Gods of Eden Discussion

Originally posted by antihippy I think the author starts out with way too many presuppositions. He just assumes outright that intelligent extraterrestrials are the cause of all unexplained aerial phenomena, humans are spiritual beings, old mythological texts are meant to be interpreted literally, and that warfare is the best way to keep people in bondage. Not to say that he can't be right, but he really just speculates from there without first giving much in the way of evidence for these starting points.

First off, the ancient texts are the only evidence we have of what these societies know. Much of what we call "mythology" might actually be more real than we believe these days. Have you read my entire responses here? The author is basing his claims on the translations of the Sumerian texts made by Zechariah Sitchin, one of the foremost scholars that is able to translate these texts, and he has written a series of books called the Earth Chronicles, in which he documents his findings, this is keeping in line with much earlier authors such as Erik von Danaken, or more recently, Graham Hanxxxx. This is obviously speculation, but then again so is everything we know about our own history. Moreover, UFOs have been documented all throughout history, and there is far too much mystery surrounding the Aurora crash or Roswell, to simply be thrown off.

Nothing is truly new; it has all been done or said before. What can you point to that is new? How do you know it didn't exist long ages ago? We don't remember what happened in those former times, and in the future generations no one will remember what we have done back here.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-11

Originally posted by antihippy There are a couple of questions that come to mind while I'm reading. One, why would all these organizations he calls the "Brotherhood" still be interested in promoting warfare and keeping humans in spiritual bondage? Maybe he answers it later in the book, but it's hard to see what these people can possibly gain from doing this. He also has little in the way of evidence for their direct intervention in anything. Another thing is that even if they did have control over certain key power positions, there is no way they could have control over all of them. That's just too much control. Human events are too unpredictable, and there are too many people out there with too many voices and too many ideas and too many guns. My own family has pretty strong political connections and a lot of them have even held offices, and I can tell you for damn certain that none of them are mystics and none have ever been under the influence of extraterrestrial intervention into their decision-making.

There is obviously a reason why certain events happen and politic groups manipulate. The key is control, and the author made it clear. To divide and rule, and make people dependent on the system, akin to an animalistic slave race, i.e. disrupt any attempt of humans to regain that spirituality. To me at least, he was clear.

I read the first 6 chapters, and I'll try and finish the book when I have the time, but in my own opinion so far...I don't like the book, it's hard for me to take any of it seriously, it's kinda funny some of the things he says and the way he thinks, his whole logic of the alien concept just seems to weird and bizarre...but the way he talks about it, he sounds so dead serious and its not a laughing matter to him, he even says it in the beginning that people who don't believe shouldnt read the book..he kinda scares me

p.s. I didn't read this entire thread, and I would've posted more, just dont have the time. man how do you guys have the time to read, post, and go to school??

Plus you suck, have you been reading? Let's kick off a discussion shall we?

[loseyourname]

I'm up to Chapter 24. I'd like to see someone else join in. It's always me and the mouse, me and the mouse.

The bit about the worthlessness of paper money and central banks controlling the political machinations of modern nations seems interesting. We should discuss that.

Okay, sounds good. Chapter 24 eh? Hehe nice. As far as the banking dynasties, Bramley simply covers it on the surface, there are way too many books on the subject that go into the details of how the banks manipulate nations via control of the money system, and I've mentioned some of them in my list of books.
