The Key: A True Encounter

I have been reading Whitley's work since I was 12 years old, in the 6th grade, when a book was handed to me as if by fate by a younger child on the school bus. He had accidentally ended up with the book "Transformation" and gave it to me, although he never read it himself and I had never read any alien books before this. I just purchased "The Key" because I felt an impending need to advance my spiritual awareness with something new. I get this impending desire and every year or so, when this desire hits me, I have to read non stop for several weeks until I feel sufficiently balanced with new information. The Key really exceeded my expectations. Strieber's writing is so compassionate and humble, and yet very articulate and intelligent. Most male authors are hard to follow because they write with too much intellectualism, and not enough sympathy for their reader. Strieber is incredibly intelligent, and has a way with words, but he writes with respect for his audience, in a way that is at once eloquent, and yet simple enough to understand for people who don't normally read at an extremely high level. (I don't read novels and so I have trouble with some male authors who tend to write with too many complex words crammed together which tends to bludgeon the senses and distract the reader from the content or message). I always find myself gliding through Strieber's work, as his writing has a clear fluidity. I feel calm and happy having read his work, as he is a true artist with his words. Now, onto to the content of this book. I have read supernatural books and alien books since I was 12. I am 29 now. I have many years of being exposed to very large subjects and I have spent many years having brief out of body experiences, time travel dreams, precognition, telepathy, and other strange paranormal events, including sleep paralysis, clear observations of a silent flying triangle with no lights on it, video tape footage of flying black orbs that I had dreamed about the night before I video taped them. I believe I have encountered spiritual beings of other dimensions myself. I have also read the work of Stewart Swerdlow, Dolores Cannon, Ashayanna Deanne, Barbara Marciniak, and Esther Hicks, which I recommend reading all of these authors. I have listed to Alex Collier, Charles Hall, Bob Dean, Bob Lazar, David Icke, and others who talk of reptilian control, or other strange things happening on Earth. Well, in summar, this book, The Key fits with everything I have ever read or learned. Most books immediately strike me as being wrong in so many ways, and packed with inaccurate information that cannot be corroborated. This is not the case with Striebers book. It actually summarizes the process of the soul in a way that agrees with many other books I have read. I immediately took a liking to this book and read it in 1 day, every page was extremely fascinating, although it's not a very large book, and certainly not a novel, but the content is more rich and concentrated than any small book I have ever read. Specifically the information about the soul, reincarnation and the ability to form a radiant body or astral body that is permanent, all coincides and agrees with the work of Dolore Cannon and Ashayanna Deanne. Dolores Cannon just published a new book, called "The Convoluted Universe - Part 4" that actually indicates the same principles, that some people here on Earth are not useful people, they are so controlled, that their soul has no been allowed to form a radiant body, and when they die, they do not have sufficient energy to maintain their own indemnity, and will instead be fused back into creation, lost forever as a fragment. However, some of us, about 50% of the people who have lived on Earth, have been able to form a permanent radiant body. What this means is that people who are asleep and who seem brain washed, really are lost souls. These people need help, and I have always sensed that, but now after reading this book and seeing the information corroborated with Dolores Cannon's books, and Ashayanna