The Source Field Investigations was a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller that uncovered hidden science and lost prophecies to illuminate an entirely new understanding of our world today. In his new audiobook, The Synchronicity Key, David Wilcock embarks on an astonishing investigation into what lies beyond this new understanding of how our universe works—finding proof that everything in our lives is not only connected, but it also all influences everything else.
Using history, astrology, and synchronicity theory as well as concepts such as fractals, spiritual geometry, quantum physics, and other new research, Wilcock shows that there is a hidden architecture within time, guiding individuals and nations through a system of enlightenment Joseph Campbell called the Hero’s Journey. Historical events occur in shockingly precise, repeating cycles of time as a result. Once we understand and identify the hidden laws governing the fates of individuals and nations through seemingly random “synchronicity,” we are left with a remarkable blueprint of how best to lead our lives in this uncertain and confusing world.
David Wilcock co-authored the non-fiction book The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce? in 2004. Wilcock has appeared on several radio programs, including semi-regular appearances on Coast to Coast AM, and he had a role in the Syfy documentary 2012. He is a proponent of the theory that a large segment of humanity will undergo ascension in the year 2012. He also appeared in several episodes of the History Channel series Ancient Aliens. Wilcock graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a BA in Psychology. Wilcock is the author of the 2011 non-fiction book The Source Field Investigations, which debuted at #18 on the The New York Times Best Seller list on September 11th, 2011
Everyone who writes a book like this thinks that what they're doing is so shocking and never been done before. Yet there are literally hundreds of books like this. All this was covered in Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine more than a hundred years previous, but no modern new age writer seems to want to admit this. All the same, there's a few good points made here. The worst part of the book comes when the author tells us about the tricks to writing a screenplay and then proceeds to use the worst big budget trash as his examples.
I was truly disappointed in this book for where David likes to believe he is a good researcher, and perhaps he is, but his ability to then condense it into his own words to convince his audience of his views lacks a great deal in this book. I find that the examples he uses of world-wide events occurring every so many years as to be synchronicity controlled to be lacking. But the part of his book that disappointed me the most was when he chose to quote verbatim from the books on Edgar Cayce to prove his point, plus pages and pages of Gina Cerminara’s “Many Mansions” and then verbatim from Dr. Michael Newton. I assume that he had permission from the many authors he quoted. As far as him using the works of “The Law of One,” he used them in not such a concentrated manner. Now for those of us who have read and even studied these works, this was a disappointment. I expected to read something new. It would have been far better had he just made a list of the books at the end as suggested reading. Delving into Karma and Reincarnation are subjects of metaphysics, and need to be studied in that light and not just be proved by other authors who have experienced clients speaking under hypnosis.
As far as his dreams, I guess this is his psychic talent and I have never read anything of his particularly referring to them, but where he states towards the beginning of the book that his life had been threatened and two of his friends had been murdered when they probed into the cabal and finances, I heard an audio recording between him and Kerry Cassidy where he was hysterical and crying because he was so afraid because he had been threatened. Kerry was able to get hold of some individual, whom she would not reveal his name, but he talked to David and assured him that he would be protected, and thereafter David published that material. In this book, he is rather blasé about his life being in danger, which surprised me.
Then I lost interest in this book when he went into his learning how to screen write and all of the ins and outs of screen writing. What did this have to do with synchronicity? By the time I got to Part Three, I was so disappointed, I quit reading, but after reading some prior reviews by others, I found that I am not the only one. For those readers interested in David’s works, he has some good information, if you don’t know it or haven’t already read it, but as with all authors of non-fiction, the reader must use some discernment. I am sorry to only give him three stars, because I have read much good info on his website, but the title of his book and the contents are worlds apart.
I like the big "thinker" books. The Synchronicity Key isn't what I expected for a book on synchronicity! The book is definitely food for thought, whether you're advanced on your spiritual journey or just beginning. Author David Wilcox walks us through the global adversary, the hero's journey, and the cycles of the universe.
