Opening to the Infinite
Jeff Mishlove
I regard Stephan A. Schwartz as a hero of consciousness -- and have stated this clearly in a blog post about him from last September. But, I don't think I've said quite enough about this book. So, let me put it bluntly.
There are dozens of excellent books available now regarding the topic of remote viewing. Some of my favorite authors are Joseph McMoneagle, Russell Targ, Jane Katra, Hal Puthoff, Paul H. Smith, Lyn Buchanan, Angela Thompson Smith, Dale Graff, Jean Millay and Ingo Swann. I know all of these people personally. I respect and admire them all. I consider them friends and colleagues. I recommend all of their books.
But, if you could only read one book on remote viewing, or (better yet) if you were looking for the best book currently available on this topic, my recommendation would be Opening to the Infinite by Stephan A. Schwartz.
Frankly, this is a book that I had been asking Stephan to write for almost the past fifteen years -- and he was even so kind to credit me (along with his wife) in the acknowledgments for patiently urging him to write this book.
If psychic functioning is real, the best proof of that are the practical applications that result from it. And, nobody in modern human history has done more to further the practical development of parapsychology than Stephan A. Schwartz. He is not only a hero of consciousness, in my estimation. He is a living treasure to all of humanity. He's not likely to receive the honors that he deserves in this lifetime. But, in my view, you will be doing yourself a great pleasure and honor by reading his book.

Jeff,
It's been only 9 days since we became friends but it seems like it's been much longer.
You're my only e-friend who professes a love for paranormal and my skin friends can't help me. In fact, they glaze over when I ask or speak about this tendency of mine. Since I lost my memory, I dejavu alot… a real lot… in excess of 25 times a day.
Sometimes when I dejavu I know exactly where I was and swap emotions with my former (younger self) but mostly that's too much information and I am grateful to have a general sense of the time period. I spend 25 times (often more times) a day “time trippin'.” I am either reliving past visions or setting up new ones.
In both configurations, there is often an observer or a narrator who ties the information together for the old me/ current or current/future. (These visions aren't limited to just this life. I seem to have access to 4 other lives that swap energy and strengthen from my “current one.”)
Also, the physical events almost never have anything to do with each other. There is no apparent stimulus-response link that would tie the two time periods, so this is not my simple mind configuring these together.
When I travel the structure that holds these memory cups, they are wired together in a spiral matrix- but that hasn't happened in a long time. I think it was the Narrator's way of explaining that consciousness has its own structure, that exists amidst/despite physical events. There's a lot on that subject so I don't want to go too far off the path.
Do you have any comments on the purpose of dejavu? Do you know anyone who time trips this much and who I could compare notes with? It would be great to share the different configurations of how Time layers and links.

Well said, Dr. - I introduced myself to Stephan 25 years ago and wish there were more like him. I recently wrote that he was a “courageous empiricist.” His latest book is, indeed, fabulous.
Two of the things which originally attracted me to his style were that he's particularly grounded and un-flakey, and he's especially articulate. One can not only trust what he says but understand it. He gave an extemporaneous address at October 2007's International Remote Viewing conference that was as good a speech as I seen anyone every give, in person or on the tube.
May the road rise to meet you both!
