The Ascension Mysteries

July 18, 2016
Wilcock, a frequent guest on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens TV show, updates and expands the analysis in 2011's The Source Field Investigations, adding material on the roles of good and evil aliens, the Cabal/New World Order, NASA and the U.S. government, and science fiction media. In the first half of the book, Wilcock recounts a retrospective search for inner meaning in a decades-spanning chronological mash-up of personal and cultural memoir. He explains his fascination with all things psychic and alien, interlacing bully-filled social awkwardness, mystical dreams, and drug trips with musings on celebrity and analyses of the politics, video games, music, and television that spark his budding imagination. The second half offers more examination of ancient ruins in space photos, a plethora of new details from insider informants on alien encounters and stargate travel, and an insistence that secret information is slowly being revealed to the public through fiction. Alien enthusiasts who love corroborating proofs will find the large amount of new detail satisfying, and those who find Wilcock personally compelling will love the juicy details of his youth, but those looking for guidance on their personal preparation for the global transformation Wilcock anticipates will find it lacking despite the heft of this volume.

Earthlings, give yourselves up.Eons ago, space men landed on the moon and built a little city around "artificial-looking craters." Lights, structures, transparent aluminum roofs, obelisks--exploratory craft in the early days of the Apollo missions got it all down on film, and then someone inside NASA scrubbed the photos, except for a few that were smuggled out. Our rulers know all about the "bright white dome" on the moon and the alien presences who built it--they, of course, walk among us--as well as the top-secret "non-terrestrial officers," death rays, and other stuff we're too busy playing "Candy Crush" to notice. Such knowledge earned Ronald Reagan a bullet--and next time, the UFO/cabal people warned, he wouldn't be walking out of the hospital. These aliens take numerous forms, among them a race of giant-skulled people who hide out in the Vatican. (Why do you think they wear those big pointy hats?) They are trying to control us through our monetary systems and our religions, which may amount to the same thing. If you're following so far, you've dipped a toe in the weird, steamy slough that is a Wilcock book (The Source Field Investigations: The Hidden Science and Lost Civilizations Behind the 2012 Prophecies, 2011, etc.). Sprinkling his own experiences into a mix of bizarre space yarns that would make L. Ron Hubbard pause in awed admiration, Wilcock writes of the sentimental education of a charlatan, all UFOs here and acid there and other stuff that might well incline one to believe in evil ETs and suchlike things, all breathlessly narrated under the shadow of the sinister: "Ask yourself this: Isn't it strange that we had the technology to land on the moon in 1969, and then we never went back?" If ordinary reality isn't weird enough for you, this heady Cloud Cuckoo Land is for you.
