Resurrecting the Mysterious

Ingo Swann's "Great Lost Work"

By: Ingo Swann

Narrated by: Will Hollingworth

Reinterpreting what it means to be awake.

The Hidden Revelation, a previously unpublished manuscript of Ingo’s, was discovered by Nick Cook in 2016 in a nondescript folder tucked inconspicuously among some of Ingo’s notes. Now, together with Beyond the Gods’ Devices, another undiscovered manuscript, it is published for the first time as Resurrecting the Mysterious, a posthumous compilation that delivers what we (that is Nick and Swann-Ryder Productions, LLC) offer here as Ingo’s "grand unified theory" of the human experience (and, in part, of consciousness itself). This asserts that paranormality is part of an "expanded reality set" rooted in the relationship between quantum theory, us the observer, and something infinitely more profound even that is fully described in Beyond the Gods’ Devices.

The Hidden Revelation is more concerned with us, the immanent experience, the inward journey; Beyond the Gods’ Devices with that world, whatever that world truly is that binds and connects us to "the numinous"—that which, at present, science is unable to describe. For many, it may also make the "hard problem" of consciousness just a little bit easier to comprehend. We certainly hope so….

A Comprehensive View of Life's Intricacies

Ingo Swann has used his vast experience to produce a topography of the hidden realm and a practical guide for navigating it.

Mispronunciation of words

I think the content of the book is intriguing and in some cases compelling. I don’t subscribe to everything being said here but nevertheless the information is worth examining. However, the voice reading sounds like an A.I. voice that hasn’t been taught how to pronounce multi-syllabic words properly.

A little strange, and sometimes difficult to listen to.

I love Ingo Swann, and have read many of his books. There was some interesting and useful material in here, and I’m very glad I read it. However, the performance was somewhat strange and stilted at times, and it is fairly dense, and perhaps a little longer than I wish.

Narration wasn’t good

Always had the feeling of being talked down to by the narrator. Unless the work was from Ingo I wouldn’t have listened to it. It was harder and harder to listen to. I “Will” try to avoid this type of narration.

Ingo Swann deserved better

I’m very grateful for the effort undertaken by Nick Cook and his colleagues in bringing these works by Ingo Swann together and making them available to a wider audience. Ingo appears to have been attempting something quite rare for psychic practitioners: outlining a conceptual framework for understanding, evaluating and developing what he called the “superpowers of the human biomind”. This outline is at once methodical and intriguing and it’s what makes this audiobook worth the time of anyone with an interest in this field.

Unfortunately, the narrator employed by the publisher for this production makes it almost impossible to listen to. Mr Hollingsworth has been allowed to treat this as an opportunity to practice his generic American accent, which has resulted in repeated errors in pronunciation of words and, worse still, in letting the impact and meaning of certain passages to be sacrificed to the narrator’s wish to “sound authentic”.

If having the book read in an American accent was essential, then an American narrator ought to have been employed. If there were production constraints that meant someone based in the UK was an unavoidable necessity, then it would have been preferable to forget about accent and instead focus on minimising errors in pronunciation, delivering on the intended meaning of Ingo’s manuscript through intelligent narration and interpretation and then ensuring the highest and most consistent audio quality possible (which is not the case here). So again, I’m grateful to have any version at all, but I would love one day to listen to a more professional production that avoids these needless problems.

This should have remained in the unfinished file.

I think Ingo probably left this for a future incarnation...it was a work in progress and he knew it.

The ridiculous narration voices are exceptionally distracting, very irritating and absolutely not appropriate!

to add additional frustration to Ingo excellent research is the running narrative and personal biased explanation of the author for what Ingo is trying to say, which is consistently wrong… Like he doesn't even know what Ingo believes or writes about or has seen or experienced… Whatever I'm just pissed about the whole damn thing! :-(
