  Maybe this has been covered elsewhere, but maybe if it has, there are some authors or books everyone hasn't seen and shared.

  The Occult: The Ultimate Book for Those Who Would Walk With the Gods by Colin Wilson was written 30 years ago, or so.  He's done a lot of work on the subject since this one came out, changed his views on some things, but even on this one I consider Wilson to be the most objective investigator of the occult, metaphysics, mysticism, I've ever encountered.  I recommend this book.

  Beyond the Occult, Colin Wilson, was written much later.  Tells what he's learned during the intervening years.  These two books will addict you to Colin Wilson, but it's an addiction you will love.

  Hokay.  Those are a couple I'd recommend.  If anyone would like to talk about them, or would like to recommend some of their own favorite authors, I'd be interested in knowing what you have to say about them.

  Hi Lotto Mike:

  I haven't lived in AZ since I was a pre-schooler..... lived in Apache Junction in 1946-47.  Liked it fairly well, as I recall. 

  But in those days it wasn't out west.  It was fairly centrally located.  I haven't lived there since it went west.  Lots more people there now.

  I was just re-reading Lyn Buchanan's book on RV.... The Sdventh Sense.  Pretty good book, even in the re-reading.  I'd recommend it.

  The simplest way of explaining it would be to suppose you were here on this thread, but actually reading the Remote Viewing (RV) thread.  You would be remote viewing if you did that.

  Or if your comp were on lottery post but you were reading the links to the RV threads that are posted there, that might be called remote viewing.

  Take away the comp and do the same thing and you'd be remote viewing in the way the people who talk about it here are describing.

  Here's a pretty good book.  It doesn't get into Remote Viewing, but it's a fairly good read:

  Harry Stein, Amazing and Wonderful Mind Machines You Can Build.  It's not about RV, Arizona, or living out west, but even so it manages to be a pretty good book.
