  Only in this particular case, what neither Ed nor I told her from the outset was the following:

  The target was not selected until her last button push!

  The specific program set we were using at the time actually does not select a target until the end of the demonstration. Initially when the blank screen is shown, there has been no target selected.

  I do the remote viewing, after which the five possible targets are selected for judging against what I've drawn.

  Once the judging has been completed, the final time the button is pushed—in this case, when she pushed it—she selected which of the five would be the actual target or answer.

  I essentially did a remote viewing for a target that was not selected until after it had been judged, a target that did not exist in time/space until after both the remote viewing was accomplished and the judging terminated.

  The silence in the room after Ed explained this to her was incredible. I could not have asked for a more exceptional result, and it remains today one of the cleanest and finest examples of precognitive remote viewing I've ever done as a live demonstration. It's the kind of event that keeps me doing what I do; it's the reason I seldom lose interest.

  I've received a number of honors from those I consider to be serious investigators into the paranormal. The Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina, presented me with an award at their annual fundraiser on January 25, 1997. I was honored for my contributions to research and my participation in the exploration of remote viewing. I am a guest lecturer there during their summer student program, and visit quite often. I've also been included as a participant and sometimes consultant in some of their experiments.

  A number of years ago, I was voted in as a full member of the Parapsychological Association. I am probably the only working psychic or remote viewer who's been honored in that fashion. I've written a paper, which was accepted and published in their Journal of Parapsychology, Vol. 61./No. 2, June 1997, titled "Perceptions of a Paranormal Subject." I've also participated in panel discussions during annual meetings. I am greatly humbled by the honor they've given me in this respect, something I never expected. The Parapsychological Association, Inc. is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and our membership meets annually in various cities across the world.

  I've given presentations or joint presentations on request to numerous universities including the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, Stanford University, and Harvard, for both faculty and the student body. I enjoy these lectures, especially when they stir open-minded debate and raise a lot of questions that may drive others into the world of paranormal research.

  It does sometimes reach open-minded people who acknowledge, based on their own experience, the existence of PSI and what it can do in life. As an example, my wife and I were both recently honored with the titles "Dame's Cross" and "Knight Chevalier," respectively, in the Order of Saint Stanislas, by Prince Grand Master Count Juliusz Nowina-Sokolnicki GCCStS.

  The Order of Saint Stanislas is an international order of chivalry, made up of honorable men and women of all races and creeds who are concerned with assisting those less fortunate than themselves. Although it has focus throughout the world, the current efforts of the order have been in Eastern Europe, where the order has a number of ongoing projects mainly based in Poland. One of the major charities in which the order is currently involved is the "Chernobyl Kids" project, which provides ongoing medical and financial support to the now second-generation victims suffering from a variety of cancers as a result of the Chernobyl disaster—these are children who otherwise have been abandoned by others.

  I only point this out because it symbolizes how others feel concerning spiritual, moral, and cross-cultural attitudes necessary in any direct action contributing to the improvement of civilization and the relationships between diverse peoples of the world—something my wife and I have always attempted to exemplify through the appropriate application and use of remote viewing—a personal effort now extending over two and a half decades. It has never been easy identifying the moral high ground, and attempting to operate from that point of view, especially in a world as complex as today's. We are very honored to have been recognized for our efforts to help others in this respect.xviii

  Some people have begun to ask me when I'm going to retire from remote viewing. Or, put another way, don't you get tired of it?

  The honest answer is yes. I do get tired. It's not the remote viewing that makes me tired. It's the frustration and sometimes rage I feel when I see my work being used to validate a scam, or when I observe the media mixing apples and oranges—one specific subject matter in with another—such as blending remote viewing in with remote influencing—one having at least an acceptable set of standards and the other none at all. I get tired of the deliberate and destructive nature of some of the people on both sides of the issues who do terrible damage to the credibility and work so many have spent a lifetime trying to establish across the entire field of paranormal research. I get tired when the media or critics don't even take the time to read the literature.

  I don't want to be misunderstood here. It's okay to disagree with the literature, but if you are going to do so, you need to put at least as much thought into the disagreement as went into the argument in the first place. Putting it down to the work of the devil, calling into question the integrity of the researcher (without any proof), or going on a destructive binge with someone's reputation just to darken the skyline over the subject matter is not comic relief—it's criminal.

  I suppose my plan is really a simple one. I don't believe in retirement; I do believe in contributing something as long as it continues to be of value to someone. I have just completed my twenty-second remote viewing that was done live on camera and under controls for national television in Tokyo, Japan. I believe it will be my last. It's always good to stop doing something on a good note, and it was about as good as it gets.

  The Japanese production team arrived at my house in January 2002. Originally they were going to fly me to Japan to do the remote viewing, but decided it would have more impact for me to do the viewing from my home in the mountains of Virginia, and then fly to Japan for the studio portion and results.

