Brief Old Testament references to a former civilisation that was destroyed by the Flood have fascinated scholars for centuries, giving rise to exotic speculations ranging from the advanced technology of Atlantis through to extraterrestrial visitors. But it is only now that one British researcher’s ten-year quest has brought together the entire body of accounts of an antediluvian race from across the globe - from the ancient texts of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece and Scandinavia, to the sacred traditions of indigenous peoples from the Americas, Africa, Indonesia and Australasia – with stunning results. GENESIS UNVEILED: The Lost Wisdom of our Forgotten Ancestors is the result of that painstaking quest, and its conclusions are unlike anything you have read before. Like other notable revisionist historians, Ian Lawton argues that our forebears were far more culturally advanced than has been previously believed - to the extent that they built sizeable settlements and navigated the oceans to trade. He backs up this belief with tantalising evidence from archaeology. Yet the most significant common theme uniting the ancient traditions is that our ‘forgotten race’ was originally highly spiritual but became increasingly obsessed with the material world before it perished in a global catastrophe – which geological and other evidence suggests occurred around 11,500 years ago. Throughout Genesis Unveiled the author’s reinterpretations of ancient sacred texts are underpinned by a spiritual ethos based on the principles of karma and reincarnation. So the catastrophe is seen as a karmic event brought about by our forgotten race’s fall from grace. As to how a spiritual worldview was first brought into human consciousness, he argues that underlying the various accounts of the creation of man and of mankind’s ‘civilisation’ by various ‘sages’ is the genuine reality that the genus Homo had at some point evolved sufficiently in physical, psychological and physiological terms that it was ready to play host to the first advanced souls to incarnate in human form. He argues that this would have represented the most significant cultural impetus ever to the evolution of humanity, and that it can be practically tied into the first signs of ritual burial in the archaeological record, which date back 100,000 years to a site in Israel. This surely represents the point at which our ancestors first appreciated that the soul lives on after death, and that there are ethereal realms in addition to the physical world around us – a view that would lead tens of thousands of years later to the wonderful shamanic cave paintings of Western Europe. Yet perhaps the most stunning scholastic discovery in Genesis Unveiled is Lawton’s revelation of the incredible consistency and esoteric wisdom of all origin myths right across the world, which has been completely overlooked by orthodox scholars who insist on purely psychological interpretations. Moreover, the timeless and universal truths contained in them have been dramatically reconfirmed by modern theoretical science in recent decades, with the revelations that everything is energy, that matter is an illusion, that everything is interconnected, that everything has consciousness, and that there are multiple other dimensions beyond the apparently physical. As a result, the author is able to lay out a philosophical and historical framework that merges a scientific, evolutionary perspective with a spiritual worldview - with no inherent conflicts or contradictions. Above all, Genesis Unveiled emphasises that the theme of a debased and materialistic culture that perished when it lost touch with its spiritual roots is one that we should heed carefully - for if we can come to recognise the path we are now treading as one our ancestors have been down before, we may be able to fundamentally alter our priorities and reconnect ourselves with our spiritual roots before universal karma once again decides enough is enough… Genesis Unveiled represents: 1. The first serious attempt to bring all the precatastrophe texts and traditions from around the world together for comparison. 2. The first time the catastrophe of 11,500 years ago has been viewed in its proper context as a karmic event based on our antediluvian ancestors fall from spiritual grace. 3. The first time the incredible consistency and esoteric wisdom of the origin traditions from all around the world has been revealed. 4. The first philosophically logical merger of a spiritual and scientific worldview. 5. The first attempt at a spiritual prehistory of mankind with relevance to the modern world.

