Allison DuBois invites us into her world where she delivers messages from our lost loved ones. She convinces us that those who have passed away are constantly with us, providing comfort, love, and support. They are as eager to reach us as we are to stay connected with them.
But the dead have a language of their own. They communicate through signs, dreams, songs, coincidences, and messages delivered in unexpected ways. Allison takes us on an odyssey of these signs — how to recognise them, how to read them, and how to interpret them. In these pages, you will meet people who have had both heartbreaking and heartwarming communication with the other side, providing comforting proof that our deceased loved ones stay with us and continue to share in the joys of our lives.
Within each of us is the voice of an inner teacher-guardian that is our link to the unseen world of Soul. Its purpose is to guide and protect us. It allows us an “all-access pass” to the vast arena of Divine intelligence, potential, and power. It is called intuition. We all have it, yet sadly, most people are disconnected from it.
Using her own turbulent yet remarkable life as a narrative, along with fascinating stories from her clients, internationally renowned intuitive counselor
Colette-Baron Reid shares the deeply moving and amazing story of her journey to finally accepting, and exulting in, her extraordinary gift of intuition and foresight, which had been thirsting to be heard since she was a young child.
Over the past 17 years, Colette has amassed an international client base that spans 29 countries, while offering astonishing personal insights that many consider miraculous. She now openly and generously shares that journey in Remembering the Future, which will not only leave you filled with hope and empowerment, but will guide you in rediscovering your magical gift of intuition.
By following Colette’s Seven Spiritual Keys, you’ll experience a consciously fulfilling, creative life, filled with profound harmony and opportunity. And most important, you’ll know who you really are. . . .
Honest, Heartfelt, Timeless.......2007-07-31All of these adjectives describe Colette Baron-Reids candid, heartwarming book Remembering the Future: The Path to Recovering Intuition.
Colette tackles the slippery job of detailing some heady, gossamer-type topics with casual aplomb, and girl-next-door humor.
She has an inviting voice that encourages both greenhorn and veteran intuitives to venture out into new horizons of perspectives within the field of soul-perception.
I gather that one of Colette's objectives in writing this book was to restore the arena of psychic ability/intuitive strengths back to its original organic grace. She has succeeded remarkably in achieving this goal.
It takes guts to be as candid as she has been in the telling of her journey - kudos Colette, for expressing yourself with class and for your contribution to de-mystifying a much misunderstood arena.
"Awakening Intuition".......2007-07-25
Colette shares her experiences that led to her surrendering to what she already knew to be true. She was blessed with the gift of intuition, and her service was to accept it and share it. The first part of the book is her story. I enjoyed reading her story, it's really interesting. Just because she's intuitive (she prefers not to be labeled psychic because of the stigma that goes along with it.)doesn't mean that she's had things easy. There were plenty of times when her intuition was blocked and she experienced some painful events. She talks about how it left her and when it returned. And, being ituitive never guaranteed that she'd always make the right choices.
The second part of the book is about unblocking (recovering) your intuition. The remaining chapters are on 'The Seven Spiritual Keys' -advice and excercises you can do to put yourself in a better position to access/ recover your intuition. This section of the book is what I'll be re-reading and studying. I found so much good information here, not just about how to be more intuitive, but how to be more spiritual which seems to automatically strengthen your intuition.
Colette says that intuition is "a natural sixth sense that is bestowed on everyone -Without exception." It's just that we're all at very different levels with it. She likens it to her being in the olympic category. (While I think most of all the rest of us are somewhere around the high school gym level.)
I learned a lot from this book, and am looking forward to studying/ excercising the seven spiritual keys.

Help for the bereaved.......2007-10-13
For those who are skeptical about life after death or heaven/god, this book is probably only going to annoy you. For those seeking some comfort for a loss, this is probably a very good book for you.
I've been a nurse since "Moses" and have worked in ICU, the ICU float pool, and PACU in a university hospital for most of that time. I finally had to stop doing it, because I found that I had exhausted my capacity to deal with the dying. I love equipment, drips, and the complexity of the patient with multi-system failure. The intellectual challenge of navigating a patient's course through the tumult is--or was--very satisfying for me; sort of a tug of war, with me pulling in one direction and god in the other. I can honestly say that in all my years of practice, I could count on the fingers of one hand with fingers to spare the number of patients I've "lost" who didn't have a doctor's order permitting it. Even with children, I could handle the concept of death. A child is a human being like other human beings afterall, and human beings die; therefore children also die. What I couldn't handle--and why I finally quit doing such intensive work--was the emotional "dying" of the family at the bedside of their loved one. When the patient died, the pain and suffering was over. For the family, it was just beginning. There was so little I could do for their anguish; no magic words that would provide real comfort. Sometimes all I could do was cry along with them.
