Certain issues are over-emphasized, others which are significant to the real story of remote viewing are avoided or ignored -- usually in favor of creating text which, to them, displays something they think of as scandalous. In the oncoming future, though, remote viewing will not be thought of in the contexts of its past "scandals," and which anyway have been manufactured by idiots of both the stupid and intellectual kind. This author, of course, can hardly be much different from other ones -- except for his living memory of the ENTIRE remote viewing affair. This memory is quite good and vital (so far at least), and is backed up by many file cabinets of documentation. Since this book is the historical record of remote viewing, it needs to contain the documentation regarding why Puthoff and I got together. To begin this, I would like to emphasize that if Hal Puthoff and I had not gotten together, it is COMPLETELY likely that there would be no story to tell. I will next frankly state that without Puthoff, remote viewing would never have come into functional existence and the high visibility it did. I may have been the lean, mean, fighting machine (as many were to discover, including Puthoff).
