On September 11, 2001, the Earth was rocked by a meticulously planned strike at the financial and military heart of the world’s last superpower, as ordinary passenger airliners turned into weapons of mass destruction, reducing the twin towers of the World Trade Center to a pile of rubble and exploding one wing of the Pentagon.

Prior to this event it was quite common for the general public to proclaim that everything was “normal” and ignore many obvious signposts that humanity, the Earth and solar system at large were all undergoing tremendous, unprecedented change, which includes the following ever-increasing trends:

- A 410-percent increase in the overall number of natural catastrophes on Earth between 1963 and 1993 (Dmitriev 1997)

- A 400-percent increase in the number of quakes on Earth (over 2.5 on the Richter scale) since 1973 (Mandeville 1998)

- A ~500-percent increase in Earth’s volcanic activity between 1875 and 1993 (Mandeville 2000)

- 9 out of the 21 most severe earthquakes from 856-1999 AD occurred in the 20th century (Russian National Earthquake Information Center, 1999)

- A 230-percent increase in the strength of the Sun’s magnetic field since 1901 (Lockwood, 1998)

- A 300-percent increase in the amount of “severe” solar activity than what was formally predicted for the year 1997 alone (NASA 1998)

- 400-percent or higher increases in the speed that solar particle emissions are capable of traveling through the energy of interplanetary space (NASA 1997-2001)

- Recent magnetic pole shifts of Uranus and Neptune, as Voyager 2 observed their magnetic axes being significantly offset from their rotational axes (Dmitriev 1997)

- Visible brightness increases now being detected on Saturn (Dmitriev 1997)

- 200-percent increase in the intensity of Jupiter’s magnetic field from 1992-97 (Dmitriev 1997)

- 200-percent increase in the known density of Mars’ atmosphere encountered by the Mars Surveyor satellite in 1997 (NASA 1997)

- Significant melting of Martian polar icecaps in just one year, clearly seen in satellite photography (NASA 2001)

- Significant physical, chemical and optical changes on Venus, including a sharp decrease in sulfur-containing gases in its atmosphere and increasing brightness (Dmitriev 1997)

If we remember that the Sun contains fully 99.86% of the mass in the Solar System, then we can easily see that it wields the strongest thermal, gravitational and electromagnetic influence. In this book we will identify a clear physical mechanism that is causing our Sun to experience remarkable changes. These significant energetic changes in the Sun are then radiated outwardly via the “Solar Wind,” dramatically increasing the charge and permeability of interplanetary space, causing charged particles to travel more quickly much as a droplet of water dashes around on a sizzling hot pan. The electromagnetic fields of the planets then absorb this increased energy flux, producing anomalous changes including internal heating, increases in earthquakes, volcanism and other natural catastrophes, increases in brightness and even magnetic pole shift.

Though Western science is not yet equipped to explain how such changes as earthquakes could be caused by an “outside” energetic influence, the full mystery is known amongst Russian scientific circles, and is easily explained by correcting certain fundamental errors in our prevailing concepts. Not surprisingly, the mainstream media gives almost zero coverage of even the most basic of the changes we have listed. Even in the Internet-dominated Western alternative / metaphysical media, one only hears about the changes in solar activity and increases in Earth’s cataclysmic activity on occasion. Thus, a basic media-induced blindness of the workings of our own Earth and Solar System allowed most people to say that everything was “normal,” prior to 9-11-01.

And yet, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, it is undeniable to almost everyone that certain ancient prophecies, such as those of the Judeo-Christian Bible, the Hopi, the Maya, the Hindu, the Buddhist and the aboriginal, appear to be taking place almost line by line. Increasing wars, diseases, earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts and other natural cataclysms, which eventually lead up to a “pole shift,” all follow the pattern of “tribulations” that have been predicted by literally almost every source of religion or prophecy that has been recorded. That such tribulations are upon us now is evident, and easily proven scientifically. What most adherents to these various teachings do not realize is that these phenomena are being caused by a fundamental energetic change taking place throughout the entire Solar System.

