The Gods of Eden

Author: William Bramley

reviewed by Theresa Welsh

William Bramley wrote only one book and has kept his promise to not write another. He put all his ideas about the history of mankind in The Gods of Eden, and it is worth reading.

Bramley subscribes to the theory that “gods” from elsewhere were behind the creation of the human race. He came to that conclusion while researching an answer to the question of why mankind is always at war. Why have we treated each other so badly? Bramley looks to an enemy within that has done this to us. The Bible story of Adam and Eve is not quite how it was; instead there was a Brotherhood of aliens mistaken for “gods” whose subsequent network of operatives has always been active in human affairs, keeping us constantly at war. Their real purpose has been the enslavement of the human race.

Bramley has some of the same ideas as Sitchen and other writers in this genre, but he has written a thoughtful and well-researched book full of original material. It is a good introduction to this type of literature, since he covers the whole of history. He discusses religions in terms of “custodial” (those instigated by the corrupt Brotherhood, emphasizing absolute obedience to gods) and “maverick” (those which emphasize individual spiritual development) and also gives his ideas about the Jesus ministry and Christianity, which he says was basically taken over by the Brotherhood. Like other authors, he connects the secrets of ancient gods to the freemasons and secret societies who have carried the torch for the Brotherhood, continuing the strife that keeps us fighting with each other.

This book introduced me to that shadowy character of history, the Count St. Germain, who is said to be an immortal. Since reading about him in Bramley’s book, I have been alert to other mentions of St Germain (does he reside inside a chamber in Mount Shasta in California?). Witnesses have reported seeing St. Germain over a period of time beyond the lifespan of any human. But consider this quote from the book, in regard to the veracity of these reports: “The Brotherhood occasionally sponsored ‘resurrections’ as a way to deify select members. That is what had been done with Jesus.” You will also learn new information about Cecil Rhodes, who founded the African nation of Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe). I also found Bramley’s chapter on “funny money” interesting and recently returned to read it again. It makes a lot of sense. Whovever can manipulate our money system has a lot of power.

I like to divide books that say aliens are behind our concept of gods into two categories: 1) there are aliens and they are bad and 2) there are aliens and they are good. More writers think aliens are bad and Bramley is in that category. These aliens have been pulling our strings since the Garden of Eden. And that has been very, very bad for mankind. Bramley brings to our attention the belief of Charles Fort that our earth might be “owned” by some other world and we might be their property.

Bramley believes a human being is a spiritual entity “not composed of matter or of any other component of the physical universe; it appears to be instead an immortal unit of awareness which cannot perish…” However, in our bodily form we have been endlessly fooled by our unknown handlers. Bramley expresses freely his ideas on the nature of man. He has doubts about the validity of the Near Death Experience (NDE) where people see a being of light and report feelings of love. He points out that

William Bramley sees little for us to look forward to, in this life or the next. His book is a thoughtful discourse on the human condition and what might be our mistaken view of it. But he gives us no answer to it either, and concludes with more ideas for research and laments that “there exists an enormous body of data that I never had the time, money, or inclination to pursue, yet it is all highly relevant.” The ideas he DID manage to pack into this book make for some very weighty reading.
