Remember Who You Are Book Review

In 2012, I purchased David Icke’s book “Remember Who You Are“: Remember Where You Are and Where You Come from.

I wanted to explore his insights into Saturn and its impact on our perception of reality.

David Icke has been a trailblazer for more than two decades.

He warned of the coming global state unfolding on television news and in our daily lives.

Subjected to mass ridicule and called a madman, events have proved him right, yet he persists.

Remember Who You Are breaks massive new ground.

David connects the dots between apparently unconnected people, subjects, and world events like never before.

Suddenly, a world of apparent complexity, mystery, and bewilderment makes sense.

The key is in the title.

We are enslaved because we identify ourselves with our body and name when these are only vehicles and symbols for what we are — Infinite Awareness, Infinite Consciousness.

We are imprisoned in the realms of the five senses and “little me” when we are All That is.

David Icke’s Remember Who You Are Book

Many of you know that I am a big book reader. During my growth journey, I read over 700 books from 2001 to 2005, and around 2004, I came across an author named David Icke.

(Now, I mainly read online, including books in PDF format.)

In the early 2000s, I was initially drawn to books on personal development, health, religion, spirituality, business, money, and metaphysics.

Back then, my “go-to” bookstores were:

1. Barnes and Noble, I could sit in those big comfy chairs and read for hours, drinking several cups of coffee. Sadly, Barnes and Noble removed those big, comfortable chairs from all their stores because people would come in there to nap.

2. Borders (R.I.P. – Acquired by Barnes and Noble.)

3. Greetings and Readings (~~still in business)~~. Closed doors 2019.

Remember Who You Are Was A Slap To My Face

“Remember Who You Are” is basically a slap in the face to everything you’ve been told is true. It’s not a feel-good story. It’s a wake-up call.

Icke’s saying, “Hey, you’ve been lied to your entire life—by the media, the government, the education system, all of it.” The book dives deep into the idea that we’re not just flesh-and-blood humans walking around clueless.

We’re infinite consciousness—trapped in a system designed to keep us small, afraid, and disconnected.

Remember Who You Are is not just some surface-level conspiracy theory rant, either. He goes all-in on the idea that reality itself is a kind of illusion—a hologram—manipulated by forces most people don’t even know exist.

It’s not about convincing you; it’s about shaking you awake. The core of it? You’re not who you think you are. You’ve been programmed. And unless you start questioning everything, you’ll never break out.

If you’re the kind of person who’s tired of being told what to think, this book will hit you like a freight train. It challenges the whole system—and it doesn’t care if it makes you uncomfortable.

Remember Who You Are Star Ratings

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4 out of 5 stars)

Remember Who You Are Impact: 5/5
This book hits like a freight train. Whether you agree with Icke or not, you won’t walk away the same. It forces you to think bigger, question harder, and confront the idea that your entire life might be built on lies.

Remember Who You Are Clarity: 3/5
Let’s be real—some parts are dense, scattered, and heavy on repetition. Icke isn’t always clear, and the writing can feel like a brain dump more than a structured argument. But if you stick with it, the core message punches through.

Remember Who You Are Originality: 5/5
You won’t find this perspective in mainstream bookshelves. Reptilian elites, holographic realities, vibrational prisons—this is fringe thinking on steroids. Whether you call it genius or madness, it’s definitely unique.

Remember Who You Are Credibility: 2/5
If you’re looking for sources, citations, or peer-reviewed anything—don’t bother. This isn’t science, it’s Icke’s worldview. You either take the red pill or put the book down.

Remember Who You Are Overall Value: 4/5
If you’re awake or starting to wake up, this is worth reading. It’s not for everyone. But for the right person, it’s a full system reset—a mental sledgehammer you didn’t know you needed.

What does it mean to remember who you are?

Remembering who you are spiritually typically involves reconnecting with your true essence or higher self beyond the limitations of your ego or physical existence.

This concept is often associated with various spiritual and religious traditions, each with its own interpretation.

Here are some common aspects of remembering who you are in a spiritual sense:

Self-Realization: It involves recognizing your true nature, which may be described as divine, pure consciousness, or interconnectedness with all of existence. This realization often transcends the boundaries of the individual self and leads to a profound sense of unity and oneness.
Awakening: Remembering who you are can feel like an awakening or an experience of enlightenment, where you become aware of deeper truths beyond the illusions of the material world. This awakening may involve a shift in perspective, values, and priorities.
Soul Journey: Many spiritual traditions hold that a soul or higher self transcends the physical body. Remembering who you are may involve reconnecting with this eternal aspect of yourself and aligning with its purpose and journey.
Authenticity: It entails living in alignment with your true values, passions, and inner guidance, rather than being swayed by societal expectations or ego-driven desires. Remembering who you are involves embracing your authenticity and expressing yourself fully.
Consciousness Expansion: Remembering who you are often involves expanding your consciousness beyond the confines of the ego mind. This expansion may be facilitated through meditation, mindfulness, prayer, or contemplation.
Healing and Integration: Sometimes, remembering who you are requires healing past wounds, traumas, or conditioning that may have obscured your true nature. It involves integrating all aspects of yourself—both light and shadow—to achieve wholeness and self-acceptance.
Service and Contribution: Many spiritual teachings emphasize the importance of serving others and making a positive impact on the world. Remembering who you are may involve recognizing your interconnectedness with all beings and channeling your unique gifts and talents for the greater good.

