Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Tom Clancy meets the Psychic Friends Network in this almost plausible primer on the history, theory and practice of paranormal intelligence gathering. The author is a veteran of the Army-CIA Project STAR GATE psychic espionage unit, where he specialized in a form of ESP known as "controlled remote viewing," whose practitioners can supposedly see events from a distance in time and space. His feats, he claims, included reading Saddam's mind during the Gulf War, divining the health and prospects of the American hostages in Iran, predicting the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and remotely viewing the surface of Mars; he even wonders whether he didn't have something to do with the fall of communism. Project STAR GATE really did exist, and Buchanan's low-key tone, full of military jargon and acronyms, detailed protocols and much griping about army red tape, lends credibility to his account of life as a GI clairvoyant. Himself the head of a psychic training and consulting firm, he insists that remote viewing is both a "martial art" to be mastered through training and rote drill, and an "application-oriented science" for use in "police work, medical diagnostics and business," rather than the romantic and familial fortune-telling that is the bread and butter of the psychic industry. Skeptics will vigorously dispute Buchanan's claims for the efficacy of remote viewing, but true believers in search of government certification for their views will be greatly reassured by this odd and interesting book.

From Booklist
The more you read, the more you wonder if this expose is really a put-on. But, finally, the author, at least, seems to believe what he is saying--which is that, for the last quarter century, the U.S. military has been training personnel to provide intelligence through psychic means. Buchanan claims to have been one of the best of the government's "remote viewers." He even suggests that through subliminal messaging, he may have been partly responsible for Mikhail Gorbachev's dismantling of communism! Naturally, this is all pretty interesting stuff, and even though the organization is muddled, and the discourse tends to the paranoid, the book is temptingly wide ranging, covering everything from Buchanan's various assignments (Iranian hostage situation, Desert Storm) to how to develop one's own "seventh sense." Even though Buchanan makes it clear that this is not a "how-to," he does introduce the principles on which remote viewing is based. Whether it's the new frontier or simply far-fetched, there is no doubt that remote viewing is a hot topic in the making. Ilene Cooper

Excellent Must Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the U.S. Military (Paperback)
Buchanan's top-notch book provides some history of controlled remote viewing from his viewpoint as the trainer for the army unit. Remote viewing has become a buzzword with New Agers, psychics, and he wants the world to be educated in the structured and technical aspects of CRV, plus the benefits to those whose safety relies on intuition such as police officers.Also included in the book are excellent exercizes which will make you become more aware of your surroundings. He happens to be a very good trainer which I can attest to, having been a recent student of his. You will not regret buying his book.

Psychic Secrets of Military Intelligence,

This review is from: The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the U.S. Military (Paperback)
Want to know what's possible with a trained mind? Want to know what's actually been done psychically by someone who's done it? Want to know where people go when they die by someone who has gone with them? Two of the four places they go may surprise you.I spent a couple of fascinated hours reading about Controlled Remove Viewing. And, I have practiced a few of the exercises. They certainly improve environmental awareness. And I learned a great deal about famous people.

This review is from: The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the U.S. Military (Paperback)
You're going to love this book. My favorite nugget was where he describes sending (beaming, whatever) Gorby thoughts on ending Communism. Next thing you know they're knocking down the Berlin Wall...That he was a part of this project with the U.S. Army is not in question. That this stuff actually works, well, that's something else entirely. Funny thing about these ex-project guys - they're all trying to cash in using a failed program to give them credibility. Rather than taking money from the foil-lined hat crowd with seminars, courses, and books, why not locate Osama and pocket some real coin?
