A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

A scholar of religion asks what models of mind, imagination, and reality become possible when anomalous experiences are neither accepted literally nor dismissed in advance.

Good starting place if…

You want a conceptually adventurous map for thinking about UFOs, souls, time, and extraordinary experience beyond a simple belief-versus-debunking contest.

Know before you begin…

The book advances a speculative philosophical proposal. Ontological openness is not evidence adjudication, and its use of physics and anomalous reports should be weighed alongside domain-specific scholarship.