Overall, remembering who you are in a spiritual sense is a deeply personal and transformative journey that leads to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and fulfillment. It’s about reclaiming your inherent wisdom, love, and power as a spiritual being having a human experience.

My Routine To Find Books To Read

My usual routine for finding books to read at the bookstore was like this.

Whatever pressing problem I was facing, I would let my intuition guide me to the book I needed, with the answers I sought. Intuition is quiet. You have to let go and allow yourself to let in the answers you seek.

For instance, if I were struggling to forgive someone, my intuition would guide me to the book I needed that held the answer.

Well, on this particular day, I felt fed up with life. I just felt dismayed (for lack of a better word) with my life experience on planet Earth —people, money, politics, work, religion, relatives—you name it. I was jaded.

So, I said to my intuition, “I just want the truth, tell me the truth about life. Tell me the truth about this world that we live in because I want some answers damn it?”

As usual, I let my intuition guide me; I was guided past the spiritual section and over to the metaphysical section, where my attention was immediately focused on a book titled...and The Truth Shall Set You Free.

Once I saw the book’s title, I knew my intuition did not fail me because that is what I asked for – THE TRUTH! I looked at the author’s name: David Icke. I pronounced his name “Ick,” but it’s pronounced “Ike.”

When I picked up the book and sat down to read it, I expected to decipher some spiritual “mumbo jumbo” about finding the truth within or something like that.

Even I was beginning to get sick of all the “New Age Bullshit.”

I was in for a surprise because the book did not have much to do with that kind of information, even though Icke writes/talks a lot about spirituality in his books and lectures.

Mind Blown Away By This Book

All I can tell is that the information in The Truth Shall Set You Free blew my mind away. After reading it, I found every book this Icke fellow wrote.

It’s true; if you like your current view and beliefs about the world, then under no circumstances should you read any of his books because you will never be the same if you do.

Icke is a master at connecting the dots to who controls our world and what means and measures they will use to keep that power.

Some refer to Icke as a conspiracy theorist, others as a messiah. Icke refers to himself only as a presenter of information.

Either way, I plan to see one of David’s speaking engagements because he is probably the only person who could hold my attention for eight hours.

I bought two other David Icke books and read several more at the bookstore without buying them; this one (Remember Who You Are) is a little smaller than I am used to.

Most of Icke’s books are the size of an Encyclopedia, but he reviews a lot of information from earlier editions. Some of you might be wondering why I am writing about this.

We all need to know what kind of world we live in and the people in the shadows who are covertly running this world into the ground.

I have always been open-minded, so I don’t believe in rejecting information that differs from what I consider true. Icke’s books are among the most profound I have ever read.

So, if you haven’t read any of Icke’s books, do that now.

Key Concepts and Ideas In Remember Who You Are

The Human Hologram
Reality isn’t what you think it is. Icke argues we’re living in a kind of simulation—a projected illusion that tricks us into believing this physical world is all there is. It’s like playing a video game and thinking you’re actually the character. You’re not. You’re the one holding the controller—you just forgot.

The Reptilian Agenda
Yeah, it sounds crazy at first—but Icke is dead serious. He claims there are non-human entities—shapeshifting reptilian beings—controlling society from behind the scenes. Governments, royalty, media… It’s all infiltrated. Whether you believe it or not, his point is: the power structure you see isn’t what’s really running the show.

The Archontic Control System
This is where it gets spiritual and mechanical at the same time. He introduces the idea of “Archons”—manipulative entities that hijack human perception. Their goal? Keep us stuck in fear, division, and low vibrational states. It’s like malware in your brain. You think you’re choosing, but you’re being programmed.

The Vibrational Prison
You’re not just being controlled mentally—you’re being tuned to the wrong frequency. According to Icke, everything is vibration. And the system keeps you operating at a low level—stress, fear, anxiety—so you never access your higher state of being. It’s like trying to stream 4K video on dial-up. You’ve got the power, but the signal’s jammed.

