Step back and consider the following. We are not alone. We have never been alone. There are billions of other earth-like planets. There are millions of intelligent civilizations living on these planets. Thousands of these civilizations communicate with each other. Hundreds of these civilizations trade with each other. Several have visited earth. Our ancestors have documented meetings with some of the visitors. One visit helped ancient Atlantians build a great civilization. One visit resulted in some of the Biblical patriarchs being shown how to become immortal. One visit warned of the coming of "Satan" and a worldwide destruction. There are an unlimited number of parallel universes. There is a portal from our universe to at least one other parallel universe. We have received visitors from parallel universes. A few from our universe have visited parallel universes. We may have afterlife in one of the parallel universes. Afterlife visitors can impart great wisdom to us today. Afterlife visitors can wreck chaos here on earth from time to time. ******* These observations are becoming realities as we unravel ancient secrets. I have been intrigued all my life with wondering just what the ancients really did know. Did we really get started with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Did Satan really cause us to sin? Who is Satan? Where did he come from; and why? Did Methuselah really live 969 years? Did Atlantis really exist? Was it our first great civilization? If so, how did it come about? Just who was Jesus? Where was He and what was He doing in those missing years? Do we really have a soul? If so, just what is it? Does it survive our death? Where does it go? Where is my father's now? Does my father live in a parallel universe? What is a parallel universe? Are paranormal events real or do we just imagine them? Why can we not explain what our ancestors, the ancients, lived with and believed in everyday? I went searching for answers. I found much more than I expected. I learned that the old "myths" are not without foundation. We can learn very much from the ancients; their secrets can significantly improve our lives today. I set out to document my findings in 12 books. This is one of them. Use you imagination. Read; learn; enjoy!

Explores the degree to which a belief in parallel universes shapes the thinking of contemporary physicists in areas as diverse as relativity, psychology, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
