Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century

New Book Review by Reality Press Editor-in-Chief, California nnTranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century is the true story of this author’s contact with a "dead" physicist after he fell into a trance state spontaneously some six months after his colleague suffered a fatal heart attack in Alabama. But indeed it was this telepathic communication that ultimately forced him to seek scientific answers to spiritual questions about "life-after-death." nnFor more than a decade, Harper embarked on a methodical vision quest performing painstaking research into "abnormal physics and paranormal psychology," as he says, to put forth the case for our specie’s immortality. This headstrong but heartfelt effort would first lift him up to the heights of ecstasy then plunge him down to the depths of despair, as he realized that we keep killing these messages—if not the messengers, anymore. nnThroughout, Harper summons an astounding array of overwhelming facts that lend credence to the story-telling myths of long-lived civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians, and the death-denying schools of thought espoused by the Gnostics and Freemasons. nnSpecifically, Harper has reviewed the old literature and built a new theory on solid intellectual ground that includes considerations from anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, astrology, biology, physics, psychology, history, medicine, and theology to name but a few disciplines. nnNotwithstanding, this is an easy-to-read honest book not to be overlooked as Harper spews scientific theory and salutes spiritual teachings equally. He sees no contradiction between these two models of reality. There is also a faith in the wisdom of nature here and a rare chance to find solace in times-of-trouble by reviewing the insights gleaned from Harper's communion with the "realm of the dead" and God. nnIn summary, Harper offers insights far from the simplistic optimism of New Age writers through a deep sense of "knowing," and that becomes obvious in the preface itself; yet his truth rings true from the first page to the last one. He never loses sight of his objective either, explaining how the mystical experiences of every man, woman, and child throughout the ages is an initiation into the fifth dimension of the shaman’s consciousness, a precursor to the End Time "shift of the ages" for humanity worldwide in era-2012 AD.
