A few weeks ago I read ‘Limitless Mind’ by Russel Targ. It totally opened my mind up to the subject of remote viewing and the unlimited possibilities of consciousness. It was filled with awesome case studies and facts that blew me away. Here’s one that was pretty cool:

[P86] In the lab, we know that if we show a frightening picture to a person, there will be significant change in his or her physiology. Blood pressure, heart rate and skin resistance will all change. This flight or fight reaction is called an “orienting response”. Researcher Dean Radin at the University of Nevada (now at the Institutue of Noetic Sciences) has shown that this orienting response is also observed in a person’s physiology a few seconds before they see the scary picture. In balanced double-blind experiments, Radin has demonstrated that if experimental subjects are about to see scenes of sexuality, violence or mayhem, their bodies will steel themselves against the surprise, shock or insult. But if the subjects are about to see a picture of a flower garden, there is no such strong anticipatory reaction – even before the picture is randomly selected! Fear is much easier to measure physiologically than bliss.

The blurb about the book:

The psychic abilities of most humans are dampened by the clatter of our conscious minds. In this timely book, Russell Targ draws on the work of ancient mystics and traditions – Gnostic, Christian, Buddhist, Kabalistic Jewish, Sufi, yogi, and especially Hindu spiritual master Patanjali – to show readers how to quiet this noise and see into the far reaches of time and space through remote viewing. This psychic ability offers a path of self-inquiry and self-realization and expands each person’s limited awareness of the consciousness shared by all humans. Targ explores its scientific as well as spiritual implications and offers techniques and exercises to nurture this universal but mostly untapped skill.
