Kerstin Peters is as down to earth as you can get, outside of her work as a writer she has spent her spare time investigating the invisible in our lives. What brought her and the others on through the documentary was one of her true dreams, which all warn her of what is to come. A true analyst, Henry Svensson spends most of his time in academia. He is used to plowing through the pages of books, which was an excellent starting point when mysteries needed to be solved for this book. Calle Nyman is used to being on stage and bringing the audience along with his comedy, so it was natural for him to be the one to make the first contact with people who would be part of what changed the trio forever.
The trio of writers, like many others, had been promised gold and green forests in the movement they had met and followed. They got tired of waiting and said goodbye to what they had been part of. But then Kerstin dreamt one of her true dreams, this time with content that again piqued their interest. The dream provided new clues that could have filled a whole book of sect revelations, but more and more they realized that this is much bigger than that. We follow the trio through discovery after discovery, reading about when they meet famous characters from Channie West's diaries, and when they meet people who have genuine extraterrestrial contacts. We also get to sit in on classes, where they get to experience what it's like to meet beings from another world. And most memorably, the long-awaited trip into space, which involved everything but packing for a simple picnic.
It took the trio several years to get from start to finish, and when they felt ready, they brought in someone to help check the facts they had gathered. It was Betina Brandes who undertook to find and interview people who could verify or reject what the colorful characters had given them. She has a good insight into much of the book's content herself, which made her a good outside critic, and she was also responsible for translating the documentary. Reading this 600-page book is like watching a well-researched, exciting documentary. It is so easy to follow, even though it is incredibly fact-packed, because it is lightened by the humor and you are driven by the mysteries.
