At last something real!, August 25, 2005
This review is from: Remote Viewing: The Gold Standard Course (DVD)
After being disappointed again and again by material I have purchased on remote viewing, I came across Stephan Schwartz's Gold Standard Course. If you really want to know the truth about how this ability actually was developed, as opposed to the fanciful stories and phony claims that seem to be the substance of most accounts, the Gold Standard is for you. Buy this set! And if you really want to learn how to do it yourself I have not found anything better than this compendium course Stephan has put together. He has all the significant figures you read about over and over, but never actually hear, all in one collection. But for me the real strength of the gold standard course is in the CDs that take you through the experiences just as if you were in one of the RV labs, and had a master teacher gently guiding you along. Using the "Remote Viewing" CD I finally was able to understand how to remote view successfully, by actually remote viewing, thanks to the step-by-step walk through the CD provides. But that is not my favorite, as good as it is. I have had a chronic illness and have found the "Healing" CD particularly helpful. This CD helps you to view your own body and then to stimulate your own healing powers. It has been wonderful.

Learn Remote Viewing from its Masters, June 24, 2005
This review is from: Remote Viewing: The Gold Standard Course (DVD)
This is a truly fine course in remote viewing-both what it is and how to learn to do it-but it is a lot more than that. Stephan Schwartz has been involved in remote viewing from its modern beginnings, working at about the same time with his own separate research program as the now famous military funded remote viewing program. In the fall of 2003, he organized and assembled a conference at the A.R.E. Headquarters in Virginia Beach where he brought together most of the greatest names in remote viewing history: Ingo Swann, Hal Puthoff, Russell Targ, and many more. I attended this conference and heard all the speakers. The 10 DVD's included in this set provide a record of these illuminating presentations by the founders and masters of the subject. The production work is excellent and certainly is studio quality. I was there, and these videos bring you closer to the speakers than people sitting in the front row. There is nothing else available like this at any price. For example, Hal Puthoff's talk is the very best review of the history of the SRI remote viewing program that I have ever seen. He should know, since he founded the program and led the work.
On the 5 CD's that come with the course, you will find everything you need in order to learn how to do remote viewing yourself. On the first CD, Schwartz explains what remote viewing is and how to do it. He covers the selection of targets, protocols, analysis, and feedback. As something of a bonus, a short but excellent discussion is included of how to do meditation, which tends to enhance remote viewing results. There are guided sessions to lead you through several remote viewing experiences with various sorts of "targets": different locations, different times, classic outbound remote viewing, and sensing another person. The second and third CD's take you through time, one to the time before you were born and the other into the future to the year 2050. The fourth CD guides you into remote viewing as an aid to health and healing. The fifth contains a number of PDF files that are helpful for recording results of remote viewing sessions and keeping records.
With this course, you can learn all about remote viewing through time and space: its history, its uses, and how to do it. It is a wonderful set of material and I highly recommend it. In addition, Stephan Schwartz has written some fascinating books on the history of remote viewing and its use in archaeology over the last hundred years or so (The Secret Vaults of Time) and on his own experience taking a remote viewing team to Egypt to do archaeological work (The Alexandria Project). These are also extremely good, and I recommend them to anyone with an interest in remote viewing. Schwartz is a master of the topic and of how to teach it to others.

Incredible opportunity, June 26, 2005
This review is from: Remote Viewing: The Gold Standard Course (DVD)
Stephan's Gold Standard course is educational, insightful and entertaining. I was fortunate enough to attend his annual SchwartzReport conference at the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach, where he brought together the original experts in the field of remote viewing. This course is an incredible distillation of more than 30 years worth of their combined experience. If you are interested in learning about remote viewing, it just doesn't get any better than this.
