Relying on their strengths--he a pioneering physicist and she a highly respected spiritual healer--Targ and Katra reveal scientific evidence and gripping stories to prove the innate psychic power of the human mind. This collaboration first began when Katra helped Targ miraculously cure himself of metastatic cancer. Skeptics will probably find themselves impressed by the thoroughness of Targ's research as well as his highly plausible conclusions. For example, Targ reveals for the first time the startling results of declassified CIA experiments in psychic spying during the Cold War. Believers in spiritual healing will find support in Katra's impressive credentials and rich storytelling. The authors share a gift for engaging but spare prose, which makes for highly palatable reading, despite the density of ideas and information. --Gail Hudson

Total Rip Off (2001-10-21)
Targ has turned a common preliminary misdiagnosis into a pseudo-religious platform for promoting himself and exploiting the subject of cancer and healing. He has openly admitted that his so called initial diagnosis was quickly reversed, not because of any spiritual practice but because his doctors were uncertain of their initial findings. When the tentative diagnosis was not confirmed in a subsequent test, Targ boldly claimed that a miracle had happened. As much as he glosses over this critical fact in this sleazy and overblown volume, it is a familiar kind of problem to those of us who deal with the issue of cancer diagnosis everyday. The only miracle here is that Targ found a publisher and an audience gullible enough to believe in his scam. He should be ashamed of himself but is probably as comfy with his guru-dom as Ira Einhorn. If anyone is stupid enough to believe in this nonsense, let us hope they are not also stupid enough to ignore the advice of qualified medical professionals. This book is an insult to those of us working on real research to relieve the suffering of those who really do have cancer. It is also an insult to those brave souls who live quietly with their disease and did not get sick as Targ and Katra imply because they were not spiritually advanced enough to overcome a true illness that knows no morality and takes no prisoners.
Spiritual Healing Is For Everyone (2001-06-02)
Russel Targ and Jane Katra have compiled an excellent book that unites the experimental implications of non-local interaction with the practical applications of spiritual healing. Often we miss the point, believing that spiritual healing has failed if some great cure isn't instant, or believing that magical secret energies must come from a persons hands to heal, or that only certain people ordained by a being of light can be a spiritual healer. This book hopefully dispells those myths. Spiritual healing is for everyone because everyone is a part of this non-local sea of intelligence. Although it may take some practice to become great at it, it is a dormant ability in everyone.It is not about curing a disease, or "fighting" illness, but about resonating with a fellow human being, and serving as an open channel to the infinite for the greatest good.
A wonderful tribute to the powers of the mind (2000-07-21)
This hybrid work covers the phenomenon of spiritual healing from both a scientific (Rusell's) and a personal/subjective (Katra's) experience. The scientific part of the book will not convince anyone who is still in denial about the existence of psi phenomena, as it doesn't discuss hard statistical data and parapsychological methodology. If that is what you are looking for, read Radin's "The Conscious Universe" instead. However, for the reader who has accepted the reality of psi phenomena, but wants to learn more, it gives a good introduction to the recent history of parapsychological research, and to what this research has taught us about the factors that affect psi performance.
For me however, the highlight of the book is Katra's part. Her deeply personal, moving account of healing people through spiritual means has an immensely uplifting quality, and it is because of that that I particularly recommended this book to people who are suffering from a chronic illness. This might help them to keep up hope, or to regain it if lost.
Cancer (2000-06-01)
Listen very carefully to the cancer complainers, they talk about qualified 'medical professionals': Do they exist! These people should get the food additives out of their diets, and start wondering why their 'don't rock the boat' lemming physicians and scientism clerics don't protect them from their handlers- the drug companys that sell the additives that cause the illnesses that feed the physicians and push the drugs that make things worse but in mass provide enough placebo that people get better inspite of illness and reduced fortunes. Wake up! The 'march for breast cancer'etc.. are a bunch of nonsense . Message: don't worship physicians- do not at all assume that they know what they are talking about or are competent- this may robe you of placebo but we may finally get a treatments that are more than profit motivated fictions. If they weren't foolish or at least person that kind that believes exactly what they are told- how did they graduate from medical school. You would be better off getting medical advice from your pet's doctor. So remember that the people all the wrong instincts who do nothing but try to get the world to conform to their inferiority complexes- they aren't the one's to be paying attention to. Targ is doing something important in leveraging his reputation to help in the effort to steer us away from very destructive models and very very backwards assumptions.
A spell-binding book (2000-04-28)
Russell Targ shares his personal experiences with remote-viewing experiments at Stanford Research Institute, and includes fascinating photos and sketches that show the amazing accuracy remote viewers have frequently demonstrated. Jane Katya shares her personal experiences with healing touch, and how she came to work in the field of healing using Therapeutic Touch. Targ and Katya gracefully take the reader from their real-life stories to the current physical theories which can best explain non-local healing and viewing. This book is spell-binding, since it so carefully examines seemingly inexplicable phenomena from a very down-to-Earth point of view. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in enriching their lives through remote viewing and healing.
