This is quite an interesting book, Erich has made some minor errors in relation to Buddhism and
Christianity, generally however it is well worth the read. There may be a few more scan errors than
usual (sorry about that) but I had to type and correct large blocks of texts because the book was quite
worn and unfortunately it was marked out with different pen colours.
Kind Regards

Foreword
This is a book I had to write from the heart. I've been carrying
it around inside me for ten years, ever since my first visit to Lourdes, that vast caravanserai where
hope, despair and commercialism thrive side by side. I was haunted by the images and dirges I had
seen and heard there.
While I was following the trail of my astronaut gods through the five continents, I made a point of
visiting every accessible visionary shrine. How alike they all were in essence! It became increasingly
clear to me that the phenomenon of visions is something that concerns us all. I did not forget my spacetravelling
gods, but there are some books that ripen like autumn fruit.
What are the people who seem to be predisposed to have visions really like?
Are they psychologically unbalanced religious fanatics?
Are their 'miracles' simply an attempt to ingratiate them- selves with the Christian churches, especially
the Roman Catholic Church, that accept their wonders as 'genuine'?
Did the dogmas of the Catholic Church, which also play a vital role in visions, originate by divine
inspiration?
Are we really supposed to believe that God's word, the last Court of Appeal when authoritative
Christian judgments are-delivered, is inspired by the Holy Ghost?
Are the multifarious miracles which undoubtedly happen at places of pilgrimage delusions or selfdelusions?
Is there a broad basis of medical and scientific fact behind these miracles which makes them credible
