The Secret History of the Universe

"Mythology and ancient esoteric beliefs are finally found in cutting edge science" Rick Rubin, bestselling author of The Creative Act

"The Dancing Wu-Li Masters of the 21st Century" Professor Jordan Giddings

"Jonathan Black makes the complex so clear and magnetic. He connects many strands of human consciousness to make a beautiful wholeness. He has a warmth, a loving presence which unites the head and heart on our quest to self-discovery."  Pamela Young, author of Hope Street

"Jonathan Black’s head-spinning The Secret History of the Universe reveals the influence -- sometimes very direct -- of the work of great occultists and seers on the scientists who have shaped the world we live in today. After you finish the book, you will see the world of scientific discovery and the universe in a new light, both strange and glorious"  Conner Habib, author of Hawk Mountain, host of Against Everyone with Conner Habib

"Jonathan Black’s understanding of the universe is very close to the way I see it. The Secret History of the Universe has an important message for the world." Lorna Byrne, author of Angels in My Hair and Stairways to Heaven

"The most brilliant book I have read for a long, long time"

Jeffrey Mishlove, New Thinking Allowed, author of The Roots of Consciousness

"I’ve been reviewing science fiction and fantasy books for twenty years. The reality, as shown in this book, is as exciting and strange and compelling as anything I’ve ever read"

James Buxton, author of The Wishing Tree, Pity, and I am the Blade

"What we’ve been taught to define as 'reality' will never look quite the same again once the revelations of this breakthrough book are taken on board. Black shows that surrounding us everywhere, in all directions, from the unimaginably large to the infinitesimally small, is MYSTERY"

Graham Hancock, author of Magicians of the Gods, Supernatural and America Before

"Weaving a tapestry between physics, art, literature, philosophy, mysticism and our immediate world, Jonathan Black beautifully articulates the mythic dimension in historical events."

Daniel Kramer, former visiting professor at Harvard and Brown universities and Artistic Director of English National Opera

"Amusing, popular but still profound, and above all much needed in an age that has lost its way - a remarkable achievement."

James Hanning, author of Love and Deception: Philby in Beruit and The Bookseller of Hay.

"This history carries you along on a wild ride through discoveries in science, all the while entertaining you with stories of often troubled and flamboyant geniuses. Miraculously easy to understand - even for the most scientifically illiterate people, like me."

Philip Carr-Gomm, a leader and former Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Author of Druid Mysteries: Ancient Wisdom for the 21st Century and co-author with Richard Heygate of The Book of English Magic.

"Black’s book captures the creative interior of scientific discovery, the part that happens before the mathematics, before the experiment, before the Nobel Prize. It reminds us that the hidden mysteries are not uncovered by logic alone. They are first glimpsed in the intuitive flash, the symbolic image, the imaginative."

Robert Lomas, co-author of The Hiram Key and Uriel’s Machine and author of The Man who Invented the Twentieth Century: Nikola Tesla, the forgotten genius of electricity

"Black has written that rarest of all things: a book that makes you see the world in an entirely new way."
