“STONER TO SEEKER: PHOTOGRAPHS OF INDIA” India is the pot of gold at the end of the hippie rainbow Here you can lose or find yourself. You have absolute freedom: you can be transformed into a new spiritual being or be transfixed into a drooling, nodding off junkie. “Stoner To Seeker: The India Photographs” chronicles Indian life in the 1970s. I spent a year and a half traveling all over the Indian subcontinent recording lives, hopes, dreams, and sorrows. India is the most fascinating country in the world where religion, western consumer culture, communism and a traditional way of life are all competing for the soul of India. I was “a stranger in a strange land” and I tried to record that exoticism and awe in my photographs and with written words in my companion Journal. I arrived in India as a stoned freak (hippie-ki-yay) and through my experiences of interacting with students, merchants, intellectuals, sahhus and fellow freaks became a siddhartha, exploring religions, philosophies, and other worldliness approaches to life’s goals. This is my vision of India, a bright multi-colored prism of light as seen through a lens darkly.

STONER TO SEEKER: VOLUME I: THE PHOTOGRAHS is my impression of two of the most fascinating countries in Asia. Bangladesh is a brand-new country and I was there just a few months after they won their hard fought independence from Pakistan. I have photographed students, small businessmen, fishermen and villagers showing how they realize their hopes and dreams for this verdant paradise. Kathmandu, Nepal is the last stop on the overland Hippie Trail from Europe to Asia. What we found was a medieval country and it is the people, places and way of life of this mystical land that I recorded with my camera. I have documented a time, the 1970s, before the all-pervading Western culture, the Economic Miracle and the geo-political revolutions changed Asia irrevocably. This is my photographic vision of Asia, a bright shining candle before the winds of change extinguished it forever.

“Sojourner to Stoner: The Photographs “is my impression of Southeast Asia in the 1970s. I spent over a year as an officer in the U.S. Army in South Korea and close to two years traveling throughout Asia, first as a backpacker and later as a Hippie (yippee-ki-yay). “The Photographs” are a companion piece to my written book, called with great imagination: “Sojourner to Stoner: The Journal” I have documented a time, the 1970s, before the all-pervading Western culture (sex, drugs, and rock and roll) and The Economic Miracle changed Asia irrevocably. The book portrays the lives of ordinary people and their unique cultures, religions and traditional ways of life. The Asia of Conrad and Maughan is gone, and the war-torn Asia of Vietnam will also pass. This is my time-capsule vision of Asia, a bright shining light from a galaxy far far away that has already disappeared.

The essential guide for people who have experienced alien contact and for those who love them. It has been twenty years since the publication of How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction by Ann Druffel. This new book by UFO researcher Kathleen Marden is the essential handbook for this generation. This is the fundamental reference and guide for those who have experienced contact with nonhuman intelligent (NHI) entities, families & friends of those “experiencers,” and anyone interested in alien abduction and contact and UFOs. The ten chapters in this book are based on years of research and access to the files of MUFON and the Dr. Edgar Mitchel Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters. Chapters include: Am I an abductee, a contactee, or an experiencer? How to investigate your contact experiences When you discover that it isn’t ET: ghosts and paranormal phenomena When you want it to stop: coping strategies and resistance techniques Wide-ranging, informative, and helpful, this is a book that will find a place as a crucial resource for anyone fascinated by visitations from other worlds. Praise for Extraterrestrial Contact “Finally, there is a (much needed and long awaited) practical handbook for anyone looking for guidance on how to comprehend, evaluate, and digest alien abduction memories into the framework of life in the 21st century. . . . An eye-opening bridge for future generations, as it is predicted humanity will likely inhabit another planet by the end of the next century. If contact is inevitable, perhaps those who have been abducted will one day be honored as our evolutionary ambassadors.” —Jennifer W. Stein, Documentary Producer of Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton “Once again, author and investigator Kathleen Marden has made a remarkable contribution to the world of serious UFO literature. This wealth of practical, well-documented information contained in [Extraterrestrial Contact] will be invaluable to experiencers and abductees as well as to educators, mental health professionals, and to serious students of ufology worldwide.” —Peter Robbins, long-time assistant to pioneer UFO abduction researcher Budd Hopkins, author, and investigative writer