When most people think of “Biblical prophecy,” their mind immediately conjures up images of chaos, apocalypse and destruction, often believing on some level that the Earth is to be annihilated and there is little if anything to be done about it. A certain, noticeably smaller cluster of groups, associated with the now-distasteful label of “religious fundamentalists,” are essentially standing by and waiting for Jesus to return and lift their own sect of “chosen” followers up to heaven in a “rapture” event, to the exclusion of all other sects. They also believe that the Earth will have “a thousand years of peace” after this event, and that after being “taken up,” they will return to Earth in some newly transformed condition. Conventional science has no provision whatsoever for such a notion to even be discussed, much less proven, and thus it is tossed to the side without a second thought. Furthermore, the exclusivist nature of such denominational groups is extremely distasteful to all those who refuse to accept the dogma.

Enter our next subculture of discussion, the ever-increasing majority of the population who are actively interested in alternative spirituality, ancient cultures, prophecy, secret mystery schools, indigenous teachings, sacred geometry, extraterrestrial / angelic visitations, exotic physics and the like. Although there are an enormous number of books available on these topics, the Internet has brought these concepts home to a far wider audience in a way that was never before imagined. It is from this increasing subculture that a new paradigm has been struggling to emerge; a paradigm that offers unforeseen insights into the nature of reality and our place within that reality. It is a paradigm of “initiation,” where one ceases to adhere to reductionist scientific ideals and instead becomes aware that a higher spiritual reality underlies all of physical existence as we know it.

In this book, we hope to direct the reader through a dramatic initiation process, delineating an entirely new view of the universe that will explain exactly what is happening to the Solar System at this time, why it is happening and what we can expect that it will “do.” The key difference between this book and most other sources of literature on such topics is that each step of our argument will be rooted in clear, unambiguous scientific research. This illumination and initiation for the mind will in turn bear noble fruits, building one’s sense of character, purpose and destiny and providing strong incentive to aspire to higher physical, mental and spiritual growth. We will learn that our entire understanding of the nature of physical matter is radically under-developed, and that the energy increases that we see in the Solar System will indeed culminate in what may be thought of as a “dimensional shift.” It is our choice as to whether or not we will be willing to accept the attitude of loving-kindness that is required for participation in this event, and the Golden Age of human civilization that shall follow it.

Here is our first source of conflict. Many readers are bringing in a mindset and belief structure that such changes and events are simply not possible. They may quickly stop reading upon realizing that such an initiation does require a great deal of work before the vision of the authors can be truly integrated. Many books of this type have been attempted where a few precious nuggets of valuable data are hidden within endless paragraphs of wasted, repetitious verbiage, which few have the time or patience to read. However, this book contains nothing but those nuggets, enough to spawn an entire legion of books, in a clear and compressed format. The words must be savored and studied with care, and cannot be “skimmed” through as one would normally glance at page after page of email or newspaper articles. Comprehension is dramatically enhanced by printing a hard copy of the book and writing in liner notes as one goes along. The mind must be kept extremely open in order to see facts as facts and not be blinded by the misunderstandings that continue to be perpetuated under the guise of authority from the scientific mainstream. Rare are those individuals who choose to investigate such matters for themselves instead of continuing to believe the “conventional wisdom” without question.

Let us furthermore consider the reader who already “knows” that our conclusion cannot be valid. For such a person, is there any point in proceeding further? Most likely, this event is not expected to occur until at least months or possibly even years after the time that the book is read, and some will refuse to believe that it will ever occur at all. If so, then on the simple, day-to-day level of understanding, why would one benefit from such an initiation into the knowledge of the hidden nature of the Universe? Is this event something for which we should just “sit and wait,” or is there a more immediately valid reason to begin studying this material today?

In deep meditation, we discover that the single root cause of all our suffering is the subconscious belief that God has abandoned us. We refer to this belief as the “Original Wound.” Our parents, teachers, brothers, sisters, friends, lovers, employers, governments and institutions, as well as our relationships with money, education and with the health and condition of our physical bodies, all present us with opportunities to feel disgraced, humiliated, alienated and abandoned at various times, when our search for love, friendship and belongingness is shot down. What most of us never will realize is that these situations are triggering a tremendous subconscious charge of anger and resentment at God. The conscious mind has concluded that God is all knowing and all loving, but the subconscious mind often feels cut off, depressed and isolated in despair. Diseases of addiction to food, sex, shopping, television, the Internet, coffee, alcohol, drugs, victimhood, blame, rage and all other forms of materialism are our way of seeking “instant gratification” for the part of ourselves that feels abandoned. However, it is an established spiritual fact that all such distractions must eventually collapse under their own weight, leading once more to the search for God.

