I really enjoyed this entertaining and informative book. The author is able to convey facts about a wide variety of subjects related to the UFO/ET phenomena in a creative, story-like style, which is rare for a person with her academic background. Most books on this topic I've read were dry and merely interesting. This one's fun! What I really appreciated was her honesty. If certain material was speculative, she said so. If an idea was her own, she claimed it. It is evident that a lot of research went into the book, yet she does so much more than merely review and recite. She forms her own conclusions, which are fresh and sound. Writing style is clear and concise. She is able to transition to new points and topics with relative ease, weaving it together with the underlying theme of the book - the "Wizard of Oz mysteries" - esoteric truths about the symbolism in that story and how it relates to the material put forth in her book. She reveals connections not ordinarily discerned and her insight sheds much needed light on many controversial issues. She gives an in-depth analysis of the principles of occultism, and even gives out a technique for individual practice so that the reader can experience firsthand the reality and effectiveness of this engaged spirituality. This preliminary material forms a strong foundation for what comes next - an overview of the evolution of the esoteric mystery traditions and how they're tied into the UFO/ET phenomena. Why this information is important and how it relates to the reader is thoroughly explored psychologically, sociologically, and spiritually. An entire chapter is devoted to the workings of what she calls the "muddlers" -- a shadowy corporate/governmental oligarchy - how it maintains control and spins the wheel of disinformation and what we can do about it. She explains that they need not resort to conspiracy or secret societies to do this -- it's all done through mainstream politics and economics and she shows how. Finally, she explores at length the little-known physiology of awareness and effects of music and how we can use this fascinating information to heal and strengthen ourselves, leading to a better understanding of each other and meaningful extraterrestrial contact. Very down to earth, she excels in translating supportive scientific studies into layman's terms. Her main message is self-empowerment, that spiritual enlightenment is anchored in the heart - not the head, and ends the book on a compassionate and positive note. Overall, this must be one of the most original and creative books I've ever read. I found it to be empowering, uplifting, and incredibly comprehensive. I only wished she'd included more diagrams. Still, at a whopping 681 pages, it's a lot of bang for your buck. Definitely recommended as I believe it's destined to be a classic!