  I did four targets for them—three while they were in the States and one, which was a surprise to me, while filming in the studio.

  Two of the targets involved missing people, which as I said before, are the most difficult targets to complete, especially in a short period of time. At the time of targeting for the first two targets, I was given no information, doing them as I always like to do them—blind.

  My wife and the producer put the name of the missing person in a sealed envelope, which was then brought into the dining room, where I had agreed to do the remote viewing. Attached to the envelope were two questions written on a yellow Post-It note:

  "Describe the person and their current health or condition." "Describe the location of the person."

  The crew handed me the sealed envelope and asked me to provide an answer to the questions on the envelope. I did not know at the time that it was a search for a Mr. Noriyuki Ito's mother, who, if still alive, would be 48 years old. Mr. Ito, who had been abandoned by his mother when he was a year old, had no idea of her location. In fact, she had not been seen in 27 years. Without resorting to any information, even the mother's date of birth, I provided the following, on film:

  The missing person is a female, middle aged, and alive.

  She currently lives in a metropolitan area of six million to seven million people (I specified the location as definitely not being Tokyo).

  The city has a bay and four man-made islands. I felt her presence strongly in the southwestern area (which they originally assumed to be Nishinomiya in Osaka).

  The population definitely does not exceed 300,000 (for that specific prefecture).

  A river divides the city and a much larger city to the side.

  I felt
her residence lay in a delta area between the river and the center of the city proper.

  There was a large parklike area near her residence.

  There was a round monument-like structure in the center of the city area there.

  She lives in one of the rooms of a three-story apartment containing six rooms.

  I said that her residence was the backmost room.

  On returning to Japan, the crew agreed that the place must be Nishinomiya Prefecture of Osaka. But they found that Nishinomiya had no river as part of its border, and a small delta along the river couldn't be found. Checking in with the local real estate office, they were told that according to the description it couldn't be Nishinomiya.

  They made a decision to modify the search based on my data. The population was specifically stated to be less than 300,000. They discovered that Nishinomiya was 390,000. Looking for a city within Osaka with a population less than 300,000, they discovered there was only one such prefecture. For purposes of protecting the individuals concerned, they refer to this prefecture as City X. It was shown as having a population of 280,000.

  A full investigation of City X was begun immediately. Surprisingly, they found that a river served as a border to the area, and a small delta as described was located, as well as the large round monument. The large park they felt I was referring to most likely was the small Cessna airport, one of the very few small airports located within a major city anywhere in Japan.

  Combing the area within the delta that was described as most likely the location of her residence, they found a three-story apartment building, with twelve rooms, rather than the six I had said. Checking the nameplate on the mailboxes though, lo and behold, they discovered the maiden name of Mrs. A. That specific mailbox belonged to the backmost room of the first floor. But the nameplate on the door held nothing.

  Suspicious, the crew searched to find signs of someone inside, but there was originally no response. The crew asked some residents on the second floor, and learned that a woman in her fifties lived in that room. At that moment a man appeared from the room and was questioned by the crew. The man refused to speak, claiming he knew nothing. He quickly left on his motorcycle.

  Sensing it might be dangerous to intrude any further, the crew instead went to the local city hall to check the records. They found that indeed, that room was her residence. (Mr. Noriyuki Ito has since written his mother a letter but has not yet received a response.)

  The second missing person was a Mr. Saburo Tanaka. Again, the target's name was placed within a sealed envelope with the same questions attached.

  I accurately described Mr. Tanaka and said that he lived in Tokyo. It was my perception that he was making himself hard to find because of money he owed from a debt incurred due to stock losses at a company he worked for.

  Based on the information I provided, they have narrowed the search to a specific group of apartment complexes within a specific prefecture of Tokyo and are now searching that area. It is a continuing investigation.

  Subsequent to the show's broadcast, a viewer phoned the studio to report the missing man as being his neighbor, living under an assumed name—in the apartments identified through remote viewing.

  At the beginning of the show, the detective who is searching for Mr. Tanaka was asked if he believed in using psychics to hunt for people, and his response was a definite "no." It was his feeling that it was a waste of time.

  During the filming of the show, he stated that he was totally surprised to hear me describe the missing man exactly and, with great detail, the reason he was being sought. He had in fact worked for a securities firm and there was a great deal of debt incurred as a result of bad investments. What he didn't know, however, was that his brother and the rest of his family had made good on these debts and just wanted him to come home. He stated that there was previous evidence that he had cashed checks in the area in which I had placed him. The detective is now committed to a very detailed search of that area, and gave me his card after the show, inquiring as to my availability to help on future cases. He is now convinced that, used properly, remote viewing information can assist in at least providing new leads or narrowing down a search area dramatically.

