Summary: WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESN¿T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Review: This book pulled me in as I read of David Morehouse's experiences as a Remote Viewer and his subsequent disallusionment with the program and finally his clash with the government over his desire to "tell all." I've read several of Joe McMoneagle's books (I loved "The Ultimate Time Machine") and know that a number of other Viewers who worked for government programs have gone public as well. Morehouse has an amazing story of developing psychic (or perhaps psychotic) abilities after a bullet fired at him lodged in his helmet but did not penetrate his head.Morehouse paints himself as a victim, confused about the visions he was seeing and desperately wanting a solution. But in the Army, it would not do to announce that you see distant events and talk to "angels" so Morehouse is left to suffer. Until an Army psychologist refers him to the Remote Viewing project. Morehouse describes himself as a fast learner as he absorbs the method of traveling in time and space. His descriptions of exactly how this was done and how it felt are the best I've read anywhere. He takes incredible journeys in his spirit body -- seeing the Ark of the Covenant and walking on the surface of Mars! But Morehouse is bothered by the use of these abilities -- the government keeps knowledge of Remote Viewing from the public and uses psychics for military purposes rather than harnessing the power for good. I was shocked to read that Morehouse "saw" canisters of chemical gas in the burning oil fields of Iraq during Desert Storm. The implication is clear -- the government knew American soldiers were exposed to chemicals that would ultimately make them sick, yet it went ahead and ended the war and said nothing to Veterans about the danger to which they'd been exposed. I also wondered why the government didn't use Remote Viewers in 2003 to find those missing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or to discover that none existed! Yes, I know the Remote Viewing program is supposed to be disbanded, but Morehouse implies that it must be continuing and once again the public is in the dark. Moreshouse takes loads of credit for "going public" with Remote Viewing, and there is no doubt that he was treated shabbily by the government he had served as an Army officer. But how true are the events described in this book? How could Morehouse remember all the dialog that is on these pages? The story reads like a novel, with his relationship with his wife and kids a dizzying swing between on and off as he deals with his persistent visions and physical symptoms. His wife wants to help him, but also wants to preserve some kind of normal life for her children. She thinks medical treatment, not doing Remote Viewing, is what David needs. But I do believe that there really was no help for a condition like this. It's easy for the medical profession to simply label someone like Morehouse a nut and pump him full of drugs (as was eventually done). Because Morehouse had talent as a Viewer, the government could exploit his ability without caring about his personal emotional trauma. Morehouse does not really explain the mechanism behind his fearsome visions, like imagining himself killing his whole family, or seeing monsters attack him and finding himself all bloody. Of course, in some ways that's the point -- he didn't understand what was happening. But the problem is, neither do we. I can only take this story as Morehouse's memory of what happened to him during his years in the Army. It provides a frightening picture of the power of the government over people who reveal information the government wants kept secret. But it also reveals a complex and comforting view of reality where we are all connected and we are immortal. Morehouse's picture of the spirit world is very consistent with other pictures from other sources that claim such knowledge. I'd have to say that overall the story rings true. And if true, it has many far-reaching implications.

Summary: Best book about remote viewing I've read!
Review: I'm always amused when readers claim to have met "Star Gate Officials" and then offer their personal favorites for readers to enjoy. Personally I think you should read them all if you are truly interested in remote viewing. I've heard Morehouse speak, and I've spoken to several individuals who have taken his training seminars in England. I've never heard a single word that portrayed him as less than honest, caring, brilliant and truthful. You should read this book, and then you should know that it was Morehouse (alone!!) that broke ranks to tell the story that has allowed all the other "Star Gate Officials" to fall out of the woodwork and begin telling their own stories. None of them were brave enough to do it on their own--someone had to pay the price and the was Dave Morehouse. This is an excellent work, bordering on one of the most spiritual works of our time. It is honest--not self aggrandizing, nor self promoting. Read it for a wonderful journey into yourself.

Summary: The universe is not a morally neutral realm- even for spies.
Review: There was once a U.S. government program that trained carefully selected personnel to transcend time and space; to view persons, places, or things remote in time and space; and to gather usable intelligence on the same. The name of this program was Stargate. This account is written by a highly decorated regular army officer(Airborne Ranger Company Commander) who was a recruited to play a direct role as a remote viewer. He was seemingly an unusual candidate for this, having grown up in a career army family and the Mormon church. However, having experienced a head wound, and a resulting near death experience, he began to perceive the world around him in a way that shook his previous misconceptions about the nature of the universe. He even began to doubt his own sanity. Fortunately, in those days there were still a few brilliant and open minds connected with the government that recognised the existance and value of those with "special gifts." This book will give you an overview of the precedure used in the remote viewing process. It also gives a good survey of the types of missions that were attempted. There are several books that can do this acceptably. Morehouse gives insight into the moral and ethical element of the process. You see, he always knew of the higher struggle of Good and Evil in the world and never once lost sight of it (the world would have no purpose without choice between the two.) He shows that this is no doubt what ultimately lead to the demise of the program and the following smear campaign. You see, the CIA tried to take control of the program at the end and nothing "spooked" the "spooks" more than the idea that there might be angels looking over their shoulders. Indeed, the highest ranking intelligence officer in the the army is quoted, before witnesses, as saying that the CIA does nothing that doesn't primarily serve the Agency's own interests- and that they are the biggest assembly of liars and thieves in the country- and an "abomination." These were the words of the army's deputy chief of staff for intelligence. Whether or not you believe any of this is up to you. All I can say is that I have some small experience in these matters and this is the best written, most intelligent, account that I've read. It was a strong ring of truth to it and that is a hard thing to convincingly counterfeit.

