As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience!

A revolution is underway. For the first time in human history, we are at the cusp of experiencing contact with nonhuman life-forms of all kinds due to technological innovations and research into the experiences of people at the forefront of this development.


In
Encounters, author D.W. Pasulka takes readers to the forefront of this revolution, sharing the work of experts across a spectrum of fields who are working to connect humanity with unknown life-forms.

Most of us have visions of nonhuman encounters that are shaped far more by Hollywood than they are informed by the current research.
Encounters rewrites our visions of nonhuman species by featuring the work and stories of contemporary innovators who are rethinking our most basic assumptions about life and its manifestations beyond our experience.

The author of
American Cosmic, D.W. Pasulka is a professor of religion at UNC, Wilmington; her work as a scholar has given her the tools to systematically examine data that exceeds rational categories―exactly the skillset needed to parse the world of UFOs, angels, AI, dreams, and other dimensions, which exist at the edges of human understanding. Encounters is a riveting exploration of the leading science of nonhuman life and a bold glimpse of the future of humanity in a universe where we are far from alone.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Encounters is a ground-breaking, multi-layered look at aspects of the UFO phenomenon that are rarely explored with such clarity, sophistication and insight. While the study of UFO evidence has captivated the world for decades, Encounters ventures further, diving into the enigmatic realms of the mystery that lie at the heart of this phenomenon, and which have touched the lives of so many people. Through profiles of unusual, gifted individuals with much to teach us, we learn how scientists and technologists are motivated to explore profound questions about the nature of consciousness as a result of their own connections to non-human intelligence. I highly recommend this book."
Leslie Kean, investigative reporter and author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record

"Diana Pasulka takes us galaxies beyond her essential
American Cosmic, with Encounters. Here she delves into the patterns of creation, visions of Saint Michael, the protector of children, to synchronicity and the wide variety of interactions humans have with nonhuman intelligences. This is a deeply moving meditation on consciousness and all that we do not know about the mystery we exist within. One of the great recent books on the subject, sure to fascinate those interested in both spiritual and alien encounters. Simply breathtaking in its scope and the depth of its feeling."
Josh Boone, director of The Fault in Our Stars and X-Men: The New Mutants, creator of The Stand

"Diana Pasulka has applied her prodigious academic skills to the generally dismissed subjects of UFOs and close encounters, and the result is astonishing and revelatory. The present will greet this book with wary surprise; the future will call it a masterwork."
Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Communion

"The next essential chapter in the UFO mystery. A compelling page-turner that confronts the elephant in the room on UFOs. That, on the evidence, the key to this intriguing mystery is least likely to be that these strange objects are just mere super-advanced craft from a technologically superior non-human intelligence. In
Encounters, Pasulka coaxes her fascinating UFO experiencers to reveal a frequent preternatural high-strangeness associated with their sighting events; the woo behind these events is an uncomfortable feature not commonly emphasized, indeed often overlooked. Her thesis is that maybe the very thing being ignored is the key. Why, she asks, do so many great thinkers and creatives credit their ground-breaking ideas to dreams and downloads? Is the phenomenon an organic uber AI seeding human consciousness with transcending ideas and UFO ‘craft' just but one manifestation of a broader enigma? Underlying all indigenous knowledge systems is this idea of pan-psychism, a sentient environment. She questions if the notion of an organic internet explains the aboriginal dreamtime, even God. The most intriguing question she poses is whether humanity’s intimacy with technology is making us all blind to what we once were and are truly capable of being."
Ross Coulthart, author of In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science

"We are schooled by D.W. Pasulka in two seemingly contradictory truths: the UFO phenomenon is riven with disinformation and distortion, and the UFO phenomenon is real. Pasulka also explains why it is the experiencers of nonhuman or superhuman intelligence who count, and why the study of religion has the most to say about their altered states and cosmic realizations.
Encounters is a model of where we should go from here―into a future beyond our present understandings of the natural and the supernatural, of religion and science. That is the past. This is the future."
Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of The Superhumanities: Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities

"In
Encounters, Dr. D. W. Pasulka continues a deeply profound journey to unravel the UFO mystery and place an empathetic microscope on those who have experienced it. Invisible hands continue to weave an uncharted path for Pasulka as she navigates a maze of government involvement with the UFO topic and the narrative painted between the gaps of uncertainty, while also exploring a very human lens through the scientists, researchers, and experiencers who truly shape the UFO interpretation. While the goal may appear to be a crossing of these paths, Pasulka eloquently proves that sometimes the journey is far more important than the final destination."
Ryan Sprague, author and podcaster, Somewhere in the Skies

"Diana Pasulka brings to the incomplete study of unidentified phenomena the missing parts that make it tick: a subtle, caring way to transcend the rough political and military turmoil that has long disfigured the research; and a formal framework for the spiritual reinterpretation of what the witnesses say. Her book is a staircase to the top level."
Jacques Vallee, author, scientist, and venture capitalist

