This book is in the process of being written up. The attached is research notes that you will find enlighting, to say the least. It is all about world peace and how reincarnation is in all five main religions
After reading more than 1,000 books over the past 50 years … I don’t think I have ever encountered anything like this book. If you think stream of consciousness is weird … you are not going to like this book at all. To begin with … the entire book is just block quotes pulling from other authors with only a nominally common theme (which is, of course, aliens aka Pleiadians). Sources include such gems as: Messages from Margaret by Gerry Gavin, Journey to Atlantis by Norma Milanovich, The Yoga of Jesus by Paramahansa Yogananda, and a host of others that introduce a boat load of marginal new age channeling unsupportable lunacy … which would be a lot more entertaining if it were all actually organized into something resembling a cogent point. There are a few actually interesting points laced in between the New Age acid trip, but that is because he also pulls in some material from notable scholars in the field of religion and philosophy (such as Karen Armstrong) in such a manner that you are still left wondering what in the world the point of that was … to say nothing of the author's extensive quoting from that gold standard of academia known as … you guessed it … Wikipedia.
So if you are truly into alien conspiracies and just a bit of self-flagellation, the book is available on Kindle Unlimited so you can try it for free …
I was given this free advance reader copy (ARC) ebook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. #TheUniverseCode #NetGalley
The Universe Code by Karl de Leeuw Independently Published, 2018 154 pages Non Fiction / Alternative spirituality, tanscendence, colective consciousness.
This book, written mostly as a dialogue between texts by other authors and words by De Leeuw himself (similar to a documentary tape), talks fundamentally about the power of mental, spiritual and physical metamorphosis that the collective human consciousness possesses. Starting from two fundamental concepts: life and free will, and from the idea that nothing could have existed without an original creative force whose intrinsic desire is that universal consciousness develops to the maximum and that creation expands without limits (different in its nature and function to the traditional concept of God), the basic purpose of the author is to promote world peace through the unification of human consciousness as both means and purpose of life, thus overcoming the conflict involved in the opposition of systems of thought, ideologies and religions.
Karl de Leeuw presents the universe as a complex object whose operation is analogous to a ubiquitous and advanced computer system in which Creation, angels (entities with a human-like nature but a much more developed consciousness), human spirit as collective, animals, plants, and minerals are all active elements of a single consciousness with a common purpose. In this system, the information from all possible dimensions is stored in a sort of computer server that can be accessed at any time and from anywhere, thanks to the connection and activation of the energy that flows continuously throughout the universe through all the seemingly empty spaces.
Analyzing and contrasting the main ideas of the canonical books of the five major religions existing on earth, the author reconciles creationist and evolutionist theories through the idea that, although natural evolution exists and is evident, earthly humans are not products of it, but of a genetic manipulation by ancestors with a higher degree of consciousness and knowledge who in turn went through a similar point in a very remote past, and whose legacy is implicit in our DNA, in the history of humanity and even within the scriptures that are considered as sacred.
The book is very well structured, is quite entertaining and understandable and includes hundreds of citations with the proper references to the documentation that supports the ideas expressed in it. Some quotes are repeated in various chapters when the subject requires it, but in general the information included is quite extensive and covers a variety of topics related to the central idea, that could even span several volumes.
I recommend this book to free minds that are sufficiently willing to accept that we are part of an infinite universe conformed as a network of creative energy, that we are capable of transforming everything with the power of consciousness and that our individual and collective mental and spiritual evolution depends on our openness to the unity of the whole.

The Universe Code, de Karl de Leeuw Publicación Independiente, 2018 154 páginas No Ficción / Espiritualidad alternativa, trascendencia, conciencia colectiva.
Este libro, escrito mayoritariamente a manera de diálogo entre textos de otros autores y palabras del mismo De Leeuw (similar a una cinta documental), habla fundamentalmente sobre el poder de metamorfosis mental, espiritual y física que tiene la conciencia humana colectiva. Partiendo de dos conceptos fundamentales: vida y libre albedrío, y de la idea de que nada pudo haber existido sin una fuerza creadora original cuyo deseo intrínseco es que la conciencia universal se desarrolle al máximo y que la creación se expanda sin límites (distinto en su naturaleza y función al concepto tradicional de Dios), el propósito básico del autor es fomentar la paz mundial mediante la unificación de la conciencia humana como medio y propósito de vida, superando así el conflicto que supone la contraposición de sistemas de pensamiento, ideologías y religiones.
