Psychic Warrior: Inside the Cia's Stargate Program : The True Story of a Soldier's Espionage and Awakening

Rating:
Summary: A "Must Read"
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: Excellent "ostensibly true" autobiography ("victim" story)
Review: David Morehouse comes across as a modern day shaman, Jedi Warrior wannabe. His stories are fantastic and well told, but researching the background of his tale leaves MUCH ROOM FOR THE TRUTH, important parts of which, quite frankly, I think Mr. Morehouse appears to have deliberately left out of his book. Still, all in all, a very good read. For example, Mr. Morehouse DOES NOT TALK ABOUT HIS "PSYCHIC WARRIOR" HOLLYWOOD MOVIE DEAL!! Why not? If I may speculate, I think that's because it would taint his motives. Also, Mr. Morehouse does not even come close to relating the REAL BACKGROUND to the Stargate program. A much better, well written, and believable account can be found in "REMOTE VIEWERS: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies" by Jim Schnabel, ISBN 0-440-22306-7. Pages 350-353 and 383-386 of Mr. Schnabel's book give a quick "snapshot" of Mr. Morehouse's involvement in Stargate, and HIS PURSUIT OF OUTSIDE INTERESTS while he was being paid to be a full-time Army Officer. If you want a good, well-told yarn -- which you should take with a BIG GRAIN OF SALT -- read "Psychic Warrior". It's a lot of fun. If you want solid information, read Schnabel's book, "Remote Viewers". If you want balanced truth (i.e., well-researched journalism), adventure, and thrills, read both.

Summary: amazing read
Review: David Morehouse's book is a rollercoaster ride! The first time I started reading it the hairs stood up on the back of my neck, and then I started crying. I became obsessed with his story, which is both touching and stranger than fiction. I was absolutely riveted by his macabre and inspirational material. His revelations about the American government's workings, and its spy program, are incredibly relevent in light of what has come out in Michael Moore's movie, "Fahrenheit /9/11". David Morehouse's insights into the potential of the human psyche are even greater. I've read the book twice and then took a remote viewing class with him. The guy is whip smart and he puts his money where his mouth is with this, his life's work: teaching people to reach the greater, the deeper, the higher, recesses of their minds and souls.

Summary: Tried it Myself
Review: I met David Morehouse while on a retreat in a rain forest preserve in Costa Rica. I had a chance to talk with the man before I knew about or read the book. I was moved by his message and intrigued by his methods. So much in fact, I later took the classes and learned about remote viewing. I was blown away by the results. What he has to say about remote viewing in the book is only the beginning of what you can do with the remote viewing protocols he so wonderfulyl teaches. If you have any urge to see how more there is to you than your five senses, then reading the Psychic Warrior is a good place to start.

Summary: Two Books In One
Review: I purchased "Psychic Warrior" because of my interest in the concept of remote viewing. The author not only answered most of my questions, he also informed me about the methods our government will use to cover up a covert operation. What he claims they did is more than a little frightening. Both the remote viewing and the covert operations subjects would make an interesting book, putting both together makes the book somewhat unique and a very fascinating read.

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: 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.

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

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: Interesting but check this out
Review: This is a very interesting story, but only a fraction of it is true. Check out; (...)

"The accounts in his book are, at best, a highly fictionalized version of events that transpired."

"The fact is this book is the epitome of hypocrisy. Morehouse, encouraged by St. Martins Press, has hit a series of topical "hot buttons" including, angels, Government assassination conspiracies, and Gulf War syndrome, family values, and wrapped them in the American flag. There is abject disregard for truth. Do not buy this book. If you must read it, borrow it from library."
