Was Jesus a Freemason? The discovery of evidence of the most secret rites of Freemasonry in an ancient Egyptian tomb led authors Chris Knight and Bob Lomas into and extraordinary investigation of 4,000 years of history. This astonishing bestseller raises questions that have challenged some of Western civilisation's most cherished beliefs: Were scrolls bearing the secret teachings of Jesus buried beneath Herod's Temple shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman's? Did the Knights Templar, the forerunners of modern Freemasonry, excavate these scrolls in the twelfth century? And were these scrolls subsequently buried underneath a reconstructionof Herod's Temple, Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland - where they are now awaiting excavation? The authors' discoveries shed a new light on Masonic ceremony and overturn out understanding of history.
The most complete summation to date of the New Testament evidence
for magical practice by Jesus and the early Christians. The very
notion of Jesus being a sorcerer runs so against the grain of the
Western cultural myth that even non-Christians are likely to find
it far-fetched or even vaguely disturbing. Nevertheless, scholars
steadily accumulated evidence for magical practices in the New
Testament throughout much of the 20th century. It is that ever
expanding body of knowledge that has made this book possible. This
book examines the following: The nature of the earliest Christian
documents, the defects of their trans-mission, and the evidence for
the suppression of descriptions of magical acts. The closely
related problem of the New Testament accounts as historical
sources. The radically apocalyptic nature of Jesus' message and the
expectations of the early church. The failure of the apocalypse to
occur and the theological reaction to that failure. The role of
magic and mystery religion in early Christianity. A revisiting of
the story of the "beloved disciple" and what it may tell us about
Jesus and suppression of evidence about his life. Contents:

A stirring work that offers a chilling glimpse into the negligence,
greed, murder, and, at times, comical disorganization behind some
of the CIA's most controversial secret operations, this book
collects the first five issues of the zine. Summarizing the
influence the CIA had in the assassination of Martin Luther King
Jr.; the AIDS virus; the killing of Filiberto Ojeda Rios, a Puerto
Rican independence movement leader; the Patriot Act; and the
Iran-Contra affair, this forthright representation provides an
behind the scenes look at the United States' foreign and domestic
policies. The radical claims presented are built on fact and posit
an accessible alternative to mainstream histories that help to
contextualize current events and the worldwide anti-American
backlash.
Rosslyn Chapel is a deeply enigmatic 15th-century Gothic
masterpiece, situated near Edinburgh. Although generally referred
to as a 'chapel' and acting as a local parish church these days,
Rosslyn is actually much more than either - and in fact most people
who have studied the site in detail come to the conclusion that
those who created the structure in the 15th century were not, in
reality, intent on building a Christian church at all. In fact,
nothing at Rosslyn is what it seems. With its overpowering air of
mystery, its superlative stone carvings and its strong Templar and
Freemasonic connections, Rosslyn represents one of the most
absorbing historical puzzles in Britain. The discovery of new
evidence by the authors puts a new slant on the motivations of
those who decided to create a New Jerusalem in the Scottish
Lowlands. The signs pointed the authors to a lost holy relic - the
skull of St Matthew the Evangelist, in whose name the chapel is
dedicated. There is startling evidence that this skull came to
Rosslyn in the early 15th century, brought there by polymath,
librarian and all-round genius Sir Gilbert Hay, who also put
together a substantial library. What follows is no less than an
adventure, using the clues from the lost books to locate St
Matthew's skull - now in Washington, DC. The authors also embark on
a thorough examination of Rosslyn Chapel's credentials, both a
Christian church and as an icon of the impending Renaissance, a
reconstruction of King Solomon's Temple and an astronomical
observatory - all suffused with ancient beliefs that would have had
the chapel's builders burned at the stake if their true motivations
had been discovered.
Mullins presents some bare facts about the Federal Reserve System
with subjects on: it IS NOT a U.S. government bank; it IS NOT
controlled by Congress; it IS a privately owned Central Bank
controlled by the elite financiers in their own interest. The
Federal Reserve elite controls excessive interest rates, inflation,
the printing of paper money, and have taken control of the
depression of prosperity in the United States.
