Books with author William A. Henry Iii

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic for Time magazine comes the tremendously controversial, yet highly persuasive, argument that our devotion to the largely unexamined myth of egalitarianism lies at the heart of the ongoing "dumbing of America."Americans have always stubbornly clung to the myth of egalitarianism, of the supremacy of the individual average man. But here, at long last, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic William A. Henry III takes on, and debunks, some basic, fundamentally ingrained ideas: that everyone is pretty much alike (and should be); that self-fulfillment is more imortant thant objective achievement; that everyone has something significant to contribute; that all cultures offer something equally worthwhile; that a truly just society would automatically produce equal success results across lines of race, class, and gender; and that the common man is almost always right. Henry makes clear, in a book full of vivid examples and unflinching opinions, that while these notions are seductively democratic they are also hopelessly wrong.

They are not human.They are inter-dimensional beings who came from an otherworldly holy place called Sion.They crossed a forbidden barrier, transformed or morphed into human form and freely mingled with humans.They intervened in human affairs.They created a hybrid race with humans.They taught the art of building temple-portals with massive stones and the secret of transforming humans into angels or inter-dimensional beings.They were punished as dangerous and subversive and labeled as fallen.God sent a cataclysm to destroy them and their offspring.Their temple-portals were disabled or destroyed.Their teachings were declared heresy, forbidden.They are the Watchers, the holiest race of alien beings.We’ve been warned to stay away from them.Most have.We, however, will break through the barrier.In this revolutionary exploration of the Watchers, the Angels of the Lord or the Holy Ones, we learn the story of the Watchers is the product of one of the greatest spiritual and literary revolutions the world has ever seen. It began during the 3rd century B.C. when a wave of apocalyptic Essene writings swept the Mediterranean world and came to fruition at the time of Jesus. From this epoch emerged a new hero, Enoch, ‘the Translated Man’, who was transformed into a being of light and joined the Watchers in heaven. The mystic secrets of ascension the Watchers gave Enoch have been sought for centuries. They were known and used by Jesus. In this thorough study, these secrets are considered, if not revealed.In this heavily illustrated study, William proposes that the Watchers are Seraphim (“winged serpent” angels who are Type III beings on the Kardashev Scale of civilizations and have advanced, non-physical Rainbow Bodies of Light. They correspond to the Seven Rayed Naga “rainbow serpents of wisdom” of Buddhist tradition and the seven fish-cloaked Apkallu sages of Mesopotamia.We explore the literary and historical evidence that the Watchers possess the secret of human transformation into angels. They came to earth on a mission to instruct humans in this transformation. Their teachings became the basis for the Christian concepts of ascension, resurrection and perfection.This study changes the traditional perception of the Watchers and puts us on the true path to discovering their secrets.Can souls return to their Source (God’s Throne)?Can a human transform into an angel or become equal to an angel? Are we all fallen angels/aliens?Can a human ascend to godhood? Can any one learn to do this on their own? If so, what skills are required?Is a direct connection with God possible?If so, who initiates this encounter? Does God?Or, can a human take it upon them self to ‘call’ God?Is there a cosmic conduit linking earth with Sion?Can humans achieve perfection?The Watchers addresses these questions and more.
