Summary: Laugh til you cry
Comment: If you're looking for some cheap laughs, read this book. The other reviews have done well, but note: For Side-splitting vein-popping hysteria, get this book!
Especially if you get the tape, you can tap into its insane goodness at any time of the day: during breakfast, driving to work, with a glass of port after dinner, or during your usual sessions of ritual merkaba meditations, whippings and chants.
To believe this book you gotta believe a vast and intricate web of insane theories, spanning from aliens building the pyramids, atlantis, time-travelling....you see where we're heading.
Although maybe not as funny as authors like Spike Milligan, this book still rates highly as a highly amusing piece of trash. New-age mumbo-jumbo, Phooey! You're not thinking outside the box, you're just thinking in Frissel's box, and you LIKE it!
A great laugh, nix more than that.

Summary: Not What I Expected, BUT WHAT A SURPRISE!
Comment: I expected this book to cover government conspiracies and it did, to some degree, but not how I expected. I read some of the other reviews and was disappointed at how close-minded people are. Bob talks a lot about what's REALLY happening and how we, as spirits, can prepare for what is about to happen. I've read many spiritual self-help books and I think this falls under that category, but WOW! It's like nothing I've read. If you're a close-minded tobacco-chewing/truck driver/hill-billy who doesn't believe in anything "spiritual" or mind-opening, then don't bother. You won't get it. (I could almost hear the cud being chewed as I was reading some of the poor reviews of this book.) If you're a self-help junkie, this will COMPLETELY BLOW YOU AWAY! It will change how you see everything. It's almost "scary" to know so much...

Summary: Sadly, Not a Joke
Comment: The only thing wrong with this book is that it takes itself seriously. It could be a hilarious fantasy extravaganza on the order of "The Illuminatus Trilogy" if only it weren't trying to convince us that it's real. It reminds me of the shrink in "The Terminator," who comments that Kyle Reese's psychotic delusion is brilliant because it doesn't require a shred of proof. Same here: The reason our archaeologists can't find evidence of the 500 million years of advanced civilizations on Earth is because they all occurred on a higher dimension. Dolphins and whales are much smarter than we are, but it doesn't seem so because "advanced beings create everything they need internally." Drunvalo Melchizedek, the book's putative hero, is ten billion years old and came from the center of the galaxy to help us, but he doesn't look it because he's "borrowing" the body of an ordinary human. What's more he doesn't even remember any of that because to retain memories of the thirteenth dimension while in the third "would be just too painful." Our sun is currently undergoing a period of intense solar flares that are engulfing the Earth, but we're not aware of it because a group of benevolent aliens from Sirius B constructed a holographic grid around the entire planet so we would think life was going on as normal, until "we could get to where we could handle a wall of flame."
Like I said, this is great stuff. I'm surprised no one's made a movie about this; it would be a blockbuster. The closest I've seen is the movie "Stargate," in which we learn that the ancient Egyptian gods were actually aliens who created humans as a genetically-engineered slave race to work their mines. (That one's in this book too.)
Interspersed with these fantastic chapters are boring sets of instructions on how to breathe so that you can inhale psychic energy or "prana" along with your oxygen; and a treatise on "sacred geometry." What makes the geometry useless is that Frissell claims the sacred geometry is "the morphogenic structure behind reality itself," but discusses it through the use of metaphors and vague references to familiar mathematic terminology. Geometry, of course, is a very specific discipline, but Frissell avoids specificity, saying instead things like "Life doesn't know how to deal with something that has no beginning because there is nowhere to start. So this sequence, which has become known as the Fibonacci Sequence, is life's solution to that problem."
The flaw in Frissell's "brilliant delusion" is that he starts making predictions about the future, which is always risky for psychotic nuts. By the end of the century (that's the 20th century, by the way -- this book was written in 1994), the Earth as we know it will have disappeared and most of us will have successfully transcended to the fourth dimension, where we'll live in the harmony of christ-consciousness and understand everything. This transcendence was evidently meant to be a conscious one, implying that it probably couldn't occur without our realizing it. Now it's 2003 and I think it's time for a sequel explaining what went wrong with this plan.
On the other hand, if you're adrift in the world, if you've accomplished nothing and done nothing practical with your life and you're getting on in years, isn't it comforting to believe that very soon none of it will matter anymore, because you'll ascend to a higher plane of consciousness and be fully invested with your cosmic destiny as an immortal master whose purpose is to save the universe? At the very least, it means I don't have to worry about not having any retirement savings.