Mr. Edward offers some real comfort to real people. Say what you will about spirits, heaven, god, etc. I figure if I can believe in the things that theoretical physicists tell us may be true of reality, which I do, than what's so difficult about god? If one were to apply Occam's Razor to both, god would win hands down! But it doesn't really matter. It's the comfort that's provided the family of the deceased that matters. Not everyone is up for this type of comfort, admittedly, and those that aren't will have to chart their own course to the shores of meaningfulness. At least for those that do believe, he provides a service. From what little I know of him, while he benefits financially from his work as does any service industry individual, he is not taking advantage of anyone. I feel he is sincere in what he undertakes, and that's what is most important to me. There are many ghosts wandering the dark corridors of my mind, but they're not the ghosts of the dead. They're those of the living, and I can hear their questions echoing in my head: "why my son," "why my wife," "what did my mother ever do to deserve this?" As a health professional, I can do little to help people who have lost a loved one; if Mr. Edward can, and the book suggests he can and does, then more power to him.
I loved this book!.......2007-02-05
John Edward talks about his gift in a very down to earth manner. I love the topic and I loved this book!
Lots of great transcripts.......2006-12-26
John's book is written as a collection of transcripts from various places and times in the
John - .."
Client- .."
John - .."
format, and as you read through them you glean all manner of answers from the afterlife. If you're reading them in conjunction with current research on past life therapy, life between lives regression, and even ancient writings, the cases that John presents support the theory of the immortal soul, Karma and pre-destiny for soul growth. Otherwise, if you're reading John Edwards for comfort and reassurance that the soul personality exists indefinitely and stays in contact with this human existence, his case studies more than satisfy. Read Gordon Jones and Michael Newton as well and they'll change the way you view death and the afterlife.
VERY TOUCHING!.......2006-09-14
I believe in psychics as I have psychic dreams of what I am going to see or hear the next day myself. The one story that got me was the story of the Dad astronaut and the child waving good-bye as he blasted off into space. I won't give out anymore details, but buy it and see for yourself. It was tear jerking. All of his books are worth reading, even though this is my first one and his audio CDs are worth getting too.
A Big Growth for John & the Readers.......2006-08-29
After I recently read After Life, I am immensely moved by the last chapter Papa, Can You Hear Me?. It must have taken John a lot of courage to open up and tell a true story about himself and his father.
John frankly stated that it was hard to mend the relationship. For some people, they probably would cover things up and just colorfully paint the difficult relationship: After all, their fathers are dead, and nobody can refute with them. Instead, John chooses to honestly recount the relationship. The readers therefore can see his struggle as well as his father's.
Then we can also read John's interpretation of the good-bye from his father. We can understand that so far the way he handled the issue is the best he can do under his own frustration. He does not dwell on the past, and he does not dream about something useless.
Apparently becoming a father changed John's view on life, because in the book I see the humble wisdom replacing the young cockiness. In this book John grew into a humble father who had experienced the toughest struggle. Now he rises as a true phoenix after bravely consuming the old him. John displays real confidence thanks to the self-examination rather than naïve blindness.
I appreciate his growth.

A MUST READ !!!!.......2007-06-24
Once I started, I couldn't put the book down. I was intrigued, amazed, moved to tears, and I truly believe Terry and Linda have helped take me to a new level of consciousness.
Separated at Earth.......2007-05-13
Love these women and their book. The book talks about their growing up and their life's work that is so unusual. Book was really interesting if you are into channeling and predicting future events.
Separated at Earth.......2007-04-05
I enjoyed reading the book. It is well written and held my interest. I did hope to read more about being of one spirt and the separation process. Maybe their next book!
Rather interesting.......2007-03-31
It was a good biography of the twins life, but I would rather they focused more on the psychic elements......Took quite a while into the book before they started to do that.
EXCELLENT ENTERTAINING READING..........2007-03-09
This was a wonderful book to read and I so enjoyed the candid stories of the Psychic Twins. You feel as if you are living their experiences and you find yourself entertained between the pages of their truths. Sharing themselves honestly throughout the book, you get a sense of their compassion and talents which they use with sincerity to help humanity. A must read for anyone who wishes to enjoy a excellent entertaining story.
Book Description
This is the complete, original biography of the best-documented psychic in America. It tells the story of how Edgar Cayce discovered his astounding psychic gifts and what led him to a life dedicated to helping others. Cayce's "readings," given in a trancelike state, ranged from phenomenal medical cures to advice on spiritual growth, psychology, and the prophesy of world events. A philosophy section outlines Cayce's revelations about our origin, purpose, and destinies on the earth, making this book a valuable resource. This book contains many photos of Edgar Cayce, his family, and close friends.
This special edition features Auras, the only book written by Edgar Cayce himself.
Customer Reviews:
wonderful!.......2007-04-13
If you've ever wondered "Who is Edgar Cayce?", then I suggest in reading this book! It is the story of Edgars' life from his beginings. I learned so much, infact he is the real deal. Edgar was leery of his ability to "see into the unseen" and worried if possibly his gift was not a gift at all but a tool of the devil ment for evil purposes. It wasn't till he knew for a fact that his "gift" was helping people all over the world that he felt comfortable and ready to give with out reservations.
