Amazon.com Review
From one of the actual participants in the U.S. government's remote-viewing program comes the definitive work on remote viewing. Avoiding the snare of becoming a neo-Nostradamian prophecy, Mind Trek is a nuts-and-bolts approach to an ability that Joseph McMoneagle considers to be inherent in all human beings. There are no CIA secrets revealed in Mind Trek, but it does disclose the laboratory methods employed during U.S. government research into the field, stressing protocols that insure the veracity of results. The case it makes for the reality of remote viewing is strong. Without falling into the doomsday-prophecy trap, McMoneagle takes a step beyond the laboratory and what viewers can find over the physical horizon, exploring the implications of this ability that allows us to see to the farthest distances, even across time into our past and our future. --Brian Patterson

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Trek, June 15, 2000

By	seeker "tink-im" (cincinnati, ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This book is THE BOOK on remote viewing in my opinion. The author in his humble way, explains step by step what remote viewing is about and how to actually do it. I tried to experiement with his techniques and got very good at doing remote diagnosing for my patients. It works! I enjoyed the style, honesty, facts, and how to of this book. I recommend it highly as a good read, and great referrence for those who are interested in non-local realities. Thanks :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant read that covers a lot of important territory., August 10, 1998

By A Customer

A lot of people write books about psychic functioning, remote viewing, and related topics. McMoneagle is one of the few with the hard credentials to stand up to the toughest critics.

One of the founders of the US Gov't "psychic spying" intelligence unit, the only individual in the gov't program from its inception to its termination, one of the rare handful of people to specialize in both intelligence psi data collection and scientific research, McMoneagle has demonstrated his RV abilities live before congress, in intelligence, in the lab, and on national television (some in the USA, mostly in the UK). He's the only known soldier to win a Legion of Merit (the highest award an intell agent can win during peacetime) for psi work.

If you read Jim Schnabel's "Remote Viewers..." you may end up feeling like it is a Joe-the-Hero book -- most of the amazing tales, feats of glory, and opportunities to brag in this field come directly from the archives ! of Joe's personal sessions.

So, it's pretty interesting to hear it from Joe's point of view. MIND TREK was originally released in 1993 -- two years before the US Gov't program was declassified -- back when few had heard of the subject. When the CIA declassified the program and it got tremendous publicity in late 1995, sales skyrocketed. In 1997 a second edition of MIND TREK was printed, with the small addition of a couple of chapters on RV myths and the STAR GATE program. (As another Amazon reviewer noted, other than these two chapters and a couple minor details, there is no real difference between the first and second editions.)

The book MIND TREK is mostly the story of a slice of Joe's life. Beginning in 1970 when he was in the Army overseas, when a "Near-Death Experience" (NDE) radically changed his perception, the book chronicles his learning to remote view, his work with the late Bob Monroe on out-of-body experiences (OBE), some of the more interesting R! V targets he's been assigned, and things he's learned along! the way.

Down to earth like he is, it's a good read. I found the intro and first chapter a bit long, subjectively, but from Chapter 2 on I was engrossed and couldn't put it down.

Along the way, the book provides advice from an expert for people working to learn RV on their own, info about practicing and targets and proper protocol that is basic, but critical, to the official process of remote viewing.

As a reader, I really enjoyed the book.

As one struggling to work on psi abilities myself, I've found over time that it contains a lot more great advice than I realized on the first read-through.

I recommend it to anybody interested in these subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are comfortable with your current reality DO NOT READ, April 18, 2000

By A Customer

I have read a lot on the subject of remote viewing, and until I read Joe's book I didn't think I was capable of actually doing it. The book has just the right balance of history, entertainment, and instruction to make you not want to put it down. Why spend thousands of dollars on instruction when everything you need is right here? Read it once, read it twice, then go out and do it! Only Joe has the integrity to sell you a book for under $15 postpaid when many are charging thousands for instruction that does not measure up to their claims.

As a student of philosophy, this book changed the way I view reality. When your reality is shaken like that many people become vulnerable to cults, which for me would be a definite worry if I learned from an instructor, rather than a book. This is a powerful skill and such power is often abused when in the wrong hands. Proceed with caution and don't become a victim, get the book!
