CHAPTER 1
consciousness and the nature of reality
Cultures across the world have left behind extensive evidence in ancient texts, monuments, and megalithic structures explaining that long ago, advanced civilizations once existed on the Earth that were eventually destroyed by devastating global cataclysms. These lost civilizations understood the secrets of energy, human origins, and even the nature of reality itself. This knowledge greatly contradicts the mainstream viewpoint that’s been given from the so-called leading experts and powerful secret societies, who prevent much of this information from being known by the general public. Throughout the course of this book, I will be going into extensive details to explain both why this knowledge is considered forbidden, as well as who has been hiding it. This sad and unfortunate outcome has led to great confusion throughout society, due to generations of clever conditioning over what the truth really is surrounding the fundamentals of reality, ancient history, and sentient life in the universe. This was accomplished through the means of controlling key pieces of evidence, which is either destroyed or locked away in secure locations, such as the Vatican Archives, where it’s rarely seen by the public.
Before anyone rolls their eyes at the idea of hidden secrets and organized conspiracies, I would like to strongly point out that none of the conclusions presented in this book are based on conjecture or faulty reasoning. Rather, this information is the result of extensive research using all available evidence in order to objectively obtain logical conclusions. It’s important to remember that if certain concepts aren’t presented in a progressive and organized fashion, the individual almost always rejects them. Based on that mindset and the complexity of this information, I would ask that the reader hold back any preconceived judgment until after they’ve finished the book. As always, remember to remain objective with everything in your life, including these words.
Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by the universe and the nature of reality. Even from an early age, I found myself constantly questioning everything as I struggled to make sense of religion, consciousness, evolution, and the secrets of the past. Due to my intense curiosity and high levels of energy, I often had difficulty fitting in and relating to many of my peers. This led me to spend a considerable amount of time hiking and exploring the outdoors. From studying the different types of flora and fauna, all the way to geography, geology, history, and astronomy, I was eager to learn as much as I could to try and make sense of the world around me. I frustratingly couldn’t understand why so many others didn’t share my level of enthusiasm. It became apparent that there existed a far more expansive and almost hidden reality that was somehow invisible to most. Quickly I began to recognize the perfect harmony and intelligent design that could be seen within all of nature, represented through the golden ratio and hexagonal honeycomb.
Despite these important connections I was making, I still had a lot of questions that needed answers. I realized that I wasn’t going to find all those answers on my own or in school, so I traded in my walking stick for books, and began studying ancient history and the universe. It was at that point that I came to shockingly discover that so much of what I was learning about was being deliberately hidden and suppressed from the public. This prompted me to ask the question of why all this information was being kept secret. That answer has fundamentally changed my life forever and set me down the long road of discovering what the truth is.
The first area of confusion to shed light on is how to accurately define the human experience. Is our true identity based on nothing more than a fleeting physical existence in a mortal body, where death only leads to darkness? Or are we defined as eternal energy that’s having a physical experience through consciousness? This important question has dominated the minds of many of the philosophers and physicists throughout history and is still hotly debated today. My hope is that after reading this book, the answer to this fundamental question will become much clearer. Remember, ancient history holds all the answers.
The Stage of Time is intended for the expansive and open-minded thinker, whose curiosity and dedication towards integrating new information doesn’t fall victim to the conformed thoughts of those around them. These unique individuals will often forge their own path in life, despite the overwhelming challenges they face in doing so. I would like to point out that I don’t pretend to have all the answers, and always strive to remain open to incorporating any new evidence or theories that come along. The most important thing above all else is to always remain objective with everything in your life and to never allow your emotions or personal bias dictate your conclusions. This can lead to a stagnation of new ideas which can often act as a blocking mechanism towards understanding new information. The famous philosopher Aristotle once said, “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
A personal saying that I frequently use to help explain this thought process for achieving higher levels of consciousness and a greater understanding of the world around us is, “always be aware of the level of your awareness.” This seemingly simple phrase has the power to free the subconscious mind from the chains that can limit its growth and ability to see the bigger picture. That means that the most difficult obstacle that often stands in the way of an individual expanding their consciousness is their own logical mind. How could that be? The reason is that most of society has been largely taught through a greatly antiquated and mundane education system, that has conditioned people for generations to reject new ideas that challenge this tightly controlled narrative.
