    A thought-provoking journey into the metaphysical.
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2016*

The author takes the reader on a complex but fascinating journey into his assessment of UFOs, fairies, elves, gnomes (and even 'crop circles') and the like, arguing these visions all share a common source, a source that is both devoid of physical substance yet able to project a degree of physicality.  As well stated by other reviewers, the author weaves together many documented sightings of all of these mysterious entities, offering an explanation steeped in Jungian philosophy of the 'collective unconscious' and 'archetypes', the writings of ancient Greeks, Romantic poets and writers and others to make his case.  These visions are both 'real' and 'unreal' (in a strictly materialistic sense).  They emanate from the 'world soul' and the individual counterpart, the intuitive ego.  They are an integral part of our existence which manifest themselves in different guises, based upon the prevailing culture of the percipients.In order to fully appreciate this rather scholarly work (although it is not stuffy and dry), it would be beneficial for the reader to have a good, basic handle on the works of Jung, John Keel (who believed UFOs and other enigmatic visions were 'ultraterrestrials' or 'elementals'), the works of Dr. Jacques Vallee ( including his books 'Passport to Magonia'  and most all,  'Dimentions'), Christian doctrine, Greek mythology and perhaps cultural anthropology. If armed with such a background, the work makes a lot of sense, and gives the reader much to contemplate.  In addition, a very similar take on this topic can be found in Keith Thompson's 'Angels and Aliens, UFOs and the Mythic Imagination'.Does it resolutely answer the question, particularly with regard to the UFO phenomenon?  Not for me. Like other works seeking to provide a 'solution', the book offers up selective examples. When an obscure British 'UFO sighting', for example, is determined to be simply the moon, the implication is that such perceptual errors are the norm.  The author also states that UFO sightings (as well as photos and videos) are ephemeral, somewhat like ghosts, and are never seen in such a way as to provide perspective; they aren't seen in relation to buildings or other material objects.  That may have been so when the book was published, but in the years since, there has been an explosion of photos and videos, sometimes taken by many different people with different cameras. He fails to adequately explain the solid physicality of the enigma.  Also puzzling is the idea (brought forth by others as well) that the phenomenon expresses itself based upon the culture; that UFOs are just the contemporary image.  If this is so, then why are there so many images from antiquity (paintings, cave drawings, coins, etc.) that show what appear to be, when seen by modern eyes, UFOs?  Such objects would have no meaning to people in early history, so they became 'flaming shields' and so on.Within the context of Mr. Harpur's work, the points raised above flow from the 'rational ego' holding dominance.  While this may be the case, it is an unavoidable aspect of the human condition.For those with a truly open mind, the book can provide a fascinating perspective, quite far apart from the usual theories.  I found that after reading the book, I felt a near compulsion to revisit the early works (1940s and 50s) of Meade Layne.  His notion of what he called 'etherians', or higher intelligences existing in higher vibrational 'planes', able to slip into and out of our word by changing their rate of vibration from denser to less dense, becomes more compelling as a model.While I do not feel the author has solved these mysteries, I can't emphatically say he is wrong.  I can, however, emphatically state that this is an important work, well worth reading.  You may agree or disagree, but it will make you think.

    An interesting and well-written book
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2022*

This book finds a very sincere way to draw you in. There is no other book like it. As hard as the author tries to write as a neutral scholar, this is an emic (religious) text and not a book of scholarship, but that contributes to rather than detracts from it's charm. It manages to strafe a weird line between scientific and mythological paradigms, between Neoplatonism, Blake, Jung, and the paranormal. Really enjoyable and warm. Thank you.

    Patrick Harpur is my favorite author.
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2020*

This was the first book of his that I ever read. It was so different, more so than any other book I had ever read. Since, I have consumed all of Patrick Harpur's writings. He is a special kind of thinker, one whose writings are ensouled. I cannot recommend this book enough.  Along with Jeffrey Kripal, there are few writers who I've found that can strike such a balance between prose, information, and wonder through their work.  He has that rare mythological perspective that employs all the tools of supercomparativism (to use a P.K. Dick term).  If you are a "believer" - then Harpur may not strike a chord with you. But if you are an "imaginer" - then he is for you. Believe nothing, imagine everything.
