Book Reviews of The Gods of Eden
Book Review: "Aliens Made Me Do It!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Bramley contends in his book, The Gods of Eden, that aliens, via their elite and ultra-secret Brotherhood organizations, are the source of all human conflict. If one really thinks about this, it sounds suspiciously like that old refrain children use when they have done something bad- "the devil made me do it!". Nonetheless, this book includes everything from New Age interpretations of the Bible, the political intrigues of various monarchies and dynasties all over the world, to a wide variety of conspiracy theories on everything from the Black Death of the Middle Ages, the motives behind the First and Second World Wars, and the link between the CIA and the JFK assassination. Literally, no stone, or shall we say, no major event in world history, is left un-turned.
Still, those who are curious enough to read this book completely will know exactly where various plot elements from hit Sci-Fi shows such as the X-files and Dark Skies, as well as many books based on the 'Aliens Are Among Us' theme, came from. For example, fans of John Doherty's Area 51 novel series can see how his story line literally comes from Bramley's work word for word- especially Doherty's plot element regarding alien involvement in the Black Death which pops up in a couple of his novels. Furthermore, Bramley's work is closely akin to the scholarly works of Zecharia Sitchin, the sensationalist accounts of Erich von Daniken and Jim Marrs, and the New Age interpretations of Graham Hancock and Rand Flem-Ath.
However, the book does have its good points. First, it does a very good job of outlining the link between economics and war. Second, it presents the reader with a very thorough and detailed explanation of the world monetary system, how it works, and raises the interesting question of who really controls nations- the elected leaders or the money-men. Finally, not only do the contents of the book serve as good fodder for an alien novel or a conspiracy yarn, the book itself can be read and enjoyed as a grand historical conspiracy with colorful alien ( I am thinking of Count St. Germain) and human characters- both good and evil.
Yet, there is one very disturbing element to this book. By saying that all human suffering is caused by aliens, either directly, or via their various Brotherhood organizations such as the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, or the Islamic Assassins, it seems to me that Bramley is absolving the human race of all wrong-doing. True or not, aliens or extraterrestrials, be they 'Custodians', 'Alien earth owners', or 'Caretakers', may very well be instigating conflict within the human race, but it is humanity that pulls the trigger or drops the bombs, nonetheless. By way of analogy, if one of the zealous members of the Third Reich had told the judges at the Nuremberg trials that it was Hitler and the SS that ran everything, and that he or she was just an errand boy simply 'following orders', would that absolve him or her for their crimes against humanity? Machievellian involvement of extraterrestrials in human affairs aside, this reviewer firmly believes that ultimately, we humans are responsible to ourselves, and others, for our own actions.
Book Review: "The Truth is Out there" ficton or truth? You decide.
Summary: 5 Stars
The book The Gods Of Eden is not scarry in the sense of horror. But frighting in the sense of it might be true. Why does the dollar bill have an eye and a prymid on the back of it? Why is there a symbol of a pheonix on the dollar? America has no realtionship to ancient Egypt, or does it? This book goes into deep reasonings of why the world is the way is was and the way it is even today. From Adam and Eve to the shooting of JFK, questions answered by Bramley. I enjoyed the book because it answered those question for me. But....dont just believe everything in the book do your own research and use this book as a jumping off point. Enjoy it and learn from it.Book Review: 5 stars in spite of errors
Summary: 5 Stars
Firstly, anyone who has read Sitchin with an open mind cannot really doubt that, even though alot of Sitchin's premises are doubtful, there is a group of beings who are far more advanced than us technologically and have manipulated human history. What Sitchin never seemed to touch on in his books was how cruel these beings actually were, especially Yahveh. This may be because of his religious roots in Judaism, but nonetheless if one actually reads the Bible it appears that these beings are very cruel and manipulative. This book was really an eye opener, and I recommend it to everyone, but it does contain alot of errors and faulty logic. This, although diminishing the appeal of the book in places, does not affect its overall premise: that the so-called 'Gods' of old are actually manipulative, cruel, alien beings who have, atleast at one time, tried to control mankind. I am not so convinced that this is the overall problem with life, but it certainly adds to it. It sounds hokey, but looking at ancient archaelogy I don't think any reasoning person can deny that something was going on beyond what Human Beings back then were capable of back then. And, the 'Gods' they claimed were in charge were anything but loving & merciful. Where Bramley goes off the deep end is when he tries to bring in Metaphysics to this whole scheme. This simply doesn't work out, although I do respect that he points to spiritual liberation as a way out of this mess. If you are really interested in this book I suggest you study Sitchin as well as human history. Then the peices will all fall into place. If you pick up this book without studying some of the works of fellow researchers in this area then it probably wont make much sense.Book Review: 5* for making me think, 3* for convincing me
Summary: 4 Stars
Bramley is the kind of person who seems to become my friend, time and time again. In a land full of prophets (Israel) in which I live, I am always surrounded by people who have a great theory that explains it all. They have published a book, or are writing one, and somehow I seem to encounter these people again and again.Bramley in "God of Eden" brings an interesting theory that we are exploited since the beginning of time by aliens, coming from other planets. These aliens present themselves quite often as gods, start new religions or doctrines and by doing this they create wars. These wars keep the humankind in its state of slavery to the outer forces that decide for us. Probably these aliens or gods are the one who started humankind by genetic engineering. How they do it? They do it through an international ring of secret societies. Some of them are more know than others like the freemasons or the Templars, others are more obscure. These societies supports aliens, by spreading apocalyptic messages (followed by a 1000 years of peace) and in their way of helping the aliens become rich and powerful.
