Philip Gardiner’s Gateways to the Otherworld opens many doors for those searching for existential truths. Is there something more after physical death? Are there other metaphysical realms to explore while alive? These are the questions that Gardiner’s monograph examines indirectly by researching concepts such as a universal frequency, extrasensory perception, and the function of the Great Pyramid and other places as mystical gateways.
The common thread running through the text is a layman’s description of implications drawn from quantum physics. Fear not. There are no scary equations. Gardiner simply stands on the shoulders of giants and looks in different directions that most physicists would not normally consider. He does show clearly that many of his viewpoints have existed for thousands of years, long before advanced scientific theory evolved. Maybe the Shamen knew what they were doing?
At two hundred and sixty-three pages in paperback, thirteen chapters and a couple of detailed appendices, the book is not a fast read. Nor is it meant to be. The reader is exposed to a concept, then challenged to accept or deny Gardiner’s insights. And even if you disagree with him, which I often did, I still found the breadth of the information in the book to be astounding. He even includes a full bibliography and a searchable index to support his research.
One of his appendices contains the locations and descriptions of several gateways. Most seem to be in parts of the Old World, in England, Scotland, Ireland and Europe, but this is to be expected as Gardiner is a UK author. Machu Picchu is on the list, but Stonehenge is not. America seems to be largely overlooked. The mystical vortexes of Sedona, Arizona are not identified as gateways, but there just happens to be one near St. Louis. Perhaps it’s something to consider seeing on the cross-country road trip?
Armchair Interviews says: A book that takes time to read and contemplate.
