Book report- Emergency

Recently i have read the Neil Strauss book Emergency. it was first lent to me by a friend. i was only two chapters in when it became obvious that i needed my own copy.

This is not my usual read. usually i read philosophical or scientific books so a book that is advertised as a survival manual is not something that i would usually pick up but this is one is very different.

its part the diary and thoughts of the author as he makes the change from music critic to survivalist covering his training and obsessions and in part its a tip guide for budding survivalists.

its much more of a story than it may first appear though and its very well written, Strauss tells the reader in great detail about his fear of terrorism, random events and the government and then catalogues his new skills.

although he passes many of his experiences on he does not divulge very much in the form of actual usable information. its really to be considered much more of a story than manual.

i would recommend anyone to read this book simply because it is such a great story at the same time it caters too the mind set of us paranoid folks exceptionally well.

Its not a David Icke style masterwork of paranoid philosophy but it is very real and very honest, an essential read.

Book Report: Valis, Philip K Dick.

Valis By Philip K Dick

I have literally JUST finished reading ‘Valis’. I have consumed it in just a few days. I do not read allot of fiction and would usually not write a ‘Book report’ about it but this is a little different, was first pointed in the direction of the book when listening to an interview with Neil Kramer on Red Ice Creations Radio.

The Book is something of an anomaly, I honestly could not go into any depth on it even if i tried but i would say that ‘Valis’ is not a science fiction book but instead it is a semi-fictional theological work where a character searches for an entity that may or may not be god.

the story moves through themes involving the duality of time, popular culture and mortality.

It is a heavy read and in places appears to make no sense, the sense however is occluded by the drip fed nature of the story. If your interest is in the nature of reality or searching for higher meaning then its an amazing read.

Book Report: The Atlantic Blueprint

I picked this book up after it was recommended via a guest on Red Ice Radio and I finished reading it a fortnight ago.

anyway I present to you my thoughts on the book more than a review.

The Atlantis Blueprint by Rand Flem-Ath and Colin Wilson.

HERE is the Amazon website link.

The book is based on what appears to be hard research and all sources are given at the back. the basic topic is the idea that civilisation is far older than mainstream history leads us to believe with a global sea going culture. it then talks about locations of these lost civilisations and makes a very good case for the lost contentment of Atlantis being under the ice of Antarctica.

the book makes it cases very well but suffers a little but from having two authors who have differing writing styles, in placed they presented what seams to be irrelevant information and then later in the book switch from an anecdotal style of narrative to a more scientific one that throws the reader a little and detracts from the information being presented.

The information given in this book is excellent though and leaves little room for dispute. i was entertained how the authors where desperately trying not to confirm or deny concepts such as extra terrestrial interference in human history but it does appear that this is a very real possibility when you look at the facts but the writers really want to keep it to provable history and reputable theory.

I would say that all in all its an average read with an above average topic. i would recommend this to anyone with an interest in ancient history or Atlantis mythology.

Book Report: Infinite Love is the only…..

as a diligent blogger and committed seeker I have decided to start providing reviews of the books i read that maybe of interest to the RHE readers/listeners.

So, why wait any longer, here is the first one.

this is a short outline of the book. just to give you an idea about what its about.

Infinite Love is the Only Truth - Everything Else is Illusion: Exposing the Dreamworld We Believe to be Real

Written By David Icke

Amazon UK link

Okay, so first off, its not a new book, i never said i was going to be at the cutting edge but i did read it recently.

The book is a good and solid read, its what we have come to expect from David Icke, it starts by educating you briefly outlining the body of his work covering the global conspiracy and his views on reality and money

Gladly he short keeps this opening as anyone who has read his earlier books will have read this time and time again, the book then moves swiftly on to the nature of reality and is pseudo religious in its description of how reality its self was created but thankfully the author points out readily that this is his personally uncovered information and he does not think you should blindly believe him.

The main body of the book covers David Ickes concept of interdimensional entities controlling reality and goes into some depth about how reality is little more than a level of a 3D videogame, it does make sense as you read and some of the content is enlightening and almost awakening.

as i was reading it i constantly felt as if the book was going to unlock some deeper realisation than it did at the time, that being said however in the time since reading it i have found myself thinking about some of the ideas talked about in it, and that is the sign of a well written idea.

its the best David Icke book i have read to date and hopefully is work will move in that direction more and more, its deep and outlines some fantastic ideas yet still challenges you to question it. i would advice anyone with an interest in the big questions to read it.