Over time, this conditioning can create what is known as “mental blocks” within us, which seek to maintain and protect the status of how we perceive reality and our purpose in life. When new information comes along that disrupts this delicate paradigm, the natural response of the individual is often to
push that negative feeling away and ignore it. This is where the word “ignorance” comes from. That perfectly normal reaction acts as the main blocking mechanism behind absorbing new ideas and information.
As Carl Jung says, “There is no coming to consciousness without pain.” That means that in most cases, people will choose to follow the road of blissful ignorance, rather than deal with the difficulty of incorporating new information into their thought process. The difficulty in breaking free of these subconscious blocks greatly depends on the amount of mental abuse that the individual has been subject to over the course of their lifetime. The reason for this is due to the toxic environment in which consciousness exists in, where most people are deliberately kept in their lowest state of energy in order to maintain the status quo.
An example that I often like to use to help describe the various environments that exist for expanding one’s awareness, is by picturing consciousness as a small sapling tree that’s growing on the forest floor. Growth of the young tree is directly dependent on the amount of light and nourishment that it receives. The more conducive and beneficial that the environment is, the higher the chance that exponential growth will occur. On the other hand, the more darkness and shade that it gets, the more it will struggle to grow. That means that with the proper environment and stimuli in place, the expansion of consciousness can occur quite rapidly in some individuals. When one experiences this spiritual path of heightened awareness and energy, it can be a truly profound and humbling experience that can fundamentally alter a person’s path in life.
Across the Earth, ancient ruins and megalithic structures such as Sacsayhuamán in Peru, the Temple of Jupiter in Lebanon, or Gobekli Tepe in Turkey have been proven to be far older than what our modern history books are willing to admit. In fact, the incredible megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe, located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, has been radiocarbon dated to be over 11,000 years old. Meanwhile, further to the west in Baalbek, Lebanon, the ancient city of Heliopolis and the Temple of Jupiter contain enormous stone blocks that are in excess of 1,000 tons each. Yet at the same time, most mainstream experts will tell you that these megalithic sites were built less than 5,000 years ago by the Romans, or some nomadic hunter-gatherer group, using nothing more than bronze-age tools. This evidence greatly contradicts what society has been taught about the timeline of human history and helps to paint a far different picture of our past.
The most important question is, why isn’t this information part of our education system? From the secret tunnels found beneath the pyramids of Giza and the water erosion marks on the Sphinx Enclosure, to the knowledge of mathematics and astronomy developed by the early Sumerians of Mesopotamia, around the world, we find compelling evidence that suggests that human civilizations are far older and more sophisticated than what we’ve been told. This brings up serious questions as to why this important evidence still remains hidden from most of society. To answer that difficult question, we must objectively review this evidence, reality, and the secrets of ancient history.
For far too long, society has based their understanding of the events of the past and present upon a small number of “experts” in their field and rarely choose to question or seek alternative theories. This disastrous outcome, based on generations of misguided and docile trust, is the very reason why I’m writing these words to you now. This conclusion may be hard for some to accept, but the fact is plain and simple, we’ve been lied to for a very long time. The truth is far more fascinating to learn about than the biased and mundane version we’ve been given. Once the individual discovers the vast amount of evidence that exists which challenges the entire paradigm we’ve been taught, their perspective about the universe, history, science, and religion often changes forever. So now you may be wondering, what exactly have we been lied to about?
One of the most significant of these deceptions revolves around the incorrect information that’s been provided by many of the mainstream archeologists about the true age and purpose of the pyramids of Giza, Egypt. We’re told by many of these “experts” that the largest structures on Earth were built to honor the great pharaohs of Egypt. This lie is generally accepted by the majority of society, who is often too busy to take the time to research alternate theories for themselves. Yet today, not one pharaoh has ever been found in the pyramids of Giza, or in most of the other pyramids located around the world. The objective researcher quickly discovers that the Egyptian pharaohs were buried more than 400 miles to the south, in a place called the Valley of the Kings. Famous pharaohs throughout history, such as Ramesses or Tutankhamun, were mummified and buried at the Valley of the Kings, surrounded by generations of older Dynastic Egyptian rulers.
