	Encyclopedia: John Edward Mack
		Mack advocated that Western culture required a shift away from a purely materialist worldview (which he felt was responsible for the Cold War, the global ecological crisis, ethnonationalism and regional conflict) towards a transpersonal worldview which embraced certain elements of Eastern spiritual and philosophical traditions.
		Mack initially suspected that such persons were suffering from mental illness, but when no obvious pathologies were present in the persons he interviewed, Mack's interest was piqued.
		Mack's interest in the spiritual or transformational aspects of people's alien encounters, and his suggestion that the experience of alien contact itself may be more spiritual than physical in nature - yet nonetheless real - set him apart from many of his contemporaries such as Budd Hopkins, who advocated the physical reality of aliens.

	Telegraph \| News \| John E Mack
		John E Mack, who has died aged 74, was a professor of psychiatry at Harvard and won a Pulitzer prize for a biography of Lawrence of Arabia; he created more controversy, however, with his investigations of accounts of alien abduction.
		Mack's conclusion that there was "no conventional explanation" for case studies such as Ed, who remembered an alien woman taking a sperm sample from him; Jerry, who had given birth to a human-alien hybrid; and Peter, who had an alien wife in a parallel universe, led some colleagues to launch the "Knife the Mack" movement.
		Mack was speaking at the T E Lawrence Society Symposium in Oxford on Sunday, where his afternoon talk was so well received that he was invited to give an additional speech that evening.

	NOVA Online/Kidnapped by UFOs/John Mack
		MACK: When I first encountered this phenomenon, or particularly even before I had actually seen the people themselves, I had very little place in my mind to take this seriously.
		MACK: Sometimes along the way, as you go deeper and deeper into the person's consciousness, into their experience, they will discover....what is called a dual identity.
		MACK: I think that, in some ways, I've gained more than I've lost in terms of inviting people into this mystery, having a dialogue with all kinds of very wonderful, open, intelligent, brilliant people from many different fields.

	Interview with John Mack
		John: First of all, the person may be traumatized by what has happened, but is fundamentally of sound mind and not suffering from any tendency toward unusual make-believe, or any kind of delusion.
		John: For reasons that are interesting, but not altogether clear, people in altered states of consciousness seem to be able to access these experiences more easily.
		John: This has to do with the notion that the whole Western scientific, philosophical and religious enterprise has been to eliminate unseen agency from the cosmos, to deny it, to isolate ourselves in what Tulane philosophy professor Michael Zimmerman called anthropocentric humanism-- meaning that we think we're the center of the intellectual cosmos.

		Transcript of an interview with Dr. John Mack, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a leading authority on the transformative and spiritual aspects of alien encounters.
		John Mack, M.D....Even psychosocial or cultural explanations, if they were to include all of the major dimensions of the syndrome, would force us to stretch our notions of the collective unconscious to such a degree that the distinctions between psyche and world, internal and external reality, would be obliterated
		Mack focuses on thirteen ordinary Americans (from nearly one hundred case studies) who tell dramatic, inspiring, and remarkably similar stories: repeated visits from large-eyed beings, mysterious machines, telepathy, invasive medical procedures, hours missing from their lives, and startling messages about the future....

	Amazon.com: Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Mack is mapping the terrain features of a new psychological continent using the case histories of individuals who have come forward.
		Mack argues that abductions force us to reconsider our perception of reality; "no familiar theory or explanation has come even close to accounting for the basic features of the abduction phenomenon." As abductions can not be understood within the framework of Western science, a new scientific paradigm may be necessary.
		Mack writes that "When we explore phenomena that exist at the margins of accepted reality, old words become imprecise or must be given new meanings." His own words suffer from that problem; many readers will find his analyses vague and fuzzy-minded, particularly when he writes about spirituality.
