Secret History Of the World By Jonathan Black

  When i picked up the book "The Secret History Of the World" I thought it will reveal how world seems in the favor of some nations and how they have managed to make a good grip on everything going on here on this planet.

I had no idea that book written by Jonathan Black is about something really different in which I am less interested . I was little disappointed at first but once I stated to read it I felt quite fascinated with all the details about historic characters from myths and real world writer had discussed.

But I felt little disagreement later when at the end of each story regarding specific  character writer  had said something which was upsetting to me.

I don't know if any of you guys has read this book or not. May be few or no one at all.

According to Jonathan Black War between good and evil begins since universe has been created. Since beginning even when there lived "thought beings" who were most initial form of the "Consciousness" and were not confined in skull like human consciousness of today they had been fighting for survival and dominance on world. 

Those thought beings were emanation from the "Cosmic Mind"  who had full support of good and bad spirits to fulfill their cause. 

Writer after mentioning many famous historical characters from myths pointed out  many real life people who had influenced the history remarkably throuout the centuries. He said that those people gained tremendous success because they had unusual powers which they adopted by taking part in " intiation" a mental practice to achieve altered state of consciousness, kind of super natural power. 

Writer says that when consciousness sequeezd into the solid body of matter humans  lost connection with gods through spirit world. And to reestablish this connection ancient people invented secret schools that would teach intense ways of meditation such as living under ground for so long etc. This would make students mentally rich and strong unimaginably including having super natural powers. With such unique and extraordinary mental powers those people could achieve exceptional success in their lives. 

While taking all this writer mentioned a thing that seemed true by my personal experience.  He said that as humanity advanced and special people with spiritual teachings disappeared era of "yoga and meditation" started with the Buddhism. It opened way for each individual to peak inside and approach the inner universe where he can meet his maker directly. 

He said with many other including scientific references that regular meditation opens up the gland fixed above the left eye. And with that one realizes great enhancement of deeper understanding of the life. 

If you remember I have mentioned many times about improvement I have been feeling in my mental approach and performance overall since some years I have been doing yoga and meditation regularly.  I can never be thankful enough for this because when after the death of my parents I felt lost and broken these things saved me from sinking in the dark well of sorrow and despair. 

But I can't appreciate when writer seems to convince readers that they should learn magic because it is important to achieve success against evil and this is magic that allows us to manipulate the laws of Nature. 

I am a simple person with blind faith in "Creator" I  don't know whether I am born with it or not but I am very much assured that my maker has led me towards this faith step by step by showing his miracles. I may be know nothing but one thing I know with absolute certainty that leaning magic will make my God angry. And this is something I can never do surly. 

What do you say please share. 

Posting through tablet so  forgive if mistakes annoy you. 

Still raining. Though after putting plastic on roof has been great relief thankfully. 

Had no power and net yesterday. Appeared today so thought should post. 

See you soon guys take good care of yourself!

  1. If he's simply saying that yoga and meditation can bring some inner peace and clarity, fine -- I don't disagree. But the rest sounds like gobbledygook to me.

  5. First off we have to remember that this is how he makes his living, selling books. Then this is one man's opinion as he sees it. We all have the choice to walk the path we think is best for us. I would glean from the book and forget the rest. Have a very nice weekend.

    1. Thanx you dear Nichole !
      I am curious about life and everything about it specially human consciousness and it's origin and how we can evolve it with simple meditation.
      I agree that it is one man's opinion and i just like you just take the joy of learning and forget about it :)

      I think adding magic to our skill chest is cheating with one who had trusted us by putting above all other species because every time we get out of circle drawn by Nature we suffer. It is not for human nature to deal carry this thing responsibly and justifiably

  6. I have not read the book. I do believe that we should not interfere with nature. Nature will take care of itself and us if we just let it be.

  9. First, it was good to read that the plastic has protected your home’s roof, Baili, but not good to read about the continuing rains and power losses. I hope that you and your family will continue to be safe after watching a BBC news video about the monsoon rains. My thoughts are with you and your countrymen and women.

    I also had not heard of this book, Baili, until reading this post, but do not believe magic is the way to achieve success iver hard work and good deeds.

  12. I have been reading about the flooding in Pakistan and the millions who are displaced. I am praying all is well with you and family. I don't have any idea what areas are flooding and where you are located in all of this. Praying all is well and praying for all those displaced or injured.

    3. I agree with you on the practice of magic. It is something that opens us up to malevolent influences and potential possession by a dark entity.

      Meditation and reflecting on 'God' is something leads us to connect with both God and Nature.

      For me Jesus (through reading the New Testament in The Bible) taught me this and more recently when I found the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. My soul was uplifted to understand the teachings of both Jesus an Yogananda,

  13. Thank you so much for sharing dear Cheri.

    I totally agree with your opinion regarding magic which according to the writer is essential for opening up the third eye and I disagree to this strongly. Third eye is higher intelligence that brings deeper understanding of the life whearas magic is purely evil ways to interfere the laws of the Nature and poison humanity

  14. Hi, Baili! The best book that I have read so far about why the world seems to favor some nations over other is "Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World (Politics of Place)" by Tim Marshall. It made a lots of sense. It's scientifically based and explains the impact that physical geographical landforms have had on the the course of human civilization. Some nations have been blessed with a wealth of resources and a favorable environment, whereas others have had to get by with fewer natural advantages. I found it fascinating. I think meditation and yoga are legitimate and beneficial practices ~ the other things not so much. Hugs to you, my friend.
