Just amazingly inspiring and well researched

I found this book very inspiring, informative and well researched. The way this book approaches the contrasting views of materialism VS the idealism in relation to religious beliefs and mysticism as recorded in dogma, myth and legend. I loved this book and recommend it to any one with a passion for history, free thinking, phychology, philosophy and religious beliefs.

Absolutely awesome.

I'm only half way through so far and I have learnt more about different deities and gods than I have ever learnt in my life. How they're all intertwined and so on. It's very well put together amd David has a great voice too, it's nice to find someone who I can listen to without getting bored. I can't compliment this audio book enough, just give it a go!

Another very interesting book by Jonathon Black

What made the experience of listening to The Sacred History the most enjoyable?

After listening to secret history of the world, I knew this book was going to leave me that little bit more enlightened.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sacred History?

A lot of this book was a broadening of the stories and understanding of the stories mentioned in the secret history of the world. this made it an interesting listen.

What three words best describe David Bauckham’s performance?

tempo "ok" understanding "ok" pronunciation of some key words "terrible"

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen while driving to and from work and this book suited that purpose beautifully

Any additional comments?

The pronunciation of some key words made me and get a little annoyed and cringe at times it made me wonder why this was not checked before the book went out its probably not David Bauckhams fault but still very annoying

Too important to miss

If you could sum up The Sacred History in three words, what would they be?

One of the most entertaining and important books ever written. Our history, our ancient myths and fairytales, our future; nothing is what it appears on the surface. Common threads of esoteric mysticism run through all cultures and all history and point towards a future rarely imagined. A labour of love and a work of genius.

Jump.

The point that spoilt this book for me was the jumping from place to a totally different place. The only thing that kept me listening. There were some good points and supervision which kept me listening. Would I recommend this title, yes but with reservations..

A must for anyone who seeking the divine within.

Loved it. I just wish that the Chapters were given headings not just the numbers. So much, that would bare revisiting. An exploration of the missing part that we all seek, our divine purpose.
Highly recommended.

Great book

Very well presented informative book. A lot of cross over that fill in gaps to some common knowledge along with less common knowledge. A very worth while read to anyone interested in esoteric subjects.

An essential insight

The Sacred History is in many ways remarkably similar to The Secret History, however it stands as a deeper exploration of the supernatural approaches first explored in The Secret History.
The Sacred History covers the same cosmological approach to The Secret History, whereas the Secret History concerns man's interactions with the Supernatural and the cosmic mind through the secret societies, The Sacred History concerns the actual disembodied beings themselves and numerous human interactions with them.
Despite the similarities with his other work, The Sacred History is every bit a compelling read. For those who are tired with the Materialist Reductionist Paradigm and are looking for more compelling accounts for looking beyond the approach of "what you see is all there is" then this is an excellent way to open one's mind to higher possibilities and ever greater wonder.
And one may ask, why not? We have at many points in life felt the wonder, experienced how there is much more to reality than atoms, but the ubiquitous nature of the Materialist Reductionist Paradigm, and the accompanying academic prejudices have caused us to silence the inner voice.
For anyone who listens to the inner voice, or would like to hear the inner voice more, this book is an essential listen.
Additionally, David Bauckham's narration is decent and appropriate.
