If you are a skeptic, this book is for you. If you take comfort in the world as we know it, you may find this book disturbing. For many, much of what we thought we knew about our world and ourselves is no longer considered sacred because what we experience and know to be true, does not match the common narrative. This is a thesis about finding the real truth by unmasking the contradictions and fabrications in our stories. The author examines the narratives around creation, evolution, the ancient peoples, extra-terrestrials, Christianity, religion, the End Times, the knowledge gap, the science of energy, artificial intelligence, the invisible realm, the power of intention and the nature of man. The hypothesis is that the collection of all those shared precepts about who we are, how we got here and why we exist are just a Grand Illusion. This is about questioning established tenets and finding nuggets of insight, illumination and more plausible explanations based on the new information that has emerged. Therefore this book will examine who we are from a different perspective. The truth, once realized, will make the greatest story ever told, seem boring in comparison.
