Having read numerous books on the subject of alien abductions over the last fifteen years or so, I eventually discovered that the information contained in the different books came together like a vast puzzle. Several years ago, I read an amazing book by Ray Fowler called "The Watchers". In that book the aliens tell Mr. Fowler's subject that more and more information about themselves will be revealed as time passes and people become more "prepared" to accept their (the aliens) existence.

Indeed, in the time that has passed since that book's release, the so-called "greys" have become a part of our pop-culture. Millions of dollars worth of merchandise has been sold over the last few years depicting the aliens with the unforgettable large, black eyes; everything from stuffed dolls to skateboards. As our culture has come to embrace these beings without quite realizing it, these aliens have indeed revealed their motives through subjects working with investigators such as Budd Hopkins, Dr. Mack, and the author of "The Custodians", Dolores Cannon.

What makes "The Custodians" so breathtaking is the fact that Ms. Cannon actually speaks directly to various alien beings, using her subjects as transmitters. Dolores Cannon immediately becomes a very endearing woman to the reader, as she conducts her work in a completely non-exploitative way. Her first and foremost concern in every one of her cases is for her subject, and I must admit that she is the most caring investigator I have studied in that respect. I believe that if most investigators were given the opportunity to speak directly with these mysterious aliens and ask them any question they wished, they would be so excited and amazed that they would neglect the well-being of their subject. Ms. Cannon's deep sensitivity is apparently why these aliens have chosen her to receive this information, and throughout the book it becomes obvious that she is the perfect choice.

"The Custodians" ranks as the most important book to date on the alien abduction phenomenon since Whitley Strieber's "Communion". This, however, does not mean that a complete skeptic could pick up this book and become an instant believer. This is not a book intended to make people realize we are not alone, but is instead geared toward explaining who our universal "neighbors" are and what their true intentions are toward us. I believe that in order for the information in this book to be understood the reader must have previously accepted the fact that these aliens do indeed exist, which may require reading an earlier book on the subject. I write this knowingly as I clearly remember seeing Whitley Strieber on a national morning show promoting "Communion" and laughing openly at what he was saying, not believing a word of it. Of course, that book fatefully made it's way into my hands and changed my beliefs forever. If I had never read that book I fear that I would have remained a closed-minded disbeliever.

To anyone who has followed this amazing phenomenon, "The Custodians" is truly a must read. The number of questions answered in this book is amazing and many of the mysteries about who these beings are and what they are doing here are finally solved. Dolores Cannon is truly amazing in her work, and it seems as if more is yet to come. Truly unforgettable.

I just finished reading 'The Custodians' this week and am still reeling. Two good friends of mine, who know and have been hypnotically regressed by Mrs Cannon, highly recommended her books to me. No matter your mindset, open or closed or somewhere in between, you will find this book a genuine eye-opener and eyebrow-lifter. Personally, I experienced seeing a "UFO" at the age of 11 (and yes, I'm absolutely certain what I saw so quiet your internal dialogue already), in addition to a number of other anomolous phenomena since that time. This book actually triggered recall of two seperate childhood memories I had "forgotten", and made a number of previously confusing pieces fall into place. To be certain of what I was remembering, I immediately phoned my childhood best friend, who I hadn't spoken with in nearly 15 years. As he was with me at the time of the experience, I asked him if my memory was serving me correctly. "Absolutely," he said. He then brought to my attention another "forgotten" memory that I remembered upon his mentioning. Strange but true. While this latest book is a hefty 520+ pages, the revelatory quality of the material and the fact that its mostly transcripts of various sessions makes it move quickly. It is an understatement to say the topics discussed in this book are "out there", but "out there" is where we are all heading and fast. So, if you'd like to get a sneak peak at a portion of the map before you find yourself smack dab in the middle of new territory without a clue, then I suggest reading 'The Custodians'. Maybe it's time to turn off the big, black mediated reality generator box in your living room, squeegee off your Third Eye, and start seeing things as they really are.

