Origins of the Gods: Qesem Cave, Skinwalkers, and Contact with Transdimensional Intelligences

by Andrew Collins, Gregory L. Little, Erich von Däniken (Foreword)

• Explores how our ancestors used shamanic rituals at sacred sites to create portals for communication with nonhuman intelligences • Shares supporting evidence from the spiritual and shamanic beliefs of more than 100 Native American tribes • Shows how the earliest forms of shamanism began at sites like Qesem Cave in Israel more than 400,000 years ago From Göbekli Tepe in Turkey to the Egyptian pyramids, from the stone circles of Europe to the mound complexes of the Americas, Andrew Collins and Gregory L. Little show how, again and again, our ancestors built permanent sites of ceremonial activity where geomagnetic and gravitational anomalies have been recorded. They investigate how the earliest forms of animism and shamanism began at sites like the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia and Qesem Cave in Israel more than 400,000 years ago. They explain how shamanic rituals and altered states of consciousness combine with the natural forces of the earth to create portals for contact with otherworldly realms—in other words, the gods of our ancestors were the result of an interaction between human consciousness and transdimensional intelligence. The authors show how the spiritual and shamanic beliefs of more than 100 Native American tribes align with their theory, and they reveal how some of these shamanic transdimensional portals are still active, sharing vivid examples from Skinwalker Ranch in Utah and Bempton in northern England. Ultimately, Collins and Little show how our modern disconnection from nature and lack of a fully visible night sky makes the manifestations from these ultraterrestrial intelligences seem random. If we can restore our spiritual connections, perhaps we can once again communicate with the higher dimensional beings who triggered the advancements of our earliest ancestors.

UFOs aren’t extraterrestrials, they are n-dimensional plasmoids that have been with our species on this planet from the beginning — and re-interpreting religion in this light is the way to proceed to a fuller knowledge of ourselves and our cosmos. We can, apparently, communicate with these ‘gods.’

That's the basic thesis. A lot of archeology and lore and speculation and even hard science goes into this mix. It is an impressive paradigm that may be familiar to readers of science fiction’s backwaters, starting as far back as Eric Frank Russell’s Sinister Barrier.

Towards the very end of the book, Andrew Collins (who wrote the second half of this volume: the collaborators’ contributions are discrete) speculates on the comparative reliability of Samaritan biblical accounts over the Judean (Jewish), especially as regards the Ark of the Covenant, which the Samaritans say was hidden in a cave in Mount Gerizim, the significance of which the Judean priests lied about in their political break with the ten tribes.

I find this especially interesting (if almost trivial compared to the rest of the book) because of my fascination with the Great Samaritan Blank-out, in which Jews and gentiles both ignore the lingering group of fundamentalist henotheists. Collins wonders what happened to that Ark, and wonders if it is still in Mt. Gerizim. But he does not consult Josephus, in which Pontius Pilate routs a pilgrimage to said mountain by a man who claims to know the ancient treasure there, executes some leaders and disperses the crowd. Josephus passes this “tumult” by with no mention of the leader’s name or even if the leader was crucified in Roman fashion, or, instead, escaped. Later, the Samaritans complained to Rome, and Pontius Pilate was recalled! (A fascinating bit of history no one talks about in all the yammering about Pilate.) But it was an attempt, recorded in “history” (give Josephus his due), to find (let us read between the lines, so to speak) the Ark of the Covenant.

Why did Josephus mention this pilgrimage, but so obliquely? I suspect that it was important. What if the Ark had been found? What if the unnamed prophet actually secured his goal? And what if (this is the game we are playing when reading books such as Little and Collins’ second joint effort) one half the content of the Ark became the booty of first the Edessan (Abgarus and Izas “Jesus” Manu) and then the Emessan monarchs, and eventually found its way to Rome as the Elagabalus stone? Only from there to disappear. (I assume it lies in the library under the Vatican, a secret the pontiff doesn’t want Christians to know.)

As long as we are shooting wild, I thought I would offer something in that vein. The n-dimensional Being of the Holy Mountain still keeps His mysteries tight to His . . . chest?

The exact opposite of the previous book. I expected to enjoy it but with big-time reservations—a healthy dose of skepticism, if you ask me. Anyway, I wasn’t planning to be so mind-blown.

The first part by Little is about North Native Americans’ relationship with the phenomenon—not just UAPs in particular but with them as a part of their spiritual world. While interesting, it should have been a preface to the core, which is clearly the second part.

In it, Collins shifts focus to fascinating research on the Qesem Cave in Israel, the ancestors of Homo sapiens, and the birth of shamanism 400,000 years ago, with a little bit of biblical exegesis. He then moves on to the latest on quantum entanglement, extradimensional geometry, and retrocausality.

The common thread tying everything together is plasmoids—the idea that UAPs are plasma/EMF displays. The concept suggests that these natural lights, which somehow react to observers and appear to possess a form of intelligence and consciousness, are behind the Shekinah and thus connect Qesem to the Bible.

The author speculates about the dimensionality of the phenomenon and its apparent ability to transcend time—a place where shamans dressed as wolves 10,000 years ago intersect with modern reports of werewolves. Ripples through time in the local unconscious, at the very least. Fascinating either way.

I also find the concept of YHVH appearing as an electromagnetic form fascinating, as it aligns perfectly with PKD’s divine interference—God interrupting radio signals.

Andrew Collins and Gregory Little touch upon many interesting ideas in this book — I just wished they explored some of them in more detail.

The quantum physics deep-dive explaining how multidimensional beings are able to influence human behavior and take fantastical/religious forms as werewolves or the Virgin Mary or as gods/God was absolutely fascinating. I just wished they began exploring this idea much earlier in the book and expand upon the theories of quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling and how Plasma environments act as wormhole generators.

Overall Origins of the Gods is a wonderful, mind-expanding read that introduces a plethora of challenging ideas that’ll satisfy any curious reader.

“We need to wake up to the possibility that what has guided humanity since the beginning need not be looked for out there, in space. It is already here, on Earth, where contact with the Outside, contact with Other, begins.”

[Sandrine]

Quite an interesting point of view accompanied by ancient as well as recent scientific knowledge. I share the authors’ opinions that we have yet to explore so much of what is right in front (the now), beside (the ocean), around us (the other dimension(s)) and most certainly what is in us. Though as that what is in us is so entirely subjective to one’s own feelings and experiences only communicable via very often inadequate use of media such as language/words/utterances it will remain a long and arduous adventure… and yet a fun ride!

[Christine Best]

This is a wide ranging book which courageously sets out to connect human spiritual experience with understandable physical phenomena. In doing so it posits some very interesting ideas. The authors suggest that atmospheric plasmas produced by natural processes could provide a means by which extradimensional entities could acquire agency within our universe. The book is not too technical a read and has a lot to recommend it even to the sceptic.

[Stefanie Dettmers]

This should be required reading for archeologists. There can be no science without spirituality. Collins demonstrates impressively how disciplines can interlink to form the bigger picture. If we could just all open our minds and consider possibilities like universal consciousness and multidimensionality. Limiting is to what we're taught at uni is not getting us anywhere, especially when it comes to our most ancient archeological finds.

[Michael Wells]

This is a quite comprehensive book. The author explores various spiritual origins, including those of the Native Americans, Jewish beliefs, and many others. I found the theories particularly intriguing, especially regarding the Jewish faith and what might have truly occurred. The book also delves into UFOs and the truths that may lie therein. I recommend this book to all readers.

[Max Kondziolka]

Excellent follow up to Denisovan Origins.
Very well researched.