Also it's easy reading except I had a hard time understanding the "readings" and would have to re read them. Other wise, Easy enjoyable reading.
More like a novel.......2006-12-20
It would be wonderful, if what Mr. Cayce realized, were the truth. As to the book, it isn't bad. It reads more like a novel, than like a biography. A little slow of a read but then most biographies are. I like the fact it did not embellish the character. It seemed to tell the facts the way they were. Probably not the end all of Mr. Cayce resources, but overall a good book.
A decent book about an interesting man.......2006-04-07
I had heard of Edgar Cayce before, mainly because I shelved so many books by or about him in my years as a bookseller. It was only recently, though, as I was browsing through one of the Stranger than... books by the late Frank Edwards that I came across a brief biography of Edgar Cayce and learned more about his mysterious diagnoses given while unconscious. I remembered that I had this book, one of the Time-Life Collector's Library of the Unknown reprints, on my shelf and so I dug in.
For the most part, the prose was easy to read and written in a straightforward, familiar style, so that I felt like I was seeing the events of Cayce's life as they happened. The book begins like a normal biography, discussing early romances, jobs, family incidents, etc., with very little to indicate how strange Mr. Cayce's life would become. Around 1/3 of the way through the book, we discover, along with young Edgar, that he can memorize written materials just by sleeping on them. He also discovers that he has miraculous powers to diagnose illnesses and prescribe cures for people he has never met, all while unconscious. (In his waking life, Mr. Cayce was very modestly educated, and was as surprised as anyone at the ideas and language that came from his unconscious form.) The way that this section of the book reads, you would imagine that Cayce's cures were always successful and that skeptics were fools.
The book begins to drag after the second half, though, for a variety of reasons. First, Cayce could never actually put his powers to any real end. Every attempt to establish a multidisciplinary hospital to implement and research his unconscious revelations, as was his dream, came to an unsuccessful conclusion. This is fairly anticlimactic and does not make for a very "heroic" story. Second, one of his benefactors, a man quite interested in matters occult, began to ask Cayce more arcane questions, and so the revelations began to drift into, to me, less interesting areas-the typical new age stuff about Atlantis, reincarnation, soul mates, etc. Finally, it became more apparent to me, based on the later, more thoroughly documented cases, that Cayce's "miraculous" cures might not have been as amazing as they seemed in the earlier chapters; the earlier cures seemed more amazing simply because the way in which they were recorded and related was more "oh gosh" and less stringent. (In other words, as he gets older and more jaded, even his cures seem less special and miraculous. Maybe this was the writer's intention.)
The conclusion of the book was, for me, the worst part. It is divided into two appendix-like sections. In the first section, the author tries to systematically describe Cayce's philosophy. Boring. Too much like the Ascended Master stuff that I find hard to swallow. Maybe it is true. Maybe not. Whenever I read this stuff, I just get the feeling that I am listening to some pedantic, New England minister lecturing on matters that were expressed much more interestingly 2,000 years ago by Hindus and Buddhists. The second section in the conclusion recounts six case studies from the Cayce files, and these are interesting only for those who want to see how difficult to understand Cayce's medical diagnoses could be, due to the odd structure of his language and the outdated medical terminology.
It was a quick read, except for those two concluding sections, so if you are at all interested, I highly recommend reading it. As for what it means, though, I really have no clue. And I don't plan on re-reading it to find out, though the pretty Time-Life book will remain on my shelf as decoration.
The Story of Edgar Cayce: There Is A River.......2005-09-30
This book adds to the wonders that can be achieved with dedication
to the life's guide lines laid down in the Bible and survival after death studies
An eye-opener.......2005-07-23
For those with strong religious faith, but no sort of flexibility, don't buy this book. However, if you are open to suggestion and the possibility that you don't have all the answers, then this is a must read.
A devoted Christian his entire life, Edgar Cayce's life story challenges what many claim to be the "truth" or the "meaning". Cayce's faith was never in question - he read the Bible one time for each year of his life by the time he was 13. His readings on the other hand, challenged even his convictions, forcing him to open his mind, body, and soul to the possibilities that he once thought foreign and possibly blasphemous.
While many of his stories about growing up are on the boring side, and very slow reading, the information sprinkled in his biography about where his talent comes from is interesting. His talents produced results that many attempted to disprove, but the facts always sided with Cayce.
If you believe that humankind is capable of more than the simplicity of thought that we consider intelligent by today's standards, read Cayce's story.
If you believe that there are many unanswered questions that science can't necessarily answer, read the book.
The book is easily worth the price and the read for the end alone. After the biography there is a brief section that deals with the aspect many are amazed by: the supernatural. The tidbits of his thoughts and readings in relation to after-life, the beginning of time, religion, and various other deeply philosophical questions...are words I will never forget.

Sonia Choquette discovered her psychic abilities as a young child. Gifted from birth, she was able to see beyond the veil of the inner workings of her family members', friends', and neighbors' lives. While still a teenager, she began to give readings, amazing her clients with her psychic insights.

