Fast forward to today and these notes have found their way into a wonderful personal account of the Eye of Fire adventure. Be warned: this is not a rewrite of the original book. In fact it had been so long since I had read EoF that I had to go back and read it again to refresh my memory of the sequence of events.

Where the original was melodramatic and slightly frenzied, Boyd’s account is deeply personal, more measured and more reflective. Because of this both books actually stand well together as complementary rather than contradictory.  You feel reading Boyd’s account that it is less like a horror movie and more like a diary coming to life and it is all the more powerful for that.

I don’t want to say too much more. You need to read it for yourselves. Suffice to say that the writing style is very polished, quickly bringing those heady days back to life in your mind’s eye.  I very much suspect that Boyd’s account will become a fixed part of the questing canon and that future generations of questers will seek it out, not just for the unique perspective it offers on the EoF story, but because of the very practical questing techniques it contains.

Highly recommended.

It was a great couple of days and there were some great (unrehearsed) correlations between the presentations with Trickster making several appearances. There was so much more I wanted to say but as it was I ran over by 7 minutes.

Although it’s in the Bibliography, I must to highlight the Doctor Quantum link. These are short YouTube videos geared to show the basics of Quantum Theory to children. I’m not proud and I freely admit that I found these extremely useful to illustrate the theories in way that my resistant brain could comprehend.

Lastly, if you have downloaded the presentation and are interested in some very major future developments, please sign up to the special Mailing List here:Subscribe to Special Event pQ.com Mailing List You can find a little more information about the purpose of the list here: Special pQ.com Mailing List Info

I hope you enjoy it!

These will not, ever, be passed on to anyone else. In fact I will even be keeping these separate from the normal pQ.com newsletter mailing list.

You can unsubscribe at any time. A permanent unsubscribe link is on the website and you will get reminders of this with any emails that get sent.

I know that many attendees at the Questing Weekender swapped details. Please pass this link to everyone you think may be interested so that they can subscribe.

You will not get many emails. Don’t worry if things go quiet; the plan is to unleash something new around Christmas-time but this cannot happen unless we get everyone with an interest in Questing signed up first.

Many thanks, Simon Nugent

Sadly, Bernard died in his sleep at 01:30 on Tuesday 30 March 2010 at the age of 70.  He is survived by his wife, daughter and grandchildren.  You can read Andrew Collins’ tribute to him here:

Paul Weston has also written a piece about Bernard on his Avalonian Aeon blog here, which has a fantastic painting by Bernard adorning it:

As he ascends through the Empyrean Realms, let everyone who reads this raise a glass to this extraordinary man.

Fascinating stuff.  You can leave any comments and rate the video, and join the TeamHanash channel so that you’ll hear when the next video is released.  If you haven’t already read it, Andrew Collins’ website has the story of its discovery.  Click on News and scroll down – there is plenty on it, but I’d start by scrolling down to the Earthquest News for August 2009 (vol. 12, no.2).

As promised, we have the second Psychic Questing Weekender coming up later this year. The venue is, as before, the Village Hall (a.k.a. “The Social Centre”), in High Street, Avebury (opposite the Anglican church of St James), and the dates are Saturday, 19th September and Sunday 20th September. This year’s event will include a master class on psychic questing techniques, including understanding and utilizing your own personal universe to work outside the constrains of accepted reality.

More than this, I will use the event to exclusively showcase the mystical side of the story told in Beneath the Pyramids. It is a story involving sufi mystics, dreams, visions and the appearance of the odd artefact or two. All of it relates to future work discovering Giza’s lost underworld.

Since 2009 sees the 30th anniversary of the Green Stone affair, I will reveal brand new evidence regarding the historical perspective of the mystical world in which the Green Stone was alleged to have existed at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Moreover, there will be a chance for everyone to take part in an upcoming 30th anniversary visit to some of the key sites in question in the hope of furthering our knowledge of the subject.

Admission to the weekend event, which, like last year, will include a co-ordinated artefact retrieval, as well as meditations out in the Avebury landscape, will cost £25. Click here now for registration. Remember, there is limited space, so make sure you don’t miss out. http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/conference/tickets.htm
