More About the Author

Courtney Brown is a mathematician and social scientist who teaches in the Department of Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He received his Ph.D. degree from Washington University (St. Louis) in 1982 in political science with an emphasis on mathematical modeling. He began his teaching career as a college calculus instructor in Africa before moving on to teach nonlinear differential and difference equation modeling in the social sciences at the University of California at Los Angeles, Emory University, and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research Summer Program at the University of Michigan. He has published numerous books on applied nonlinear mathematical modeling in the social sciences, including two new volumes, one on applied differential equation systems (2007) and another on graph algebra (2008), a new graphical language used for modeling systems. He also has an interest in political music, and has recently published a book on the subject. Independent of his work as a college professor, he is the Director and founder of The Farsight Institute (www.farsight.org), a nonprofit research and educational organization dedicated to the study of a phenomenon of nonlocal consciousness known as "remote viewing." He recently published a book titled "Remote Viewing: The Science and Theory of Nonphysical Perception." In this book he analyzes data and develops a new theory that explains the remote-viewing phenomenon as a consequence of superposition formation on the quantum level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fact or fiction? The fact is this is entertaining fiction..., July 8, 2000

This review is from: Cosmic Voyage: True Evidence of Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth (Paperback)

In 1996 a book called "Psychic Warrior", by David Morehouse, was published. This book exposed an alleged program within the CIA called "Stargate". The purpose of this program was to use psychics as spies via remote viewing, an ability where an individual travels across the barriers of time and space with their mind and gathers information. The story was startling, memorable, and quite believable as well.

In "Cosmic Voyage" Courtney Brown attempts to use his own remote viewing abilities to expose startling secrets and solve age-old mysteries, ranging from the origins of man on Earth, to speaking with Jesus Christ himself, to revealing the Secret of Life! Of course, there are plenty of alien tidbits in between.

These alien tidbits are what made me read this book in the first place, and they are probably the most believable part of this book. I have studied the alien abduction phenomenon for many years and read almost every book on the subject. The amazing thing about this phenomenon is that many of the books on the subject draw striking similarities with each other, almost like a puzzle; Cosmic Voyage seems to fill in some of the missing pieces. While it is certainly entertaining to think that Brown might be using actual psychic abilities and that the revelations in this book are true, there is no proof whatsoever to show that the author didn't just use the less-than-mystical abilities of plagiarism and imagination to fill the pages of this book. It is the aforementioned "Psychic Warrior" novel that gives me a glimmer of hope that this book might actually be true, at least in some parts.

Whether this book is actually true or not doesn't keep it from being an enjoyable read. It is a welcome relief from the all-too-standard alien abduction cases that reveal no information at all about the aliens themselves aside from vague physical descriptions. If this book is indeed fiction, Brown certainly thought up some very creative vignettes that make the reader think a little (I especially like his take on Mars - very smart, which makes it very believable).

Much like a doctor or police officer will enjoy a respective medical or crime drama, a ufologist will find "Cosmic Voyage" a breath of fresh air. It is a refreshing break from the same-old same-old, and it may even provide a new sense of inspiration. I look forward to reading Brown's sequel to this book. Highly recommended.

I just finished reading this book. Dr. Brown is an ex-NSA Remote Viewer. He was engaged on a project to study the "so called" Gray Aliens. This was conducted over a 2 - 3 year period. He studied their history, motives, technology and other attributes. All test sequences were "BLIND" with only one or two front loaded. Interesting and very worthwhile. The only data published was the ones that were verified by other sources. It was easy and a fast read. Highly enjoyable and thought provoking. It certainly gives one a unique insight concerning aliens and ufos. I think this guy is right and this is the best book out there to actually make the issues about ufo's understandable and reasonable. This is a worthwhile purchase. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this with an open mind., May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cosmic Voyage: True Evidence of Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth (Paperback)

This book, if you read it with an open mind and give it a chance, answers an awful lot of questions about man, his place in the universe, how God fits in, and how UFO's and other species fit into the overall scheme of things. I read it slowly and several times, and the thing is, it makes sense, it actually does tie everything together. I believe in Dr. Brown's methods, and I absolutely belive in SRV. Unless he is being deceived in a great way, this may answer many, many questions that I and people like me have been asking for a very long time. Time will eventually tell, and I know that Dr. Brown recently has been under critism for the Hale-Bopp controvery, which by the way, he is unjustly and mistakenly critisized for. I guess we'll wait and see, his findings do corrulate in ways with Robert Monroe's findings, among others. Give the book a chance, read it through and them make up your mind.
