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 studies with interviews of people who have had alien encounters and NDEs. Her findings reveal that features of the two phenomena frequently overlap with people reporting 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. Aliens and the Near-Death Experience considers the nature of NDEs, investigates the potential links between NDEs and encounters with aliens, and discusses the implications of these findings for a deeper understanding of our potentials.
