Remote Viewing: What It Is, Who Uses It and How to Do It

Rating:
Summary: The best of its kind
Review: After reading several of the most popular books on remote viewing, I found this one the most practical and easiest to understand and work with. It starts with a history of both the American and the Russian efforts during the Cold War and then gives an excitingly workable set of methods which I feel will work for anyone who gives them a decent try. The other books I started reading with excitement and finished with disappointment. This one has reawakened my dormant interest in a fascinating subject which too many others make dreary.

Summary: Telepathic Hypnosis and Remote Killing !!
Review: After reading this book carefully, most carefully I must emphasize, I got more than my money's worth.
I discovered my wife in flagrante with my junior business partner. I had not had an inkling.
I quickly discovered a new girlfriend, by looking through walls.
As well as a multitude of rats' nests.

Summary: To the point?
Review: I found that this book gets to the point really quickly, maybe a bit to quickly! The author seems to cover every aspect of remote viewing but the instructions seemed a bit to rushed for me. The book did not dive into the science of remote viewing, so unless you have read lots about the human bioplasmic body, such as books on chakras and auras, you may not get as much out of the book as you could have. Also some of the stories are repetitious. Not a very well edited book. But it does seem to cover a bit of everything pertaining to remote viewing, and has lots of how to instructions, quick as they are. If the author ever writes an updated version of this book I hope he gets himself a good editor who could make this book more readable and usable, then he will get 5 stars from me.

Summary: Telepathic Hypnosis and Remote Killing !!
Review: If you know anything about the subject of remote viewing this book might make you die laughing. One of the least informative. I have most of the books and have read much of what has been written in several years of study in the field and all I can say is don't waste your time or money.

Review: Rifat is so blinded by conspiracy theories that it makes his book laughable. Buy another book on Remote Viewing.

Summary: GREAT FOR THE CURIOUS
Review: Rifat offers readers plenty of exciting information here, however most of it seems driven by an attempt to sell books rather than to educate honestly. He builds quite a mystique surrounding RV, mainly using exaggerated or unique examples, and then offers only simple, underdeveloped methods of practice.

People interested in honing their own RV skills would find books like McMoneagle's much more helpful, but for those desiring an entertaining, more enigmatic read, Rifat is excellent.

As far as Rifat bringing science to RV, his explanations are too colloquial and shaky at best. Whether he underestimates his readers or his evidence is scientifically unfounded I do not know, but he fails to offer the plausible explanations that are promised.

Overall, it's a fun read but not nearly what Rifat or the back cover claim. I Hope this HONEST review helps - I'm neither a publisher nor a reviewer by profession. Thanks

Summary: A MUDDLE OF A BOOK
Review: This is a muddle of a book. Good sections on RV technique, that may or may not be fully grounded in experience and study, intermingle with preposterous accusations against MI5 in the UK and against the business elites that Rifat believes control the world.

Rifat's bibliography is a puzzle. He doesn't refer to excellent sources that one would expect him to have used, or that he ought to wish to recommend to readers, and yet he cites Wittgenstein and Chomsky who are way off the subject.

I don't find Rifats "scientific" explanations for RV, RI etc plausible.

Where I suspect he is at his best is giving a relatively diverse set of protocols for types of mind-reach activities...but the weaknesses of his text detract greatly from those strengths.

He seems more concerned to advertise or brag about his capabilities than to educate.
