Leo Sprinkle has written a thoughtful, inspiring book from his long years as a university professor, a scientific researcher of unusual human experiences, a philosopher, and a helper/healer of thousands of persons.

The objective of the book, in Leo’s words, is “to offer one person’s views of the journey of the soul, the significance of UFO activity, and the role of the individual person in human evolution…Thus I share with any reader these personal events that have helped me to learn to love myself, others, and life itself, to become aware, and to acknowledge the interactions of humans, Extraterrestrial beings and higher beings.”

The book shows his own unusual experiences, his spiritual evolution, his development of interests and abilities in self-hypnosis, psychic awareness, reincarnation and past-life therapy, spirit releasement, UFO abductions and caring contact with ET’s, “psychological resonance,” and his unique method of doing “life readings.”

He interweaves his long-term struggles to have his interests and methods accepted by his professor colleagues at the University of Wyoming, his failure to become tenured, his resignation from his professorial post, and his continuing explorations in his private practice as a counseling psychologist.

Leo includes fascinating perspectives on the effects of ET contact on humans by notable people such as S. Ann Canary and Ida Kannenberg. He offers his own valuable studies of ET “experiencers” and people with “possible other lives,” as well as other people’s research about paranormal phenomena.

Leo has been a Godsend for thousands of people who confided in him about their paranormal and ET experiences. With his special methods of “tuning in” to each person, he has helped them find relief, a belief in their own sanity, and profound meaning in their experiences. He inspires us all to develop our consciousness, as individuals and as humankind, in order to cooperate with our more highly evolved cosmic family. I recommend this book for everyone interested in these fields, and especially for everyone working with “abductees.”