Once we deeply establish the scientific reality of an Ultimate Being, and of the Universe functioning according to a perfect Grand Plan, the blind from our eyes is removed. We learn to build a temple or vessel within ourselves where Divine Love may reside, by emulating the everlasting laws of harmony, balance and proportion in thought and in action. Once this process has been fully accomplished, it is impossible for us to blame anyone for our own problems or feel any sense of negative emotions over others’ opinions and actions towards us.

There is no need to try to distract and entertain ourselves with the material world, as we become aware that it is nothing but an illusion, fashioned by the limitations imposed by our sensory organs, which are not normally capable of detecting the unseen worlds of energy that surround us, and the advanced intelligent entities that populate them.

We are never alone in the Divine Cosmos.

There is nothing new to the spiritual science of preparation, illumination and initiation into the mysteries contained within this book. For those who are actively engaged in studying the evidence, it is becoming more and more certain that the Earth was once host to an ancient, advanced civilization that had complete understanding of the physics and the timing behind the event that we are now experiencing in the Earth and Solar System. This civilization took great pains to preserve their legacy so that we could re-discover these everlasting truths.

The most obvious footprints that have been left behind by this lost, ancient civilization are the many surviving structures around the world that are composed of multi-ton blocks of stone or “megaliths,” far too large and intricate in construction to be built by any known methods now available to humanity. In our 2000 book The Shift of the Ages, we go into detail about such monuments, including their distinct energetic functions and their worldwide interconnected nature, provable by straightforward mathematical analysis.

Off the coast of the Japanese island of Yonaguni, a pyramid-like, obviously artificial megalithic structure has been found submerged under the sea in an area that could not have been above water for at least 12,000 years. And in 2001, Paulina Zelinsky and Paul Weinzweig of Advanced Digital Communications announced that they had discovered vast submerged city of pyramids, buildings, roads and other structures off the western tip of Cuba, about a half-mile under the sea, as seen from side-scan sonar readings. This story actually broke into the Western mainstream media, which shows how surprisingly close they are to admitting that such a civilization did indeed exist.

Though there has been ongoing interest in the search for ancient undersea ruins, Zelinsky’s team was the first to elicit cooperation with the Communist regime of Cuba so that such advanced measurements could be taken in their national waters. The research of Linda Moulton Howe and others has revealed that National Geographic has already signed a contract to have exclusive rights to release this new material to humanity, and that a comprehensive multimedia disclosure is being planned. More recent updates in November 2001 revealed that interconnecting circles of rock similar to Stonehenge have now been photographed at the site by a robotic undersea probe, along with a series of stone inscriptions including crosses, sketches of Mesoamerican-style pyramids, and an unusual written language. The team hopes to photograph and survey the area much more thoroughly as time proceeds.

The original source of information for the Western world regarding this lost ancient civilization came from the works of Greek philosopher Plato, who first referred to it in the Timaeus as the island continent “Atlantis.” It is widely held that the technological sophistication of Atlantis actually superceded our own, including anti-gravity capability that was used both for devices capable of interstellar travel as well as the levitation of tremendous blocks to build the pyramids and sacred structures seen worldwide. Also available to the Atlanteans was a form of technology where extremely high amounts of energy to power all sorts of different devices could be drawn from the very essence of empty space itself – a non-physical energy source that the Greeks referred to as “aether,” which was their word for “shine.” The Greek word “pyramid” actually comes from the word roots “Pyre” and “Amid,” meaning “fire in the middle.” This suggests that a harnessing of energy is occurring within such structures. In addition to technology, the Atlanteans were much more aware of the spiritual, intuitive and symbolic side of life, something that modern civilization has become much more divorced from.