So why have they deceived society about the truth and purpose of these pyramids? The answer to that question can be found by understanding the level of control that exists regarding the perception of history, which is fiercely guarded by powerful individuals and secret societies, who hide the true age and sophistication of many of these ancient civilizations. That means that even today, with all the modern technology that we have available to us, we would still have trouble constructing the pyramids of Egypt. The design and alignments of these pyramids suggest that these ancient builders knew detailed information about both mathematics and the constellations of our galaxy, as well as the electromagnetic energy and ratio of the Earth. If this information was released to the public, it would not only change our understanding of consciousness and energy but alter the entire way we view human history.
These spectacular achievements in engineering were only made possible because of a specific understanding of the precise ratio of the Earth, as well as the ley lines of energy that cross the planet. But how could they have known that more than 10,000 years ago? Evidence shows that the true purpose behind this intuitive design was to create a large structure that could focus and harness unlimited electromagnetic energy, as well as to act as a type of harmonic resonator to raise human consciousness. The real question is, what could they have needed all of this energy for thousands of years ago? To me, the obvious answer to that question suggests that these ancient civilizations were much more advanced than our history books are willing to admit.
In fact, not only are the pyramids of Giza far older than what we’ve been told, but the Dynastic pharaohs of Egypt were also incorrectly given credit for their creation. Evidence shows that these magnificent and precise structures were built by a lost civilization who disappeared from Earth’s history during the last ice age. Furthermore, when looking at the positions of the constellations of Orion, Leo, and Canis Major 10,500-12,000 years ago, and accounting for the precessional changes that occur to the Earth, it can be fascinating to learn that both the Great Pyramid and Sphinx perfectly align to these star constellations during that time period. For those who don’t know, axial precession is caused by the slight wobbling of an astronomical body, which causes its orientation to change over time. This creates what is known as the precession of the equinoxes, or Zodiac Ages, which represents a cycle of approximately 25,700 years.
This dating evidence also correlates strikingly well with the water erosion marks that have been found along the edges of the Sphinx Enclosure, which strongly suggests that the true age of these structures is far older than what we’re taught based on the historical rainfall patterns for the region. Along with the deception given about the truth of the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Temple of Seti in the city of Abydos, Egypt provides even further evidence to show the advanced sophistication that these ancient civilizations achieved. What’s so important about the Temple of Seti is that it contains unique hieroglyphs which clearly portray “modern vehicles”, including a helicopter, a submarine, and a plane. But that’s impossible right?
Cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, along with ice core samples from Greenland, and geologic evidence from across the world, strongly suggest that a series of devastating cataclysms occurred on the Earth between 10,500 and 12,800 years ag
o, leading to rapid melting of the ice caps, global floods, and destructive climate changes. These cataclysms were likely caused by a large solar outburst from the Sun, or possibly a comet strike, which wiped out many of the ancient civilizations that were present on the planet, causing their existence and memory to become nearly lost to time. A great deal of their knowledge and advanced technology was destroyed in these cataclysms, however, some of the megalithic structures and pyramids they built still remain today.
According to the famous philosopher Plato, a sophisticated civilization called Atlantis once existed somewhere south-west of the Straights of Gibraltar in western Africa, on a string of circular islands that formed a large central landmass. These writings, known as the Timaeus and Critias, state that Atlantis was destroyed by a series of violent catastrophes that were so severe that little remained of it afterward. This information provided by Plato, describing these cataclysms that occurred at the end of the last ice age, correlates strikingly well with Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets, ancient stories, biblical writings, and ice core data from Greenland, all of which provide a glimpse into what occurred long ago. These disasters led to the destruction of many of the Pre-Diluvian civilizations that once thrived on the planet. Yet little about this information is taught in school and is still largely considered pseudoarcheology by mainstream experts.
It should become clear that we can no longer trust the antiquated view of history we’ve been given. Furthermore, the particular way that society perceives evolution, human origins, and their purpose in the universe, has been manipulated and conditioned for so long, that most have become unbalanced and ignorant of what the truth is. Throughout the course of this book, I will be going into extensive details to explain how exactly that was accomplished. Remember, the truth can be hard to stomach at times since it’s been largely written by the victors, which often portrays a biased and false viewpoint that isn’t supported by the evidence. This false perception of reality, along with the control of ancient history and consciousness, formed the basis for my previous book entitled, The Illusion of Us: The Suppression and Evolution of Human Consciousness.
