This book is insane. In the first two chapters alone, the author claims the following:

Dolphins can communicate telepathically.
Dolphins can use their sonar to create messages inside objects, such as shrieking at a sea shell, so that other dolphins can retrieve the information later.
Sonar shapes objects physically, and Wyllie speculates that dolphins create things like sand dollars.
Dolphins can cure cancer with their sonar.
Dolphins can control the weather.
Dolphins are in touch with aliens, angels, and beings on other planes of existence.

What evidence does Wyllie provide for any of this? None.

Much later in the book, Wyllie writes:

"Obviously, within limits, certain things can be proved, but they generally have to do with matters and events in the grosser realms of existence. Telepathic encounters with dolphins, extraterrestrials, and now communication with the angelic spheres do not fall into this category. In these we have to listen to the internal integrity of the contacts themselves and discern for ourselves the larger patchwork quilt of affairs on this planet. In these encounters, the obsessional need for proof scares away the quiet place of joy needed for the contact -- the reason too, why you never find these matters taking place in the laboratory."

Which is insane. Wyllie is completely nuts. Worse, I think he encourages madness in others.

Reality is complex and messy. Fantasy (or a conspiracy theory) is tidy. The "internal integrity" of delusions can be more appealing that the chaos of real life.

After talking about dolphins for a few chapters, Wyllie starts talking about guys he met in the Bahamas (Rastafarians). I assumed this was a digression, and we'd get back to dolphins eventually. Nope. Then he moves on to aliens. Then ends with channeling. Although he assures us all of these things are connected, they aren't really, so the book is a sprawling mess.

(Although he says in an afterward that a dolphin telepathically told him to focus on the angels.)

The channeling sections are extremely boring and painful to read. I ended up skipping most of these pages. Angelic beings are boring as hell.

An example of an angelic being's wisdom:

"Caution may also be seen and understood by us as an aspect of wisdom functioning through the Seventh Circuit. These then would be valid channels for the expression of the Mother Spirit. Let us lift the cloud of worry from you -- where there is reticence, transform it to caution and seek then wisdom."

In the later chapters, there are pages and pages of this boring gibberish. All of it is about vibrations and spiritual growth and the other world. Love is everything and humanity will rise up and become in tune with the universe and blah blah blah. Typical new age nonsense.

At least there really were dolphins they thought they were talking to. In the channeling chapters, it's Wyllie and friends deluding each other by talking to a dozen or so angelic beings, each with its own idiotic name: Talantia, Elyan, Mentoria, Shandron, and so on.

I enjoy reading books like these for two reasons: they are hilarious and insane. But also, because I'm jealous. I would like to have wild, spiritual adventures with aliens and telepathy. But I can't because it's all so goddamn stupid.

"Love is everything and love is all? Thanks, telepathic dolphin, for this fantastic insight."

Having said all of this, I didn't even mention Wyllie talking about how he was in a cult. He was, in fact, one of the founding members. Wyllie touches on this briefly and in a bit of a cagey fashion. There's a whole other book out there on that topic --"Love Sex Fear Death: the Inside Story of the Process Church of the Final Judgment". I might be reading that book next.

Wyllie is an interesting character. He's the perfect example of someone so open minded that their brain has fallen out. His writing is surprisingly good, most of the time. Some of the experiences he describes are astounding. Tripping balls on drugs, a gold and black hallucinatory snake crawls into his eye, lays eggs on his belly, then crawls out his mouth. A near death experience in the bathtub takes him to heaven and back to earth.

If you Google Timothy Wyllie, you can find all sorts of crazy crap. Wyllie doing interviews. Guided meditations. Articles about The Process cult. And a series of books about angels.

Did I mention that Wyllie believes the new age dawned because Satan and God reconciled, and thus the conflict defining most of humanity's history has ended?

Yeah, it's a crazy book.

3 stars because it's so bad it's good, and so good it's bad. Plus those channeling chapters are the worst.

This is a book that will likely demand a suspension of disbelief on the part of most readers in order to begin to engage the realms of mind and dimensions of reality that Timothy Wyllie so adeptly explores. Wyllie takes us through his explorations of interspecies communication and telepathy (focused primarily on dolphins), UFO encounters and related synchronistic phenomenon, mediumship and possession, and means of communicating with angels, devas, and elementals. I personally found his insights into cetacean lifeworlds to be the most engaging part of the book. Take, for example, his speculative claim concerning an information storage method that the dolphins employ (which he discovered under the influence of PCP, as is revealed in a recent interview): "I saw the dolphins, possessing no hands or opposable digits, creating artifacts by modulating sound waves. By overlaying living protoplasm with acoustic holograms they are able to store and retrieve information from living organisms. The closest I came to understanding it was in the sense of an organic computer - a shell, for instance, like a Nautilus, acting as a dolphin book, storing information until it is released in an information cluster at the appropriate signal." No matter what you make of this and related hypotheses, Wyllie presents a narrative that allows the free mind to understand the ways in which our species currently exists in a state of "hypnotic lock", and he makes very compelling suggestions as to how to begin to extricate ourselves from our species wide, self-imposed imaginative and cultural modes of repression. "What we cannot conceive, we cannot perceive, and there is no reason to believe the situation has radically changed wit our recent psychological and philosophical discernments." But the dawning of a more humane and open awareness is, according to transmissions received from other than human intelligences, coming into being by way of the formation of "a Network of Light of World Servers who, by their efforts and hearts' desires, will transmute the energies coursing through our world at this point in time. This entity, a group soul or Anima Mundi, appears to be composed of all sentient intelligence systems on the planet working together in some form of transcendent unity." Fundamentally, this is a book about interdependence and the possibility of world peace. Taking the dolphins as an example, this book can teach us how to perceive the world freed from the lenses of oppression, hatred, fear, and mistrust. As Wyllie explains, interdependence inherently precludes hostility. "I realized then that dolphins have no real comprehension of hostility or contention. Their interdependence somehow precludes it. The irrational hatreds we humans think little of throwing at each other haven't normally fallen within their perceptual spectrum." Wyllie gives us the hope and suggests some of the tools that we can collectively utilize in order to realize this vision of a beatific reality in all its synesthetic splendour.

Side notes: I don’t wish to view doubt as a symbol of intellect and sophistication.
Scientific research falls woefully short of the complexities of life.

I agree with him that reality is far more subjective than the present day common viewpoint.

Although I did enjoy the second and final wave of angels, I kinda wish this book was instead called “Dolphins, dolphins & dolphins with some Rastas, aliens and Oscar” and for the content inside to follow suit.

A good easy, light read. Very interesting and informative about dolphins in particular, though also touching on some other topics (UFOs, ETs), interesting conversations (child in NYC, angels, Bahamian folk), discoveries and happenings (telepathy between man and dolphin, synchronicities, Oscar? exploring UFO).

absolutely insane book that i found in a coffee shop and had to keep because it was such a wild ride. 75% lies but you won’t care because you will be like….why did he write this!?!? 4 stars because i had fun and at times was genuinely enchanted. TBF i have not reread for about 10 years

I'm disappointed to say that I love this in the way I love Ancient Aliens. He's creative, I'll give him that

[Corbett · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the ideas he presents in this book. I did think he spent too much time on who he smoked with, but then I met him in person and it was a great buzz. His energy is so high the ceiling had to raise 2 feet.
