There is great information about the Freemasons. There is confirmation of technology I suspected from watching SciFi. If you like Stargate: Atlantis, you will enjoy this book. Whether or not it’s true I don’t know. But some of what is said reminds me of THE TRAP by David Icke....more

He is a researcher who looks at the facts to come to a conclusion the best he can. He points the finger at the Freemasons and Satanists. He is current on all the mainstream media topics of 2022. I enjoyed his quick wit and philosophical mind. It was easy enough to understand his explanations of the Matrix and esoteric knowledge....more

Prim is beyond her years by telling Katniss that the Capital will use Peeta to break her. It’s hard to know if the reader should trust Peeta’s or Katniss’ instincts. As always, the message is clear to me. Collins does such a great job of delicately balancing the truth but not going too far graphically for her young audience. “Bread and Circuses” says it all about humanity when they grow apathetic. I hope many take the Hunger Games series as more than entertainment....more

There is President Snow, who brings in change and threat to Katniss’ world. The arena is different and the players are seasoned. But it wasn’t enough change for me. I think deeper POV would have helped. The twist comes in the last chapter. The story is fantastically wrapped up and yet I love the foreshadowing. I think the takeaway here is that the hubris of the Capital—“Not even the strongest of the strong will triumph,”—was their undoing. ...more

The first chapter is a great setup for plot and world building. I think the Davos crowd probably get their kicks-and-giggles reading about children hunting each other to remind citizens not to rebel. It is totally believable, more so, over ten years later. I hope the takeaway is for people to come together before “they” destroy us. Three fingers salute....more
There are lots of great tidbits of information in YOU ARE THE MYSTERY. One point I walked away with is how important our thinking is. The Zinks’ quoteThere are lots of great tidbits of information in YOU ARE THE MYSTERY. One point I walked away with is how important our thinking is. The Zinks’ quote from Jane Roberts’ book, SETH SPEAKS, published in 1972, where Seth says, “Thoughts and images are formed into physical reality and become fact.” I don’t think they say who Seth is. They don’t say who a lot of people they speak of are, but some I am already familiar with. They offer in a world of “well-organized” people we would have peace and it would affect our natural environment. I would use the word “well-balanced.” They didn’t go into meditation as much as I would have liked. But basically, I was lead to believe that prayer, fasting, meditation, and whirling are equal and have similar outcomes. It sounds like if we work on ourselves we can change the world. Also, the temple is in you. It sounds like people who have out of body experiences or experience ultra-consciousness events are closer to the knowledge of the temple inside us that somehow reaches God or Love. They also talk about kundalini which I feel is more accurate than what people are currently saying about it in 2022. And there is a section on dreams. The book is a good jumping off point to find areas of study in ultra-consciousness....more
For those who don’t believe advanced beings were on this planet with advanced technology before us should read Graham Hancock’s FINGERPRINTS OF THE GOFor those who don’t believe advanced beings were on this planet with advanced technology before us should read Graham Hancock’s FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS. Finding out the three Giza pyramids reflect the three stars in Orion’s Belt and the Nile River reflecting the Milky Way is significant. And it seems the pyramids were built for the future. During the Pyramid Age, 2,600 to 2,400 B.C., one could see Orion’s Belt from the southern shaft of the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid. Robert Bauval investigated further and says the shaft targeted Al Nitak, the lowest of the three belt stars. Bauval found that the southern shaft of the Queen’s Chamber focused on Sirius during the Pyramid Age. Hancock says the information coincided with geological findings of Robert Schoch and John West that there was a high civilization in Egypt in 11,000 B.C. Bauval believes the astronomical event is linked symbolically to the mythical First Time of Osiris. Mythology of Ancient Egypt links Osiris with the Orion constellation and Isis with Sirius. Bauval thinks the pyramids are a machine.
I did not get the feeling the gods are gods, but advanced humans (Maybe ascended masters?) sometimes here to help us. The Mesoamerican history has been one of my favorites for years. Hancock covers the ancient cities of the Americas and people who come to help humanity and then another person who comes to destroy.
Another topic that comes up is Noah’s flood or a flood. It seems that there was a climate change caused by the ice getting heavy and breaking and at the same time the lithosphere moving possibly causing a flood. The Hopi believe we are in the fourth world and that spirit will consume us with fire if we do not change our ways.
Is there something in the cosmos that can tell us what will happen? Can the Giza pyramids tell us the future? Some say yes. There is a definite feeling of as above, so below. ...more

I liked the beginning of Runciter visiting his wife at a moratorium. The story goes full circle ending where it started. I had a hard time believing some of the story, but then there is a little explanation at the end. But mostly I don’t enjoy unreliable narrators. I felt strung along trying to figure out Joe Chip’s and Runciter’s purpose. I love how PKD dives into philosophy and questions everything. Doing some research on PKD explains a lot and what he is trying to get at. His mind and life are fascinating....more