A lot of time was spent on the Hero's Journey and the cycles of victory and defeat. The hero's journey is one that is immediately understood - after all, every story that people love is a hero's journey. The cycles of victory and defeat was a very interesting history lesson. I appreciated that Wilcox also included one outside perspective that felt history was NOT repeating itself, but that the writers of history got bored and just wrote different names/places/times into the same history and called it good. On to explaining the cycles and the fourth density shift - it's interesting that there are so many differing timelines that all say "soon" , some as early as 2011, some at 2016, and some later for the shift - it could happen in my lifetime, or not. It would be fascinating to witness, or experience.
Prior to reading it, I think I expected the entire book to be more like chapters 6 - 8 (Karma is Real, Reincarnation, and Mapping out the Afterlife) but I'm glad it wasn't limited to that. The only downside to The Synchronicity Key in my opinion, is that it felt a lot like conspiracy theory, especially with the marketing phrases meant to grab your attention, like "shocking", "compelling", "amazing", "stunning" (evidence). While I did enjoy the whole book, I wish it were written a little less . . . market-y. I am, however, thrilled that Wilcox put so much effort into documenting and referencing everything in The Synchronicity Key. Many authors don't do that, or at least not as extensively, and you're left to take them at their word. While many may not believe what Wilcox has to say in The Synchronicity Key, the proof is presented as best he can.

This book was a real disappointment. I somewhat enjoyed the beginning of the book where re-incarnation was discussed but I found it hard to believe how he could do so much research on people who could explain all the multiple lives they had lived in so much detail. How can anyone verify these statements? I do believe in reincarnation and OBE's however Wilcock gets into a dimension on this subject which is beyond fascinating albeit hard to prove. Although, I am keeping an open mind to the theory I would still need further proof as to the complex theories of re-incarnation that Wilcock is espousing here.
What was a real turn off was the second half of the book where Wilcock gets into his cycles. It seems he comes up with events that weren't really that significant in the history of the earth and ties them into some very significant events like Joan of Arc and the French student protests of 1968. It seems you can tie any two events in history together if you are willing to blow it up all out of proportion and make it fit into your theory. Even where the cycles don't fit perfectly in together then Wilcock comes up with shorter cycles and then shorter cycles again and even when these don't jive with his theory he then approximates within a few years of each other. It just is not all that convincing to me.
Don't get me wrong, I do believe in Synchronicity, at least in our personal lives (which I have personaly witnessed first hand myself), and I still tend to believe it has its place in historical events, but Wilcock's argument along with his poor examples don't do it any justice. He also was a big proponent of the Mayan 2012 calendar scenario and now that we are well past that, he is trying to cover his tracks and say something big is still going to come "soon" but he can't say when. I feel this is a cop out so that he can keep selling his books indefinitely until he can retire. He probably really believes what he is doing but I just don't buy it. His research and sources are based mostly on internet sites and Wikipedia and just does not have the credibility I would consider worthwhile.
Wilcock also seems to believe in only one Alien form which is benevolent towards the human race. I also believe there is one or maybe more than one alien form which is benevolent towards the human race, but there are also others which are not so willing to help us. He does not mention the Draconian/Reptillian agenda which is definitely something worth researching when discussing mattrers dealing with earth's pre-history and mankind's overall purpose here on earth.
Overall I give this book a two star rating I really had to struggle to finish it towards the end because I felt the whole cycle scenario was not working for me. Although every once in a while I did find something worthwhile to make a note of, however I found these few and far between.
CRAY-ZAY! This book describes a conspiracy theory soup in which everything that has happened in human history has been orchestrated by the “Cabal.” To what end? I have no idea. But all of these events are somehow are in a cycle and are in synch with the universal plan for all our lives. I was totally lost on how any of it related together. But it’s really easy to go down the rabbit hole with conspiracies and weave everything into a crazy web. There was one part that was actually fascinating. The author goes into detail about how popular movies follow the same cycle as the universe. The author claims this is they are popular. I don’t know about the cycle of the universe but I see that same story structure over and over again. Movies won’t make any money unless they have the same elements such as the three act story structure, the heroes journey and the all is lost moment. It’s an actual Hollywood formula. It has kind of ruined the summer block buster type movies.
