Glimpses into Other Worlds

Glimpses Into Other Worlds:Extraterrestrials from Outer Space, Ultraterrestrials of Other Dimensions, and the Inner Realm of the Soul or Consciousness by Kristy Shanahan is a T rex in a fluffy costume that delivers Easter eggs. Why do I say that? This book has the most extreme, most fascinating juxtapositions in subject matter I have ever found. The author has worked in science her whole life, earning 2 masters and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the age of 64. At the same time, she has had an ardent life-long interest in psychic and other-worldly phenomena, dating from her step grandmother who had the "gift". This dual passion produces a book that ranges from the intricacies of astrophysics and cutting-edge discoveries on the phenomenon of consciousness to a vast coverage of UFO and psychic data. She approaches each subject she covers with a neutral eye, a passion for research, and probing questions for the reader. I followed the coverage of the possible ascensions of the Old Testament prophets Enoch, Elijah, the Hindu Cosmic Egg, and numerous other ancient and modern theological issues, as well as new findings for wormholes and the asteroid belt. There is data on the correlation of UFOs and our nuclear weapon storehouses. Ms. Shanahan has an astonishing amount of data on each subject and presents it all in understandable text. She breaks up the density of the information with an amazing number of beautiful photos and illustrations, many full-page, again ranging from ancient mythology to galaxy curiosities, and includes newspaper documentation as well as scientific papers. She took the time to create a chart of all the types of aliens encountered in various times and areas and sorted them by origin, appearance, qualities/abilities, and miscellaneous information. That is true dedication to one's research! I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone who loves hard science, psychic and other-worldly phenomena, theology, history, mythology, beautiful photography, and gobsmacking facts!

Glimpses into Other Worlds will take you on a personal journey through other times and dimensions. It is mostly nonfiction, but also stretches the imagination to consider other possibilities and controversies. It is filled with spectacular images from NASA of our universe and other fantastic artwork.You will begin in our universe in the past and consider what some of the ancients thought about the heavens and gods from the heavens through their oral traditions, myths, legends, holy books, and history. From there, you will read recent information on UFOs (now UAPs) and some recent well-known UFO incident reports. The words of the witnesses to these events give clear and compelling testimony and impact our limited knowledge of our universe. Then, we will examine some of the scientific and technological wonders of what science tells us about our universe.From there, you will consider other dimensions from differing perspectives. You will look at ancient oral traditions, myths, legends, and historical beliefs about other dimensions (other worlds, realms). You will learn what scientists currently theorize about other dimensions.Finally, you consider the inner dimension or realm. You will learn about recent prophets, psychics, and scientific attempts to use their skills. Then you will seek the ancient wisdom of classic metaphysics, Hindu metaphysics, and the spirituality of diverse cultures. You will consider recent scientific support for connections between the consciousness of your mind and the entire universe through quantum physics. And this will return you to our universe again, hopefully with new insights into life.As T. S. Eliot said so well:"We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time.1Enjoy your explorations.1. Eliot, T.
