1.0 out of 5 stars
It's true - nothing in this book is true!, 18 Feb 2006
I bought this book partly on the basis of reviews writen here.Big mistake - hence this counter review. The book itself is poorly written, poorly researched and poorly presented. It is also very dated, being more of a snaphot of New Age thinking in the early 1990's than any imparting of 'eternal truths' Frissell shows little in terms of discrimination or judgement in the material that he presents. Everything is lazily thrown together and recounted in an unthinking manner. We get a number of discredited and debunked new age myths like the Philadelphia Experiment and The Bemuda Triangle rehashed and served up with the old favourites of Ascended Masters and Galactic Councils et al. Most of the book is a regurgitation of the 'work' of 'Drunvalo Melchizedek' aka Bernard Perona aka 'Akbar'. Unfortunately, Frissells knowledge of sacred geometry is also poor. I suggest anyone who wants to learn about the true origins of sacred geometry refer to the teachings of the father of the art (whom Frissell omits to mention) namely, Pythagorus. 'Sacred Geometry' by Robert Lawlor is well worth a read. Some people may argue that Frissell is using these frankly absurd stories (The Germans landed on the moon in 1947 and in the next dimension we will all be fourteen foot high) as a means of breaking us out of our conditioned consciousness. If that is the purpose he also fails miserably. If you are looking for a book that offers a serious approach to change of consciousness then I thoroughly recommend Robert Anton Wilsons ' Prometheus Rising' and Christopher.S. Hyatts 'Undoing Yourself with Energised Meditation'.