  The third case, an unsolved murder of a family of four—father, mother, daughter, and younger son, remains sealed since it involves an ongoing murder investigation. In that case, using photos of the victims, I gave an accurate description of the murder sequences in detail, a description of the killer, what he was wearing, and a motive for the murder. I also provided a beginning search area and suggested places for picking up a lead to finding the suspect. I guess in time I'll hear something.

  At the end of the show, they asked a panel member to stand up. He had had his photograph taken on the way into the studio. They asked me if I could describe where he had been standing when the photograph was taken.

  After a great deal of trouble, I finally said it wasn't going to be very detailed, because it appeared to be just a large, open space. I described the entry to the large open space as being a somewhat ornate tunnel-like passage.

  When I saw the picture, I immediately realized they, like many others, had asked the wrong question. The individual was standing in the very empty courtyard of a large enclosure, circled by buildings. It was a very famous shrine in Tokyo. He had been kind enough to take a picture of the way into the open-spaced enclosure, which was through a complex shrine constructed of interlocking poles and beams—much like my drawing.

  If only they had asked me to describe the actual target within which he was surrounded! I guess no one ever reads the literature.

  There have been a lot of comments made regarding the September 11th events in New York City and Washington, D.C. Could remote viewing have prevented it from occurring?

  There is evidence that precognitive information can be—and has been—given in the past about violent incidents that were about to occur. The problem is that it is almost impossible—at least in most cases—to positively identify the location without a great deal of effort and multiple remote viewings. In the case of New York, I believe there would have been sufficient details to identify both the city and the target beforehand.

  Would that have stopped it from happening?

  The real answer is that we will never know and, even more truthfully, probably not. The reason has to do mostly with belief. Someone has to believe that the complex course of actions that allowed it to happen are foreseeable and, therefore, preventable. I happen to agree with these statements, but most don't. I have to believe that, because that's how I make remote viewing work. I believe it is possible—and for me it is and always will be. I know that remote viewing is far from the perfect capability that many on the radical edge want to paint it as. I know that it is a continual and uphill battle just to find enough funding to keep the electricity going in the few labs that study it—never mind salaries. But, I also know from time to time it works, and surprisingly well.

  It works when you have an open mind and aren't afraid to approach it—albeit with caution and respect. It works when you don't get all your information off the Internet, but take the time and trouble (and money) to hire the experts—the scientists who have spent a quarter of a century investigating it, using it, and testing it. You have to invest the time reading the appropriate literature, the stuff you find in the scientific journals.

  The saddest part of all is that a lot of people out there are applying "remote viewing" right now who don't even understand what it is. They are calling what they do remote viewing because it sells—it opens the door to their fifteen minutes of fame.

  It could be used in some small way, some controlled way, to assist in the defense of the country, to aid in the hunt for terrorists, to prevent or reduce the destruction and death of human beings. It can be used to investigate the creative mental endeavors we may require in meeting the future challenges to our survival as a species.

  All it takes is an open mind—a disciplined nature—and a reaso
nable degree of personal ethics or responsibility.

  Final Words

  Understanding there are differences that exist between the terms "psychic" and "being psychic within remote viewing protocols," in the end, as in the beginning, we are still left with questions.

  Can someone be trained as a psychic and remote viewer, like a lawyer or a carpenter? Or by necessity is there a natural talent present from the beginning?

  Does it take a special kind of person to be a psychic? Does it have to be someone who has a predisposition for it from the outset?

  Do psychic people have an advantage over the norm? Or is it the norm?

  Should they profit from the use of their talent? Or should they donate their talent, reject personal wealth and fame, and live their lives as saints?

  Is being psychic and a world-class remote viewer a gift from God? Is it the work of the devil?

  Can one refuse the gift? Should one refuse the gift?

  I've had to deal with many of these questions for well over two decades now I'm still not sure about some of the answers. The only way to really understand the answers is to understand the context in which the questions were asked or the circumstances in which the answers were learned. To do that, one needs to have a very good feel for what it's like to be psychic, and even more difficult, what it's like to be psychic within the constraints of a valid remote viewing protocol. And the best way to accomplish that—other than being psychic and a remote viewer—is to have direct access to the mind of a psychic who is a remote viewer.

  I have tried to present these issues herein. To do so, I did what I said I never would do—I opened a door to my own experience and reality as I've observed it. I also did this in a way I've never wanted to, by opening a doorway to my mind as well as my soul.

  So this book was about me, my mind, my thoughts and experiences. It was a description, or perhaps only my perception, of how many steps it took to go from a being a child born in Miami, Florida, to an Army intelligence officer, then to psychic spy, Remote Viewer #001 of the United States Army Star Gate program.
