Mandelker, a San Francisco New Age counselor, believes he is an ET (extraterrestrial). His two dozen interviewees?among them a hospital technician, a nurse, a psychic, an architect, a housepainter?all maintain that they are from other planets or dimensions. Mandelker, who spent years immersed in Buddhist, Taoist and Zen meditation, classifies some respondents as "Wanderers," who, born of human parents, gradually awakened to their ET souls. Others typify the "Walk-in," meaning someone whose body and mind were suddenly taken over by an ET entity. Mandelker's informants express little interest in nuts-and-bolts UFOs; instead, they talk of nonphysical beings, expanded awareness, information channeled from spirit-guides or ET entities. Interviewees predict a familiar scenario: impending global eco-catastrophe followed by the spiritual awakening of humanity's remnants. Unfortunately, there is nothing here to convince the reader that these alleged ETs are something other than victims of delusion.

From the Publisher
Known as Wanderers, Walk-ins, and Star People, the ET souls on Earth share a desire to serve humanity during a troubled time. Each of these people spoke of a coming planetary apocalypse, of a death and rebirth of life on Earth, as being major events in the life of the Universe.
Whether or not you accept it as truth, FROM ELSEWHERE presents a compelling and credible examination of an unforgettable group of individuals who are firm in their beliefs, and ardent in their desire to affect our lives for the better.
From the Author
This book is the culmination of many years of personal integration -- joining the wisdom of Eastern religions, Western esoteric psychology, UFO/ET studies, and my work with clients in spiritual counseling. UNIVERSAL VISION will definitely change the way you look at your life on planet Earth! This is, most assuredly, not a typical New Age book. I know you will come to appreciate it.
