Apparently similar techniques were used by both PPD's Sherman and
'Psychic Warrior' Morehouse to achieve the altered states necessary to
activate their 'capabilities'.
On page 106 [p. 129 in paperback edition] of PW, Morehouse writes:
"I listened to one of the focus tapes I'd been given to help me relax.
The tape carried both audible and subliminal messages; certain tonal
frequencies on it were specifically designed to help merge the
brainwaves of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This helped
the viewer to achieve an altered state."
Please compare with Sherman's following recollection of a difficult
component of his 'schooling':
"My instructor told me to mentally visualize two points in space, each
representing separate tones that would be alternately played in the
headphones. As I did this I was to force the two points together
creating one point in space. He said that they would resist one
another like opposite poles of a magnet but I had to visualize myself
sapping the energy from each of them, bringing that energy towards
myself..." PPD, page 56.
IC and RV related phenomena? Maybe Dan's genetic tweaking (and mystery
tablets) rendered all the RV relaxation/preparation steps unnecessary.
Also, maybe Dan's 'skills' were honed for a selected part of the RV
spectrum.

FROM THE MODERATOR
In response to this message, I have added the Morehouse book to my
catalog. It is $6.99 in paperback. #morehouse

My review...
Morehouse's book has provoked strong reactions from remote
viewing insiders, most of whom seem to have little respect for
him. Col. John Alexander, who participated in military remote
viewing programs, writes: "This book is the epitome of
hypocrisy.... There is abject disregard for truth. Do not buy
this book. If you must read it, borrow it from the library." We
do not disagree with Alexander's review, but something has
changed since he wrote it. The book is now available in
paperback, making the cost and guilt level more reasonable. Truth
is certainly disregarded on the jacket cover. Instead of being
"America's Foremost Psychic Spy" as the jacket claims, Morehouse
was by most accounts only a minor player in the DIA's remote
viewing program. Nonetheless, no one doubts that he participated,
and the book conveys real experiences seen through one
participant's eyes. Once you recognize that there are hidden
tensions here and that many things have been left unsaid, the
account is quite entertaining and readable. It is even more
interesting when you read what others have to say about Morehouse
and then try to figure out what is really going on. This is not
the first book to read on remote viewing (that should be
Schnabel's "Remote Viewers," followed by McMoneagle's "Mind Trek"),
but if you are a serious student of the subject you probably
ought to have it on your bookshelf, since it is certainly part of
the culture and history of remote viewing. -- Glenn
