Prologue

“Now, I can write to colleagues – true colleagues – persons who share my enthusiasm for new science … . … . … I knew that I would write

– not for some fearful professors … –

{fearful of being demoted by their university's administration if they were to write (or even say publicly) anything unconventional}

but for other compassionate, courageous … colleagues who are also seeking a spiritual path”.

“Brian O'Leary, Ph.D., former professor of physics …, ... has written

Exploring Inner and Outer Space [Berkeley : North Atlantic Bks, 1989],

The Second Coming of Science [Berkeley : North Atlantic Bks, 1992], and

Miracle in the Void [Kihei (HI) : Kampua>a Pr, 1996].

Dr. O'Leary has been asked …, “What do your colleagues think of your interests in parapsychology and ufology?” He has responded, “I have new colleagues, and they are … with … New Science.””

“I had moved from being a “rescuer” to being a “guide” in my role with others around me.

No longer was I anxiously trying to please every

[p. xiii] Now, I could write to some persons who were both rational and emotional in their intellectual response.”

p. xiii

obsessive left-brained reader, and no longer was I trying to please every compulsive right-brained reader.

“I recognized, and accepted, the probability that I could be … writing about the need for suffering, as well as joy, in understanding UFO activity and the evolution of humanity.”

“The objective of this book is to offer … views of the journey of the soul, the significance of UFO activity, and the role of the individual person in human evolution. … Thus, I share with the reader … events that helped me … to become aware, to accept, and to acknowledge the interactions of humans, ETs (extraterrestrials) and higher beings.”

“Keith Thompson and I were discussing his thesis that the UFO phenomena “covers its own tracks” (see his book [NY : Addison-Wesley, 1991], Aliens and Angels). … Keith encapsulated my efforts. “Leo,” he said, “when other investigators where chasing lights in the sky and gathering soil samples, you were helping UFO experiencers and gathering soul samples!”

Soul samples! … Suddenly, I knew that the explorations of possible past lives and UFO encounters could be … for me to arrange … according to my own insights”.

p. xiii

“Carl Gustave Jung, M.D. … described [1933] four psychological functions :

feeling, intuiting, sensing, and thinking. He considered

two of these functions (sensing and intuiting) to be

p. xiv

methods by which we humans obtain information. He considered

two of these functions (thinking and feeling) to be

methods by which we human evaluate information.”

“in some societies, intuiting (rather than sensing) may be emphasized as a method of gaining information; feeling (rather than thinking) may be emphasized as a method of evaluating information.

In the U.S., with a ... theory of materialistic science, the emphasis has been on sensing (not intuiting) as the approved method of gathering information, and thinking (not feeling) as the approved method of evaluating information.”

“A new focus is now occurring :

a new/old age of science and spirituality,

technology and ethics”.

"Yes! Now the new/old age is dawning.

Yes! Every psychological function is worthy of scientific exploration and public expression."

“In 1979, I was pleased when the AAAS approved the Parapsychology Association as a division of AAAS. Yet … later … the American Psychological Association (APA) rejected, several times, the proposal that a division of parapsychology (or transpersonal psychology) be added to the list of … APA divisions.

Does the condition indicate that APA is more or less scientific than the AAAS?”

{The APA is the less scientific.}

“it seemed to me that the “ideal” scientist is one who is willing to study difficult[-to-explicate] or unpopular phenomena; one who uses courage and compassion … to advance knowledge, thereby contributing … to human welfare.”

"Part Two is written in order to describe my "intuiting" of hypnosis, ESP (extrasensory perception), and reincarnation."

“some researchers (e.g., Jerome Clark, editor of International Reporter; former editor of FATE magazine; and author of UFO Encyclopedia I, II, III) choose to differentiate between ESP experiences and UFO experiences.

Some UFO researchers avoid the topic of ESP because they wish to maintain their sense of scientific respectablility;

some parapsychologists use the same argument in their refusal to study UFO phenomena.

However, I appreciate the efforts of those many researchers (e.g., David Cassirer and Rhea White, et al.) who are showing the connections between parapsychology and ufology.”

“agreement could only be reached if each participant were willing to accept and acknowledge his own psychic awareness, or compassion, or rapport, or resonance, with the other participant. … New science involves – indeed, it requires – the acceptance and application of mutual psychic experiences, the awareness of common consciousness from individual perspectives.

p. 113

I wonder how long it will be before this important principle is accepted among the majority of the academic and scientific community.”

"Santayana was quoted as saying ... : Every science goes through three stages;

first, it is ignored;

second, it is ridiculed; and

third it is accepted.

When friends as me if I am bothered by public ridicule of past life therapy and UFO research, I smile and reply, "Hey! We're making progress.""

“In parts One, Two, and Three, I have been describing what I experienced when I was "sensing" UFOEs, "intuiting" POLs, and "thinking" about the results of various studies ... .

Now, in Part Four, I have the opportunity to describe my "feelings" about connections of these phenomena. ... However, these chapters … synthesize, or … merge, … UFO activity and the process of reincarnation or soul development.”

“Chapter 10, A Model Chapter, provides a brief description of mental models about "personal," "interpersonal," and "transpersonal" patterns of human behaviors. ...

Chapter 11, "some Speculations, provide some tentative guidelines for the psychical analysis of UFO experiences. If the reader is willing to regard the guidelines ..., then he/she can evaluate or interpret any UFOE as an indication of … level or soul development and … readiness for ET contact.

p. 156

Chapter 12, Some Implications, summarizes my views about the meaning and signiicance of reincarnation and UFO activity, ... within a transpersonal perspective. I argue that -- to some degree -- we can choose, individually and collectively, what our response shal be to ... UFO activity."