I cannot begin to properly sing the praises of this book. It is a must-read for everyone that wants to get clear about the underlying workings of everything.
I finished listening to this 18 disc book because I got it as an ILL and it didn't seem right to give the library that expense and then not to finish it. I thought I would give the author every chance. He lost credibility with me pretty early on, both about his claims for himself, his ideas, and his claims to know or to have proved various things. So, I'm glad that is done.
I've been reading a fair amount of Rudolf Steiner lately because I want to understand the work of Owen Barfield.
Steiner mentions astrology in his work about agriculture and medicine. I wanted to understand exactly how astrologers believe the planet's have influence upon personality, agriculture, etc. I'm trying to get into other people's mental space with the ultimate purpose of coming to grips with the work of Barfield. I keep thinking that if I know more about these subjects then I can understand his elliptical claims, understand how he could believe the things he did, and understand his devotion to Steiner.
The description of Synchronicity Keys sounded as though Wilcock might be a contemporary version of the sort of thinking Barfield shared with Steiner. He is, but he isn't convincing and he doesn't add much to the subjects he discusses.
I usually give authors a great deal of leeway when it comes to structuring a book. To me, I read to learn & ponder new ideas. However, I felt like there were so many ideas in this book that were scrambled together. I know the author was onto some good ideas, but these thoughts weren't ready to be published. While reading, I felt like he was building momentum on certain ideas, & then just switched to an entirely different subject--with very little linking them.
Interesting but not as good as his first one, the source field. This one harder to follow and believe. The author reveals the he thinks he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce and gives us his dream/ meditation readings. Call me a skeptic, but I could not suspend my disbelief... after all this is non-fiction regarding this portion of the book. Overall good but some of the information and his conclusions I can't swallow.
This is an extraordinarily insane book. The author has presented loads of data and backed them with proof in order to establish that not only is the universe blooming, but that it is cognizant and self-aware. Synchronicity in the Universe is a reality and an outcome of the connectivity of the universe. It is evidence that everything is a part of an amalgamated, associated whole. It is an assertion of life.There is a strategy and a single-mindedness to our lives on earth that is far greater than most of us have ever comprehended—and we are certainly not alone. Nor do we only have one life to live. There is irrefutable scientific evidence that we reincarnate repeatedly. We also keep moving through the similar modules in our history as they repeat in very exact patterns. These conflicts and carnages need not continue, however—they will persist only if we keep generating them, in our unawareness of the greater truth that surrounds us. The truth does not require any religion to appreciate; nevertheless, we may realize that the ancient spiritual traditions hold far more wisdom than most modern scientists have ever believed. While you may not choose to agree with one or many postulations and positionings of the author, it does make an absorbing read. And it also goads you on to read a few more books on the topic. That is the author’s biggest achievement.
This is the first book I've read by David Wilcock. Parts of the book are completely mind blowing. Other parts, however, seem unnecessary and are tedious to read. I'm mainly referring to the description of the strange love affair Wilcock seems to have with Jimmy Carter who, in my opinion, is just as much part of the "cabal" as the Bushes, Rothschilds and other villains.
I also understand that the concept of hero's journey is what makes Hollywood movies so popular. Knowing what we know about Hollywood, it seems a bit strange that Wilcock would be so uncritical of it.
More than a book on synchronicity, the central theme of this mixed back of goodies seems to be humanity's expected transition into the fourth density. The theory of repetition of similar events in different parts of history is interesting, and possibly valid. I found that Wilcock's examples of this phenomenon were a bit less than convincing.
Condensed to about half its length, The Synchronicity Key would have been a superb look on some of the new ways of understanding reality. Even now, the golden bits of information are there but you'll have to trudge through long stretches of irrelevant landscape to get to them.