With the help of a group of spiritual guides who have been working with her since childhood, and combining this support with metaphysical law, Sonia developed the ability to see the soul plan that each of us is born with. It became her mission to put her clients' lives back on track, steering them through the tricky waters of romance, divorce, illness, high finance, sickness, and death. She became a soul guide for "happy endings."
A teacher, an author, and a storyteller, as well as a gifted psychic, Sonia Choquette is in international demand for her guidance, wisdom, and capacity to heal the soul.

Totally Disappointed. .......2007-10-16
I hoped this would be a great book that I could share with nonbelievers and have them learn about this phnenomenen. Sadly this book probably ranks as the poorest non-fiction I have ever tried to read. The authoress talks so much about herself that the book became unendurable. It is poorly written and boring. I could not even finish it and that is rare for me! My thought would be to save your money, as I wish I had done with mine!Diary of a Psychic
diary of a psychic.......2007-08-27
wonderful story told with style. Couldn't put it down. I want to read everything written by this charming woman.
If You Like Your Psychics to be "Full of Themselves".......2007-08-18
I just finished reading this book while on a very relaxing vacation in the mountains, and so I think my view is quite clear of negative associations. First, I think that many of Ms. Choquette's memories of her readings and experiences from 30+ years ago are quite "colorful." We'd all like to remember our lives as being so, however, I think that her writing style is quite contrived. And, when she said she had been a student of Jesus Christ himself, I became extremely turned off. Wow, what a totem. . . Her description of herself at her maturity (when she felt she had become a "woman" in the sense of being comfortable with herself) is that she physically resembled Audrey Hepburn. Hmmm. I think we do boast too much. I am happy that she is so successful in her chosen field, but a true psychic would never be so haughty about her abilities. It's just an observation. This is the second of her books I have purchased. I am not sure if I will do so in the future.
She claims Christ taught her to be psychic.......2007-03-16
In this book, in print, Sonia Choquette claims that in a past life it was Jesus Christ himself that taught her to psychic. WOW ... that is quite the claim. In a more recent book (Ask Your Guides) Sonia claims to have also been an Essene (an ancient Jewish order during the time of Christ) ... so I wonder if she left the Essenes to be a early Christian or if she was an Essence shortly after Moses had died after wondering 40 years in the desert in search of the promised land of milk and honey. This made sense to me until she said on a [...] conference call and I believe on Hay House radio "Trust Your Vibes" that another psychic told her she was a rock star on Saturn in another life or in a co-existing parallel universe reality. This was when I got a tad confused. By the way, the broadcast of this claim was recorded and is available for those who need physical evidence.
This diary provides a portal into a life of a one who was nurtured in their gift. The spiritual gift of prophecy and healing are real and according to the Holy Bible are granted by the Holy Spirit and meant to raise the Church. Such references from Scripture are in the New Testament. Sonia is sharing a way of life that can help people be in the flow of spirit. She is also doing a service in being a guide to those who are unable to fully trust their inner wisdom. In this respect, Diary of a Psychic is a very helpful and assuring book for those who do see and must learn to trust.
However, Choquette makes more than one reference to her being Catholic. Given that she studied religion at the University of Denver (she dropped out to become a flight attendant) and Metaphysics at the unaccredited American Institute of Holistic Theology in Alabama, it is with a certain discernment that I do have to mention with respect to her spiritual ideology. The Catholic Church, at least the Roman side of the hierarchy, discourages consultation with seers and instead tells us to seek true ministers of God. My argument is ... Choquette's spiritual worldview is unclear to me but I do know that divination systems such as decks, clairvoyance, and other means of precognition are clearly and nearly forbidden by the Catholic church (not that they are always right) but you can't claim Catholic and Christian then worship idols at the same time. Black and white thinking I may be guilty of but my intention is to simply suggest to readers to practice discernment with Sonia's words. She is world-renowwend and famous ... but so too is fellow Hay House authors Sylvia Browne and Doreen Virtue.
One more point: In all things ... seek your own wise counsel. Read Diary of a Psychic if you need to know that you are not alone because you see. But remember, the spirit world is real, and one must always take care to consider the counsellor you listen you. Whether it is Sonia, your Parish priest, or a famous doctor. Never just blindly believe anything without discernment.
Final Thoughts on Sonia as a spiritual teacher which applies to all spirit-based teachers, and since Sonia seems to protray herself as a Christian/Catholic-Orthodox I'll use from her religious tradition:
(Sirach 37:7-9 on caution in taking advice)
All counselors praise the counsel they give
But some give counsel in their own interest
Be wary of a counselor
and learn first what is his interest
for he will take thought for himself
So ..... Sirach 37:12-15 offers this additional guidance
Instead, associate with a religious man, who you are sure keeps the commandments; Who is like-minded with yourself and will feel for you if you fall.
Then, too, heed your own heart's counsel; for what have you that you can depend on more?
A man's conscience can tell him his situation better than seven watchmen in a lofty tower.
Most important of all, pray to God to set your feet in the path of truth.
