HIS FOLLOW-UP BOOK TO ‘COSMIC VOYAGE’
Author Courtney Brown wrote in the first chapter of this 1999 book, “Humanity is at a turning point in its history. Down through the ages, sages in every civilization have said that there is more to life than merely the flesh and bones within which we dwell. We have souls, and physical death is but a blink in our awareness. This concept is easy enough to entertain. This concept is easy enough to entertain. From religious beliefs to reports of life after death, all of us have felt, at one time or another, that there is something beyond our mortal selves. The continuum of life, though, may be vaster than we ever realized For some time many scientists have believed that we are not alone in the universe. Scattered throughout the far reaches of space, other life forms exist. Until recently we have been unable to contact these beings. Yet if we had a method that combined the intuitive perception of the sages with the rigor of modern science, then humans could find their true place in the cosmos.” (Pg. 3-4)
“What needs to be examined is a component of the current ‘scientific’ worldview that maintains that only that which is physical is real. The basis of this relatively new religion of scientific atheism if the belief that consciousness is limited to the physical mind, and that when the brain stops functioning, consciousness ceases to exist… But what if the sages from the past are right? The demise of scientific atheism would cause people everywhere to turn inward, in order to seek that which resides beyond. A new scientific age not divo0rced from the spiritual world would dawn.” (Pg. 4)
He continues, “To accomplish this, a new method, a new tool for exploration, is needed. Based on the explorations of myself and others, I believe such a method exists. This new and surprisingly accurate method of data collection is called ‘remote viewing.’ … People can be trained to use remote viewing to collect information across time and space. Remote viewing is not easy to do, and to use it with consistent accuracy requires extensive training and practice… Remote viewing has its origins in the procedures developed largely by Ingo Swann… in a program that was funded by various United States governmental agencies, notably the Defense Intelligence Agency… The original primary researchers were Russell Targ and Harold Putoff…” (Pg. 4-5)
In Chapter 2, he suggests, “I advise combining the practice of remote viewing with the practice of meditation. The form of meditation that I enjoy is Transcendental Meditation ™, or the more advanced TM-Sidhi Program. My preference is based on the fact that TM is a mechanical procedure, and it has not belief or religious requirement associated with it…” (Pg. 11-12)
Later, he explains, “Nothing is more important in understanding remote-viewing data than the fact that each individual has two separate minds that can function independently to a surprising extent… Readers should examine this chapter closely to learn why it is so difficult to rely on what the viewer thinks he or she has perceived. Unless one is quite skilled in these matters, correct intuitions can be easily sidetracked by incorrect interpretations.”(Pg. 114-115)
He states, “there is absolutely nothing stopping a remote viewer from targeting nonhumans who do not live on this planet. Once you become accustomed to remote viewing, you also become accustomed to the unusual nature of the information that can be obtained. It is not wise to disregard some information as esoteric or unverifiable just because one does not yet have physical corroborating data… In a previous book, ‘Cosmic Voyage…’ I presented remote-viewing data that strongly support the idea that a number of extraterrestrial cultures are interacting with Earth at the current time…’ (Pg. 151-152)
He adds, “If there are Reptilian ETs on and near Earth, what are they doing here? What are their activities, their operations their agenda? Are they interested in the animal life, the human life, the physical resources of the planet… or what? Since we have so few specifics to base a cue, the open-ended approach is optimal in this situation.” (Pg. 186)
He continues, “the following are apparently the case: (1) the Reptilian ET species exists; (2) it is currently involved in a significant military confrontation with another group, possibly the Greys; (3) Earth and humans have been indirectly caught up in this military confrontation; (4) the Reptilians have at last one underground facility on Earth in which both they and a Reptilian/human hybrid species work together; and (5) the Reptilians have some future plan for Earth and humans, although we do not yet know any specifics for this plan.” (Pg. 193)
He recounts, “During the first half of 1997, I obtained information from an unusual but seemingly reliable source that suggested that the Grey ETs might be placing technological objects in a desert location, possibly in the northern United States. The information suggested that the objects may be spherical in shape, and that the U.S. government (or at least part of the government) know about their location. At first I did not think much of this information. I had no way to corroborate it, nor did I understand how it might involve my own activities. If the Greys were placing objects in chosen locations, so be it! … until I was given the following target by a colleague … I took the matter of strategically placed ET technology much more seriously.” (Pg. 225-226)
He recalls, “In late 1996, The Farsight Institute published some remote-viewing data … relating to what appeared to be an interdimensional portal or gateway that was located (at least for a short time) in our solar system near the comet Hale-Bopp. This was soon popularly labeled the ‘Hale-Bopp Companion.’ … a cottage industry seemed to form across the planet. Many people… wanted to see the Companion… As the weeks dragged on with no resolution to the matter, the comet disappeared on the other side of the sun.” (Pg. 233-234)
He states, “This chapter re-examines the issue of Martians still living on Mars. The targe is designed to explore their living conditions, and their general state of security and well-being… With this session we learn not just about the Martians and their current conditions, but about future events which could fatefully alter these conditions,” (Pg. 269-270)
He concludes, “Remote viewing is an introduction to a greater future for our personalities. IT proves that we have the ability to break out of our narrow intellectual confines and to see the universe more as God sees it. When we allow our minds to roam the heavens, we are truly, and literally, seeing with the eyes of God… This is the destiny of infinite positive evolution which flows from our divine heritage.” (Pg. 356-357)

