Description

Excerpted from the website description:

Time is a manmade concept. But from the beginning of time, man has attempted to speed it up, slow it down, go through it, divide it, add to, and subtract from, it, and generally manipulate it in a myriad of creative and scientific ways. But, for more than 30 millennia time has manipulated man. And those who looked up, and down, and around, have been fortunate to discover a fraction this elemental mystery. Where we are today, in the 21st century, is essentially where we�ve already been. Technology, wars, politics, expansion, and ideologies today are not new. They have only been conveniently repackaged for our benefit. All we know today, man has already known. Simply put - if you want to have a grip on today, look into the past. �History repeats itself.� If you want to prevent from making gigantic earthshattering or life-changing mistakes, look into the past. Someone has already made them for you! Learn from their sorrows. All we need to function and expand, we already know. The trick is first, to know where to find �it,� and second, to know how to creatively use �it.� Let us first address, knowing where to find �it.� What is, �it,� exactly? �It� is time. �It� is the ages. �It� is lessons learned, which should never be repeated, as well, as lessons lost, which could have prevented years of suffering.

To find �it,� look at history and those who had the luxury to study �it.� Plato, Archimedes, Copernicus, Aristotle, Galileo � are just a few who studied time. Empires have risen and fallen, through misuse of time. Generals and Chiefs have also conquered and died. Wars have been, and are still, fought over �time.� The middle east wars fought today, are reflections of thousands of years. They have just been packaged differently today. The argument is the same. Only the characters have 21st century bodies and faces, and gadgets. Otherwise, they are reminiscent of past leaders, theorists, fanatics, lunatics, evolutionists, and reactionaries; Genghis Khan, Hannibal, Nero � Moses parted the seas. Did he? Or did he have technology that went unrecorded? Armies today use cardboard and crystal shard, disposable bridges. Are we so sure, Moses and the ancients didn�t have technology beyond the rod and staff? David slew Goliath with a pebble. Valiant, indeed. But what contraption did he use? Ah, yes � the sling of David � that�s right! Was it just a tool of worn leather? That�s what we�ve been told, but do we know that for sure? How can we be so egotistical to believe that there was not greater technology than the wheel and fire then? We have effective, low impact weapons today that operate on the sling-shot principle. They are no more complex than David�s weapon, and require average skill. And what of Alexander�s acute vision? One of the greatest military strategists of the times looked into the sun, which blackened his eye. His one eye was
