The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds

Edgar Mitchell, who, along with Alan Shepard, walked on the lunar surface in 1971, traces the progress of two remarkable journeys: his life-changing space flight and his exploration of the ineffable mystery of consciousness and being. "Everyone has talked about science and religion . . . but Mitchell has really dug into the main paradoxical issues and comes up with a resolving viewpoint".—Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D.
