Remote Viewing Secrets:
A Handbook

Who Makes a Good Remote Viewer?One of the greatest problems faced by any of us who wants to use or study the art of remote viewing is finding the remote viewers. A considerable amount of information has appeared over the Internet, in advertisements, books, magazine articles, and other media that describes this process. Much of this describes how to identify who would make good remote viewers or what skills might be necessary in order to learn remote viewing. Advice ranges from "anyone can learn it" to "only those with a great deal of psychic talent are able to learn." While there is actually a bit of truth in just about everything you read, the context in which the statement is made actually determines its accuracy.
Back when the United States Army decided to find, train and use remote viewers for Project STARGATE, no one knew what this meant. There were no books or articles that clearly outlined a method for finding someone who might be a psychic, nor did any known method for training someone in remote viewing exist. The people attempting to organize and establish the project decided to let common sense drive them where they had to go. The first place they looked, of course, was SRI-International, where remote viewing had already been studied for nearly five years, and comments relative to training and gifted versus non-gifted subjects could be found.*
* Joseph McMoneagle learned remote viewing in the U.s. Army--he was Remote Viewer #001 in the Army's Stargate program--and was awarded the Legion of Merit for his contribution to various intelligence operations. In "Remote Viewing Secrets," the author of "Mind Trek" and "The Ultimate Time Maching" uses examples, exercises, and anecdotes to share what he learned and how he learned it, and gives you everything you need to begin developing your own abilities.
