Amazon.com Review
Joseph McMoneagle was one of the original remote viewers recruited into the military's Project Stargate, a once secret army project designed to use trained remote viewers for spying during the cold war. For the uninitiated, remote viewing (often referred to as RV) is a skill that allows a person (viewer) to envision events, people, or objects that are not within eyesight--in another room or in another country (and sometimes in the future).

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 a great master 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. --Tara West

From Library Journal
"Remote viewing" is the ability to perceive psychically and describe unknown objects, people, places, or events. McMoneagle (Mind Trek, The Ultimate Time Machine), a former U.S. Army officer who worked for the Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), was recruited for the top-secret remote-viewing program known as STARGATE. Other books on this subject (e.g., Jim Schnabel's Remote Viewers, Dell, 1997; David Morehouse's Psychic Warrior, St. Martin's, 1996) are more biographical; McMoneagle instead offers basic definitions, examples, and qualifications that would be needed by the potential remote viewer. The second half of the book includes detailed training methods, technical applications, and protocols omitted in his previous titles. Because there is a lot of new information here, this is recommended for larger public and academic libraries.

Not so much a training guide . . .
Joseph's "handbook" is not a training guide. The author even states in the book that he does not really wish to train remote viewers. This book is a reference guide for wannabe's or remote viewers wishing to make a comparative study of their own training protocols and methodologies. Joe gives a definitive description of what remote viewing "is not"! Very well written, graceful and descriptive detail of a much misunderstood subject. Highly recommended as an invaluable adjunct to fill in the gaps for past, present, and future remote viewers!

What secret? Poorly written.
I read from cover to cover, where is the secret? It is all very commonly known experience, all these information you can get it from the Internet, I do not have to spend money on this book.
Author needs to get a better book lay out and tells us something we have not already known. Poorly written.

Remote Viewing with Ethics
At last, a book about remote viewing that includes ethics; although I would have liked to see the ethical remarks a little earlier in the book. As a professional clairvoyant in Glastonbury, England, I am often saddened by the lack of ethical judgment offered by some. However I do not agree that clairvoyants just 'read minds'. If I do that, how do I provide an accurate reading for someone who sent me an e-mail and whom I never get to meet?
There is still room for discussion and discussion that I would welcome.
It is interesting to see though, that much of what the author suggests, I do naturally. That said the ideas for training are invaluable, both for working with students and for improving one's own remote viewing.
The author leaves me with questions, like for instance, how is it that I can link into a friend (with their prior permission) and see what they are doing, and where they are, just by thinking about them? Will the author write more books on the wider subject of psychic skills and if so when? I await the next book with anticipation.