Summary: You either believe it or don't, but either way I enjoyed it
Review: I just finished this book and of course I am skeptical (not cynical though) of things I do see much less things I cannot. I will add that the Washington Post did write an article on research in psychic intelligence and that program called Stargate (and yes believe it or not that WAS the name of the program), so see it as you will. Also don't forget "psychological profiling" was once thought of as crap and look where it is now. Can remote viewing enjoy that success? If it is in fact true the only way that will come out is if the the US Gov't comes clean on it (according to FOIA records our gov't has spent quite a bundle!). Quite obviously both sides of the Cold War sought to exploit this issue because this type of intelligence is not thought of in "out of this world" terms in Former SU. At any rate, there were things that had read about or researched about events Morehouse described. I found the small snippet on the Ark of the Covenant to sound quite believable, since I recently read unpublished manuscript of its power. The keepers of the Ark do say that only a select few can approach the Ark and they are the only ones who have done so (if you believe the them/the research) physically. Another thing that rang true was the death of Lt. Col Higgins, not only the small details about him being moved constantly to avoid rescue, but the detail on how his spirit died, which made it inevitable that sooner or later, usually the former, the person does expire. Having read accounts of POWs in most 20th century wars and hostages around the world that rings very true, once you give up hope that usually means a quick end even if the physical body is "healthy." The final chapters became muddled in terms of establishing a timeline, particularly regarding his family life and work on the Gulf War. I wish Morehouse gave more thought in that than jumping around semi-stream on consciously because the previous chapters were quite incoherent. The other thing was the excessive hype on the cover of this book. First off the program he describes is in the DIA not CIA. Secondly, the book could have stood alone without the hype splashed on the cover. If his credentials are what he says they are, his reputation should speak for it, not vice versa. Like most soldiers and especially guys who do intel, SF or black ops, Morehouse account of nearly losing his family are quite true. Members of these services pay a heavy price for an exciting non-24 hour jump, which usually means divorce and loss of custody of children. Morehouse is quite lucky to manage to find someone remarkably strong because, by and large, marriages in such a line of work "enjoy" higher than usual divorce rates and the ensuing screwed up children. The last thing I would add is Morehouse admission that his children are effected by his prolonged absence. This is absolutely true, my mother served and her prolonged absences had a very subtle but extremely deep effect on how and my siblings and I percieve and carry out their lives. Thankfully, Morehouse has the wherewithal to admit that "I did it for you" spiel does not work when a parent is physically absent for long stretches. On that alone, I give this book 5 stars for portraying the sacrifices one makes to serve his country. I also hope that any parent out their who uses the "I spent long hours working for the kids" and expecting them to show unbridled affection is terribly mistaken. I am glad Morehouse publicized that fact. On to Schnabel's book.

Summary: The finest work of non-fiction I've read this year.
Review: I came upon Psychic Warrior quite by accident. It is not the sort of book I usually choose. As a literature major I was at first struck by the fact that a book written by a soldier was also remarkably lyrically written, dealing honestly and intelligently with all the issues of great literature - morality, conscience, duty, love and human excellence and weakness. I got caught up in the poignant internal dialogue as if I were reading a wise yet thrilling novel. However, the author's clear and self-effacing honesty left no doubt in my mind that he was telling the truth. He tells HIS story, makes that clear, and does not pretend to tell the story from any point of view but that of a man who lived through extraordnary human events and paid a huge price for them. At a much simpler lever it is a story documenting the totally incomprehensible way our government can repay a lifetime of meritorious service once the chips are down. I've recently learned that this man is now travelling the world conducting remote viewing seminars, proving that remote viewing is something that everyone has the ability to do, and that anyone can learn. I have yet to take a seminar, but I can think of no better way to spend my vacation time this coming year. The title of the book "Psychic Warrior," is somewhat misleading. This is not a "new age" book as the title suggests. It is nothing less than the first work of a philosopher... a metaphysician in the making. I can't wait to see what Dr. Morehouse comes up with next.

Summary: A "Must Read"
Review: If you have any interest at all in Remote Viewing, PSI, or the misdeeds of the CIA then you MUST read this book. This book describes a frightening but real X Files eposode.

Summary: Reads like badly-written sci-fi
Review: I have no idea whether Morehouse's story is true, or completely made up, but I will say it reads like the latter. I don't believe in conpiracy theories in general not because I don't believe a government would do something bad, but that they could successfully cover it up. It's against all human nature not to talk, especially about something big, so I don't believe secrets are easy to keep nowadays. That said, Morehouse's book reads like badly-written, paranoid sci-fi...not a well-written book, neither believable nor entertaining.

Summary: More than psychic espionage
Review: "Psychic Warrior" is a brave statement about working for peace in the world. But it turns out remote viewing is more than just CIA psychic espionage. I just finished taking 2 remote viewing courses with David Morehouse, author of "Psychic Warrior". The experience was so profound I would like to share it. As soon as we move into the Matrix, enlightenment is downloaded into our consciousness. My life is changed forever. I am still sitting in awe of everything I have seen and read.

Summary: My review
Review: This book is terrific. I was introduced to it (the hardcover version) by Chip Burcham (see below). I enjoyed reading about Mr. Morehouse's excellent work he did with his remote viewing. Like others, I too was shocked to learn that our troops were exposed to harm and how the DIA tried to cover it up. I recommend this book to anyone. Jonathan This next part is written by Chip: I'd want to apologize to Mr. Morehouse and his family for the review I left. I have bipolar disorder. I wish Mr. Morehouse and his family the best of luck, peace, happiness, and serenity. Sincerely, Chip Burcham
