When I picked up this book I was at first put off by LaViolette's style of writing. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt by flipping ahead -- and I'm very glad I did. Because as I got more into it I began to realize what an amazing book this is. The author has broken the code -- by which I mean he has explained the deeper significance of the ancient Egyptian religion. In fact, this is the biggest breakthrough since Champollion decoded the Rosetta stone.

For this reason I'm very surprised this book has not received a lot more attention. It's a hidden gem. Prize it! This is an extremely valuable contribution to our understanding not just of the ancient world -- but much more -- allow me to explain.

LaViolette is a cutting edge physicist and he shows that the ancient Egyptian religion was all about advanced physics. It wasn't some crude form of paganism. The ancients had extremely sophisticated understanding of the nature of the cosmos. And the author does a fine job explaining this. The book is a fine companion to Thomas Brophy's book The Origin Map. It's now clear that everything we've been told about human history is wrong.

We don't have a clue where we came from -- but there is no longer any doubt that high civilizations did exist on planet earth in the distant past -- and we have very little knowledge of them.

What happened to them? Why did they disappear? LaViolette's book is a big step toward answering these questions.

This book had lots of potential. Unfortunately the author could not get past his training to use language and an approach which is more accessible and more concise.

Example: "It may be significant that Geb and Nut are separated by Shu, for X and Y ultimately separate into a discrepant state because of the deviation-amplifying tendency of the 'Shu-Tefnut' reaction loop.

The author is attempting to correlate recent findings in physics with classical mystical systems from Egypt, and with Astrology, and the Tarot. But the writing style is methodical and cold and unnecessarily wordy and redundant. It is encouraging that science is attempting to make connections back to reality expressed in mythology. However science is lost in that it continues to attempt to make the reconnection using on the brain and missing the activity of the heart and body.

What is largely unforgivable is that the author is stumbling around primary concepts of his thesis without clearly stating it. The largest blarring omission is an emphasis on archetypes. There are indeed archetypal connections between physics and myth but the author has failed to inspire insights and remains brain-bound to his training and equations.

If you are looking for deeper insights between science and Egypt then 'Serpent in the Sky' by John Anthony West remains one of the best books on the subject. 'Temple of the Cosmos' by Jeremy Naydler is also a good book on Egyptian mythology.

"Paul LaViolette is concise in dissecting experiential science and its inherently myopic view of what is acceptable fact. This closed view has cornered twentieth century scientific research into the enigma of proposing the big bang theory as the leading idea of how our universe evolves ("the chicken"), but with no plausible concept of what caused the bang to begin with ("the egg")! He explores post-quantum thought and introduces his "subquantum kinetics" theory to unite quantum and chaos theories into a working thesis that explains pre-big bang existence, while providing mythological research of ancient cultures to show that over 5,000 years ago those ancient cultures knew what we are only now discovering!"

Where to start? There is so much timely information within the pages of this book, you will feel your brain getting bigger by just flipping through the pages. In an easy to understand way, the author sets up the scenario of the way the Universe really came into being. It is provocative, soul stiring and will resonate with you in a very deep way. After you read this book, you will not look at so-called "modern science" in the same way ever again. Worth reading. Worth owning. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

The works by Mr. LaViolette are must reads for grounding discussions and scientific research. They give perspective and clarity to science throughout the world's ages like no other. It is difficult to adequately do justice in describing the depth and comprehensiveness of Mr. LaViolette's books. This volume gives us a meaningful discussion of the basic ebb and flow of scientific thinking in the creation of the cosmos through our worlds five ages. Mr. LaViolette lends his intelligence and enthusiasm to the idea of continuous creation being observed while other pretentious theories from Einstein and the Big Bang boys from Princeton have languished over the years.

I have been waiting for an effort like this since perusing Hermetic Kabbalah via Golden Dawn. Of course, man has a penchant for finding patterns everywhere. Mr. L being on the rigorous side provides enough detail to draw any and all into the theory however.

I'm only half way through so perhaps he addresses applications. As it is, I find it hard to imagine scientists crafting technologies based on these generalized principles. Or rather, they have already been doing it, without this specific schematic.

But I suppose it's all the same and simply depends which angle you are coming from... from Tao to the Pillars of Jachin and Boaz to fractalized Phi implosion to Rodin's coil and anti grav etc...

If you're into either tarot, astrology And aether physics you can make your purchase. If you staunchly adhere to the Western Mystery Tradition's meanings of the tarot and zodiac you may have a problem with this interpretation.

This approach, as the man says, is both novel and paradigm shattering. That is, the "paradigm" of long term suppression.

It appears to me, in this last decade or so, that much info suppressed by the elites has been coming out. That is, being rediscovered by we the people.

The one concern, at this time, is the amount of redundancy. This is an exact reflection, coincidentally, of the Golden Dawn's exposition of the Tree of Life. You start out and everything makes sense... as it's + <> - mainly.

As you move on to different cards or signs, you keep running into the exact same variables, dichotomy and exchange process. He even has several cards all sectioned under one process. This at least seems to be a bit sloppy, on who's part remains to be seen. Whatever and we are still reading.

The case is probably that the Aether is simplicity itself. We have been going about it all wrong (due to suppression). It really is ("just") about Yin/Yang...

The key is that, basically, it's these two forces, with a third as mediator, which underlie any and all processes. It's just an interaction of these two, from the most high to the bottom of the cosmic spectrum. That is the amazing thing.

Giving credit to Golden Dawn, they happened to opine the same idea. The Light, interacting with Itself........

In any case, you'll want to read this in conjunction with similar efforts as Mr. L has a narrow focus. So far, I haven't seen mention of the torus or vortex, PHi, number symbology, nested geometries etc. Perhaps they are addressed in his other works but I also didn't hear him mention these in interviews.

Being a mystic, pondering this stuff conjunct other's works is very satisfying. Sometimes you get that sensation you're coming close to a final grok...to then consciously pop out of the matrix.