“In
Encounters, Dr. Pasulka offers us a mind-expanding view of what 'contact' means. She explores the role of the paranormal, the invisible and the spiritual as integral parts of the UFO contact experience. She also explores the role of technology and AI as a new form of contact through her fascinating profiles of scientists and innovators. After reading this deeply insightful book, if you aren’t surprised by what she reveals, you haven’t been paying attention.“
Rizwan Virk, founder of Play Labs @ MIT and author of The Simulation Hypothesis and Wisdom of a Yogi

"If
American Cosmic took readers to super-secret crash sites in the desert and off-limits vaults of the Vatican, D. W. Pasulka’s new book Encounters takes them on a more inward journey―not ETs in metal ships (although those do hover in the background) but alleged interactions with nonhuman intelligence through dreams, synchronicities, and inspiration. Pasulka’s unique brand of erudite but also highly personal ufology humanizes her subject in a way that few other writers nowadays approach. Her cast of characters includes members of the scientific and technological elite, many of whom believe they have interacted with, or continuously interact with, the UFO Phenomenon. Some of her informants work on the forefront of fields like AI and space medicine that are poised to take our own species in new directions in coming years. Like Jacques Vallee at his best, Pasulka is a curious and sympathetic guide to her subjects’ dreamtimes, speculations, and spiritual landscapes."
Eric Wargo, author of Time Loops and Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self

"Diana Pasulka shifts the paradigm on what contact with nonhuman intelligences can mean and the social impacts it can have. She offers us a subtle, sensitive, and deeply knowledgeable depiction of the lives and worlds of people who have had experiences associated with UFOs. Particularly intriguing is the way she weaves Plato’s Allegory of the Cave throughout her narrative to illuminate various facets of the UFO phenomenon and speak to the esoteric knowledges at the core of contact with nonhuman intelligences. Pasulka shows us how the experiencers may be more relevant to our potential technological and spiritual futures than we have realized."
Hussein Ali Agrama, PhD., Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Chicago

Praise for

"[Pasulka] approaches UFO believers with an open mind in her irresistible debut . . . [and] gives wonderful, entertaining insight into the curious study of UFOs." ―

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023
    I have just finished reading Dr. Diana Pasulka’s Encounters. Since reading American Cosmic a few years ago, I have become a student of Dr. Paulka’s work. One thing I love about Encounters is the breath of subject matter research that went into thinking about and authoring this book. Dr. Pasulka is receptive to innovative ideas and relates subject matter outside of her field of religious studies to the UFO phenomenon. In one chapter, Dr. Pasulka writes about Dr. Whiteley, the Space Psychologist, who, among other things, has designed spaceship interiors for astronauts. Dr. Whiteley says that people who travel in space experience cognitive changes after their missions into space. The farther away someone travels from Earth, the more they can see the totality of the Earth and its inhabitants. This is called the “The Overview Effect.” As astronaut Russell Schweickart said, “when you go around the Earth in an hour and a half, you begin to realize that your identity is with that thing.” It simply changes the way you see yourself and the world. Dr. Whiteley is also working on research to train infants to “hear” the sounds of Earth: animals, insects, etc. Dr. Whiteley asks the question, “how can we expect animals to learn our language, when we don’t endeavor to learn theirs?” I have often listened to the twittering of birds and felt that there just might be physics put to patterns and melodies. But, in general, we do not stop to listen, or better, to understand. Some cultures have long listened to the language of nature, but in modern Western Civilization, some think that animals, trees, birds, and oceans have nothing to say to us.
    Dr. Pasulka also writes about the work of philosopher Timothy Morton. Morton relates the idea of the UFO to the concept of “hyperobjects.” Hyperobjects are phenomena that are so large the human mind cannot really grasp it in its entirety. Think of something like ecology. We might understand the weather for a given day, or weather in various places, but the human mind can’t grasp the ecology as a single thing. Morton says that the encounter of the UFO is the human mind only experiencing a piece of a larger thing. We simply do not know what else it (in this case the UFO) relates to. What else is it a part of? Another system? Another dimension? Our own minds? The notion of hyperobjects is very provocative.
    Dr. Pasulka then goes on to write about her work with Simone, who is a venture capitalist and computer scientist. Simone is extremely interested in the future of Artificial Intelligence and feels that, perhaps, Artificially Intelligent technology is future human beings reaching back to the present. To warn us. To study us. Simon strongly feels that AI should not be regulated and will flourish and develop technologies and tools that were never imagined.
    The incorporation of lucid dreaming and its relationship to UFOs is also noteworthy and interesting. As someone who vividly dreams, journals, and uses dreams for writing projects, etc., I find this fascinating. Other cultures recognize dreams as gifts that come from another realm. They provide insights for everyday life and even ideas for problem solving. In Western Civilization, there are numerous accounts of scientists, musicians, and artists, who receive the solution to a problem, or a musical idea in dream. Paul McCartney said that he dreamt the song “Yesterday” and got up quickly to transcribe it. According to McCartney the song came completely intact in his dream.
    Encounters is a wonderful, beautifully written, and well researched book. I look forward to reading Dr. Paulka’s future works.

