Seeing beyond the illusion of space and time

This book deals with the concept of alternate realities and other dimensions. It also shows how this seems to explain the simularity between the reports of "gods" and faery folk in the past, with reports of UFO's and their occupants in the present. It is interesting that Vallee (who was the model for the French scientist in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") doesn't see UFO's as extraterrestrial visitors. He maintains that they have always been here with us.Here we have the idea that our everyday conception of space and time is merely an illusion. The universe is a much stranger and more complicated place than we assume. Space and time are illusionary constructs for a limited consciousness. The truth appears to be closer to a holographic universe. As Vallee states it, the synchronicity and coincidence that abound in our lives suggest that the world may be organised like a randomized data base (the multiverse) rather than a sequential library (the four dimensional world of convensional physics.) Occationally human beings see beyond the illusory curtain of space-time, but it seems to take a major "shake-up" of the individual's mind and habitual way of seeing things. Sometimes this "shake up" seems to come from without- from the "visitors." But this is not an "invasion", it is instead a spiritual system that acts on humans and uses humans.A book that further explores this theme is _Daimonic Reality_ by Patrick Harpur.

Dimensions : An Excellent Casebook of Alien Contact

This book displays some excellent research done by Vallee. Not only does he illustrate the UFO phenomena in contemporary times, but he provides information from other continents, in other ages for comparison. These vignettes from the past have been culled from ancient library texts and are not simply conjecture, but are confirmed by the ancient witnesses. He consistently provides definitive descriptions that have been documented, some over 1000 years ago. He correlates these descriptions with contemporary data in a manner that makes an extremely interesting and enjoyable book. This book is not at all of the sensationalist variety. The cover of the paperback appears to project that impression, as if it were a Van Daniken type scenario. This book is nothing like that. Vallee has done such excellent research that it seems as if you are reading something that he wrote for his own reference. His comparisons of The Lady of Fatima to Rev. Kirk of Aberfoyle's Secret Commonwealth to Paracelsus' visitors to Jerome Cardan's experiences are well worth reading. Not reminiscent of any fiction, this book will give the curious mind a warehouse of information to dwell on for a considerable period of time.

Vallee's research is profound, startling, and captivating.

In this book, Dr. Vallee puts forth massive evidence in support of a hypothesis he first formulated thirty years ago--that UFOs may not be from outer space, but interdimensional, able to enter our world at anytime they choose. And contrary to what most extraterrestrial-hypothesis proponents claim, Vallee's evidence is extremely persuasive. In fact, upon reading the book, one realizes that the UFO phenomenon represents something infinitely more profound and tantalizing than space visitors: It shows us that alien beings are not distant from us, separated by hundreds of lightyears, but here, with us, now--as indeed they always have been. We need only to open our minds to meet them. . . . --Thomas T. Huston

Fun stuff. Vast in scope, exciting content, good analysis.

This may be the most complete analysis of the UFO phenomenon throughout history. It contains a great number of "reliable" witness accounts of encounters, but more importantly, it distills the vast amount of information available to the good doctor into an exciting conclusion; UFOs are not from outer space. Especially valuable is the chapter on the Fatima "miracles" of 1917
