{"product_id":"passport-to-the-cosmos","title":"John Mack: Passport to the Cosmos [2000] paperback","description":"Fascinating investigations into the Alien Abduction phenomena by a Harvard professor.  Written by a Harvard professor of psychiatry, this is not a typical sensational Daily Mirror 'Aliens Sex Probe' shocker style -- it is an intellectual debate into alien abduction. Challenging stereotypes it looks at how these experiences effect the abductees and their common experiences of contact with the Divine, increased spirituality and universal love -- making it a really interesting cross-over read as it also explores the parameters of discussing spiritual experiences.  * In this book there are stories from experiencers\/ abductees who are: psychiatrists, shaman, school children, medicine men, photographers, estate agents, nurses, students, doctors and even a blind woman. There are three extended case studies, one from a Native American Vietnam veteran, a Brazilian shaman and a South African medicine man Credo Mutwa. He also cites people like Ken Wilber, Malidoma Some, Kerry Mullis, Stanislav Grof, Ralph Metzner, Black Elk -- who explore the cross over of physical and spiritual experiences.\u003cbr\u003e* John Mack likens the experiences of 'alien encounters' with other non-ordinary states of consciousness -- spiritual experiences, vision quests etc. and questions how we explain the unexplainable, how we create a language to explain experience, while looking at the differences between the material world and the spirit world and the cultures that see no distinction between them.","brand":"Mack, John","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48126668144979,"sku":"XV80007100767","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/mack-john-passport-to-the-cosmos-xv80007100767-55857394188627.jpg?v=1715197812","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/passport-to-the-cosmos","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