History

Ancient Civilizations

Virgin Pub

For thousands of years our view of the afterlife has been handed down to us by a variety of prophets and gurus. But in the last few decades thousands of ordinary people have been taken back into their 'life between lives' in the light realms. Their consistent reports are the most profound source of spiritual wisdom ever available to humanity. And now two researchers have decided to push this source to its limits. It is important enough that we should understand what happens to us between lives: how we receive energy healing to lighten our vibrations; how we review our lives without judgment from higher beings; and how we choose and plan our next lives along with close soul mates, in order to face the lessons and experiences that will most allow us to grow. But what if we could use the interlife experience to answer a host of more universal questions of spiritual, historical and philosophical importance? What if multiple regression subjects came up with consistent answers? And what if they displayed wisdom so profound as to be way beyond any normal human capacity?

The Little Book of the Soul: True Stories That Could Change Your Life

Rational Spirituality Press

Rational spirituality: surely this is a contradiction in terms? How can spirituality be rational, when it relies on faith and revelation? The simple answer is it does not have to any more...There is persuasive evidence from near-death and out-of-body experiences that the physical brain is merely the instrument through which our soul consciousness expresses itself in the physical world. There is equally persuasive evidence from children and adults who spontaneously remember past lives, and from past-life and interlife regression, that we are individual souls who reincarnate to experience and grow.A careful analysis of skeptics' arguments in each of these areas of research proves in most cases just how reductionist, and in fact illogical, they are. Nevertheless not all the evidence put forward by believers stands up, and careful discrimination is required. Such a balanced and in-depth critique of both sides of the argument is rare if not unique. Equally unique is the accompanying collation and comparison of the interlife regression research of a number of pioneering psychologists.But what of the idea that 'we are all One', which is the universal message of all transcendental experiences? Can it be squared with the idea of the individual, reincarnating soul, or is this merely an 'illusion' in itself? Perhaps the answer lies in a theory of total elegance and simplicity... that of the 'holographic soul'.

The Big Book of the Soul: Our Many Lives As Holographic Aspects of the Source

Was our planet once populated by a lost civilization that was destroyed? A fundamental reappraisal of the most revered ancient texts and traditions from around the globe, coupled with archaeological and geological evidence, suggests that it was. But what were our antediluvian ancestors like? Rather than huddling in caves to escape the ice age, were they expert navigators and astronomers who traveled far and wide? And did they have access to incredible technology, or was their culture defined far more by its spirituality? Indeed, what was it that caused the massive surge in culture that began around 75,000 years ago and led directly to the evolution of the modern human race? What ongoing impetus allowed it to snowball so rapidly, compared to the slow but steady evolution of our hominid forebears over millions of years? Were divine sages really sent to introduce civilization to humanity, and if so how can we understand who or what they really were? Some sort of gods, or angels, or extraterrestrial visitors? Or were they just highly experienced souls incarnating on earth with a job to do, as they still do to this day? Is there evidence that our forgotten ancestors were almost completely wiped out? If so, how did this happen, and when? And was it just a random natural catastrophe, or was there an underlying 'karmic dynamic' related to their increasing preoccupation with the material at the expense of the spiritual? Most important of all, did their destruction have anything to do with universal energetic cycles? And, if so, what can we learn about the future we now face in the modern era? Are we once again surfing the crest of a huge energetic wave? The veiled pointers to our hidden past have finally been unmasked as more than just the psychological constructs of philosophically primitive cultures. History is repeating itself. But what will happen this time round? And is the script already written... or can our actions now still help to dictate the outcome?

