Book Description
Since February 1972 when Henry Lincoln introduced Rennes-le-Chateau and its priest Berenger Sauniere to the world outside France, vast numbers of people have become intrigued... some even obsessed... by the mystery. But those who do not understand the French language could not read "The Prime Source." The first book to tell the strange story has never been properly translated. This book fills that gap. The Accursed Treasure was the first important sign-post along a trail of discovery - and it remains key to the mystery. There is much yet to be found... much work yet to be done... before we can begin to understand its true significance. In your hands, you hold a mysterious, a significant - and a very important - book."

Decoding Jung's Metaphysics
Author: Bernardo Kastrup
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1789045665
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
More than an insightful psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung was the twentieth century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature, a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. Underlying Jung's extraordinary body of work, and providing a foundation for it, there is a broad and sophisticated system of metaphysical thought. This system, however, is only implied in Jung's writings, so as to shield his scientific persona from accusations of philosophical speculation. The present book scrutinizes Jung’s work to distil and reveal that extraordinary, hidden metaphysical treasure: for Jung, mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential, not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body, not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to God’s own instinctive mentation. Embodied in this compact volume is a journey of discovery through Jungian thoughtscapes never before revealed with the depth, force and scholarly rigor you are about to encounter.

The Serpent and the Red Thread
Author: Diane Weber Bederman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781927618134
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
This is a book, a documentary, about the oldest, most irrational evil: Jew hatred; told through the voices of Biblical and historical figures. Ms. Weber Bederman takes you on a journey through time, sharing the presence of history and our collective memories, beginning where all time begins: The Garden of Eden, where we meet the serpent who has in his mouth the red thread which he takes with him as it connects evil through time. Ms Weber Bederman has chosen to incorporate the Chinese literary device, the red thread, to connect the most evil of humankind, the Amaleks of history. The ones who spread irrational hate. All of the events are historical, factual, and sometimes shared through the stories of the characters: Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jesus, Paul and hitler. One need not be a student of the bible or history to follow the travels of the red thread woven by the serpent from the Garden to the present. The Red Thread of Evil has found yet another home in the hands of another group, the followers of the religion of Allah, who are intent on accomplishing what no other regime or culture had been able to do: to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth. Alarmingly, they have found many in the West who make themselves willing accomplices in the campaign of lies and distortions against Israel and the Jewish people elsewhere. This latter-day incarnation of Evil frequently finds accomplices among young people, uneducated and uninformed and easily taken in by extremist diatribes. That is why it is so important that this small volume with its treasure of information presented in a readable, even gripping narrative is placed into the hands of a wider public, but most especially impressionable youths in universities and high schools. A timely document that will enlighten those who are receptive to thought and the truth.

Diego Rivera the Red
Author: Guadalupe Rivera MarÕn
Publisher: Arte Publico Press
ISBN: 9781611920406
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
In this colorful recreation of the childhood and early adulthood of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, his daughter Guadalupe Rivera Marín explores the ideological and artistic development of a revolutionary painter. Rivera Marín begins with a pivotal trip that Diego took with his father at the age of six and continues through his travels in Europe, prior to his return to Mexico, where he would later marry Frida Kahlo and found the muralist movement. With bold colors and decisive brush strokes, Diego Rivera's legacy to the international arts community is undeniable. His murals and paintings grace iconic buildings and cultural centers throughout Mexico, in accordance with Rivera's commitment to making his art available to the working-class people he often portrayed in his works. In these buildings and popular spaces, Rivera's art serves to educate succeeding generations about Mexican history, art, and society. As passionate about politics as he was about art, Rivera dared to fight for societal change with a brush and a bomb. Not content to watch from the comfort of his studio, Rivera became an active participant in world politics, fighting alongside the Zapatistas in the hills of southern Mexico and the socialist and anarchist revolutionaries on the streets of Barcelona and Paris. Charting his childhood before the Mexican Revolution through his years in a Europe immersed in the Bolshevik revolution, this vivid portrait offers a thorough examination of Rivera's creative and intellectual evolution. Rivera Marín captures an essential time for Rivera before he became recognized as one of the premier artists of Mexico. During his travels through France, England, Spain, Switzerland, and Italy, he embraced the Avant-Garde that he later rejected and replaced with the nationalist and revolutionary art that became the basis for the great Mexican muralist movement. Populated by significant figures such as Emiliano Zapata and Vladimir Lenin, Rivera Marin's book about her father's political coming of age is both the story of the man and the epic times in which he lived.
