Great work, Stardust.
Reading Secret History is an adventure. Once begun there is no turning back.
I love the video. For anyone who hasn't read the book, read it! You will never see the world in the same way again.
It highlights very well the main themes of SHOTW and really makes one want to read, or re-read it.
In the introduction of the book 'Secret History' this is most eloquently expressed:
“the reader will be introduced to the idea that the science of the ancients may have included a very comprehensive knowledge of the deeper reality that present day sciences, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, and astrophysics, are only rediscovering. And here we do not mean that the ancient Egyptians, or Babylonians, or Sumerians, but rather peoples of far greater antiquity then they, and that the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Sumerians, and so on, retained only a distorted and corrupted version of these ideas in the form of myths and legends which they elaborated and utilized in their “magical practices." Further, that it is only in the light of the present day scientific knowledge that the true ancient knowledge, depicted in myths, legends and religious rites can be properly understood. This is not to say that we are suggesting that we understand or have interpreted all of them. We are only saying that there are many ideas in these ancient stories that suggest the former existence of an advanced science that may have enabled an interface between layers, or dimensions of reality, on this planet in archaic times”.
In the Cassiopaea Glossary on ‘Cyclic Time’ it says this:
“In researching ancient cultures, we note that the notion of cyclic history has been forcibly replaced by the notion of a linear one, inevitably drawing to a final conclusive end. This corresponds roughly to the introduction of a vengeful male dominator deity. This is part of a cultural control system and is aimed at suppressing any working understanding of natural cycles of history. Furthermore, a culture dominated by the fear of a final judgment is easier to control.
Secret History treats this subject in great detail.”
this is a great vid , the music just fits , i saw it when it was uploaded in the forum and it still amazes me like the first time
This book is worth exponential multiples times the price in my opinion. (grammar?! :-)
I love the way the video graphically explicates the main themes of the book. I think the video is an excellent companion to the book--pictures can be worth a thousand words.
I get this message from YouTube: "We're sorry, this video is no longer available."
I just went to You Tube and typed in "Secret History of the World" into the search bar and the above video was the top result.
Thanks stardust!
