Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gardner explains further why Jesus and the Holy bloodline of the Grail is special in this volume. The Annunnaki gods created Adam, who was the first priest king carrying more of the god's genes than the rest of us. This royal line has supposedly preserved its genetics down through time to the present day.
There is an compelling section on how the Hebrew Bible is largely influenced from previous Sumerian works such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. There is also an attempt to explain why the Sumerian was such an anomalously advanced civilization when compared to others at the time. Gardner thinks it's because of the genetic tinkering of the gods with the human line.
Gardner does an interesting analysis on the Moses story in the Bible and comes to the conclusion that he was actually the abdicated king Akhenaton, a half Hebrew, half Egyptian king deposed because of his insistence on imposing a monotheistic god on the Egyptian populace. Various inconsistencies in the Bible are discussed and Gardner comes to the conclusion that it is a corrupted text from the older Sumerian accounts, corrupted for the religious/ political reasons of the Jewish and Christian priesthood.
Gardner stands things on their head, saying that Cain is actually the holy bloodline and not the inferior line of Seth. The Serpent in the Garden is actually the Annunaki god Enki who offers wisdom to humanity as opposed to his brother Enlil, which is the Hebrew god who wants to keep us down. Miriam is not mentioned much in the Bible, but actually she was a prominent religious leader of the Hebrews, but she was shafted by the male priesthood who wanted to get her out the Bible because she was female. Standard blasphemous stuff, you know. Gardner says that our religious beliefs are starting to change because of all the archeological documents that have been discovered which give us a different account of what we have been told traditionally. I suppose it's easy to be fooled with the Biblical stories. People are introduced to them at a young age when their critical faculties are low.
I liked this one better than Bloodline because it didn't get bogged down with a lot of name dropping and intricate genealogies, although these lines are listed and commented on some. I'm really neutral on the revelations. I suppose it will be welcomed by modernists and scorned by traditionalists in the endless chatter of society. I don't know if it will change my personal views much. It was a mind bending trip though. There are actually other authors out there that have looked at archeological evidence and claim that the Bible is accurate, so it comes down to who you want to believe. Everyone has their clever arguments for everything.
And oh yeah, I've read that David Icke has a tape out saying that this guy is nefarious Reptile alien, so who can you trust? Maybe such accusations stem from class conflict or professional jealousy. Both authors cover similar territory and have similar views. Gardner is high born and Icke is well, a former soccer player/hooligan from the projects.

