Description:

In Old Atlantis, a group of Atlanteans sought to escape from religious persecution. Through their mastery of psychic abilities they knew of the approaching destruction of their home and, using advanced technology they developed secretly, they traveled through time to the late 19th Century, an age of relative geological stability. Since then, they have been responsible for many of the UFO sightings and alien abductions that have been reported. In 1940 these UFO occupants abducted Ida Kannenberg and implanted her with a device in preparation for making contact with her years later. After years of painful training Ida found herself in telepathic contact with a constant companion inside her head: Hweig. Ida maintained her skepticism, and her good humor, throughout, both of which are apparent in these essays. Here the Old Atlanteans explain that their overall purpose is no less than the evolution of man; for us to regain our lost psychic abilities, and to emerge at last into cosmic adulthood.
