generally the left hand. Theoretically, the left hand connects with the right side of the human brain, which is the imaging center of the brain. This is only a partial explanation of what happens, and the method of transmission from hand to brain is not yet known.

Advanced students no longer need to touch the object, but merely to look at it. Extremely advanced work can be done by concentration on the object and the questions you wish to ask about its history alone. Recent experimentation with this level has added to the knowledge about the skills involved by using a radio talk-show as a research lab. Listeners on radio or computer links are instructed to visualize a target object which has been placed on a table in my office. They are asked to visualize the object, then to either call in or email the description of the object. After a half hour the description is provided so that they may score their progress. Only I know what the object is and even the talk-show Host does not have any information about what it may be.

Originally, I had to classify the abilities involved with this activity as clairvoyant in nature, as no other word was available. Clairvoyance means 'clear-seeing' - yet it does not fit the activity very well. It did make more sense in cases where there was no physical contact with the object, nor would it be within view. In such cases, with training, the mind can provide the information just as it would if the object were in hand.

The beginnings, of course, are with the actual physical contact with the item. The object may range from a color printed on a card, a playing card, a symbol card, to a more complex target such as a rock or piece of clothing.

Science has provided a few answers ranging from the 'energy-sensors' contained in the bill of the duck-billed platypus, to the 'shadow sensing' ability in the neck of the rabbit, and to what are called 'dermo-optic' or light-sensitive cells in the bodies of animals and humans. The mechanism and workings of these cells is still not completely understood, but their existence has been documented. The other answers are thus within reach.

Experimentation by our own group has provided the fact that the non-dominant hand is the best to do information-retrieval. For most persons who are right-handed, the left hand is best and more sensitive than the right. Either hand could be used, but the left is much more receptive to these energies. We knew this through constant repetition and observation over months and years of experimentation with objects held in one or both hands.

Approximately 15% of the human race is normally left-handed, and their right hands may well be the more sensitive. Mixed dominance occurs when a person naturally left-handed is changed by caregivers or teachers to a right-handed individual. It is best to use both hands equally for a time until it is determined which is more sensitive.

What happens when the object is touched, or held in the hand? This is the ongoing question we hope science can ferret out and provide.

We know that actual visual images of the shape, size and texture of the object can be provided through the photo-sensitive cells in the skin - similar to what occurs when the lens of a camera opens and reflected light is imprinted on the film.
We do not know how more sophisticated and detailed information about the object's history, environment or ownership is provided.

Photographs of an item or a human can be used to yield similar answers, yet we have found that a POLAROID photo works many times better than a reproduced photograph from a film negative.

The reason seems to be that the person or object was actually present when the Polaroid photo was taken. The light reflected onto the film derived from the actual physical presence of the object or the human (or a scene) In other words, the target object was there, and some part of its energies or essence was captured on the film.

A photo from a negative does yield information, but it is more difficult to get it, as the photograph was never in the physical presence of the target object.

A photograph in a book or newspaper is even more difficult, being much more distant from the target object. Videos or TV yield answers, but again, these fall into the much more difficult category. They are electronic images, even when they are being filmed 'live'.

When learning this skill, it is best to hold the target objects in the hand physically making contact with it until you are experienced at doing this.

Using the COMMAND QUESTIONS will assist you in determining what type and what variety of information you wish to gain from the object. Holding it in the left hand, which is more receptive, connects directly with the side of the brain which is dominant in sensitivity - and creates some amount of input in the consciousness... whether images or details of surroundings.
This requirement of using the receptive left hand is my own discovery, as no other researcher seems ever to have discovered the fact that a bias of any kind has any relevance to this type of work. Almost none of the so-called authorities in psychic research have ever, to my knowledge, discovered this evident difference in the hands.
