Dr. John Mack Legitimized the Extraterrestrial Experience

Dr. John Mack Legitimized the Extraterrestrial Experience. In 1977, he became the Head of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, which position he occupied until his death in 2004. In the early 1990s, Mack commenced a decade-plus psychological study of 200 men and women who reported recurrent alien encounter experiences. Such encounters had seen some limited attention from academic figures, R. Leo Sprinkle perhaps being the earliest, in the 1960s. Mack, however, remains probably the most esteemed academic to have studied the subject. He initially suspected that such persons were suffering from mental illness, but when no obvious pathologies were present in the persons he interviewed, his interest was piqued. He used hypnotherapy to access deep memories, and I believe that had he lived and was able to continue his research, he would have been able to expand his research to include telepathic encounters of higher consciousness communication with extraterrestrials. In fact, I believe that most of the encounters were telepathic visionary contacts that were non physical, no matter how vivid, and sensory they were.

*In 1977, Mack won the Pulitzer Prize for his book A Prince of Our Disorder on T.E. Lawrence. Mack published over 150 scientific articles and eleven books in his career. He died after being hit by a drunk driver while crossing a street in London. He was in London attending a conference.
