Summary: Guest Host Larry Lowe welcomes Paul Von Ward to the C-Realm to review his 2004 book Gods, Genes and Consciousness in which Von Ward lays out a very large scale review of extraterrestrial contact with humanity and its complicated impact on our developmental process. In the first segment, Von Ward explains how the Advanced Beings that apparently had overt contact with humanity help reboot our civilization after a planetary level catastrophic event that occurred around 11,500 BC. He points out how the religions we now believe in re-framed the concept of gods into a universal, mythical God of the cosmos. The discussion then delves into the understanding of humanity as a Genetically Modified Organism and finally into how all of this sets the stage for understanding consciousness as a pervasive artifact of nature and how the individual human node of consciousness is a means for the universe to know itself.
