Does the prevailing history of the world and human origins, and human capabilities, satisfy you? Or does one feel--or know--there's more to the story, our story? "Desiring to stake out areas of specialised knowledge and control, we've suppressed the consciousness of our cosmos." Not only is that this a profound and profoundly accurate statement, but it is a huge clue on what you would possibly anticipate are going to be included during this intelligent, rational, reasonable exposition about who we are and therefore the nature of reality that's being denied to us (and by many of us--still) to our individual and shared detriment, while deterring the flourishing we'd instead experience.
If you're curious enough to explore other options about our origins and therefore the nature of reality (or albeit you've got done), you'll appreciate this book supported research by independent scholars and therefore the critical, cumulative thinking of the author, Paul Von Ward, who states: "I describe a provisional, but realistic picture of the human legacy by synthesizing the ideas of countless others who are willing to check alternative perceptions of reality. I also evaluate solid material dismissed as unscientific by institutional gate-keepers or ignored due to its source." He continues with, "Included are studies on improperly labeled 'paranormal' phenomena, reports of intelligent nonhuman beings, tangible evidence of forgotten advanced civilizations, compelling findings of frontier science, and wisdom germinated in some cosmic seedbed that springs from deep intuition." If you sometimes skip the Preface and Introduction once you read, i counsel that these two sections are must-reads!
As the author explains, a number of our beliefs about our human and planetary history have caused us to succeed in a crossroads of either taking responsibility for constructing a far better world (and earning our place within the cosmos) or taking responsibility for destroying our world--or allowing it to be destroyed through our complacency. Are we being led by those in authority (religious, educational, political) who could also be wearing blinders or are guided solely by their personal beliefs (or agendas) instead of by facts or right questions? The author asks if we will truly create a far better future (and present) if we do not first fill within the gaps about our history; and there are more gaps than facts. He features a point. If you watch any programs about ancient monoliths and structures--creations we'd be hard-pressed to recreate today--and believe that it had been a more "primitive" sort of us who accomplished these feats, then you'd need to also agree that even with our modern technologies, in some ways, we've devolved. Or, you'd need to wonder what else was happening , perhaps that mainstream doesn't want us to even consider as our history, which begs the question: why not? Von Ward's purpose isn't to prove, but to engender healthy skepticism about what we're told the facts are versus what the evidence about our history and who we actually are demonstrates-or doesn't.
The book has three parts. Part 1 offers three perspectives on reality. Part 2 covers how consciousness manifests itself. Part 3 describes what has got to happen for humans to be and behave as Solarians, aiming to operate using all of our potential and currently recognized abilities, also as letting go of what not serves us as individuals or as a collective--or never has, and to embrace what we'd currently consider the "unknown" to be about us and therefore the cosmos as opportunities to expand into the fullness of who we will be, or meant to be.
Von Ward posits that an intelligent assessment is required now on how misinformation, disinformation, and wrong information has been "guiding" us, or misleading us, in many significant instances, along the trail our human history has followed. That the absence of such assessment has affected how we evolve intellectually, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and cosmically. I appreciate the author's premise for scripting this book, which is to possess candid conversations among the varied disciplines about what we categorically don't know as fact and what we do know as fact. "Any action 'to set the story straight' is worth it only for the sake of truth, but there also are more urgent reasons. it'll expose arbitrary sources of political, economic, military and non secular power. it'll democratize esoteric knowledge not yet available to all or any . it'll empower individuals to require more responsibility for our own actions and therefore the way forward for the earth . And it'll facilitate much-needed reform in economic, medical, educations, and political institutions."
