Summary: My review
Review: *Note: READ THIS AFTER YOU READ THE BOOK. *Note that "M" stands for "Morehouse". Book was excecptionally well written for an autobiography -- M had included over 150 exact quotes from his family, unit, etc., but author and family were cowards during M's involvement with Stargate and I'll explain why. In Chapter IV, M wrote how the news of his unit was "scaring his wife and how it would eventually scare the kids". This was just a pure lack of discipline on behalf of Debbie M. Michael, the 10 year old son of Morehouse at the time, seemed fairly able to cope with Morehouse's news. Michael was in a Boy Scout Troop -- you would think by now he'd have been more braver. Later, M has a vision nightmare sent from what would be considered demons by your religious officials. He wakes up and starts crying along with Debbie. Michael was there and you'd think he'd be able to cope with what happened. Again, this was just a pure lack of discipline on behalf of the Morehouse's. Note that those demons are real -- I did RV them in fact for my own personal scientific exploratory curiosity. In Chapter V, M wrote how he challenged his congregation to to expand their minds -- he thought they assumed he was "crazy". If there any of you in his congregation at the time, please state how you felt about M's sermon of Temples -- Beyond the Ritual. Then, in Chapter VI, M wrote how he encountered "a man seated with 6 identical men identically dressed" -- the man laughed an evil laugh and M tells the guy to "leave him alone", instead of confronting him (note these 7 identical men are really do exist -- I was given a photo of them by a Stargate official, who they are, I'll find out). Then M wrote how he ascended above them and saw a terrible sight -- he describes the sight. Personally, how M could not handle the sight was just resultant of M's lack of discipline.

Summary: An EXTREMELY thought provoking book ...
Review: In order to read and truly appreciate the contents of Dr. Morehouse's story, you absolutely MUST have an open mind. One must have the ability to consider the possibilities that reach beyond what is considered normal or typical ... or even POSSIBLE. I began reading this book with a curiousity. What exactly does a remote viewer do? What does a remote viewer actually see? I wonder if they can feel it? These questions, and about a hundred other questions, occupied my mind. Now realizing that not ALL things can be explained in this world, I anxiously delved into Dr. Morehouse's book. As the book progressed, I began to consider the possibility that Morehouse was suffering from a mental illness. In large part, I felt empathy for him. Here was a man with a brilliant career and with unlimitless potential being struck down with a psychiatric illness. I would continue to turn each page wondering what would happen to him next. By about the middle of the book, I was convinced David Morehouse was a schizophrenic. However, I kept reading and wondering WHAT is going to happen next? It wasn't long after that my view began to shift ... no, this guy isn't suffering mentally at all. These are real events. There are other people who can do what Dr. Morehouse claims to be able to accomplish. There are even other high ranking people outside of Stargate operations who realize and acknowledge the potential (and hazards/risks) of remote viewing. When I finally finished this book, I was left with a profound feeling of ... wow! It was like a "thump" in my mind. I know the power of the human mind is extrordinary, but, what David Morehouse experienced (and can experience) is incrediable. He literally went through an odyssey, and, I don't think his journey is over.Although I still have trouble comprehending the time travel experiences cited in the book, I can't completely rule out the possibilities. I'm left with the impression that this perhaps can be done ... I really don't know for certain. Therefore, I can't say it's impossible. I highly recommend reading this book. If for nothing else, it will stir your consciousness in respect to what is considered possible.

Summary: Captain Moorehouse is how I knew him
Review: I was under CPT Moorehouse's command From E-1 to E-5. I was in 2nd plt Bco. 1/75 Ranger Bn at Hunter Army Airfield Savannah Ga. It was my platoon on the Objective when CPT Moorehouse had been shot in the head. Unfortunately I wasn't personally on that deployment due to a death in my family. SFC Ricketts, SFC Hayes, Lt. Wright, Lt. Owens were my leaders growing up in the Ranger Bn. All of us under the Command of Captain David Moorehouse. This book would be totally unbelievable to me except for one fact, the man who wrote it. I was in his company nearly the entire time he was in command. I am currently in Special Forces and have been in the military over 12 years. My entire career has been in special operations; and up to date I have not had a commander or Team leader that could hold a candle to Cpt. Moorehouse. As the CQ runner,while under his command, I would have the duties to clean his office in the evenings. I would stand in awe of his walls hanging his military diplomas. Diploma after diploma was distinguished honor graduate or honor graduate. This in it self would set himself far above his peers. But it was my personal witness to his commitment to his soldiers, his company, and mission accomplishment that proved his true character. This man truly trained his company for war not for his OER, which, I believe, most commanders do. On more than one occasion I witnessed him break range control regs, putting his career on the line, so we could have the most realistic training possible. So his company would be truly ready for combat not just looking like it on paper for the higher echelons pleasure. He had tremendous standards which he held the company to. He would not have any of his men do anything he wasn't first willing to do himself. I once witnessed him carrying two rucksacks on a road march. One rucksack was his own and the other was a soldier's ruck who could not keep up the pace. There are too many incidents proving his selflessness and dedication to mention. One thing I can say for sure is I was there. I was a witness to his professionalism, his character, and to this day I would follow him into combat without hesitation. There are many great soldier's in Special Ops and CPT Moorehouse was one of the best. His book is an eye opener for everyone currently in Special Ops. Though by far the most unbelievable non-fiction story I have ever read, I believe this to be truthful coming from CPT. Moorehouse. Bringing this out in the open just proves to me that the utmost Selfless, dedicated, and professional officer I have ever met hasn't changed. 18D4VW9

Summary: Well worth reading
Review: Morehouse is definitely worth reading on the topic! He was in the program, and has a compelling personal story to tell. If you have a chance to hear him or take his training, do that too!
The best overall book providing a complete perspective on remote viewing, which should be read no matter what else you read, is Jim Schnabel's _Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies_.
DON'T READ _Psychic Battlefield_ by Mandelbaum, who for some reason reviews every book on the general topic with a plug for his own sophomoric book.

