I met Joe McMoneagle, one of the remote viewers who participated in the Stargate program in the US defense department. He has written a book which details the time he spent in the program and the work that was done. He could not publish the book until after the information had been declassified in 1995, and, at that, he could only publish events that were declassified.

Remote viewing involves selecting a "target" in any place or time and "viewing" the target by intentional visualization. There are specific techniques that were developed during the Stargate program to help improve the accuracy of the viewings and to help those who showed promise to fine tune their remote viewing skills.

The work that was done, according to Mr. McMoneagle, included viewings of specific target locations (like inside of a building), locating people (including hostages and captured agents), viewing events before or after they had occured, reading license plates and letters from a distance, and associative remote viewing (which is a predictive tool).

The defense department claims to have ended the program due to it's lack of practical uses for intelligence agencies. Being skeptical that the defense department is completely honest and forthcoming with all public information, I personally have doubts about whether the program has ended, but McMoneagle could not speak about those issues.

Since the program was in place for over 20 years, and since it employed a number of people to perform these tasks during that time, they apparently saw some value in the work that was being done.

Remote viewing lends itself to controlled testing better than most Psi phenomenon, and besides the government work that has been done, a number of people have been very successful in demonstrating this skill in controlled environments. In particular, experiments were carried out at Stanford University to examine this phenomenon (link below). Thanks for the question!

im wanting to find out about my past lifes but not sure how to go about it anyone ever done this ?

Check out www.clairvision.org a meditation school founded by Dr Samuel Sagan. He trains past life therapists.
He also teaches a method to see and experience a past life to anyone who can afford a modest fee. Good luck.

Would somebody responding to a statement or criticism by saying "You're just jealous" be an example of this?

The classic example of cognitive dissonance is…"you purchase a Ford and after doing so, think that you should have purchased the Toyota instead."

Now, whether such result is based upon others attempting to persuade you to behave in a way to justify their belief systems is considered "manifestation of cognitive dissonance."

Yes, the statement "you are just jealous" could be such an example. It would also be the case if you did purchase the Ford and your friend said, "…Oh, why did you do that. The Toyota is much better. I own one." (But, if and only if such intent was present.) Else, "…sometimes a cigar is just a cigar…"

I was browsing this website:
http://www.theholographicmind.com/index.html

and came across some binaural beats for meditation and subliminal messages. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with either of these, and how well they work.

I'm fairly certain that binaural beats are great for meditation, but its the ability of subliminal message cd's to actually change a person's character that I'm skeptic about.

Has anyone ever changed a behavior after working with subliminal messages?

My husband made me a cd of binaural beats with some calming music to go to meditate to and another to sleep by. They worked in giving me very deep sleep and also letting my mind sort of roam free. I bought him a tibetan singing bowl recently and the tones of the bowl when you strike it are reminiscent of binaural beats, and also create a meditative state of mind.

I don't know about the subliminal messages.

Can anybody help find the title of this book???
Many years ago (perhaps 25), I read a paperback novel that I'm trying to find.
It was about a girl who was abducted by a cult. The father began investigating and found that the cult leader was an expert in astral projection. The father then goes to a master who teaches the father all about astral projection.
The father tracks the cult leader and in a very supernatural ending, he does an astral projection battle with the cult leader, where they both inhabit inanimate objects around them and use the inanimate objects to do physical battle. If one can cut the other's 'silver threat' that connects the astral self to the physical body, the physical body that has been cut off will die. At one point, the cult leader, for example, inhabits a teddy bear and brandishes a knife to try to cut the astral connection of the father.
The cover of the old paperback had a teddy bear with glowing red eyes, holding a knife.

I did some research on this and it looks like it might be the book called Double Trouble by Barthe DeClements–though you didn't mention anything about twins, the review does talk about astral projection and the cult. It was also first published in 1988 but the cover of the book wasn't available for me to see. It's considered a Young Adult book. Hope this helps.

I can't seem to find a site with loads of drawings to browse.Can you help me?

Maybe you are talking about Dr. John Dee's experiment. Here are some links:

[EDIT:]
LOL, Denie, 10x! It was a great year - I turned from a cat into a baby then I grew up like a few years in just two weeks!
Talking about 'para-normal' abilities!

May the New 2008 be a great one for us all!

Ae you curious about your past lives? Do you think you can bring some knowledge, personality traits, etc from a past life?

I do and yet I dont,if that makes sense.When someone is being regessed who is to say that what they are experiencing is actual events from a past life or simply the subconcious recalling passages from books that have retained in the mind!
I would personally like to be regressed in order to test out this theory.

How do you start revival at a college campus? And experience the manifestation of the Holy Spirit?

Every true Revival came when a few people determined that they would pray and not relent until God answered and sent revival. Such prayer is not known in this generation because we want everything now. It is intense prayer accompanied with deep personal sorrow for ones own sin and weeping for the souls of those in and out of Christ who are not obedient and willing servants of the Lord.

It takes a rare individual indeed who is willing to sacrifice all that revival may come in his or her generation no matter what the location. I will guarantee you that you will be judged wrong and misunderstood by many because of your zeal for the cause of Christ and the salvation of souls if you decide to seek God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength until He rains down revival on you and those around you. If you keep your focus on God and prevail no cost will be too great!

Do they really work?
Because a site hands them out for money, and it seems from what people have done say that they felt stuff.
But then others say that what they're feeling is just a "Placebo."

PLEASE do not answer straight out of opinion, facts would be REAL nice

Thanks!

Yes, as a matter of fact they work very well. Brain surgeons entrain their patients during operation using the same exact theory. It is a very effective means of manipulating the mind, and can as such be very dangerous if performed incorrectly.

I've been studying astral projection for 3 months or so, but what I achieve is something different. I suddenly lose control of my body and pause like a catationic as if I were hypnotized, and I cannot take over myself for a short moment; though I don't get any visions or nothing. I think I am having some sort of bilocation, but I really need help to use that to my advantage, instead of worrying those around me with those pauses.

Thanks!

Astral projection is a mix of hypnotizing yourself and meditation , so what happened was completely natural , you shouldn't worry about it .

Astral projection can be healthy , you will be relaxed after your stressful day , and you can learn how to control your mind .

you shouldn't get any visions because you should feel not see . ( it's normal to see darkness because you closed your eyes LOL)

your "soul" isn't going anywhere , it's all in your mind .

~Take care !