Just a fantastic book. Dolores Cannon takes us through some regressive hypnosis sessions to find what appears to be normal people, like you and I, to actually have been "abductees" who have startling news and insites to share with the world. This is not a scarry book like "Communion" or other personal accounts of abductions that see only things from the perspective of the abductee. Thru hypnosis, Dolores Cannon is able to get feedback from the aliens themselves as to why these abductions are occurring, who these abductees are and why they were chosen. We also find out about preliminary pacts between souls to be incarnated and "the powers that be" that perhaps some of us had agreed to being "abducted" for the betterment of the human race.

Although it was more than 500 pages of reading, its one of those books that is hard to put down, reads easily, and ends too soon. My favorite chapter was Chapter 13, "The Ultimate Experience". If for no other reason to purchase this book, this chapter will make it all worthwhile. Kind a gives us the hope to a future.

I bought this book after reading 'Keepers of the Garden' and before reading either of the volumes of 'The COnvoluted Universe'. I had bought the latter two volumes in order to learn of the kind of fate waiting in the wings for humanity, post 2012. However, I am glad that I followed the suggestion given by the author in Book One of 'The Convoluted Universe' and read 'The Custodians' before I read the other two volumes. In some way, it is a gradual build up to progressively stranger phases of existence.

To say that the information uncovered from the subconscious by Dolores Cannon's method of trance hypnosis is mindboggling is an understatement. A whole new universe opens up for the reader as one gets a glimpse of consciousness, far more refined than one can comprehend. It has to be this way in order to be able to use the technology that they do, a technology defying human comprehension.

In 'Keepers of the Garden', one learnt of our origins and the role of extra terrestrial beings in seeding our civilization. One encounters, not only the very advanced technology they use to travel with, but also intuits that their intentions for humanity, are totally honourable and would bring benefit to our suffering planet. In 'The Custodians', one gets to see the extent of their involvement with Homo Sapiens, and their work, from closer quarters. One gets to see how their interaction with individuals from our race fit into pieces that are experienced as 'missing time' for those people, as their subconscious endeavours to protect them from handling more information than they can take. One learns of implants placed in their bodies that can transmit information, of astronauts who have been lost in space missions, of the unsuccessful Alien interaction with Governments, of energy beings who can take on a physical mantle and more. Often in this book, the subconscious of the regressee is taken over by other beings overseeing alien activity, who want their side of the truth to emerge, in the face of governmental disinformation and uninformed mass scepticism. However, the material is carefully graded and no more is given out in this book, than can be put clearly inside a definite framework.

Like all of Dolores Cannon's books, this is a fast read. It is not as engaging as 'Keepers of the Garden' but that was because new ground was being prepared. In this book, she fortifies the structures that she built earlier.

A book to be put in the not-to-be-missed category.

I couldn't wait to read the next section in this fascinating book. Dolores relays to us the direct testimony of a few contactees. And she herself, while not an experiencer, is delightfully honest and simple. I found the testimony fascinating and very revealing and am anxious to read the sequel, which I've ordered. It seems to me that something really big is happening, and I dare say something wonderful. Books like these are the first signs of a stunning reality that I believe is now gradually unfolding.

I was drawn to Delores' work through similarities of the messages between her work, and the very first book I read, "The Andreasson Affair", by Ray Fowler. His book was published in the early 80's, (or late 70's!!), but the messages all seem to be saying the same thing. We have gone from 'nuts & bolts' study of the UFO issue, to what seems to be the true underlying purpose: Spiritual Growth. I am sure that many did not expect this to be the end result of years of scientific research, but overall, that seems to be the pieces of the emerging puzzle. I devoured the book in two days, and am looking forward to her coming revelations in "The Convoluted Universe".

Priceless! Mind blowing state-of-the-art ET information. This book really helps you to understand the ET mindset. Fear of ETs is like fear of ghosts and fear of any unknown - it dissipates with knowledge and understanding. Here's 556 pages cram-packed with fabulous information. Thank you, Dolores. I can't wait for your next book The Convoluted Universe to be released with even more paradigm shifting information.

First of all, I have personally met Delores Cannon. She is a very sincere, genuinely likable woman who is dedicated to uncovering the mysteries that may ultimately do much good in helping humanity find it's direction.

This book is truly a 'wake up call' - in that it sheds light on underground sinister operations. We have been duped by our own government (no suprise) and once again the wool covers our blind eyes.

