The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the U.S. Military

If Lyn Buchanan is telling even half the truth about the psychic skill of remote viewing and the US governments involvement in its development, then truth indeed is stranger than fiction, and possibly more hopeful and exciting that routine reality. As other reviewers have noted, Buchanan talks like a person who has been there and proved the ability, no matter how contrary to normal sense perception it seems, for himself.And as he repeats often, it is a skill that can be learned, but not easily. Perhaps then best of all, he provides a series of exercises through which patient students can experience and verify remote viewing for themselves. So far I have only toyed with a few of the techniques, but they do make sense, and evidently a person can gain from the processes even without the need or desire to become a remote viewer. Personal gain in awareness from just reading this and similar books is not insignificant, especially at this point in human evolution where what was once considered exotic or paranormal ability might well be essential for survival. As Lyn puts it in the book: "As one person becomes more self-aware, it raises—at least a little—the level of awareness within mankind. The implications of this basic fact are enormous."

I really liked The Seventh Sense by Lyn Buchanan. The book's preface "Caveat Emptor" was at least to me an original and pleasant surprise, which ignited my curiosity even more. I have not seen this before, but I think it was smart of Lyn to write this kind of preface. Here you can find out quickly what the book is all about as Lyn has something to say to each of the following types of people:For those looking for the Mystical.For the Person Seeking Self-Improvement.For the Scientifically Oriented reader.For the Person who want to learn Remote Viewing.For the Debunker.The book is roughly divided in two parts. The first and main part of the book contains the fascinating stories about how Lyn got involved in Remote Viewing and how he used it as a physical spy for the US Government. The book also contains a smaller "technical part" where the reader is introduced to the technical aspects of Remote Viewing. After reading all the good stories in the book, I believe most people will be curious and also like to know more about remote viewing. Lyn states that this book is not a teaching guide in itself, but still -the last part of the book does a good job introducing the concept of technical remote viewing. I think this a good starting introduction for those who are curious and want at least some technical details about Remote Viewing. If you want more there is also a bibliography reference at the end.Highly Recommended

I've seen Lyn Buchanan on Beyond Belief with George Noory (and maybe somewhere else, too) and he seemed like such a gentle spirited, sincere, and interesting person that I ordered the book. I am delighted to report that he writes just like he talks. This book is thoughtfully written by a real person. The way he talks about Remote Viewing as a teachable, learnable skill, like riding a bicycle, it reminds me of learning how to draw - people think you're either born with it, or you're not, but indeed, it is a teachable, learnable skill. Drawing, Controlled Remote Viewing, and Bicycle Riding, are all that way. "A little instruction, and a lot of practice (heavy on the practice)," as my favorite Algebra teacher used to say.I found The Seventh Sense to be fascinating, a page-turner, well-written, and inspiring. Thank you, Lyn for sharing your story with the world.

So all those rumors about the US and Russia employing psychics in the Military are true! One thus employed tells a fascinating story about how he and a select group used ESP to 'spy' during the Cold War. Some operatives were specially trained in developing their abilities. Some, like Buchanan, seemed to have been born with the gift. Today, 'distant vision' is used by psychics to help the police solve cold cases or locate missing persons, but this was spooky stuff decades ago when nobody was performing such tricks on TV. Good read; I recommend it.

This is a fun read and very provides more understanding of how to Remote View. I've successfully used David Morehouse's book "Remote Viewing" to follow his step-by-step instructions on to how to Remote View. Yes, it works (see my review of that book).Buchanan's "The Seventh Sense" isn't a step-by-step manual and won't teach you how to Remote View. But Buchanan explains the principles of Remote Viewing in depth and also lays out exercises in the Appendix that I've started doing to improve my Remote Viewing. "The Seventh Sense" is a good complement to David Morehouse's book or to other step-by-step lessons.If you're just curious about Remote Viewing, "The Seventh Sense" is the perfect book. It's a very enjoyable page-turner and really lays out anything on the subject of Remote Viewing that you might be curious about. For such a "woo-woo" subject, it just seems very matter-of-fact and common sense.In my review of David Morehouse's "Remote Viewing" book, I listed some other resources that I've found helpful for learning Remote Viewing.

I watched a podcast by this guy and was impressed with him. I'm glad the US has units like this. We need them. There are lots of opportunities to do great good for the US with remote viewing. I think he is talented. Some of his experiences were very surprising. I had read Ingo Swan's book" Penetration" and loved that. He tells you what you will get out of the book, whether you should even read the book ( you should some things will surprise you) and tells you what he does and does not do in his new business post service. He is an example of "Service with Integrity". Glad to know there are such people in the military.

Author sounds as if he has an axe to gring, and never really gets to the essential science behind what he was trying to do

This is an entertaining and informative book about Lyn Buchanan's experiences on joining the USA psychic spy programme. It is required reading, not only for anyone interested in Remote Viewing, but also for sceptics who consider RV to be too 'woo woo'. Lyn's systematic and scientific approach developing and promoting the Controlled Remote Viewing protocols devised by Ingo Swann places the discipline within reach of anyone, as a genuinely useful everyday resource.

If you have listened to Buchanan speak you may have heard some of the stories but this book is still definitely worth the read. So easy to fly through. Wish it were longer.

This is one of the best books I've ever read; fiction or non-fiction! Whether you've only heard of remote viewing or are looking to improve on the knowledge you currently have on the subject; this book is a must-have. Lyn Buchanan is the real deal when it comes to the subject. Replacing Joe McMoneagle by Joe himself; Lyn was the perfect choice. Read about his amazing life story and learn some invaluable information on how to prepare yourself to learn CRV if you so choose. I highly recommend this book.

Great book. Almost done and have really enjoyed the journey and the process of personal intuitive development. If you're into this understanding then you'll enjoy this book. Well done Lyn Buchanan! Thank you for your courage for sharing.

Good grief, really !!!????
