Gateways to the Otherworld: The Secrets Beyond the Final Journey, from the Egyptian Underworld to the Gates in the Sky [Paperback]

Philip Gardiner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2007

Is there life after death? Is there a world outside our own?

Mankind has wrestled with these profound questions for as long as there has been consciouness. Gateways to the Otherworld reveals that ancient man already knew the answers.

Acclaimed author Philip Gardiner proves that our ancestors were far more advanced--scientifically and spiritually--than previously believed. Through a special technique, ancient Egyptians and others were able to journey to other realities within themselves--in short, to the Otherworld. The author undergoes his own experiments to prove the point.

Gardiner makes us consider the fact that ancient man also knew more about his place in the universe than previously thought. He placed buildings and objects in specific places around the globe. Why? Because at these points he had discovered areas where lines of energy cross--points with distinct relation to the universal and human wave resonance of electromagnetism. When man journeyed to these places, he was joining with God and visualising the effect.

The remarkable conclusions and discoveries in this book not only dispel some age-old myths, but also address questions such as:

* Is there a universal frequency that allows the mind to travel into other realms?

* How does this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement?

* Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm?

* What are those mysterious round towers found scattered around our planet?

* Is there an answer to the phenomena of earth energies?

* What is the truth behind the Crystal Skulls and the rods of power?

* Is ESP real?

What Gateways to the Otherworld uncovers are not just tales of ancient trips to other realms, nor theories on why stone circles were built in specific locations, but real answers based on thorough research and science.

This review is from: Gateways to the Otherworld: The Secrets Beyond the Final Journey, from the Egyptian Underworld to the Gates in the Sky (Paperback)

We've all wondered if there really is life after death. We've all wondered if there is life that we can't see, souls among us that are not visible to our eyes but felt in our heart.

This book examines these and other subjects. It examines ESP. It looks at the Pryamids. But what I found most fascinating was that the book makes the argument that ancient man was much more aware and attuned to the world than we heretofore believed. They knew "their place in the universe."

The book looks into many mysterious issues that people from the beginning have wondered about.

The book is easy to read and well structured. It provides what could be considered a good deal of evidence.

Whether you end out believing or not, this book is well worth reading.

Highly recommended.

This review is from: Gateways to the Otherworld: The Secrets Beyond the Final Journey, from the Egyptian Underworld to the Gates in the Sky (Paperback)

Philip Gardiner takes the reader on an adventurous and exciting journey which includes ancient cultures, pagan religions, monuments, and ceremonies. He also explores Judaic and Christian religious symbols and stories, Masonic symbols and architecture, quantum energy systems and even bineural brain wave pattern training - all to scientifically search for what constitutes a mystical, other-worldly experience. The author takes a scientific look at ancient and modern human attempts to connect to the mystical realm. Or perhaps more accurately to explore Reality and Life as we know it on a deeper level. He avoids New Age references and also distances himself from any religious belief systems or dogmas. It is a non-biased approach to finding out how ancient and modern mankind connects to the mysteries of the esoteric world. The author uses down to earth understandable language to explain many deep and complex subjects which makes this a very satisfying book to read.

The reader discovers that ancient civilizations, Shamans from cultures around the world who had no contact with each other whatsoever, all used similar symbols, forms, and devices to describe a common experience. In some cases, herbs, drugs, or snake venom was ingested to arrive at this "other realm, an understanding of energy systems, a connection to something believed to be a Higher Realm. Breathing techniques were another means of achieving this experience. The author points out, the ancients who preceded us had a better understanding of the great cycles of life which modern man has only recently discovered. Ancient mankind worked with the electromagnetism of the earth and certain cycles of nature, it took many thousands of years to map and track the stars and measure the effects of time and energy ...History, myths, and legends remind us of customs and knowledge possessed by shamans and religious practicioners which survived into modern times. The author explores Sumerian myths, Celtic traditions, the Hindu gods and godesses, Egyptian religous symbols, the Minoan cultural beliefs, Christian symbols and architecture, Judaic stories, and finds unique connections.

Of particular interest was the chapter on towers and pyramids. It turns out the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually used as a "gateway to other worlds" which means the Egyptians had ceremonies where energy converged within the pyramid based on scientific principles, some of which are quantum in nature. There is a connection between the pyramids and altered states of consciousness which the author describes. Another fascinating discussion is about how rocks, stones, and even the soil can act as an antenna to collect magnetic energy waves. Ancient towers were built as "earth antennas" to generage electromagnetic energy. Another enlightening discovery was the sound frequency of the earth, which is F sharp. Amazingly, Dr. David Deamer a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California in 1988 researched the vibrational frequency of four base DNA molecules. Essentially, he found that F sharp was found present three times in each base collection. So human DNA is harmonically tuned to that of the earth! Another fascinating concept is how human beings are tuned into the stars. Electromagnetic waves surround us and there is an interplay and exchange of energies ... The author makes some startling conclusions and jaw-dropping connections. Overall, this is a highly recommended book to read based on genuine scientific discoveries which connect us to ancient practices in ways unimaginable. Erika Borsos [pepper flower]

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating read, February 12, 2008

This review is from: Gateways to the Otherworld: The Secrets Beyond the Final Journey, from the Egyptian Underworld to the Gates in the Sky (Paperback)

I was very impressed with Phili Gardiner's, "Gateways to the Otherworld". It made me think about things in a new light. In the book, Philip addresses issues that mankind has pondered forever. He explains how the ancient Egytians and others were able to travel to the "Otherworld" and he answers questions such as: 1. Is ESP real? 2. Is there a universal frequency that allows the mind to travel to other realms. 3. Does the Great Pyramid hold a secret to the quantum realm? 4. What are those mysterious round towers found scattered around our planet? He covers how we are no longer in harmony with the earth, what happens after death and more.

The 263 page, softcover book includes black and white (often grainy) photographs of sites and people referred to in the book, including stone altars in Malta, the obelisk in Rome, the author undergoing brain balancing etc.

The book flows easily, with the author leading the reader from one conclusion to another. The only jolt was when the author mentions how he was drinking orange juice when he was thinking about something...other than that the flow was smooth. However, it is not an easy read. I personally do not have a full grasp on quantum physics and much of what he discussed from votexes to the resonance of the earth and more was difficult for me to understand. It will help if the reader has had some background in these areas. If not several readings of the book may be needed to fully grasp the concepts.

Overall a very eye opening and fascinationg read!
