Dr. John E. Mack is one-of-kind genius. The loss of his life when he was hit by a Czech drunk driver in London was our loss. John E. Mack was a Harvard professor of psychiatry, who wrote and won the Pulitzer Prize for A PRINCE OF OUR DISORDER, a biography of T.E. Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia. His book PASSPORT TO THE COSMOS is one of those rare books that is courageous and eye opening.
In his preface, he writes: “I would like to make a plea that my readers begin with an attitude of not knowing…” He goes to write: “My own approach has been that of a clinician allowing abduction ‘experiencers’ to tell their stories without initial judgments or interpretations… in working with other human beings, we have always relied heavily on empathy and intuition, on the use of ourselves as instruments of knowing.” If you are open to the subjective experiences revealed by his interviewees, whether they were real or not, the material in PASSPORT TO THE COSMOS puts forth an incredible treatise of disciplined research and intelligence. John Mack’s conclusions in his book are that these people, who experienced abduction phenomena, were neither crazy, nor deluded, but were normal, integrated people with adaptive and balanced mental states. Without judgment, you will see what Dr. John E. Mack so clearly saw. He will teach you, if you listen. He was truly a great man and a real loss to mankind. We are fortunate to have one record in PASSPORT TO THE COSMOS of his profoundly disciplined observations, clinical methodology in approaching a most controversial topic, and finally reflections about a topic that will become increasingly importance in the years to come, mainly Alien Intervention with mankind.
