Stories from the Messengers: Owls, UFOs and a Deeper Reality Paperback – February 16, 2018

Clelland’s follow-up to The Messengers, this further collection of Stories From The Messengers, does something for me that few books on the UFO phenomenon actually do anymore: it wakes me up. It makes me feel excited about the connections being made, and the thought behind them. This has become a litmus test for me for what has merit regarding research into this experience, as I think it is also central to the vital human response to it. If the work leads deeper, if it makes connections along lines of meaning that are not ends in themselves or mere rabbit-holes of paranoia (though that can easily happen), if it inspires me or even makes me want to be a better person, then it has real value. It touches on something central and shared and very difficult about the psyche; and this is where, in my opinion, these elusive phenomena we call UFOs or abductions or what-have-you themselves seem to be reaching. Stories From The Messengers has this vital quality. The Sutra of the owl responds to Clelland’s inquiry with story. These extraordinarily strange narratives are rendered accessible by Clelland’s gentle insight, and his oftentimes peripheral if symbolic involvement serves to further the reach of their mystery. This is a singular work. It does not reach conclusions, but invites further and interesting questions along lines not typically considered.

If you're looking at this book, I would recommend that you read the first Messengers book, as this is a supplement to it. In this book, Mike Clelland narrates stories he's collected over the years pertaining to people's mysterious encounters with owls, UFOs, and other-worldly beings. I really respect Mr. Clelland's work; he's grappling with some profound and - currently - unanswerable questions about the very nature of our reality. One thing I appreciate is the fact that he makes no bones about these questions being unanswerable. And, as an added bonus, you might run into some spooky synchronicities while reading this book. I also appreciate Mr. Clelland's courage in being open about the deep struggles he has endured in the course of his work.

A mildly interest but very repetitive series of incidents involving owls and UFO sightings. It seems that if you see an owl, you should be looking for UFO's and perhaps you have been abducted. The thing that struck me as odd, is none of these people ever (at not that was mentioned) underwent regressive hypnosis to see if they REALLY had been abducted by 'others'. I would think that if you believed you might have been, then you would want to know if indeed, you HAD been abducted.Further, all those whose stories that are told here, seem to feel it was a positive experience, and held great hope for mankind. Several found a new spirituality, etc., etc. No one seemed frightened by the experience (if you read more on the abduction phenomenon, most are, quite frankly, terrified). Seems like a lot of woo woo stuff to me. We don't know why the 'others' are here, what their purpose is, where they came from, and what it means for humans as a species. May be good, may be bad.

Mike’s books don’t attempt to answer the question of what UFOs are, but that’s not the point. It’s about how people’s interactions with UFOs seems to create connections with the unexplained, the nature of reality, and each other. There are no simples answers, but Mike does a great job in telling these stories in order to raise questions for the readers to examine.

I got chills reading it! I have only begun reading it, but already I am realizing things that I've never noticed before. It is very intriguing! I can't wait to read more!

Loved his first book.Loved his second book.Looking forward to more!

The book was interesting but there were so many grammatical errors I found it annoying. Did anyone proofread this?The story was good but hard to believe. I've never seen an owl outside a zoo.

I wished it would never end...hope there's a third book coming.

Waren "The Messengers" in ihrer Darstellung der Eule als mythisch-spiritueller Botschafter noch glaubhaft, entzieht sich der Nachfolger jeder Glaubwürdigkeit. Warum?In den USA scheint sich eine Menge schamanisch Veranlagter zu tummeln, die ihre Erleuchtung nach dem Motto Eulensichtung-UFO-Sichtung-geheime Botschaft-Karriere als spiritueller HeilerIn-vollzogen haben. Warum eigentlich nur in den USA? Was hat Europa hier zu bieten?Hat der Autor hier nur die Erzählungen gesiebt, die ihm ins Schema passen, oder haben die "Betroffenen" ihm (nur) das erzählt, was er ohnehin hören/lesen wollte? Ich neige zur zweiten Annahme. Mike Clelland tut sich hier einen Bärendienst.Je mehr er von den Erzählungen publiziert, die ihm ins Kraut passen, desto unglaubhafter wird er. Was meint er eigentlich zu den dämonischen Aspekten der Aliens? In "Messengers" sagt er, dass niemand einen "echten" Alien sehen/erleben könnte, ohne verrückt zu werden. Wo bleiben die Berichte von Augenzeugen in dieser Richtung? (denn die gibt es auch)Fazit: das ganze Konvolut ist für mich unglaubhaft hoch zehn. Wenn Mike Clelland in dieser Richtung weitermacht, tut er mir leid. Zur Klärung: ich habe nichts gegen Eulen, ganz im Gegenteil, ich freue mich, eine sehen/hören zu dürfen...

This second book, a sister to the first, is another wonderful read. Some of the stories from the original book have been expanded upon so there is new information here. I highly recommend this book!

Sequel of 'The Messengers' is an insight with more detail in a handful of the key stories that were told in Part 1. A must have for everyone interested in UFOs, the abduction phenomenon, shamanism and synchronicities. Mike Clelland is a great story teller, and despite the subject being in fact a very dark one, he never fails to report it in a light manner, a truely fascinating story. Also a great choice by Richard Dolan to publish Mike Clelland. Waiting for Part 3!
