Supernatural Information

By Gregon

The UK release date for Graham Hancock’s next book Supernatural is sneaking ever closer (October 6th), and in preparation for the event GHHQ now has a page dedicated to news about the much-anticipated tome. Basic information about Supernatural can be found there, as well as a brilliant gallery of images by ‘ayahuasca artist’ Pablo Amaringo. The book is available for pre-order from Amazon UK right now, but won’t be available in the U.S. until 2006. From the sneak looks I’ve had of the book, I can heartily recommend this one (it does focus on a lot of my favourite subjects).

    I can’t wait for this book. Especially considering the Intelligent Design Vs Evolution argument is getting tiresome. We need new ideas. Trust Graham to release the right book at the right time.

    Are you going to review this one, Greg? hint hint 😉

      1. I’m a peaceful man

        Darwinian Evolution for Humans has never been conclusively proven. It’s still just a theory. And Intelligent Design is more a belief than a science. Both sides are ignoring other evidence, other ideas. Both sides would have it that they’re the only two choices, like Left vs Right politics … when in reality, there are a lot of amazing things going on in the slipstream between them. Graham Hancock’s Supernatural is one, presenting ideas the public aren’t aware of. It’s sorely needed.

          1. This book like many others ju
            This book like many others just scratches the surface of what an already brillant man has discovered extensively and most completely. Zecharia Sitchen has already discovered the means of our creation, and who created us and the many historical undertakings of the past since Summarians marked the beginning of our inception. Everything he has written has all been based on physical evidence which include the deciphering of Summarian tablets, structures and geological features. His first book is called the 12th Panet, which is part of a series of several books. He has more books and additional information/discoveries on his site that you can view here at your convenience http://www.sitchin.com/. This man is the key to the truth and you will be simply astonished.

            Fare well and God bless.

            ZS is just another lunatic on the fringe of a very bad haircut. his ridiculous dribblings don’t bare a lot of relation to reality – most of his important figures in his books are just plain flat out wrong according to any authority you care to investigate. ZS’s version of the Sumerian tablets is not corroborated by any one else on the planet and while they make for really entertaining reading, they basically have about as much credibility as the cobbled together version of history commonly believed to be ‘god’s word’ named the bible – which is also a big heap of piss and wind, with only a passing relationship with actual historic events.

            the problem with all this stuff is it only makes sense if you cross reference ZS with people like Graham Hancock – once you step outside the circus ring publications about this type of stuff and look at some of the actual scholarly work on this type of matter (millions and millions of pages worth, completed and cross referenced by thousands of academics over hundreds of years) it becomes apparent that the vast majority of the material is just insipid sci-fi masquerading as ‘secret research’ or what-have-you. i’ve found it all very entertaining for years – although the age of the Sphinx is a genuine debate in my opinion, a majority of the ‘facts’ (bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) are just made up or deliberately misinterpreted after being removed from their original context and the ‘figures’ used are generally speaking also deliberately quoted from outdated or unreliable sources in order to support the outlandish and fanciful imaginations of the writers – i suppose they’re able to get away with this sort of thing because a) all western society is based on the concept of unswerving dedication to a moralistic dogma based on arab myths from thousands of years ago (that’s Christianity in case you didn’t get it) so we tend to be deistic in the core of our conceptual assumptions, requiring a ‘higher being’ to be our creator in order to satisfy an ineffable deistic or religious urge and b) the present trend in post-modern thought to apply scientific rigour to cultural texts written down thousands of years before the concept of empiric investigation was conceived of. Personally i worry that our cultural direction is so impoverished given how explicitly the ‘intelligent design’ (there’s an oxymoron 4 u) vs evolution debate illustrates the shortcomings of attempting to view the mythic/spiritual/intuitive through the lense of the empirical logic of science is a farce, and vice versa. Science is about certainties, and while it too rests on a set of assumptions (which can quite legitimately be argued with on every level) nonetheless it a valid tool to use to investigate the world about us. Sadly for a lot of scientists, they science is now presented as the new religion, a preposterous supposition for the obvious reason that science is simply the flipside of the coin of pure spiritual activity which has of course always relied on the subtle or ‘inner’ sensibilities, rather than the gross or ‘outer’ senses. Sadly in this time of mass education, people aren’t taught to appreciate the value of the two mindsets and so science and logic run roughshod over powerful and necessary spiritual values and concepts, and in response those of a more intuitive nature respond by rejecting science outright. In times past a few elite types with exceptional education understood this concept, the mergence of yin and yang, logic and intuition, science and myth – but today few people make it through the meat grinder with a balanced view.

