Synopsis
Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century is the true story of this author's contact with a "dead" physicist colleague, and the telepathic communication that forced him to seek scientific answers to spiritual questions such as these classics: Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? For more than a decade, Harper embarked on a spiritual quest of careful reflection and methodical research in "abnormal physics and paranormal psychology," as he says. This headstrong but heartfelt effort would plunge Harper into the depths of despair and then lift him up to the heights of ecstasy over and over again as he produced an inspired synthesis of great ideas of all ages from cream-of-the-crop scientists and spiritualists. In this unique book, Harper offers comfort far from the simplistic optimism of New Age writers through a deep sense of "knowing," and that becomes obvious in the preface itself; yet his truth rings true from the first page to the last one. He never loses sight of his objective either, explaining how the mystical experience of every culture is an initiation into the fifth dimension of the shaman's consciousness.Throughout, Harper summons an astounding array of facts that lend credence to his seminal vision for the rediscovered myths of long-gone but not forgotten civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians, and the schools of thought espoused by so-called Freemasons.

In short, he has built on a solid academic foundation that spans many disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, astrology, physics, psychology, biology, history, mathematics, and medicine to name but a few. Moreover, this is an easy-to-read, intelligent, honest book not to be overlooked as Harper spews scientific theory and salutes spiritual teachings equally. He sees no contradiction between these two models of reality anymore. There is an irrepressible faith here and a rare chance to find solace in a time-of-trouble by reviewing the insights gleaned from Harper's communion with the "realm of the dead" and God. In summary, if you think, you are; and if you are, you will profit from thinking about Harper's visions of future world events that he outlines clearly to prepare us all for the Second Coming of Christ Consciousness in era-2012.

Customer Reviews

Groundbreaking
This book is insightful, interesting, groundbreaking and a beautiful read. John Jay Harper has laid his life down on the pages for all to see and his scientific ability has revealed a new dimension of existence. This is profound stuff and I urge everybody to read it.

Hotch potch - going nowhere
The ideas go in every direction, but never quite pull it all together. The essential work of Bruce Lipton seems to have been hijacked and used as a vehicle to concoct something which has very little to do with modern or even ancient shamanism. What really turned me off was the sliding into doom and gloom predictions about the 2012 events. If the author really understood the message from the consciousness of our cells, then he could not possibly have fallen into these traps of negativity.
Perhaps I have missed something here, but after reading this book I was left with the feeling that I have totally wasted my money. So I have given it 2 stars just for the effort of trying to deal with a difficult subject and I am sure his intentions were pure.

A good subject very poorly presented
This book promises a lot but delivers little. The idea that the whole universe and all life and matter within it are connected is not a new idea. It has been around since before the times of the ancient Egyptians and this idea was at the heart of gnostic beliefs.

The authors have presented the subject under the guise of their view of Christianity and even then it is not a very objective view from the point of the Christian church. It would have been far better to present the subject from the broad spectrum of religions that believe in this idea.

I was really looking forward to reading this book as there is now more and more scientific evidence to support the interconnectedness of the universe, but as it was I discarded it half way through, totally disillusioned and fed up with the preaching from within it's covers. Furthermore, the grammar is diabolical.
