BOOK REVIEW: PASSPORT TO MAGONIA
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
By Jacque Vallee
|
||
|
||
|
||
In his book "Passport to Magonia", Jacque Vallee, a computer scientist and
|
||
student of UFOlogy, traces the many parallels between the ancient myths of all
|
||
cultures and today's stories of UFO's. He goes on to propose that UFO
|
||
experiences are paranormal in nature and are the space-age equivalent of a
|
||
phenomenon that assumes different guises in different historical contexts.
|
||
Vallee suggests that human life is controlled by imagination and myth and that
|
||
paranormal experiences are the means by which man's ideas about himself and his
|
||
universe are constantly shaped. Such experiences, he adds, become especially
|
||
important in times of social stress. In his view the UFO phenomenon is the
|
||
present-day "tool" in this control system. The great mystery is whether this
|
||
control is part of man's genetic makeup or whether it is imposed upon him from
|
||
without -- through alien intervention.
