Update 2016: I read this book when I was in the valley of being atheist and religious. Knowing what I do know, especially about the esoteric New Age movement I would advise people to take this with a grain of salt. This book makes wild and very poor supported claims, lots of pseudo science and misinformation.
Original Review Summer, 2014: This is a tricky book, of which I have yet to finish. My main purpose of reading this was simply to learn more about sacred geometry, the Mer-Ka-Ba, and Kundalini meditation in a very subjective, informational, and historical point of view. I wasn't completely satisfied, I guess I shouldn't write a review out too early, but this time I will.
I have very good reason to believe this man is crazy. In his book he openly confessed he dropped out of college, moved into the mountains and spent a lot of time by himself, meditating and having visions.
This book requires a certain amount of skill to skew through a LOT of bullshit to get the messages and concepts. At the first chapter, in a section titled "A High Inclusive Reality", he wrote about a woman named Mary Ann Schinfield, and when I googled her, no one existed with this name, and the only person who supposedly knows about her is the Author, in this book. From that point on, it was incredible hard for me to continue reading this book with openness and receptiveness, when I understood that the author had openly lied to me just (literally) seven pages into the book....
If you are blinded by inaccuracies, overzealousness, unsophisticated word-choice, and many exclamation marks, to at least accept a concept or two, then this isn't your read. Throughout the little I've read, I was cringing with his bold claims, bad sentence structures, and inaccuracies. For instance in the book, when describing the birth and death of stars he said (quote):
"They start out as hydrogen suns...[there is no such thing as a hydrogen sun]... At the end of its life, as far as we know, there are two primary things a star can do… One it can explode and become a supernova, a huge hydrogen cloud that becomes the womb for hundreds of new baby stars. Two, it can rapidly expand into what’s called a red giant, a huge explosion that engulfs all its planets—burns them up and destroys the whole system, then stays expanded for a long time. Then slowly it will collapse into a tiny old star called white dwarf”
When a star dies they will either explode in a violent supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole. Or they will swell into red gaseous giants, eventually shedding their outer layers into a ring known as a planetary nebula (early observers thought the nebulae resembled planets such as Neptune and Uranus). The >>core<< that is left behind will be a white dwarf, a husk of a star in which no hydrogen fusion occurs.
I think the author is definitely on to something when he writes that civilization is older than we think, we have powers that are beyond our memory and we might have been more advanced back then than what we give ourselves credit, but the mention of UFO and weird visions from an Egyptian god, makes it impossible for me to take his self-made theories seriously.
Nevertheless, my best advice is for any soul out there making a spiritual-journey is to read this book cautiously: do not dismiss everything, at the same time do not accept everything. The wisdom from madmen is tricky to grasp from.
And lastly, if you’re finding yourself in the same logical pickle I’m finding myself in, remember this: the most brilliant mathematic scientific and philosophical concepts, were reborn from the minds of crazy people: Gregor Mendel with genetics, George Zweig with Quark Theory, Ernest Rutherford with the nucleus of an atom, Beethoven and his music, just to name a few. Most of these men were considered crazy stupid pseudo-scientists, rejected by the scientific community. They spent a lot of time talking/being with themselves, and even came up with crazy explanations of how they discovered their work. Some, like Pythagoras, said he discovered pythagorean theorem by the gods and he had killed hundreds of oxen to celebrate his findings. Gregor Mendel flunked out of school and eventually dropped out of school to become a missionary, but said his scientific discoveries (that were centuries ahead of his time) were given to him by mystical angels and Jesus Christ. Giordano Bruno explained to scholars and the scientific consensus that other planetary systems existed, by preaching about his weird psychedelic visions and dreams of traveling through space and time, and seeing solar systems and other stars. The list goes on.
