Presents the link between near-death experiences and extraterrestrial encounters
• Looks at research from early pioneers in the field of alien contact, including Greta Woodrew, Leo Sprinkle, Whitley Streiber, and John Mack
• Shares case studies of individuals who have undergone near-death experiences that coincided with extraterrestrial contact
• Tells the story of the author’s own near-death experiences, the unexpected knowledge they offered, and their revelations of the author’s past lives
Near-death experience (NDE) researcher and spiritual counselor P. M. H. Atwater draws upon decades of scholarship, personal experiences, and testimonials from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) to explore the connections between NDEs and alien contact.
The author presents the research of pioneers in the field of alien interaction, including Greta Woodrew, Leo Sprinkle, Kenneth Ring, Whitley Streiber, and John Mack. She also shares 38 case study interviews with people who have had alien encounters and NDEs. Her findings reveal that people experiencing these phenomena report similar experiences of interactions with “beings of light,” telepathic communication, and journeys to otherworldly realms.
Atwater also reports on her own NDEs from the 1970s, revealing how they may demonstrate her past life as a space-traveling extraterrestrial named Arrakkus. The author provides transcripts of recorded conversations that Arrakkus had by speaking through her while she was in a trance state. She explains how her personal experiences and research have yielded conclusions that bear upon the fields of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and theology, and she discusses the implications of these findings for a deeper understanding of our potentials.
“Blending memoir, rigorous investigation, and vivid witness testimonies, P. M. H. Atwater masterfully unveils profound patterns linking alien encounters and near-death experiences. A groundbreaking book that challenges us to expand our place in the stars—much like the enigmatic visitors it illuminates.” * Keith Thompson, author of The UFO Paradox *
“A powerful and deeply moving exploration of the farthest frontiers of human consciousness. With fearless honesty and poetic clarity, Atwater weaves together personal experience, scholarly depth, and spiritual insight to reveal a universe far more interconnected and mysterious than we imagine. More than a groundbreaking contribution to near-death studies and ufology, this book is a compelling invitation to expand our very understanding of reality. This book is profound, accessible, and an unforgettable essential read.” * Jeffrey Long, MD, author of Evidence of the Afterlife *
“Atwater ventures into one of the most overlooked and yet vital frontiers of human experience. With her characteristic courage and clarity, she brings together two phenomena long treated as separate and reveals their deep structural relationship. This book expands the conversation far beyond survival after death or extraterrestrial contact. Atwater has given us a work of lasting importance—courageous, integrative, and profoundly illuminating.” * Jim Bruton, author of The In Between *
“Aliens and the Near-Death Experience by P. M. H. Atwater is genius. While there are scores of books about NDEs and alien abductions, there has never been a book about people who have experienced both these phenomena until now.” * Mark Anthony, JD, author of The Afterlife Frequency *
“Atwater takes an unblinking, bold look at how the nature of the NDE opens us up to communication with aliens and the aftereffects of that contact. Her never-before-released conversations with Arrakkus give us a rare insight into into her, as well as our own, alien history, biology, and technology.” * Scott Taylor, EdD, America’s foremost facilitator of near-death and shared death meditations a *
“This book provides profound insights into the relationship between NDE and ET/UFO experiences. At this juncture on Earth, humanity deserves to know deeper truths regarding who we are and how we fit in the cosmos. While information in this book may be jarring and shocking, its wisdom of authentic personal experience is essential now for humanity’s global awakening. It’s brilliant!” * Cynthia Sue Larson, author of Quantum Jumps *
“Destined to become a classic—a groundbreaking work at the crossroads of the mystical and the mysterious. P. M. H. Atwater continues to blaze trails where few dare to look, shedding compassionate light on the most unconventional, yet profoundly transformative, intersections of human experience.” * A. J. Parr, spiritual journalist, podcast host, and coauthor of An Urgent Message for Humanity *
“Atwater’s book is a must-read for anyone interested in the topics of the relationship between NDEs and UFOs as well as the relationship between consciousness and the contact modalities. Highly recommended.” * Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez, director of Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (CCRI) *
“Atwater masterfully weaves together anecdotal insight with scholarly research, validating the well-documented correlation between alien encounters and near-death experiences. This is a paradigm-shifting volume for the ages!” * Alexis Brooks, journalist and author of Conscious Musings *
