But this is hopeful. I was reminded of Colin Wilson’s Mind Matters. But this is very different. A touch of Jonathan Livingston Seagull maybe. The American cop spoke in an English idiom. The Egyptians felt more realistic. Mysticism. In love with words, as though he can talk us into seeing what he sees; this is always a problem for mystics. I ended up liking most everyone in it, even those who were first painted unflatteringly. ( ) http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1685020.html I thought this was a really silly book. Watson presents us with standard aliens out of UFO lore, combined with Jung's theory of UFO's (thus having his cake and eating it) and an Egyptian order of followers of Rūmī, and seems to take it all quite seriously and uncritically. None of the characters does anything remotely interesting, and there is a tremendously poor scene with an American cop. Really one to avoid. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

John Deacon uses hynosis to research altered states of consciousness. One of his subjects, Michael Peacocke, is unusually susceptible and in their fist session together he recalls a Close Encounter. Deacon is sceptical of UFOs and dismisses the story as an adolescent sexual fantasy. But then inexplicable things happen and Deacon is forced to reconsider. Could UFOs be symbols projected from the collective unconscious? Are they messages from the biomatrix? Does the mind have the ability to project tulpas, objects and people which are physically real yet somehow illusory? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
