Can You Stand The Truth?: The Chronicle of Man's Imprisonment: Last Call!
Parts of THE TRUTH are found fragmented in every viewpoint, religion, aspect, and human ideology. But not a single one of the above can give us the complete picture of IT. As an example, we can take Newton’s spinning-disk experiment and the deflection of (white) light into the seven colors of the rainbow. WHITE LIGHT –which contains all colors– is like the ONE TRUTH, which, like a magic picture, lies in front of everyone's eyes. Man, remaining firmly ATTACHED to his personal view (color) cannot compose all colors - aspects - viewpoints and gaze at the ‘White’ color of the TRUTH. If he can position himself however at a specific “place/point” he will be able TO SEE. Then, everything gets decoded in front of his eyes like a hidden picture that suddenly appears. Who are right then? The evolutionists who believe in Darwin’s theory, or the Church when it claims that god created us? ...Both! Who is Those who believe in reincarnation or those who persistently reject it? ...Both! Who is Those who believe in man’s soul and spirit or those who don’t? ...Both! Who is The eye-witnesses of UFO’s or the scientific community that insists there is no intelligent life on other planets? ...Both! The contents of this book gradually move the reader through an ascending-spiral process, from a simple position to a complex one, so as to smoothly reposition him to a different dimension, wherefrom he can gaze at a very different world from what he has believed in up to now.

What an eye opener! the revealed information is enormous and connected like a puzzle without any missing pieces!
I highly recommend it to anyone who realizes the wrongs of this world but can't seem to find out why this is happening, to anyone that has an existential quest but cant seem to find a source that can satisfy this thirst!
A must read!!!

◇ [...]Η Αλήθεια που παραχωρείται σ’ αυτήν τη συνάντηση, είναι η «στολή», το «σκάφανδρο» διαφυγής. Μπορεί να παρομοιασθεί με το σωσίβιο που προσφέρεται σ’ όσους δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να μπουν σε μια βάρκα, όταν το πλοίο βουλιάζει. Επειδή η Αλήθεια που αφορά τον ρόλο του Ανθρώπου μέσα στην υλική δημιουργία, είναι η Επίγνωση που θα τον σώσει. Αν ο άνθρωπος δεν αντιληφθεί την σκληρή πραγματικότητα, θα παραμένει αδρανής.[...]
◇ [...]“Αυτός που με καταπίεζε θανατώθηκε, αυτός που με περικύκλωνε δεν υπάρχει πια (το υλικό σώμα). Η επιθυμία μου έχει λοιπόν ξεθυμάνει, έχω απαλλαγεί από την άγνοιά μου. Βγήκα από τον (υλικό) κόσμο χάρις σε έναν άλλο (Υπερ)κόσμο. Μια εικόνα σβήστηκε, προς χάριν μιας καλύτερης εικόνας. Εφ’ εξής βαδίζω στην Ανάπαυση εκεί όπου ο χρόνος αναπαύεται στην Αιωνιότητα του χρόνου».[...]

Gnosticism for the twenty first century.
The central ideas of Gnosticism are (broadly) that people are imprisoned in their bodies, and they have to escape from the evil overlords of this world and enter into purer heavenly forms or realms. Gnostics know this to be true because they have religious experiences or private revelations which convey secret information to them from the archons (or spiritual beings) that exist outside of our material reality.
One of the very basic questions which Gnosticism raises is why anyone should believe it. That question arises in relation to this book. The author cites an enormous range of ancient literature as spiritually authoritative, but why? Christianity rejected as fake, the documents which are here cited as authentic revelations, such as the gospel of Thomas (28%) and the gospel of Judas (70%). But how is the author, today, in a better position to know their authenticity, than Christians 1500 years ago, when Christianity rejected those documents? To press the point, how can the author know that the gospel of Judas is a ‘revealed text,’ (70%) as opposed to just an ancient text?
In the course of the book, a vast number of spiritual ideas, ancient texts, and conspiracy theories are cited and mixed together. A commitment to Karma (1%) and astral bodies (27%) is suggested, alongside an insistence on truths about such matters as that an ‘astral body… does not possess logic.’ (28%). We also hear about the Reptilian overlords that rule the earth (41%) and that humans are kept in ignorance (60%). The Templars crop up, with references to the earth also being hollow and containing another world (54%). The Mayas and their calendar prediction of the end of the world are cited (70%). And there are numberological analyses of Greek words, to reveal secrets (86%). Count Saint Germaine makes some appearances, alongside a prophecy that Pope Benedict XVI (ie the pope before Pope Francis) will be the last ever pope (87%).
And so on. Almost all the well known conspiracy theories and staples of the hidden secrets genre appears at some point in the book. But how does the author know that any of it is true? And perhaps more pertinently, how can readers know that they are reading real revelations about reality, rather than just a sophisticated regurgitation of personal opinions and conspiracy theories?
There are also tendentious interpretations of the bible. For example, Matthew 22 is quoted and the book tells us that its reference to wedding garments refer to a ‘higher noetic body’ that people will put on (29%). Really? That interpretation was rejected by mainstream Christianity more than 1500 years ago, when it rejected Gnosticism as a heresy. Why does the author now think that that interpretation of the bible is correct?
In other places the author effectively inserts words into the bible. For example, in John 12, 47 Jesus said that he has come to save the world. The author adds that Jesus is saving the world ‘from captivity.’ (41%). Once again the question arises, how can the author justify that interpretation of the bible as the correct one?
Even the secondary sources cited by the author raise questions. For example, Helena Blavatsky is mentioned (29%) but historians have queried and rejected many of her claims. David Icke is quoted (41%). But his claims are rejected as conspiracy theories by mainstream scholars. These kinds of authorities cannot just be cited, without also providing an argument to discount what their critics say about them.
Overall, this is not a book which I can recommend.

Very dark & depressing
Most of the religious information comes from Gnosticism. The book discusses a fallen (evil) creator is in control of our material physical world and that we are slaves in this world succumbing to constant death and rebirth unless we know the TRUTH in order to go to our true home with the ONE true God. The book is hard to follow with added text in boxes and the addition of a lot of terminology in Greek. I found it hard to follow and gave up reading it. It read like a doom and gloom book. The author also has a YouTube page and the videos as well are very dark in nature with not much hope more mankind.