I knew something bad was going to happen, but I was so wrapped up by my favorite things like Shakespeare and harps and magical places. Sinclair's narration and voice remind me of Charlotte Brontë. The title of the book is what first captured me. What a well-researched story with captivating characters!...more

I have read a lot of research books a The Stones of Atlantis looks at the Bimini Road at every angle from science to history to psychic archaeology. I have read a lot of research books and this one is well written and the author has gone on many expeditions to Bimini and with the U.S. Navy. It’s very interesting what the psychics have to say about who built the sacred site and when and why. There is also a fascinating part about the Pleions, which I would refer to as Pleiadians, who built on Bimini. It also shines a light on the good parts of Atlantis. The fall of Atlantis is where we are today. We are repeating the past. The Pleiadians tried to help us then and are trying again now. We must raise our consciousness. The appendices also include Plato’s Critias and an explanation of basic sacred geometry....more

I will get something different out of it every time. PKD is an artist. I loved the dystopian setting in San Francisco. I loved the back-story of robots from Mars. I even loved the robots except for Pris’ spider mutilation. The compassion comes from the humans and their need for animal companionship. The philosophy of Mercerism added depth to the characters. This is must read science fiction....more

Another couldn’t care less about his own ass as he stays close to the ocean and shepherds the whales, marine biologist Ken Balcomb. And some only think about saving their own asses, those funded by the U.S. Navy—the ones in “War of the Whales” by Joshua Horwitz—sadly some marine biologists.
I learned that one person can make a difference and by us banding together, the Humane Society and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have a stronger voice in the courts in fighting for the marine mammals. The narration says the U.S. Navy does care about public opinion.
The good news is that one fall the U.S. Naval Academy Environmental Security class read “War of the Whales.” Horwitz was invited to speak at the academy in Maryland and the U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island.
The bad news is the sonar testing continues and by many other countries. Furthermore, if you read any books about 9-11 being an inside job or really do any research on recent wars the U.S. government has waged, you realize the wars were not necessary and therefore the deaths of whales, dolphins, fish, and humans are maddening. I’m not buying the “threat” or for “national security” catchphrases. It’s the warmongers who are the threat to the whales. Here’s a better catchphrase, “A deaf whale is a dead whale.” ...more

Another Frank Herbert book, Children of Dune, shows his mastery of research. It starts out slow and gets interesting by the middle of the book. EmperoAnother Frank Herbert book, Children of Dune, shows his mastery of research. It starts out slow and gets interesting by the middle of the book. Emperor Paul Maud’Dib sounds like a Jesus or a John the Baptist who leads people to their god Leto II. We see the Bene Gesserit influence politics through their esoteric sisterhood. Seeing the future for these people sounds like no matter what the outcome, it’s bad. Leto II and Ghanima’s points of view would have sufficed or at least more of the children and less of the other characters, but hey when an author goes down the rabbit hole of research this is what happens. The philosophical narrative shows the pitfalls of a few, manipulating religion, politics, and everything concerning a civilization. This is such a great book to read right now as our religions, governments, and societies crumble around the world. My review doesn’t do the book justice because like the book I have a lot to say. It’s almost like Herbert discovered what we are taught about Jesus is twisted, and everything else we learn. I love how he makes me ponder....more

There are names and quotes that cannot be denied. Most of the book is fact and almost no conjecture. I particularly enjoyed the section on homeopathy and Prince Charles’ impact. Author Cohen does note that good can come from homeopathy. Prince Charles was one of the first to push Climate Change via the U.N. He also meddled in Israel and Palestinian peace talks. It’s his mother Queen Elizabeth II who seems to run the world by using those in her club the Committee of 300. Oh and then there’s the Vatican. You must read this book. Only time will tell what is the truth....more

Nefertiti and Akhenaten throw coins of gold to the people. (Americans get stimulus checks.) Nefertiti and Akhenaten feed the people bread and wine as Mutnodjmet points out—keeps them happy. (Americans get unemployment checks.) Nefertiti is concerned about the approval of the people only because they have defaced her and her dead husband/Pharoah’s statues. (Americans have the Gallup poll.) The plague sweeps through Egypt. (Coronavirus was supposed to sweep through the world.) The royals and dignitaries go into quarantine in the palace. (People everywhere go into lockdown.) Along with the history, I really enjoyed Mutny and General Nakhtmin’s relationship. ...more

For me, Danny is believable because he’s living a typical lifestyle and is able to empathize with Alex. I love the banter between his brother Kevin and Alex. The story starts out a little slow. I laughed a couple of times as Alex has her oddities. I loved that feeling of looking forward to opening "The Chemist."...more