The History of the Soul

Together these three short books provide an easy, one-stop introduction to the sort of modern, spiritual approach to life now adopted by so many in our society, yet still largely ignored by the mainstream media. We start with THE LITTLE BOOK OF THE SOUL, which uses a storybook style to present a number of cases of near-death experience and past-life recall. Such as the Indian girl with memories of a past life, who astonished her former husband by reminding him how he had borrowed money from her just before she died. This truly fascinating evidence underpins a rational approach to spirituality, and is interspersed with helpful summaries and analysis. This is followed by YOUR HOLOGRAPHIC SOUL, which tackles the big, universal questions like who or what is God, why are we here, is everything just an illusion and even why is the universe itself here at all? It uses the answers to build a simple theoretical framework that we can all use to make sense of our lives. It then lays out ten hugely important suggestions for how we can apply this understanding in practice, so we can help ourselves to get the most out of our time on this wonderful planet. The last book of the trilogy is THE FUTURE OF THE SOUL, which again uses a question-and-answer style to present some incredibly positive yet grounded messages from channeled sources about 2012. These include that everything is just as it should be; that so many souls are on earth now to take advantage of an incredible opportunity that has been known about, planned for and eagerly awaited for thousands of years; and that the attention of the entire universe is trained on our humble little planet because no one knows the outcome. Above all they emphasize that the global shift in consciousness with which more and more people are resonating is already happening, and that the most important time is NOW! Which is why the aim of this book isn't to preach to the converted so much as to help even more people to wake up to their spiritual self, and to the incredible opportunities open to all of us right now. The sort of people who have no fixed views about religion or spirituality, and probably haven't even had much time to think about such things before, but are now ready to open up - especially when presented with a new, grounded, rational approach. If that's you, your incredible journey starts right here...

The Man Who Didn't Die

A new consciousness is emerging on planet earth  huge swathes of the human population are waking up  to the incredible truth of who and what we really are  and now the next pieces of the jigsaw reveal  a power in each of us way beyond our wildest imaginings…  the power of our SUPERSOUL.  In the latter decades of the twentieth century a degree of spiritual consensus emerged. It centered around the idea that we all have a soul that survives our physical death; that lives many lives to gain a rich variety of experience; and that will at some point have overcome the multitude of challenges the human experience has to offer, and move on to grow in other ways in other realms. Some have taken a different tack and focused more on ideas of illusion and addiction, but arguably their influence has remained more on the fringe.  This worldview has served us well as the tide of the new consciousness has gathered momentum. But what if it only scratches the surface of an underlying reality that is far more complex and intriguing?  The clues have been available, scattered here and there, for decades. In Robert Monroe’s pioneering journeys out of his body, when he met with supreme intelligences that he eventually realized were only ‘other aspects of himself’. In Jane Roberts’ seminal Seth channelings, which revealed that he and she were part of the same ‘oversoul’. And in the widely channeled messages from the ‘group entity’ Michael, who describe ‘themselves’ as comprised of many individual ‘soul fragments’.  All these sources remain hugely popular, yet somehow the vital clues they left for us have remained somewhat overlooked. But now they can be pulled together into a worldview potentially enhanced by scientists who propose a fundamentally holographic and digital reality. A radical worldview that opens up huge new possibilities for us all as we collectively pioneer the most radical change in human consciousness ever witnessed on planet earth.

Do you want to know what it's really like to die? Would you like a state-of-the-art guide to the afterlife? Thanks to a variety of modern sources, now you can prepare yourself... with the most reliable information that's ever been available. For millennia various prophets, gurus, visionaries and mystics have given us descriptions of what happens after death. Their tales of assorted heavens and hells have inspired and terrified in equal measure. But their use of symbolism and archaic language can be baffling. What is more the reliability of their accounts is questionable. The good news is that now we have a variety of more modern sources. For example, ordinary people who have passed over and 'channelled' reports of their experiences via human mediums. Increasingly too we are hearing from those who have visited the afterlife planes when 'near death'. Perhaps even more important are the pioneering 'out-of-body' explorers who have learned to repeatedly and deliberately expand their consciousness so as to experience other planes of reality. The reports are remarkably consistent, both within and across each source of information. Now they can all be brought together to produce a simple,up-to-date guide to an afterlife we'll all experience sooner or later. One that contains myriad possibilities. These range from various heavens created by the collective human expectations of different religious groups, to personal hells where misguided souls insist on punishing themselves. To those involved these experiences appear just as real as earthly life, yet all represent varying degrees of illusion. Most of us enter the afterlife in ignorance. But if you're ready to take advantage of modern discoveries, this guide will dispel the illusions and free your soul to expand into realms previously attained only by the few. Realms of supreme lucidity, awareness, unity... and, above all, love.
