This is so far out of the box it's hard to get past the first few pages. Only for advanced seekers who have already dispelled many of the fundamental falsehoods being propagated in the world today. This profound information will transform your body and mind, unifying your soul into something much greater than you could have ever imagined.

Just lately I've finished reading "Man's Higher Consciousness" by professor Hilton Hotema. The book is probably the most famous among 24 published major works of the mysterious American researcher and naturopath – the anonymous author who devoted his life to unveiling of the inquisitive ancient secrets of longevity; forgotten knowledge about the nourishment coming directly of the energy from a cosmic radiation; spiritual development of modern man and his life in harmony with the requirements of cosmic laws.
It is believed that there exists a spiritual Intelligence, operating at a level far above the human one, that everyone can access through harmonious connection, by the trillions of cells present in the human body. Several people throughout the history have successfully connected with this Cosmic Reservoir of Intelligence. As a result, they have achieved astonishing longevity and gained access to miraculous and untapped powers that humans once possessed, although they have lost them to their harmful habits and polluted environment.
The information contained within this course has been supposedly discovered by the author among the remains of ancient wisdom lost within the darkness of history. Properly utilized, it allows for a conscious, intuitive and logical, understanding of the individual and collective consciousness-related state of health and mind, represented by the human beings of modern civilization.
As a result, the ancient wisdom contained within „Man's Higher Consciousness” enables us to return to the innate human ability of living long lives in harmony with cosmic laws. This is gained by achieving the coherence of heart and mind, which leads towards reconnection with the higher, Cosmic Intelligence or Consciousness.
This book presents theoretical conclusions as well as scientific statistics, and gives examples of some practical use of ancient techniques for regeneration of cells and gaining access to this higher Consciousness. It is at one time a fascinating course, a reportage, and a manual on many alternative health practices – a special kind of reading that can contribute to the reader's discovery of their own personal methods for gaining longer life and higher consciousness.
I am the author of the translation, proofreading, footnotes' editing and typesetting of the first Polish edition of the book "Man's Higher Consciousness" by professor Hilton Hotema.

This book will question your belief system, will change the way you look at the world, will redefine evolution and health at the same time, and will make you think about things you took for granted. Must read.

The author discusses a very radical and controversial idea: that the original Human Beings didn’t need food or water to sustain life and grow; they lived on Breathing only (Breatharians).
This idea is not new, and was adapted by many ancient belief systems and civilizations before. It is believed that the human being can reach a Higher Conscious state where he can sustain life through the Breath only (Prana/Energy).
The author claims that the process (of falling from Breatharianism to Carnivorism) is reversible, but almost impossible to be done while living in modern civilization (because everything is poisoned; from food to water to air).
He heavily advocates for Fasting and its importance, which might seem basic knowledge nowadays; but this book was published in 1952, when people had different mentalities.
There is so much redundancy and repeated random examples, in the aim of convincing the reader of such belief. “Some random John Doe, from a random city, lived up to 120 years old, living on liquid diet only”, without any reference or real proof.
Also, the author believes that the original humans didn’t evolve on Earth, but aliens who came from other galaxies/realms. If that’s your cup of tea, then you will love this book.

The thing is. There will be 2 types of readers for this book. The ones who knows about the laws and have at least heard about the caibalion, those will benefit deeply and imensely with this book and will love it. (🙋🏾♀️)
On the other side there are the readers who are not familiar with the caibalion, they stucked on the third dimension, they only understand what their eyes can see. They only believe in what the 5 senses show them and they treat the modern science as the matrix source of knowledge. These readers wont like and comprehend this book.

