The historiographers of religious studies have written the history of this discipline primarily as a rationalization of ideological, most prominently theological and phenomenological ideas: first through the establishment of comparative, philological and sociological methods and secondly through the demand for intentional neutrality. This interpretation caused important roots in occult-esoteric traditions to be repressed. This process of “purification” (Latour) is not to be equated with the origin of the academic studies. De facto, the elimination of idealistic theories took time and only happened later. One example concerning the early entanglement is Tibetology, where many researchers ...

Personal diary of a researcher at the frontiers of science.
What makes an apparently ordinary human being, unfavoured by either heredity or environment, suddenly achieve greatness? The present volume is a study of this rare phenomenon as reflected in the life and thought of one man who had greatness thrust upon him early in life and who later achieved a different kind of greatness, only to give it all up J. Krishnamurti. It uncovers a strange mind, still very imperfectly understood.
“What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they move, their trajectory. And so I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is.” Barack Obama, May 17, 2021, the “Late Late Show with James Corden.” Since 2017, UFOs are no longer considered fiction. Declared a "serious subject" by the Pentagon, they have now entered public debate on American, German and Japanese news channels. Passionate about ufology since his childhood, Egon Kragel is a great French specialist on the subject. He has dug up more than 150 ...

The foreword for this book was written by the French writer and philosopher Rene Fouere. In this book, the author has a sharp insight into human psychology, and his art of expressing it in a simple and striking manner deserves the best compliments. He has conveyed very faithfully the thought of Krishnamurti in this work, which, gives its readers a precious opportunity to become aware of the subtle and deceitful intricacies of their own mind. This book constitutes both an excellent introduction as well as an incentive to the reading of Krishnamurti`s works. It is a highly commendable book.
Known principally as an investigator of the UFO phenomenon and a science fiction novelist, the French-born Vallee (now a resident of the U.S.) has also worked as a computer scientist in both academia and industry. UFOlogists will not find the answers to all of their questions here, for although Vallee believes that UFOs exist, he has no idea just what they are. Therein lies the excellence of his dazzling diary: it offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who seems to challenge every preconception and established piety. To his academic training as a mathematician and scientist, which stressed rational approaches to problems, Vallee has brought an interest in the mystical, the psychical, and the paranormal. He has been a Rosicrucian and has studied the works of ancient scientists like Paracelsus. His diary is replete with profoundly insightful, often devastating observations about the strengths and weaknesses of France and the U.S., their academics and their researchers in industry.