Many different sources indicate that Plato had received the information regarding Atlantis secretly from the existing priesthoods of Egypt, and that he created a great controversy amongst their ranks by actually publicizing it. This one small data point, published in the philosophy texts of the day, could be seen as the first clue in unraveling a very substantial mystery. According to such sources, the Egyptian priesthood was one of several splinter groups entrusted with preserving what they referred to as “the sacred fire of antiquity,” a coded term for the overall cosmology, physics and spiritual knowledge of Atlantis, which was also referred to as “The Tradition” or “The Mysteries.” Rigorous oaths of secrecy were taken to uphold the secrets of such initiatory knowledge on pain of death. Offshoots of these societies are well known to still exist today through such organizations as Freemasonry, a group that was intimately connected to the foundation of the United States and still has widespread influence among the most elite power circles.

Solid information regarding such “secret societies” and their initiated teachings has been publicly available throughout the 19th and 20th century. In 1928, 33rd-degree Freemason scholar Manly Palmer Hall published a book that does a remarkable job of assembling the puzzle pieces into one single, vast composite, and its name is “The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Quabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, Being an Interpretation of the Secret Teachings concealed within the Rituals, Allegories and Mysteries of all Ages.” This text is by far the most popular of its kind, and without such a book in existence, it would arguably be much more difficult to reconstruct an accurate picture of what exactly was known in the ancient world and how it was preserved throughout time.

The general picture of the time of Atlantis that Hall and other sources paint is of a world quite different than we know it today. Atlantis was one of two main advanced civilizations that co-existed on the Earth at that time, the other being the Rama Empire, which was centered in India. [If the Pacific Ocean-based civilization of “Lemuria” had indeed existed, it appears to have been from an even earlier period and was long-gone by the time of Atlantis and Rama.] Documents from the Rama empire still exist today for the public to study, which the Hindus call the Vedas, and in these texts there are many references to highly advanced technology, including elaborate flying machines known as “Vimana” and nuclear weaponry.

According to David Hatcher Childress in the book Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India and Atlantis,

The India of 15,000 years ago is sometimes known as the Rama Empire, a land that was contemporary with Atlantis. A huge wealth of texts still extant in India testify to the extremely advanced civilization that is said by these texts to go back over 26,000 years. Terrible wars and subsequent earth changes destroyed these civilizations, leaving only isolated pockets of civilization.

It is not surprising for those aware of such research that vast undersea city ruins have now been discovered off the coast of India near Gujarat, which could not have been above water for at least 9000 years. Some twelve thousand years ago, most of the Earth’s population was nowhere near at the level of sophistication possessed by the Atlanteans or the Ramas, and like the “clashes of civilizations” of our own era, these two giants ended up going into war with each other. Atlantis had just begun a program of indoctrinating lesser-developed cultures with their knowledge when their island continent was destroyed by a combination of warfare and geological cataclysms, which completely submerged their land circa 9600 BC. Just prior to this time, some who were aware of this impending cataclysm left the island and went into hiding amongst other lesser-advanced populations of humanity.

Some of these indigenous groups were in North and South America while others were in Europe, Africa and Asia. As Hall writes in Secret Teachings,

From the Atlanteans the world has received not only the heritage of arts and crafts, philosophies and sciences, ethics and religions, but also the heritage of hate, strife, and perversion. The Atlanteans instigated the first war; and it has been said that all subsequent wars were fought in a fruitless effort to justify the first one and right the wrong which it caused. Before Atlantis sank, its spiritually illumined Initiates, who realized that their land was doomed because it had departed from the Path of Light, withdrew from the ill-fated continent. Carrying with them the sacred and secret doctrine, these Atlanteans established themselves in Egypt, where they became its first "divine" rulers. Nearly all the great cosmologic myths forming the foundation of the various sacred books of the world are based upon the Atlantean Mystery rituals.

In the Western Hemisphere, this “Atlantean” influence is arguably behind the Mayan Calendar and many other indigenous spiritual traditions of various Native American groups. In the Eastern Hemisphere, this same Atlantean / Raman influence links the Egyptians, Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Celtics, Druids, Tibetans and Greeks, as well as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. A variety of “secret societies” or “mystery schools” arose as well, including the following partial list that could easily be continued:

Atlantean, Hindu / Vedic / Raman, Hermetic, Pyramidic, Zodiacal, Egyptian, Celtic / Druidic, Mithraic, Serapean, Odinic / Gothic, Eleusinian, Orphic, Bacchic, Dionysiac, Cabiric, Pythagorean, Essenic, Platonic, Solomonic, Quabbalistic, Hebraic, Gnostic, Christian, Scandinavian, Arthurian, Alchemical, the Knights Templar, the Order of the Assassins, the Order of the Quest, Rosicrucian, Baconian / Masonic (Freemasonry,) Builders of the Adytum (BOTA), Ordo Templi Orientalis (OTO), the JASON society, the Skull and Bones society, the Islamic mysteries, the Mayan sacred teachings and the vast Native American / Shaman heritage.

