Joey Madia, New Mystics Reviews

    (Self-published, 2023). ISBN: 979-8-871896-14-3 I have to begin this review by saying this is one of the most compelling, convincing narratives of ET abduction I have ever read. This is no small compliment: over the past 15 years, after my own experience with missing time and strange occurrences, I have studied this field intensively, reading many books, interviewing abductees and contactees, and carefully considered the evidence. Although UFOlogists lament the lack of attention paid to your “everyday person,” and I have long been skeptical of the assumption that being a police officer or airline pilot makes that person’s report of an experience automatically more accurate and credible, there is something encouraging about the increasing numbers of medical professionals and scientists taking a serious look at UFOlogy. Dr. John Mack, Pulitzer Prize–winning Harvard psychiatrist, nearly lost his position in the university medical school because of his study of abductees. ...

  (Toronto: Prometea Press, 2021). ISBN: 9781777135133 Several weeks ago I reviewed Wes Roberts’s first book, Intersections , cowritten with Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist who helped the author retrieve memories from numerous abductee/contactee experiences he has had over the course of his life. Written three years later, An Experiencer’s Garden is a different type of book, and my focus here will therefore be different as well. While Intersections details Roberts’s experiences (both remembered on his own and through a series of hypnotic regression sessions), the follow-up is even more personal and intimate. At its core are Roberts’s theories and realizations about what has been happening to him since childhood and possible reasons why. In a time of dangerous, misleading “disclosure” by the military–industrial–intelligence complex (most likely to fatten the budget of the “new” Space Force and private defense contractors not answerable to Congress...

   (Prometea Press, 2018). ISBN: 9781073391103 Longtime followers of my book reviews might be noticing an emerging pattern: in the past three years I have reviewed nearly a dozen books exploring the abduction/contactee/experiencer phenomena. I have endeavored to review works from a wide range of perspectives, from firsthand accounts to case studies written by authors with advanced degrees, to books that center on the scientific. During this time I have also reviewed another half a dozen books (and read many more) that explore near death experiences, psi ability, out of body experiences, and contact from those beyond the veil. During this time I have also undergone hypnotic regression to retrieve memories from missing time during an experience with an interdimensional being in 2009 and learned a great deal from my wife, a gifted psychic medium who holds certifications in hypnosis, past life regression, and soul contact. I have also interviewed dozens of experiencers for m...

   (2021). ISBN: 9798534419412 There’s been increasing mainstream coverage of supposed UAP “disclosure” in the past 5 years, beginning with the New York Times “leak” about the Pentagon’s AATIP program, followed by former government insiders joining To the Stars Academy and promising significant revelations that never came—insiders who have since gone back to the Beltway. The DoD release of US Navy footage of UAPs also happened at this time. Chairman Marco Rubio of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence then requested a report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. When that much-anticipated report’s unclassified version arrived in June 2021, it was nine pages of denials and calls for increased defense funding. This past April, 1,500 pages of declassified material requested through FOIA by The Sun were released. Aside from some data on physical evidence and possible abductions, there was nothing really new, and no one’s talked much about them. For t...
