David Morehouse is a courageous man with an extraordinary story that transcends time and space
From the Publisher
Genuine, frank and honest; read the real facts!
Forget the disinformation and lies. Morehouse is smeared and attacked because people in the know are aware that he is the genuine article. Read the real facts about remote viewing from a first-hand witness. Frank and honest.
From the Back Cover
When David Morehouse - a highly decorated army officer - was hit by a stray bullet, he began to be plagued with visions and uncontrolled out-of-body experiences. As a consequence, he was recruited as a psychic spy for STARGATE, a highly classified programme of espionage instigated by the CIA and the US Defence Department. Trained to develop spiritual, clairvoyant capacities, he became one of a select band of 'remote viewers' in pursuit of previously unattainable political and military secrets.
When Morehouse discovered that the next step in the top-secret programme was 'remote influencing' - turning 'viewers' like himself into deadly weapons - he rebelled. In his efforts to expose the programme, he and his family endured the full force of the US intelligence community's attempts to silence him. As the multi-million-dollar STARGATE scandal was exposed to the world, Morehouse himself became the enemy of the secret services...
In Psychic Warrior one of STARGATE's 'viewers' finally reveals the extraordinary truth of this secret operation.
Originally published in 1996, there is a continuing demand for David Morehouse's story in the U.K. Out of print for over a year, this new edition of Psychic Warrior features a new foreword by the author.

Truth or lies??? You judge......
Well I know what I think, David Morehouse conveys his life-story in a typical servicemans style...informative, relativley unemotional but as straight to the point as the bullet that could have killed him. It's a 'pick it up and put it down 4 hours later' kind of book that had me on the edge of my seat. It also got me very interested in CRV techniques and now I know where you are!
Disappointed
I read many reviews before deciding to purchase this and see for myself what all the fuss was about. David Morehouse is controversial within the remote viewing community. A quick search of google using the phrase "the truth about david morehouse" will tell you why. I have read several other books by Joe McMoneagle on remote viewing so I have no doubts that the project and remote viewing techniques described by Morehouse are true. What I have an issue with is that I believe he has dramatised many events to make them seem more interesting or justify his actions.
The basic premise is that he gets chosen to work on a remote viewing project and then takes exception when he learns that you can remotely influence people into commiting atrocities, killing themselves etc. He wants it to be used for good and therefore wants to go public. The government then supposedly try to silence him by first bringing him up on a series of charges (adultery, sodomy, conduct unbecoming of an officer, larceny) and then trying to bump him off. He then details how he loses the plot due to side effects of remote viewing and the pressure from his employers.
Before reading the book I was all for believing that the government could conspire to do such a thing and although trying to keep an open mind i started off on his side. This opinion started to change very quickly just by judging his style of writing. He comes across as somebody who gets irritated, angry and takes offence very easily. He also comes across as self righteous and an attention seeker. The title of the book - Psychic Warrior attests to that.
He describes remote viewing sessions as like slipping into the ether and witnessing certain events like he was actually there. This starts to happen in his normal life aswell and he keeps waking up on his front garden like a mentalist. Then he starts disappearing for a few days and having no recollection. This puts a big strain on his family and he separates from his wife for a time. Reading between the lines, what better, albeit bizarre excuse to use if you were having an affair (remember the charges for adultery) and not coming home at night. "Oh I fell into the ether and can't remember what happened".
If this is the first book you have read on remote viewings then you may not draw the same conclusions that I did but when compared to the writings of Joe McMoneagle you can see that Morehouse's descriptions seem too far fetched. One example for instance is that he is driving and his tyre blows out and nearly kills him. A passing independant tow truck pulls up and helps him. The tow truck man points out that it was done deliberately because of the way an incision was made in the sidewall. It was done in such a way that the tyre would blow out at about 60mph rather than immediately. This just sounds too far fetched to me. He makes out like the tow truck man is some forensic detective. I can't see that anybody would come to a conclusion like that instantly.
The book is disappointing because the accuracy of the interesting parts (e.g Learning that chemical weapons were released next to burning oil wells in kuwait during the Iraqi invasion and may have caused gulf war syndrome) is drawn into question by the rest of his lies. I believed everything Joe McMoneagle wrote but I just had to take Psychic Warrior as a work of fiction and not a very good one at that.
A mindblower!
This book is absolutely gripping, I couldn't put it down. Remote viewing has been, and still is being used by certain governments for espionage, with amazing results. If you believe the mind has extraordinary power and want to know more, or you need convincing, then I think you will like this book.
