Communion by Whitley StrieberMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Philosophical Take I Didn’t Expect
I heard of this book for decades. It appeared to me a fundamental piece of literature for the UFO community, which stirred my interest. Why? I needed to know what made it special.
Reading this title, I discovered a philosophical view I hadn’t anticipated. The author was abducted multiple times, and his family appears to have been involved. He’s researched indepthly and communicated with other abductees, yet he maintains objectivity. That’s particularly rare in our modern times – refreshing even.
I loved what Whitley said about the visitors possibly being the first quantum experience. Before he wrote it, I said to author Sahara Foley how cool it was that Whitley implied the abduction was like bringing something into existence. I even likened it to quantum physics, stating something is both real and unreal until it it brought into existence.
I’m not sure I completely buy what the author is selling, but I can agree that the visitors are more than they seem. Whatever is happening should not be ridiculed or ignored. That benefits no one and stifles true research along with healing. I think Whitley has great ideas, which should be considered – everything should be considered at this point, especially as we’ve found a possible link to quantum physics.
I recommend this book if you are curious about anything unknown. Beyond UFOs and abductions, the message of communion is good. The historical information, the need to support people struggling with something traumatic, and the possible causes of these phenomenonal experiences are well presented. This is a great book of commentary on the human condition.
