Portals and Corridors: A Guide to Hyperspace Travel [Paperback]

Monica Szu-Whitney (Author), Gary Whitney (Author), Terence McKenna (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 23, 1999

For an era flooded with icons of almond-eyed aliens, stock angels, and computer-generated Martians, as well as the disappointingly pious sermons of Pleiadians and Sirians, Monica Szu-Whitney and Gary Whitney have opened a window into the actual vastness of the universe. Through the admittedly imperfect tools of our minds and 'imaginality' they have glimpsed the inhabitants of that domain known as hyperspace, subspace, or the astral realm; and they have presented us with their remarkable portraits and words. The beings in this book live far from us in actual time-space and are hard to see, but their destinies and ours are intertwined, and they bear critical messages for all inhabitants of the Earth.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I believe that they have made a charming and interesting effort to bring into the life of consciousness and collective discourse some of the denizens of that infinite domain that we call, without knowing what the words mean, the Human Imagination."
—Terence McKenna, author of The Archaic Revival, True Hallucinations, and Food of the Gods

"In a society obsessed with outer space, Monica Szu-Whitney has begun to penetrate the nonordinary levels of inner space, a vast, largely unexplored region that traditional peoples often call the spirit world. Her illustrated fieldwork will be of great interest to contemporary students of shamanism and shamanic journeying."
—Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., author of Spiritwalker: Messages from the Future and Medicinemaker: Mystic Encounters on the Shaman's Path

5.0 out of 5 stars Can we access other realities through imagination?, July 19, 2002

This review is from: Portals and Corridors: A Guide to Hyperspace Travel (Paperback)

Monica Szu-Whitney is a psychic painter who allows images to arise from the psyche. She then draws or paints these images in a process she calls "tunneling". Gary Whitney, Monica's partner, assists in her inner voyages and records her experiences. The book presents 24 such inner journeys in story form. With 32 color drawings and a black-and-white drawing for each chapter, the art is unusual -- both haunting and compelling. Are these true life forms from other dimensions? Monica's encounters suggest we can receive healing techniques, wisdom and entertainment from these interdimensional beings.
The Whitney's work validates the imagination as a tool for accessing material buried in the individual and collective unconscious. She goes into the deeper psychic layers, the substrata of her consciousness, draw out and paints these images.
The book raises the question of whether humans can access other realities and other dimensions. Can imagination coupled with will bring us into contact with other intelligences in the universe? Whether you agree or not, the concept is intriguing and likely to inspire others to plumb their psychic depths.
This book deepened my trust in the power of imagination. The poet William Blake referred to imagination as another sensory organ. Read this book, and you'll never scoff at imagination as a trifling capacity. It can be a portal into wonderful and mysterious realms.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very special and important book - I highly recommend it!, January 26, 2002

By 

"lmwaine" (MA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Portals and Corridors: A Guide to Hyperspace Travel (Paperback)

Monica's portraits are very special and I feel that they are very important at this point and time in Earth's evolution. Each portrait seems to radiate such love, peace, and healing, and yet are thought provoking and stimulating. While some people may be challenged and confronted by some of the beings that have been drawn, I have always been fascinated and attracted to them. Some of these portraits radiate such happiness and delight that one cannot help but smile. I feel that the portraits, especially of the inter-dimensional beings, help to heal flawed perceptions of what is "normal", transmuting prejudice and expanding one's consciousness by expanding and breaking the paradigms of normality and of what constitutes intelligent life forms and what it means to be "human". The stories of these beings are fascinating and well-written and are filled with ideas and notions supported by the hyper-dimensional model of physics. These portraits, I feel, are preparing us for the future, forcing us to not only think globally, but to think universally.

Monica's story is compelling and is an inspiration to us all. She is a master of her craft.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars the future of fae fieldwork, November 27, 2005

By 

baphomette de medici (blue state of pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Portals and Corridors: A Guide to Hyperspace Travel (Paperback)

incredible work. the land exlored here is not made of soil, but does lie somewhere between what we have deemed "faery" and what has been labeled "alien" or extraterrestial"

the power of this book is in what it suggests to each person who reads it with an "open" mind...

there are some eerie resonances here. see who in this gallery of the transWyrd is drawn to you. or vice versa...

:)