Beth R........2006-07-08
Sonia is an excellent writer, you felt as if you were right next to her as she grew both in life and her psychic developement. She helped me confirm that my guides were "really" there all of the time and gave me great comfort.
Book Description
Unwittingly plunged into a paranormal nightmare....David Morehouse-A highly decorated, exemplary Army officer, special operations infantryman, and elite Airborne Ranger Company Commander. Wounded by machine-gun fire during a training mission, Morehouse began to have inexplicable visions and haunting nighmares-an experience that would redirect his military career and land him in the government's top-secret Stargate Program. His life would never be the same....Stargate-For nearly two decades, the United States military intelligence community delved into the dark world of psychic espionage, recruiting a team of psychic spies to serve as "remote viewers," individuals who used their paranormal gifts to transcend time and space and uncover the highly guarded military secrets of other nations.Unable to tell the shocking truth for fear of death-until now....When David Morehouse walked through the doors of the Stargate Program, he had little idea what awaited him: a paranormal hell that would bring him to the front lines of some of the most horrific disasters in recent history-and nearly destroy him. In chilling detail, Morehouse describes his psychic espionage work as a remote viewer, from the shattering explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 to the choking smoke of Desert Storm, even further back in time to Hiroshima and the darkest days of Nazi Germany. And more startling yet is his account of the U.S. government, an organization bent on the destructive use of psychic powers-and on stopping the one man who was brave enough to blow the lid off their top-secret Stargate Program.
Customer Reviews:
Stargate dreaming.......2007-07-27
First up I must say if you are interested in the 'how-to' of remote viewing this is not the book for you as those details are noticeably missing from this text. We are told, for example, that while remote viewing it is possible to move the 'ethereal body' forward and backward in time and space around the viewed object, but not how that is done.
Rather than a detailed study of remote viewing this is the highly personal story of David Morehouse, an army officer who, after receiving a sever blow to the head, began experiencing visions and weird dreams. Morehouse's reaction to many of these 'communications' is very negatively emotional. In an attempt to understand and control the phenomenal he joins Sun Streak/Stargate, a secret psychic espionage program. After only 2 years there, however, he is transferred away by his army superiors who do not share his high opinion of the psychic program. The second half of the book deals with Morehouse's struggle to reveal remote viewing to the world and the intelligence community's attempts to stop him.
What is clear from the book is that Morehouse is a total believer in remote viewing. For just about the entire book he gives an emotional response to the phenomena, but virtually no objective analysis of its' validity. The book covers some way-out-there topics including, angels, demons, spirits of the dead, viewing alien life, and viewing the Arc of the Covenant. I couldn't help wondering if Morehouse was just projecting the contents of his consciousness, especially as he openly admits he is religious and also because he is so powerfully emotive. I would have preferred a much more scientific approach with perhaps a dose of healthy skepticism.
I have give the book 4 stars as it is entertaining and very readable, but perhaps I have been a bit overgenerous considering the lack of objectivity.
Pure egotistical, twisted accounts of the truth........2007-04-06
This book is exactly that. I know Mr. Morehouse and one of the people he writes about in this book... my father, Mel Riley. All I can say is, you should read Paul Smith's accounts if you want the truth pertaining to the Stargate and RV stories. There is also a documentary, if you can find it, made be Discovery BBC called "The Real X-files" featuring a true and honest view of RV and it's history with the military and all those involved. Giving this book much more than 1 star is really admitting lack of intelligence.
Doesn't add up.......2006-10-08
This book could have been an interesting novel, but that's about it. Way too many inconsistencies...like the carbon monoxide incident. Yes, carbon monoxide is an odorless gas, but the exhaust of a "Briggs and Stratton" engine is far from odorless. The fact that his daughter suffered carbon-monoxide poisoning and was rushed to the hospital, (her lips were blue), yet the firemen allowed the rest of them to remain in the house while they "aired" it out. Six hours later (after being delayed from the hospital for an hour and a half) David went to pick up his wife and daughter...YEAH RIGHT!!! As a diesel mechanic I know all too well the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning...it takes a long time to get over it.
His whole mission was to reveal remote viewing to "save mankind", and can now be learned from him at $1,200 a class. What a humanitarian!!!
Also his mentor and good friend, Mel Riley, is working with Lyn Buchanan instead of Mr. Morehouse. In this book 5 + 5 = 12.
Secret Psychic Military Program - Remote Viewing.......2006-06-06
In one of the most explosive revelations in decades, the military's strange and top-secret program that used military personnel to spy on people by psychic "remote viewing"--former Army officer David Morehouse goes public with his book "Psychic Warrior - Inside the CIA's Stargate Program: the True Story of a Soldier's Espionage and Awaking."
The tale that Morehouse has to tell goes well beyond the normal range of what we think our military and the CIA is doing. Not only has our country been active in its research on psychic abilities--we have in fact, be been successfully getting information about people and places by the practice of something called "remote viewing" which allows our military to access any place in the world (or out of this world) by using just the mind.
