alien abduction
Did you ever notice the striking similarities between a magic circle and a UFO? I recently picked up a copy of Tom DeLonge & Peter Levenda’s non-fiction book, “Gods, Man, & War…
What I discovered in writing the first part of Prisoner of Infinity is how the experiences of alleged alien abductees like Whitley Strieber, whether phantasy, reality, or some little understood combination of the…
In his follow-up work to the infamous Communion: A True Story (the book that fully introduced alien abduction into the mainstream), Whitley Strieber mentions a couple of names from his time living…
Strieber is not offering this description as an example of being “evolved” through trauma. He merely includes it as a preamble to the remarkable statement that follows it.
“Pain” is the story Whitley Strieber was working on in December 1985, when the memories of his alleged alien encounters first began to surface.

” The reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate.”
Nor was it ever so, and Buddhism has long held to this fact in its diverse applications of the simple monikor – If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.
So let’s move past any undue shock over those statements and get straight to the UFOs. In 1992 John E. Mack, the noted Harvard Professor who specialized in abduction experiences, had the opportunity to meet with the Dali Lama and discuss his views on the UFO phenomenon. Central to this is Mack’s theory, similar to that of Jacques Vallee, that whatever is behind the UFO phenomena, and specifically abduction experiences, is central to changing our perceptions of reality and the progress of our culture.
It is interesting to hear Mack discuss the difference in how the Buddhist world view integrates these experiences, juxtaposed with how the ‘Western materialist’ mindset faces these anomalous encounters:
