Icke constantly restates his biography in his books, so the broad outline of the narrative presented here won't be new.
Two things are significant here, however. The first is his account of a stressful visit to Jerusalem; a certain bitterness enters the writing here, and it's unsurprising that in subsequent books Icke would become viciously critical of organised religion in general, and of the religions which value Jerusalem highly in particular. (He would reserve special bile for Israel, and in some books would go so far as to launch into specific attacks on specific historic Jewish sects; though people trying to defend him from charges of antisemitism will point out that he's also been critical of Christianity and Islam in the past, it's possible to be an antisemite and an Islamophobe and anti-Christian to boot.)
The other big story here is how Icke uses the book to launch a broadside against Mari Shawsun, a former partner of his and a medium whose work formed most of the basis of his previous book, Love Changes Everything. It's an uncomfortable public excommunication which suggests that whatever's going on with Icke might have more to do with his personal life and less to do with the state of the cosmos than he likes people to think.
