The Spiritual Genesis of Humankind

The author makes it clear from the beginning that this is a spiritual text, his inspiration coming from God and he delivers his message with very great effect. The central theme of compassionate love runs very strongly throughout the whole work and there is certainly a plethora of incredible revelations concerning spiritual, psychological and religious matters! This book is extremely clever as it takes the reader on a journey into an oasis of ideas and quite simply a radical new understanding of what it is to be human. It constantly builds upon central themes, until one finally reaches a crescendo, when it suddenly dawns upon the reader that what has been explained is a totally new understanding of life, of our world, of our universe, of what it is to be human! And that it all fits together.

God and spirituality are central to this new philosophy as is compassionate love, but both are explained and expressed in ways i have never read about or quite understood before. It has changed my understanding of God, religion and the nature of myself. This book is superb, Elias is totally convincing in what he says, as he fluently expresses himself in his writings and he provides such depth and "real" understanding. I would definately recommend this book to anybody who is seeking to know more about spirituality, religion, the nature of their own spirit or who might just need to hear some words of wisdom.

This Book Packs A Very Powerful Punch...  Sep 05, 2003
By Sebastian Richards
This book deals with many of major issues which we currently face in our modern world, from the micro to the macro and across various disciplines. It is very impressive the way in which it ties our modern problems back to very basic issues which we of yet have failed to resolve as societies and as nations.

The thing that struck me most about this book, well two things really, was firstly how it could reveal to us that possibly, in our modern world we have missed something crucially important in our understanding of what it is to be human. Perhaps we really have missed the point, and maybe it will take a radical shake-up of our understanding of what it is to be spiritual people in order to allow us to change our societies and nationstates for the better...This book goes into great depth about such issues, it takes a particular viewpoint and it sticks to it throughout, constantly adding more and more depth and detail in a way that made me begin to believe that God has outwitted us afterall and that is he there watching us, that we really do not know all as we might think we do, and that we in the race for prosperity, we have sometimes forgotten a few important lessons....

And secondly i found the reinterpretation and explaination of 'consciousness', what it is to be conscious and where it comes from, explaining it from the view point of how it effects our daily lives quite astounding...it goes into great detail examining and proposing why we as individuals are as we are, and goes into detail explaining the very nature of our souls, how we continue to live after we physically die, and where we go to.

It is an extremely impressive work, it redefines who we are as people, as the human race and really gives us many good reasons to allow us to more readily question some of the beliefs that we hold true in our current day societies. Indeed it shows us a different path if are brave enough we walk upon it.

There has been a real growth in the spiritual movement in the last thirty years and they are going to love this book...it redefines spirituality, religion, ethics and even to God himself...I have not made my mind up yet as to whether i believe the author when he says that the inspirations and guidance for this book have come from God himself, but i definately haven't ruled it out...and i must admit that having read this book i am now a lot closer to understanding who God is, if you like, and feeling that maybe he is out there afterall. As Elias makes perfectly clear, God takes a spiritual view of us, and he knows that we continue to exist beyond this world, hence he takes a completely different judgement upon us and our world. Fascinating stuff, and it goes into great depth about this particular issue as well...

And another thing, the way it ties all the world religions together and gives us a totally new interpretation of the origins, our actual genesis is sweet, very clever, and so neatly tied in with the rest of the book....there are some humm-dinger lines in this book and some real revelations to be behold....but i don't want to spoil it for you....let's just say that this book packs a real punch and hasn't got me thinking as much about society and the nature of man since reading George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, a good many years ago. Elias Bell, you are either a genius of perception, or you really have been inspired by God...This book fills me with wonder and awe...

Finding A Friend In Elias  Aug 28, 2003
By Christine
This book has been written from the heart, with clarity and understanding - to learn the meaning of life - their can be nothing more important, to at last know the truth about life after death is both a joy and a relief. Beautifully and sensitively written, it alays the fears and intrepedation that I had previously had - being of more mature years and having lost my husband, concerning loneliness, death and the nature of afterlife.

The knowledge and perception of Elias is quite remarkable. He brings the sciences, philosophy and religions together, and makes sense of it all. I feel that he has experienced much of the anguish and despair that goes hand in hand with life and he seems to understand the trials and pains that I have personally gone through in recent years. This book is exceptional and I think that anybody who is suffering, for what ever reason will find a friend in Elias. The author understands spirituality and religion like no other author I have ever read before. The last books I enjoyed reading this much were the M Scott Peck series. Elias seems to take our modern day understanding of 'the meaning of life' one giant step forward.
