PSI Spies - The True Story of...

Jim Marrs

“In PSI Spies, Jim Marrs has provided the original report on the U.S. Army’s use of psychic remote viewing as an intelligence tool.” —Whitley Strieber

Learn the Truth About Our Military’s Psychic Soldiers

PSI Spies takes you behind the scenes of the US Army’s formerly top-secret remote viewing unit to see how the military has used this psychic ability as a tool and a weapon. Even though remote viewing was developed by various tax-supported government agencies, including the CIA, most Americans have never heard of this faculty.

In the 1970s, with the support of Congress, the Army formed a small unit of remote viewers to spy for America. These soldiers/psychic spies gained penetrating knowledge about a wide variety of subjects. They were consulted to stop a Soviet plot to kill President Ronald Reagan. They mentally prowled the halls of the Kremlin. They probed Iraq’s hidden weapons sites in preparation for the 1991 Gulf War.

From insights into our future to the continuing mysteries of UFOs and crop circles, no subject has been immune to the military remote viewers—America’s Psi Spies. And now, in this book, you can also find tips on how to remote view on your own.

Praise for PSI Spies

“PSI Spies is one of the best books ever written about the U.S. government’s top-secret psychic warfare unit. Marrs introduces us to all involved in this covert project and gives a detailed view of the benefits and limitations of applied remote viewing. I highly recommend it.” —Simeon Hein, PhD, author of Opening Minds

“Marrs uses his impressive investigative skills and impeccable research to delve into the shadowy world of remote viewing and psychic spying as a form of intelligence gathering. Marrs presents compelling and thorough documentation of the classified quest of the U.S. government to understand the mysterious world of “psi” and turn it to their military advantage. Both provocative and highly entertaining, PSI Spies proves that our government takes paranormal phenomena far more seriously than we’ve ever been led to believe. Another must-read book by an author who is never afraid to dig deep for, and expose, the truth.” —Marie D. Jones, author of PSIence: How New Discoveries in Quantum Physics and New Science May Explain the Existence of Paranormal Phenomena

The Analysis of Mind

Bertrand Russell

"The Analysis of Mind" by Bertrand Russell is a philosophical book that explores the nature of the mind and consciousness. In this work, Russell argues that mental phenomena can be analyzed and understood through the principles of logic and mathematics. He posits that the mind can be divided into two categories: the "conscious mind" and the "unconscious mind". The conscious mind is the part of the mind that we are aware of, while the unconscious mind is the part that we are not aware of but which still influences our behavior. Read in English, unabridged.

The Dhammapada is a work familiar to every devout Buddhist and to every serious student of Buddhism. This small collection of 423 verses on the Buddha’s doctrine is so rich in insights that it might be considered the perfect compendium of the Dhamma in its practical dimensions. 
 
To draw out the living message of any great spiritual classic, it is not enough for us merely to investigate it in terms of questions that might be posed by scientific scholarship. We have to take a step beyond scholarly examination and seek to make an application of those teachings to ourselves in our present condition.
