“One myth that all cultures seem to share is that throughout the ages, teachers and authority figures have appeared to awaken potentialities in human society.”
The prologue of The Kingdom of the Two Suns by Francisco Martinez Dalmases warns readers that its exploration of a “dual system in human society” will be unusual, and it doesn’t disappoint. From the first chapter to the last, readers are privy to an intelligent, sometimes scary hypothesis where science, myths and conspiracy are carefully woven together. Scripture, Classic philosophical teachings, scientific studies, historical references, and the scheming of governments to control the narrative through the media all make an appearance. While it may seem like that’s a lot of concepts to digest for the everyday reader, the author somehow makes a compelling argument that’s nothing short of genius.
WHY THIS BOOK WON’T EVER BECOME “MAINSTREAM” — AND WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
I asked myself why a book like The Kingdom of the Two Suns wouldn’t ever become a “mainstream book” that is studied within universities, because surely most — if not everything — that’s presented within these pages is well-researched. Logical comparisons are made between a variety of schools of learning that would ordinarily not seem comparable. Then, something popped into my head that my archaeology professor said way back when.
Basically, it comes down to this: Thinking outside the box, while often encouraged by higher institutions, is unfortunately frowned upon by “the powers that be” that run those very institutions. Academics who gravitate toward things that are commonly referred to as “fringe sciences” — be it searching for Atlantis, free energy, or even the study of cryptids — are ridiculed by their peers. Funding for these types of studies is almost non-existent, too. Yet, if one goes by the wise words of Nikola Tesla, one of history’s greatest inventors: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
THE EYE-OPENING QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES
Is it truly so farfetched to imagine that “enlightenment” is being suppressed and that our very linear beliefs are exploited by modern media for the gain of an elite few? While I honestly cannot subscribe to believing in every single theory set forth in The Kingdom of Two Suns, I do think that the arguments being made have weight to them. I’ve always been keen on the idea that there’s more to the world than what we can see … Is it an unpopular opinion, a “conspiracist’s” point of view, or even naively fantastical? Perhaps. But if we don’t ask difficult questions, if we don’t study broadly and destroy the hypothetical pigeonholes we’ve built in our own minds to categorize things as “real” or “nonsense” without further investigation, we’ll stagnate as human beings. It’s as simple as that.
What I particularly enjoyed while reading this book, however, is being introduced to inventors, philosophers, and events in history I cannot recall ever reading about. Take for example Viktor Schauberger, a naturalist genius who developed implosive technology; Georges Lakhovsky, an electrical engineer with an impressive resume who eventually specialized in the electric fields inherent in living organisms; and Aldous Huxley’s influence on psychedelic drugs as a means to break down the rational filter of the mind. There were also other concepts to discover, from the MKUltra experiments, how pop culture influences us, and what two Australian psychologists — Drs. Fred and Merrelyn Emery — discovered while they were researching the effects of watching television.
In other words, there’s an array of interesting theories to learn about in this book that would definitely inspire readers to do further, independent research.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS …
The Kingdom of the Two Suns by Francisco Martinez Dalmases is an unusual book that warrants multiple reads in order to truly understand how the author wishes to explain a myriad of concepts that stretch from creation to the present day. It is not a preachy book whatsoever, in my opinion, even if there are hypotheses about outlandish things. Instead, the author seems to promote self-thought, self-discovery and self-study.
This is a book for people who want to finally think for themselves … So, for those who seek enlightenment on — as Douglas Adams would say — “the meaning of life, the universe, and everything,” it’ll be worth every reread.
