All that it will take is the abandonment of the ideologies of the twentieth century which were intolerant of and totally misguided regarding such research -- ideologies already on their way out, and which anyway were never very important in most non-Western nations.
I have determined that no one else will, or can, present the American remote viewing epoch in the light of the species level of the superpowers.
That epoch will be interpreted in lesser ways, according to particular agendas and particular ignorance and stupidities regarding what was really involved.
And, this is my ultimate reason for writing this book.
The narrative of the real and detailed story of remote viewing begins ahead in chapter 4.
I have utilized the first three chapters to present certain background materials which need to be isolated and dealt with, and which I’d rather not spread throughout the narrative itself.
Remote viewing came about because of sets of CIRCUMSTANCES which literally sucked people into participating in them.
Most of those circumstances, both big and small, ran across a spectrum of unexpected and astonishing to dumbfounding. Most of them practically came out of nowhere, and most of them left a trail of successes and skeletons in closets.
No one could have predicted hardly any of those strange circumstances, least of all myself. But their unfolding became apparent to me quite early, and gave me cause to reflect on what circumstances actually consist of.
As the years passed, I got somewhat good at predicting the unfoldment of some circumstances -but only because I had undertaken a long-term philosophical consideration of what circumstances actually consist of.
