          Psi Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program
          by Jim Marrs

           I was excited about this book as I am very interested in astral travel, psychic powers, remote viewing and the like. However, when I first started reading it, I found it to be a little slow and boring. The beginning talks about David Morehouse and how he found the Psi Spies program and how the program got started along with the history of its development. I kept reading, though... slowly.
           About one third into it, things got pretty interesting. The book details several experiments and procedures by credible research institutes, such as Stanford Research Institute. In early experiments, remote viewing was a mysterious and unpredictable phenomenon. Results were often inaccurate, but when they were right, they were incredibly accurate — often seeing details overlooked by people physically at the site of viewing.
           Through the ’60s and ’70s, more research was conducted, and what they came up with was called Controlled Remote Viewing, in which coordinates were given to a subject and they would then view the coordinates remotely and report back on what was seen. Procedures were developed and remote viewing was proven scientifically, although still today many researchers don’t accept it, because researchers still have a hard time explaining exactly how remote viewing works. Nonetheless, funding came in from various sources to keep the Psi Spies alive and well, because they produced results.
           The Psi Spies died around the early ’90s, but only in the public eye. Covert black-ops took over and now use the intelligence for their own purposes. The early founders of the Psi Spies took their knowledge to the private sector and started companies offering psychic services.
           Towards the end of the book, I found it very interesting. The people involved with remote viewing had such extraordinary experiences. They started a collection of unexplained stories called the Enigma Files. These contained remote-viewing sessions of UFOs, other planets and locations impossible for us to physically travel to.
           Overall, the book was well documented, indexed and written coherently. After the initial boring history of how they started, I found the book quite fascinating, and will probably use it as a reference in my own research with remote viewing.
