Cosmic Reviews Nick_Redfern

Being Greek, I grew up with the notion that we were markedly different than the rest of the world's peoples, and certainly not Europeans as most people believed.

Greek Parochial school reinforced this view and I spent eight years learning more about the specialness of Greeks, our responsibility to Hellenize (civilize) the world, and our kinship with the gods, heroes, philosophers and leaders of old.

Later on, I became aware of the perils of such thinking, and the wholesale havoc it has wrought, and can still wreak, on our world.

The topic still fascinates me though, and my interest extends into the Human/Alien Hybrid literature. Are not the Olympians often hailed as ETs? Are not our myths overflowing with tales of intimate relations between mortals and immortals?

So of course I eagerly read Nick Redfern's Bloodline of the Gods. Nick, a respected researcher, investigator and author had an interesting approach to the age-old question of divine descent: Blood Type Rh Negative.

The argument is well presented and I don't want to spoil the adventure of following it for you, but in a nutshell: Why does a small percentage of the human population (roughly 10%) gravitate to the UFO field in droves, have a high level of ongoing entity encounters, share some unique and rather unusual features, sometimes share a heritage filled with accounts of entity encounters, and tend to hold positions of terrestrial responsibility and power?

I don't know if I am Rh Negative, but my wife certainly is. I can vouch that she is indeed often Otherworldly and has an affinity with the fae, who have much in common - including speaking in Celtic dialects - with modern ETs.

From a Greek perspective, the Celts are descended from Celtus, a son of Hercules. Hercules was known as the Daghda, Ogmius and perhaps several other legendary figures to the Celts. And many of the other Olympians can similarly be found, thinly disguised, in the Celtic pantheon. So we're related in that way, sharing a mythic lineage that predates humanity.

It will be interesting to see where Nick Redfern's theory takes us, and whether it provokes a backlash against those who may be Others, or inspires an Awakening of some sort in those blessed with the rare antigen.

The Gods Trilogy

Nick Redfern

The earliest Ancient Astronaut literature started exploring the world's most ancient and venerable scriptures, as well as global mythology, for references to flying craft, advanced technology and astronomical knowledge that was way ahead of its time.

It was soon discovered that there was actually an abundance of information scattered throughout the planet that supported the probability of advanced civilizations, terrestrial or otherworldly, having existed in our past, and perhaps still operating in the present and guiding our future.

Numerous books have since been written on this topic... and the debate continues.

I learned to be cautious of the claims quite early on, especially those made in regards to the Greco-Roman world. The flying shields purportedly encountered by Alexander's forces at Tyre and wild speculations about some of Archimedes' inventions ignited my caution, and it has been operant ever since.

When I heard that Nick Redfern was sharing his exploration of Nuclear Wars in antiquity, I was eager to hear what he had to say.

I have found Nick's works to be engaging, entertaining, well researched, well presented and quite thought provoking. What more can be asked of any researcher, investigator and author?

Weapons of the Gods is a wonderful introduction, update and re-examination of the topic. It paints a thorough picture of all has been presented before, then returns to the source material upon which the assumptions rest and reveals how the claims emerged.

At times the speculations rest on a firm foundation of facts, which cannot be dismissed out of hand. On other occasions there appear to be very creative and selective interpretations being presented as gospel truths.

Questions that should have - but weren't, asked before are clearly articulated by Redfern, indicating the need for more research on some of the claims.

Because of its approach, which was fair and open, Weapons of the Gods delivered much more than it promised.

I was saddened when my journey through The Gods Trilogy by Nick Redfern reached its inevitable end. I greatly enjoy the topic of Ancient Aliens (or Astronauts if you prefer), think very highly of the author and am a big fan of New Page Books.

Bloodline of the Gods and Weapons of the Gods offer fresh perspectives and updated information on themes already well established in the literature. Immortality of the Gods, the third and final book in the series, breaks new ground.

If the Gods of old, who dwelt in the Heavens and descended to Earth, were indeed immortal, or extremely long lived, was their lifespan natural to them or was it artificially induced? Mythology, religion, occultism, alchemy, folklore, UFO encounters and modern science all point to the possibility that it was due to something they ingested, be it nectar, ambrosia, golden apples, manna or a number of other substances.

Nick Redfern takes us on a wild ride through time, space and other dimension in search of this elixir of immortality... and its connection to gold, an element that plays a large role in Ancient Alien lore.

With Nick to guide us, we visit the Ancient Near East, Israel, India, Greece (thanks Nick!), China, Egypt and Ireland. Each location adds increasingly more pieces of evidence to support the book's premise.

Then we move on to Saint Germaine, UFO occupants, Val Thor of Venus and come full circle to modern times and the former stomping grounds of the Anunnaki.

But wait, there's more! Nick Redfern then introduces us to the soul-recycling activities of the Greys and afterwards the Raelians, their Elohim and physical immortality via cloning.

Immortality of the Gods then completes yet another circle and ends where it began: with the wonders of modern science.

Awesome! I really enjoyed this book and it opened the door (in my mind at least) to the possibility of several sequel Trilogies (which I would greatly enjoy reading).

Hint, hint New Page Books.

Onwards!
