reality bizarres the standard

December 1st, 2007 by Sean“The Ultimate Time Machine”

I’ve been on vacation the past week, soaking up some rays with my mom in Florida. Before leaving for the trip, I purchased the book The Ultimate Time Machine by Joseph McMoneagle. By the end of the trip, I had finished the book (and actually started on another one which I’m now half-way through).

Well… I hate to be a nay-sayer… but the book is pretty terrible.

It starts off with McMoneagle’s history in remote viewing, and his work with the STARGATE program. No problems so far - I had already known McMoneagle to be a reliable and accurate remote viewer from my past research. From what I can tell, McMoneagle can accurately use remote viewing to psychically receive information on military targets. So, with that knowledge, you might think the rest of the book would be a great read… Well. No.

The book first starts to go sour with McMoneagle’s understanding of “time”. First he asserts that there is no past, and that we create the past in the present with our beliefs. But then he asserts that there is an objective past, that we can access using remote viewing. Well - does the past exist, or doesn’t it? Clearly the answer is that there is an objective past, and there is also society’s current understanding of that past. While society might be wrong, that doesn’t actually alter the objective past. McMoneagle struggles with this simple concept for some reason, and he constantly confuses society’s current understanding of the past, with the actual objective past.

But whatever… maybe I just don’t get what he’s trying to say. Ok, fair enough. I kept reading.

The second half of the book is dedicated solely to McMoneagle’s predictions for the future. The book was written in 1998, so I was especially curious if McMoneagle would talk about any terrorist attacks on 9/11, the Iraq war, or global warming. At one point he does mention a war in the Middle East, but he predicts the war will be a result of Hussein invading Iran.

Here are some other predictions:

1. In 2005, temporary tattoos (made with a special kind of dye) will be the new fad.

2. In 2002, male pattern baldness will be fully eradicated, via some magic pill.

3. Fully automated, or computer controlled highways, will be tested by 2005.

4. Before 2001, a country in the Middle East will suffer a biological warfare accident, resulting in the death of nearly 100,000 people, and permanent abandonment of a large city.

5. In 2008, the standard RAM in a computer will be 128 MB.

6. Between 2005-2008, a new form of clothing style, consisting of a jumpsuit with colors on the shoulders, will be ushered in.

7. By the year 2010, the SATs will “go the way of the dinosaurs.” (p.146)

8. By the year 2019, the average student will be scoring the max on the SATs, and they won’t matter anymore. (p.239)

Er wait…

Yes that’s right. McMoneagle contradicts his own predictions. First the SATs will disappear, then 9 years later they will be getting maxed out.

The majority of McMoneagle’s predictions happen decades in the future. But judging by his accuracy so far, I honestly won’t be holding my breath.

I feel conflicted, because part of me really respects McMoneagle’s remote viewing training and talent. However, I really can’t let this book slide. His predictions are… terrible. Don’t bother reading this book. Sorry.

   Thats horrible. I heard he was amazing and did all this stuff but he cant make a few predictions. So is he a fake?

   I highly doubt he’s fake… he just can’t see the future worth a shit ;-P. Who knows though.

   I always thought they were pretty much the same thing. But I hope he’s not fake.

   Ummm… No?

   Guess he never saw 2 Gigs coming

   That prediction is just plain ignorant… I remember having 32 to 64 RAM in most of the machines… Only doubling the amount in 10 years?

   while similar, i’m sure there’s some level of difference between RVing a current target and RVing through time. just because he’s failed at one doesn’t mean he wasn’t good at the other.

   sorry im drunk but i think it’s funny to believe the words of others without SOME objective proof.

   well… he tried. And weren’t henna tattoos a fad for a while?

    Wow. That is bad. Well at least his predictions aren’t vague.

    I’ve been told that Opening to the Infinite by Stephan A. Schwarz, who is also a remote viewer, is a good read. Maybe that would have been a better choice.

    books.. bleh… i try to stay away from them.. bad for your health

    but the future is an ever changing thing, i admit.. his predictions are pretty out there.. but still .. it could have been an alternate future.
    the only way to see the future is to see it and forget what you saw, continue as if nothing happened.. he made a book.. thats all it takes to take an alternate path right?
    i dont know.. just thinking about all of the angles

    Ok, time to downgrade…

    Apparently he’s just not good at predictions of the future. Shame. On the other hand, I’m not too great at it either, but I can predict a few things with decent accuracy. Usually no more than a couple days before it happens, but I don’t pretend to be better than I am.

    hmm the only thing i can predict is where are the mines in minesweeper with out calculating there exact points but i need to practice more =S, well anyways i agree with Dash its possible that the future has changed but not just because of Joe, I’m sure there are a lot of pyschic’s altering the future so who knows how badly it will change. oh and i have this book SIGHNED by Joe Mcmonagle haven’t read it yet i have a couple of others i need to read first but i’ll just put a pass on it for now. Oh and Sean you should right a review on Journeys out of the body, I read it too and i loved it =D we should get more people to read it =DD
