Great Remote Viewing Book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016

During the summer of 2006, I was trained by a person (ex-military) who had been a part of the Stargate project during the cold war era. He taught a group of us some of the same techniques that Joseph mentions in his book. Hand drawings, molding clay images based on sensing and other modalities were all used to correctly identify targets around the world. Most were not government sanctioned or considered to be official targets by any means but, as a group of around 20 people, we were able to identify locations through commonly recognized images, thoughts, smells, temperatures, tastes, sounds, etc. Josephs book is well written and most assuredly based on actual experiences. One special note: When RVing is used to attain higher truths, rescues and other humanitarian interests, all went well. I would caution anyone going into this thinking that they would be able to use these techniques for personal gain .

Clear and concise but missing the punchline

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2021

Joseph McMoneagale remains a stalwart bedrock of the paranormal world and the conventional ethos, this making him a unicorn. And his unique military background provides the clear backdrop so useful to explaining the murky paranormal world, and especially to the uninitiated. Yet while Remote Viewing Secrets successfully illustrates precise protocol for remote viewing, precise definitions for remote viewing and the variables involved with it, excellent academic supportive works, methodological processes for undertaking a remote viewing and careful warnings against unrealistic expectations, it fails to delve deeply into how exactly a person is to perform the remote viewing function itself. And that is disappointing.

But perhaps in his silence about the specific details of conjuring the RV function, Joseph McMoneagale once again punctuates his status as the most trustworthy authority on the subject. For how can one actually explain a function that is entirely inexplicable.

If the author is "McMoneagle", you can count on the topic of Remote Viewing being accurately and thoroughly covered in the book. This is no exception. What I learned in this book has resulted in improving my abilities as a Remote Viewer. After all, you're getting the information literally from the horse's (Eagles?) mouth. Joe was Remote Viewer #1, selected for his inherent skills, and then developed into an intelligence powerhouse.
You can't go wrong on this one.

Joe is an amazing teacher for RV

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017

I was trained by Joe as well as one other "Ft Mede connected" viewer. Joe deserves all the accolades we can put on him. If you ever get the opportunity to meet and train with Joe, jump on it. You will never regret it. This book is "Pure Joe" in terms of the style of writing. His style of doing RV is phenomenal to say the least.

Jam Packed With Practical Information

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2002

Personally I feel incredibly lucky to have found this book. If you are on a quest in your life, to discover who you are and what you can do, there are certain things that will resonate with you at milestones on your journey. This book contains a great deal of straightforward information and advice to those who have experienced, would like to experience, or are interested in knowing more about remote viewing.
Remote viewing is different from almost any of the other "psychic phenomena" out there. (Personally I disdain the word "psychic", but alas the alternative words are often worse). There seems to be a natural, innate ability in most people to spontaneously form feelings and images with respect to never-before-seen targets. Of course this talent varies, but at least it's a lot easier than bending spoons or levitating saltshakers.
About 15 years ago I read a book by Russell Targ and Keith Harary called "The Mind Race" which discussed the remote viewing work being done at SRI (Stanford Research Institute). The book went into a great deal of detail about how the experiments were set up and carried out. These protocols, it turns out, are the second ingredient that sets remote viewing apart. Not only is it do-able by most of us, but it can actually be done with some degree of scientific method (which to the general public means integrity).
Contrast this with dowsing, for example. Dowsing does work, but spending several years around the dowsing community while trying to maintain some semblance of objectivity will reveal a general propensity for self-delusion among its practitioners. This is not to say they're trying to defraud anyone - most are very sincere people - it's more likely that without the proper controls it's just too easy to fool yourself.
That is what happens when there are not stringent protocols applied to the methods. The desire for success begins to corrupt the whole process. The wonderful thing about remote viewing experiments constrained by protocols is that they produce RESULTS THAT ARE MEASURABLE. This, in turn, yields a validation of the entire process and its participants. Not to say that it doesn't have its share of detractors.
I personally think that we have not even scratched the surface of RV. Human consciousness is dependent on belief systems (believing is seeing), and I think that the methods and protocols employed in RV are going to allow it to break through a critical barrier that will encourage newcomers to look forward towards fantastic possibilities, as opposed to constantly checking over their shoulders for the Reality Police. No matter how much of an independent spirit someone may be, one can tread water only so long in the Sea of Uncertainty.
Mr. McMoneagle suggests considering the journey into RV as stages of martial arts training, and espouses the values of Zen discipline. It is said that one cannot understand Zen without taking up one of the Zen arts as a vehicle for attaining wisdom. RV could be such an art, creating a two-way street of advancement in both the art of RV and the path to enlightenment.
In light of this, may I recommend two excellent texts:
"Zen In The Art Of Archery" by Eugen Herrigel, and
"The Unfettered Mind: Writings of the Zen Master to the Sword Master" by Takuan Soho
To speculate on how imaging might work and how all things are connected (and just plain fun to read):
"The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot
Also, to speed-dial your ability to focus and visualize, attending a Silva Mind Control seminar might prove incredibly valuable. One weekend at the Basic will teach you a lifetime's worth of skills. I took the seminars way back when Jose Silva was still teaching some of them himself, so I don't know whether they're still available. You can't really learn the subtleties of the self-hypnosis and mental projection skills from the books, though they're better than nothing.
Best of luck to you!

The ABC's of Remote Viewing

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2004

Verified Purchase

If you are interested in the nuts and bolts of remote viewing you need to read this book. It contains a huge amount of information on the protocols and procedures necessary for "successful" remote viewing sessions. While McMoneagle doesn't actually tell the reader how to do remote viewing, his breadth of experience is apparent in this detailed tome. Both beginning and experienced remote viewers will find useful tidbits and, indeed, "secrets" of the trade within these chapters. Everything from the selection of targets to the effects of sidereal time on viewing performance are covered here. Of course, every viewer, government-trained or otherwise, has their particular biases and superstitions about the "right" way to do remote viewing and McMoneagle is no exception. But given his lengthly experience and proven track record in so many scientific and televised demonstrations, it would be wise for viewers and intuitives of all persuasions to take heed and give his perspectives and suggestions some serious consideration. (Dr. Simeon Hein is the author of Opening Minds: A Journey of Extraordinary Encounters, Crop Circles, and Resonance (Mount Baldy Press, Inc., 2002).)