Yes, of course there is more to the book than that. You can expect more almost 500 pages. However, if you want to make such claims you need a lot of proof and Bramleys just proves in his books that it's only his idea and no proof is given to the reader of all this relationship. He is no doubt a great specialist in secret brotherhoods, and states this in more than 250 pages which are dedicated to freemasonry and other sects. It makes this book specially valuable for people interested in freemasonry, whether they believe in UFO's or not.
I find it quite real that there are aliens and UFO's, and there is enough prove of it from ancient times to this day. But every word that Bramley uses in this book to prove that these aliens are bad and manipulative can be used as a proof of the opposite, they may as well be helping the humankind from time to time escape destruction. Bramley goes as far as stating that all the wars are caused by aliens. This raises the question of, why? if we are they slaves why they want us dead? Or, if they want us dead, how come we have multiplied to be 6 billion people on earth? and then comes the big question, what are the aliens getting from this planet? Maybe what they want is dead people, and they use their ashes as energy, or maybe they use our farts to keep themselves warm... I am taking this to the limit, since there is not even one hint of answer to it in this book.
Even if his theory was true, we must be left with our head back to the wall. If these aliens, that are probably far superior technologically to anything we can imagine, are governing us so badly, then there is nothing we can do about it. Then maybe he is the ultimate apocalypse, there is no redemption possible, since all we are is some kind of energy to other entities. At the end of the book, Bramley tries to answer this question by offering the possibility of having peace talks with the aliens. Now, Mr. Bramley, whet will these aliens talk to us if they are exploiting us for thousands of years or more now? and as you say, they are doing it with such success. Bramley's gods have no compassion, on the contrary, they are only after our sweat and destruction. Isn't this again the most Calvinist thought you can imagine?
Bramley has not convinced me that people and only people can't be responsible for the eruption of wars. And that this is made by a small elite, occult or not.
Bramley also seems to give much more importance to secret cults than anyone has done before. They are not just a preparation for some leaders, according to Bramley they are the occult leaders of the world. Since secret orders are just that, secret by their own definition, anything and the opposite can be said about them, and since they are secret they won't stand and defend themselves. It's probable that some secret orders have influenced history or are still influencing some events in this world. But it's highly improbable that they decide everything.
While all over the book there is a highly humanistic (and not secular, but catholic and religious humanism) view of the world, and Bramley firmly believes in the goodness of human kind, this books just can push most people to fear and despair. I think that many apocalyptic books will come out of his ideas, if they have not been published already.
The good part of this book is that it made me think, as you can see, and raised may questions in my mind, major questions about humanity. And that is what a good book should do, raise questions and make people think. For it, I give him 4*.
Book Review: A True Account Of Earth's History.
Summary: 5 Stars
For quite a few months I was trying to put together pieces that would explain our planet's history and it's undeniable connection to extra-terrestrial influences. The hardest thing about this was putting it all together in cronological order. A website recommended that this book be read by anyone who was interesting in gaining a different view on the world so I purchased it. WOW !! The first fiew chapters answered many questions I had had about egyptian cultures and their advanced mathematical and architectural skills. I was able to grasp Bramley's explanations with ease and underderstanding. When I approached the chapter on The Black Death, my stomach turned. I felt like closing the book never to open it again as the truth disgusted me, but I was unable to stop thinking about. So, I spent a day in tears and turmoil, pulled myself back together again and read on. This book is no science fiction novel. It explains absoloutely everything you could ever want to know about the history of this planet, infact I will go so far as saying this book is the only book I consider to be a true account of our history. Bramley's beliefs are so profound that you have no choice but to stop and truly think about it. It will provoke your memory and eventually you will realise, as painful as it all may be, that our D.N.A was infact tampered with by E.T. geneticists who wanted to hinder our spriritual evolution to make homo-sapien sapiens pawns in their game of slavery chess. I recommend this book to everyone, if you dimiss his theories then perhaps you are not ready for the truth, nonetheless read it anyway. The most important thing I this book will teach you is that although we have been used by E.T's all our lives, it doesn't mean we cannot make a change for the better now. Even if the only change you make is in your beliefs of our history, the liberation you will feel will give you freedom. "...And the truth shall set you free."
