The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing: The Secret Military Remote Perception Skill Anyone Can Learn

Remote Viewing, a learned ability, so that you can use psychic powers to understand, feel, perceive things, that your normal 5 senses can’t.The only way to really know if it exists and works, is by learning how to do it, and like walking, breathing, and thinking; everyone can do it, alone.Whether you want to learn how to do it, are just curious about it, or you are one of the thousands of people that have already learned how, this book has valuable information for you.Even if you are a skeptic, or unaware that science is now at this level, this is a valuable book for you. True Remote Viewing is an extremely important self development skill for all humans. Obviously, there are billions of people that are not even barely familiar with it. At one time the earth was flat according to science and popular thought, right ?I took classes in Remote Viewing in 2011, with Paul Elder who works with the Monroe Institute, and then started practicing daily, while simultaneously amassing all the best info I could get about it. I’ve given 4 introductory free workshops, for people here in Mexico.The other positive reviews I’ve read so far, here, are correct, and the promotional info, here on amazon, and the write ups on the inner sleeve of the front cover and on the back cover are true. Unfortunately, only the thousands of people that now can Remote View and have read the book, can know that. We are the lucky ones, and obviously, the numbers will grow and nobody can stop that. The cat is out of the bag, even though it was a top military secret for over 20 years.This book is easy to read, and excellently and clearly organized so that you don’t have to waste any time, and you can get everything, or whatever it is you are looking for. For those of us, who are not beginners, or those who are just curious or investigating, it is an enjoyable read, and an important and fun learning experience for all. It’s very full, thorough, and has some really cool surprises. It has also left me, as an experienced Remote Viewer with some excellent homework to do, and given me a wealth of material to continue improving with and looking for.This is an excellent guidance tool, for anyone thinking of taking courses, or maybe looking for more or better information on the subject. If you are going to take a course, buy this book first, so that you take the best course for you, and avoid any nonsense.The actual monetary value of the book is also way more than the purchase price, it’s a great buy.And now . . . my personal recommendation:If you decide to go further with Remote Viewing after reading this book, find and read Ingo Swann’s “Remote Viewing the Real Story” and his book, “Everybody's Guide to Natural Esp: Unlocking the Extrasensory Power of Your Mind”.Then, once you are doing regular practice RV sessions, get Joseph McMoneagle’s “Remote Viewing Secrets: The Handbook for Developing and Extending Your Psychic Abilities” and Lyn Buchanan’s “The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a Psychic Spy for the U.S. Military”.Dr Paul H Smith’s “The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing:” references and suggests many other important books, scientific papers, and other sources, by people like Russel Targ, Dr Hal Puthoff, and the list goes on, that obviously are also a part of the books I just suggested.Dr Paul H Smith’s is a safe bet for the first Remote Viewing book. It also has excellent photos and illustrations.If a person knows how to read, they should read this book. Humanity really needs this one.

First off, this is not 'essential' in the sense that you would expect a book called 'The Essential Guide to Carpentry' to be. It has very little in the way of actual practice and will not teach a reader to remote view. If you wanted to pick up a book and learn the skill, this is not it. And although the author repeatedly states that the skill cannot be learned from a book, he fails to make the case precisely why, although he does hint at it obliquely here and there. The fact that he teaches the skill in seminars for money would make this awfully suspicious; however, I genuinely think this is a case of oversight and and inadequate editing. From what I pieced together, the author might make this argument: You can't learn to sing from a book either. You might think you can, but you, the amateur, aren't good enough to realize how bad you are and what you're doing wrong. You need guidance. His editor needed to require a few more pages to clarify and explain this glaring absence. However, given that he doesn't advertise his programs in the book in the slightest, and honestly hardly even mentions them, I believe he was acting in good faith.So enough with what the book wasn't. On to what the book was: A very thorough, engaging, and accessible introduction to everything Remote Viewing from someone who was there. He gives the history from the beginning to the present, and discusses the people and events that are worth knowing about. Although he takes the deliberate care of the scholar (he has a PhD) to organize his arguments and cite his sources, his writing style is light and informal; it's just academic enough to be clear, but personable and accessible. It feels like a quick read, despite an abundance of interesting information.More than simply being an introduction to remote viewing's history and people, the book makes an argument for the reality of the practice, and I think it does so quite convincingly. From page after page of side-by-side comparisons between the psychics' sketches and the intended targets, to numerous case studies (all cited in a bibliography) at the end of the book with impressive p values, he lays out a coherent, valid, and convincingly sound argument for accepting that remote viewing works, and that he has done it, and that it is a skill that one can learn. And interspersing all the arguments, reasoning, studies, and whatnot, are numerous anecdotes, stories, history, and applications that keep the reader moving through the book. This does not read like a dissertation. It's quite enjoyable. I do not give my 5 stars cheaply.Although I was initially disappointed by the lack of exercises and such in the book (after reading it I find I'm raring to go, and would like to start learning to remote view), upon further reflection I think this book has another and perhaps more valuable purpose. Certainly, it deepened my understanding of the subject in ways I wasn't anticipating, but this is the perfect book to hand someone who has never heard of remote viewing, or who doesn't believe in any sort of non-materialistic phenomenon at all, and so on. It's entertaining, engaging, and convincing. If nothing else, I enjoyed every minute of the reading. What more can you ask?

The stars of the publishing industry this season detail the fiendish plots to eradicate democratic institutions. However, The Essential Guide To Remote Viewing, first published in 2015, and now in its fourth printing, should have been recognized and should now take its place as a remarkably valuable work. It documents an awesome human ability, and one, which given the stupefying and overwhelming nature of smart phone and artificial intelligence culture, may be as imperiled as democracy itself. The human aptitude for retrieving covert information using mental ability alone a.k.a. remote viewing is the subject of this rare historiographical accomplishment.Remote viewing protocols developed by the military comprise a large part of this book since the author belonged to one of the original groups of soldier spies. In spite of its empiric approach, with its many charts and reproductions of actual RV experiments, it is very much an insider’s story, a matter-of-fact account of something extraordinary that came into the author’s life and changed it irrevocably. The author makes a tacit appeal throughout the book, an appeal that grows out of the recognition and testing of remote viewing as an integral piece of serving and protecting the common good. It cannot be, Paul Smith seems to assert, that for one brief shining moment alone human beings cultivated the spark of divinity within them, to work towards a higher good.

This is something that takes many years of practice I believe. With the modern distractions of constant info bombardment you probably need to have a very quiet place . Someone correct me if I'm wrong.Richard Trice

Excellent review of this process.

I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase this excellent book before its status became “out of stock” and cannot recommend it highly enough. Others have reviewed the content, both in the UK and in the USA, so I shan’t add to that. For those wishing to buy a copy, it’s still available direct from the author’s website at guidetoremoteviewing

Good read would highly recommend

The subject in itself is very interesting but this book is written in a way that anybody can understand.Enjoyed this read very much