            Isaac Newton is a good example – did everyone know he predicted the end of the world for 2060 and developed the arcane art of alchemy toward the goal of creating living gold?

          3. No harm done, I remember you!
            No harm done, I remember you! 😉 I don’t think you responded to my last comment under a different topic a while back. Anyway, I do not agree with some of the things you say on this post, conversely I do infact agree with some. But before I respond I wish to question, have you read all or any of Zecharia Sitchin’s books and what else do you know of him? Maybe we can also talk through some other means as I find this rather limiting towards a decent continual approach to the exchange of esoteric thoughts and ideas on various matters. Regardless, I look forward to your reply.

          4. Hi GB…
            if you choose to slam the door and lock it…….nothing will get in!

    2. I hate Hancock
      GH sucks big time. He’s not presenting any new ideas here anyway, just riding the usual waves of publicity by pumping out the same tired old junk in a new shiny wrapping. It doesn’t sound like anything that hasn’t been done better before, and doubtless without the miserable meandering style Handcock calls ‘writing’ …

        1. George Bush is a tosser
          Xibalba is a cool name – i’m a fan of Major Jenkins, it’s good stuff.

          oh, and excuuuuuuuuse me for having the brains to go out and furnish myself with an informed comment before leaping on the biggest bandwagon in so called ‘alternative thought’ – to be honest at least GH has stolen some higher quality ideas for a change, but let’s face it, if his enormous rundown of what’s in the book is anything to go on, this is not new territory for the genre, it doesn’t open any new ideas and if it’s narrated with the usual lack of interest in direction or writing style then it will be the usual unreadable 50 cent airport tripe – i mean, has anyone noticed he just pumps out books packed with other peoples (mainly very shonky) research?

          1. George_Bush-my reply
            Hm, the previous comment before this should be right here in this one’s place…just thought I’d let you know so you didn’t miss it. I guess because I was replying earlier and my computer got shut down before I was able to complete it and send it, yet it still saved my comment to be placed in that spot when sent later? It seems another comment was moved, or is it just me?

          1. ZS and more
            Everyone needs to be treated kindly, but I believe he hasn’t read any or at least not all of ZS’s books and even have a complete idea on what he is about and has discovered; based on the fact that he makes such hasty generalizations regarding him and discredits his works on assumptions or misleading information that I can disprove with ease (the link I give above has multiple examples that show how he is wrong). ZS work is tremendously extensive, his methods are practically unmatched and the most objective, which is why many scholars have probably not corroborated with him. I mean how many times in the past have most people been wrong and very few right about a particular idea or situation, and doesn’t this even apply to this very day? I am sure you can think of many yourself. He does not work alone, he has many helping him and there are quite a few people that have corroborated with him, including scientists and a man that worked for NASA that he had an interview with, and of which the guy that was interviewed died suddenly after; (they in fact have a tape of the interview)and those are just a few examples in ZS’s defense, which are all on his site in more detail and among much more. And in spite of this he makes it quite evident that he is being presumptuous as he also believes this guys new book by GH is already a ludicrous source of research and information when he hasn’t even read it yet (and I really know nothing about GH). Perhaps some of what GB says is true, but the guy may have some valid points in his new book, and shouldn’t avoid it altogether. But if you are really looking for the best and most valid information based on research (physical evidence) of our creation and past historical events, ZS is your man.

            And about the elitists, you are right, they exist to this very day still carrying out their eccentric designs in belief they are doing the right thing. So of course many scholars wouldn’t agree even if they did, because they want to keep it all under wraps for control and to brainwash everyone. The elitist basically are the “authorities.” And as you know history goes to the victorious (those in power), and the ones in power basically protect themselves covering up any information that would threaten it’s preservation and change it accordingly to fit their motives. The Bible has been changed many times, not only due to this but due to the interpretations of one man to another and/or both simultaneously. And the bible, as you said has only a passing relationship to actual events is quite true, and as misrepresented as they have been written in The Bible and are now they have originated from the Summarian’s historical documentations of the past. And regarding the reasons as why you think people like them are “able to get away with this sort of thing” and what it is they are actually doing-are just stereotypes, and as you even said are based on suppositions; that really have no absolution. But of course I do not deny they may be correct in some or many cases. It’s possible some of the research by some or many people are inaccurate, made-up or as you put “sci-fi masqueradings.” But that is an incoherent and incorrect assertion in relation to ZS’s work. I hope you look at his work and read through it thoroughly so you can see for yourself.

