The Secret History of the World by Jonathan Black

There have been many books on the subject, but, extraordinarily, no-one has really listened to what the secret societies themselves say. This history shows that by using secret techniques, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and George Washington have worked themselves into this altered state - and been able to access supernatural levels of intelligence. Everything in this history is upside down, inside out and the other way around.At the heart of 'The Secret History of the World' is the belief that we can reach an altered state of consciousness in which we can see things about the way the world works that are hidden from us in our everyday, commonsensical consciousness. From the esoteric account of the evolution of the species to the occult roots of science, from the secrets of the Flood to the esoteric motives behind American foreign policy, here is a narrative history that shows the basic facts of human existence on this planet can be viewed from a very different angle. 'This is the book that says everything I've tried to express in my music.Here for the first time is a complete history of the world, from the beginning of time to the present day, based on the beliefs and writings of the secret societies.

'A Morning of the Magicians for the twenty first century.' -Gary Lachman, founder member of Blondie, reviews for the Independent on Sunday What an amazing piece of work! And quite clearly inspired.' -Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider and From Atlantis to the Sphinx

I've just finished reading it and feel slightly dizzy. 'This is the most controversial book I have ever reviewed. 'The spirit of Lewis Carroll lives on every page of this gloriously topsy-turvy history.' -Gyles Brandreth, author of Oscar Wilde and a Death of No Importance Nothing of this scale and ambition has been attempted since Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, and Black rises to the challenge with style, originality and aplomb.' -Graham Hancock, author Fingerprints of the Gods. 'The powerful narrative drive and cornucopia of startling revelations that form the core of Mark Booth's new book show us the world not as we have been taught to see it but as it really is - deeply strange and mysterious, filled with secrets and codes, with humanity rightly placed at the heart of a grand cosmic riddle. Praise for THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD
