The Ultimate Time Machine

Author: Joseph McMoneagle

A master “remote viewer” looks at the future and delivers up a picture of a world very different from today, but with a message that is hopeful and highly entertaining.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book written by master “remote viewer,” Joe McMoneagle. Remote viewing is the government’s term for psychic vision, but it involves use of specified protocols for “seeing” into other places and other times. The US government once had a program employing remote viewers to look into the weapons of our enemies. McMoneagle was their star performer. In this book, he explains his concept of time and looks forward with a list of highly specific predictions. I’m fascinated with the idea of time travel and hold fast to my belief that it is possible. McMoneagle does not actually travel with his physical body into the past or future, but instead sends his mind. With psychic vision, he seeks out places that do not exist in the here and now.

In his Introduction, he shares with us his view of reality by stating: “This book talks about time: how and why the past can be changed as easily as our clothing; why the present probably doesn’t exist; and how we can manipulate our future.” He adds to this another zinger: “We are utlimatley responsible for reality itself, a consequence of our thoughts, words, and actions.” This is as others have also believed -- that thought or spirit is the “real” world and the material existence in which we find ourself is a creation of that other world. For an old military man, McMoneagle has a wonderful sense of the spiritual reality underlying everything. He believes in a supreme being he calls “The Grand Engineer.” I like that.

McMoneagle gives us a look at some of his blockbuster past feats of remote viewing, including how the pyramids were built and his vision of Jesus. He also gives us his answer to who killed President Kennedy. Basically, people high in government thought Kennedy had so mismanaged the Cuban Missile Crisis that they decided he was dangerous and had to go. They worked with Cubans and some organized crime people to get the job done. Could this be true? Didn’t we always know Lee Harvey Oswald was just a patsy? Some of these visions came about through experiments at the Monroe Institute. Robert Monroe, who founded the Monroe Institute, is another interesting author who writes mainly about out-of-body journeys, his main line of research. But he and McMoneagle have teamed up, using “hemi-synch” technology (read the book to learn more about that) to enhance McMoneagle’s abilities to “see” into past and future. What fascinating conversations these two guys must have!

One of the more interesting questions is whether the future is fixed. I prefer the pronouncement of Yoda, that Star Wars Jedi Master, who said “always in motion is the future.” McMoneagle endorses this too, so there are alternate futures. Doesn’t that mean his predictions may not be right? Some events he predicted for the near future have already NOT come true. Watch for another war with Iraq by 2003 (I kind of hope he’s wrong about that too). Whether he’s always correct or not, I find his descriptions of how we will be living in the years to come such entertaining reading that I recommend this book to anyone who is into futurism.

Will we all have colorful tattoos on our bodies and wear unisex jumpsuits? How about swallowing a pill to change our skin color? We’ll have it by 2025. (So my daughter’s daughter can not only have weird hair color, but weird skin color too!) Will a new religion emerge by 2005 unifying science and spiritual beliefs? Will the arrogant medical profession be eliminated, replaced by easy and inexpensive user-controlled health maintenance systems? And how about almost no retail stores left by 2075 as people buy what they need direct from manufacturers via electronic means? Challenging ideas like these pop out at you page after page. He tells us that in the coming years (by 2008) the young people will begin to rebel at having to support so many older people. Tensions will escalate and by 2020 the US will enact laws restricting medical spending that merely prolongs life and assisted suicide will be legalized.

We also learn that the elusive “planet X” (what Zechariah Sitchen called “the twelfth planet”) exists and will be found in 2015. By 2020 we will have hard proof that UFOs are vehicles piloted by intelligent beings. By 2075 we will know how to move in time, or rather, we will discover that time as we think of it does not exist. The same year, we will make formal contact with extraterrestrial intelligent beings.

The last chapter deals with the year 3000 and what a fascinating vision it is! I reread it a number of times, feeling elated that the world would finally be a peaceful place, with mankind (a much smaller world population) finally living in harmony with nature. We will have unlimited free power and will live mainly underground, with the surface areas returned to a natural environment. That will be good for Mother Earth, who McMoneagle tells us is alive (the Gaia theory, another old idea). The source of unlimited power? A quantum singularity! He tells us “There are doorways to the universe of power just beyond the envelope of our planet. With these machines, we possess a potential for altering space/time…” What a fantastic future -- but it will come after a major die-back in the human race caused by a terrible war between now and the year 3000.

How seriously should we take Joseph McMoneagle? I don’t know. I’ve also read his previous book, Mind Trek, which makes clear that he has had some definite successes with seeing into other places. How does he do it? Is he telling us everything, or is he still covertly working for the government and keeping the best stuff to himself? What I liked about The Ultimate Time Machine was that I didn’t need to think too deeply about those questions. He gave me plenty to think about as he covered all aspects of society in the world to come. I enjoyed seeing his vision of a future that may be elusive. Whether or not it comes to pass may depend on how many of us see what he sees. As he tells us, we are responsible for the future.
