This book is out there. Drunvalo tells you everything, the secrets of the past and the future for only $25 US. He describes in full detail what will happen when we move into the fourth dimension. He explains why an ancient race of aliens mined for gold in Africa and created humans as slaves (to fix their atmosphere duh!). He even says where AIDS comes from. He talks about Egypt, sacred geometry, indigo children, you name it. All this and more from a Berkley dropout.

These books took me on a Spiritual rollercoaster. So many things are revealed in this book that left me wanting to know more. There are times when the book is very complex; but Drunvalo keeps you in understanding. He doesn't try and confuse the reader, he speaks in terms where another can understand.
If one is willing to truly open their mind, accepting the fact "anything is possible", I recommend this book. Never have I read something that made me feel so full of ligh...more

Interesting subject, but unfortunately the writings of Drunvalo are rather unconvincing to me. The things he writes about are for the most part entirely non-verifiable and of no practical use whatsoever (as is a lot of the information in books of this genre, I agree). What's more, some of the claims he makes are very hard to believe even for me (and I'm pretty open minded). For example, the part where he says that there is a gigantic flying saucer under the Great Pyramid which supposedly rose up...more
One star is pretty harsh but in my personal rating system it means, I didn't finish the book.
Maybe I will someday... But I have to say I was disappointed. I have an open mind-- I've been building sacred geometry orgone producing structures, for go(o)d's sake. In fact this is why I read this book-- so many people told me I should check it out after experiencing my Merkaba.

this book is a definite mindblow. You might need to have gotten through high school math to be able to understand the sacred geometry part, but that's not really the most important part anyway. The most important part is the story. I had a co-worker turn me on to drunvalo a few years ago. He was a lot more excited about it than i was. I really find it no more eye-opening than any other religious text or tree-hugger book. Who knows what the truth is. Usually, the more believable a wacky sp...more
I am just finishing it rite now for the third time around. I have dipped into volume 2 and felt I should go back into this one and see what more I could get from it. This time around was the best and I imagine it can only get better and more astonishing each journey through. For knowing so much, Drunvalo has a very humble approach to his outlook with also having a very unique and irresistible pull to the information given here. If anybody wants to even begin to learn about sacred geometry and o...more
While, overall, I really did like this book and it was a fast read for me there was a lot that left me baffled and not in a good way. There's way too many times that the author says things along the lines of "and this is absolutely correct!". If you need to keep saying that, it will create some doubt for the reader. It was also pretty frustrating for me that he kept implying he would explain something he mentioned in greater detail later on in the book. Most things he did tie together...more

I first read "Nothing in this Book is True" (Bob Frisell) and then started the Flower fo Life books. It is funny how you can read and think this is a lot of BS but then you connect the dots and think maybe it has some substance after all. I must have repeated this line of thinking several times throughout these books but enjoyed every bit of it. One thing is for sure, the Flower of Life is incredible and are found on some of the oldest stone tablets around the pyramids. DiVinci used t...more

When I´m honest I have to admit I don´t understand everything Drunvalo writes about Sacred Geometry. I´m not a genius at mathematics and I had to struggle to comprehend some of his hypothesis, explanations and theories. Nonetheless it is a very interesting book and surely only appropriate for people who are willing to look beyond their own noses and to accept that there are diffierent views of reality.

I actually read volume two first, before volume one. For someone who have difficulties telling my left from my right...you can imagine it wasn't all that easy for me to follow the book. I could understand many of the concepts as a whole, but got lost in the logical explanation of how it's derived. I do not wish to try too hard to logically understand it at this point, and hopefully, if the information written is indeed divinely correct - I'll get to see it someday.

The subject matter the book attempts to cover is quite exciting. However, I crave more science, more thoroughness, and less gaps between what information is here. There is not enough interconnectedness between ideas, and I am left asking tons of questions in the margins of the pages. I suppose such a feat would be difficult to do in one or two volumes which the author admittedly attempts.

This is one of the most dangerous kind of books in which the author claims to know everything about Earth and it past through channeling from some ridiculously-named "higher being". It provides many information, some of which may be true, but everything is written in a twisted, populistic way that lusts for sensation and leaves the most important information about the evolution of mankind like the true meaning of the coming of Christ and the Earth's history as a whole. If you really wa...more
I read this book years ago and its still one of my favs. It takes you on a spritual journey that you will never forget and come back to often. It can have a more text book feel to it which can make it a bit tough to get through but well worth it!
He's always a fascinating read however much of it you believe...he's so sincere and convincing....either a charlatan, a severely deluded soul or an amazing modern mystic. I'd like to believe the latter but the jury is out. But I love his books

This book is soooo intense it's taking me forever to get through it! soooo much info i have to reread quite a bit before moving on to the next chapter!
It's amazing but you need an open mind to get through it.

There is some really interesting information in this book. The parts on sacred geometry are the clearest I've ever read. I wish the author quoted sources on all of his so-called facts, but at least the book is fun to read.
Ok this book shares some insights that my imagination could have never come close to, yet it did seem familiar. Not a novel, but entertained me like on. Not a textbook or resource, cause it had too many holes in it's theories. But a fun ride. I caught myself saying "what the F.." a lot. Better than most books though.

A very important read, but you really have to be ready for it. Some of it is pretty far out!
Great book answers alot of questions. Has great technical info on sacred geometry.
Interesting guy and interesting stories but no practicality in this book.

This book makes me want to take acid. Bad.
A tough read but interesting
This book is pretty insane. The guy talks about all kinds of subjects concerning things like the sumerian tablets, AIDS, Egypt...well...you get the idea.
Pretty fun read but take it with a grain of salt.

Interesting book, ready for volume 2
where has this book been all of my life? sheesh, i should have read this years ago, but i guess it just wasn't time. the sacred geometry stuff was a bit difficult to follow, but everything else i read was like a veil being lifted. he presents it to us in a compelling way, weaving his own personal story into the onslaught of information.
this book and its companion piece are fantastic in my opinion. although i'm neither religious nor do i consider myself spritual at all, these books were very thought provoking and i highly recommend them. at the very least, they're both a really good way to kill some idle time.
This is the most fascinating book I have read to date. It ties together absolutely everything going on in my head right now. It is the convergence of my universe, and I can´t wait to try the meditation described in part 2.
So far its great. I'm almost done!
My goodness this is a great read!!! I'm halfway through book 2 and still am totally intrigued.