It is important to remember that within each of the above names is an entire corpus of material to assimilate and digest, upon which a multiplicity of books could be written – knowledge which likely remains concealed to this day, at least in part. Secrecy was very much a part of the picture, as this next passage from Hall’s book points out:

He who would fathom the depths of philosophic thought must familiarize himself with the teachings of those initiated priests designated as the first custodians of divine revelation. The Mysteries claimed to be the guardians of a transcendental knowledge so profound as to be incomprehensible save to the most exalted intellect and so potent as to be revealed with safety only to those in whom personal ambition was dead and who had consecrated their lives to the unselfish service of humanity. Both the dignity of these sacred institutions and the validity of their claim to possession of Universal Wisdom are attested by the most illustrious philosophers of antiquity, who were themselves initiated into the profundities of the secret doctrine and who bore witness to its efficacy.

The question may legitimately be propounded: If these ancient mystical institutions were of such "great pith and moment," why is so little information now available concerning them and the arcana they claimed to possess? The answer is simple enough: The Mysteries were secret societies, binding their initiates to inviolable secrecy, and avenging with death the betrayal of their sacred trusts. Although these schools were the true inspiration of the various doctrines promulgated by the ancient philosophers, the fountainhead of those doctrines was never revealed to the profane. Furthermore, in the lapse of time the teachings came so inextricably linked with the names of disseminators that the actual but recondite source - the Mysteries - came to be wholly ignored.

In the next paragraph, Hall explains how much of this secret ancient knowledge was preserved through the use of symbolism. This enabled valuable information to be stored in plain sight, such as in physical structures, mythological accounts and sacred texts, and yet concealed in an encoded form, which would only be decipherable to those who had already grasped the knowledge of the ancient Mysteries to some degree:

Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries; in it is the language not only of mysticism and philosophy but of all Nature, for every law and power active in universal procedure is manifested to the limited sense perceptions of man through the medium of symbol. Every form existing in the diversified sphere of being is symbolic of the divine activity by which it is produced. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language. Rejecting man-conceived dialects as inadequate and unworthy to perpetuate divine ideas, the Mysteries thus chose symbolism as a far more ingenious and ideal method of preserving their transcendental knowledge. In a single figure a symbol may both reveal and conceal, for to the wise the subject of the symbol is obvious, while to the ignorant the figure remains inscrutable. He who seeks to unveil the secret doctrine of antiquity must search for that doctrine not upon the open pages of books which might fall into the hands of the unworthy but in the place where it was originally concealed.

Far-sighted were the initiates of antiquity. They realized that nations come and go, that empires fall, and that the golden ages of art, science, and idealism are succeeded by the dark ages of superstition. With the needs of posterity foremost in mind, the sages of old went to inconceivable extremes to make certain that their knowledge should be preserved. They engraved it upon the face of mountains and concealed it with the measurements of colossal images, each of which was a geometric marvel. Their knowledge of chemistry and mathematics they hid within mythologies which the ignorant would perpetuate, or in the spans and arches of their temples which time has not entirely obliterated. They wrote in characters that neither the vandalism of men nor the ruthlessness of the elements could completely efface. Today men gaze with awe and reverence upon the mighty Memnons (Pyramids) standing alone on the sands of Egypt, or upon the strange terraced pyramids of Palanque. Mute testimonies these are of the lost arts and sciences of antiquity; and concealed this wisdom must remain until this race has learned to read the universal language - SYMBOLISM.

The book to which this is the introduction is dedicated to the proposition that concealed within the emblematic figures, allegories and rituals of the ancients is a secret doctrine concerning the inner mysteries of life; which doctrine has been preserved in toto among a small band of initiated minds since the beginning of the world. Departing, these illumined philosophers left their formulae that others, too, might attain to understanding. But, lest these secret processes fall into uncultured hands and be perverted, the Great Arcanum was always concealed in symbol or allegory; and those who can today discover its lost keys may open with them a treasure house of philosophic, scientific, and religious truths.

