  • Transformation the Breakthrough Whitley Strieber
    TRANSFORMATION THE BREAKTHROUGH WHITLEY STRIEBER On February 10, 1987, one of the most star­ tling and controversial books of our time was published: Whitley Strieber's Commu­ nion. In Communion, Whitley Strieber de­ scribed the shattering effects of an assault from the unknown-what seemed to be an encounter with intelligent nonhuman beings. Transformation is the chronicle of his effort to form a relationship with the unknown reality he has come to call"the visitors." After writing Communion, Whitley Strie­ ber firmly expected that his encounters with the "visitors" would end. They did not. At first he was desperate and terrified. He struggled frantically to push the visitors out of his life, to prove to himself that they were figments of his imagination, that they were anything but a reality separate from himself. He was finally forced to admit, because of their persistence and the undeniably intelli­ gent structure of their encounters with him, that they had to be a genuine mystery, an intelligence of unknown nature and origin. Whitley began to challenge his fear of the visitors, to try to confront them with objec­ tivity, in an effort to gain real insight into their impact on our lives. The more he did this, he found, the deeper and richer his ex­ perience became. Do the visitors represent a force that has been with mankind throughout history? Has it played an absolutely central role in alter­ ing human culture? Has a conscious force (continued on backflap) Book Club Edition TRANSFORMATI ON By Whitley Strieber As Author: Transformation Communion Wo lfof Shadows Catmagic Th e Night Church Black Magic The Hunger The Wolfen As Co-Author: Nature's End Wa rday Whitley Strieber TRANSFORMATION The Breakthrough BEECH TREE BOOKS WILLIAM MOR ROW New York Copyright C 1988 by Wilson & Neff, Inc.

  • Problems with Strieber and the Key
    PERISTALSIS: A DIGEST Vol. 143, No. 2, March 2017 Problems with Strieber and The Key HEINRICH MOLTKE THE EMPTY MAN A MÔMO IMPRINT ABSTRACT THE KEY by Whitley Strieber presents a conversation Strieber claims to have had with an otherworldly visitor offering a “new vision” of God and man along with previously unknown scientific knowledge and pre- dictions for the future. This article critically examines The Key and uses textual evidence from Strieber’s previous books, articles, and interviews to show that ideas purportedly originating with the visitor appear throughout Strieber’s previous work. This article notes that scientific assertions made in The Key, far from being new and unknown, draw on the popular scientific literature at around the time Strieber wrote The Key. This article also examines the controversy surrounding differences between The Key’s two published versions, suggesting that contrary to Strieber’s improbable claim that his 2001 text had been altered by “sin- ister forces” without his knowledge, Strieber authored the text of both editions. Strieber’s inability to notice the similarity between his own public statements and the “breathtakingly new” ideas presented by his visitor combined with his unsupportable charge of censorship against his own self-published book call into question his credibility as a bridge between intellectual culture and the experience of the otherworldly. ] Page numbers in parentheses ( ) refer to the 2001 Walker & Collier edition of The Key unless otherwise noted.

  • UFO WAVES: an INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos FOTOCAT Project [email protected]
    UFO WAVES: AN INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos FOTOCAT Project [email protected] Introduction In the study of UFO phenomena there are several topics that emerge as key issues for the understanding and potential resolution of this worldwide enigma. The subject of UFO waves and UFO flaps is, evidently, one of these. Compiling bibliographies of research items has been a recurrent interest in my investigative life (1-7), as I have always thought that, as in mainstream science disciplines, progress is linked to the knowledge of prior work in the field. Those who ignore what their senior colleagues have produced on a given matter waste time duplicating past efforts or are unable to build upon previous finds. Over the years, the field of ufology has produced many authoritative bibliographies. With a few exceptions, these are general lists of literature, sometimes annotated, but usually not organized by topic (8-28). Nevertheless, these assist the researcher and represent an academic advancement. As I am committed to the concept of achieving a synthesis of knowledge in some of the main areas of the study of UFOs (29), I think a more pragmatic approach is to design a series of very specific, subject-focused bibliographies. As a practical example, I have combed through my files to create a thorough bibliography of articles and papers related to the mystery of UFO waves, those periods when UFO reporting increases noticeably and suddenly with respect to average historical records. I have been assisted by a number of top scholars who have contributed references, actual materials, pdfs and online links to create what is intended to be a comprehensive list of the literature on this subject published all over the world.

  • Pixels, Balloons, Rainbows
    pixels, balloons, rainbows written by gabriella d'cosla The concept of UFOs gained traction in the late 40s and early 50s (a period which coincidedwith a multinationalinterest in space travel) and persists still today, even giving rise to volunteer run organisationslike the National UFO Reporting Centre (NUFORC),and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) dedicatedto archiving and judging the verity of sightingssubmitted by people throughout the world.

The blue light was steady and projecting under the object. It was lighting up the area directly under extending a meter or two out. At this point of positive identification I relayed to CSC, SSgt Coffey. Positive sighting of object...colour of lights and that it was definitely mechanical in nature.

He eventually arrived at a “beacon light”, however, he stated that this was not the light or lights he had originally observed. He was instructed to return. - J. D. Chandler January 1981 statement We climbed over the fence and started heading towards the red and blue lights and they just disappeared. Once we reached the farmer’s house we could see a beacon going around so we went towards it. We followed it for about 2 miles be- fore we could see it was coming from a lighthouse.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • ALIEN TALES.Pdf
    Main subject: The Milky Way contains about 300 billion stars, each of them with its own planetary system. With this knowledge in mind, one day during a lunch break in Los Alamos, in the middle of a happy conversation between physicists on extraterrestrial life, Enrico Fermi suddenly asked: "But if they exist, where are they?" They exist - statistically they have had every chance to develop a civilization and also reveal themselves. Their numbers are not lacking, so, where are they? For at least a century, we humans have been emitting our radio signals into space, which have now reached a million-billion-mile radius, bringing with them the evidence of our existence to hundreds of stars by now. Nobody has answered us yet. Are we really alone in the universe? Are we really so unique? This is perhaps the biggest question we have ever asked ourselves. Are there aliens? And how are they made? What thoughts do they have? What would happen if we met them? What do we really know about life in the universe? What are the testimonies and evidence of scholars and people who have experienced rst-person revelatory experiences? The presence of extraterrestrial intelligence that periodically visits our planet is now scientically proven. In the last sixty years, at least 150,000 events have been documented for which any hypothesis of "conventional" explanation has not proved to be valid. Yet, many still do not believe in the extraterrestrial theory, in part because the political and military authorities continue to eld a strategy of discre- dit. The ten episodes of the series, lasting 48 minutes each, deal with the human-alien relationship in its various facets - from sightings to meetings, from more or less secret contacts, to great conspiracy theories.