            Everything after, I have nothing but compliance for. I especially agree with your statement on what we miss out (mythic/spiritual/intuitive aspects, as well as morals, virtues and so on) because of certain things implemented into our society that contribute to it and in effect deplete the most necessary values and concepts to have (the elitists are the main contributories and practically responsible for this decadent movement in order to further their control and carry out their agenda). Additionally the irrefutable fact that most of humanity has a certain lacking and deficiency in having a balanced and understanding view of the truth which at the core is paradoxical. Like an intersection of two lines that make a cross, representing the four cardinal points and at the middle of this intersection is the paradox where everything meets.

            Peace be with you

          2. wow
            the scale of your ignorance is stunning – if you’d ever read an archaeology journal in your life … ! well, you may understand just how ridiculous you sound, still, people like you need to believe in some magic fairy land tales involving romantic notions of the ‘creator’, as if that’s not a pretty shallow interpretation of a set of very ancient metaphoric beliefs, none of which you’ve bothered to go out to a library to find out, have you? Well child, peace is already with me, and it sounds like you’re enjoying something more like the bliss of ignorance. personally i can truthfully attest to having read ZS’s entire set of very silly books, and then i donated them to my public library because i don’t have room in my collection for that sort of poncing crap. There’s a reason it’s published by penguin deary, and not Harvard Press or someone like that, and the reason is it couldn’t withstand the pilloring of ZS’s ‘peers’, although to the best of my knowledge his only qualifications are in economics, probably another reason no-one in the philology, archaeology, anthropology or any other university department down that end of campus would have bothered with a paper so a) utterly without scientific merit and b) from someone who earns a living reporting market movements.

            oh, btw, darling – me and all my friends have been to university and we’re aware of the processes both in front of and behind the curtains – yes, science can be an inbred boys club, no-one denies that, but to suggest that everyone who ever looked at the Sumerian tablets (it wouldn’t hurt your case if you could spell the name of the civilisation we’re discussing btw duckie) is included in some gigantic global conspiracy is just sub-moronic, i’m sorry to say. here we are in an age of warfare, people dying from humanity’s inability to co-operate but there among the fray stand a group of grimly determined … philologists … (a-hem! yes, philologists) who stand on the brink of humanity, protecting the true origin of the species from public knowledge – yeah, man. Whatever you’re smoking, i want some!

            look, if one guy stands alone and says ‘god is really an alien from planet X, these tablets prove it’ and the rest of the entire field of science says ‘these tablets record grain handling and seasonal record keeping’ (as they tend to) then that does it for me. if you want to let yourself get sucked in by every con-artist, sheister, holy-man, preacher and son-of-god you go ahead, but some of us will insist on doing the research based on the huge amount of contrary evidence published by the (shape shifting alien conspirator) academic authorities

            you need to go out and read Hamlet’s Mill, and read a few of ZS critics – the simple facts are, that if you still believe in his stories after you examine his detractors, then fine, it’s a fun myth and if it makes you happy then that’s great, but it’s not ‘true’ any more than the stories in the bible are strictly, literally true. while you’re at the library read ‘who was hiram abif’ as well, not easy to find, but worth the investment of one’s time, if you’re interested in finding out what may actually pass for a version of the truth – which, btw, is a very subjective concept, and not an object at all. but then, having studied a bit of Nietzsche, i would say that wouldn’t i? but then i’m guessing you’re more a ‘sir’ Laurence Gardner fan(atic), since you like the academically devoid fancies of popular pulp tripe more than the hard slog of actual factual researched, indexed and criticised until it bleeds academia (shapeshifting alien weirdies that we all are – btw when actually is it you get your shapeshifting alien card, as it were? straight after graduating in Sumerian philology or do you need a PhD? just curious, it could be a career move – ‘visit mysterious planet X on the edge of the solar system when you get doppelgang(bang)ered by the alien reptiles from beyond pluto all for the simple effort of becoming a Sumerian philologist’ – perhaps that’s the reason ZS is still on earth? because he’s got no qualifications to speak of in any languages or history or least of all philology at all (gasp! – another dream dashed! don’t say i don’t believe in fairies, or a fairy dies! but how do you tell someone not to say ‘i don’t believe in fairies’ without killing more fairies!?’

            people like you believe in the flat hollow earth, angels sent to earth to guide humans, the loch ness monster and any other unsubstantiated bull crap you can get your hands on. in the dark ages you would have the first one to start nailing people up to trees to appease old Astarte and i bet you’re afraid to walk under ladders

          4. well……
            your post has just prooved how smart you are……hehe
