When Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, both Masons, set out to find the origins of Freemasonry they had no idea they would find themselves unravelling the true story of Jesus Christ and the original Jerusalem Church. As a radically new picture of Jesus and his ultra~Jewish sect started to emerge, the authors came to the controversial conclusion that the key rituals of modern Freemasonry were practiced by the sect as a means of initiation into their community. Rigorously analyzing and comparing ancient Egyptian records, the Old and New Testaments, early Christian and Rabbinical texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the rituals of Freemasonry, the authors have been able to reconstruct the lost story of Jesus and his brother James and describe their struggle to establish the 'kingdom of heaven' upon earth using Masonic~style rituals. The establishment of the Christian Church is shown to be a political invention that has little connection with the man we call 'Christ'. The early Christians buried their most precious scrolls beneath Herod's temple shortly before they and the city was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Lost to the world for over a millennium they were clandestinely unearthed and interpreted by the infamous Order of the Knights Templar who adopted these ancient teachings and the rituals as their own. The book reaches its exciting climax with the authors deciphering precise clues concealed within Masonic ritual that turned out to be the key to unlocking the secret of the final resting place of the scrolls of Jesus: A magnificent shrine that is a detailed reconstruction of the ruined temple of Herod~built by the descendants of the Templars and the first modern Freemasons over 500 years ago. The true teachings of Jesus have survived and are waiting excavation!

If so, what happened to his family? Are descendants of his still alive today? At last the truth can be told. This extraordinary and controversial book, packed with intrigue, begins where others have ended. Laurence Gardner has been granted privileged access to European Sovereign and Noble archives, along with favoured insight into Chivalric and Church repositories. He proves for the first time that there is a royal heritage of the Messiah in the West, and documents the systematic and continuing suppression of records tracing the descent of the sacred lineage by regimes down the centuries. This unique book gives a detailed genealogical account of the authentic line of succession of the Blood Royal from the sons of Jesus and his brother James down to the present day. It casts penetrating new light on the Bible story and onto the enigmatic figures of Joseph of Arimathea and Mary Magdalene, and on the real truth behind the Arthurian legends and the Holy Grail. There is also a fascinating history of the Knights Templars of Jerusalem. Laurence Gardner, Prior of the Celtic Church's Sacred Kindred of Saint Columba, is an internationally known sovereign and chivalric genealogist. Distinguished as the Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain, he is Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes ~ a constitutional advisory body established in 1946. He is formally attached to the noble household guard of the Royal House of Stewart, founded at St Germain~en~ Laye in 1692, and is the Jacobi Historiographer Royal.

For over forty centuries the Great Pyramid of Giza has tantalized and baffled mankind. Is it a royal tomb, a treasure~house, an astronomical observatory, or an incredibly sophisticated public~works project? Or is it, as some believe, nothing less than the bible written in solid stone? Or could it even be a landmark of an earlier civilization, perhaps immeasurably older than Egypt itself? Peter Lemesurier explains the extraordinary facts of the Pyramid's siting and construction and goes on to uncover intriguing links between the Pyramid's picture of Man's place in the Universe and the religious traditions of Egypt, Palestine, India and even Central America. Since its original publication, The Great Pyramid Decoded has become a worldwide bestseller and an indispensable guide for all who seek to understand the mysteries of the past and the nature of the humane quest. Now revised and updated, this new edition contains further vital information.

It has dramatically increased in popularity in recent years through the work of Deepak Chopra in the United States. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word, derived from two roots, "vid" (knowledge) and "ayus" (life) which describe simply how this system is based on the knowledge of life. Ayurveda treats the patient and not the illness. It aims to prevent disease and promote health. According to Ayurvedic philosophy we are all composed of various combinations of five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth, and there are three forces called vata, pitta, and kapha through which these elements are manifested. In order to stay healthy, we must maintain the natural balance of all these elements. Using a blend of yoga, meditation, herbal medicine, and dietary advice, an Ayurvedic practitioner will prescribe a treatment of life that is unique to each and every one of us. If we adhere to this philosophy we will learn to be guardians of our own health.

A reinstated Scottish Parliament is on the political agenda, and recent Hollywood movies have renewed a worldwide interest in Scotland's sovereignty. Yet what of Scotland's Royal House of Stewart (Stuart), the family who were Guardians of the Realm for over 300 years? With the exile of James VII of Scots (II of England), Europe's longest reigning dynasty was deposed for challenging the authority of Parliament. Since then the true history of the Stewarts has been suppressed by successive Westminster governments, whose intrigues are revealed in this fascinating history. Drawing from family papers and official records, the author gives a compelling account of political corruption, assassination and parliamentary conspiracy. In these pages the heroes and victims of Scottish history live again ~ Macbeth; Robert the Bruce; Mary, Queen of Scots. Here are the facts about the Stone of Destiny, the Knights Templars, the Jacobite Risings and the American War of Independence. The author, a legitimate descendant of Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie), also includes his own personal overview of the contemporary Scottish social, economic and political scene. As Scottish nationhood re~emerges as a major issue, the telling of this truly epic history has never been more relevant.

Lavishly illustrated with paintings, engravings, maps and family trees, this fascinating work provides the most comprehensive source available on the Arthurian Legends. In his foreword, JOHN MATTHEWS outlines the various themes and sources and shows how the traditional material became incorporated into the established texts, such as Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur, reflecting the synthesis of Celtic and Continental European sources and combining to make a coherent Celtic and British mythology.

"The I Ching, a divinatory system with 3000 year old roots in the traditions of magic, shamanism and spiritual transformation. ~ The I Ching is an oracle. Its answers change the way you see things. Your anxieties, fears and desires emerge to be recognised and resolved, and hidden transformative energies are released. Developed as an essential wisdom system over 3000 years ago in China, the I Ching was originally reserved for the use of rulers but later its help became available to individuals in troubled times like our own. Inspired by C. G. Jung's insights into the psyche, and researched for more than 50 years through the aid of the Eranos Foundation of Switzerland, this edition is much more than another new translation. It presents the oracular core of the I Ching as a psychological tool, a way of connecting with the creative imagination that underlies all philosophies and systems. We need this book most when we stand at a crossroads of the soul, failed by rational thinking and with insufficient facts to guide us. In these situations it gives voice to a concerned with how we can best live as individuals in contact with both inner and outer worlds. The transforming power is achieved by focusing on the book as an oracle, a method developed over many years by the translation team to preserve the original wealth of the imagery. The result is a network of meaning that, when accessed correctly, provides insight into the hidden forces behind the very situation which prompted your question. The oracular symbols interact with our minds the way dream images do. This is the language of the I Ching. It is an active sourcebook for the care of the soul.
