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 reconstruction of 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in Paperback! The Masonic secrets of our founding fathers. Turning the Solomon Key is an exhilarating quest to discover the Masonic influences which George Washington brought to bear on the layout of Washington D.C. In this second book of his Key trilogy, Robert Lomas has used Masonic rituals and Washington's own diaries to uncover the symbolic reasoning behind the positioning of the White House and the Capitol, and in the process he disposes of many anti-Masonic urban myths. This exciting, and authoritative, detective story then investigates the sources of creative behavior, to reveal a hitherto unsuspected Secret Science of Masonic Astrology which underpinned Washington's actions. The builders of Washington DC knew a great secret about the human condition. In Turning the Solomon Key, scientist and Masonic expert Robert Lomas explains exactly what it was. Turning the Solomon Key, at its heart, explains why high-achieving individuals share certain astrological characteristics, and why the Freemasons who founded our nation planned Washington, D.C., the way they did.

Download or read book The Hiram Key Revisited Freemasonry A Plan for a New World Order written by Christopher Knight Co-Author and published by Duncan Baird Publishers. This book was released on 2010-07-08 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Freemasonry nothing more than a benign and charitable men's social club as the Order insists or does it have a deeper and perhaps darker purpose? Could these men be part of the Illuminati - a group of intellectuals with extremely grand plans for the development of civilization? And if so, what is the grand plan that these men were so determined to bring about, and why should there be such opposition to it? Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that present-day freemasons are the spiritual descendents of an ancient priesthood that was forced to act in secrecy. In the early days of Christianity their views offended and opposed those of the orthodox Church, and later in feudal Europe, both the State and the established Church considered them heretics and sworn enemies. Yet they could not be silenced - or defeated - and members of this priesthood have continued to this day to work in subtle and sometimes subversive ways to achieve their aims, often occupying very elevated positions within Western society, and always maintaining complete anonymity to those outside their fellowship. The extraordinary story that unfolds in The Hiram Key Revisited reveals that the building of the modern world was no haphazard process. There was a grand plan - and it has succeeded. The New World Order is already here.

Download or read book The Lost Key written by Robert Lomas and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Lomas is the bestselling co-author of The Hiram Key and other international bestsellers on Freemasonic mysteries. Many say he is the model for Dan Brown's hero, Robert Langdon.The Lost Key contains revelations that only an initiate of the highest orders of esoteric Freemasonry is in a position to make. Here is the truth behind the hints in Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol that Freemasonry is concerned to reawaken the hidden potentialities and powers of the human mind.The thrilling narrative of this new book follows a candidate for initiation as he rises through the different grades of initiation, taking part in ceremonies that are sometimes terrifying but always revealing of new knowledge and presenting new mysteries which will only be solved when the next stage of initiation has been achieved. Dramatic episodes include the re-enacting of an ancient murder from 3,000 years ago in full gory detail, lowering the candidate on the end of a rope into a dark vault under the floor of the temple, holding a dagger to the candidates naked breast, and making the candidate attend his own funeral.In the secret teachings revealed to some high-level initiates, there is a type of instruction which seems curiously similar to religious and mystical teachings. Astrology, angels, chakras and the powers of the mind to operate independently of the body, such as in remote viewing, are all a part of Freemasonic lore.Robert Lomas is both a physicist - he teaches physics at Bradford Unversity - and a Freemason. Here he reveals to a wider public and also explains these secret teachings for the first time. He shows that while they are dismissed as superstitious by campaigners for atheism such as Richard Dawkins, they are very much part of the strange, paradoxical world opened up by the latest thinking in quantum physics. This is why he prefers to call them 'Supranatural'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditations on Masonic Symbolism is Master Mason John R. Heisman's reflective, scholarly exploration of the symbolism in the ritual of Freemasonry for Freemasons and non-Masons alike. While there is much to discover about the meaning of the hallmark Masonic symbols, there is nothing secret about Freemasonry's defining love for humanity. What Masonic symbols do reveal about the guiding purpose of a Masonic lodge is brought to light in Meditations on Masonic Symbolism, Master Mason John R. Heisman's reflective exploration of the symbolism in the ritual of Freemasonry that reveals how they illuminate ancient knowledge about mankind's relationship to God. A compilation of articles written for the author's Masonic Lodge, Blackmer Lodge No. 442, in his year as Master, Meditations on Masonic Symbolism sheds fascinating new light on Freemasonry for Freemasons and non-Masons alike about the workings of this worldwide and ancient fraternity. Often described as a secret society, owing to its use of certain symbols, the essays in Heisman's book help demystify Freemasonry for those who are interested in a deeper understanding of its mission. For instance, a variety of charities that are supported by Freemasonry and its millions of men and women are well known and easily recognizable. Children's hospitals are operated by Shriners throughout the world. Speech therapy centers, educational grants, eye care foundations, and homes for the aged are funded and operated by Scottish Rite Masons, Knights Templar, and Grand Lodges everywhere they are situated. Heisman's book explains Freemasonry as a fraternal organization with many groups, several of which are designed for boys and girls. All Masonic organizations have a charity and are devoted to the ideals of brotherly love, relief, and truth. Scholarly and philosophical, Meditations on Masonic Symbolism provides insight on recognizable Masonic symbols, such as the square and compass. From the significance of beauty in its architecture to the pillar of wisdom, each essay in this thoughtful collection reveals in detail the significance of the symbols and how they come together in this intricate and long contemplated belief system. In clear, accessible language, the book explains all manner of Freemasonry principles, including harmony, knowledge, brotherhood, unity, and more. While the rituals of the organization may only be attended by Freemasons, its lessons may be studied by anyone interested in subjects such as philosophy, comparative religion, liberal arts, and geometry. Meditations on Masonic Symbolism is a thought-provoking, elegant addition to any well-rounded library.