Deanes books, I feel that people who are close minded are truly facing the possibility of being destroyed, and lost forever, and these people, if they are to continue on into an afterlife, and get a chance at being either reborn or allowed to continue on in the form of an astral being, they need to open their minds.Now, this book contains some problems. One problem is that the person Strieber encounters never outright says he is not a machine. He answers Strieber's inquiry about this matter by saying "If I was a machine I would deceive you." Some of the words in this book therefore, could be a deception, although my gut feeling is that most of it is all correct. What strikes me as being incorrect, is the notion that Humans come from primates who were forced to evolve because of natural pressure. In Dolores' books, Swerdlows interviews, Icke's research, Ashayanna's books, and other material, it is clearly indicated that Human life didn't start on Earth, Earth is a colony that was started by reptilians and original humans from Lyra, and the current Human form is a hybrid of reptilian and mammalian genetics, this is why we have such unstable and yet compulsive tendencies, and why it is hard to reach balance, because we are a hybrid species with 2 different baseline genetics that are always fighting for control, and these impulses make it difficult being a Human. I saw an old man recently that has perfectly formed vertical pupils and blue green eyes. I have also seen a person walking in Montana with blue eyes, and he had perfectly formed reptilian pupils. Because I've seen these people in person, it lends more credibility to the reptilian theory. Swerdlow says that reptilians were on Earth first, and are the controllers now, however they reached a compromise allowing the Human hybrid to be created. Instead of fighting for control over the planet, an agreement was made to create the current version of the Human, with genetics from both factions being shared with us. The royal bloodlines on Earth contain more reptilian genetics than ordinary citizens, and this is where the feudal system comes from, "the right to rule, based on your bloodline."In the end I am not sure what to believe, and I am open to all suggestions and this is why I enjoy reading. However, I do not entertain the idea that monkeys turned into humans naturally without intervention, and I think any book that talks about evolution and forces it upon us as being the reason for Human existence, is obviously disinformation, or misinformation. If you study the true fossil record, you will see that many archeologists have found 8 foot tall human skeletons, some being even larger than that, and many human remains have been found that far pre-date even the oldest remains of monkeys, so humans were apparently here long before primates. The actual physical evidence on Earth is completely against the process of evolution. Evolution does happen, but it doesn't create a new intelligent race of beings overnight, as is the case with Humans. Research Lloyd Pie, and the alien skull he has called the "Star Child Skull." This is a real alien skull in the possession of Lloyd Pie. Or research "Hidden Archeology" a book that has several essays written about famous discoveries that can easily disprove what is taught as "evolution."This book, The Key, is amazing and I am very glad I purchased it. But I will need to spend some time reflecting on it's meanings, and corroborating it. I would remain slightly skeptical about it, only because the person who Strieber met does indeed have a sense of negativity about him, and inspiring fear into people can cause chaos in its self, by forcing people to think about something negative, which then uses the power of the conscious mind, together collectively, to create that negative reality. Realities can be altered or made to be more probable simply by feeding a mass of people a negative thought, and this thought creates a new template of reality. So if you do read this, please keep a positive uplifted mind, do not allow it to scare you.

