Rosslyn - Guardian Of The Secrets Of The Holy Grail

This is one of the books sold by Rosslyn Chapel bookstore; it is very good, and the "ancient" teachings about the Galactic alignments that can be very conducive to our enhanced consciousness are just recently corroborated in John Major Jenkins new book, Galactic Alignment. So, Rosslyn is one of the very good books on this part of the grail; it's just that the Inquisitors don't want you to think that!!

Finally, someone manages to interpret Rosslyn - and to uncover and interpret a lot more than that. I can accept that a lot of critics will read this (the book, not my review!) and try to discount a lot of what is stated, but read it with an open mind and you might find something that has been missing - and I don't mean anything from the book. I would love to hear from anyone who reads this book and to discuss their interpretation. I'd love to discuss where it leads them and what their next book was after reading this one.

If I were only allowed to recommend One book, Rosslyn would-have been the book I chose to review! I opened it, while contemplating which book I would sit down with, and suddenly realized I'd read twenty pages! This one will be a timeless treasure and a perfect gift for the Mason or Templar-buff...but, you will be pleasantly surprised when you find substantial, historical discussion of Religions, Culture and myth vs. history. Rosslyn will cause many debates and many individual shifts in consciousness. This book is not for the easily-distressed fundamentalist. Of course, if you have not studied about religion, culture, society, et al...you will not understand this masterpiece of truth-seeking research, yet it may inspire you to Delve-Deeper. This work contains a concise chronology of the development of the religion of Christianity, with many references at the back of the book to continue your research, if you are inclined to seek the light. I found the writing style of this book to be very captivating and flowing, unlike some of the less-researched/more-embellished works on the market, which are not so articulately and poetically drafted. This book should be compared with the other important works of the genre, and I suggest looking-into the works of Graham Hancock. "Astrological Lore of All Ages," by Elbert Benjamine will be handy to have around, while reading this one, as well. Don't pass Rosslyn up...you'll regret it, later.

This well researched and superbly written work traces the western esoteric tradition from Celtic times, through the flawed foundations of Christianity and on into the medieval era. It gives a highly plausible account of the mysterious order of the Knights Templar from the time of their foundation to their brutal suppression. A major theme within the work is the recreation by the authors of the pilgrimage of initiation with a strong spiritual message for today. founded by the Templars and still followed today.

Wallace-Murphy & Hopkins describe their own pilgrimage around the seven mystical sites situated on the European Earth Chakras, culminating in their visit to Rosslyn Chapel. A building which they believe embodies in its structure and carvings, profound spiritual truth handed down through the ages by the initiated, usually in the face of persucution and censure. Among the themes covered in depth are the rise of the Gothic Cathedrals, the activities of the Knights Templar, the origins of Freemasonry, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the intriguing possibility that many of Europe's aristocratic families may be descended from the high priesthood of the Temple in Jersusalem.Some of these subjects have been explored by other writers, but with extremely dubious results as wild speculation is often married to a comlete lack of historical method. This book avoids these pitfalls, being extremely well written while the integrity and scholarship of the authors cannot be doubted. Rosslyn, Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail, presents challenging ideas in a manner which deserves to be taken taken seriosly - above all it is a gripping read.