Infinite Consciousness
Here’s the twist: you’re not powerless. In fact, you’re infinite. That’s the message. You’re not your job, your body, your thoughts, or even your name. You’re awareness itself. And once you “remember” that, the system loses control over you. It’s the ultimate power move—unplugging from the lie.

The whole book is a blueprint for mental, spiritual, and societal rebellion. You don’t have to agree with every word—but if you don’t at least question what you’ve been taught, you’re playing someone else’s game without even knowing it.

Criticisms and Controversies Of Remember Who You Are

It’s Out There—Way Out There
Let’s just say this up front: most people think Icke’s completely off the rails. He talks about reptilian shapeshifters, multidimensional control systems, and the idea that reality is an illusion. For the average person, that’s not just outside the box—it’s on another planet. Critics say he’s lost touch with reality, and that the book reads more like sci-fi than serious analysis.

Accusations of Pseudoscience
The book throws around a lot of terms—vibrations, frequencies, holograms, energy fields—but with zero scientific backing. This isn’t peer-reviewed stuff. It’s a raw, unfiltered opinion. To the academic world, this isn’t knowledge—it’s noise. They write him off because he doesn’t play by the rules of evidence and structure.

Conspiracy Overload
Icke doesn’t stop at one theory—he stacks dozens on top of each other. Secret societies, global elites, alien control grids, media mind control… it’s all in there. For critics, this is the problem: it’s so much at once, it collapses under its own weight. There’s no clear through-line, just layer after layer of claims that sound too wild to believe.

Controversial Past Statements
Icke’s been labeled everything from a genius to a dangerous conspiracy theorist. He’s faced bans from countries, censorship on platforms, and accusations of promoting anti-Semitic ideas—especially when he talks about global control networks. He denies the hate, but critics say his language and symbolism cross the line.

Echo Chamber Effect
The book doesn’t encourage open dialogue—it assumes you’re either “awake” or still “asleep.” That means if you disagree with him, you’re just blind. There’s no room for nuance or middle ground. That turns off many critical thinkers who might otherwise be open to challenging ideas.

Bottom line? Remember Who You Are is either mind-opening or mind-numbing, depending on how much you’re willing to entertain ideas far outside the mainstream. For some, it’s the red pill. For others, it’s just a hard pass.

Who Should Read Remember Who You Are

This book is for the person who looks around and feels like they’re being lied to—but can’t quite put their finger on it. If you’ve ever thought, “Why does everything feel fake?”—this book will speak directly to that feeling. It won’t give you polished answers, but it will tear apart the script you’ve been handed.

If you’re done playing by the rules society gave you…
You’re not interested in being another cog in the machine. You want to question things. Break patterns. Go deeper. This book gives you permission to do that—without apologizing for it. It’s not comfortable reading, but comfort’s what got most people stuck in the first place.

If you’re on a spiritual journey but sick of the fluff…
Forget the love-and-light, rainbows-and-crystals stuff. Icke goes deep into spirituality, but he doesn’t sugarcoat it. He’s talking about war on consciousness, frequency manipulation, and reclaiming your inner power. If that resonates with you more than feel-good Instagram quotes, read this.

If you want to think for yourself—even if it gets messy…
This book challenges everything: history, science, religion, politics, media. And while a lot of it is controversial, that’s the point. It forces you to think critically, not blindly accept what you’re told. If you’re the kind of person who’d rather explore dangerous ideas than stay safe in ignorance, this book’s for you.

If you’re not afraid of being called crazy…
Let’s be real—reading this book might get you labeled. But if you’re more concerned with finding truth than fitting in, Icke’s message will hit hard. It’s for the few, not the many. It’s for those ready to wake up—even if that means standing alone.

Remember Who You Are Review Conclusion

For the record, Icke, along with other authors in his niche, will be the first to tell you they don’t have 100% of all the information, nor are all their works 100% accurate.

In other words, always do your homework and connect the dots.

This Remember Who You Are isn’t here to make you feel good. It’s here to rip your comfort zone to shreds. Icke’s not handing you a step-by-step formula for success—he’s throwing you into the deep end and daring you to wake up.

He’s saying everything you think you know about the world—your identity, your purpose, your freedom—it’s all been manipulated.

The core message? You’re not a powerless human stuck in a broken system. You’re infinite consciousness—you just forgot.

And the only way out of this mental and spiritual prison is to remember who you are and start questioning everything. Not some things. Everything.

You won’t agree with every word. And that’s fine. You’re not supposed to. But if this book does one thing right, it’s this: it forces you to confront the possibility that you’ve been living in a lie—and gives you the guts to break free from it.

Takeaway: Whether you believe in reptilians or not, whether you buy the hologram theory or think it’s nuts, this book challenges you to stop living life on autopilot.

And if that gets you to take back control of your mind, your energy, and your identity—then it did its job.
