REVIEWS ® Budd Hopkins’ lecture tapes. They are definitely worth getting. THE SPIRIT OF NATURE By: Michael J. Roads Cost: $35.00 Available: See advert on page 49. This is a video taped lecture of Michael speaking at 100 Mile House, a community in the USA. It was taken during his tour of the US and Europe during the early part of this year. Getting me to review my own father's video-taped talk is not easy. I get to hear him talk anytime I want to - so being objective is another matter. I does take him about 20 minutes or so to get into what I call his ‘stride’. This is the point at which I stopped wincing at his awkwardness while he groped from some inspiration, but wow, when he hits that inspiration, which he does - words can not describe it. facts than that of any other scenario. If one grants that the visitors are real and in the end a part of the physical uni- verse, then Ray Fowler may have come very close to discovering what they are doing.” From the Foreword by Whitley Strieber, author of Communion. It is quite an amazing book, the expe- riences are amazing and it is an amaz- ing concept to digest. As there are not many balanced books available on this subject, this book is recommended reading. ELUTE FIRSTHAND obi OF UFO ABDUCTIONS SECRET LIFE - Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions By: David M. jacobs, Ph.D. Publ: Simon & Schuster, New York. Available: Eden Press (see advert on page 60), or maybe Sydney Esoteric Bookshop. The subject of UFO abductions is not going to go away, I think it will have to be faced and addressed by everyone before this century is out. This book tends to deal with the sub- ject from a more ‘Budd Hopkins’ approach, ie it does not draw many con- clusions about who is doing the abduct- ing, where they are from, or why. It focuses largely on the experiences of the victims, if victims is the right word to use. It is an experience which cer- tainly leaves many people traumatised as a result. When he in his stride on a subject - everyone feels inspired and profoundly affected, he does not feel like my father anymore, and you realise the meaning of life. That's it really. I could say, that the subject material covers the relationship between mankind and nature, or mankind and itself, but that would be a gross under- statement. If you desire more information on this subject, I would refer you the arti- cle in this edition, plus the advert at the end of the article as a source to obtain As with Budd Hopkins’ research, the author relies a lot on the use of hypno- tism to draw memories to the surface.