So as we can see from the above passage, the sacred knowledge from Atlantis concerned a cosmology of the “inner mysteries of life,” a viewpoint of reality that was markedly different than that espoused by the “profane” masses who were not initiates into the ancient traditions. Hall does make the explicit point at the end of this passage that those who can discover the lost keys of ancient wisdom “may open with them a treasure house of philosophic, scientific and religious truths.” Within this book that you are now reading is an exhaustive reconstruction of the scientific knowledge of the Ancients, upgrading this information with the most modern cutting-edge discoveries in physics, and thus returning the “lost keys” to the hands of modern-day seekers.

With these ancient keys we can indeed reveal an incredible storehouse of spiritual wisdom that has thus far almost completely eluded the Western scientific establishment, at least overtly.

WHAT DO WE HAVE IN THIS BOOK?

What we have in this book is ultimately a cosmology – a new way of understanding the Universe of physical and nonphysical matter and how it functions. We will learn that conventional science has made a series of “wrong turns” in the last 100 years or so that have led to a model that is highly flawed and incomplete at best. Once we repair the damage that was done, we will have a clear and understandable new view of the Cosmos that explains how anti-gravity and limitless, “free” energy technologies are possible. Presenting these concepts in a simple and understandable manner helps to insure that such breakthrough technologies will no longer be suppressed by the existing power structures, since they can now be easily explained to others. We have been taught to believe that such technologies are foolish and impossible due to the “laws” of physics, but once we step past that point, we will realize how incredibly our civilization will be transformed once we again begin creating them.

Additionally, in this book we will discover many remarkable new energetic properties of the solar system, the galaxy and the universe that few could have previously anticipated. We will learn that “empty space is not empty,” but rather is filled with an energy source that is indeed the true source of life and consciousness as we know it. We will see that the quality of our emotions and thoughts are not at all isolated, but are constantly being affected by outside cosmic forces that can take our moods on a roller-coaster ride, producing inspiration at times and desperation at others. And thus, we are all connected to the Cosmos in this very fundamental way. This functional knowledge goes way beyond the popular concepts of astrology to include many other unforeseen elements, such as precisely repeating cycles of historical events over long periods of time and advanced predictions of how the financial markets will move.

When we realize that our thoughts and feelings are not simply our own, but are part of a synchronized web of life, we can never again see ourselves as being separate from others. Humanity as a whole will be seen as a form of organism that surrounds the surface of the Earth, interacting with the planets, asteroids, comets, the Sun and the galaxy itself in a reciprocal relationship. Strange questions will arise as to where our free will begins and where it ends, since there can be forces of will much vaster than our own that are moving us along a previously designed curriculum that we have all agreed upon in a higher sense – a curriculum that has now reached a major turning point. All the major mysteries associated with the prophecies surrounding this “Ascension” event are eliminated in this new model.

Many who have read our books in the past have come away being surprised at how little they knew, or at how much there was to know that they had never even conceived of. One major area of importance is in forming a working “multidimensional” model of the Universe. Our scientists are now beginning to agree that there must be several different planes of existence or “dimensions” in the Universe, and in this new cosmology, that will also become a very simple concept to grasp. We will scientifically demonstrate a unified spiritual and scientific concept of how the Universe is all based on a “master plan” that incorporates simple principles of vibration such as light, sound and geometry.

We will also see that just like the principle of a fractal or a hologram, within the infinity of the Many is always the signature of the All.
 

THE AUTHOR AND THE WORK

Obviously, these are advanced concepts, and just as the Ancients knew, scientific exploration must be combined with mystical consciousness in order to fully develop and understand the concepts before they can be accurately presented to others. To that end, since age five or earlier, the author has had extensive experience with mystical states of consciousness such as dreams, deep meditative trances and out of body or “astral” traveling. Since 1992, he has recorded almost every dream from every morning of his life in writing, and has actively tried to follow its guidance, rendered in the ancient language of symbolism and metaphor. Since 1994, he has been very focused on maintaining a rigidly pure vegetarian / vegan diet and exercise program in order to refine and expand his consciousness, and since 1996 he has experienced telepathic contact with forms of higher intelligence. The combined total of written dreams and “psychic readings” now amounts to well over 5000 pages.

