Professor John E. Mack was the head of the Harvard Department of Psychiatry, and a UFO/ET Contact advocate. In this never before seen talk Mack compares the opposition he faced from Harvard authorities to what happened to Wilhelm Reich when he tried to institute new ideas about bio-energy (orgone), sexuality and psychology. From one radicle thinker about another, the video was recorded by Alan Steinfeld and new Realities at the Wilhelm Reich Symposium organized by Michael Mannion for the Friends of the Institute of Noetic Science (FIONS) in 2003 at the Academy of Medicine in New York City.

In 1947 after two critical articles about Reich appeared in The New Republic and Harper's, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration obtained an injunction against the interstate shipment of orgone accumulators and associated literature, calling them "fraud of the first magnitude". Charged with contempt in 1956 for having violated the injunction, Reich was sentenced to two years imprisonment, and that summer over six tons of his publications were burned by order of the court. He died in prison of heart failure just over a year later.

A previously unpublished essay of Dr. Mack appears in Alan Steinfeld's new book is called Making Contact: The New Realities of Extraterrestial Existence. Order the book at: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Contact...

Esteemed professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Pulitzer Prize-winning author John E. Mack M.D. (October 4, 1929 - Sep 27, 2004) spent his career examining how a sense of connection develops across cultures and between individuals, and how these connections alter people's worldviews. His interest in different worldviews was not limited to the terrestrial; for more than ten years he studied people who reported a connection existed between themselves and ''aliens''. Two books detailed how these ''alien encounters'' had affected the way people regarded the world - including heightening their sense of spirituality and their environmental concern. These were widely reported in the media as a simple endorsement of the reality of alien encounters, and he endured an inquiry by Harvard to determine whether this research met the standards of a Harvard professor. (The medical school ultimately ''reaffirmed Dr. Mack's academic freedom to study what he wishes and to state his opinions without impediment.'')


Besides John Mack, Making Contact contains other original writings by: Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Strieber, Darryl Anka, Nick Pope, Grant Cameron, Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak, Caroline Cory, Mary Rodwell, Henrietta Weekes. Alan Steinfeld, contributes and curates the collection with 30 years of experience with the subject. The Foreword by George Noory of Coast to Coast AM kicks off the volume with his veteran overview of the need to wake up to the “new realities of extraterrestrial existence.
