Summary: Very moving
Review: "There is no doubt," write the authors, "that we have contact with the future in a way that shows unequivocally that we misunderstand our relationship to the dimension of time." There it is -- the turning point for the entire ballet of this stunning book. Thank you, Russell Targ and Jane Katra for bringing between these covers the stories of your professional lives and the pas de deux of such different approaches -- cutting-edge physics research and spiritual healing. It is a brave and beautiful book. Message to those who would disparage this book: first educate yourselves a little bit about quantum physics. Then come back and read it again with all your heart.

Summary: Publishers Weekly quote
Review: ". . . the authors envision a future "Psychic Internet," to which "we are all already hooked up. We just have to decide to pay attention." This provocative book should help readers do just that." Publishers Weekly

Summary: BOOKLIST REVIEW
Review: 12/1/97- BOOKLIST
Research physicist Targ and spiritual healer Katra set
out to show that human consciousness is unified-that is,
that all human consciousness is connected. Whether a
reader reaches the same conclusion will depend on background
and personal experience. Softening his presentation
with personal events, Targ concentrates on solid
scientific data, and Katra, who also draws heavily on personal
experiences, explores spiritual and psychological
aspects of consciousness. Targ once worked with the CIA,
and some of his experiments then with remote viewing
will cause many to marvel at the capabilities of persons
possessing these remarkable skills. One of the major
themes of the book, though, is that practically anyone can
learn remote-viewing and spiritual-healing techniques
simply by preparing the mind and by practice. Targ and
Katra acknowledge that they don't fully know how such
skills operate, but they are convinced that they do.
References will help intrigued readers pursue general and
specific topics broached herein. - William Beatty

Summary: This one is not convincing
Review: Even though I consider myself to be an open minded person with a serious interest in healing, this book did not convince me to take its subject seriously. After the smoke cleared, there was nothing for me to hold on to besides a lot of mumbo jumbo and factual sleight of hand. When a man claims to have been miraculously healed of cancer, he should be able to document his claim with hard facts, including x-rays, medical tests, medical testimonials by qualified professionals familiar with the case and the like. Instead, these authors say only that they don't know if Targ's original diagnosis, later not confirmed, was accurate. They brush by the main point but can't avoid its impact for rational people. It is not a great jumping off point for a book that has such pretentions of spirituality, but sadly misses the mark in that ambition as well.

Summary: Exceptional, current educational and experiential teaching.
Review: I am honored to find a book that exceptionally brings together current statistically data in realistic and understandable terms. It does due diligence to the topics discussed. Whereas most books are informational only, this book becomes an experiential tool to the sceptic that says, "Think on these things, and discover who you really are and what you are really capable of!" Hats off to pioneering leaders in the developement of spiritual potential. It is good to know we are that. And good to know that we are always, "More than that!" Cyberphysiology at it's finest, as Mind, Body, Spirit are made one.

Summary: Cancer
Review: Listen very carefully to the cancer complainers, they talk about qualified 'medical professionals': Do they exist! These people should get the food additives out of their diets, and start wondering why their 'don't rock the boat' lemming physicians and scientism clerics don't protect them from their handlers- the drug companys that sell the additives that cause the illnesses that feed the physicians and push the drugs that make things worse but in mass provide enough placebo that people get better inspite of illness and reduced fortunes. Wake up! The 'march for breast cancer'etc.. are a bunch of nonsense . Message: don't worship physicians- do not at all assume that they know what they are talking about or are competent- this may robe you of placebo but we may finally get a treatments that are more than profit motivated fictions. If they weren't foolish or at least person that kind that believes exactly what they are told- how did they graduate from medical school. You would be better off getting medical advice from your pet's doctor. So remember that the people all the wrong instincts who do nothing but try to get the world to conform to their inferiority complexes- they aren't the one's to be paying attention to. Targ is doing something important in leveraging his reputation to help in the effort to steer us away from very destructive models and very very backwards assumptions.

Summary: Speaking as one of the leading esoteric healers
Review: My name is Lily of the Valley Carnie and I am not only one of the leading practioners of esoteric healing methods but also an international author (Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy, and Natural Magick), the world's first post-op transsexual Two-Spirit Shaman, and a Chi Gung master - with over 32 years experience in the field - and I would like to say that this book is not only wonderful but all of the things described in it, as unusual as they may seem, can indeed happen and do happen on a regular basis. I know many of you want concrete eveidence and that's understandable in our left-brained analytical society, but the thing is, the healing methods and esoteric skills presented in this book are right-brained skills. Sure, perhaps many of them could be replicated in a lab, but that's not the point, regardless of what you believe, regardless of how open-minded you might be, there are those of us out here who do this stuff for real. We're the ones who are working with cancer patients and stroke victims and extreme trauma cases. In fact, I have successfully worked with each of those and anything and everything in between ranging from migraines and insomnia to infertility and more extreme cases like I mentioned. Can people transfer thoughts from one to another? Yes. Can one know about what's happening in distant places? Yes. Can healing, even from a distance take place? Yes. And how do I know? Because I work with those types of things daily. It is who I am and what I do. It is my life's work and has been since the age of 5 when I found out not only was I transsexual but also that I would become a healer using a variety of gifts. So go ahead and read this book. The material is true. At least, the things that are stated as being able to happen can indeed happen. And if you doubt, well, so be it. That doesn't stop those of us who live this type of stuff from doing what we need to do and helping those who need help.

Summary: Total Rip Off
Review: Russel Targ and Jane Katra have compiled an excellent book that unites the experimental implications of non-local interaction with the practical applications of spiritual healing. Often we miss the point, believing that spiritual healing has failed if some great cure isn't instant, or believing that magical secret energies must come from a persons hands to heal, or that only certain people ordained by a being of light can be a spiritual healer. This book hopefully dispells those myths. Spiritual healing is for everyone because everyone is a part of this non-local sea of intelligence. Although it may take some practice to become great at it, it is a dormant ability in everyone.It is not about curing a disease, or "fighting" illness, but about resonating with a fellow human being, and serving as an open channel to the infinite for the greatest good.
