A great book for apprehending an awareness of the residents of such a wider world is Serena Roney-Dougal's The Faery Faith: An Integration of Science with Spirit; A book about the worldview of people who experience faery reality.
First of all be aware that its nothing to do with Tinker Bell and a Disneyesque commerce driven world populated by pocket sized saccharin coated child focused toy 'pixies and elfs'.
Serena Roney-Dougal who has a PhD in Parapsychology (the exploration of psychic phenomena; telepathy, clairvoyance and psychokinesis etc) presents her accounts which incorporate the latest views of quantum science, which identifies that our own cognition is a causative effect influencing the outcome of physical events, with the earlier magickal traditions which by various means sought to interact and cooperate with these energies at an elemental level and beyond, drawing on her scientific work with the pineal gland sometimes called the third eye...

Whilst Serena is a qualified researcher in parapsychology and does by the way provide relevant references in the extensive index of her book, she also succinctly and simply portrays an enlightening insight into how the myths and legends of yore present an insight into other levels and realms of existence coexisting with our own reality and goes on to provide many inspiring accounts of how the same Fae and elven energies of earth and beyond are now resurgent in more modern myths and experiences of fairy and elven visitations, ghostly presences and Ufo abductions.
I particularly liked this quote that she included which describes a 'place' outside of physical space 'Faeryland exists as a super-normal state of consciousness into which people may enter in dreams, trance, ecstatic condition or for an indefinite period at death...it can have no other limits than that of the universe itself' (Lady Gregory 1979).

In my opinion Serena successfully portrays the result that the many ancient mythological and modern accounts as well as the scientifically studied psychic phenomena do demonstrate when considered together, that each of us is potentially aware at some level of the natural magic and interconnectedness of ourselves with the earth and infinite universe. ''I feel the faery faith today to be a resurgence in animism, a love of the earth, of nature, aware of spirit immanent in all matter, aware that my body is the temple of my soul, that I am spirit made manifest, that everything I do reverberates throughout the whole universe, that I am a part of the whole and contain the whole within me.... (&) the deities are understood in their abstract mythical form...'' ( http://tinyurl.com/q64ob5q )

I recommend this accessible book to everyone who has ever wondered,
and who is able to follow Fae reasoning as it skips into the new vistas of the para-normal.

I received this book free for Kindle from Amazon.com.

This could be a fun read if it is approached casually and with an open mind. It is a very personal romp through the author's collected knowledge and conclusions. I enjoyed the references to scientific and anthropologic research, but I wish that she had made more detailed arguments for her conclusions and viewpoints at each juncture.

Balance of Faery lore and Science

The book was very informative, thus I gave it a 5 Star Rating. Serena does an excellent job in showing how the two areas actually work with each other. This book was definitely a good read.

Eye opener

Very informative more scientific fact than fluff but just as magickal. Author very experienced in the human psi and the realms of the fair folk.
