An investigation into experiences of other realms of existence and contact with otherworldly beings *; Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the ';inner space' dimensions of our minds *; Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses *; Correlates science fiction's imaginal realms with psychedelic research For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences.
