As a trained remote viewer, I felt the book began in earnest with a fair depiction of a remote viewing system. An early chapter candidly illustrates a key paradox to the process, namely, that one can describe a target accurately while completely misinterpreting it. The story of the three blind men describing an elephant comes to mind.

The remainder of the book, however, appears to omit this crucial pitfall, instead implicitly presenting interpretations as free from error. It's no different than an elephant being described as snake-like by the blind man at the rear.

This juxtaposition of non fiction with what can only be fairly labelled "mis-fiction" is confusing at best.

If this book were merely science fiction, it might have been a decent, albeit simplistic, read. The Good Greys versus the Evil Reptilians is more reminiscent of a television wrestling match than any serious examination of possible extraterrestrial life.

At least it would have no use for the seemingly endless descriptions of Brown's experimental set-up. ("Cut to the chase" should have been the publisher's mantra.)

Overall, this book is too misleading for the uninitiated.

Dr. Courtney Brown adds the human spirit to the toolkit now available to collect and analyze intelligence. He presents his collection methodology exhaustively, to dispel misconceptions which could arise when first confronted with an emerging science. He walks us through his calibration runs, and then heads for the stars, where not one, not two, but three species of ET appear. Dr. Brown then makes the effort to place them into a social science context, highlighting the socially-relevant points where our perceptions as species differ. This effort, of course, falls into the category of analysis.

I admire Dr. Brown for his integrity. He collects the raw data and presents it to us as raw data. He draws his conclusions--the analyses, and candidly presents them as such, so that the reader is always clear on which is collected data and which is in fact interpretation of the data.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, Dr. Brown's new book places Scientific Remote Viewing firmly on the socio-political landscape.

Dr. Brown presents us with tools we can use immediately, and with analyses which must in fact await verification using alternate sources and methods. His methods are firmly within the realm of science, but his conclusions by their nature will remain controversial until ET shows up as a line-item in the congressional budget process.

Remember, where our minds go, there, our hardware will surely follow. To get ready, Dr. Brown takes the human spirit into a different perceptual reality and brings us back a stimulating preview of possible futures.

Give Dr. Brown five stars for rigourous presentation of methodology and a downright exciting read!

Presently this one of the important books to guide the way for the consciosness and evolutionary changes in the upcoming Era. Should you choose to read it,I think it will be to your benefit.Rather then passing by it with hurried intellectual reading do so with a subjective attitude, and consider it as one of the keys to the puzzle.

I've not read Cosmic Explorers yet, however, my rating is based on Cosmic Voyage, which I have already read. Remote Viewers, by definition, has no "hard" tangible evidence of what they've viewed in their mind. I've never "seen" God, but believe in God's existence.

It's been said that Discovery comes in three stages: 1. It is ridiculed; 2. It is viciously attacked; and 3. It is accepted as self-evident. Remote Viewing is at Stage 2.

I haven't read "Cosmic Explorers" yet, just "Cosmic Voyage" so far, but I just needed to say something to these extremely educated reviewers down below. I'm sure you are all very intelligent, and have worked extremely hard (and spent a great deal of money) to get your degrees and titles. Please remember one thing, however: hundreds of years ago, people with educational backgrounds similar to yours insisted that the Earth was the center of the universe, it was flat, and that monsters rested just beyond the edge of the horizon. This was scientific fact back then, and there was apparently a great amount of scientific "proof" establishing it.

Scientific Fact: the larger the mind is, the more difficult it is to open.

Thank you.

Dr. Courtney Brown does a credible job describing his version of remote viewing, Scientific Remote Viewing or "SRV," in the first third of the book, with some nice examples of typical remote viewing sessions. This quickly falls into the same tired alien agenda of his other work, Cosmic Voyage.

Dr. Brown begins by explaining that remote viewing is a natural psi ability that all humans have and can enhance using his special protocols, which have been derived from the military remote viewing program. He goes on to explain that remote viewing should only be used for verifiable targets - real life places and things, so that the viewer can have feedback to see that the process works. By the second half of the book, Brown is conversing with Reptilian aliens, a "Galactic Federation" council member specifically sent to converse with Brown's Farsight Institute, and more! Brown doesn't take his own advice on tasking and analysis in the second half of the book, and as a professor at a private university, he shows us that he is more willing to participate in sensationalism rather than the more mundane actual work of science.

I've read lots of book on remote viewing and this one seems more like fiction than fact. Brown never gives us transcripts of the remote viewing, but instead rambles on and on about what was learned during the remote viewing exercises. I'd be more inclined to believe the really weird stuff that was encountered during RV sessions if they didn't sound like a sci-fi novel about a war between alien races fighting over Earth.

And the whole thing about needing to RV through the mind of a willing Grey to spy on the reptilians is just too bizarre. The whole book is just too bizarre, and that's coming from someone who believes aliens are on the moon and pyramids are on Mars.

This is more of an addendum to Brown's last book, not so much a new work.

The new wrinkle to his remote-viewings of aliens is the addition of Reptilians to the mix. Brown says his first book was a bit naive in its benevolent view of the universe, and he now realizes there are hostile forces working against the human species.

I have read COSMIC VOYAGE and loved it.the DODO from San Diego doesn't even know that Courtney Brown is a MAN so he couldn't have read the book. His review should be removed from this column.Since I loved his first book I am now ordering Cosmic Explorers.

Dr. Brown thoroughly introduces the topic of remote viewing, giving its limitations and uses. After doing this, the "far-out" data seems rather credible and Brown achieves a authoritative voice. READ this book and look at the world a little differently.
