Third Eye Spies: Learn Remote Viewing from the Masters

By Russell Targ and Paul H. Smith

“Russell Targ’s Third Eye Spies is a masterwork in the history and practice of remote viewing.” —Dean Radin, MS, PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Real Magic and other books
 
Explore the evidence of psychic powers and learn the skills of remote viewing from the masters for yourself.
 
Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to tap into their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded a CIA-sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. The program yielded such incredible results as the description of a secret Russian weapons factory in Siberia and the location of several kidnapped US officials, including the ambassador to Iran. The founders also trained six Army intelligence officers to create an Army psychic corps that became known as Stargate.

Third Eye Spies will introduce you to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, the past, and the future.

Targ shares the simple techniques masters of remote viewing use to expand the mind’s eye beyond one’s physical location. With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.

Russell Targ

Russell Targ is a physicist and author who has devoted much of his professional career to the research of the human capacity for psychic ability. In 1972, he co-founded the Stanford Research Institute's federally-funded program that investigated psychic abilities in humans. The program provided invaluable information and techniques to various government intelligence agencies, including the DIA, the CIA, NASA, and Army Intelligence. In his ten years with the program, Targ co-published his findings in some of the most prestigious scientific journals. He is the co-author, with Jane Katra, of five books about psychic abilities, two of which are: Miracles of Mind: Exploring Non-local Consciousness & Spiritual Healing, and The Heart of the Mind: How to Experience God Without Belief (both New World Library.). Targ was also quite active in the development of the laser and its various applications, having written over fifty articles on advanced laser research. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and has received two NASA awards for inventions and contributions in laser and laser communications. Recently retiring from his position as senior staff scientist at Lockheed Martin, Targ now devotes his time to ESP research and offering workshops on remote viewing and spiritual healing. He lives in Palo Alto, California.

Book preview

"Russell Targ's Third Eye Spies is a masterwork in the history and practice of remote viewing. I can sympathize with those who find it difficult to believe that our awareness can transcend the everyday limits of space and time. It sounds like a fantasy. But having known and worked directly with many of the people mentioned in this book, I know firsthand that what Targ describes in this book is both true and accurate. I recommend Third Eye Spies to anyone interested in learning about the modern rediscovery of a fascinating human ability."

—Dean Radin, MS, PhD, chief scientist at the

Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of

Real Magic and other books

"Third Eye Spies was written by Russell Targ, who is a gem and a noted expert in exploring expanding levels of consciousness. In this fascinating book, he shares with readers how some of the most gifted remote viewers of our time use their intuition. I love the photos and diagrams of how remote viewing works, so readers can get a hands-on feel for ways to use it in their own lives. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to develop their intuitive gifts."

—Judith Orloff, MD, psychiatrist and

New York Times bestselling author of Second Sight

Russell provides friendly and—more importantly—easy guidance for people who have never tried remote viewing before and want to take their first steps.

—Paul H. Smith, PhD (Major, US Army, ret.)

Russell Targ is one of the small group who successfully demonstrated remote viewing and is one of its masters. If you are interested in remote viewing, you should pay close attention to anything he has to say on the subject.

—Stephan A. Schwartz, author of Opening to the Infinite

"Remote viewing has been the most exciting development in parapsychology in my own and my colleagues' work in the last fifty years. It's not just intellectually exciting, it has often been a practical application of ESP helping real intelligence agencies like the CIA gather information that wasn't available otherwise. When people ask me where to go for accurate, serious, and fascinating reading about remote viewing, Russell Targ's books, such as Third Eye Spies, are always at the top of my recommendations list."

—Charles Tart, professor, University of California, Davis,

and author of States of Consciousness and

Open Mind, Discriminating Mind

Using simple language and just enough facts and stories so the reader knows this is the real deal, Russell tells the story of how he found the path to his destiny despite not being able to see the yellow brick road under his feet! But Russell also talks of time and casualty, using the clear language of laser physics which he pursued for thirty years. As Russell says, there is no separation between out-of-body experiences and remote viewing, just a long hallway of possibilities, ready and waiting for someone to try it out. Russell's book gives me a picture of how to do it.

—David Gladstone, San Francisco historian

FOR PATTY,

with all my love and heartfelt gratitude for her love,

support, and encouragement through this and all

my writing—and the other mishegoss of my

eighty-eighth year.

AND FOR:

Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen,

who were the first courageous physicists to point out to us

that quantum theory requires entanglement and

spooky action at a distance.

Psi is not a set of special categories defined by telepathy, clairvoyance, OOB, and precognition, but rather it is a broad spectrum of capabilities—super faculties—latent in us all. These capabilities give rise to our unlimited human potential.

— INGO SWANN

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

It is my pleasure to thank my dear friend, Judy Chadderdon, without whose help through hours on the phone, this book would not exist. She found thoughtful and imaginative ways to turn my collection of chapter outlines into something that a publisher might consider worth publishing. Thank you with all my heart.

I also want to thank my longtime friend and colleague, Stephan Schwartz, for contributing his thoughtful remembrances of his interactions with our great psychics and friends Ingo Swann and Hella Hammid.

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove for his many thoughtful interviews of me during this past year. These searching interviews stimulated me to gather all my notes to write what has turned out to be my personal history of teaching remote viewing.

Above all, I want to express my deep appreciation to Hella Hammid, Pat Price, Ingo Swann, Joe McMoneagle, and Gary Langford, who all generously contributed their powerful and unique psychic gifts to the