Man's Higher Consciousness by Hilton Hotema presents a profound exploration into the depths of human potential and consciousness. This book delves into the realms of metaphysics, spirituality, and the untapped powers of the human mind, challenging conventional beliefs and encouraging readers to expand their perception of reality. Through Hotema's insightful narrative, he invites readers to question the limitations imposed by societal norms and to seek a higher state of consciousness that transcends the ordinary.
One of the reasons this book earns a 5 out of 5 star rating is Hotema's ability to blend complex esoteric concepts with accessible language. The author systematically breaks down intricate ideas, making them comprehensible to both novices and those well-versed in spiritual studies. His writing is both engaging and thought-provoking, often leaving the reader contemplating long after they have put the book down. Hotema's mastery in articulating profound wisdom in a digestible manner significantly enhances the reading experience.
Additionally, Hotema's exploration of the human body as a vessel for spiritual evolution is remarkably enlightening. He delves into the physiological and metaphysical aspects, suggesting that our physical form holds the keys to unlocking higher states of awareness. This perspective encourages readers to view their bodies not just as mere biological machines, but as integral components in the quest towards higher consciousness. Such insights provide a holistic approach to understanding one's existence and elevate the book beyond mere philosophical discourse.
Another aspect that merits high praise is the breadth and depth of research evident throughout the text. Hotema draws from a wide array of disciplines including ancient wiseness, modern science, and esoteric traditions, weaving them seamlessly to support his arguments. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches the content but also lends credibility to his perspectives. Readers are thus treated to a well-rounded and thoroughly researched exploration of human consciousness that is both informative and inspiring.
Finally, Man's Higher Consciousness stands out for its ability to inspire personal growth and spiritual awakening. Hotema's words serve as a catalyst for introspection and self-discovery, urging readers to embark on their own paths towards higher awareness. The book is a treasure trove of knowledge that offers practical advice, spiritual guidance, and profound wiseness, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to elevate their consciousness. For these reasons, it deserves a perfect rating and a place on the bookshelf of every seeker of truth.

"Man's Higher Consciousness" by Hilton Hotema delves into the profound realms of human spirituality and the untapped potential of the mind. The book explores ancient teachings and philosophies that hint at a greater plane of existence waiting to be realized once individuals unlock their higher consciousness. Hotema guides readers through various concepts, such as the importance of breath, consuming foods in its natural state, and mental discipline, in achieving a state of elevated awareness and spiritual enlightenment.
Throughout the book, Hotema emphasizes the significance of understanding the human body's capabilities and the power of the mind. He presents arguments suggesting that humanity is capable of far more than modern society realizes or practices. By delving into historical texts and esoteric knowledge, Hotema provides a comprehensive look at how our ancestors may have possessed insights into maintaining health and mental clarity that we have since forgotten.
One of the notable aspects of "Man's Higher Consciousness" is Hotema's skillful integration of science, religion, and mysticism. He meticulously bridges the gap between these often seemingly disparate areas, suggesting that a harmonious understanding of all three can lead to profound personal transformation. The book is rich with references to various cultures and their practices, providing a holistic view of how different civilizations approached the quest for higher consciousness.
I gave this book a 5-star rating due to its depth and the inspiring nature of its content. Hotema's work is not just a theoretical discourse but a practical guide that encourages self-improvement and introspection. His insights are thought-provoking and challenge readers to reconsider their beliefs and the potential lying dormant within them.
In conclusion, "Man's Higher Consciousness" is a compelling and enlightening read for anyone interested in spirituality, personal growth, and the mysteries of the human mind. Hotema's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book a valuable resource for those seeking to unlock their highest potential and embark on a quest of spiritual awakening.

A MUST READ for Everyone Interested in Longevity
Highly recommend reading this book. There’s so much important information in it, much that has been withheld from the masses in the past. It’s time for these understandings to come to Light. I know what it is like to do extended Fasts, I have fasted with water, green juices, or the Master Cleanse multiple times in varying durations, including 3, 7, 14, 21, 35, 49, 58, and 61 days over the years. In all cases, feeling NO hunger. With practise we get to recognize that we mistake Desires for taste, texture, and comfort, for hunger. If we think of food, it stimulates digestive juices which can irritate the stomach and we mistake as hunger. We mistake the detox of poisons into our bloodstream, which make us feel tired or unwell, as hunger. It is only temporary. We mistake feeling light headed for hunger due to blood sugars. If we are in ketosis beforehand, using fat as fuel, this does not happen.
Blessings to all! May you discover the divinity within you.

The topic is certainly "out there" and it got me interested at first. It makes you rethink certain scientific laws. However, it's very repeatitive and there's too much criticism. I would have liked to know more of his vision of what could be and some tools of how to achieve it.

A lot of data. Well worth the read. The author challenges modern thinking even though the book was written decades ago.
