Adventures Among Spiritual Intelligences: Angels, Aliens, Dolphins & Shamans Paperback – March 1, 2001

Adventures Among Spiritual Intelligences is a rare book. It stands the test of time, proven by the fact that this is a slightly revised edition of itself, first published in 1992. It was far ahead of its time. Reading it now, one has the sense of it being very current, revealing aspects of one man's journey that is both intimate and timely.I recommend this book highly. It carries in it the clarity of thought one associates with the best thinkers, yet it explores, unashamedly, things such as telepathy, off-world histories, the intentions of dolphins, and how to contact angels. Wyllie brings a well-tuned ear to his work, speaking in a voice of dignity and erudition. This is a remarkable book.So many books that treat this type of subject are poorly written, often begging for a more critical view, and radical editing. It this case, one relishes the use of words, the extent of Wyllies vocabulary.This is a seductive book. It takes you to places you might blush to admit interest in, and gives you pause to wonder at your shyness. Wyllie is an excellent guide to the inside, the places where a small coterie of people have been brave enough to explore the unthinkable--the realms of non-human intelligences. It surprises with its candor; it delights with its bravery; it leaves us with a sense that we have been privy to secrets; and it never preaches.Read this book. Breathe deeply, dive in. Enrich yourself.

A summary of this book best comes from a line in the last chapter, "One of the features of the dolphin journey is that I never quite know what is going to happen next or where it is all leading." The trip progresses from interspecies communication (with dolphins) to underwater birthing (humans) - he includes a nice mix native practices with current sceintific research. But this is no armchair adventurer, he is out the world experiencing it - and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride. My preconceived ideas were turned around as I thought that the underwaterbirthing would not be interesting, but those sections are now hightlighted in my mind. Reading this book, I couldn't help but think of Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha" - each journey is unique, no one else can follow the same path, yet hearing another person's story can change our own. As if to emphasize that, unlike many other 'new age' books Mr. Wyllie doesn't give us a website to find followup workshops - having stood on his shoulders, you are expected to go ahead on your own. I found this very readable, with no psychobabble to get in the way of the story and would thus recommend it to anyone who has been curious enough to go far enough to read this review. It stands alone or can be read as a sequel to "Dolphins, ET's and Angels".
