The Road Map: Escaping the Maze of Madness

Rate this book
David Icke’s 1998 book The Biggest Secret was dubbed the Rosetta Stone of conspiracy research for connecting the dots that allowed a much bigger picture to be seen. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, revealed the language codes that allowed Egyptian hieroglyphics to be understood.

Now, The Road Map presents a massive extension and expansion with the benefit of a further three decades of full-time research. The depth and breadth of this book is astonishing as it reveals both the interdimensional panorama of the conspiracy for human control, and how we can break those chains to walk the road to freedom.

Ever more people are looking at the Maze of Madness called ‘human life’ and asking the BIG What is it all about? Who are we? Where are we? Why is the world as it is?BIG questions lead to BIG answers and David Icke has been asking them for much of his life and especially since his gigantic awakening after 1990. The Road Map is the latest instalment in his incredible journey to first expose the Maze and then the way out.

Only a relative handful could see the conspiracy for human enslavement when Icke began as a figure of public ridicule, but now the mist is clearing for phenomenal numbers of people who see that the world is nothing like they have been led all their lives to believe that it is.But how does it all fit together? Why? To what end? The Road Map provides the answers and, for this reason, has to be among the most important and reality-transforming books ever written.

Of all the information and "personal opinion" that the author brings us. A small part, or a fraction of that small part, if it comes true or proves to be correct, we're screwed.
Here we have revelations, connections and opinions that should be common knowledge because David wrote to inform and expose aspects of everyday life that affect us daily in many ways.
I find it difficult to accept and agree with much of what I have read. Especially the author's personal opinion. But, making a connection with other sources of information, many of the issues he reported are correct and his opinion is validated.
I want to believe that this will no longer happen in my lifetime. But the worst thing is that this time is now. David anticipated my discomfort and wrote a chapter about it, in an attempt to “soften” any discomfort that this information might cause.

[…] I have quoted many times the words attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. There are various forms of what he is claimed to have said such as ‘wisdom is knowing how little we know’ and ‘To know is to know you know nothing’.
Another is: ‘I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.’ Given that we are in a reality specifically designed to maintain ignorance this is a very good place to start. It means we retain the essential humility that whatever we think we know there is always more to know.
This is the perception that keeps you out of the eddy. You are aware that any eddy is the illusion of knowing all we need to know. ‘I’ve got it now’ means you haven’t. You may have some of it, but there’s "always" more to know. Always.
Physicist Werner Heisenberg said: ‘Only a few know, how much one must know to know how little one knows.‘ This book extends across a huge spectrum and yet there will be far, far, more to become aware of as our minds open and explore ever deeper in the infinity of awareness. 
Psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist, who has studied the left-brain’s desperation for certainty, said:
I would also like to get in a word for uncertainty. In the field of religion there are dogmatists of no-faith as there are of faith, and both seem to me closer to one another than those who try to keep the door open to the possibility of something beyond the customary ways in which we think, but which we would have to find, painstakingly, for ourselves.
Certainty is the greatest of all illusions: whatever kind of fundamentalism it may underwrite, that of religion or science, it is what the ancients meant by hubris. The only certainty, it seems to me, is that those who believe they are certainly right are certainly wrong. […]

Not everything David Icke says is credible, but a lot of it has “substance” if we dedicate ourselves to connecting the dots. Keeping an open mind helps us select what truly matters. Increasingly closer to the theories of John Keel and Jacques Vallée.

David Icke does it again, delivering his signature mind-blowing perspectives and deeply thought-provoking insights. I'm thrilled to see him return to form with this massive tome which is around 600 pages, reminiscent of his classic works. The Road Map weaves decades of meticulous research and writing into a single, explosive tapestry, offering a stunning bird's-eye view of the world we're living through. Icke has always pushed beyond the cutting edge, fearlessly exploring the fringes of controversy. It's precisely this boldness that sets him apart from others in alternative research and esoterica. The Road Map serves as a definitive guide, exposing the strategic plot, plan, and CONSPIRACY unfolding right before our eyes while simultaneously providing a powerful alternative to a path of confronting the collective shadow humanity has long ignored. Icke's core message remains unchanged and consistent - revealing our innate power and the unifying force of unconditional love. This book is more than a warning it's a Road Map infused with wisdom and compassionate urgency, urging us toward awakening and action.

Humanity get off your knees.

Bow down to your demonic reptile overlords !!!

This book is a chronicle of conspiracy, Illuminati, new world order themes.

This panic is known as “satanic panic”

If the Illuminati run the world it’s not such a bad thing I’ve come to accept that.

My only question is where do I join ?

Hail Satan

While it is amusing to imagine that Lizard People control Earth, it is maddening to read in chapter 10 about the "ultra Zionists" (as Icke repeats the phrase at least a dozen times). I was disgusted by his obvious hatred for Israel and quit reading after chapter 11.
A long book is not necessarily a good book.
