From Elsewhere takes a close look at the most radical New Age group--those who claim extraterrestrial (ET) identity. Adapted from the Ph.D. research of Scott Mandelker through 25 interviews, From Elsewhere follows the lives of 25 'Wanderers' from their unusual childhood to the rare events that lead to an extraordinary sense of self. Detailed case stories trace their growth from confusion to clarity, dealing with society, intimacy, and life-mission. Their ideas on UFOs, human history, and the fate of planet Earth make fascinating reading.

Scott Mandelker, Ph.D., has lectured throughout the US on extraterrestrial identity, cosmic evolution, and spiritual growth. With a Ph.D. in East West Psychology, M.A. in Counseling, 20 years experience in Taoism and Buddhism, he leads a discussion group on the Ra Material/The Law of One and has a private counseling practice in San Francisco. He has been interviewed on Dreamland/The Art Bell Show, Strange Universe, Hard Copy, and Common Ground.
Mandelker, a San Francisco New Age counselor, believes he is an ET (extraterrestrial). His two dozen interviewees?among them a hospital technician, a nurse, a psychic, an architect, a housepainter?all maintain that they are from other planets or dimensions. Mandelker, who spent years immersed in Buddhist, Taoist and Zen meditation, classifies some respondents as "Wanderers," who, born of human parents, gradually awakened to their ET souls. Others typify the "Walk-in," meaning someone whose body and mind were suddenly taken over by an ET entity. Mandelker's informants express little interest in nuts-and-bolts UFOs; instead, they talk of nonphysical beings, expanded awareness, information channeled from spirit-guides or ET entities. Interviewees predict a familiar scenario: impending global eco-catastrophe followed by the spiritual awakening of humanity's remnants. Unfortunately, there is nothing here to convince the reader that these alleged ETs are something other than victims of delusion.