Much of this book could not have been put together without actually “going out there and doing it yourself,” since there are innumerable mistakes that can be made with straightforward trial-and-error reasoning that can lead to years of false grasping, only to be shattered by some unforeseen new piece of data later on. (Most Western scientists already see this happening to a number of their cherished models but are usually unwilling to concede to the newer truths, thus cleverly avoiding discussing the numerous problems. Any scientific model that throws away that which it does not understand, such as the phenomenon of psychic ability, is flawed.)

In our research method, to solve a particularly difficult problem, of which there have literally been hundreds, one would begin with the scientific observations at hand, and then travel into higher realms of being through dreams and trance states to see how those observations are actually working. One example of this would be in the study of gravity – instead of thinking of it as a source that “sucks down” from the center of the Earth, it can also be modeled as a source of outside energy that is streaming into the Earth from all directions. So, in the next phase you would go out and see if that is how the gravitational flow actually behaves.

Once the solutions are obtained from that place of knowing, new doorways often emerge that lead to amazing, unforeseen breakthroughs. A simple study in gravity turns out to be a lesson in how the Earth is actually “breathing” the energy of life from around itself – literally inhaling “new” energy, transforming it into the matter of its atoms and molecules and then exhaling it, releasing it back out into space. This can then also open the door to solving the puzzles of quantum physics, with an understanding of how every atom and molecule is drawing off of this same energy supply in the same way. Such knowledge has emerged from a directly spiritual source for people such as John Keely, Edward Leedskalnin, Dr. Walter Russell and Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev, each of which led to impressive accomplishments that most would consider to be impossible.

One of the author’s most fascinating observations early along came when he tried to fly away from the Earth and go into “outer space” while in an out-of-body experience. From this, he eventually realized that the Earth had an onion-like structure of spherical “planes” surrounding itself. (This is considered common knowledge to initiates of the Mysteries, and has been prominently confirmed by the out-of-body research conducted by Robert Monroe.) After a certain distance of traveling upwards from the Earth in an out-of-body state, Wilcock would pop through a “layer” of energy and a new surface would appear beneath him. In the first few cases the new layers also appeared to be inhabited by common human civilization in some form, and were apparently realms of the afterlife. The higher he went, the less that these areas looked like conventional Earth civilization. He soon arrived in a highly picturesque and sacred place of mostly undisturbed green forest and meadows, complete with giant standing stones in geometric arrangements and charged with a sense of love and intelligence far superior to the current state of humanity. The people of this mystical place were literally glowing with radiant energy and wore headbands, robes and sandals on their feet, and everyone smiled happily and greeted each other – including this new traveler – as they passed.

Punching through an even higher level, he suddenly found himself literally standing inside of what appeared to be an extraterrestrial spacecraft. The room was gigantic and quiet as a library, with 30-foot high ceilings and glistening black marble floors and walls that had a tinge of blueness that seemed to give off light. A sphere was floating over a cubical platform in the center of the room, probably more of a symbol than anything else, and lining the rectangularly-spaced walls were giant open cubicles. Each cubicle was about six feet wide, with a human-appearing uniformed person in a chair seated before a flat, desk-like surface and a gigantic hi-resolution screen that was easily five feet high. The screens could bring up images of planetary systems, routes of travel, navigation systems, energetic diagrams, different lifeforms in all levels of anatomy, et cetera in brilliant, full color, three-dimensional detail.

On several different occasions, your author was seated at one of the cubicles and instructed on how to use a new form of control device for manipulating the images on the screen. It simply consisted of a three-inch wide circular hole that had bright, smooth light coming up from itself to a visible height of perhaps four inches. By holding the four fingers together over this light, palm down, and tilting and moving the hand in a number of different patterns, a variety of tasks could be performed on-screen. Spreading the fingers apart was the one thing that the machine couldn’t handle, and certain video game-type activities were used to train the student not to make that mistake once it really mattered, such as in navigation.