The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The over-riding theme of Manly P. Hall's book is that the most basic secret teaching is that one should overcome your animal, lower, inferior nature of lust, hatred, and greed and become more spiritual, realizing that this world is an illusion, which isn't your true home, and your body is not your true self. By following the golden rule instead of the rule of gold, one can become enlightened enough to avoid ever having to come back to this awful world again. Wisdom is to be valued more than gold. If you do not attain such spiritual wisdom, you are doomed to repeat your experiences by reincarnating or you may experience hell or purgatory, according to some faith traditions.
Hall criticizes modern times as being too materialistic. The more you focus on earthly desires, the more you become bound to it, the more misery you shall suffer here and after death. You should follow the urges of your higher self, the spirit and soul, which operate above you in the heavenly realms as your body stays upon on this earth while you learn your lessons.
But as far as lust goes, Hall does not recommend that everyone become celibate, since if you are not particularly enlightened it would not be appropriate for you and may lead to neurosis.
Hall goes over the symbolism of many esoteric traditions in this mostly interesting, but sometimes boring book. This is a big, long, thick book that is crammed with so much information it's hard to remember it all. A lot of the explanations of symbols gets tedious after awhile and I asked the question occasionally, "Why should this be important to me?" Especially dense was the sections on the Kabala symbolism. Hall also goes over Biblical symbolism as allegorical true, not literally true, and it is based on earlier pagan traditions.
I liked the sections on black magic versus white magic and the life of Doctor Faust, who Hall claims was a real person. Hall warns us never to get involved with black magic and make pacts with evil spirits for our own temporal and selfish gain since we will be doomed to serve the spirit for eternity once we break one of the conditions of the contract as Faust did. Such evil comes from selfishness, the source of all evil. Hall is even cautions us against hypnosis and calls high pressure salesmanship a form of black magic. He says that mediums that pretend to be speaking to dead loved ones are actually elemental spirits acting like dead loved ones. It is not good to dabble in black magic just out of curiosity. I was surprised he sounded so much like a fundamentalist preacher on this topic.
White magic, however, seems to be okay with him and he has a section in which one is shown how magic can be used by invoking Christ's name and giving him the glory, using it for the expansion of your wisdom, not the fulfillment of your selfish desires.
Hall gets into the question of who really wrote Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare himself really did not have the educational background to be able write the plays that had so many erudite references. Hall shows us that Francis Bacon was the one who wrote the plays and the various ways that he gave clues that he actually did write them. Francis Bacon was also a freemason who had the knowledge of how to conceal information through cryptograms, which are contained in his writings.
The book covers a myriad of esoteric topics and persuades the reader to take seriously the phenomena of alchemy, the Delphic oracles, and the mysterious Saint Germaine, among other things. The freemasonic origins of the United States is covered some also.
Alchemy is the process of turning base metals into gold. Metaphysically, humans are also attempting over several lifetimes to eliminate their base natures and turn to the golden light of virtue. That is what alchemy allegorically represents. Hall gives of us some examples in history in which alchemy was said to have actually occurred.
The French and American Revolutions were inspired by the freemasons. This occult group wanted to get rid of the tyranny of monarchy, the ignorance of the general populace, and the superstitions of the church. By electing a philosophical elect, the people would be well served by their governments (in theory). The original seal of the US might actually be the occult symbol of the phoenix, instead of the eagle. The French Revolution was not as successful for the freemasons since a violent reign of terror ensued, perpetrated by fanatics.
Why is the occult kept hidden from the general populace? It is hidden because of the prejudice against certain occult teachings that people aren't ready to accept. The powerful status quo is also threatened by such teachings. There is the prohibition of against throwing your pearls before swine who will only abuse such teachings. One must be worthy to accept the mysteries, which means that you have to be moral enough to receive the teachings. Mystery schools often have initiates go through many trying ordeals before they are considered worthy enough to reach the next level of wisdom.
Some occultists have a reputation for being immoral though. Hall explains that occult schools are only as good as the people in control of them. Over the years, a once virtuous group can become corrupted. That is the reason why some occult groups are considered bad.

Warlock: A Novel of Ancient Egypt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In 'River God' Wilbur Smith created magic, intrigue and character with Taita - the slave, eunuch, Pharoah's confidant, artist, architect and bombast. Readers could not get enough of him, and salivated at the prospect of his return, finding glimpses of him in 'The Seventh Scroll'.'
In Warlock, Taita returns : ancient, arcane and mystic from his hidden desert cave, where he'd been communing with his beloved mistress Lostris-she's now a Goddess in the pantheon and his protector. She wants him to return to action and save her grandson, Nefer Memnon-the boy pharoah from the turmoil and intrigue that will arise with the assassination of her son and present pharoah Tamose.
It's open season for the slaying of gods as both Tamose and Apepi, the Hyksos pharoah are brutally murdered by rivals who plot to rule both the upper and lower kingdom and rule the world. From this turmoil, Taita extricates Nefer and Mintaka-Apepi's daughter and smoothens their ongoing romance, even as they rebuild their lost kingdoms in the deserted city of Gallala.
In the midst of the battles and the political intrigue, Taita's formidable new weapons of magic and his shadowy presence overlook all the principal characters: he is 'the magus'- the warlock and adversary to his enemies, and 'Tata'- the father figure to his friends.
The 'River God'is by far, the best book that Wilbur Smith has written and you can see him trying hard to replicate his success by building on the character of Taita. But without Tanus and Lostris-Taita's god and goddess, he struggles to find inspiration. Or, did Wilbur Smith make the fatal mistake of forgetting that we liked Taita when he told us his story in a first person narrative, so that we could laugh and cry with his charms and foibles?
Wilbur Smith's fans all over the world will find it strange that 'Warlock'is the first book that is not dedicated to his wife, Danielle. Instead he has a new love in his life, and I suspect that his present romance kept him from fleshing out the characters of Nefer and the villain Naja in better detail. Still, a page-turner for all of us Taita fans and Egyptologists. Let's just appeal to Wilbur Smith and say : 'Make Warlock the second part of your trilogy (ignoring 'The Seventh Scroll'which is set in modern times) and we'll ensure that it is compulsory reading, before he comes out with the concluding book in the Taita series.

Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book, but not an easy read. There is much here to be read several times and pondered upon.
The author states his purpose in writing the book is: "To suggest an interpretation of Egyptian metaphysical tradition in harmony with with the teachings set forth in what we call the mysteries."
In the introduction, the author lodges a valid criticism of some academics in the fields of Egyptology and archaeology. He makes a distinction between two types of academics. The first are those who are too close to the to see the trees. They are "materialistic minded men" bent on maintaining their reputations and place in the academic community. Terrified of controversy and change. Unwilling to accept conclusions and new theories based on the latest scientific methods. The second group are those bold enough to speculate on new ideas based to modern exploration and research. These people are unafraid to reveal their conclusions to public scrutiny.
This work will be of interest to hard-core students of Freemasonry, especially those who are open-minded and inclined to search for the roots of Freemasonry among the ancient Egyptians.
To the Master Mason interested in the origins of the Craft, the section dealing with the "Crata Repoa" will be quite interesting. To avoid forming the misconception that he is reading the narrative of a modern ritual The reader must keep in mind the author is dealing with a ritual that could only have originated in ancient Egypt and passed down through the ages. Ultimately, the reader must make up his own mind about the information presented by the author.
In chapter Four, "The Secret Doctrine of Egypt", Freemasons will be fascinated by the author's treatment of the "Widow's Son".
Those who are not members of the Masonic fraternity may have difficulty grasping some of the concepts relating to Freemasonry presented by the author.
Manly P. Hall was raised on November 22, 1954 in Jewel Lodge No. 374. In 1990 Mr Hall was elevated to the 33d degree, the highest honor and degree in Freemasonry.
The author has written other books on Freemasonry: "The Lost Keys of Freemasonry"; Masonic Orders of the Fraternity"; and "The Secret Destiny of America".
An extremely interesting section of the book presents the author's perspective concerning the "Curse of Tutankhamen's Tomb".
In my opinion, this book will not be well received by Christian Fundamentalists and the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, based on the author'frank and historically correct criticism of these two groups.

The Lost Keys of Freemasonry (Also Includes: Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians / Masonic Orders of Fraternity) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have you ever noticed the strange symbols on the back of the US dollar bill? Have you wondered about the origins of those symbols and how our Founding Fathers ever came up with them? You are looking at symbols related to the ancient Fraternity of Freemasonry. Many of the Founders of our Constitution were members of that mysterious order. If you have ever wondered about that secret society, now is your chance to find out. The three works published together for the first time in this volume will push aside the veil of the inner temple and lead you into its mysteries.
Freemasonry is a spiritual philosophy with its roots in antiquity. These roots are rumored to extend back to the Ancient Egyptians who were the builders of the pyramids and the sacred temples at Thebes and Luxor. It is about the spiritual journey of the soul and the effort to defeat the negative influences that seek to overcome it and release the magnificence of the soul's true splendor. The philosophy is about the spiritual journey and, yet, is attached to no specific religion. Masonic Orders have been comprised of members of all faiths.
As you step into this book, you become the Initiate who is led through many trials to attain the various levels of self-knowledge and ultimately, enlightenment and the true knowledge of his own Divine nature. The journey is fraught with perils both of the Master's devising and those of the Initiate's own shortcomings.
Once you read this book, you will see the world differently. Hidden symbols that you barely noticed before will leap out at you alive with meaning. This book will reveal a world of mystery surrounding you that you never saw before.

Here is Manly P. Hall's classic work on history's most secretive brotherhood- reset and collected with two additional celebrated Hall volumes on occult Masonry. Freemasonry is the subject of perennial fascination-recently the cover story of a national newsmagazine, the premise of the movie National Treasure, and the anticipated basis of a forthcoming novel by Dan Brown. The twentieth century's great scholar of occult and esoteric ideas, Manly P. Hall was a Mason himself and nurtured a lifelong interest in the secret fraternal order, making it the focus of one of his earliest and best-loved books, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry. In this celebrated work, he examines the ethical training required of a Freemason, and the character traits a Mason must "build" within himself. Hall's 1923 volume is now reset and made available exclusively in this new edition, along with the author's two further classics on Masonry: - Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians (1937), which explores the roots of Freemasonry in the initiatory temple rites of Pharaonic Egypt; and - Masonic Orders of Fraternity (1950), a fascinating work of short history that chronicles the reemergence of Freemasonry in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It surveys the lives of Masonry's modern architects and the secretive organizations that immediately preceded the brotherhood. This three-in-one volume features the original illustrations of each book, for a total of nearly thirty images, including recreations of scenes and rites from Masonry's unusual history. Italso includes a new index encompassing all three titles.
