Book Reviews of Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies
Book Review: Comfort to sufferers of alien abduction experiences?
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Strassman's concept that the experience of alien abduction can be related to spontaneous DMT release, combined with Dr. Frecska's theory that DMT can open up information channeling (and these experiences resemble to shamanic initiation) may provide comfort to alien abductees. The authors' approach gives validity to abduction reports (in some way those are more than mere illusions), but at the same time abductees do not have to worry that their experience literally happens in ordinary reality (regardless how real it may feel). Besides the effort of rational interpretation, putting alien abduction into a spiritual-shamanistic framework opens the way for therapy-transformation.
The authors of this book are in line with others like John Mack and Jacques Vall?e, who have suggested that the dichotomy, 'real' versus 'imaginary', may be too simplistic; that a proper understanding of spiritual phenomena may require a reevaluation of our concept of the nature of reality.

Summary of Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies
An investigation into experiences of other realms of existence and contact with otherworldly beings. Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the "inner space" dimensions of our minds
. Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses
. Correlates science fiction's imaginal realms with psychedelic research
For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. Inner Paths to Outer Space presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances such as DMT allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these "alien" worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.
