This book is a sensible, level-headed approach without the hype and sensationalism. Even skeptical people will find food for thought, and might even change their minds.

If you know something about remote, but want to fill in some gaps...
The Essential Guide is an across-the-board survey of everything remote viewing. Inside its covers are many photos, remote viewing results, and facts never before published. There is much here that you may already know -- but just as much that you may discover for the first time.
Why this book matters...
Remote viewing is the most democratic of all extra-sensory skills--you don't have to have a "gift" to do it. Or, rather, nearly everyone has that gift, as long as you give it an honest try. That means that anyone can demonstrate for him- or herself that we humans are, indeed, more than just our physical bodies. The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing is an objective, accurate overview of remote viewing. It gives you handhold from which to launch into the world of consciousness beyond the brain.
