Introduction by Zecharia Sitchin. This new book by the author of "Breaking the Godspell" clearly outlines the entire human evolutionary scenario and what it means today. While Sitchin has delineated what happened to humankind in the remote past based on ancient texts, Freer outlines the implications for the future. We are a genetically-engineered race with both animal and "godly" genes - genes which have thereby made us into incredibly unique organisms with an accelerated evolutionary path. In less than a century we have moved from the horse and buggy to walking on the moon. Freer gives a clear picture of what else is in store based on the current psychological and physical trends that are developing. We are all creating the next step we need to take as we evolve from a genetically engineered half-animal species into something far beyond what we could ever imagine. We are now playing the "god games." We are convinced that great thinkers in the future will look back on this book, in particular, as being the one which opened the door to a new paradigm now developing. Neil Freer is a brilliant philosopher who recognizes the complete picture today, and is far ahead of all others who wonder what really makes us tick, and where it is that we are going. This book will make you think in new and different ways. Accept the challenge of God Games and you will be greatly rewarded.
Neil Freer is a researcher, writer, lecturer, philosopher and poet living in Santa Fe, NM. He holds a BA in English and did his graduate work in Philosophy and Psychology at the New School for Social Research. He has taught college courses in Philosophy and History of Religion, gives private and public seminars and lectures and has done over one hundred radio interviews. Neil is the author of Breaking the Godspell (now its 3rd printing, having sold about 10,000 copies), a book which explores the ramifications of the archaeological, astronomical and genetic proof for our being a genetically engineered species and presents the ramifications of this new paradigm of human nature that resolves the Creationist-Evolutionary conflict. Neil was the host of a private computer conference on the WELL for three years, a critical discussion of his and Sitchin's work. In his second book, God Games, he explores the ways in which we will live when, individually and collectively, we attain the unassailable integrity afforded by the restoration of our true genetic history. He outlines the racial maturity of the new planetary civilization and describes the new human.
Neil's work appears as part of the symposium, Of Heaven and Earth (Book Tree, 1996) which includes the paper he presented as invited guest speaker at the Zecharia Sitchin Day special event at the International Association For New Science conference in 1996 in Denver. An essay "In The Middle of Whose Ship Are You Standing?" is included in David Pursglove's Zen And The Art Of Close Encounters. Neil published his first full collection of poetry, Neuroglyphs, in 1994.