Even if you believe RV (or Channeling), you must be very very careful of what you tell about it...
Both are easily influenced by "exterior forces" and "internal ones" too.
Read as fiction, interpret as possibilities.

by Courtney Brown, published in 1999.
First off the cover of this book splashes the PH.D. after Courtney’s name, just so you know he has the credentials to validate what he speaks of . . .
Um, yeah, okay.
Now I really love these kinds of books, books filled with alien conspiracies, hidden bases and four foot tall “Greys” lurking on the periphery sampling our DNA so they too can survive.
But I like them for what they are, not what they purport to be - the truth. Courtney is selling this urban (cosmic) myth-ology stuff like it is undeniably proven facts using scientific methods.
Which takes us to remote viewing, his invention I think. With this technique our ‘subspace’ (now where have I heard that term before?) souls can observe any object, subject (maybe even verb) or point in time and space be it past, present or future.
Pretty cool stuff - but in my opinion complete poppycock but works well to verify (oye) what Courtney has discovered using this dreamed up technique.
This book is a series of sessions Courtney has done collecting all this fascinating “scientific” information about extraterrestrials, their societies, contacts with Earth’s government in the USA and their hidden agendas.
Does the X-files come to your mind too?
Courtney is a Political Scientist very much interested in societies, so why not stray off into extraterrestrial ones? So by using “remote viewing techniques” he does just this. And he reveals aliens three around us.
First are the Greys, almost pure subspace beings who have genetically manipulated themselves so far they need our stock in DNA to try and regain some balance. They are benevolent and wish to let us fulfil our own destinies even if it leads to our ruin.
Second we have the ancient Martians, very much human in appearance, so much so in fact that they are living right here among us now and will eventually move all of their subterranean population from Cydonia to Earth.
Does you neighbor seem a bit strange to you - well it could be they have recently come over from Mars so give them some slack.
Following all this.
And then the newly discovered Reptilians. Oh, no Mr. Brown - not the evil militant Reptilians. Yes, says Courtney and their plan for us is not pleasant. They are already creating human-reptilian hybrids right now and will eventually dominate the Earth and enslave us - or not.
Oh, almost forgot to mention that remote viewing also sees into other “possible” timelines and alternate worlds so it may just be that what Courtney is seeing is not “our” timeline, but a parallel one. How convenient.
I am convinced this book and “Cosmic Voyages” its predecessor are political science experiments Courtney is playing out. You know, how many book sales, how many people write him with similar beliefs, what countries snap up his ideas.
If you read this book be prepared to find out about the Reptilians cloaked base sitting between Earth and the Moon, secret undermountain bases on Earth accessible by alien ships which can pass through solid rock, Martians, alternate timelines - oh and my personal favorite - the Galactic “Federation” (hmm, another seemingly familiar word) where Buddha plays an active roll in its running - sorry Spock, you are just fiction.
I kid you not - this information is, of course, all scientifically proven through remote viewing . . . (just not sure what channel its on or how late at night you have to stay up to see it . . .)

I originally purchased this book when I was introduced to the concept of Scientific Remote Viewing. I was looking more for a how it works type of thing with perhaps a case study, and seeing the PHD I thought this book would be an OK read.
Although entertaining, this book was a quite out there for even myself. I'm all for topics that are not mainstream, but this is science fiction with an "it's real" explanation. While I do think SRV can and does work in certain situations, this book takes it to a more than unbelievable level.

Contrary to some reviewers here, I think the author showed a great deal of courage writing this. I found him to be honest and credible, I have no doubt that he fully believes what he is writing is the truth to the best of his understanding.
Remote viewing is, as Russel Targ once said, straight out of Patanjales' Yoga Sutras, go inward and all sorts of abilities will be found.
I will definitely read more of this author's work.

Interesting in detail to remote viewing. The alien aspect of the book I approached with some skepticism. I found some of the claims rather anthropocentric and the treatment of the "Grays" somewhat different from what I feel is likely.

Not as well written as Cosmic Voyage
