Hidden Truth: Forbidden Knowledge [Paperback]

Steven M. Greer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 28, 2006

In "Hidden Truth – Forbidden Knowledge" Dr. Greer provides his own personal disclosure based on years of high-level meetings with over 450 military and government-connected insiders and whistle-blowers and briefings with senior government officials, such as former CIA Director R. James Woolsey, members of the US Senate and senior UN officials.

In addition to these disclosures, "Hidden Truth – Forbidden Knowledge" unveils the actual contact experiences Dr. Greer has had with UFOs and Extraterrestrial Civilizations, beginning as a young child. In one of the most amazing and moving personal stories ever shared, he explains how after a prolonged near-death experience at age 17, he experienced cosmic consciousness and found the Rosetta Stone of ET contact: the power of the unbounded mind within each of us. Later this led to numerous Close Encounters of the 5th Kind: contact with ETs initiated by Dr. Greer and later by larger groups of people through the CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge May 17, 2006

By Collon M. Shandler

Format:Paperback

With this book, I think Greer catapults himself into the front ranks of credible New Age leaders. I read his previous work "Disclosure" several years ago and wondered how a country doctor could get the attention of such high level scientists and military people, much less get them to reveal top secret information about UFOs and reverse engineering of alien technology. It turns out that Greer is a natural and highly gifted practitioner of higher states of consciouness, remote viewing and astral travel. This is combined with a sane and rational approach to practical issues and the fearlessness of a Samauri. The book's conversational writing style made me feel like I was there as it describes meetings with Laurence Rockefeller, former CIA Director James Woolsey and numerous Congressmen and military officials. Most interesting were Greer's meetings with people in the Shadow Government and their endeavors to entice him to their agenda. When they were unsuccessful, many attempts were made to silence him, including giving him, as well as a close associate and a supportive congressman, cancer, all in the same short time period. Greer reports discovering information about rogue Star Wars plans to fake an alien invasion of earth. The intent is to unite the world around "Big Brother and a global corporate-military junta". The master plan, formulated many years ago, called for the Cold War, to be followed by the War on Terrorism and finally the "War of the Worlds". Dr.Carol Rosen, former head of Fairchild Industries and spokesperson for Werner Von Braun in the last years of his life, is on record as saying she attended meetings in the 1970s where the Gulf War was being planned.... Greer says a worldwide psy-ops program is now being orchestrated to instill fear of ETs through staged abductions using ARVs(Alien Reproduction Vehicles), drugs and advanced electronic mind control weapon systems; cattle mutilations and media disinformation. He writes, "I have interviewed numerous people in classified projects who have been on the abduction squads...". This book is 300+ pages of pure dynamite. If you want to know what has been going on behind the scenes and what the future holds(Greer reveals his remote viewing of possible events along our collective time-line) don't pass this book up.

5.0 out of 5 stars About time June 10, 2006

By Ron

Format:Paperback

It's hard to find good information about a subject that provokes so much ridicule, fear, bias, and is so widely misunderstood. I have been following Greer's work for 5 years now and this book puts everything into perspective. I have searched the internet far and wide for anyone who has good debunking information. No one will touch him. They instead focus on straw man arguments and debunk the ridiculous low-hanging-debunker-fruit of UFOlogy. That and the fact that he has hundreds of verifiable witnesses (I am personally connected to a couple through a friend at NASA) makes him bulletproof.

So before you scoff at the book, I would ask you to ask yourself a series of really honest questions about why you think this is nonsense. Ultimately you will have to resort to emotional or intellectual dishonesty in order to massage this information into your paradigm that the world is flat (meaning we are alone in the universe).

5.0 out of 5 stars A NEW WORLD, IF YOU WANT IT!!! August 4, 2006

By Margaret C. Jacob VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Dr. Greer relates the story about Col. Corso huffily asking the extraterrestrial "Who goes there" and "What do you want" and/or "What's in it for me?", and the answer was "A New World, If you want it!!" This fascinating happening and many others like it are yours for the reading of this fabulous expose book of why Dr. Steven Greer has been so persistant in wanting to tell this story of UFO's, their many contacts over the years, and their technology that would help our world get out of the "tough spots" we've managed to work ourselves into. Great reading. . . and so inspiring to have the confirmation we are all part of the eternal process on many dimensions . . . .

1.0 out of 5 stars At his CSETI workshop I saw the REAL "Hidden Truth" January 11, 2009

By Knowledge Seeker

Format:Paperback

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
During his CSETI workshop I was dismayed at the real Dr. Greer, November 15, 2009
By Knowledge Seeker (California) - See all my reviews

I followed Dr. Greer's activities with enthusiasm since 2001 when he established the Disclosure Project. I read his books, watched his interviews and listened to his meditation CD's. I liked everything the man seemed to be about and shared his views on the need to inform the public about the presence of extraterrestrial visitors on Earth, the importance of establishing peaceful contact with these visitors, in developing free or low cost overunity energy technologies that would clean the planet, eliminate conflict between nations, and bring about a dignified quality of life and abundance to people all over the world. I still share these goals.

