<p>This book looks worth checking out, especially given Kripal's academic street cred. I've never been convinced Strieber is not "pulling a Castaneda" with his <em>Communion</em> books, but I nevertheless feel a personal connection or resonance with important parts of his account. Shortly after I had one of the most powerful visionary / initiatory experiences of my life, I happened to pick up <em>Communion</em> as a fun "airport read" while on a trip somewhere and was struck by strong parallels between Strieber's story and what I had just undergone. I wrote him a letter about this and his response was professional and non-committal, but he did close with, "there may be more to your 'dream' than you currently imagine." I'm curious about what the "more" might be as explored in this book.<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Super-Natural-Vision-Unexplained/dp/1101982322" target="_blank">The Super Natural</a>, by Whitley Strieber and Jeffrey J, Kripal</p>
