Other Worlds, Other Universes: Playing The Reality Game
is a stimulating selection of consciousness expanding topics which include The Search For Extraterrestrial Life; Other Civilizations: The Prehistory Of Earth; Other Lifeforms: A Look At UFOs; Other Dimensions: The Astral Plane and Beyond; and Other Universes and Return to Godhead.
The introduction begins: "This book is an attempt to expand your consciousness by playing The Reality Game. The term originates with Brad Steiger in his book
Mysteries of Time and Space
, where he suggests that humanity has been challenged to participate in a kind of cosmic contest--The Reality Game. The objective is to know reality, to understand ourselves and the cosmos as fully as possible. If man can apprehend the true significance of certain clues; if he can master the proper moves, he may obtain a clearer picture of his true role in the cosmic scheme of things--a role that is decidedly different from what common sense tells him it is."
Contributors include Timothy Leary, who while serving time in a California prison for experimenting with psychedelics, donated an essay from his book,
Terra II ... A Way Out
. Astrophysicist Jacques Vallee contributed a chapter from
Passport to Magonia
, his classic book on UFOs and folklore. Other writers include Rudolf Steiner, Yogi Ramacharaka and D. Scott Rogo.
Kirkus Reviews called it "A bit of this, a pinch of that, toads' eyes and bat brains," making it
a must-read for anyone on the metaphysical truth trail.