This book goes into great details as to how Morehouse got himself involved in the program and how he eventually got kicked out of the Army for making it public. His personal struggles with his own mind, his family and the Army makes this story read like a sci-fi novel. This book will take the reader to a whole new world (universe) and open up many more questions about the power of the mind, what is reality and what is life.
I have only talked to David Morehouse on one occasion a couple of years ago at one of his public lectures in San Francisco, but the lecture only just added more to the mystery of this mystical life story. I highly recommend reading his book.
This book has earned the MWSA's TOP RATING - FIVE STARS
2005 Gold Medal Award for Military Non-Fiction!
Angels and Demons and BS, Oh My!.......2006-04-05
I will admit that I too read this book cover-to-cover and was intrigued by its story. The problem is, I became so engaged that I began doing subsequent research into the field of remote viewing and, appropriately enough, began to "see the truth." Psychic Warrior is a highly fictionalized, exxagerated, self-serving vehicle for its disgraced author to exploit his fleeting brush with the RV program for money.
David Morehouse had the shortest tenure of any of the Army's remote viewers who have gone on to make a living as "experts" on the technique. According to those fellow viewers, most of the "exploits" in RV that Morehouse takes credit for in this book were actually accomplished by other people. The best example is his "Mars expedition," which was in fact conducted by Joe McMoneagle. An actual transcript of Joe's session is available as a bonus with purchase of Skip Atwater's book "Captain of My Ship, Master of My Soul" and it more or less proves that Morehouse is trying to take credit for someone else's work. The Psychic Warrior book is full of events and accomplishments that Morehouse tries to take credit for, most of which actually occured when Morehouse wasn't even in the program.
In fact, most of the revered remote viewers (McMoneagle, Ingo Swann, Russell Targ, Paul Smith) seem to consider Morehouse to be the RV community's "odd man out," especially after he was forced out of the Army for having an affair with his enlisted driver's wife among other things. That part of the book is even more suspect; Morehouse continually makes excuses for himself and tries to paint himself as a victim of some sort of government plot as a result of his threat to "expose the truth" about RV, instead of taking accountability for his illegal and immoral actions.
But two facts must be considered here: First, the Army itself declassified the program and released mountains of information about it; it is highly doubtful that they would make attempts on the lives of Morehouse's entire family over something they were already planning to open the lid on. Second, practically every other significant member of both the SRI program and the military's program has gone on to write books, author instructional materials and even teach courses in remote viewing, and not a single other one has been "targeted" by higher powers as Morehouse claims to have been.
If anyone out there is interested in reading about remote viewing and its history within both the civilian science sector and the military/government, I would highly recommend that you read Paul Smith's "Reading the Enemy's Mind" instead of Morehouse's fictionalized waste of time. Smith, who acted as unit historian for the Army's program, provides an infinitely more reliable, intelligent and engaging account of the development and implementation of remote viewing. And if you would then be inclined to study the technique yourself, I would suggest you examine Skip Atwater's course at the Monroe Institute in Virginia before plunking down the $1,000 + to study with Morehouse. After all, Atwater spent years training most of the viewers in a program that Morehouse was kicked out of after only a brief time.
I wouldn't have had such a problem with Psychic Warrior if it had been marketed as a work of fiction. It is a shame that such a perversion of the truth ends up being many people's initial introduction to something as significant to humankind as remote viewing.
Book Description
The story of John Chang, the first man to be documented performing pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and other paranormal abilities.
• The author, a mechanical engineer, provides scientific explanations of how these powers work.
• For the first time, the discipline of Mo-Pai is introduced to the West.
In 1988 the documentary Ring of Fire was released to great acclaim. The most startling sequence in the film is that of a Chinese-Javanese acupuncturist who demonstrates his full mastery of the phenomenon of chi, or bio-energy, by generating an electrical current within his body, which he uses first to heal the filmmaker of an eye infection and then to set a newspaper on fire with his hand. Ring of Fire caused thousands to seek out this individual, John Chang, in pursuit of instruction. Of the many Westerners who have approached him, John Chang has accepted five as apprentices. Kosta Danaos is the second of those five.
In his years of study with John Chang, Danaos has witnessed and experienced pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and much more exotic phenomena. He has spoken with spirits and learned the secrets of reincarnation. Most important, he has learned John Chang's story. John Chang is the direct heir to the lineage of the sixth-century b.c. sage Mo-Tzu, who was Confucius's greatest rival. His discipline, called the Mo-Pai, is little-known in the West and has never before been the subject of a book. Now, John Chang has decided to bridge the gap between East and West by allowing a book to be published revealing the story of his life, his teachings, and his powers. It will surely expedite what may well become the greatest revolution of the twenty-first century--the verification and study of bio-energy.

Mindblowing.......2006-10-23
This book blew me away. It's the incredible tale of John Chang, a internal arts master, as told by one his students. As the author is a former scientist, everything is presented in an objective, responsible, almost skeptical manner. Too often we forget what we're capable of and what the universe can offer us, with the right intent and commitment. This book is a great reminder.
