About the Author

After writing Psychic Warrior, Dr. Morehouse formed Remote Viewing Technologies in 1997, a company originally designed to train police officers in the art and science of Remote Viewing.

In early 1998, Dr. Morehouse began training civilians in the exact military protocols and standards to which he was trained in the Remote Viewing unit, circa 1987 to 1990. To date, well over 11,000 students have been trained in the United States, Europe and other far-reaching parts of the globe.

Dr. Morehouse's Remote Viewing students find their way to him from a range of diverse backgrounds. He lectures and educates across the spectrum of human interests. His students include (but are not limited to) medical doctors, researchers in science, medicine and technology, engineers, homemakers, physicists, students, artists, and alternative practitioners.

His teachings and writings have been especially appreciated in Europe where his reputation and his evolving humanistic philosophies have earned him countless accolades in the European Press where he is routinely described as “one of Europe’s leading new metaphysicians.”


Biography, DAVID A. Morehouse, PH.D.

Dr. DAVID MOREHOUSE has had an extremely diverse life, which in the words of his superiors, essentially began with a notable military career. He held a Regular Army commission in the United States Infantry and is a Distinguished Military Graduate and a Dr Ralph D. Mershon Award winner, designating him as the top cadet commissioned into the Regular Army in 1979, amongst 2,800 other potential candidates.

During his tours of duty, Major Morehouse served in many staff and command positions ranging from Airborne rifle Company Commander to Commander of an elite Airborne Ranger Company—he commanded for over four years while the majority of his peers commanded only eighteen months. He was Aide de Camp to two army generals, the Battalion Executive Officer (second in command) of the 680 men of the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, as well as being the Chief of Training for the 13,500 men and women of the 82nd Airborne Division.

From 1987 to 1991, he was assigned to several highly classified special access programs in the US Army’s Intelligence Security Command and the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Science and Technology as a top secret Psychic Spy. An Army Ranger, Master Parachutist, Pathfinder, Scuba Diver and Special Operations Soldier, his distinctive military skills place him in a select group of army officers. He holds a Master of Military Art and Science Degree, a Masters degree in Administration, and a Doctorate in Education. The recipient of numerous military awards and decorations, his last assignment was to have been with the Chief of Staff of the Army’s elite “Study Group” as the non-lethal weapons expert.

Despite being designated by his superiors as “Destined to wear stars,” he resigned his commission in 1995 after his decision to write Psychic Warrior—his resignation ended eighteen years of exemplary and honorable military service.In the eight years since he resigned, Morehouse has written three books: Psychic Warrior: Inside the CIA’s STARGATE Program, Nonlethal Weapons: War Without Death, and The Deceivers, his first work of fiction. The latter—The Deceivers—was recently purchased by Paramount Pictures as a feature film with Mace Neufeld producing and Simon West directing. Psychic Warrior is an international bestseller published in 14 languages. Universal Pictures is presently developing a feature film based on David’s life story, as recounted in Psychic Warrior, to be titled Comes the Watcher. Nonlethal Weapon: War Without Death, is considered an academic work and has met with much critical acclaim in the world of strategic planners.

Dr. Morehouse has twice lectured at the Mikhail Gorbachev Foundation’s State of the World Forum on issues concerning global peace and alternative methods of conflict resolution. In 1999, a committee of scientists and educators from the United States and Europe nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in the category of “Alternative Sciences.”

Gangster - I posted that trailer a few weeks ago when we were discussing hollywood being a little left of center. I laughed my ass off when i first saw it and the first thing i thought of was when they were all talking about the Holistic training in the mid 80s at 10th. I sent it around to a bunch of old 10th grp friends and it was also the first thing they thought of - I shipped elsewhere before it started but i vividly remember the initial discussions/rumors.

Unlike these wackos Echanis had "kinetic energy" behind his fighting style.

Remote Viewing sounds great, until you're facing a few hundred heavily armed charging taliban, then I'm sure the crackpots are more than happy to leave the fighting to real warriors.;)

I'm surprised the individuals using "Remote Viewing" didn't see hollywood was going to make them, and the Army one big "joke".

...perhaps with the jokes might come some REAL questions and honest dialogue.

"Comes a story so unbeliavable...it must be true"

Commendable form of logic.

I was there...
 
I was Team SGT of 055 who was the "Control team" for the program. After several weeks they had comparison tests, after the second testing, they picked another "Control Team", We thought it funny at the time. Guess they didn't acquire the anticipated results.

We spent a lot of time at the "Dojo"... read a lot of books, and never once stared at a goat... although there were a couple of the C/2 Scuba guys who might have qualified... I had more bruises from those stupid kendo swords than I care to think about.

I learned a few good techniques to relax and focus, but I'm not sure my efficiency as an SF soldier increased that much. SGM "Joe" was not enthused with the way it threw off the training schedules once the Jedi Program was implemented.
