Book Reviews of Lost Star of Myth and Time
Book Review: What College Cant Teach You.
Summary: 5 Stars
The one thing I can say about this book, is that it inspired me to do my own research beyond that which is generally accepted by the established academic community.
This is interesting subject matter which is not often covered in such an ubiquitous and easy-to-read format.
The author goes to great lengths to make an overtly complicated explanation of general concepts and questions appeal to the average layman.
Many many conclusions are drawn about astronomy, astrology, and the general development of ancient societies. Some I agree with, some I don't - but all are quite provocative and inspire you to question our very foundation of historical assumptions.
The only question that eludes me is this: Why is this (or other similar publications form the past 30 years) the first indication of this type of thought in the modern world? Moreover, why does the scientific community continue to evade any debate on even one of the pervasive and fundamental conundrums and hypothesis proposed by these theories? Some are very fundamental and were widely researched by European explorers and thinkers hundreds of years ago - only to be forgotten once again.
This book only further proves that our academic "leaders" are quick to accept any reasonable explanation which fits into the understood paradigm. Rather than taking evidence at face value, we continue to draw conclusions as FACT which are truly only our "best-guess" theories.
As if you needed another reason to question the scientific academic community, who looks more like a religion these days than an establishment of logic.
Book Review: Finally Connected Years of Reading Related Material
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Cruttenden appears to be in the process of resolving many riddles I've encountered over years of reading subjects ranging from mythology, ancient history, Precession of the Equinox, astrophysics, quantum physics, religion, and magick. Never had I imagined how so many subjects could be related to each other. If you are a reader of West, Bauval, Hancock, Sitchen, Jenkins, et al., then this book is the one that ties them all together -- at least for me (and I am a true believer that our archeological paradigm has been on the wrong track for a long time -- as well as our socio-religious ones). "The Lost Star of Myth and Time" takes the concept of human consciousness rising and falling in cycles through the ages and finally suggests (very credibly I might add) a causal factor: we are in a binary star system, and a likely candidate is Sirius -- star of the goddess Isis in Egyptian myth. The other reviewers have done far better in describing the book's details. I just want to say that I've been searching for a long time to find a book that proposed a plausible, quantifiable, rational explanation for so many of our ancient myths, for so many of our discoveries of higher civilization in a long-ago Golden Era, and for so much of the lowering of human consciousness at the bottom of the Kali Yuga Dark Age. This is the one book, FINALLY, that brought it all together. Amazing. I'd give it six or more stars if I could. Everyone on Earth should read it. I can't wait for our astronomers to confirm his hypothesis, and for him to write more on this subject.

Book Review: Challenges our view of the solar system
Summary: 4 Stars
Great value, LOST STAR stimulated me, and is readily accessible by anyone interested in archeo-astronomy and future studies.
Being keen on the teachings of Sri Yukteswar, part of which LOST STAR draws on, I was enthralled to hear someone had put together a book proposing among other things, two vitally important ideas for our modern Age. Firstly, our solar system is a binary star system, and secondly we crossed into the energies of the Dwapara Yuga in 1700 C.E. This is important knowledge and context information to how we `perceive' our relationships to each other, and the consciousness of the Earth.
The apparent ease within which Cruttenden presents all the following information and more, belies an advanced mastery of authorship - Gaia, the Great Year or precession of the equinox, the Vedic knowledge of the time periods of the Yugas, the Earth's historic link to the Sirius Star systems, the amazing construction of Coral Castle in Florida, and the electrical nature of our solar system generated by our binary star system, fascinate many people. The work by Gregg Braden (The Isaiah Effect), Drunvalo Melchezidek (Flower of Life), Dr. Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief), and Ervin Laszlo plus many other author's to numerous to list here, adds momentum and coherence to the understanding that we are capable of creating any reality we choose, plus our minds are now more readily able to consciously perceive subtle or etheric energy, and our interconnectedness to all of life.
Book Review: Not as good as It could be
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first read the synopsis of this book, I thought this is the book I always wanted to write.
After reading it I can summarize my feeling in just one word: disappointment. This book is about the connection between the cosmic cycles of the traditions and the precession. According to Walter Cruttenden there must be a companion star out-there. Why? First: because there are some astronomical problems with the precession (for more details see: "Binary Research Institute" web-page). Second: this is a chance to give material reason of the ascending and descending ages (golden, silver, bronze, iron). How: via electro-magnetic waves. If the companion stars nears our Sun we become enlightened, when it goes away we fall into the dark age. (Sounds weird?)
The other planet hypothesis is not new, but mostly scientifically unproved. The best theory I have ever read is from Woelfli and Baltensperger. This book is contains some vague predictions about the size and distance of this object, but the Sirius would be the perfect fit (as the book suggests). Only some very new laws of the universe should be discovered, and we will understand the importance of Sirius in ancient mythologies.
Until then I will have time to write my own book.
Anyway, this is not a bad book, it's like a work of Graham Hancock. Terra Preta was the most interesting for me, that would be worth a book on it's own.
