The Ascension Mysteries: Revealing the Cosmic Battle Between Good and Evil

Just finished reading this latest book by the modern hero, David Wilcock. The Introduction and the second half of the book make for wonderful, exciting reading, even for long-time addicts of Cosmic Disclosure and Wisdom Teachings on Gaia. But David takes a real risk in including an autobiography that occupies pages 27 - 240 (Chs. 2-13 for Kindle readers), a risk that many will conclude doesn't ultimately pay off. As one early amazon reviewer suggests, readers new to David and the revelations of his "insiders" may well be discouraged and turned off by the very detailed, frankly depressing account of his formative years. The best advice for most readers may be to read the Introduction, and then begin again at page 241 through the end of the book (Chs. 14-25). David's life-story chapters quickly get bogged down in a sad series of bullying and self-sabotage episodes, all recounted in painful detail. Frankly, it's a drag to read. David might have covered the essence of his misery more concisely in a single chapter or even a few sentences: the exceptionally bright child of creative parents, David's life fell apart when his parents divorced; he began to gain weight and stopped caring about his personal appearance; as a consequence, he was victimized mercilessly in the public schools of Schenectady, NY as the smart, fat kid; eventually he stopped the bullying by the nick-of-time application of martial arts techniques, but he was still an outcast; the few friends he made were callous jerks who bullied him more subtly under the guise of friendship; he got addicted to booze and alcohol quite early and quite profoundly, which only worsened his life; the few bright spots included some girls who, despite his overall appearance, were attracted to his "beautiful blue eyes" and the chance discovery of ABBA, forbidden listening in his household as "disco"; he attended SUNY, described as a notorious party school at the time where he was bullied again and got even more heavily into drugs and alcohol (but no sex); his life was finally turned around by two events - his sociology professor's discussions of the Cabal/Secret Government, and his (imaginary) near-arrest on drug charges; he began attending AA meetings, but dropped out prematurely, probably substituting his addiction to drugs and alcohol with an addiction far more fortunate for all of us - UFOs and conspiracy theory. This gets us to Chapter 14, where the book proper begins, and it's instantly a glorious shot in the arm (as it were) for the flagging reader. Most, but not all, of the material here will be familiar to regular viewers of his Gaia shows, and will certainly blow the minds of newcomers who succeed in slogging through this far. Here's a brief recap of some key disclosures:- Our solar system may have been designed as a kind of “spiritual advancement” farm, with its ultimate goal apparently to bring beings in form (bodies) back to Source/God - this is suggested rather than verbalized- An advanced protection grid was installed around the solar system (over 1 billion years ago), after which the super-advanced builders mysteriously disappeared- There used to be a giant earthlike planet (named Marduk) between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter (now the asteroid belt)- Humanoids on Marduk warred with other advanced civilizations, but apparently not with humanoids on Mars as suggested in David's TV series, and the planet Marduk was destroyed, with Mars all but destroyed in a different catastrophe (both half a million years ago)- This catastrophe shut down the protective grid, allowing negative entities to enter the solar system- The “souls” (or perhaps the bodies?) of the warlike Mardukers were recycled into more human bodies on earth, apparently mixing with the humans already here but distinguished by their gigantism and apparently by their extended skulls (or perhaps these are a different species?)- A negative group of extraterrestrials took advantage of the destruction of the protection grid to invade and essentially conquer Earth (300,000 years ago) – our image of Satan is said to look like some of these beings- The reptilians are said to feed on negative emotions (fear, hatred, terror, etc.), which is called “loosh,” (Robert Monroe was the first author to write about this concept in his "journeys out of the body" accounts, not mentioned here) and it is their intention to make the planet as miserable as possible to feed themselves with this loosh energy- This is at least one reason why life on Earth has been generally pretty grim and miserable throughout human history – the more misery, the more loosh to eat (drink? breathe? David doesn't say)- The former Mardukians (though this is not made very clear - there seem to have been a separate later wave of "fallen angels") - had entitlement issues and have dominated the rest of the human population as royalty and the financial elites- At the end of WWII a large portion of the German ruling elite relocated to vast warm underground caverns under the Antarctic ice- The US dispatched a war fleet to conquer the new German Antarctica, under Commodore Byrd (1947)- The Antarcticans all but annihilated the American war fleet, and as a result, the US President eventually caved in and signed a treaty with the Antarcticans- The new corporate American and Antarctican allies established a “secret space program” in place now and the elite sought to trigger WWIII after which they would re-emerge from underground bunkers to a new world "purified" of all of its surface inhabitants- Fortunately, somebody up there likes us and the world's atomic arsenals were taken down by ETs/ higher density beings, some of whom set up massive spheres in our solar system apparently as a means of restoring the ancient protective grid- An "alliance" of those opposed to the Cabal and reptilians is fighting back (and hopefully this will not prove to be a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss")- The solar system is entering a long-prophecied high-energy cloud area that has the capacity to trigger an "ascension" (hence the book's title) of humanity, or at least the more deserving portions of humanity who follow the advice to "just be nice"- The precise nature of this "ascension" is not clear, but David seems to envision it as an exchange of our physical forms for the "rainbow bodies" attested to in Tibetan Buddhism, or as new spiritual bodies predicted by Paul ("and the dead shall be raised incorruptible").The wild second half of the book nearly makes up for the depressing first half, but it's a close call. Why this long, depressing life story? Just speculating here: David may have realized that the final 11 chapters were simply not enough for a full-length book (at least not those we've been used to from him), or he may have found the opportunity for a public catharsis irresistable (and who can possibly blame him). At one point (pp. 228-29) he blames his early behavior on the elites: "My life had fallen apart, exactly as the power elite had hoped it would." Maybe, but it doesn't register quite that way. David writes that the long bio section is necessary to show why he has become a fighter of cosmic bullies and bad guys, and that does make some sense. As for David's longing for a "rainbow body," he is yet to discover Advaita philosophy which may address his remaining questions. Read David's new book now for its fabulous second half; essential reading, whether it's fact or a new mythology (and perhaps they're the same thing).

