Summary: Must be a joke
Review: An interesting 'different view' of Tibet. The book is well written in a narative style that captured the interest of the reader. This book reads like any number of occult thrillers of the 20s and 30s and it is hard to believe that it is an accurate portrail of Tibet. This book however seems to have an agenda or bias in furthering the particular religious ideas of the author. All in all well worth the read.

Summary: A Breath of Fresh Air
Review: I highly recommend this book to any seeker of truth. Not because I necessarily think that Illion actually traveled to Tibet and had the experiences he claims there, but because the ideas he is presenting go a long way toward explaining the Matrix Reality in which we live. It is also useful to compare Illion's descriptions to the work of Gurdjieff and Castaneda, as well as some of the deeper secrets of the Sufi orders. Another good comparison is with the ancient Gnostic texts.In short, nothing is as it seems and never has been. Illion has given us a peek behind the curtain where we see the man pulling the levers of our world - the smoke and mirrors show that underpins standard New Age teachings designed to lead humanity into a trap. Illion offers the astute reader an alternative to the Schwaller de Lubicz inspired shtick - the inspiration for the current "New Egyptology" and Occult Uniformitarian Synarchy - which is the underlying philosophy behind most New Age Vacumm Cleaner operations being propagated on the unsuspecting and gullible public at the present time. The interested reader might wish to have a look at Pincknett and Prince's book "The Stargate Conspiracy" for some clues, ... In short, what Illion proposes may not be so whacky at all considering the events of our history and the current state of the world. Answers are needed and the "God is in his heaven and all is right with the world" rant doesn't get it anymore.

Summary: Religious fiction when its worst
Review: The book is filled with factual errors when describing the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism. The author seems to be belonging to what he believes is a worldspanding secret society of spiritual leaders. What he's actually doing is promoting he's own ideas and misconceptions about eastern philosophy and religion.

Summary: Must be a joke
Review: This is the second book by Illion pretending to relate his adventures in Tibet.It is so outrageous it cannot be true.He claims he travelled secretly around Tibet in the 1930's and explored a secret underground city run by black magicians.His story does not make sense.A community based on total control over others, which is the essence of the black arts, would not survive.Modern perverted cults bear this out, such as Jonestown and Jim Jones; Waco, Texas; and the Solar Temple massacre.The drive for total power leads to total destruction.More inconsistencies follow.The author refuses to wear a required robe for a ceremony.If this really happened, the black magicians would have made short work of him.A cultured Tibetan called Narbu takes the author to this secret city.Narbu is a member of the secret brotherhood, but doesn't realize that they are black magicians.The author does not want to puncture his illusions so doesn't tell him.Narbu is a learned man and would not be so naive.On many accounts this book is illogical.It is pure fiction, and not plausible enough to make good fiction.
