Reviews & Comments

“I remember the Betty & Barney Hill incident vividly, all the press, the interviews, and the subsequent television MOW, the book rights which were bought by James Earl Jones (who played Barney in the movie).

This book authored by Stanton Friedman and Kathleen Marden, Betty Hill’s niece, was in 2007.

I found the book to be intriguing, almost overly methodical in presenting local, Air Force reports, hypnosis logs, contradictions of various professionals as to what they believed or not and why, efforts to suppress the abduction claim, efforts to support it. All-in-all, this was an excellent read.

I’ve read many books on the subject, and usually try to read those publications which are thorough, and as objective as possible. I heard an interview with Stan Friedman and Kathy Marden which aroused my curiosity.

The more our society’s technological advances expand, our satellites gather more information which is publicly accessible or is exposed as a result of various leaks from private groups, and our ventures into space open more, the more, I believe, that we are going to learn about the enormity of our universe. Part and parcel to that are the undeniable and unavoidable questions, “Are there other civilizations out there? Are we alone?” Recently, the Hubble Telescope has recorded images of the “Hubble Ultra Deep Field” in the constellation of Formax where there are over 100,000 galaxies (like our own Milky Way) in a very small slice of the night sky. Each one of these galaxies has millions of star systems, of which many probably contain planets and solar systems like our own. This is science, not science fiction.

To anyone who is interested in the possibility of life elsewhere due to scientific advancement and discovery, the UFO phenomena, whether you believe in it, or you are “sitting on the proverbial fence,” I strongly encourage you to read this book.

Last night, Judy and I saw an incredible one hour show on Nova called “Ghosts of Machu Picchu.”

If you get an opportunity to see it, do so. It is fascinating about the Incas who lived over 500 years ago and had the most remarkable skill of farming, architecture & design, ritual, military weaponry, knowledge of skull surgery, masonry, irrigation systems, astronomy, and more. It is a current 2010 documentary, worth every minute. The DVD will be available from Amazon on April 27, 2010.

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.

Yesterday, I returned from a trip to Las Vegas where I had a nearly three-hour past life regression session with Dr. Charles Tramont, and later that evening I was a guest at his and his wife Nancy’s home. It turned out to be a five-hour dinner and conversation. It was deep connection with two remarkable people, Chuck (as he asked me to call him) and his wife Nancy. Never before have I felt such profound and deep connection with people (other than my wife Judy), as if everything which I have grown to believe in the deep quiet recesses of my heart and soul were echoed and shared by Chuck and Nancy. I felt home.

Dr. Charles Tramont (Chuck) has written a brilliant, ground-breaking book entitled From Birth to Rebirth: Gnostic Healing for the 21st Century.

I first heard Dr. Tramont on Coast-to-Coast on December 9, 2009 and was subsequently drawn to contact him. From there, I arranged the January 21, 2010 meeting with him. The past-life regression via hypnosis reinforced many intuitions and meditative experiences, which I had about my past lives, but more importantly filled in and confirmed some missing pieces and connectors. The session gave me clarity. Dr. Tramont is brilliant and creative, his methodology ground-breaking and courageous. My session with him was as compelling (albeit more so since it was deeply personal) as reading his book From Birth to Rebirth: Gnostic Healing for the 21st Century. The Sunday before January 17, 2010, I called Dr. Tramont to confirm the upcoming Thursday’s session. During the twenty-minute conversation, we both made a significant and unusual connection, and he asked me to join him and his wife Nancy for dinner, a most unusual occurrence. I was pleased about the dinner invitation, but also surprised.

At dinner that night, we talked about everything. It was a seamless five hours of sharing ideas, experiences, and philosophies. Dr. Charles Tramont (Chuck) and his wife Nancy are so-incredibly connected to each other. I found them to be kind, intelligent, open, aware, courageous, and genuine. For me, it was a profound life-changing dinner. I am deeply am grateful for this remarkable re-connection.

The New York Times today released a review in the science section of a remarkable book by Michael Benson.

From the Times, “Far Out: A Space-Time Chronicle (Amazon Link) is an exquisite picture guide to the universe by Michael Benson, a photographer, journalist and filmmaker, and obviously a longtime space buff.” The NY Times article gives you a sampling of some of the exquisite Hubble Photos.  Just click on this link to see a slide show: New York Times Slide Show for Michale Benson’s book. How exciting to live in this time! Thanks to my wife Judy for pointing this out to me.

All of the recent activity, discussions and the current release of government classified UFO sightings by England, France and many other countries, prompted me to review an official report, which I made to a UFO reporting agency on November 30, 1994 regarding a UFO, which I spotted (about seven days before) 15 years ago on November 24, 1994, while traveling East at 6:45 a.m. on Route 60 in a somewhat rural area on my way to skydive at Perris Valley Skydive Center in Riverside, California.

Unbeknown to me, there were a rash of UFO sightings that were reported during this time period in the United States, Russia, Canada, Mexico, and the Ukraine. You can click on the link just below, where it says UFO REPORT to read the official report.

Recently, I heard an interview on Coast-To-Coast with renown journalist and author Lynn McTaggart, who has a book entitled “THE FIELD.” It is a remarkable book. Through hundreds of interviews with preeminent scientists in physics, astronomy and biology, she puts forth a daring, and often controversial theory, that at the very level of DNA, we are all linked together by a filed, that unites everything. The book is a disciplined, almost scientific study of spirituality and quantum mechanics.  If you want a spiritual book with scientific teeth, this is your read.

Drunvalo Melchizedek, the author of four books including “The Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life” Volumes 1 & 2 is on the internationally-acclaimed radio show Coast-to-Coast right now.

Pacific Daylight Time it is on from 10 p.m. – 2 a.m.. He is a philosopher, discoverer, author of profound books dealing with sacred geometry, the Hopi, Mayan Prophecies, indigenous peoples around the earth, the shift of the poles, the heart and human compassion. He is legendary as a thinker and courageous as a proponent of a “new way of thinking,” a way that we MUST learn during the great change that we are experiencing and will continue to experience on our planet for the next 6 years. I used much of Drunvalo’s work as reference and resource material for my novel THE ASCENDANCY.

The Flowers of Life contains the sacred geometry of life, a source architecture for all existence.

My wife Judy sent me this incredible photo of the night sky over Sequoia National Park. Check it out. Just click on the following: Dark Sky Over Sequoia National Park.

District 9 is a brilliant piece of film making. Original, allegorical, intense and gripping, this film (with no “stars”) is non-stop action and compelling drama, which takes the simple idea from songwriter Joe South, “Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes, And before you abuse, criticize, and accuse, Walk a mile in my shoes.”

The theme of District 9 is racism, but instead of white versus black, it is humans against aliens. The setting is Johannesburg, South Africa, but today. In Johannesburg, South Africa in 1948, the Apartheid Laws legalized and institutionalized racial discrimination.

District 9 is ground-breaking in style. (to see good trailer click here). Sony Pictures apparently knew that the film was timed perfectly for our time in human history, cultural judgment and polarization, over 70% of people on the planet believe in extraterrestrial life, and when we are at the brink of a “new world order” and global changes in socio-economic-political structures, someone knew that District 9 would strike a universal cord. And it does.

Aside from the allegory, Johannesburg, the high tech weaponry, the racial tension, the action, District 9 is at its heart a very simple story, “Walk a Mile in My Shoes, before you Abuse, Criticize or Abuse.” Don’t miss this film.
