Encounters

Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences: Explorations with UFOs, Dreams, Angels, AI and Other Dimensions

By: D. W. Pasulka

Narrated by: D. W. Pasulka

Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

A revolution is underway. For the first time in human history, we are at the cusp of experiencing contact with nonhuman life-forms of all kinds due to technological innovations and research into the experiences of people at the forefront of this development.

In Encounters, author D.W. Pasulka takes listeners to the forefront of this revolution, sharing the work of experts across a spectrum of fields who are working to connect humanity with unknown life-forms.

Most of us have visions of nonhuman encounters that are shaped far more by Hollywood than they are informed by the current research. Encounters rewrites our visions of nonhuman species by featuring the work and stories of contemporary innovators who are rethinking our most basic assumptions about life and its manifestations beyond our experience.

The author of American Cosmic, D.W. Pasulka is a professor of religion at UNC, Wilmington; her work as a scholar has given her the tools to systematically examine data that exceeds rational categories—exactly the skillset needed to parse the world of UFOs, angels, AI, dreams, and other dimensions, which exist at the edges of human understanding. Encounters is a riveting exploration of the leading science of nonhuman life and a bold glimpse of the future of humanity in a universe where we are far from alone.

Critic reviews

"Encounters is a ground-breaking, multi-layered look at aspects of the UFO phenomenon that are rarely explored with such clarity, sophistication and insight. While the study of UFO evidence has captivated the world for decades, Encounters ventures further, diving into the enigmatic realms of the mystery that lie at the heart of this phenomenon, and which have touched the lives of so many people. Through profiles of unusual, gifted individuals with much to teach us, we learn how scientists and technologists are motivated to explore profound questions about the nature of consciousness as a result of their own connections to non-human intelligence. I highly recommend this book."—Leslie Kean, investigative reporter and author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record

"Diana Pasulka takes us galaxies beyond her essential American Cosmic, with Encounters. Here she delves into the patterns of creation, visions of Saint Michael, the protector of children, to synchronicity and the wide variety of interactions humans have with nonhuman intelligences. This is a deeply moving meditation on consciousness and all that we do not know about the mystery we exist within. One of the great recent books on the subject, sure to fascinate those interested in both spiritual and alien encounters. Simply breathtaking in its scope and the depth of its feeling."—Josh Boone, director of The Fault in Our Stars and X-Men: The New Mutants, creator of The Stand

"Diana Pasulka has applied her prodigious academic skills to the generally dismissed subjects of UFOs and close encounters, and the result is astonishing and revelatory. The present will greet this book with wary surprise; the future will call it a masterwork."—Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Communion

Wow part two is amazing

It’s so good to hear the actual author read her own book with her own real emotions as she reads. If you have not listen/read her first book you should before this as it will make a bit more sense. Great work by the author. Ty

Another great book by Diana!

Be aware! You will enjoy this book much more if you read American Cosmic…
I feel Encounters is a “part 2” of A.C. Hopefully we will have more coming in a near future. If you are new to Diana’s books start with American Cosmic ( both narration / performance are great) or grab Passport to Magonia by Jaqués Vallee to put everything in context.

Brilliant Writer

The story had me from the very start. Amazing!!! My compliments to the writer. Can not wait for her next book!

"These people are happy with the show on the walls"

Love her work! She also can communicate in a way that I can understand, "Although barely." 😉

Best book on Unexplained Phenomenon by religious studies scholar

Excellent book for anyone with interest in UFos, AI and the Secret and often misunderstood knowledge of the past into present days.
Brilliant scholar!
I will be reading everything I can get my hands on from her, and finding her lectures on YouTube.

Even better than the first book

Soo good!! I immediately got her other book. This one is much better though because she reads it herself. I am now listening for the 2nd time.

Fascinating!

Kept me engaged from start to finish. I am going back to read American Cosmic!

Very insightful work

Your intuition alone will let you know if you need to read this book but if you’re reading this review you probably already knew you were supposed to read it. The real question is what you’re supposed to do afterwards? One of the best rabbit holes one can venture down these days. Brilliant research and fantastic presentation of the data currently available to the public. Definitely recommend for those interested in the subject matter. Looking forward to the author’s next book!

Fantastically informative!

Some of it was way over my head, but not enough to make me stop listening! Learned a lot. Very well told and love the author read it. Great job!!

Finished and immediately restarted

Such deep and fascinating material. I need to listen again to soak more in. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon, this book is it! Read American Cosmic first especially if you don’t already have a foundational understanding of the phenomenon. Love that Diana narrates- such a richer experience.
