Remote Viewing: What It Is, Who Uses It and How To Do It [Paperback]

Tim Rifat (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2003

Remote viewing is the ability to travel psychically out of one's body to remote locations. Scientist Tim Rifat reveals how remote viewing has been used in psychic warfare for more than 50 years and how the superpowers have used it to spy on each other . . . and on us. At the height of the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States developed a new and terrible form of warfare called psychotronics. This school of espionage used ESP and psychic spying as well as telepathic hypnosis and even remote killing. Tim Rifat provides scientific explanations of how remote viewing works and detailed instructions on how to learn the techniques-information that is taught in the US on courses costing many thousands of dollars.

2.0 out of 5 stars A MUDDLE OF A BOOK, June 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Remote Viewing: What It Is, Who Uses It and How To Do It (Paperback)

This is a muddle of a book. Good sections on RV technique, that may or may not be fully grounded in experience and study, intermingle with preposterous accusations against MI5 in the UK and against the business elites that Rifat believes control the world.

Rifat's bibliography is a puzzle. He doesn't refer to excellent sources that one would expect him to have used, or that he ought to wish to recommend to readers, and yet he cites Wittgenstein and Chomsky who are way off the subject.

I don't find Rifats "scientific" explanations for RV, RI etc plausible.

Where I suspect he is at his best is giving a relatively diverse set of protocols for types of mind-reach activities...but the weaknesses of his text detract greatly from those strengths.

He seems more concerned to advertise or brag about his capabilities than to educate.

4.0 out of 5 stars To the point?, January 11, 2004

This review is from: Remote Viewing: What It Is, Who Uses It and How To Do It (Paperback)

I found that this book gets to the point really quickly, maybe a bit to quickly! The author seems to cover every aspect of remote viewing but the instructions seemed a bit to rushed for me. The book did not dive into the science of remote viewing, so unless you have read lots about the human bioplasmic body, such as books on chakras and auras, you may not get as much out of the book as you could have. Also some of the stories are repetitious. Not a very well edited book. But it does seem to cover a bit of everything pertaining to remote viewing, and has lots of how to instructions, quick as they are. If the author ever writes an updated version of this book I hope he gets himself a good editor who could make this book more readable and usable, then he will get 5 stars from me.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE CURIOUS, February 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Remote Viewing: What It Is, Who Uses It and How To Do It (Paperback)

I found this book very useful as an introduction to Remote Viewing. While Rifat doesn't do the best job of putting together a structured course or timeline for learning Remote Viewing he does introduce many techniques and protocols used in Remote Viewing. If you are curious about Remote Viewing and don't know much about it this is a good book to get you introduced. However if you plan on learning to Remote View I would suggest this book not be your only source of information on the topic. Try some of McMoneagles books, a video tape learning course, or if you have the money an actual Remote Viewing learning course by a trained professional. I will agree with some of the other reviews posted that Rifat doesn't do a good job of sighting his sources, but if you know much about Remote Viewing and it's history, the vast majority of his facts checkout. One other thing, another reviewer complained about Rifat not "proving" Remote Viewing on a scientific basis and that his explainations were simple. My comment towards that would be this: 1)Rifat had to keep this book readable for the average person, and the average person is no expert at reading scientific jargon and 2)Remote Viewing still isn't completely understood, even by the governments that have spent decades and millions of dollars in research on it, and with the narrow minded view most scientist take toward the world the necassary research hasn't been done to explain exactly how it works, which is probably on a quantum level and only recently have scientist begun to delve into this area of research. Overall I'd say again the book is worth the read, and is a good way to introduce yourself to the techniques and protocols, but if you are serious about Remote Viewing, I would stongly suggest and additional source of training and information.
