Remote Viewing Secrets: A Handbook

by Joseph McMoneagle

Remote viewing is not simply using psychic ability to obtain information. It is using scientific protocol to develop and extend that ability so that ordinary people can learn to do what "psychics" do. This book teaches you how to teach yourself.
McMoneagle believes that anybody can be trained in remote viewing (no psychic gifts required). However, it requires a huge commitment and a highly disciplined mind. Using the analogy of martial arts, McMoneagle sees RV training in levels, starting with white belt where viewers can expect to see a gestalt (an overall impression) of a target. By the time readers reach the red-black belt great master, McMoneagle claims they will have gained "a near-perfect union of one's paranormal talent blended within extant reality. People who reach this level no longer have to think about it, they simply do." Although readers won't become great masters by reading this one book, McMoneagle does provide a comprehensive training program as well as important chapters on the ethics, protocol, and applications of remote viewing.
McMoneagle is the authority in this area. He 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.

No one knows more about Remote Viewing than Joe McMoneagle. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning this technique of intuitive knowing.

Learned a lot from him

If you’ve ever aspired to be the neighborhood freak, this book is for you. It’s full of stuff that makes me want to live in a van down by the river, a river which is downstream from a US military base, or better yet, somewhere I can see the Soviets from my backyard. Which, I can actually see right now thanks to this book! So I guess I can park my van somewhere else now.
First of all, STARGATE is a late-1990’s series on Showtime that my dad watches before my mom gets home. STARGATE is NOT a military program in the US that ran through the 1970’s-1995 that investigated psychic phenomena, specially “remote viewing” for spying purposes. It did NOT stem from fear of Cold War Soviet psych research. And, while we’re all lying, this is NOT the weirdest book I’ve EVER read. WINK. I guess the retired military space men were missing their third-grade taekwondo competitions, because the weird man remotely viewing my bedroom right now told me that he is a Great Master Black Belt. Whatever. I’m not going to “remotely view” your pants to find out. I’m throwing your aluminum head ware in the garbage. Stop bringing that stuff in the house. I’m tired of it. And stop bringing people who you call your friends over, because they keep trying to “remotely view” me when I’m asleep. Anyway, the book is full of physics I don’t understand because I dropped it to be in Computer Science. Joseph, in the tin hat that I’m currently viewing remotely, explains practical guidelines with examples and exercises to practice. I don’t know about you, but I’m not trying to remotely view anyone while they exercise. Well, that’s my own “viewing” exercise. I don’t care how many belts you have, this is all fake. I can’t believe Mr. McDingle got money to research lies. Oh, uh, yeah, I can see the Russians, they’re like, right there!! No, yeah, I can DEFINITELY see them…when do I get paid for this again? Tomorrow? Ok, and like, how much? I’m going to remotely view the brain of whoever thought this was a good idea to monetarily fund.

Probably the most intelligent book on remote viewing that I've read.

However, it is a bit short on secrets. They appear to be:

* People have varying levels of ability.
* If you want to do it right and not fool yourself, you need to follow some kind of protocol.
* With an unknown target, the results might not be as good as with a concrete target, where information can be discovered.

Most importantly:

* If you follow the protocol, and some information that you view checks out, there is a good chance that the rest of it will, too. In short, under these circumstances, it's more likely that you "were there" than you picked up the information from what people knew already, and did some deduction.

A good book. Plenty of information on RV, how it's done, with very detailed directions for protocol as well as process. He really seems to have been there, done that. I'm not inclined to be a skeptic on this I guess partly because I've read several of Ingo Swann's books and also because I've had some experience with precognition and inklings of other forms of Psi.

McMoneagle outlines the remote viewing protocols, experimentation and training process. He approaches this as a skill that can be fostered and developed in most people and can be demonstrated in a limited labratory settings and used for a variety of purposes. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this is true, but it was interesting.

[Dan Zarfati · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a very good introduction to the technique and the importance of the protocol and method to carry on with the Remote viewing practice, though this one is a rather boring exercise, one also can take good lessons from it.

[David Sz]

huh

I"m looking for where do you learn in this book?? I want to learn.Where is it? I haven't found teachings for beginners.

[The_J · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm not sure it really counts as secrets

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting information presented in thoughtful and clear terminology without any woo woo.

[william herrmann · Rating 2 out of 5]

When a book presents itself as a handbook, I envision it as a ‘shop manual’ loaded with exercises and how to’s etc.

That is not this book

[Jake Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book, go listen to his interview with Sean Ryan! be ready to jump down the remote viewing rabbit hole!

[Jimmy Allen · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you have an interest in remote viewing, this would be an excellent book to start with. It examines remote viewing from a scientific standpoint and provides parameters for realistic expectations.

[Mike S · Rating 5 out of 5]

McMoneagle is an expert who has had extensive training, and has practiced and researched RV very seriously for decades. He may be the worlds foremost authority on RV, he's certainly in the top 10. This is the most thorough introduction to RV that I've been able to find. The author is very careful to say exactly what he does and doesn't mean when it's important, this author is comprehensive, humble, direct, the book is very easy to read. I immediately got the sense that I was in good hands reading this book. Also, the information about 12.5-14.5 hrs LST (being the best time to RV) alone is worth the price of the book. Anybody who wants an introduction or overview of the RV field will appreciate this book very much.

I haven't been able to get very far into this one, and while in my opinion, this sort of technical approach to psychic ability is as likely to be successful as any other, it is definitely in opposition to my own intuitive methodology. Someone else might feel reassured by all the protocol but to me it feels unnecessary, giving this book the effect of a detailed intellectual manual about something emotionally-based and impervious to knowability in this sense. But hey, whatever works.

[Roger Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author seems most sincere, honest and up front in the material presented. Unfortunately it wasn't the type of book I expected. I was under the impression there would have been examples of information presented. I still rated this book as fair for it did give some insight to a dead government program and his remote viewing journey. I suspect there are better reads on the subject.

[Kirby Coe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb book

McMoneagle does a great job writing about the remote viewing journey. This is my favorite book by Joe--have read a few, including this one before, but decided to buy the kindle version and read some more, use as a reference also.

[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's ok. Not as pleased with his ego.

[Judy · Rating 3 out of 5]

What can I say? It amuses and intrigues me that the military spent decades and dollars working on honing the skill of remote viewing. Makes me think of The Men Who Stare at Goats. :)

[Gael Orr · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Joe McMoneagle; he is a fascinating person with an equally fascinating life, and his books are engaging, easy to read, and life-changing, whether you believe in remote viewing or not.

[SandraJane · Rating 4 out of 5]

No new information, but if remote viewing is new to you, then it's a good book.
