Good story. Outsized ego.

Any additional comments?

There were some intriguing details but the author's ego kept getting in the way, like he had a continuous need to beat his chest about how exceptional he is. Whatever. Let's get back to the story. I still recommend it.

Interesting, but...spend your credit elsewhere

The information is a rehash of other Remote Viewing books better told elsewhere. This title has some value but you need to overlook the massive ego. If you were to take the issues at face value Dames personally saved the world from the Soviet communist threat (Really? I thought there were a few others involved), was a "water-walker" (hmm, but still a major when he retired), had the ear of the president (his words) though he says he never communicated with any president (again, his words...maybe he just forgot), and the list goes on. Frankly, he does a disservice to his colleagues and the military in general because we only needed hin, and his analysis, to solve any world problem. Read McMoneagle or Morehouse for more objective and in-depth discussion of RV.

Unbelievably Fantastic!!

I was sad when the book ended! Thank you Major Ed Dames, for spreading the data, methodology, and fascinating experiences with RV. The mind and soul are truly capable portals. Excellent narration as well.

You may or may not like the style of writing but the subject is fascinating well worth the time and money

The author thinks quite highly of himself!

This is really a long book with little useful content on RV and seems more like his self-amused unverifiable bragging rights.

You should expect about 8 hours of the following: " .. they are so happy to work with ME!"
"... something only I can do."
"...I'm the best Remote Viewer iin the world."

"... Ya, I also single-handedly saved he planet from total disaster more than once... actually quite often, but it's all in a days work, so NP, I do all the time... after a while you get used to it.

I also did RV while in the military for a few demonstrations at Norton AFB, CA between 1984-1991. My experience was quite different and less grandiose. ;-(

The audio quality and narration are both excellent as is the editorial work and proofing.

You may find this book enjoyable is you're interested in a minuscule overview of the RV process, but like one-man hero stories

Now, to be fair and balanced- Ed offers a very decent basic RV training program at his website, which I have sent many people to, and do fully recommend for anyone desiring to get started in a useful and functional method.

It is complete enough that you will become proficient in a matter of weeks to start exploring other RV methods and modalities on your own.

FWIW... A word of caution-
There really are no walls, nor secrets that cannot easily be made known. YES, people can read your mind like an open book. YES, people know know your exact thoughts. YES expensive locks and/or safes cannot keep a good operator from seeing inside and knowing the full contents therein...and more!

HOWEVER, there is a little caveat to all this "snooping around." There are often quite powerful and destructive defenses around certain targets (people and property) that are not kind to prying eyes.

Don't go where you don't belong and don't bite off more than you can chew.

Be careful and be wise!

Cheers

Interesting but...

It doesn't seem like you get any actual information or proof, much less predictions about the future. It still seems a bit scifi, and surprising that if this is actually going on, that the government allows him to talk about it. I was really looking forward to this one, and disappointed that there wasn't much resolve.

Good story, but in weird order

This book seems to be written like the movie pulp fiction, it seems like the Major would tell a story about one thing, then move to a time before that, before finishing the story at a later time... also there was one bad edit, where words were repeated... I was really looking for more of a how to book than a this is what I’ve done book, however I would still buy it again...

Interesting material, less interesting personality

Loved the material presented here. I was familiar with much of it already. Really, I have only 2 complaints: 1. The book did seem to jump around a bit so there were times I had a hard time following it, and 2. toward the half-way point, I started to see things in Maj Dames' personality that I found personally abrasive. I understand based on his description of his early life why those elements came out in his personality but it soured me a little on the book and made it hard to root for him when he was fighting for his career or goals.

shows the public how screwed up the Army really is

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

yes I do. I am retired military and was tested for this job but bowed out due to a supervisor I had

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

standard military crap. jealousy rules the military and its like the boy scouts only lacks adult supervision

Have you listened to any of Stephen Bowlby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes. I think a little more emotions would have helped but its good book

Did Tell Me What You See inspire you to do anything?

I actually already do this.

Any additional comments?

I liked the book. its funny to hear about the denial of the military an its findings.Denial means= Don't Even No I Am Lying..