So it was with great excitement that I signed up for a CSETI presentation and a one day workshop with Dr. Greer that took place on November 13 and 14, 2009 in Costa Mesa, California to experience and learn CSETI's contact protocol and to determine whether it would be worthwhile enrolling in a week long CSETI outing with Dr. Greer.

Surprisingly, my pre-conceived opinion about Dr. Greer's character began to disintegrate as I listened to his presentation. It was disheartening to discover he is excessively fascinated with himself, prone to indulge in name dropping and in bragging about his fantastic 'high end' and/or 'in the know' contacts and connections, not to mention the multitude of outlandish remarks he makes with a straight face, such as his impact on the rogue MAJESTIC secret government. So much so, that according to him, he "rejected a TWO BILLION dollars payout to shut up and abandon the ET disclosure issue"....

Needless to say, that night I left the auditorium less enthusiastic about what Dr. Greer is all about. But it was not until the workshop and the outing next day that my opinion about him really changed - unfortunately for the worst.

Again, during the workshop Dr. Greer devoted some time to self admiration while attempting to appear humble by saying, "I'm just a country doctor from North Carolina". By then, I was becoming quite uncomfortable about him but as the workshop progressed my discomfort turned into dismay as I watched how rudely he treated some attendees who asked valid questions or made harmless remarks but whose timing or subject he deemed "inappropriate". I was truly shocked and could not believe my ears and eyes as I watched him lash at them with such scornful contempt. It was so bad that I wondered if this man was consciously trying to chase these people away. Dr. Greer claims to have experienced meditative Samadhi or oneness with all. If so, one would think he would have achieved a certain degree of enlightenment and a sense of kinship toward his fellow men. Why then was he so harsh and unkind? Did he forget these people paid a significant amount of money not only to listen but to ask questions as well?

The worst and most disheartening part of this experience was witnessing the CSETI's field contact protocol. At the site, a number of devices such as a radio transmitter, magnetometer, radar detectors, infrared scope, etc. were arranged. Even though I don't doubt Dr. Greer may have had several ET experiences in the past, what I observed in the field that night is inconsistent with his hyperbolic claims suggesting he can vector ETs and make them appear. His actions and the facts demonstrated that at the very least this is a bold exaggeration. Not surprisingly, to cover up for this assertion Dr. Greer made sure to bring out a series of possibilities for a 'no show' prior to the field excursion. According to him, sometimes the ETs might not appear because, "there is someone in the group without good intent and a clean heart" or "the ETs feel threatened by US military" or "even though they won't fully materialize they will manifest in a thousand other ways".

Conveniently, there were plenty of people at hand, mostly staff, who would come forward to state that while meditating they saw this or heard that. Most amusing though were Dr. Greer's remarks at the beeps and sounds made by his electronic equipment. You see, according to him an ET he named Walter communicates via one of these electronic devices and Dr. Greer is able to recognize which beeps he makes. Additionally, the large quantity of "WOW!" and "Oh my God!" remarks coming out of Dr. Greer's mouth over unseen or imaginary nonevents was sadly hilarious. Often times he would point his mega laser beam at some spot in the sky and claim he was seeing a partly materialized ET craft. Of course, any one else saw nothing even though, according to him, many significant events were taking place that night because "we were such a great group". To make matters worse, Dr. Greer supplemented the lack of any occurrence with information he received via "remote viewing".

I found this charade insulting to my intelligence, intuitiveness and psychic sensibilities. I know ETs were not present that night and I would have respected Dr. Greer if he had been forthright and acknowledged the fact that there was no activity. I would understand; it happens.

Because I experienced first hand Dr. Greer's tendency to fabricate, exaggerate and embellish nonevents at the CSETI field trip, it then follows that the accuracy and validity of everything he claims in his books is in question since it's evident that, at the very least, he stretches the truth to the point where it becomes short of being an outright lie.

In the past, whenever I would read negative reviews about Dr. Greer, especially ones describing him as a self centered narcissist, I would reject them and conclude they were made by people who couldn't handle the truth. But based on what I saw and experienced first hand, it appears Dr. Greer is in love with himself, and because he sees himself above others, he dislikes most people. However, he desperately craves attention so he created this ET disclosure platform to attract as large an audience as possible in order to obtain the recognition and adulation he sorely needs. In essence, regardless of the message, this messenger is so flawed one must question the purity and true nature of his motivations. His books, conferences and CSETI outings may be more about the money they bring than the message itself.

Furthermore, unless you enjoy watching people being mistreated by Dr. Greer and don't mind embarking on a pathetic farce, I recommend you put your money elsewhere instead of spending it in any of his CSETI's excursions.

UPDATE 12/4/2009: In a letter sent to Dr. Greer, CIA director James Woolsey, his wife Suzanne, and two others, refute Dr. Greer's claims regarding his alleged "briefing" to them. To read this letter in its entirety please google: greer woolsey ufo watch dog.
