5.0 out of 5 stars THE BOOK THAT WAS ON ALBERT EINSTEIN'S BEDSIDE TABLE, May 24, 2007
By J. C. Durham (BOISE, IDAHO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is a review of the ancient knowledge and is supported by thousands of current (late 1800's) scientific footnotes. This cosmos is discussed in V. 1. The human race is covered in V. 2.

I have read this book since I was 22. I began to understand a great deal of it by the my late 50's. The history of the Earth and the Universe is difficult to grasp. Blavatsky or anyone else would have a hard time putting it in a few words. Human beings have not always been in the form that they are now having passed through stages where they were both male and female and prior to that neither male or female and even prior to that they were not physical in the way we are today.

As the Earth cooled, the human race in another state of being, created all biological life on and in the Earth. Then, in due time, human beings came to live upon the Earth. Over millions of years the race has declined. There have been several basic or "root" types and many many variations of the basic types of beings. We used to live to be a thousand years old. Before that we used to live as long as we wished. We were not always conceived the way we are now, but in a way that would not be believed by most people today. And, before that we were not conceived at all but simply came into existance.

The origin of the universe and the creative forces cannot be properly discussed by most human intellects and understanding is reached only through a kind of intuitive poetry leaving pieces of ancient facts in the intellect and memory to be pondered, understood finally or pieces of knowledge used for invention.

This is a true book of the greatest possible kind. I am quite happy that I stayed with it until I could actually now (at age 61) pick it up and read and understand it without great effort or having it putting me to sleep as it once did. Other books like Valerie Hunt's works have been, in part, very knowledge concentrated and not easy to read. However, her books and others' (say, from people like Tom Bearden) are worth the effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you believe it the gods will laugh at you!...., June 12, 2001
By A Customer
No religion higher than the truth. But the truth has to make sence before it can be considered. This book is far from simplicity even I consider it as a tool to add more confusion to our conscience by challenging our intelligence and making fun of our higher self with hab-hab-toz words. in case you believe it, the gods will laugh at you ,lol,:)))) read the "the Biggest secret" by David icke