Summary: Government Shenanigans
Review: This is a useful book for those of us who definitely believe that all is not as it seems re "Reality" and "Our Noble System of Government." Dr Morehouse "remote viewed" the "real" story behind the Lockerbie pan Am bombing, Chemical Warfare during "Desert Storm" and so on. Because he threatened the establishment- in that he was prepared to reveal classified information re his "astral" or "remote viewing" trips on behalf of the USA "Stargate" programme - his family almost died due to a botched assassination attempt and so on. Thankfully , he has now devoted his gift for the spiritual benefit of humanity. A good read and throroughly recommended.

Summary: Sooooo Glad I Got It From The Library...
Review: In this autobiography, we read about Mr. Morehouse's experiences as a part of the U.S. military's remote viewing project. I picked this up because I like the idea of psionics and psychic powers, and thought it might make interesting reading. Sadly, I was wrong. Without going into too much detail, I cannot believe what the author is trying to tell me. There are too many inconsistencies in his reactions and what he tells his readers. One example is his "borrowing" classified information to serve as possible protection later...when he says he had no inkling he might have anything to worry about from being a part of the project. He also isn't the best of writers. This can be fixed with judicious editing, but that seems to be lacking. Yes, he probably isn't trained to write dialogue, but the effect is to make the dialogue unbelievable, and convince me that he's not being entirely honest. Perhaps I'm being too harsh. I don't think so, though. I *laughed* reading this book. It's not supposed to be funny. I wanted to like this book...as I said above, I like the idea of psychic powers, but reading this book is almost enough to convince one that they don't, in fact, exist.

Summary: With this technological development, nothing can be secret.
Review: Imagine that the U.S. government has a way to transcend time and space for the purpose of intelligence gathering. Our government has already done that. It was called Project Stargate. It was once one of the most secret of government programs which spawned a technology called Remote Viewing. Remote Viewing capabilities enabled mortal men to tap the "collective unconscious" to reveal a memory bank of all of human history ... or even of events to yet to come! The most amazing thing is the U.S. government had been engaged in this activity since the 1970s! Sounds too fantastic, sensational, and unbelievable, you say? Get this -- some developmental research was done via government contract at the Stanford Research Institute, a well-respected Silicon Valley research institute. Does this add credibility? This book is excellent documentation of one ex-army officer's hellish experience in working to expose the CIA's Stargate program. Millions of our of taxpayer dollars have been spent on this fascinating development, yet the U.S. government publicly denies that it works and distance itself from involvement with something that is labeled "psychic" in origin. David Morehouse has risked all -- family, reputation, military career -- to tell the world of this profound secret.

Summary: Doesn't ring quite true
Review: Something's wrong here. The author takes a bullet in the head in combat and develops psychic powers (an episode of the old _Outer Limits_). He travels out-of-the-body and sees angels (any near-death book). He views the Ark of the Covenant (_Raiders of the Lost Ark._) He travels out-of-the-body to distant planets (Swedenborg thought he did the same thing). He is involved in a secret government project (not his _Stargate,_ but just like the movie). The government is out to get him (_The X-Files_). Terrible things happen to him out of his body (why have no others reported this?) And he is healed by some ancient American Indian ceremony. Something's skewed here. Why do I feel I'm being conned?

Summary: Not just for spies
Review: What I enjoyed about Pschic Warrior is Dave Morehouse's comprehensive view of the usefulness of remote viewing. I wonder if a remote viewer could, by searching backward on the time line, view the origins of the slow development of Alzheimer's. I loved the accounts of the significance of his guidance from "his angel". I love that he met his angel in a Jordanian desert. I loved reading about the thoughtful, consientious psychiatrist who treated Dr. Morehead with such respect and competence. I am inspired by the depth of love that allowed his family to heal after being put to such intensely trying tests. The importance of Psychic Warrior is IMO that this powerful technology of remote viewing is a tool that needs to be used in the service of humanity--not limited to espionage.

Summary: READ THIS ONE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Review: As the author of the newly released PSYCHIC BATTLEFIELD, (St. Martin's Press 2/2000) I performed extensive research into the complete history of psychic spying. No doubt about it, Morehouse was a competent remote viewer. No doubt about it, Morehouse wrote a fascinating book. However, some of the real dates, times and persons have been put through a factoid blender, and there is significant controversy about Morehouse and his Gulf War "visions" as to when and where they took place. Further, there is significant controversy as to the real reasons for any "persecution" Morehouse suffered. With that in mind, I highly recommend this work as it gives one the flavor of what went on--although this dish is somewhat overspiced.
