Product Description
Remote viewing is the ability to travel psychically out of one's body to remote locations. Scientist Tim Rifat reveals how remote viewing has been used in psychic warfare for more than 50 years and how the superpowers have used it to spy on each other . . . and on us. At the height of the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States developed a new and terrible form of warfare called psychotronics. This school of espionage used ESP and psychic spying as well as telepathic hypnosis and even remote killing. Tim Rifat provides scientific explanations of how remote viewing works and detailed instructions on how to learn the techniques-information that is taught in the US on courses costing many thousands of dollars.

 An excellent book indeed (especially for its time) October 1, 2008

After reading some of the negative reviews, I had to speak up in this author's defense.
This is a damn good book. One reviewer says don't try to learn remote viewing from it. Maybe so, but what he fails to tell you is that the revealed protocols based on theta/delta mind levels are infinitely more powerful than those based on the alpha/ beta levels typical of the western worlds published approaches. This information alone is worth the price of the book. RV, RI and their derivatives are the final frontier........forget about space travel. Doesn't even come close. And, the theta/delta connection is kept under wraps while the public is allowed to wallow in the kindergarten stuff.
Whoops..there it is!! "Conspiracy theory".
A couple of reviews mentioned "conspiracy theory" like its a bad thing. This is classic disinformation as the dissection and understanding of conspiracies and conspirators is the key to true knowledge. You know absolutely nothing about anything if you aren't well versed in the conspiracies of the time. JFK, 911, reverse engineering UFO's, mind control, New World Order, etc.
The world is run by conspiring men and intelligence agencies ARE in the business of deception. The biggest clue is the money the Russians were spending on these programs. And while the "a customer" reviewer thinks it is all a joke. The CIA didn't think so. Newsflash: the most "no-nonsense" and "un-BS-able" people on the planet are those involved in intelligence gathering and national security. And they have spent a lot of time and loot on this stuff.
Rifat does a great job explaining what is very difficult to explain. There is a ton of disinformation surrounding an important and world changing topic as RV and RI. And while some of his scientific theory is flawed in places, he is right on target on the important stuff.
Remote killing, technology assisted conciousness, conciousness assisted technology, remote healing, telepathic counterintelligence?
Sorry, Mr. anti-conspiracy theory dude. The above is all real stuff. And Tim Rifat shed light on it before anyone else in a very commendable way despite his flaws.
Since then, I'm afraid he has become a casualty of perhaps some of the ghosts he mentions in his book. This is based on my assessment of how accurate this book was for the time it was published and the total junk being published under his name on the internet now and subsequent to this book.
For further reading, I recommend:
"Hidden Truth - Forbidden Knowledge --- Dr. Steven M. Greer.
"Exempt from Disclosure: The Black World of UFO's" --Robert M. Collins
And remember, when somebody cries conspiracy theory, it is either out of ignorance or to keep you in the dark (ie. disinformation).
 Some Interesting Bits, but Overall, a Disappointment September 15, 2008
What Did I Get Out of the Read?
----------------------------------
Rifat gives a summary of the state of research within the ex eastern bloc countries into what the American researchers call "Remote Viewing". This summary was more detailed than anywhere else I have read. There is heavy reliance on secondary documents, rather than on primary references (probably due to availability and language barriers).
Why Would You Want to Read This?
------------------------------------
For a view of RV things that were happening outside the US - however do not expect a deep understanding. The book is generally well referenced if you want to follow up the sources.
What Did I Think of the Book?
--------------------------------
As I read deeper into this book, my perception of its credibility plummeted.
I am left with questions regarding the credibility of the author. Several times Rifat refers to himself as a scientist, and the reader feels that they are being asked to accept some things based on the expert scientific opinion of the author. However, nowhere in the book does Rifat give an account of his qualifications, research or experience. Nor can I find any scientific papers by Rifat on Google Scholar.
Some of the sources that Rifat uses are not known as the most reliable source of facts (although, in the shady world of USSR paranormal research, they are probably the only ones available).
I would not choose this book to learn remote viewing. The book tends to give numbered lists of instructions as protocols for developing or performing various aspects of Remote Viewing (and other paranormal abilities). I believe this falls far short of the instruction needed to be able to effectively Remote View (and is certainly not the "How To Do It" promised in the subtitle. I found that a good proportion of the book (maybe 20%) is about paranormal abilities other than Remote Viewing.

This book is more for conspiracy theorists than for people learning Remote Viewing. The book does include some Remote Viewing techniques which have derived from other techniques with the author's pseudo-science explanation of why it is suppose to be better than other techniques, which I disagree with. The author spends a great amount of detail with this pseudo-science, which is a detriment to him. Clearly the author has no scientific background whatsoever. In Chapter 3 of this book, the author attributes psi-ability to what he calls psi-genes. He states that "the widespread burning and persecution of witches in medieval Europe would have deselected psi-genes in Western women, making them much rarer" and that "European men score significantly better at remote viewing than women." This demonstrates he doesn't have a good understanding of natural and/or artifical selection and how genes are transfered in offspring. There are no genes that are only passed from women to women. It's true that mitochondrial DNA is only passed from women to offspring, but that would not deselect psi-genes in Western women since both male and female children would still recieve the mitochondrial DNA and the affect of deselecting would affect both sexes and not one. If we are going with genes that are just passed down from males to males, then we would be looking at the Y-chromosome. Since women never recieve the Y-chromosome, then they wouldn't be able to have a psi-gene if it was related to the Y-chromosome.
If you want to learn techniques for Remote Viewing, there are better books out there. If you want to learn the science behind Remote Viewing, please stay away from this book because the author doesn't have a clue about science and is speculating from other material he has read and didn't understand. If you like conspiracy theories and are getting tired of reading about JFK and Area 51, go ahead and pick up this book. It may entertain you.

Rifat is so blinded by conspiracy theories that it makes his book laughable. Buy another book on Remote Viewing.
 To the point? January 11, 2004
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I found that this book gets to the point really quickly, maybe a bit to quickly! The author seems to cover every aspect of remote viewing but the instructions seemed a bit to rushed for me. The book did not dive into the science of remote viewing, so unless you have read lots about the human bioplasmic body, such as books on chakras and auras, you may not get as much out of the book as you could have. Also some of the stories are repetitious. Not a very well edited book. But it does seem to cover a bit of everything pertaining to remote viewing, and has lots of how to instructions, quick as they are. If the author ever writes an updated version of this book I hope he gets himself a good editor who could make this book more readable and usable, then he will get 5 stars from me.
