Stanley Krippner

Presents the link between near-death experiences and extraterrestrial encounters • Looks at research from early pioneers in the field of alien contact, including Greta Woodrew, Leo Sprinkle, Whitley Streiber, and John Mack • Shares case studies of individuals who have undergone near-death experiences that coincided with extraterrestrial contact • Tells the story of the author’s own near-death experiences, the unexpected knowledge they offered, and their revelations of the author’s past lives Near-death experience (NDE) researcher and spiritual counselor, P. M. H. Atwater draws upon decades of scholarship, personal experiences, and testimonials from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) to explore the connections between NDEs and alien contact. The author presents the research of pioneers in the field of alien interaction, including Greta Woodrew, Leo Sprinkle, Kenneth Ring, Whitley Streiber, and John Mack. She also shares 38 case studies with interviews of people who have had alien encounters and NDEs. Her findings reveal that features of the two phenomena frequently overlap with people reporting similar experiences of interactions with “beings of light,” telepathic communication, and journeys to otherworldly realms. Atwater also reports on her own NDEs from the 1970s, revealing how they may demonstrate her past life as a space-traveling extraterrestrial named Arrakkus. The author provides transcripts of recorded conversations that Arrakkus had by speaking through her while she was in a trance state. She explains how her personal experiences and research have yielded conclusions that bear upon the fields of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and theology. Aliens and the Near-Death Experience considers the nature of NDEs, investigates the potential links between NDEs and encounters with aliens, and discusses the implications of these findings for a deeper understanding of our potentials.

This book is the first to scientifically explore the phenomenon of telepathic dreaming in depth. It recounts how psychiatrist Montague Ullman and psychologist Stanley Krippner conducted experiments to determine whether persons acting as senders can transfer their thoughts to the minds of sleeping receivers, thereby altering their dreams. Their results were astonishing: the researchers were able to verify several instances of telepathic communication between participants. Participants often gave uncannily accurate descriptions of images that the senders attempted to project to them - apparently confirming the reality of extrasensory perception during the dream state.In fascinating detail, the authors explain the intriguing process and results of their 10-year study, researching and experimenting with the human ability to communicate across the barriers of time, space, and sleep. They also review the history of previous research in this area, describe their own controlled experimental procedures, document their subjects' reactions, provide transcripts of several dream sessions, and critically engage with scientific reviewers. All this is done in straightforward language, making the book accessible to both general readers and serious scholars. Rarely has a scientific work been so readable, engaging, and entertaining.This new 50th Anniversary Edition features a never-before-published article by Montague Ullman on interpreting dreams in light of theoretical physicist David Bohm's concept of an implicate order; and a new afterword by Stanley Krippner, highlighting recent developments in dream telepathy research.

This book explains why suicide can be alluring to a person aiming to stop his or her traumatic pain—whether its source is bullying, sexual assault, war combat, or other PTSD-invoking events—and details approaches that can prevent suicide.Suicide has been a taboo topic in Western culture. The mere mention of suicide sparks reactive responses that include medical, moral, spiritual, and religious debates. As a result, the authors open an important discussion here, offering an honest and non-judgmental examination of the many aspects involved in the nature of suicide, explaining that above all, people need to learn how to support those struggling with suicidal thoughts or to intercept their own suicidal thinking. The book also includes an extensive review and evaluation of the many available mental health treatments.Special consideration is given to military suicides. U.S. soldier suicides exceed one per day and continue to rise in all military branches, while veteran suicide rates are even higher, averaging 17 per day. Communities, families, veterans, and service members are in need of tools and insights for coping with, navigating, and exposing the suicidal attitudes affecting many current and former members of the military.

The earth-human relationship is the most pressing and encompassing issue of our times. Visionary perspectives on the earth-human relationship are assembled in Earth Dreaming. A transpersonal approach highlights the possibilities of awakening to a new global consciousness. A mythic perspective tells, in the brevity of words and potency of images, the billion-years evolutionary journey of our planet. A depth psychological perspective perceives ecological complexes-points of deep environmental wounding that resonate into the human psyche. Still, our everyday existence provides openings to participatory kinship with the planet. The portal provided by our natural attachment to pets can extend to other non-human attachments. The vegetative world provides a portal to the evolutionary wisdom of interdependence and co-creation. The sensate capacities of our bodies offer a portal into an earth-embracing consciousness. In the portal provided by nighttime dreaming, three types of earth dreams appear: those restoring psychic kinship between human and earth, those asking us to witness earth's destruction, and those pointing towards earth healing. Dreams, expressions of pure nature, offer inspiration during this dark, chaotic phase of decay in Western civilization.

"Dr Alex Tanous (1926-1990) was a renowned international lecturer on the topics of well-being, creativity and parapsychology. A self-professed psychic, he spent 20 years of his life while working as a university lecturer being tested for his claims of 'light project' and going 'out-of-the-body' at will. He was also well-known for placing his predictions of future events on record. This book - written in the 1980s by Tanous and colleagues - "gives an overview of an innovative approach in the combined fields of conventional and non]-conventional psychotherapeutic healing". This is one of several books released by the Alex Tanous Foundation in recent years for historical preservation. Fascinating accounts are relayed by Tanous and colleagues, with additional writings from respected renowned scientists and professionals to provide modern reflection on this historical piece."

Sharing the wisdom of shamanic healing, Nicholas Brink creates an accessible link between psychotherapy and the ritualized use of ecstatic trance postures. He explains how ecstatic trance triggers the imagery that allows us to override negative beliefs and retrieve the lost innocence of the soul. He shows us how to broaden healing beyond the resolution of individual emotional and behavioral issues to create harmony in family, community, society, and the world around us. Integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and dream analysis, the author provides a unique model for tapping into the universal mind in a way that feels familiar and safe. He illustrates five ecstatic postures for emotional and spiritual growth, moving from finding a place of relaxation in which to strengthen your sense of self to the soul retrieval experience, which leads to the death of dysfunctional beliefs and restoration of your original innocence. The author shows how spirit guides can support us as we achieve the spiritual consciousness of the shaman and recognize the interdependence of all cultures and all living things on the planet.

What is consciousness? Conventional thinking tells us it is the images, sensations, thoughts, and feelings produced by the brain. When the neurons in the brain stop firing, consciousness ceases to be. But does it?

*Contains never-before-released talks by Rolling Thunder preserved by the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart as well as accounts of remarkable healings and weather magic from famous personalities who knew him*Explains that in order to heal Nature's afflictions we must first restore balance and unity in ourselvesCherokee-Shoshone medicine man Rolling Thunder (19161997) was a healer, teacher, visionary and activist who rose to popularity in the 1960s and '70s through his friendship with artists such as Bob Dylan and as the inspiration for the Billy Jack films. Eyewitness accounts of his remarkable healings are legion, as are those of his ability to call forth the forces of nature, typically in the form of thunder clouds. Yet it was his equally uncommon gift as a prophet and living representative of Native American wisdom that truly set him apart from other spiritual teachers of that era. Thirty years before most people had ever heard of global warming, Rolling Thunder described in graphic detail the signs of encroaching planetary doom and campaigned for environmental harmony. The key to healing nature's afflictions, he maintained, is to first restore balance and unity in ourselves.Containing never-before-released talks preserved by the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, this book shares the teachings of Rolling Thunder in his own words and through inspiring interviews with psychologist Alberto Villoldo and other famous personalities who knew him. Collected and edited by his grandson, Sidian Morning Star Jones and longtime friend, Stanley Krippner, this book allows you to incorporate Rolling Thunder's wisdom into your own life.
