Abstract
The overarching purpose of this study is to explore and deepen into the art of spiritual transformation, individual and collective. Using phenomenological, heuristic, and hermeneutic methodological approaches and lenses, we examine the art of human transformation explicated by John E. Mack, M.D., in his transpersonal research on close alien encounters. Additionally, we contemplate far-reaching, personal and transpersonal, implications of Dr. John E. Mack’s research on alien encounters that expand and transform conventional religious and spiritual worldviews, artistic architectures and pursuits, and everyday experiential landscapes.
