This book was the first to reveal some experimental work in the field of "Enhancing Human Performance" carried out by the US military & intelligence community. A significant core of the book, for me, was the previously classified material on "The Jedi Project", which utilised NLP and similar advanced learning technologies to train soldiers in pistol shooting, with dramatic results. Other chapters deal with topics which have since become more widely, and controversially known , such as Remote Viewing. All in all The Warrior's Edge displays a fascinating junction of military practicality and new age beliefs.

The book while explaining cutting edge reserarch in the military, really is an excellent book about developing the skills and technqiues on how to expertly master new skills, influence others skillfully and ethically, goal-setting, and many other topics. Very unique information, using a lot of neuro-linguistic programming. Really enjoyed the chapter on reality mapping, in helping me to understand that other people interpret the world according to their own assumptions and values. Great book. Highly recommend, because it's not about killing, but living your life and achieving your full potential.

This is an interesting book on the subject of enhancing human performance. While the book was geared toward the field of business, it has direct applications to other fields such as self-defense and martial arts. Although the title is about "psychic" techniques for performance enhancement, it is not a book of esoteric study. Instead it is a scientific study of various methods of enhancing the mind and the body through non-traditional training techniques.

While there are other books that cover some of these techniques, this is the only title I have seen that covers them in such detail. I would recommend this title to anyone interested in improving themselves. It's too bad that such a great title is out of print.

I have read this book several times. I have used many of the techniques described in it to my advantage. The authors explain how to develop your mental edge making you a more valuable asset to your employer. It also provides you some insight to the capabilities of the human mind. I would recommend this book for leaders in the military, law enforcement, and corporate business.

Though written with a view toward wide-ranging applications, including modern business, this text is possibly the best, most in-depth training manual on advanced human performance training methods derived from the Asian Martial Arts and esoteric sciences ever written.

Of TREMENDOUS value to martial arts practitioners, Special Forces soldiers, Commandos, SWAT teams and trainers in the area of advanced human development as well as those involved in high-level corporate business, this manual is of greater value than can be accurately described in this space. It contains many formerly secret training methods developed and used by both U.S. Army Intelligence and the CIA. A now very rare and hard-to-obtain text. Buy it if you can find one for sale.

"WAGING CORPORATE WARFARE" the back cover to the paperback of this 1990 book announces. It's written by three people, the first of whom listed is Col. John Alexander, a man who "evolved from hard-core mercenary to thanatologist". He appeared on British TV last year on the show Visions of the Future to talk about the potential of nanotechnology to create weapons to blast holes in the blood vessels of enemy combatants. Next is a Maj. Richard Groller, a military intelligence officer who "exemplifies the modern day techno-shaman". Finally, there's Janet Morris, an author and, among other things, an initiate of "the Japanese art of bioenergetics, joh re".

I realised early on that this was going to be an unusual book. The reader is advised that in the age of human excellence, optimum performance is dawning. But what is optimum performance? The answer seems to be the utilisation of psychokinetics. Mind over matter. The authors cite a 1972 DIA report on the suspected abilities of Soviet psychics, and their powers of being able to mold the thoughts of key US and civilian leaders at a distance, to cause the instant death of any US official at a distance and the ability to disable all types of US military equipment. They don't say how the DIA came to make such an assessment, certainly in PSI: Psychic discoveries behind the Iron Curtain there is no mention of being able to kill using the mind, only the ability to cause temporary unconsciousness.

In addition to psychokinesis, the authors recommend influencing other people through body mirroring and matching the breathing pattern of the person to be manipulated. There is also talk of "reality mapping", which allows individuals "to use belief systems to chart a path through the universe."

The authors also mention a technique known as dim mak, the death touch, which apparently disrupts a person's chi/qi, causing death a few hours later. Col. Alexander, the authors say, studied under a kun tao karate practitioner who could kill a goat in 12-24 hours by dim makking it.

But why stop there? The authors also mention the potential for psychokinesis to wage cyber-warfare. In the chapter "SELF-TESTS: PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE", Col. Alexander states, "It is certainly my view that the greatest threat in the application of micro-PK is to attack computers. The systems do not need to be incapacitated; they only need to be made unreliable."

On page 102 is the comment. "For years the Western nations were perceived by the non-democratic nations as 'capitalist warmongers'". The authors don't really provide any reasons to disagree with that statement. It just seems to be the nature of the warfare that they wish to change. No mention is made of any ethical issues relating to the waging of their corporate warfare.

From an ethical standpoint, the book is a disgrace, in my opinion. However, as an insight into the development of paranormal studies behind military doors, I found it interesting.

It is an excellent book! It also arrived in very good condition as specified! I would order from the on- line- bookstore again!


Happy Customer!