This book was very much what I expected from Wilcock after reading articles and other works he had written and seeing him on television. The book is very broad in scope, and I'm sure that's what has led some reviewers to talk about how it was all over the place in terms of subject matter. It definitely was; however, I can understand why it had to be. With synchronicity being the main theme of the book, Wilcock brought in various examples from different time periods and throughout the world. While I didn't agree with all assertions he made in the book, some of them really did make sense within the context of synchronicity. I particularly enjoyed the ties to quantum physics and the discussions of our place within the universe along with the connections we have to everything in it. In addition, I was very surprised to learn some of Wilcock's personal history and how it has affected his life's work. It really added a deeper dimension to my understanding of his pursuits. If you are looking for a combination of the supernatural, history, and some science added in, this will be a great read for you!
This book was all over the content map. I expected it to focus on synchronicity. The reality is there just isn't that much to say about it once he covered the definition and a few examples. I wasn't really interested in his own personal depression, fears, and dream journal writing filler that is embedded throughout. His examples of Age of Pisces and Age of Aquarius alignment to support his premise that the Universe is cyclical and alive are specious at best. Nevertheless, he boasts throughout about groundbreaking his connections are. His pictures to support his reincarnation theme are not the least believable. (Hannibal and Hitler do not even remotely look alike. Nor do the others he imagines were reincarnated to rewrite history.) But he will try hard to convince you that they are. This is where he finally completely lost me in the book. His credibility vanished. Then he couldn't restrain himself and the book goes off the cliff. He had to express his politics. It was unnecessary and will throw off many readers.
I like Mr. Wilcock from what I have seen of him on YouTube. This is where I gained the interest in reading his work. This book references some work from other authors that I will also follow up on so in that respect it was a worthwhile read.
I did not find the glue that was used to bind the cited references to be overwhelmingly compelling although I also did not disagree with the conclusions reached in this book.
One complaint would be the focus on the synchronicity of events of war. I have always felt that our text book studies of history focused too much on these periods of time. In my opinion, this is when time stops and nothing worth mentioning is done. So perhaps I am just the man out of time but for me this was a futile exercise.
David does a great job of explaining so many things and putting it together into a coherent thought form that is easily understood. He has taken information from many places much I've read from other authors, and has helped me understand the concepts even better. Many thanks to him.
Some interesting concepts presented in this book, but you really have to read it with a grain of salt. The author seems to think he is Edgar Cacey reincarnated.....maybe??? A lot of historical events presented as repeating cycles of time. It became quite tedious reading in the end.
What starts out as an interesting book with a lot of interesting stories devolves into some weird ego trip about the movie that doesn’t get made or does get made, I can’t remember because I skipped past it and ended the book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
There was some interesting material in this but the book was all over the place. It didn't feel like there was any cohesion to it. I couldn't finish it. It was boring the life out of me.
Incredible. Mind-blowing. Disturbing and Fear-inducing at times, but always leaves you with a great sense of hope fo humanity.
If you want to know the honest truth about what’s going on in the world—especially the Hidden worlds we cannot see that surround us every second of d dry day—as well as discovering conspiracies going on right now in present day (I don’t say conspiracy ‘theories’ for they are all proven and backed up with sufficient evidence) then pick up this book now. But I warn you, if you’re not familiar with New Age belief, metaphysics, the truth behind the Holy Bible, the New World Order, and the Alien Agenda, this book can make you crazy.
I know book containing this knowledge have been around for a long time, but never to this depth (besides Icke and Blavatsky). It covers so much.
I had to read it slowly, stopping after nearly every chapter in order to get my head straight or to wrap my head around certain facts.
Nonetheless, I must recommend this book, as well as David Wilcock’s others in this series, to every human. There is so much going on in this world we are not aware of and it’s time that we wake up to change our old ways in order to save humanity.
I received this book as a Christmas present in 2016. Wilcock writes with a view to showing how all events in our lives and history reflect a coherent pattern, with key factors coming together at key times in various places among unconnected persons.
He writes eclectically in a New Age style, attempting to filling gaps between different popular and scientific sources of knowledge and between different historical civilizations and technologies. He presents some interesting and informative facts and concepts and presents challenging considerations.