    A wonderful, well-written, accessible and essential follow up to Professor Diana Walsh Pasulka's groundbreaking 2016 "American Cosmic. "

    This sophomore survey circles its subject in surprising, interdisciplinary ways that effectively transmit hard-earned, boundary-expanding insights from artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology, all serving as midwives to the birth of a new, fast-developing religion integrating non-human intelligences.

    Ten concise chapters introduce us to experiencers and exponents of this newly relevant, wider realm, including "space psychologist" Iya; a mysterious neurotic research scientist "Gray Man"; religious Marine Jose; Silicon Valley AI-explorer Simone; a colleague who grew up in the "secret space program; and former atheist Len.

    The effective use of Plato's philosophy here is in not only in positing a deeper "reality" than that transduced by our senses and patterned by culture. Professor Pasulka also presents the visionary subjects in a resonating dialogue challenging simple answers and freeing the reader from first-take entrenched cultural and superficially rational narratives. Left unexplored are the DMT and near-death intersections with entities and emergent archetypes that also project/channel "the phenomenon," and continue to shape not just what we believe, but who we really are. More please!

  • Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
    The difference between D.W. Pasulka's first book, "American Cosmic," and this one seems to be that during the intervening years she became a true believer in the phenomenon (as Jacques Vallee would call it). This affects the quality of her interviews; the book is essentially a series of them, and they vary wildly in quality and content.

    The basic structure, roughly, is that Dr. Pasulka interviews a person about their experiences--working as a space psychologist, or one of her students who has experienced demonic visitations since he was a child, or a gentleman who experienced a synchronistic vision of an American archbishop on the evening of his death--and then moves on to the next topic.

    From a narrative perspective, this is frustrating; what are we, as readers, to conclude? There is no particular throughline; unlike "Passport to Magonia", where Jacques Vallee argued that UFO sightings are more universal than previously believed, the reader here is expected to wade through to find a thesis. It's made especially frustrating by Dr. Pasulka's frequent reminders that a lot of apparent UFO lore is gnostic, only to be passed down orally or experienced firsthand. Well: what if someone wrote it down and put it in... a book?

    Thus Dr. Pasulka repeatedly hints at secret knowledge and fellowships--invisible colleges hidden throughout academia and the defense industry--but never draws back the curtain. That is her right, of course, but at some point the reader has to wonder whether any of this forbidden lore is actually worth knowing, or if it is just speculation buttressed by the fact that many of the people espousing it are scientists and intelligence community members, adding a frisson of excitement to the functional equivalent of my coworkers swapping ghost stories during a particularly slow night shift.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly scant and lightweight
    Reviewed in Spain on July 7, 2024
    I appreciate her work and Mrs. Pasulka sounds very informed and curious in interviews, but this book was a definite disappointment on a few levels. The size of the actual book was small with very little new information, details or even informed guess work as to what any of it could mean. I suppose her intended audience is not anyone who has been learning about these topics, and there is a lot of unnecessary explanations for the layperson, like ' Reader's Digest is a family magazine devoted to fiction and non-fiction of general interest'. I suppose it must be hard to find the right demographic as a writer, but I wish it were more a case of ' let's start with the edge and limit of what we know and go from there' instead of 'these people know about things.' May be not a popular opinion but I think we need more informed conjecture and theory in this field of inquiry and to be asking questions that are as scary and upsetting as possible. Any recommendations?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wer American Cosmic gelesen hat
    Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2024
    wird auf dieses Buch gewartet haben. Es enthält einige interessante Gedanken zur KI, ist aber nicht so informativ wie "American Cosmic". Wer daher überlegt, ob er zunächst nicht lieber den sehr gut recherchierten Klassiker der UAP-Literatur "UFOs an Government, A Historical Inquiry" von Michael Swords lesen will, sollte ihm den Vorzug geben.
    Um zu verstehen, warum UAP vermutlich ein Teil unserer Physik sind, obwohl das Thema mit vielen unwissenschaftlichen Vorurteilen behaftet ist, empfiehlt es sich für "Einsteiger" den Spiegel-Bestseller "Das rätselhafte Gewebe unserer Wirklichkeit und die Grenzen der Physik", von Prof. Gerd Ganteför, zu lesen. Nicht alles, was die Wissenschaft vorgibt zu wissen, weiß sie tatsächlich.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A seminal and groundbreaking work
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2023
    I have been eagerly waiting for the release of this book for months. I bought it as soon as it was published, and read it in a couple of days. As I was looking for something as good as the amazing "Amazing Cosmic" by the same author, my expectations were very high - but I was not disappointed. This book is, in fact, a perfect sequel to "American Cosmic", and perhaps even better than its predecessor. Through these two seminal works, Professor Pasulka is opening up new avenues of research, whole new fields of enquiry. Building on the genial intuitions of Jacques Vallée, and inspired by Plato and Carl Gustav Jung, Professor Pasulka is helping us reframe the whole conversation around the 'phenomenon' but, more broadly, about today's shifting spiritual, religious, cultural and technological landscape. This is a seminal work that will (hopefully) have an impact on scholars and seekers alike for years to come.