The pronoun “we” is used in many cases in this book, since the author is not only in contact with the bright genius of many exceptional human beings through their work and communications, but has personally experienced direct meetings with beings of higher intelligence in these mystical states as well. Obviously in earlier stages this was thought to simply be imagination, but through such things as telekinesis – a small but definite movement of objects in the physical – it became more and more obvious that the contacts were indeed real. This discovery took months and months to adjust to, but it was extremely fascinating the entire time.

Though we are not “channeling” when writing the words of this book, the author has trained himself to be able to communicate consciously with these entities and bring forth their messages, which often emerge in a cryptic form far different than human speech, especially in the deeper trance states. One good “truth test” for such communications is whether they can produce information that the individual does not or could not consciously know beforehand. And indeed, since 1996 we have documented extensive examples of very clear, unambiguous prophecies of future events, and this source has been of inestimable value in leading the author and his fellow readers towards a more balanced, self-integrated and spiritually aware lifestyle.

Most people in the scientific community discount mystical consciousness and psychic ability for the penultimate reason that they have rarely experienced it themselves. If we survey the original wisdom of the initiates in the Atlantean / Raman cultures through their splinter groups, we find a universal emphasis placed upon meditation. As we shall see, the conscious mind is not and cannot simply be a function of the brain – certain hydrocephalics have mostly water in their brain case and yet are able to think and reason and remember as ordinary people. And yet, for most people the vagaries of the day, with guilt over the past and fear over the future, rule their minds. These obsessive, looping thoughts rob the person of ever being able to focus on the present, on how they feel right in that moment and what is happening in their mind when they stop the chattering. Overcoming this mental chatter is the main goal of all Oriental philosophy.

Many people have had some level of psychic success by simply clearing out the mind through meditation, focusing on a specific question and then documenting whatever thoughts came up, whether spoken, visual or otherwise. Mystical adepts such as the Tibetans, another group with Atlantean / Raman inheritances, took this to such an extreme that they would literally “channel” entire sacred scriptures that they had never before seen, and would later grade themselves on whether their product was 100% identical to the original or not by traveling to other areas where the ancient scriptures were stored and comparing the documents. The finest psychic achievements of modern Western initiates seem to pale in comparison to such feats.

The knowledge of the Mysteries is also of inestimable value in dealing with others. The Ancients used their knowledge of the musical principles of vibration, harmony and balance as tools to learn how to live better lives for themselves, and how to create “ideal” societies where there is fairness, peace and equality. Since the Universe is truly an image of perfection, such beauty can be aspired to in the layout and construction of buildings, cities, governments and social institutions, as was often written in the works of Plato. When a society again becomes familiar with the timeless principles of the Universe as a whole, it will invariably take on a richness and vibrancy that was never before conceived of, which the Ancients referred to as a “Golden Age.” There can be no thought of crime or of hurting others once the pain of separation is eliminated in the knowledge of our collective Oneness.

Another point for the critics who say that this information has “no spiritual value” is this. If your goal is to move towards a true knowing of the “I” that is within you that created the Universe, then there is no substitute for the knowledge of exactly what “You” originally created and how it functions and behaves. If our current science has made mistakes, such as the idea that the Earth has a molten core of iron, then we are missing valuable pieces of the puzzle if we just nod our heads and believe that we are living on a hot rock. Were we to learn that the center of the Earth is a source of brilliant plasma energy like what we see on the Sun, and that it is continually absorbing energy, creating new matter and gradually expanding the earth in its physical size, then that knowledge can become a part of us that stays with us every time we take a walk or sit and meditate.

Our consciousness automatically expands into higher levels of inspiration and understanding as we re-learn these timeless principles for the first time in our physical lives, and there is a very definite ecstasy that this produces, which many people are now hungrily scouring the Internet and the bookstores to try to experience. This is all part of the illumination process, the gathering of information in preparation for an intensely personal experience of initiation that can never come from any outside source. The author of this book had to discover its elements piecemeal over the course of many years, and gradually, laboriously work over these concepts in his mind again and again to find the most suitable way to present them to the public. Many of these findings were quite exhilarating the first time they were encountered, and became an intimate part of everyday life; a lens through which all other experiences in life, even the most mundane, could be perceived.

It is now the joy of the reader to find all of these gathered pieces synthesized together into one grand symposium, so that tireless years of research do not need to be redone and an accurate composite of “The Big Picture” can be viewed.
