Like a moth drawn towards flame, Smith journeys towards understanding her out-of-body experiences, establishing remote viewing as a legitimate field. -- The Intuitive-Connections Network, 2005

Product Description

As a child, the author believed that everyone shared her psychic abilities. As an adult, she realized that her abilities were special, and became first a participant in and later a researcher of psychic functioning. In Remote Perceptions, she explores past, remote viewing, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), the psychic spying of international intelligence agencies, and the possible future of psychic research.

Detailing her own experiences and development as a psychic, the author shares the ups and downs of her growth and ponders the future of humankind as we learn to use our abilities to the fullest. A comprehensive introduction to the current state of psychic functioning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Broad-based, easy read from an insider, July 18, 2001

By	"pegasusdba1" (NC USA) - See all my reviews

.... ...this book, which I just finished this evening, held my interest throughout. I start many books and finish only a few. The main insight gained from her book was the relationships between remote viewing, OBE and Astral Projection. It seems that these psi activities are on the same continuum; that one interested in proving the reality of it will retain the consious mind and use RV, one wanting to explore the physical will use imagery and other techniques to induce an OBE, and those of us that want a mystical, spiritual, ecstatic experience will pursue AP.

Some of the chapters, particularly later in the book, do seem a bit choppy; but they are informative and provide a very good bibliography.

5.0 out of 5 stars A history of research, July 19, 2000

By	Vincent J. Lasorso (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book in preparation for interviewing Ms. Smith on Talkcity.com about this book. I found the book to be an excellent discription of the research process that has gone on in the past twenty years. She also updates the jargon of the profession. Remote perceptions is a nice term to describe the variety of experiences that extend our consciousness beyond our normal locale. I found her explantions to be accurate. The follow-up interveiw also revealed she is authentic.

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor choice., March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This book was confusing, tangential, and disorganized. If you really want to understand Remote Viewing, read Joe McMoneagle's books. If you want OBE experiences, read Robert Monroe's. If you want practical OBE techniques, read Bob Perterson's book. If you want to be blown away with the possibilities of altered state exploration, read Bruce Moen's books or Rosalind McKnight's (wow!). I read the whole blasted book because Hampton Roads Publishing Co, published it (they usually do wonderful books)! It wasn't the money I wasted on this book that I regret, it was the time.
