Advanced procedures in SRV are performed in Phase 5. Below are thumbnail sketches of some of these procedures. The following Phase 5 procedures are normally included in the Farsight Voyager course.

Phase 5 requires a worksheet and a matrix, each on separate pieces of paper. The worksheet is labeled P5w, whereas the matrix is labeled P5m. All Phase 5 pages are assigned the same page number followed by the letters a, b, c, etc. for subsequent pages (e.g., 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 23e, etc.).

Note: The Phase 5 matrix is identical to the Phase 4 matrix. Also, Phase 5 (P5) matrix entries are made identically to P4 entries.

1. [Timelines] Have the viewer draw a horizontal line in the center of the worksheet (or elsewhere if there is room). The viewer should then locate the target time, the current time, and the time of some significant event that is well-known. The viewer should not be told the actual identification of the significant event, other than that it is event "A". The viewer can also be instructed to probe the time line for other significant events. Each event must be labeled, and unknown events can be labeled generically, e.g., event A, B, C, and so on. For reasons that are explained in the Farsight Voyager course, the viewer should not probe for a specific year, only an event.

2. [Sketches] Analytical sketches (more detailed than Phase 3 drawings) can be drawn and probed in the worksheet. Data obtained from the probes should be entered in the Phase 5 matrix. Lines can be drawn in the sketches to symbolically connect various places or objects. The viewer can switch from one place or object to another by alternatively probing the separate parts of the drawing. Alternatively, the viewer can be instructed to move from one part of the drawing to another by following the line with his or her pen that connects the various parts. (See "sliding" below.)

3. [Cuing] In Phase 5, the monitor can suggests cues for the viewer to enter into the matrix that may be too leading for Phase 4. These cues can be from the viewer's own Phase 4 data, or they can be the monitor's own words. Again, cues originating verbatim from the viewer's own data are entered into the Phase 5 matrix in parentheses ( ), while cues originating from the monitor must be entered into the matrix using brackets [ ]. Moreover, all monitor originating cues should have some obvious connection to the data obtained earlier so as to minimize the risk of deduction peacocking (something explained in the Farsight Voyager course).

4. [Locational sketches] The monitor instructs the viewer to draw a map, say, of the United States, in which no edge of the map comes within one inch of any edge of the Phase 5 worksheet paper. The monitor then says the name of a well-known location (usually a city). The viewer then automatically places his or her pen on that spot and quickly draws a line to the target location. No further monitor instructions are required other than to say the name of the original location. The line must be straight and rapidly executed. A slowly drawn or curved line indicates that the conscious mind interfered with the flow of the data.

5. [Symbolic sketches] These sketches include some part or aspect of the target around which further information is needed. For example, a circle can represent a person being viewed, and a square can represent a governmental organization. The viewer is not told exactly what the symbols represent. But the viewer is told a generic version of their nature (e.g., target subject, target group, etc.). These generic identifiers are written near the symbols. A line is then drawn connecting the symbols. The line is labeled "relationship." Probes of the symbols (using the viewer's pen) and the relationship yield information that is then entered into the Phase 5 worksheet. If the symbols represent physical items, then the labels are placed in the physicals column of the matrix. The word "relationship" is entered in the concepts column in square brackets. All data are entered in the matrix.

Movement exercise for Phase 5: [Sliding] The monitor can instruct the viewer to move from one location to another in a controlled fashion by having the viewer make a small circle on the Phase 5 worksheet. This circle should be labeled "A: location #1." Alternatively, the viewer may write something more meaningful, but still non-leading, such as "A: on top of the structure." Another small circle is then drawn on the worksheet in a position relative to the first circle such that this position is sensible.

For example, if the viewer is on top of a building, and the monitor wants the viewer to descend into the building, then the second circle would be below the first. The second circle is then labeled accordingly (e.g., "B: inside the structure"). The viewer is instructed to connect the first circle to the second circle with a line, and then to retrace this line slowly as needed in order to go back and forth between the two points. The viewer can also simply touch points A and B with his or her pen to shift quickly from one location to another. Alternatively, a cue placed in brackets (e.g., the words "building/inside") in the physicals column can achieve a similar result. However, sliding is useful if the monitor thinks that the viewer might profitably control the rate of movement, perhaps because the monitor suspects that observations made along the path of movement may be valuable.

Since there are no known distance limitations to this procedure, sliding is useful if the two locations are very far apart, such as two star systems. Often sliding can be used in combination with another technique. For example, the initial movement between two points can be accomplished with sliding, while subsequent movements can be quickly accomplished by having the viewer simply touch either of the connected circles. To enter data into the Phase 5 matrix, "A" and "B" are be placed in the physicals column of the matrix inside square brackets, e.g., [A]. The data following "A" in the physicals column are related to point A in the Phase 5 worksheet. Data following "B" in the physicals column are related to point B in the Phase 5 worksheet.
