Philip Gardiner takes the reader on an adventurous and exciting journey which includes ancient cultures, pagan religions, monuments, and ceremonies. He also explores Judaic and Christian religious symbols and stories, Masonic symbols and architecture, quantum energy systems and even bineural brain wave pattern training - all to scientifically search for what constitutes a mystical, other-worldly experience. The author takes a scientific look at ancient and modern human attempts to connect to the mystical realm. Or perhaps more accurately to explore Reality and Life as we know it on a deeper level. He avoids New Age references and also distances himself from any religious belief systems or dogmas. It is a non-biased approach to finding out how ancient and modern mankind connects to the mysteries of the esoteric world. The author uses down to earth understandable language to explain many deep and complex subjects which makes this a very satisfying book to read.

The reader discovers that ancient civilizations, Shamans from cultures around the world who had no contact with each other whatsoever, all used similar symbols, forms, and devices to describe a common experience. In some cases, herbs, drugs, or snake venom was ingested to arrive at this "other realm, an understanding of energy systems, a connection to something believed to be a Higher Realm. Breathing techniques were another means of achieving this experience. The author points out, the ancients who preceded us had a better understanding of the great cycles of life which modern man has only recently discovered. Ancient mankind worked with the electromagnetism of the earth and certain cycles of nature, it took many thousands of years to map and track the stars and measure the effects of time and energy ...History, myths, and legends remind us of customs and knowledge possessed by shamans and religious practicioners which survived into modern times. The author explores Sumerian myths, Celtic traditions, the Hindu gods and godesses, Egyptian religous symbols, the Minoan cultural beliefs, Christian symbols and architecture, Judaic stories, and finds unique connections.

Of particular interest was the chapter on towers and pyramids. It turns out the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually used as a "gateway to other worlds" which means the Egyptians had ceremonies where energy converged within the pyramid based on scientific principles, some of which are quantum in nature. There is a connection between the pyramids and altered states of consciousness which the author describes. Another fascinating discussion is about how rocks, stones, and even the soil can act as an antenna to collect magnetic energy waves. Ancient towers were built as "earth antennas" to generage electromagnetic energy. Another enlightening discovery was the sound frequency of the earth, which is F sharp. Amazingly, Dr. David Deamer a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California in 1988 researched the vibrational frequency of four base DNA molecules. Essentially, he found that F sharp was found present three times in each base collection. So human DNA is harmonically tuned to that of the earth! Another fascinating concept is how human beings are tuned into the stars. Electromagnetic waves surround us and there is an interplay and exchange of energies ... The author makes some startling conclusions and jaw-dropping connections. Overall, this is a highly recommended book to read based on genuine scientific discoveries which connect us to ancient practices in ways unimaginable. Erika Borsos [pepper flower
