I read David Icke's book and found myself nodding my head most of the way through - what he says is true. I searched out a tape of his from a talk he made in 1999, and was astonished to find him making predictions of the "agenda" back then... which have already come to pass. Everyone should read this book to become one step closer to "unplugging from the Matrix", from the system that self-polices and controls nearly every human being on the planet. Learn to ask better questions, stop losing your mind into mindless television "programmes" - wake up. The system is trying to dumb us all down so we won't notice what is really happening... ..before it is too late.
Revealing and straight to the point!

This book is awesome. It is just telling me what I already suspected. The reptilian theory could be explained better, what the author is saying is that the inner, deeper part of us (the subconscious, also called the ego) is the entity that creates the reality we experience. this hidden part of our psyche is controlled and orchestrated by the deepest and oldest part of our brain which is a relict from the reptilian species, that is why David refer to them as the controllers of our reality. they are really ourselves and the seeming duality is just an illusion created by the act of separation (I hope I didn't lose you there...). Quantum physics should shed some light on the inner working of this concept. Overall: EXCELLENT!
Icke finally making progress
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Up to now I've found David Icke's books to be so negative that they contributed to the problem (by inducing fear and worry) rather than the solution. This is the very first of Ickes books I thoroughly enjoyed. It contains humor, wit (especially the chapter "The God Program" is hilarious and refreshing) a much broader perspective on life (life IS basically vibrational frequency) and some genuinely interesting information I hadnt encountered anywhere else. Where most authors copy from others, Icke truly comes up with unique and original viewpoints on topics we know. As is usual with Icke books, the "Positive Solutions" section is a bit sparse. In addition to this book I'd personally recommend the book "Ask and it is given" by Esther Hicks, to learn how to raise your vibrational frequency effectively.
Icke's most impressive awareness expander so far
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
David Icke's new book picks up where the final section of his Tales From The Time Loop left off - in examining the nature of consciousness and reality. There is less focus on the details of Illuminati history and more examination of how all is a virtual reality game - the "Matrix," generated by Consciousness itself to challenge itself and explore the possibilities of existence when separation and limitation are the basis of perception. Icke throws in a number of interesting photos, including his nude self from I am Me I am Free, Neil Hague's metaphysical art, holographic 3D images, and Dr. Emoto's water crystals as popularized by the What The Bleep Do We Know movie. This book seems to me a positive step for Icke, but the title is problematic due to the nature of associations of the world "love." All things considered, this a great book to expand your mind with and help in deprogramming onself from the confines of this experiential reality matrix. The illusions exist only as consciousness perceives itself in limited (filtered, programmed) ways. Icke is a truly groundbreaking author in connecting holistic science, spiritual development, and research into dark polarity power structures. By helping us understand these topics he has employed some nice wit and come to the realization that it's all an Illusion of sorts. Nice work David!
Trailer park Advaita for the unwashed!

It has taken David Icke 15 years (since his epiphany in 1990) and umpteen books to reach the same conclusions that he could have jumped to in 15 minutes spent reading about Ramana Maharishi. Stripped of all the breathless scattershot verbiage, the message boils down to (as the title says) "Everything is an illusion". Individual human consciousness units are game pieces trapped in an artificial Matrix - a web of deception designed to milk fear and other negative emotions for use as energy for its own sustenance and expansion. Pretty much everything you could roll out as a topic for conversation is just another brick in that wall - space, time, nature, DNA, science, religion, technology, art, education, medicine, and of course the financial system and the endless wars - you name it. The shape-shifting reptilians for which David Icke was once radically famous are now pretty much demoted to minor bit-player operatives in the overall scheme (and even come in for a bit of sympathy). The book's message really is pure "Advaita" - the ancient Hindu doctrine that, well, "Everything is an illusion". The part about Infinite Love is so removed from regular human garden variety love (which all its pressures, pains, and fears) that you might as well tag Icke's concept as Advaitic "Self" (big S!) and be done with it. A book like this (in fact most of Icke's books) also really show the influence of the Web on authorship. Anybody can be an instant expert on anything, but that fact-finding power doesn't necessarily confer logic or organization skills. So given all this kvetching, why my 5 Star rating? Simple! I mean the answer to that is simple, and the reason is that Icke presents the same message more SIMPLY and more humorously than the regular Neo-Advaitic authors. The presentation of core concept "Everything is an illusion" by the current crop of Neo-Advaitic authors (no, "Neo" isn't a reference to The Matrix here, it just means the Western 21st century appropriation of classical Advaita by such as John Wheeler, Nathan Gill, Jan Kersschot, and so on) are so bloodless, dull, and humorless that Icke's version cuts through them like a top-end Harley Davidson hog through a kid's tricycle race. Admittedly though Icke gilds the lily a LOT more than those purist Neo-Advait's mentioned, with his digressions about natural health maintenance, sexuality, 9-11 conspiracy, Jewish religious law (he should've gone easier on that particular one, why continue to feed the spurious charges of anti-Semitism?), and on and on. Icke delivers the goods with a lot more sauce and fun than anybody else. However, as usual it is more diagnosis than practical working prescription (maybe it has to be this way, as in Icke's world, one sign you are dealing with The Matrix is the prevalance of RULES governing everything). That does leave us with a bit of a quandry - how to actually eject ourselves from The Matrix? Hmmm, maybe those Neo-Advaita authors are looking a bit better ... O