The information herein is very simple to understand. "The Master of the Key" is very thorough. If you understand that there is no God, only Love, you'll see what he is saying. I'm reading it for a second time to get what I've missed on my first pass. A significant book. I highly recommend it.TaosGuyUPDATE: 4/18/2013 I've since read this book many times. I've learned to basically ignore Whitley and just read the Master.In early December, just before the great Winter Solstice of 12/21/2012, I shifted into a higher form of myself. I quickly learned that there is no Ascension... We are all Ascended beings. I became very powerful and my voice and mannerisms changed dramatically.One night my wife asked who she was it that she was talking to, as we were going to bed. I replied "You!" My regular self was in the background, so to speak... In the back seat. That answer makes sense since we have been together for Eons. We are truly in Love. At our Spirit level we are both male (positive) and female (negative) polarities. So we are of the same Spirit. So "you" is the correct answer.I died in 2006, April, Holy Thursday of Easter, of massive blood loss due to an advanced form of Leukemia. Cancer of the Bone Marrow. Over four years I was eaten alive, from the inside out and had lost half of my body weight. I was emaciated. There was no way for me to come back from death as I had no blood! Three days later I woke up to this world, although I was still in an elevated state. It was wonderful! I Loved everybody and everything unconditionally. I'm the only one in the world to have survived this cancer because it's so devastating. It was all happening over the Easter weekend.During the time I was gone I went directly up above all Creation. No tunnel, no deceased relatives, just before what I thought was God. It was what they describe as a Quantum Jump. At first I thought the energy was power but quickly realized that it was Love. The Love that I felt was unbelievable. I looked at this enormous Light Being and then looked at myself and it appeared that I was made of the same energy, the same stuff! There was nothing around us, but I had no fear of falling. It was just wonderful! I could look down and see all Creation... All of the Universes, all of the dimensions (Many Mansions) everything. And it was all driven by the Love that I was feeling. I was also given many gifts.Now, after my experience a few months ago, I believe that what I saw way back in 2006 was my higher self, not God. It was hard to accept but "they" showed me. I learned that there is only Love. There is no God per se, just this unbelievable Love that is behind everything. Everything! We are all part of this Love. Every last one of us. That there is no evil, just selfish choices. We are never judged. We judge ourselves in a very Loving way, just after death.At night "they" would give me lessons. Take me on journeys to other places. One night I must have been shown 20,000 examples that everything turns out for the Good. They were very adamant that I understand it. Everything is for the Good. There is only good because everything is Love. It's not God is Love, but Love is God. It's all One!All of the churches have bought into this view that God is vengeful. I think it's a good way to control people too. It's just Love. I can't say it enough. My father thought that he was going to hell. Poor man. His church had beaten him into accepting that he just wasn't good enough. We are all good. Most older people I meet, who are close to passing, are afraid because their God is going to judge them and they'll never measure up. They usually won't listen when I tell them that there is no hell or judgement. Just Love. What a shame. Will they get a surprise!After I had moved into this higher self I was at my doctor's office. All of a sudden the women in the waiting room started crying. A man asked, "What are you crying about?" The woman replied, "I've never felt Love like this before!" I had 15-20 people at a time come over to my house and I would help them understand. I had a lot of Power. It was hard to manage. If there is any evil it's our Ego. I saw my Ego as I was coming back to my body, just after Easter Sunday, 2006. It was a black, smokey mist. When it finally joined with me I was fully human again. please understand... our Ego is interpreted as the devil. always wanting us to do everything for ourselves, rather than giving to others. I've always tried very hard to remain humble, but as a human that is always a chore.I'm now 68 years old. I'm still fighting to get on my feet. Over the last 11 years I've survived 38 terminal illnesses. I endure because I believe! One night last Fall at 2:30am I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. I was in so much pain, horrible, and so weak that I fell onto the toilet breaking the seat. I was at the end of my rope. I was exhausted, depressed and worn out as I had not slept in a week. I looked up and told God to, "*uck you! Why don't you take me and then you can really punish me." All of a sudden there was the Christ standing in front of me. I looked away and then back again thinking I was hallucinating. But there He was, Jesus! He is so beautiful, but manly, very masculine. So Loving. He wiped away my depression and gave me a great sense of well being. He knows our trials because He is completely human. He understands our predicament here in the 3rd dimension. He promised to be always with us and He is. Are we Blessed or what?Thank you for sticking with me. I just wanted to add a few comments to my original review of the Key. But I seemed to have gotten carried away with myself. Sorry. Please understand. I just want people to know that we are all Blessed, very special. As it says in the Psalms, "Who are we that we are placed above the Stars!"UPDATE: 6/12/2013 I was just diagnosed terminal again with the same cancer. This time death will come quickly. I've been telling my wife that I was dying for the last two months. I need to cross over again to have a meeting with my Spiritual liaisons, then come back renewed and ready to help others through this important period of challenge. We are all Blessed.TaosGuy

