For the past decade
there has been a wave of books published about UFO enigmas ranging from
benevolent beings interacting with humans in order to help us save our
home planet Earth, to hard evidence of spacecraft technology being
drafted and engineered into our modern-day Star Wars program. Physical
abduction of humans by extraterrestrials was among some of the scariest
phenomena ever reported. Many serious and non-serious researchers of
UFOs and other related paranormal topics have accounted for actual
videos, photographs, possible alien artifacts and also first-hand verbal
accounts by witnesses or experiencers of paranormal events. The God
Hypothesis is one book covering varied studies of ufology and
independent researchers' views. The researchers' views are reported from
their own personal niches in the field . Joe Lewels, Ph.D., offers an
accounting of mainstream ufology along with his own personal
interpretation of who or what is doing whatever, when, how and why.
Where does the heritage of aliens and spacecraft begin? How long have
human abductions been taking place and why? Lewels considers
himself a 'common' man--a man whose childhood was filled with devout
Christian faith and common sociological thoughts and typical mainstream
consciousness. His journalism occupation led him to a Ph.D. journalism
program at It wasn't until 1992
that Lewels' desire and sincere approach to ufology guided him to
actually research the phenomena. His religious background targeted him
towards theology within ufology by way of peculiar patterns of
relationships he noticed between modern-day UFO-related happenings and
early Christianity. The God Hypothesis
partly is Lewels' interpretation of his own personal spiritual
transformation and ability to accept more than what is typified in
mainstream consciousness. He describes his 'conscious' moments when he
suddenly realizes there is something more out there than he had earlier
perceived, and expresses his shock, joy and wonderment about the event.
Lewels totally went through a positive transformation of his personal
state of being, and his acceptance and tolerance of other realms--realms
other than what he can perceive with his senses or rational mind. I am
sure while on his earlier venture into the depths of ufology, and upon
his startling realizations and memorable moments such as coming to terms
with cattle mutilations and human abductions, he must have really
freaked out. He speaks of aliens as possible angels to some, and to
others, the Devil or His overture is
honest as he writes he reveals and shares his excitement and his naïve
state of being as he reports on his newly found paradigm. I could
picture him with compelling force running from UFO conference to
conference and hanging out with 'select' speakers in hopes of hearing
about the latest UFO happenings and related topics. In total fascination
he details his search and writes about his understanding of the UFO
phenomena and queer correlation's to specific biblical text and varied
mythological legends. Lewels presents
images of ancient wisdom teachings and Bible stories to your mind. Who
were the keepers of the tablets, and where were they really from? He
discusses the problem with different modern languages translating the
Bible and other Sacred Scrolls from the original ancient texts. He also
presents important chronological historical theology and the differences
between 'era'-related transcriptions and revisions of the Bible. I found
this to be very interesting and it helped me understand certain changes
within earlier civilizations' government and religious thoughts of the
time. Lewels exposes the hypocrisy and manipulation of the sacred texts
that induce major changes of consciousness and control of the majority
of peoples throughout the world. Lewels 'tracked' the
UFO phenomenon accurately by passage of his own experience and
understanding of it. His perspective is shared by many who pursue the
obscure and mainstream UFO myths and beliefs. Like every true-blue UFO
researcher, Lewels expanded his way of thinking into other possible
realms of realities. He associated himself with the holographic-universe
concept of What impressed me
most about The God Hypothesis
is a very informative book encompassing many details about many
synchronicities that relate to Biblical texts and modern UFO realities.
Many readers who are new to this particular theory and diverse
explanation of certain parts of human history will arrive at a newly
found awareness of themselves and other realities. Reviewed By
