Description:
Jerusalem and the Sinai desert, AD 55. In the turbulent aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, agents of the Roman Empire receive information about a pilgrim bearing an incendiary letter from a religious fanatic calling himself Paul the Apostle to insurrectionists in Corinth. What's in the letter could bring down an empire.
The Romans hire a former legionary, a solitary man-at-arms named Telamon to intercept the letter and destroy the courier. Telamon fights for money, not principles. He's been promised a rich reward; should he fail, the punishment is death by crucifixion. But once he meets the courier, Telamon experiences an extraordinary conversion, and instead of carrying out the mission, takes on the Empire. In his first novel of the ancient world in thirteen years, the best-selling author of Gates of Fire and Tides of War returns with a gripping saga of conquest and rebellion, bloodshed and faith.

Fascinating
It's impossible to put this book down. I've spent dozens of hours reading about the topics of Ufology, psi, cryptozoology, etc., enough to know that these are much, much more than : imagination, hoax, alien encounter(s). I've seen three UFOs myself and I know I wasn't imagining them but I don't really understand what they 'are'. I've had psi related experiences my entire lifetime. (I've never seen a bigfoot or a mothman, but boy would I like to lol). "The Trickster and the Paranormal", George Hansen, discusses in depth what these phenomena are (and are not); "Merging Dimensions" gives the reader as close to a first-hand look as possible without actually being there. I found that I did NOT have to suspend belief one bit since I actually have educated myself regarding the nature of these phenomena. Some of the photographs are hard to decipher but WOW that "portal" is amazing. It reminded me of a screen against a wall in a dark room, the sort projectors used to view slides (back in the good old days before digital photography).
That part of the book written by Tom Dongo presented his conjectures (at the time the book was written, 16 years ago) regarding the nature of these phenomena. I don't agree with some of what he says and there are explanations for other of his statements. Since we now know that consciousness can effect result in measurement on the quantum level, we can postulate that the same effect is seen on other levels. On page 104, Mr. Dongo says "However, the incredible light retreated quickly away from the group when one of the six people became hysterical with fear. Fear drives these lights, or life forms, away." Fear disengages cognition, and it's contagious: if the man next to me becomes hysterical, I will react without control (it's a fight/flight mechanism, can't be reasoned away instantly) and, when that happens (when the other people's autonomic reactions kick in as a response to the hysterical man), cognition "flies out the window" and if our consciousness is in any way related to the phenomenon, without cognition it is rendered moot.
One thing I do agree with is his following statement, "Reading and listening to everything of pertinence is the only way we can build a database for the internal guidance system to decide what is relevant and what isn't. Because of ignorance or a lack of information, some of the world's most entrenched beliefs and institutions were created thousands ofyears ago by a few who had in mind only power and profit. It's been proven that many of these beliefs have no verifiable historic record outside of the original document or decree itself. many of these dictums survive basically intact, even now." Accurate analysis of so many strongly held belief systems; people seem incapable (and unwilling) to let go of them. This is pure fear, of the unknown, and of stepping away from the herd mentality.
I don't fool easily and I AM no fool. This hint at REALITY (rather than what we construe as such) is fascinating and Linda Bradshaw's advice regarding spiritual authority is spot on. I'm doing more research immediately; I'm going to see what's happened in the last sixteen years. I hope I don't find myself wearing chocolate shoes but, honestly, I'm so far out on a limb already that they might just provide me a much needed snack. :o/

accurate story about Bradshaw ranch
Format: Paperback
Having listened to online accounts of this ranch, this is an absolutely valid account. Talks about bigfoot, the greys, some angel like positive beings that come out of the portal on this property. They were forced to sell to the government which now owns the ranch. Even though there is a gate people climb it and explore the property. Abandoned ranch house, abandoned western town used in the cowboy films from the 50s-60s. Supposed to be a research project which is just a cover for what the govt is really doing there.
Linda Bradshaw has amazing stories which you should read. Photos are why I bought it to see the entities and the orbs etc. Fascinating. Worth the money.

Worth your Money for Linda's Part
Format: Kindle
This book has two parts. Linda's description comes across as sincere and is told in story form as if you were sitting across the table from her having coffee. She is obviously a real person who experienced some extraordinary things. Her co-author may be a great guy but this is one of many books he sells and he doesn't have anything to say that adds to Linda's retelling. Great half a book!

The message of the book is beautiful
Format: Hardcover
The book 'UFO...Contact from the Pleiades (45th Anniversary Edition): Volumes I & II' is characterized by an objective, scientific and factual recapitulation of the physical evidence of the Billy Meier contact case with the Plejaren. In addition to the physical evidence, numerous witness statements and a number of proven predictions are also cited. All these material findings, such as the beautiful photos and films of the beamships in Switzerland, the metal analyses, the audio recordings and the radiation from the landing sites, were examined scientifically by the four-person investigative team from Arizona (which is certainly just as beautiful as Switzerland) using the best scientists and technology of that time in the USA. The authenticity of the case has not been scientifically disproved. The cultural and historical connection of almost all peoples and indigenous peoples with the Plajades on the basis of traditions round off the Plajaren contact case in the book.
In addition to all these material, factual, neutral and objective analyses, the author, who lived with her husband Lee Elders on Billy Meier's terrain totaling more than one year over a period of more than seven years, gives the reader every now and then the chance to catch a glimpse of the immaterial factors of the case. And these remain in the memory. For short moments, the beauty of the case's message, occurring at the terrain, twinkles: Such as the immortality of higher values and virtues, the connection of all living beings, which through peace, freedom and love etc. bring themselves together to higher spheres.
