Ah, the free books that “authors” send to libraries… This was mailed to my workplace (school library) and upon reading the back cover, I immediately snagged it to take home. The entertainment value is off the charts, but it’s obviously complete drivel. This could actually be great to use in a unit on misinformation, disinformation, and reliable sources!

I have to say it was a quick read, which is always great. I saw this as the authors personal opinion however, I can see the views and how these are tied in with everyday assumptions and happenings. It's a great understanding of the views of other people.

Did you ever wonder when the world was going to end? How it was going to end? Why?

Apparently the answers, according to this book, are:
soon
by colliding with Mars, and
because you aren't practicing Scientific Chastity.

I'm still not entirely certain what Scientific Chastity is, but apparently we really need to get on it before the sea monsters, nourished by nuclear waste in the ocean, become Nuclear Creatures and begin eating us all.

I don't know where to start with this garbage. I guess calling it garbage is a bit harsh, but read it and see if that's called for or not. I'm fine with people having their own opinions, but this is a bit ridiculous. This book is aimed at "correcting" the sinful world. The author starts out with telling the reader about a "sun sized planet" making it's way toward earth. Then tells the reader that he has "gone to Venus and Mars" and to describe how those beings, which he calls humanity for some reason, live and how much better and advanced they are than us. I would just like to know what made this guy so special to think that people will believe that he did any of this without the aid of being asleep. Wait, to answer that question see the ending the book. He tells the reader that through mantras and sleep the "astral plane" can be achieved and we can go wherever we want and learn everything we would ever want to know. Basically this guy likes to sleep and dream of this "greater" existence that "only a handful of us" will achieve, because all the "gringos" (he uses that term MANY times, meaning Americans...so what about the rest of the very spiritual people of the world that he doesn't address?) will perish in their own societal collapse and then the rest will die in the collision with this "planet."

Bottom line i sent away for this since it was free and I thought it'd be interesting to see what the author wanted to say. Made me laugh at least. But like many people who "know a better way" they leave out much of the things that can be argued against them, and I'm sure if he was ever interviewed this guy didn't give a straight answer to the real holes in his book.

For anyone who actually read this, enjoyed it, and/or follows these beliefs continue on your way. I don't care what you're view is, I won't get in your way. But just think about it for a second that's all. I'll believe what I want and be a "gringo."

Wow, that wasn't a professional review at all. But on the other hand this book wasn't very professional or well written either.