I want to thank Whitley Strieber for writing this book.It is a game changer on how we as humans need to 'step up' if we are to survive. Compassion for ALL things is the key. Though parts of what Michael said, leave me a little confused and unsure of it's meaning, I will certainly re-read this book to better understand.If anyone is interested in the ET phenomenon, I encourage you to read this book. Add it to your library.I have been following Mr. Strieber for many years now and will continue as long as he/I are able.Certainly there is much wisdom in the words he writes and I am eternally grateful for all he contributes in his writings; as I know the journey for him has been hard....especially from the ignorance of humanity.Keep writing Whitley! We need more books like this on knowledgable words to learn and grow as humans. Blessings to you, always!

I liked this book. Despite it is about an encounter of some sort, it contains information I never found in no other text. Its amazing

I first got into Whitley Strieber in the 1990s when I read a few of his "abduction" books, and I'll admit they really freaked me out. I'd had a close encounter experience (Not beings just craft) several years earlier which is what got me into the topic of UFOs when I inevitably came across Whitleys books like Communion, Confirmation and the Secret School. I didn't know what to make of the abduction phenomena although I thought most cases were probably non-sense. I was never sure about Whitleys experiences but they scared me nevertheless. I've always found him an interesting figure though and over the years purchased a few more of his books and was for a couple of years an active member in his online forum.Now with the background of how I came to this book out of the way I'll give my review. I didn't buy this particular book til last yr and only recently got around to reading it and I can sum it up in 2 words, SIMPLY BRILLIANT. It is like a self help spiritual guide book in many ways. I don't even care if the meeting with the guy in the hotel room ever actually happened or not because there is a lot of wisdom imparted in this book. Reminds me of something along the lines of Eckhart Tolle only more concise. Great book, would highly recommend it.

著者のUFO関連書は、今までいわゆるグレイとの遭遇がメインでしたが、本書は人間のような生命体との接触を述べています。そのため会話の内容が詳細で具体的で、著者の質問に対して明確な回答をしています。 会見の最後に記憶を曖昧にするような白い液体を飲まされた可能性を述べており、現実の体験であったのかどうか、読者には判断がつかないところが気になるところです。 ただし、述べられている会話の内容は、非常に示唆に富み、含蓄のある文章が多く、深く考えさせられました。ヒントにあふれた良書で、英語でも読む価値はあると思います。

There have been a number of writers delivering 'channelled' material to the world in recent times - Gabrielle Bossis, Joseph Brenner, Eileen Caddy, Brian Cleeve, Helen Greaves, Ian Lawton, Dorothy Maclean, 'Two Listeners', Neale Donald Walsh, not to mention a large number of Marian visions. All of these writings need approaching with care and thought. Each seems aimed at a particular audience, though always with a central core seeking to persuade mankind (and individuals!) urgently to change its (their) ways. This particular book is aimed at a very particular readership - it contains talk of alien presence, government secrecy, intelligent machines, quantum physics, etc. - and yet I would urge anyone with any interest in hard core spirituality to give it a read.The heart of the book is a 100-page 'Conversation' with a night-time visitor to Strieber's hotel room. The surrounding chapters could make us think Strieber is merely having us on; yet the moment one reads the Conversation itself, one is gripped, and such questions don't matter. Indeed, the Conversation itself may at times seem to veer into regions that will not interest all readers; but I would urge people to stay with it, as within a couple of pages, something will have been said of the most powerful and urgent interest.Be warned that there are some pretty harsh messages amidst these pages, both about this life and the next, so if you're not up for this, give the book a miss. But then you will be missing some wonderful sentences:"God wants true companions, not supplicants.""Forgiveness is not an act. It is a state of being.""Unless you bear the kingdom within you, the kingdom will vanish from the face of the earth."[Of those who succeeded in transforming their deaths in the holocaust:] "They made of their suffering, with great effort, what one who attains the heart of a child may easily make of the drift of a cloud or the peaceful ringing of a bell upon a summer evening. ...It is easier to reach ecstasy through joy than through suffering."Christ, Mohammed and the Buddha are all embraced, though not necessarily the religions that have been formed around them. A certain respect is paid to Hinduism also. But the great stress is on surrendering to God, despite the need to operate in this world, squaring this seemingly impossible circle and acting without fear. That we are all one is very much to the fore. And it is described how we are imprinting our 'energetic bodies' with our experience at every moment, and how crucial it is that we do this with intensity and without the least trace of sin. The faculty of attention is stated as vital, and there are simple, easy suggestions for attaining this - meditate, becoming aware of physical sensation. "Find God within and the universe without" seems a first class motto.Another reviewer has rightly stated that what you get from this book will depend on what you bring to the table. Indeed, one of the American reviewers appears to me to have brought their own agenda to the table - I actually don't recognise the book from their review. We are indeed encouraged to have an observer's awareness of our experience, but is this "to have a strong sense of self"? The book actually carries the line, "To join God, you have to leave your self behind."Though I have only had this book for a couple of weeks, I am now beginning my fifth read of this conversation. Each reading takes me longer than the last, partly because I take time to consider and challenge every statement. (You will have your own opinions about the text.) But mostly I am slowed by having to stop and lay the book aside, so overcome am I by line after line. The text will not 'bite' for everyone; but if you have even the smallest interest in seeing if it may 'bite' for you, don't hesitate - buy! now!