Find out the real reasons for the alien presense - READ THIS BOOK!

Dolores Cannon continues to offer food for thought whether a believer in alien life forms or not. This provocative book stimulates the mind into considering just what mankind is doing to the planet and what would help to make a difference. With the growing problems of pollution and violence in society, perhaps an alternative source of help is at hand with the coming of the millenium. The Earth is more valuable than realized by most. The reader may be amazed to discover that some of what is discussed could be happening to them without consciously being aware yet not without their permission. I recommend this book to those with an open mindness for possibilities. There is much to learn...perhaps this is an excellent starting point for the future.

I'm fairly open minded about the Alien topic, math alone supports the notion. I do believe we are visited and observed/studied for reasons that are largely unknown, I believe abductions have taken place and I likewise believe gov'ts have made a concerted effort to suppress/discredit such accounts because in general, the public is easily panicked by the unknown. However, my first exposure to Cannon's writing tells me this belongs in the fiction category.

Cannon's position during the book is that her experience as a regression hypnotist takes a turn that becomes her new life's work, unearthing suppressed memories of alien abduction victims. She discovers in the first third of her book that the Aliens have the means to cloud memories in layers and can make themselves appear in less threatening forms, as well as being able to communicate telepathically. Halfway through the book, she stumbles onto such a patient who during a hypnosis session, spontaneously becomes a living two way radio, with the Alien using the patient's voice to communicate via telepathy. All the while this exchange is going on, Cannon stresses that her first priority is doing no harm to the patient in helping them cope with these traumas, and the Alien replies that is why it has decided to communicate with her, because she is a more spiritually evolved individual than most and is a responsible person whom has come to their attention. During this session she asks a number of questions, all of which have very benevolent answers to them, amounting to the Aliens are here to help/watch us join a galactic brotherhood of enlightened souls. During her series of questions she learns that Aliens exist on different vibration frequencies than we do, as do entire solar systems, and that "come down to our level" is draining and sometimes even painful to them. It sets the stage for her meta-physics framework in which the rest of the communiques refer to.

As the book progresses she encounters a select few other patients who act as living communication devices (again via telepathic remote interface) but with other species, one of which is a synthetic life form blessed with telepathic abilities just like all the other nice Aliens. They all share this agenda of bringing us into the spiritual fold of advanced humanity because that's what their High Council wants, a group that is supposedly the most advanced of the alien races and regards us with great benevolence. During this period of her investigations, she learns that the Aliens are worried about what we're doing with our planet and that our life form is so precious to them that they want to take steps to seed a 2nd Earth with our kind just in case we blow this one up. The book goes into additional posits of light meta-physics and pseudo spiritual science, including a astral construct of a library tended to by guardians that these alien's also access as part of the life/death/reincarnation cycle. I was amused at this point of her communiques with the Aliens through her patients that she was concerned about encountering skepticism and "negativity", and that it was harmful to her practice. The Aliens reassured her that they were aware of this and would take steps to protect Cannon from this because she is a rare enlightened soul and they would like to reveal more to her to write about so as to accelerate Humanity's spiritual evolution and to finally join the galactic brotherhood.

What is disappointing to me is that I believe in Aliens, that abductions have taken place and that hypnosis can aid one in recalling suppressed memories. I read this book with no preconceived notions or expectations, other than I was going to be reading a hypnosis therapists accounts of abduction victims, putting together the pieces of a greater puzzle. Instead it turns out its feel good astro new age material.

There is a hunger in people to find meaning and hope as the complexities of our modern civilization bombards us with shallow consumerism; all the while being aware that there are too many people on the planet and life sustaining resources are dwindling at a increasing pace and solutions that arise are often at odds with the living biosphere of our home. We sense on a gut level, conflict is inevitable, and the best way to fuel war is to breed hate through propaganda, religious or political. Despite placating news reports and assurances from benevolent seeming authorities, we sense this on a level below conscious thought, and that pushes us to find solace somewhere, to be able to believe in something other than the vengeful/angry oriented religions that dominate our planet's belief system. That hunger for solace and hope is preyed upon by books of this nature IMHO and anyone seeking unbiased recordings of factual accounts of alien encounters will not find it in these pages or any other from this author.
