Product Description

Unwittingly plunged into a paranormal nightmare...

David Morehouse-A highly decorated, exemplary Army officer, special operations infantryman, and elite Airborne Ranger Company Commander. Wounded by machine-gun fire during a training mission, Morehouse began to have inexplicable visions and haunting nighmares-an experience that would redirect his military career and land him in the government's top-secret Stargate Program. His life would never be the same...

Stargate-For nearly two decades, the United States military intelligence community delved into the dark world of psychic espionage, recruiting a team of psychic spies to serve as "remote viewers," individuals who used their paranormal gifts to transcend time and space and uncover the highly guarded military secrets of other nations.

Unable to tell the shocking truth for fear of death-until now...

When David Morehouse walked through the doors of the Stargate Program, he had little idea what awaited him: a paranormal hell that would bring him to the front lines of some of the most horrific disasters in recent history-and nearly destroy him. In chilling detail, Morehouse describes his psychic espionage work as a remote viewer, from the shattering explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 to the choking smoke of Desert Storm, even further back in time to Hiroshima and the darkest days of Nazi Germany. And more startling yet is his account of the U.S. government, an organization bent on the destructive use of psychic powers-and on stopping the one man who was brave enough to blow the lid off their top-secret Stargate Program.

From Publishers Weekly
About a year ago, the media reported that the Pentagon had been training and using psychic spies, operatives who garnered information through "remote viewing." According to Morehouse, the media reports arose from a disinformation campaign conducted by the CIA in cooperation with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Here, Morehouse, a former highly decorated army officer?and psychic spy in the Star Gate program?purports to tell the real story and his role in it. Morehouse, we learn, became a psychic literally by accident. He was serving with the infantry in Jordan when he was knocked out by a stray bullet that hit his helmet; afterward, he saw strange visions and experienced out-of-body episodes. Instead of recommending psychiatric treatment, the army placed Morehouse in a top secret program in which agents psychically travel to far-flung sites to "view" prisons, airplane-crash locations and the like. Morehouse's descriptions of his psychic trips are the strength of this book. Most combine mystery and suspense so skillfully that he makes perfectly believable the notion that he "visited" a friend who had been killed in an air crash. But some of his "trips," such as the time-warp call at the burial site of the lost Ark of the Covenant, seem less authentic, though they're equally entertaining. For all the detail in his recounting of his remote-viewing incidents, Morehouse's narrative leaves gaps and unanswered questions, including exactly how the viewing process works, and the Star Gate program's exact provenance. Readers may need to do some remote viewing of their own to fill in the blanks, but overall this is a dramatic tale told with flair. Photos not seen by PW.

Captain Moorehouse is how I knew him
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

Angels and Demons and BS, Oh My!
I will admit that I too read this book cover-to-cover and was intrigued by its story. The problem is, I became so engaged that I began doing subsequent research into the field of remote viewing and, appropriately enough, began to "see the truth." Psychic Warrior is a highly fictionalized, exxagerated, self-serving vehicle for its disgraced author to exploit his fleeting brush with the RV program for money.

David Morehouse had the shortest tenure of any of the Army's remote viewers who have gone on to make a living as "experts" on the technique. According to those fellow viewers, most of the "exploits" in RV that Morehouse takes credit for in this book were actually accomplished by other people. The best example is his "Mars expedition," which was in fact conducted by Joe McMoneagle. An actual transcript of Joe's session is available as a bonus with purchase of Skip Atwater's book "Captain of My Ship, Master of My Soul" and it more or less proves that Morehouse is trying to take credit for someone else's work. The Psychic Warrior book is full of events and accomplishments that Morehouse tries to take credit for, most of which actually occured when Morehouse wasn't even in the program.

In fact, most of the revered remote viewers (McMoneagle, Ingo Swann, Russell Targ, Paul Smith) seem to consider Morehouse to be the RV community's "odd man out," especially after he was forced out of the Army for having an affair with his enlisted driver's wife among other things. That part of the book is even more suspect; Morehouse continually makes excuses for himself and tries to paint himself as a victim of some sort of government plot as a result of his threat to "expose the truth" about RV, instead of taking accountability for his illegal and immoral actions.

But two facts must be considered here: First, the Army itself declassified the program and released mountains of information about it; it is highly doubtful that they would make attempts on the lives of Morehouse's entire family over something they were already planning to open the lid on. Second, practically every other significant member of both the SRI program and the military's program has gone on to write books, author instructional materials and even teach courses in remote viewing, and not a single other one has been "targeted" by higher powers as Morehouse claims to have been.

If anyone out there is interested in reading about remote viewing and its history within both the civilian science sector and the military/government, I would highly recommend that you read Paul Smith's "Reading the Enemy's Mind" instead of Morehouse's fictionalized waste of time. Smith, who acted as unit historian for the Army's program, provides an infinitely more reliable, intelligent and engaging account of the development and implementation of remote viewing. And if you would then be inclined to study the technique yourself, I would suggest you examine Skip Atwater's course at the Monroe Institute in Virginia before plunking down the $1,000 + to study with Morehouse. After all, Atwater spent years training most of the viewers in a program that Morehouse was kicked out of after only a brief time.

I wouldn't have had such a problem with Psychic Warrior if it had been marketed as a work of fiction. It is a shame that such a perversion of the truth ends up being many people's initial introduction to something as significant to humankind as remote viewing.

The finest work of non-fiction I've read this year.
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.
