The World Soul Gains a Modern Voice

This is a book that urgently needed to be written, an intelligent and genuinely thoughtful examination of anomalous phenomena like "UFO" and "fairy" sightings. I've spent time in rural India where these types of experiences are still amazingly common. In India the World Soul or anima mundi is called the mahat ("great mind") and is understood as the source of many extra-ordinary phenomena. On the one hand they are recognized as hallucinations (maya); on the other, they reflect the incursion of the tanmatras (subtle matter) into our physical experience, and in that sense are completely real.
I'm grateful to Harpur for reintroducing the World Soul to jaded Western readers who may have lost sight of the mysterious "Other World" which co-exists with our modern rational universe in such an uneasy manner. He's onto something important here. This book is a classic; I'm certain people will still be reading it a century from now.

Intelligent speculation not just mumbo-jumbo

A simple thesis, a straightforward approach to complex interlinked subjects. Wonder what UFOs, Loch Ness, phantom hitchhikers and stigmatics have in common? Curious why similar phenomena exist in so many different places around the world? Anyone truly interested in Forteana will love this book. Not exactly new ground covered -- John Keel covered similar territory but far less coherently -- but very well written and argued. In the end you may not be convinced that the Otherworld and our "everyday" world intersect as freely as Harpur postulates, but you will be excited by the possibilities.

Thought provoking

A good read that has become a metaphysical reference book for me. Entertaining, well-written, and thought provoking. I can't wait to read more of his work!