In this enthralling historical detective story, the authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail trace the flight after 1309 of the Knights Templar from Europe to Scotland, where the Templar heritage was to take root, and would be perpetuated by a network of noble families. That heritage, and the Freemasonry that arose from it, became inseparable from the Stuart cause. The Temple and the Lodge charts the birth of Freemasonry through the survival of Templar traditions, through currents of European thought, through the mystery surrounding Rosslyn chapel, and through an elite cadre of aristocrats attached as personal bodyguards to the French king. Pursuing Freemasonry through the 17th and 18th Centuries, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh reveal its contribution to the fostering of tolerance, progressive values, and cohesion in English society, which helped to pre-empt a French-style revolution. Even more dramatically, the influence of Freemasonry emerges as key facto in the formation of the United States of America as an embodiment of the ideal 'Masonic Republic'.
* Explains how the Greys are bio-machines, synthetic beings sent
out to gather information about human souls and natural
consciousness * Shows how our consciousness has been hacked by the
Greys to filter our perceptions to be in line with their agenda to
steal our souls * Reveals how you can protect your soul field and
your consciousness from the Greys' terrible manipulations
Humanity's biggest existential threat is our headlong rush to a
technologically advanced future. Already we increasingly rely on
smart devices to the point that they are becoming extensions of our
bodies. We are at a turning point for our species in which our
natural humanity is gradually being converted into an artificial
format that will lead to the loss of our souls. And, as Nigel
Kerner reveals in astonishing detail, the blueprints for this
future already exist. Kerner explains how there are civilizations
in our universe that have developed advanced technologies to become
entirely artificial. The Grey alien entities, reported in tens of
thousands of abductions, appear to be biomachines, synthetic beings
sent out as AI probes to gather information about something they
lack that humans and other natural beings possess: a soul.
Examining scientific, historical, cultural, and religious evidence
for Grey alien visitations as far back as 40,000 years ago, the
author reveals that the Greys themselves set us on this path toward
artificial intelligence millennia ago. Kerner shows how our
intrinsic nature as human beings is no longer entirely human: our
natural consciousness and DNA have been hacked, and an artificial
construct has been superimposed at the very foundation of our
thinking processes. The author shows how our rush toward a
technologically advanced, artificially intelligent future was
seeded and precipitated by the Greys in order to control us and
prepare us to fit in with their agenda for humanity. Revealing the
secret alien hives on our planet, their connections to governments,
and their ultimate endgame to harvest our souls and alter our DNA,
Kerner also shows how, by developing yourself on a soul level, by
recognizing your individual connection to divinity, you can protect
your soul field and your consciousness from the Greys' terrible
manipulations.
"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?" details the intriguing
connection between Cayce and Wilcock and presents the case for both
having the same source for their prophetic information. Through the
inspirational, life-transforming words from Wilcock's Higher Self,
part of a group known as soul readers, can learn how the now
obvious "Earth Changes" are energetic increases occurring also on
the sun and all other planets in scientifically measurable ways.
Breathtaking new evidence indicates how this energy can transform
DNA, potentially making ESP, telekinesis, levitation, and other
paranormal activities as common as breathing, ushering in the
"Golden Age" promised by every major spiritual tradition in human
history.
Throughout the twentieth century, from the furor over Percival Lowell's claim of canals on Mars to the sophisticated Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, otherworldly life has often intrigued and occasionally consumed science and the public. The Biological Universe provides a rich and colorful history of the attempts during the twentieth century to answer questions such as whether "biological law" reigns throughout the universe and whether there are other histories, religions, and philosophies outside those on Earth. Covering a broad range of topics, including the search for life in the solar system, the origins of life, UFOs, and aliens in science fiction, Steven J. Dick shows how the concept of extraterrestrial intelligence is a world view of its own, a "biophysical cosmology" that seeks confirmation no less than physical views of the universe. This book will fascinate astronomers, historians of science, biochemists, and science fiction readers.
