Hey, I’ve got the video (and book), but it might be worth the trip!
You might like to try Rex Deus: The True Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau and the Dynasty of Jesus by Tim Wallace Murphy.
[url:2shp3jbn]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rex-Deus-Mystery-Rennes-le-Chateau-Dynasty/dp/1862044724[/url]
While the reviewers make it clear there are no new revelations (and much inevitable speculation) in this book, it seems to be a good summary of the whole Rex Deus shenannegans.
There’s also The Dragon Legacy: The Secret History of an Ancient Bloodline by Nicholas de Vere.

Quite a trip this one, apparently!
I’m following up a possible case of medieval sacred landscape geometry (churches and stuff – not in Yorkshire).
I’m looking for historical context (always useful!), with some success – trying to find out the who, what, when, where and why of it.
It’s possible, even likely, the man you seek was an ancestor of this William – who was a Templar himself, but a late one. I’d say it was worth following up.
While poking around I found localish (to you) references to another Templar, Peter de Mauley, familiar to me from my own recent researches. He was suspected of (involvement in) the murder of Arthur of Brittany to make way for John to become king, and a witness to Magna Carta.
He built Mulgrave Castle near Whitby. There is also an ancient stone cross on the moors near Pickering called Mauley Cross.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/yr … northm.txtThere is an interesting monument to a Templar Peter de Mauley in the church at Bainton ‘Cathedral of the Wolds’ (probably a descendant – there were 7 generations of ‘Peter’). http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ER … index.html
It actually filled up nicely towards the middle of the day, so I guess people were travelling the same day instead of staying locally as I did (thanks, sis).
Robert Feather’s book The Secret Initiation of Jesus at Qumran : The Essene Mysteries of John the Baptist details the possible discovery of JtB’s grave (and headless skeleton!).

Anyway, I’m off the the Forbidden Knowledge Conference, so I’ll report back later. There’s also that book I promised I was going to review a while back, but I haven’t finished it yet. Hmm.
Maltwood’s claims for GZ’s historical reality are problematic, not only because much of the area was likely underwater at the time of its supposed origin, but also because she felt the need to validate it on historical grounds at all. But I suppose if she was personally convinced of its historic reality she felt obliged to date it.
It’s too easy with our current knowledge of archaeology to dismiss her claim, while throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I think it is valid to build something new out of a synthesis of elements from diverse ages/cultures, as the GZ seems to do. I call it creative mythology.
Yuri,
Interested to see your work on the Glastonbury Zodiac – particularly the background to the mysterious Dee quote ( http://uk.geocities.com/yuri.leitch@bti … enigma.htm ).
Given that the terrestrial zodiac topic is shunned even by ‘earth mysteries’ types, it would be good to hear your take on them. I know that AC and others have used GZ as a psychic questing tool.
I often experience a quite hypnotic rotating spiral pattern on the back of my eyelids – during moments of relaxation, rather than altered states of consciousness (although I am also aware of the ‘entoptic’ geometric imagery associated with the onset of altered states).
For me it’s a bit like this (but more busy and blurry): [url:1i8fg2in]http://tinyurl.com/lp2q8[/url]
Will do Yuri, but all in good time. I went and bought one of Novak’s book’s – ‘The Lost Secret of Death’ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157174 … e&n=283155 – over 300 pages, but a bargain at ~£6. Fascinating stuff.
Hi all,
Just thought I’d throw this into the mix…
The legend of the “Skull of Sidon” provides an origin for the skull and crossbones symbol:
Quote:A great lady of Maraclea was loved by a Templar, A Lord of Sidon; but she died in her youth, and on the night of her burial, this wicked lover crept to the grave, dug up her body and violated it. Then a voice from the void bade him return in nine months time for he would find a son. He obeyed the injunction and at the appointed time he opened the grave again and found a head on the leg bones of the skeleton (skull and crossbones). The same voice bade him ‘guard it well, for it would be the giver of all good things’, and so he carried it away with him. It became his protecting genius, and he was able to defeat his enemies by merely showing them the magic head. In due course, it passed to the possession of the order.From The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln [url:37cnctbc]http://www.templarhistory.com/sidon.html[/url]
I fancy I can detect something of the ‘Binary Soul Doctrine’ [url:37cnctbc]http://www.geocities.com/divisiontheory/[/url], in this legend, but maybe I’m reading too much into it (I’m trying out this theory on all kinds of myths/legends right now, having just discovered it – like a kid with a new toy!).
Aw, I really wanted to know what AC’s hairdryer is worth!
For me too it’s about the personal journey. The ‘meaningful coincidence’ of synchronicity is a personal affair. There’s no need to prove anything to anybody.
Maybe, though, I should be less inclined to view found artefacts as materialistic traps or props to justify the path taken and spur the quester on. As ‘power objects’, such artefacts can be used for both creative and destructive ends.
Quote:I mean, comparing it to the placebo effect is all very well, but that’s something that doctors do either if they really can’t do anything except pretend they can help in order to keep the patient’s spirits up, or they reckon the disease is all in the patient’s mind and they don’t want to waste expensive drugs on a non-existent illnessThat’s a very orthodox view of the placebo effect, Dan. Placebos can have very real effects on a persons health, and they don’t necessarily involve deceit on the part of the healer, just belief on the part of the patient (one of the fundamentals of the alternative health movement is to challenge the unbalanced power relationship between doctor and patient that exists in orthodox medicine).
Likewise, synchronicities (objectively, coincidences – even highly probable ones) can have a real and profound effect on a person’s spiritual development.
Since no-one on this thread has admitted to any great psychic ability there’s been a tendency to theorise – interesting parallels between quantum physics and psychology, but no real light shed on the apports phenomenon. But I don’t suppose those who have experienced such things have a ready explanation either…
Quote:So, it’s the wrong ‘Mary’ and the wrong birdSo was it the wrong quest? Maybe there’s another one there to be followed!
Quote:Perhaps I need a new cryptosmileyglyph…Nah. Eccles with the freckles – your stuck with it now.
Can’t get a handle on this quantum physics stuff either – that’s why I took the psychological angle (and also just to play devil’s advocate).
Simon, speaking of synchronicity – quester, degree in psychology, working for the www, living in Surrey, 2 infants – what else do we have in common? Star sign?
Er… I’m not trying to chat you up!! Noo.So Simon,
Ain’t this just basic psychology, not cutting edge physics? The physicists are straying into psychological territory, but the psychologists have been waiting to join the science club for years!
Instead of Schroedinger’s Cat, consider this:
It has two potential states, but collapses into one or the other, depending on your chosen viewpoint – from above or below. But – and here’s the point – both collapsed (3D) states, are an illusion – the ‘reality’ is it’s a 2D image. Actually, the image reminds me somewhat of the ‘three hares’ topic: [url:1z4v3042]http://www.psychicquesting.com/ftopict-29.html[/url]. They seem to be like a restless wave function that never quite collapses.OK, so now extend this idea to the world as we know it and we have the concept of maya.
Bringing the discussion back to apports for our spotty friend (where’d he go?), our everyday understanding of time and space is an illusion. Change our perception and things can pop out from ‘the other side’.
That suggests that ‘the other side’ with its apparitions and all, is also illusory. I am reminded (returning to my ‘guiding hand’ analogy) of the Brian Conley Show – “It’s a PUPPET!“.
