Dr. Greg Little continues to solve and piece together the most profound enigmas into a comprehensive and understandable theory in this, his third book on paranormal phenomena. Well illustrated, Grand Illusions takes the reader on an adventure through reports of crashed saucers and alien intervention, conspiracies, solving mysterious disappearances, and into the world of science. Sacred Native American mound sites and rituals, the Cult of Osiris, near-death experiences, and the core of Masonic beliefs are addressed. Following the theories of Carl Jung and John Keel, Little shows how an intelligent energy from the electromagnetic energy spectrum intrudes into physical reality creating mystical and paranormal phenomena.

Well reasoned and occasionally amazing,

This review is from: Grand Illusions: The Spectral Reality Underlying Sexual Ufo Abductions, Crashed Saucers, Afterlife Experiences, Sacred Ancietn Ritual Sites, & Other Enigmas (Paperback)
Grand Illusions by Dr Gregory L Little is a reasonably well written book and presents a concise series of logical arguments, all of which appear to be based on good evidence.The book elegantly disposes of conspiracy theories and investigates a number of documented mysteries that later evaporate under detailed examination. It also gives a good historical account of the abduction phenomenon through the ages.Little deals well with the often slippery topic of Jungian archetypes and delves into the neurochemical basis for many `fringe' phenomena. Interestingly Little gives the reader detailed instruction on how to construct a psychomanteum, a device for meeting spectral beings (do so at your own risk!). There is really good chapter on the ancient Egyptians and their beliefs. Little provides an incredible explanation of one of the uses that the Great Pyramid might have been put to. The book is let down in part by the poor quality and dubious relevance of some of the photographic material and by John Michael McCarthy's unnecessary illustrations. With a little more attention paid to presentation I feel that Grand Illusions would easily been worth 5 stars. Little's final conclusions seem to fit all the known facts and are startling in their implications, but I'm at a loss to see how anyone could prove that the EM theory is true. In conclusion this is a must-read book for those who are complete UFO sceptics and for those who believe that extra terrestrial craft are visiting the Earth. It provides evidence for a theory that may not be popular, but is hard to disprove.

This review is from: Grand Illusions: The Spectral Reality Underlying Sexual Ufo Abductions, Crashed Saucers, Afterlife Experiences, Sacred Ancietn Ritual Sites, & Other Enigmas (Paperback)
I picked up this book while browsing in the library and had to take it home to completely digest it. This book has something for everyone. For those who believe there are a lot of liars and cheats out there telling UFO tales for thier own profit, Little gives compelling evidence that you are quite right. On the other hand, if you would like to believe there is something disturbing going on in our universe that transcends our physical world, then you will likely get more than you bargained for in this book. Little clearly explains his theory of the spiritual world in terms of electormagnetic energy phenomena. He bases much of his thinking on the theories set forth by psychiatrist Carl Jung,MD. The theory becomes quite intriguing in that it ties together the answer to many questions that have plagued me. I think he has hit on the unifying theory of the spirit world. Questions such as; Is there any possibilty of contemporary paranormal phenomena and Biblical visions and prophesies being somehow related? Is the presence of many religions in the world contradictory to the belief that we all recognise the same spiritual world. Why do I suspect there is a true UFO puzzle but find it hard to accept the government conspiracy coverup theories explaining why we don't have any evidence of spaceships or aliens? If there are UFOs, why does it seem that most of the sightings are at night? These have been some of my answered questions after reading this book and I feel more convinced now through reason that the spirital world is force to be reckoned with.
