About The Book

A 30th anniversary edition of the underground classic

• Describes the forgotten history of the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria and how, after their destruction due to pole shifts, the Ascended Masters seeded the great civilizations of ancient Egypt, Incan Peru, and the Himalayas

• Explores our impending planetary ascent into higher consciousness and provides tools and exercises to support it, including Merkaba Light Body activation meditation, Breath Alchemy practices, and techniques to access your Higher Self

In this 30th anniversary edition of the underground classic, Bob Frissell shares an updated account of Earth’s ancient past as seen through the eyes of the Ascended Masters, in particular Thoth, as well as exploring our impending planetary ascent into higher consciousness—and what you can do to support it.

The author describes the forgotten history of the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria and how the Ascended Masters seeded the great civilizations of ancient Egypt, Incan Peru, and the Himalayas. Detailing the transformation we must make if we are to stay with the Earth as she moves into higher dimensions, he guides you through the Naacal Mystery School in Lemuria and Atlantis, two Egyptian Schools, and culminates with a final initiation in the Great Pyramid. Providing exercises, tools, and techniques to rediscover the unlimited potential of the Higher Self, he presents clear instructions on Merkaba (Light Body) activation, Breath Alchemy, the Unity Breath, and Christ-Consciousness spherical breathing, detailing how to internally assemble your own Merkaba through which you can travel beyond the limitations of time and space to access the unified living energy of all creation.

Allowing you to move out of the darkness and into the light, this book shares the wisdom of the Ascended Masters about our past, reveals how present “reality” is a holographic projection of our consciousness, and shows how you can activate your Light Body to ascend to higher dimensions and join the Ascended Masters.

A must-read for truth seekers and those aspiring to understand the universe and themselves on a deeper level.”

Bob has definitely tuned into the Creator Frequency! If you are searching for truth, I highly recommend this book.”

– Dianne Robbins, author of Messages from the Hollow Earth

“If you’re looking for a fast-paced, eye-opening, big-pictured, wild-ride of a book, here you go! Bob Frissell sweeps aside the veils of conventional reality to explore what’s happening behind the scenes—from extraterrestrial visitations and multidimensional events to walk-ins and ascended masters relating the ‘true history of the world’—emphasizing the desperate need for global change and personal transformation.”

– Dawn Brunke, author of Awakening the Ancient Power of Snake

“I loved Bob Frissell’s book Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are when it first came out many years ago. The fact that this book has been translated into 25 languages and has sold over 500,000 copies means that Bob is on to something very important. It will make you think, maybe twice, about many things. It is filled with crazy wisdom! It’s a genuine gift to all spiritual seekers.”

– Dan Brulé, author of Just Breathe

“If ever there was an aptly named book, this is it. In a highly readable and sincere manner, Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are proceeds to thread together every New Age belief and conspiracy theory into a grand unified field theory of kookiness. They’re all here: gray aliens, ascended masters, free energy, angels, cattle mutilations, crop circles, Breath Alchemy, Earth changes, the Great Pyramid, Sirius, and secret colonies on Mars. And yet, despite the sheer unbelievability of half the book, the author’s goodwill and spiritual intentions are so infectious that the book ends up being a heartwarming experience.”

– Jay Kinney, Wired magazine

“I highly recommend Bob Frissell’s time-tested, monumental book to anyone interested in novel, creative ideas and insights regarding the significance of UFOs in human history. Frissell’s book is a concise yet comprehensive study and review of Man’s history, his views of Creation, the Creator, and the creature himself, Man. This book is about the expansion of human consciousness and a new understanding that integrates ancient knowledge, myths, and occult traditions with quantum theory and metaphysics to aid the reader in making the crossing from the Piscean Age into an Aquarian Awareness.”

– Robert D. Morningstar, editor and publisher of UFO Digest

“Bob reminds us that through understanding our origins and going through the transformations necessary to embrace the future, we’re somehow going to get past all this dark night and evolve as a people and a planet. I appreciate his lifetime of work with Breath Alchemy as one of the main healing modalities that will help us get there.”

– Denis Ouellette, author of Heal Yourself with Breath, Light, Sound & Water

“Bob Frissell’s book takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the realm of ancient knowledge and the unfolding evolution of human consciousness. Frissell breaks all the dogmas and stereotypes of ideas about our past imposed on us by official science. It is a guide to finding inner peace and creating a brighter future for humanity—a new reality filled with love, unity, and limitless possibilities."

– Alexander Milovanov, author of The Music of the Divine Spheres

“The veils have been lifted after reading Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are. It’s a very enjoyable read which transitions the reader into a quest of self-discovery. It becomes an incredible voyage, undeniably riveting and so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading. I was captivated in such a way that I had never been before! I found myself already upon the index and still wanting more of this newly acquired knowledge on how the universe operates and is operating right now. This book acted as the vital nutrients essential for my growth during this collective spiritual harvest season. This book has changed my life forever.”

– William David, author of A Child’s Adventure

“As you can see in this book, Bob loves to tell the truth. As a result, he has become an internationally famous teacher—and he deserves it.”

– Leonard Orr, founder of rebirthing and author of Breaking the Death Habit

“For us, as lifelong seekers of truth, this book was soul food as our hearts acknowledged the profound truths therein. We loved the way Bob took an enormous amount of information and condensed it into one ‘ user-friendly’ format. A very timely and significant contribution to help us all understand and deal with the personal and global challenges being faced today.”

– Linda and Brenda McCoy, coauthors of The Living Code

“This is an accessible guidebook to consciousness expansion and evolutionary progress which, in effect, restates age-old knowledge and in so doing reminds us of our heritage as spiritual beings. . . . Frissell tells his account primarily through the experience of one Drunvalo Melchizedek, a ‘walk-in’ being who claims to be from the thirteenth dimension by way of several vibration-stepping-down incarnations along the way—on this occasion via a mutual spiritual pact with a male human in 1972. . . . Part of Drunvalo’s mission is to remind us that we can . . . assemble within ourselves the universal pattern of creation—our own merkabah vehicles—which will facilitate the evolution of our consciousness as well as that of planet Earth.”

– NEXUS: The Alternate News Magazine

“Bob’s book reaches back hundreds of thousands, millions of years into the past and sketches out how consciousness has been using third-dimensional reality as a playground and a test lab for life that extends into the lower realms and higher realms for eons! It may well be impossible to explain and understand the vastness of the All That Is, but having a sense of the awe and wonder can make the unfolding experience all the more alive. Eventually we will all awaken. But Bob Frissell’s updated metaphysical-spiritual classic Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are is like an endless fractal pattern that can open up your awareness to extraordinary, far-out possibilities.”

– K. Scott Teeters, former host and producer of Far Out Radio