Excellent read.......2006-10-22
Fascinating look into a nei kung practitioner's life. Danaos has a tremendous knack for descriptive storytelling and provides much information via [Sifu] John Chang regarding the inner workings of metaphysics and the fabled chi energy. However I question (and this may be a slightly cynical side of me) how the author managed to recall (or even take notes on) the numerous conversations he had with Chang so accurately. Either he has a near-Elephantine memory, or he was embellishing many experiences and details- and if the latter occurred it questions his credibility. It should never be underestimated writers' ability to overdramatize (and perhaps outright BS) for the sake of a more interesting book, and although there is no proof of this here, I think it's a valid question esp. given the subject matter (psychic abilities and the like) which has long been associated with unscrupulous individuals. Danaos either took phenomenal practically word-for-word notes of conversations, or he fudged here and there which calls into question the witnessed telekinesis, levitation, etc.
All this being said- whether the book represents the unblemished truth, imaginative fictions or a combination of both, it's a fascinating read as it gives a close and detailed look into the life, philosophies and workings of a truly remarkable man. Students of metaphysics, spirituality, psychic phenomena, paranormal and the mental/spiritual aspects of martial arts should find this a must-read.
Best Book I've Ever Read.......2006-07-11
This book is a must for anyone who is interested in Qi-Gong, Nei Kung, or Taoism and is also highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good story. Each chapter is split up into a narrative section(s), and an educational section(s).
This is a true story about the author's (Kosta Danaos) first couple of years under the tutelage of John Chang, an authentic taoist master. John has gained amazing powers through meditation and an art called Nei Kung. Some of these powers (healing, telekenesis, levitation, etc.) are demonstrated and explained throughout the book. Also, because Nei Kung uses a level system, the first few levels are also explained (unfortunately, you are not instructed on how to obtain said levels and any instruction mentioned is very vague).
The educational section(s) of each chapter simply explains and gives background on what's being discussed in the narrative section, making this an easier read for people who don't have extensive knowledge on Qi Gong or Taoism. Also, there are two appendices. One contains more explanation, background, and history on Taoism, Qi, Qi Gong, and Nei Kung, while the other, entitled "Observations and Speculation", contains, well, observations and speculation.
The only downfall to this book is that in two of the final chapters, "Epilogue" and "Appendix Two: Observations and Speculation", the author (Kosta Danaos) gets a little too "all over the place". It's as if he just wrote down every thought that came to mind (though I'm sure that's not what happened). This made these chapters feel more like a journal entry than a chapter in a book, they weren't really consistent with the rest of the book. However, this is a small price to pay for such a good read.
Definitely pick this one up.
No teachings to be found in this book, bad title........2006-01-08
I read this book twice. The second time with a highlighter. I found only about one page of actual teachings on how one can gain the abilities that he says his teacher has. His second book is even worse, it just repeats what is in this book.
Don't get me wrong I have studied the internal arts for years now and I truly believe that what he says his teacher can do can be done. But this is not the book to learn them from. He even says at one point that he does not give the instruction for fear of these powers falling into the wrong hand. Frankly the largest failing of this book is that it is very poorly written.
Honestly don't bother, read instead "The Magus of Strovolos" a much better book.
masters do exist.......2005-10-13
I have never met this guy but I have met a master with abilities that I only thought were written about in book. If anyone is interested this master still teaches in the US and can be found at emeiqigong.com. If you dont believe you will after training with the master, thats at least how it happened for me.
Book Description
Gordon Smith, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, is the proverbial seventh son of a seventh son. His outstanding abilities as a medium—or messenger from the spirit world—have led him to be dubbed "The UK's most accurate medium."
Gordon has brought comfort and healing to thousands of people through the messages he's delivered from the other side. He's traveled to many parts of the world to appear before audiences, has read for many celebrities, and has been featured in television documentaries, but his feet have remained firmly on the ground. Refusing to ever charge for a private reading, Gordon still works in his barbershop in the west end of Glasgow.
Gordon has proven his abilities to scientists exploring the nature of mediumship, and has astounded them with the consistency and accuracy of his messages.
In this often humorous book, Gordon tells his own story of life as a messenger for the spirit world and shares his commonsense advice for avoiding charlatans and finding a true connection to Spirit.

First book I ever read about a Medium, but I'm hooked..........2007-01-02
I love Gordon Smith...
He's genuine, smart, real, informative, and often funny.
This book is a real page turner, and even if you don't know a thing about mediumship, you will be charmed.
He's a fine story-teller and a great spriritual teacher, and a chillingly accurate medium. It is my dream to see him for real.
FASCINATING, FUNNY, INFORMATIVE!.......2006-10-12
What more could you ask for? I had the privilege of seeing Gordon Smith live. He is genuine and his somewhat autobiographical book is as delightful as he is! This is a good book for anyone who is interested in mediumship and spiritualism.
great book.......2004-08-25
this was one of those books I couldn't put down until I'd finished.
