Furthers the revelations of The Urantia Book , providing a beautiful vision of our coming return to the Multiverse
• Offers angelic reassurance that “Armageddon has been canceled” and that the coming transition will be gentle and the future positive
• Explains Lucifer’s angelic rebellion, its impact on the past 200,000 years, and the transformation of consciousness on the horizon as the fallen angels return
• Shares the author’s spiritual wisdom gained through extensive travels and encounters with angels, ETs, and other enlightened beings
As recorded in The Urantia Book , two hundred millennia ago 37 planets, including our own, were quarantined from the rest of the Multiverse to quell the spread of the Lucifer rebellion within the angelic hierarchy. Now, after eons of isolation, the fallen angels have been forgiven and Earth’s connection with the Multiverse is being restored, initiating a massive transformation of consciousness as we reconnect with angelic guides, extraterrestrial beings, and our spiritual heritage as sacred vessels for God’s presence.
Providing an update to The Urantia Book through angelic transmissions he has received and remarkable spirits he has met, Timothy Wyllie investigates the underlying motives of the angelic rebellion and the impact it has had on our planet for the past 200,000 years. Offering a profoundly optimistic vision of the future and reassurance that the coming spiritual transition will be gentle, Timothy Wyllie describes his encounters with angels, ETs, and other enlightened beings around the world, including how he made contact with his own guardian angels, met the man who may have been Grand Master of the Prieure de Zion, fell in love with a beautiful Cathar reincarnate in Provence, and officiated at the 1981 Conference in Spirit inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. He explores different planetary cosmologies, authentic extraterrestrial intelligence, entheogenic revelations, and the spiritual implications of the Holographic Paradigm, weaving together a coherent and provocative understanding of the current state of our planet within the larger context of a benevolent and caring Multiverse.
When I borrowed this book, I had no intention of actually reading it all the way through. I had wanted to read something that offered a perspective on life that I hadn't previously considered and might give me ideas of original ways that the world might look in fifty years for my own writing. So I began this book as a cynic, planning on skim reading the chapters that interest me, but after the first few pages, I became hooked. Firstly, this was not unfamiliar territory - although I have never heard of the mid-wayers or the idea that angels actually interact with aliens, the other stuff was reflective of my own personal spiritual journey. Not to mention, Wyllie has an easy and interesting voice to read. As a traveller myself, I enjoyed reading about his travels to places I've been and places I have always wanted to visit. The way places such as Glastonbury Tor touched him were similar to the way I have felt in other places - I just didn't go there with the idea of meeting like-minded people - my journey was always as an individual.
I have to confess though that while much of this book was familiar to me, much of it was kind of crazy pants. But I figure, I'm allowed to think that, based on Wyllie's own behaviour. There are 3 times in this book, where Wyllie meets someone, disparages them as a person, takes the ideas that align with his own and makes excuses to disregard anything that doesn't fit with his world view. So with the exception of saying things about Wyllie's character, I figure I can do the same. I will take the good things from this book - the idea of an indwelling god, spirituality being more essential that religion and I'll even consider that maybe the Lucifer rebellion did happen and that mid-wayers and angels exist and can in some ways effect people's lives... Well at least in as far as I can make some good stories about it. But then, I am able to disregard the stuff that simply doesn't ring true. Firstly, anything that requires you to alter your state of consciousness to the point where your senses are no-longer reliable has to be taken with skepticism. I don't believe that drugs are required to open your mind - if it is possible to actually experience God, mid-wayers and angels, then it should happen without enthogens - and yes, I read the whole chapter about how enthogens are demonised and misunderstood - I just don't understand why you would need them. There's something about needing external supplements that makes the experiences derived from them to be unreliable.
Secondly, the idea that the world is the third most horrid and that Earth is a cesspool because we are in quarantine as a punishment for the rebel angels is simply not my experience of Earth. This planet is magnificent. I find it hard to believe that there is much better out there. I get that there is suffering here and I don't want to belittle people's pain, but it is the variety of experiences here from the sublime to the horrifying that makes the human life amazing. Like most other major religions, Wyllie looks to the next world as a better one. But it is this world that is the better one already. He talks about us evolving to the perfect, but I haven't wanted to be perfect for a long time (it sounds excessively boring really) - which is perhaps why I have become less spiritual as I have aged, because I think on an individual level we don't need to be altered (on a global level it is an entirely different ball game and there are going to be major changes if the rise of mass hatred that is driving extreme behaviour isn't alleviated and climate change isn't addressed etc - but the world itself and the minds we were born with offer us every opportunity).
I am sure there are many other things I could mention from this book, both good and bad. It has inspired me to meditate again, and I have considered spiritual matters for the first time in almost a decade, but it really has some ideas that would take faith in Wyllie as a man (angel?) to believe. I must admit, the final point in the book is the most illogical of them all and smacks of the fortune teller who is convinced she was Cleopatra in a past life - and that is the idea that angels are reincarnated humans.
The (simplified) theory is: Lucifer was jealous that humans had an indwelling god and could contact that element of God at anytime and evolve through to the next dimension whereas angels did not, which was one of the reasons he rebelled (which doesn't ring true either), so as punishment he and the other angels are put into human bodies to be reincarnated over and over, each time with the indwelling god, and that anyone who remembers their past lives is actually one of these reincarnated angels - and since he can remember his past lives he must be... An angel. Why would you punish them by giving them what they wanted and then as angels and being more 'aware' of God and life's mysteries, why didn't they evolve past human bodies in their first couple of incarnations. Wait, I'm imaginative, I can work that into a bad story - it might teach them a lesson... But hang on, didn't he try to intervene on the midwayers behalf as a human voice - surely that wouldn't be fair for one of the rebel angles to intervene... And isn't this about the angels returning...? But if they're incarnated into human bodies, then aren't they already here? They returned thousands of years ago... And if it's only the angels having these experiences (as Wyllie indicated that anyone who was on the road to enlightenment was like him in this) that seems that human humans don't have a chance anyway, so what were the angels angry about in the first place...? So many holes.
Even with wading through some unique ideas (seriously, indigo and rainbow children...? If you'd spent serious time with kids you'd know that for the detrimental raising of over-indulged and entitled children that it is) this was an engaging and interesting read that made me think and reflect on things I enjoy thinking about. The last thing I would suggest to Wyllie though, if he ever publishes a second edition is that he finds alternative sources to Wikipedia to define things and back up his ideas and to thoroughly research the things that he takes for granted as being true - an example of this being the hieroglyphs in Egypt that are supposed to be space ships and submarines which are actually digitally enhanced to look like that and the real things can't be seen clearly enough to decide one way or another, and yet he takes this as a given. A long read, but worth it.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It’s a tedious read. Not as tedious as reading ‘Urantia’ which all his rebel books are apparently about. Mostly about being inside Timothy’s mind and considering his self declared usage of entheogens it’s a weird ride. This one is not of much value - however will be giving this author another chance by reading his “confessions of a rebel angel”. If that’s a dud also then I will give up on him...
