I have read it with interest and pleasure and offer the following book review, which you can use as you determine. " Mary Rodwell's new book, "The Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life", is a wonderful and most helpful book. True to its subtitle, "The Awakening" provides evidence for the postive and optimistic frame-of-reference with which it reports the many Star Visitor encounters with humans (experiencers). "The early chapters walk the experiencer or other interested reader through the stages of doubt, uncertainty and anxiety which many undergo in trying to deal with such contacts. Mary's lovely chapter on the Star Children is itself worth the price of the book. She does a magnificent job of relating, through first-person stories, the extraordinary abilities and outlook that these advanced children have as a consequence of their or their parents' contact by Star Visitors. "Following a useful chapter on implants (extraterrestrial or human), the book explores the "high sense" [ESP] abilities" which experiencers acquire during and after contact. Mary goes on to outline the various areas in which experiencers "awaken to our multidimensional selves." "This book is buttressed by scores of direct reports from experiencers Mary has interviewed. As a mental health professional, she can and does attest to their mental soundness and convincingness. The weight of this testimony makes the growthful outcomes reported that much more an extraordinary uplifting report. As an author of an earlier similar book, "Close Extraterrestrial Encounters", I can say that I am glad my book sold out before now. Mary Rodwell's book is a superior and contemporary tour-de-force of the human-Star Visitor encounter phenomenon transforming our world. "The Awakening" (ISBN# 1-903782-03-1) is available from bookstores or the publisher, Beyond Publications: info@beyondpublications.com ." Page 2 I wish you all success with this fine book. In the light, Richard Boylan, Ph.D.