Karl de Leeuw presenta al universo como un objeto complejo cuyo funcionamiento es análogo a un ubicuo y avanzado sistema informático en el que la Creación, los ángeles (entes con una naturaleza similar a la humana pero una conciencia mucho más desarrollada), el espíritu humano como conjunto, los animales, las plantas y los minerales son todos elementos activos de una conciencia única con un fin común. En ese sistema, la información proveniente de todas las posibles dimensiones se almacena en una especie de servidor informático al que se puede acceder en todo momento y desde cualquier lugar, gracias a la conexión y activación de la energía que fluye en todo el universo a través de los espacios aparentemente vacíos.
Analizando y contraponiendo las ideas principales de los libros canónicos de las cinco religiones mayores existentes en la tierra, el autor reconcilia las teorías creacionista y evolucionista mediante la idea de que, si bien la evolución natural existe y es evidente, los humanos terrestres no somos producto de ella, sino de una manipulación genética por parte de antecesores con un grado de conciencia y conocimiento mayor que a su vez pasaron por un punto similar en un pasado muy remoto, y cuyo legado está implícito en nuestro ADN, en la historia de la humanidad e incluso en las escrituras que se consideran sagradas.
El libro está muy bien estructurado, es bastante ameno y comprensible e incluye cientos de citas con las debidas referencias a la documentación que respalda las ideas vertidas en él. Algunas citas se repiten en diversos capítulos cuando el tema así lo requiere, pero en general la información incluida es bastante amplia y abarca una diversidad de temas relacionados con la idea central y que bien podrían abarcar varios tomos.
Recomiendo este libro a las mentes libres que estén suficientemente dispuestas a aceptar que formamos parte de un universo infinito conformado como una red de energía creadora, que somos capaces de transformarlo todo con el poder de la conciencia y que nuestra evolución mental y espiritual particular y colectiva depende de nuestra apertura a la unidad del todo.
Oral histories have become popular in writing, especially in the sports world. The style de-emphasizes prose, focusing mostly or entirely on quotes from people who played a role in an event. They can be captivating, gathering momentum from recollection to recollection. It’s like the reader is sitting in a circle with a group of people listening to them recount one of the most consequential days of their lives.
Karl de Leeuw employs the same strategy in “The Universe Code.” It’s less a book and more a compendium of quotes and passages from dozens of other publications that point the way toward the author’s hypothesis. In fact, de Leeuw culls from some texts so frequently – “Messages from Margaret” by Gerry Gavin, most notably – at times it feels like you’re reading their books.
“The Universe Code” is part of a trilogy of sorts that also comprises “The Dyslexia Code” and “The Healthspring Code.” The other two entries appear to be much more down to earth; this one deals with the cosmos.
“The purpose of the book is world peace and making our planet become an ascended planet,” de Leeuw humbly remarks in one of his intermittent asides. “The research I use makes sense to me and I see the information in the twenty-one chapters like a puzzle with twenty-one pieces. Once you have put the twenty-one pieces together you can see the full picture. … I invite you to make up your own mind if the research contained in ‘The Universe Code’ makes sense or not.”
I consider myself someone who keeps an open mind about most things, and I firmly believe that everyone should be able to believe and do whatever helps them get through life as long as it’s not hurting anyone or anything, but I couldn’t connect with “The Universe Code.”
The author claims to be able to communicate with the Creator via what he calls automatic writing, and many of these responses pepper the pages in between the longer quote passages.
Like that communication process, the book as a whole felt a bit New Age-y to me, with some quite literally out-of-this-world subject matter being used to try to describe the history of Earth and humankind, aliens, the spiritual realm, and how it’s all connected. As I mentioned above, I try not to fault anyone for seeking ways to better themselves and trying to answer life’s enduring questions. And if other readers are able to benefit from the material the way de Leeuw obviously did, that’s wonderful. But, as with everything else, to each his or her own. And this just wasn’t my thing.
THe Universe Code isn't a book to just sit down and read. It's a book you have to study and digest to really understand what it's trying to tell you. It's enlightening, and I was fascinated to find that many of the questions I've had over the decades of my life, about the Bible and about its teachings were addressed here in these pages. A few of the concepts I've developed over the years were affirmed and verified here as well. This is no ordinary book. I recommend it to anyone searching for the truth.
This book was gifted in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
What makes us.....US....? Interesting read.... Loved all the quotes! I especially enjoyed the dive into spirituality and human consciousness. Very thought provoking concepts that would challenge even the most average reader. It's really for us all making a group effort to see real changes. Staying divided as we are now I agree will eventually lead to our downfall.
In general I'm not a huge fan of books that are primarily compilations of quotes and other external sources, but I do think that this one provided a lot of good research material. Actually I would view it like that - a research source. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to explore and expand their spiritual horizons.
