5.0 out of 5 stars
Wisdom from the least likely of places, March 13, 2003
This review is from: Transformation of a Common Man: The Brian Scott Story (The Play of Life) (Paperback)
I have to admit expecting NOT to finish this book. It's such an oddity, unpredictably moving from the mundane to the profound. I kept waiting for the, "we will save you" promise from the alleged extraterrestrials, or for the, "Brian Scott is our only hope" admonition. I kept waiting for the usual cliches, or the little inconsistencies and contradictions that would place this book next the works of "the literature's" shucksters and fantasists. But it never happened. Over 700 pages later, I finished the book and found myself inspired and awed. It's hard to describe why. The story is somehow real and mundane, despite the fact much of the book is utterly incredible. It's not a very well polished book. There is no glossy coating, everything is there in all its coarse detail, from bitter domestic disputes to failing friendships, love affairs, etc. But the story is riveting and frequently moving and frightening. It delves into dangerous territory (e.g., aliens and demonic possession) without preaching one explanation or another. And when it's all over, what's the bottom line? There is no easy way out. To grow in wisdom, we each have our own work to do. Brian Scott's story shows that we need balance. We have to live in the world and yet grow in spirit. These two, united, allow us to realize our greatest potential. Everything we need is right here, with us now. In Brian's case, he had some extraordinary guides and was privy to amazing insight and revelations. But it all boils down, ultimately, to you and I. We can travel the dark road of stagnation and fear, or strive for growth and transformation. Brian made his choice, and life continues. We, too, have our choice. Let this book guide and inspire you to choose the right path. I will never forget this book. It still lingers in my heart and mind, and will likely remain there.

4.0 out of 5 stars
flawed, but important, February 7, 2003
This review is from: Transformation of a Common Man: The Brian Scott Story (The Play of Life) (Paperback)
This is an important book. I found the story to be compelling and particularly relevant to our immediate future. The story is written as a chronology of UFO contacts from the experiential point-of-view of the abductee. The thrust of the book is to bring attention to the purpose of the alien contacts, not to simply chronicle the UFO contacts themselves. I would have preferred this biographical story to have been written with more documentation, but probably no amount of supporting evidence would have swayed skeptics. Despite the lack of thorough references, the events of this story had a 'ring of truth' for me. As such, I am recommending this book as an important piece of the puzzle in the quest for understanding the history and future of the consciousness of man. This book can expand your horizons. If you doubt the existence of UFOs, I suggest you visit ... Dr. Greer['s website it] has collected testimonies from hundreds of credible witnesses in an effort to force the military to reveal their interactions with aliens. Enjoy.

Transformation of a Common Man rocks!!!, February 17, 2003
This review is from: Transformation of a Common Man: The Brian Scott Story (The Play of Life) (Paperback)
This is one of the most eye-opening books I have ever read! Jim you did an outstanding job of bringing Brian's story to the public. Very interesting diagrams that Brian has drawn found within the pages, especially the Photonic Matter drawing superimposed on the Cuzco time clock, found on page 537. Fascinating the Quantum Displacement passages staring on page 350..."The displacement of time, by the mind at nous 4, allowing matter and energy to be transported through space." quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Earth, the water and the people, I am. From the Island of the Sun, I have come, and I wish to return. I am Viracocha--I have knowledge of the People from my existence here, and within. My promise shall be kept--I shall comply to the people, within. With the first light of the sun, on the day of December 22, 2011 A.D., and from the Island of the Sun, I shall return. I am Ticci Viracocha, from the People. I am the spirit of the People, and of the Earth. I am from the Earth-- Viracocha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nous Laos Hikano"--The God-Mind Returns to the People, indeed. Thank you Brian for finally getting this message to the common people. You are a remarkable man in every way. You have literally changed my life, opened my eyes, and set me on an inevitable path. I have turned over my rock and like what I see. A small, good thing, yes? Peace and love Brian. From a future hill walker.
