"Schwartz compelling and cogent book is new evidence that the thinking and writing on things psychic hasattained a maturity that commands the most serious attention Schwartz mature intelligence doubles the fascination of his material. But the true importance of his book lies in his closing philosophical-historical analysis of modern materialist science approaching crisis, its resistance to the mysteries of the psychic dimension paradoxically hastening a new world view even more revolutionary in its impact than Einsteins physics."

Publishers Weekly

"This fascinating book reveals the loneliness on the frontiers of knowledge. Schwartz should appeal to the bravely open-minded..."

Wilton Dillon, Smithsonian Institution

"The best book on the subject and a shot in the arm to archaeologistsSchwartz psychic key to the secret vaults should air a lot of history and exorcise some specters."

"Stephan Schwartz has written one of the most compelling books which has come to my attention for a long timeIt is a delight to read him."

"This book is a seminal development. I recommend it unhesitatingly."

"This book heralds a very great transition in the development of psychic research. It should be read by anyone who wants a better understanding of the implications of such research for the future of science."

The three books in this series, The Secret Vaults of Time, The Alexandria Project, and Mind Rover: Explorations with Remote Viewing comprise the bulk of my experimental research, as well as the intellectual lineage from whence it springs. Each volume is complete within itself. However, they are also a trilogy. Each explores the practical application of Remote Viewing, a mysterious human ability to know things in spite of being shielded from that knowledge by time or space, or both.

Volume OneThe Secret Vaults of Time: Tells the stories of researchers from around the world who over a century prior to my involvement successfully located and reconstructed archaeological sites using Remote Viewing. These are the documented stories of researchers and Remote Viewers, the sites they found, and the reconstructions they described. It is from this lineage that my own work in archaeological Remote Viewing sprang.

Volume TwoThe Alexandria Project In the Fall of 1995, a combined French-Egyptian archaeological team working in the Eastern Harbor of Alexandria, Egypt announced they had discovered the palace of Cleopatra, the remains of the Lighthouse of Pharos, and many other sites. It created the next day is headlines, and ongoing media coverage. The work is fascinating, important, and worthy of the attention it has received. What it is not, for the most part though is original discovery. Sixteen years earlier, in 1979, The Mobius Society had surveyed the harbor, and discovered the same sites, and many of the same artifacts.

What followed, and what is happening now, provides a case study in how science and the media deal with things they can not explain, do not like for ideological reasons, yet which they can not make go away, because they are authentic, and because strong popular interest will not be denied. The Alexandria Project is the true story of how researchers from five universities and organizations put the claims of Remote Viewing to the ultimate test: Was it is possible under rigorously controlled conditions for some part of human consciousness to direct us to lost chapters and places in history? Were the sites where the Remote Viewers marked them on their maps? Were the artifacts they described at those sites actually there?

A second test was also carried out: comparing the relative accuracy of information derived from traditional remote sensing, in this case side-scan sonar, and proton precession magnetometer, with information provided by Remote Viewing. This book, and the papers, and film record that accompany it, have lain dormant as a kind of time capsule, awaiting some independent confirming or disproving event. That event, in the form of the Franco- Egyptian expeditions reports has now happened, and it is possible in this newly revised edition to look back on both the skeptics and the research they criticized and make a determination as to who was correct. In both the generalities and specifics the second expedition has confirmed the claims of the first.

Volume ThreeMind Rover. Explorations with Remote Viewing: The final volume of the series is comprised of the actual research papers I presented at various scientific conferences over almost 20 years. This work, carried out on both land and sea, in the United States, Egypt, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, with the help of dozens of specialists from universities and institutions around the world, represents a unique body of exploratory science. Many of these reports include comparisons between Remote Viewing and a variety of electronic remote sensing technologies, and demonstrate that Remote Viewing has proven capable of producing results when other approaches have failed.

Together the three books argue for the replacement of the materialist/physicalist view of the world, offering in its stead, a world view in which all consciousness is inter-connected and interdependent. Here are some of the defining parameters of the materialist world view:

1. The mind is solely the result of physiologic processes;
2. Each consciousness is a discreet entity;
3. No communication is possible except through the defined physiologic senses;
4. Consciousness dwells entirely within the time/space continuum.

This way of looking at the world is till the dominant perspective, but it is being challenged by an interdependent paradigm that is emerging. Some of its principal hallmarks are:

1. Only certain aspects of the mind are the result of physiologic processes;
2. Consciousness is causal, and physical reality is it manifestation;
