Five Star Book Reviews  

 John Jay Harper's experience of a nocturnal visit by his recently deceased best friend plunged him into a ten year exploration of cosmology, paranormal psychology, and later to the UFO phenomena. The marvelous result is a new body of coherent conclusions based upon the cutting edge theories and research studies of the top scientific thinkers on this planet. I feel especially qualified to assess the quality of his book because after a personal OBE in 1973, I devoted thirty years of my life to study the same topics listed in Harper's extensive bibliography. My forthcoming book focuses on the geometric foundation of energy patterns and their relation to the structure of physical matter and mind, so I fully appreciate Harper's excellent job of synthesizing massive amounts of data and making it comprehensible to the general reader. Tranceformers predicts a shift into cosmic consciousness by all human beings as a consequence of a "magnetic-reversal" of our Earth, Sun, and Milky Way Galaxy. He sees this transformation as profound as the one that fundamentalist religions refer to as the End Times. However, Dr. Harper is not a doomsday prophet in spite of his expectation of dramatic Earth Changes. Anyone striving to get prepared for the upheavals rushing toward us in the next decade will be a giant step ahead of his peers after reading how the Shamans of the 21st Century will lead humanity across uncharted territory through the opening of our third eye.

The crux of this book is that trance—the method employed by shamans, mediums, and other mystics—is the doorway to the fifth dimensional field of cosmic consciousness. He calls trance the "Rosetta Stone" that unlocks the mysteries of existence. Author Harper calls upon a wide variety of authors, including Alice Bailey, Jacob Boehme, Richard Bucke, Carlos Castaneda, Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, Albert Einstein, Stan Grof, Graham Hancock, Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, Charles Lindbergh, John Mack, Raymond Moody, Michael Morse, Oliver Lodge, Kenneth Ring, Gary Schwartz, Ian Stevenson, Ken Wilber, and scores of others in piecing together the very complex puzzle of consciousness and the meaning of life. He adds in his own mystical experiences and observations. Dr. Harper concludes that the universe is a hologram—one whole message. He sees our DNA molecule as the simplest form of a hologram. "Our DNA molecule serves as the monitor and the system clock of the cosmos tuned to the geomagnetic cycles of Gaia, our Sun, and Milky Way Galaxy," he explains. "This is what the shaman does in trance: taps into DNA transmissions." Harper draws from quantum physics, anthropology, biology, the Bible, mythology, abnormal psychology, near-death experiences, astronomy, astrology, crop circle studies, alien abductions, Egyptology, Mayan Cosmology, seemingly every conceivable source that lends itself to the mystery of consciousness and the meaning of life. It is an intriguing and fascinating read.
