This is a good introductory book into the nature and importance of ESP by whom many consider to be the father of controlled remote viewing. This book goes into the basic premise behind perceiving targets and the various challenges presented with doing such. Models are given to help understand the various layers of the psyche that function in different ways when trying to relay incoming information. Focus is given towards picture drawings since verbal recognition presents issues to parts of the psyche that overtake and confuse the other areas of focus and development. Many cited examples, stretching from the beginning of the practice up into the date of publication serve to illustrate the various ways the psyche perceives and pieces together information unknown to the viewer. This was a good and concise read.
What I like about Ingo Swann is his unique take on the whole ESP phenomena (read Penetration for more). Very well explained, educational and concise. He isn't afraid of differentiating how much (almost everything) we don't know from what we really do know.
Great way to start or supplement a journey. If reality is perception, then the reality of the things stated in this book may become your new perception of world around you.
It's not everyday that you read a book that corrects and clarifies your previously held beliefs. This book does the correction partly to a small degree for me. To a great degree it's clarified concepts that I did not have a great understanding about. The author is not just gifted in their psychic abilities but is well versed in the study of the phenomena. That's what separates this book from many others. There's many presentations of experiments that yielded factual information to unbiased observers. The writing style is easy to understand which helps get the concepts across. This is not a book about how to activate psychic ability. There is some of that in the book but it's not the main thing. It's more about why psychic abilities are real. And why everyone has them. The degrees vary but with this you have a starting point on what you would have to do to use the information from most of these kinds of books. That is why I give book such a high rating.
This book is a thoroughly scientific and well-founded proposal for individual to develop their bioenergetic potential. However, the climate is so, and Ingo Swann's name and aura are so, that only a select few will indeed even want to walk through that door, not in spite of it being displayed so wide in the open, but because it is. They will continue looking for procedures in self-defeating studies, and others still will keep banging their heads against the fiction they find in occult grimoires.
Ingo was involved with military psy projects. And was responsible for changes in the program that helped it greatly. A true student of the game and great resource!
One of my first impressions while reading this book, was that the author comes across as being very intelligent. He obviously knows what he is talking about. We all have the power ; we just need to learn not to let our ‘mind’ get in the way.
This book isn’t exactly what I was expecting, but it does make you believe everyone has ESP. We just need to believe and practice. Ingo gives you an outline on how to start. Remember simple is best and baby steps.
This book is a very basic and general account of remote viewing. The author's main concern is to position drawing as the vehicle for elicit pychic pperceptions. The book is informative but gets boring and repetitive. Ingo Swan style of writting is deep and a little bit heavy. The title is misleading because there is not such a thing as a guide. Also, I think although the information is useful is dated.
First read: I must admit, I have a pretty good success rate at some things when left alone. But the future is the real test. Second read: Having read some other books on the subject, this one makes even more sense. One cannot expect pictures as if taken by a camera. It is best to simply draw what you do see. Just let go, relax, and record what shows up. Leave the concerns and interpretations for later. It's quite exciting when things match up, and they will once you're relaxed and receptive. Third time 'round: I finally bought the book rather than taking it out of the library. Ingo simply amazes me with his perceptions of what is happening when it happens.
