Reading further into Vallee's Invisible College. I don't think any conversation on Geller can be complete without really digging into Geller's relationship with Andrija Puharich. Also essential is Geller's UFO experience, and the fact that Geller and Andrija Puharich together channeled an entity called SPECTRA. This turns out to be a very complicated story.
From Invisible College:
During this hypnotic session, Geller recalled his early experiences with UFOs as a child. At the age of three, as he was playing in a garden in Tel Aviv, he saw a large shining bowl-shaped light in the sky above him, on December 25, 1949. And there was a huge, very bright shining figure in the garden:
The shining figure had no face that could be seen, only a radiant countenance. Uri gazed at this radiance in total hypnotism. Then he became aware of arms slowly moving out from the side of the body of the radiance. The arms were raised over the “head” of the radiance, and then Uri saw that held between the hands was the sun. It was so blazing in its brightness that Uri passed out from the power of its rays, with the pain of blindness. At that point of the hypnotic session, a voice was heard in the room. It identified itself as the source that had found Uri in the garden and had “programmed” him.
The message was impressive but also absurd: “We reveal ourselves because … plans for war have been made by Egypt.” The alleged cosmic intelligence was expressing the same concern that was in the minds of the people gathered in that apartment in Israel, and these people were so overwhelmed by the communication that it did not occur to them that such a cosmic power, if real, would have been able to stop a war with considerable ease. After all, if they can stop automobile engines, why not simply freeze the motions of all the tanks in the Middle East? Instead, Uri and Puharich took the message literally. And they took literally every one of the messages that followed, reading infinite wisdom into pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo that often emerged from their tape recorder: “There is a dematerialized aspect to your atoms that we can use” (p. 166), and “We need that mass landing like you people on earth call refueling, and charging up, like a huge plane of yours charges up with electricity. We do that through your barometric and cosmic layer around earth” (p. 179).
On another occasion, the alleged cosmic intelligence even uttered this piece of wisdom: We have passed our souls, bodies and minds into computors [sic] and moved several of millions of light-years backwards toward your time and dimension. In due time we shall receive all material coming back to our main center which is zoned into a different dimension than yours. This different dimension lies beyond the so-called star, and so-called god, so-called planet that you call the sun. It is millions of light-years backwards into the dieshold [?] of the ages.
