The Time Before the Secret Words: On the path of Remote Viewing, High Strangeness and Zen

I. Enjoys learning about the author's experience and remote viewing. Good insight about some of the things going on around us.

John Vivanco is a wondrously deep, profound spiritual seeker, thinker, and communicator. Neither birth nor death are beginnings nor ends. They're transitions. Ultimately this book is a personal quest of not-self, and letting go. The RV aspects add exciting intrigue. Weve died, and been born countless times. Birth, and death are quite illusory in nature commanding profound, prolonged, persistent contemplation. Agonizing pain of body, and spirit is a tough teacher. Welcome it when it comes calling, as it inevitably will, but in the meantime practice its lessons. We all have many lifetimes of them.

John Vivanco's account of his experiences as a remote viewer is as engrossing as it is well written. John's voice shines through in the writing, and the vivid imagery he uses leaves you unwilling to put the book down.A warning to readers of this book who may be new to remote viewing: this book will leave you with a strong desire to dive in and learn how to practice remote viewing. You will not only be left with a deeper appreciation for psychics, RVers and other spiritual-workers, but will finish this book with a deeper understanding of how remote viewing works. Though I feel compelled to note, this doesn't teach the reader how to remote-view but provides a great introduction to the philosophy behind it. I suggest following the author's website, [...] to look out for RV training opportunities near you if you are looking for a more in-depth guide on how to practice remote viewing.John not only touches on his own life but brings to light intriguing information about our own government, spies, secret treasure, and other remote-viewing related events that may be happening right under your nose. A true must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in psychics or remote viewing.

I left this book on my shelf for quite a time, but have finally finished reading it.I have been fascinated by Remote Viewing ever since the Art Bell show of the '90s. I really enjoyed this book... John Vinaco doesn't try to explain RV very much; most of the book recounts his experiences being an RVer working on different projects. He is also a practitioner of Zen and relates it to the world of Remote Viewing.If you're interested in Remote Viewing, you would benefit from and enjoy this story.

I have been watching his series Chronicles of a psychic spy on edge of wonder.tvI immediately got the impression that he was uniquely his own man and decided to check out his book as a result. The book bogs down a little bit here and there, but that’s probably me more than the writer. I think you will enjoy this book as I did.

This book shared a variety of ways remote viewing can be used through page turning cases. It clearly describes how an individual internal reality can evolve as they dive deeper into this method. Finally it discusses the external aspects he and his groups had to deal with because yes they can view anything and that can threaten powerful organizations.

Best book I have read in a long time! Loved it! The author writes about his experiences as a remote viewer. Each page is more interesting than the last.

I thoroughly appreciated the candor and honesty of the experiences shared in this book. I imagine it took a tremendous amount of bravery in today's day and age to be so forthright in sharing uncommon experiences. I have been recommending this book to everyone interested in the so called paranormal (probably more normal than we realize). Thank you to John Vivanco for his enlightening and intriguing book.

Was not wanting the book to end was intrigued all the way to the very end of the book. Highly recommended that you watch John Vivenco on rise tv.

If you have been an explorer of brainwaves, theta and delta states of awareness along with a host of other meditation practices this book is for you. If you think that there is more to this reality than can be seen this book is also for you. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. People like this author are the pioneers of what human awareness is capable of and like all pioneers they are the ones with the arrows in their backs. Great book!

I was surprised at just how amazing this book was. It’s really well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve never done remote viewing before and knew very little about it prior to reading this but it expanded my worldview in a profound way. Loved it!

It was a very good read. Interesting topic for sure and incredible stories but they were all very vague. He talks very briefly about how much he knows about huge esoteric mysteries and extraterrestrial life and ancient civilisations but then he just doesn't reveal anything. It's a memoir more than anything and it is a good read but not what I was expecting.It also jumps around quite randomly.

A personal take into the journey of Remote Viewing and the outside counter forces that don't want you to look. Page turning. Highly recommend