I really appreciate that David shared with us many aspects of his life story and how he emerged as the great thinker that he is. I know that was very hard for him to do and he would much rather focus on the science. But that part of the book was not only endearing (and very interesting) but it helped me to draw parallels in my life and the people I know and enhanced my understanding of them. So I'm very grateful that he was willing to put that part down in writing. This book is much easier to read than Source Field Investigations, in fact if you haven't read any of David's books yet, he recommends you start with this one and work back through Synchronicity Key and then Source Field. David's style is easy to read and he has a knack for breaking down difficult concepts in easy-to-understand pieces. As intense as his material can sometimes be, I never feel like I lost the thread. All his books, and this one included, are so full of pertinent, interesting and vital information for navigating the ascension, they will, as he likes to say, blow your mind. I have so much gratitude for you David, for all you do, the way you think, for the help you are bringing to us here at this important time of Earth's Ascension, and for your willingness to teach despite all those shills and trolls you are out to get people like you. And when we get there... I hope to see you there too.

Thank you for the book David. So many questions so little direct face time. I will be brief with my questions. Why does the Cabal say that they want to save us from a corrupt god that restricts us from knowledge, freedom and sexuality, while practicing that very thing (at least with the knowledge and freedom part)? So in essence, they want to save us from themselves?According to all your sources, we have been lied to, systematically controlled and now at the final hour we are to somehow overcome these tremendous odds against us to triumph. Once again the victim is being victimized.Hey, I am all about a very good final reckoning, but the triumph of spirit (our souls) is left to the trust worthiness of individuals, that seem to be a part of the problem, namely the "military-industrial complex". There is an influx of this kind of whistle blowing that does not ring true in my heart.The Law of One while seemingly simply does not in any way hold up to the K.I.S.S. principle. Infinite creation does not require multiple books unless the direction is one of obfuscation. Divine truth does not make victims of subterfuge guilty. But it does take many books/time to try to make that case, much like abusive people.Here is what I trust. My own, my very own experience. When someone tells me I need to be worried about my faith in the creator and his/her will, I must stand up and take notice. As you said in your book, ET's and others have told you about the divine plan. Trust in that and be kind to one another. Faith is not a leap, it is a mere step across to owning experience and acting upon it. Something we have not been investing in, of late. We seem to want to invest in other's experience. The creator has no time line. All is as it should be.I am a devoted servant to our infinite creator. There is never fear associated with divine knowingness (there is no such thing as death) nor a calendar. There is no timeline that exists that has not been foreseen. Rivers, streams and tributaries flow with joy to our infinite creator, no matter the pretenders to engineers. The creator kindly breathes in fear and exhales joy.If safety is in numbers, choose your numbers well. Trust your family, trust those who you count as friends. I am a scholar of dead-reckoning while sailing. Keep your sights true. I know our brothers from a different mother exist. Are. (All Recognize Existence) or as Richard Bach so succinctly put it, everything I just wrote could be wrong.Peace out.

David Wilcock puts a lot of most interesting new thoughts and information in the last third of the book, but the first part was mostly autobiographic, which I did not find particularly riveting. I enjoyed his previous books more, as they had more 'meat' in them. I am sure many people will really enjoy reading the autobiographic part - but it is not to my personal taste. For absolute originality of approach, David Wilcock's writings are way out front..You need to read them if you want to get an idea what is going on in the world behind the scenes.

Having read David's other books I couldn't wait to get started on this one. Thought provoking and intelligently written as always, yet easy to follow. One book leads to another with him, as his sources are impeccably credited and the books he references are easy to get hold of and it draws you in.Highly recommended, thank you for another great work.

As always David creates a fact full yet easy read that is hard to put down

Book described as "very good" was actually "as new". Arrived quickly,well packaged and at a very reasonable price for a hardback.All good!

Excellent book. There is too much in it for me to be able to say more.
