John Mack, right, with the Dalai Lama
+++
It’s rare that a mainstream magazine or newspaper tackles the subject of alien abductions without ridiculing the entire field of ufology and the people involved or, at the very least, without dripping sarcasm. But Ralph Blumenthal has accomplished this in a piece for Vanity Fair.
The piece begins in Rhode Island, where a group of abductees have gathered to share their experiences free of stigma and ridicule, and it ends with new information (at least to us) about Harvard psychiatrist John Mack.
In the article, we learned that John Mack had two unpublished manuscripts – one that he considered his “cri de Coeur against scientific materialism and ontological fascism,” and another about life after death. We also learned that after four years of negotiation, the film and TV rights to Mack’s story are going to MakeMagic Productions, which has partnered with Robert Redford’s Wildwood Enterprises. A major film is in development.
One the abductees Mack worked with, a man referred to as ‘Scott,’ recalled his last conversation with Mack in 2004. He was afraid about dying and this is what Mack told him in a reassuring manner. “You never know when it will be your time. We could all go at any time. I could walk out on the street and get hit by a car.”
A few weeks later, while in London, Mack was crossing a street in London when he was struck by a drunken driver and killed.

And Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there!
I always try to be aware of statements like that. You just never know if you’re creating your own demise. I’ve quit saying someone is “brain dead” for the same reason. I look forward to the movie.
Happy Mother’s Day Trish!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly!
ditto…
Interesting article on Vanity Fair, never know, perhaps it’ll set a trend.
I see it’s your Mother’s Day in the US – have a good day.
Thanks, Mike!
It’s Mother’s Day in Oz as well Mike.
I just thought it would be like Valentines Day a day most of the world celebrates on the one day,
but apparently not ?
I discovered it’s even mother’s day in Cuba!
Mother’s Day in the UK is on the fourth Sunday of Lent (three weeks before Easter Sunday). So this year it was on March 10th.
Very interesting…………and sad that he had such a premonition about a sudden death as well.
And Happy Mother’s Day to you as well!
Thanks, Lauren! As om to two kitties, you have a good one too!

It has to be great!
Thanks for the link!
