To call Redfern's work comprehensive would be underselling the remarkable scope of research, analysis, and presentation that seamlessly interact to highlight startling parallels and origin stories of myriad cultures. Imbued with thought-provoking questions that urge the reader to integrate modern technology with ancient teachings that are the root of humanity, the author's book explores everything from the power of chanting, connecting with the spirit, and the photon band.
While Redfern endeavors to dive deep into the construction of many cultures, the intricacies of cultural migration across the globe are incredibly intriguing. Inevitably, humanity will grapple with the question of how the world was first created. Through scriptures and texts, there are numerous origin stories. However, Redfern perceptively notes countless similarities between cultures. For instance, the word "K'U" is sacred among Tibetans and Mayans collectively. In the same vein, the eye's potency as a window to the soul is prominently featured in Hinduism and valued greatly in Seminole culture.
From Sumerian law codes giving rise to economic formulas whose remnants are still present in modern-day economics to the theory that human life began in Africa, Redfern aggregates a wealth of information that effectively serves as a time machine for audiences to transport themselves throughout noteworthy moments of civilization, be it to solve age-old mysteries, reacquaint themselves with ancient wisdom, or simply learn about the origins of a world whose stewardship they have now inherited. Ideal for both anthropologists and curious lay readers, this text is just as relevant to those beginning to embrace the subject of the interconnectedness of societies and seeking to gain exposure to a wealth of cultures as it is for the informed.