It was an interesting read. I am familiar with other works along this line by Wilcock, and find him an engaging, readable writer. He sometimes weeps past problems or what possible objections to his sweeping theories and conclusions, but presents much for thought.
After reading the Source Field by David, I started reading The Synchronicity Key. What I love about David books, that he spends years of research to validate the information. The book is inspiring, fascinating and makes you wonder how perfect God plan is, as there is nothing happens as a coincidence, all part of our development and much bigger plans. After reading how the story is written for movies, the element of surprise gone because I know what will happen next , but I still enjoy watching them. I look forward to read another technical book about the cycles and how major events happens. Thank you David for your informative research and I will meet you again in your next book.
What a great read. Starts out with some scientific data/proof around the spiritual life and some other stuff that was over my head. I found that part a bit dry but I think the point was to show the data behind the premise. From there he begins discussing the history cycles, the hero's journey, our spiritual path in the afterlife, reincarnation, the Law of One, and much more. I found it very thought-provoking, interesting, and illuminating. Definitely a must-read for folks who are searching for meaning, looking to improve their spirituality and understanding of the universe and our places in it.
This is a well researched book. While I don't agree with all of it, in particular I have looked into the whole theory about reincarnation and to me it just doesn't add up. Reincarnation aside, the rest of the book offers some great insights. I love he cross referencing between mythology, history and astrology and reading into it with Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey.
I like David Wilcock's research into the cabal and how it all links into everything mentioned above. Overall this is a great read for anyone wanting to understand how the world works and what is coming u in the future, how to read into it and create a winning playbook.
Very disappointing reshashing of ideas that were presented better in the original work Wilcock is attempting to discuss. I gave up a third of the way through the book.
It sort of reminded me of what my major professor said when I suggested that my master's thesis be something about subliminal messages hidden in print advertisements. (It was a loooong time ago)
He pounded on his office wall and said, Forget it. Give me five minutes and I can convince anybody there are hidden messages on my office wall, but that doesn't mean they are there, and even if they were - so what?"
Hate the misery childhood part. Hate the 'I have a holy purpose in life, and that is to help ppl who are suffering' part. Those parts are so cliche and phony. Had to skip pages or even chapters to keep on reading.
As a person who experienced all stages of awakening, I am not amazed by anything he mentioned in the book. In my eyes, he's over-superstitious. Well, I see 1111\7777\3333\etc all the time (everyday), yet I don't make a fuss about it. I don't use 'synchronicity theory' to explain everything in my life.
Absolutely brilliant! I truly enjoyed every single page! I don't remember the last time a book brought me so much joy, awareness and so called the WoW factor. This is certainly not a book for everyone. Some people will have encountered so much psychological resistance in reading it that they probably never made it very far. Volumes of scientific evidence are only useful when we are willing to look at them. I believe that this book should be a part of a curriculum for young adults at school or university. Thank you David Wilcock for all your work.
An incredible body of work, I can't begin to imagine how Wilcock puts these immense books together. There are many intriguing concepts in this book, many repeated from The Source Field Investigations. There is a lot of emphasis and quotations from something called the Law of One series. I found this quite difficult to follow and ended up skim reading much of it. I also found there was a lot of fudging figures to fit theories, ie. 540 years is the exact figure, but if we just shave off a year... hmm. All in all though, an intriguing, challenging and thought-provoking read.
The work begun in The Source Field Investigations with additions for new discoveries and new connections made. If you haven't read the Law of One series yet...go online to LL Research and download the pdf's and get reading. Fascinating material. David is linking together things in our history that are based on solid science and research. Goes way beyond The Secret. You won't be disappointed.
If you enjoy books that are left of center, and dealing in an intelligent way with topics that many people find, shall we say, questionable, this book is for you. It's intriguing and full of research based examples that make it entertaining, enjoyable and easy to read. But perhaps my rating is further enhanced by oddly synchronous events that happened while reading this book. The timing and nature of the events as it related to my reading only reinforced the theories Wilcox presents!
