THE WARRIOR'S EDGE

by John B.; Richard Groller & Janet Morris Alexander ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 16, 1990

A self-realization guide that reads like the world according to G. Gordon Liddy. Drawing on so-called psychotronic research conducted by Western governments as well as in Socialist Bloc states, the authors--a retired Green Beret colonel (Alexander), a math whiz who spent 11 years in military intelligence (Groller), and a science fiction novelist (Morris: Beyond the Veil, 1985, etc.)--offer how-to-succeed counsel in a paranormal vein. In brief, their premise is that yesteryear's priest (shorn of spiritualism and properly trained) can become ""the techno-shaman of today, a psychic warrior capable of using the tools of science to reveal the secrets hidden within the human mind."" On the evidence of the deadly earnest text, the tools of the Ubermensch trade encompass the oddly coupled likes of biofeedback, clairvoyance, intuitive decision-making, martial arts, mind control, psychokinesis, reality mapping, remote viewing, and telepathy. While at pains to insist heightened powers and perceptions should be exercised with appropriate restraint, the authors do not shy from explaining how to employ physical mirroring or a wealth of allied techniques to influence (i.e., manipulate) others in face-to-face meetings. A pretentious survey of consciousness-raising possibilities that's close to the edge, if not actually over the brink and into the Twilight Zone.