This book details the Journey of a medium's life, it brings allot of information to the subject of mediumship, it also gives some info on spiritualism. a book full of good humor and insight.
Wow - this guy gives exact names & places!.......2004-07-27
I went to see Gordon Smith as part of Hay House's Mystical Connections - it was the first time I'd ever seen a medium in action. I didn't get a reading but saw others validate the dates, names and places that Gordon Smith gave them and was so fascinated with what I saw that I bought this book. Its an autobiographical account of how Gordon became aware of his abilities to connect with the Spirit World, ignored them, then rediscovered them and has used them as a tool to help those suffering with grief. Amazing to think that he can actually talk to the dead and written with a great deal of respect for his work with the spirit world. This book will really open your eyes to the existence of a different realm and reinforce your belief in the integrity of some mediums.
Book Description
For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of "remote viewing" -- the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind....
Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan -- a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential -- tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine U.S. Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War.
In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation's leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using "mental espionage" created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.
For anyone interested in a hard, scientific look at the reality of psychic covert operations in the world today, or anyone who has ever wondered if he or she could have the inherent skills to become a remote viewer, this fascinating chronicle of life as a psychic spy will reveal the answers.

Definitely worth buying, reading and thinking about.......2007-07-31
First part is a good read. One can get lots of useful concepts out of. The second part, the one gives clues and exercise on how one can jump start his/her remote viewing abilities is even much more useful. The exercises might appear difficult to do, or not really effective for the skeptics, but I can attest they work. I have had quite a bit of amazing results since I was able to "reinvent the wheel", a new (little) language made of symbols that we meet in every day's life that the Universe/God/Cosmic Consciousness can use to talk back to us.
First hand knowledge: This book is the real deal!.......2006-09-28
Trying to describe the process of remote viewing and how it truly works takes someone who is a gifted writer. Lyn Buchanan does just that in a very masterful way. Many who read this book go on to study Controlled Remote Viewing with Lyn's company, P>S>I and find that his claims in the book are not fabricated, but easily replicated in a lab setting. While Remote Viewing in and of itself can be considered very abstract, Lyn Buchanan expresses the nuances and brain processes of it in a very clear way. Although other military men participated in this project, Lyn Buchanan seems to have the best grasp of what remote viewing truly is and what can be done with it. I highly recommend the book -- it is a great read.
Remote Viewing is REAL, Lyn Buchanan on the other hand............2006-02-20
I'd like to start by saying that, while this book is informative for anyone new to the subject, it is hardly the best. It does provide an interesting backdrop to the topic of remote viewing, because it was the US military who really formalized the process that is used today. But if you want a more wholistic approach to the subject, I'm sure there are better books out there.
Secondly, I believe that Lyn Buchanan job is to dissemenate at least some level of disinformation, because:
A) he says in the book that remote influence is not possible, but Ingo Swann and others say it is. Being told that something is not possible discourages people from trying it, and will also make it more difficult to acheive because you've been 'primed' to believe that it isn't possible.
B) In this book and in his subsequent books, he maintains the mantra that the US government has terminated Remote Viewing studies. To believe that, you'd have to be a fool.
C) Military service is like smoking; Nobody every really quits.
On the upside, I actually had my very first and completely unintentional Remote Viewing experience while reading this book. I was about half way through the book and had come across some paragraphs that were descibing what it was like to be emmersed in the 'remote target'. Many of the desciptions I found to be very similar what it feels like to be in a lucid dream, another area of conciousness I am facinated with.
I thought to myself, 'I'd like to try to remote view something in this reality while in a lucid dream.'
Then I thought 'Well if I was going to do it, what target would I choose?'
My next thought was 'I guess I'd read the last word in my roomate's bedside journal, because I don't know what's in it and it changes every night'
My next thought was(and I'm not sure why I thought this) 'IF I were be in a dream right now performing the session, the word I would find would be 'it'.
After that brief pause from reading the book, I went back to reading. I didn't think anything more of the word I had chosen because I didn't think I had actually done anything; I was merely thinking outloud.
When I got home later that day, I found myself in my roomates room using his computer (because mine was not working). I glanced over at his journal and thought. "Hmmm, i wonder...."
I picked it up, opened it to the last page, and the last sentence on the last page was 'That day was the happiest day of my life, I am so glad I was there for it.'
Needless to say, my interest has been peaked.
Past Time for the Truth .......2005-08-20
Excellent book by an actual participant of a secret program I learned of in the 1960s as a young Army wife. Only problem is Buchanan sides too much with the military and doesn't tell all that was done to some psychics. For a closer version of the truth, read Psychic Warrior by Brian Moorehouse.
Couldn't Put It Down.......2005-05-14
Read it even while walking the dog. This book is an excellent overview of one pioneer's experiences. It is good for beginners who wonder what this is all about and also for experienced remote viewers who will be able to glean a bit more about techniques used in higher (non-taught) Stages. I have learned that I am not made of "the right stuff" for advanced remote viewing; it is a "martial art". But if I were to venture further into this wondrous world, I would want Lyn Buchanan for my guide.
