The Keys To The Temple

The mysteries and myths of ancient sites such as the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Mayan temples of Central America, Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury hold a perennial fascination for us all. Who built them, how, and for what purpose, are endlessly debated. David Furlong's 25 years of research form an important breakthrough in our understanding, provide amazing new concepts and information, and reveal an astonishing picture of our past. The Keys to the Temple presents startling new evidence about the history of mankind. After years of research David Furlong has discovered extraordinary patterns of alignments in the British landscape which link ancient sites and -- incredibly -- give a blueprint of the same geometric patterning found in the Great Pyramid in Egypt. These detailed calculations prove beyond doubt that a society with highly sophisticated astronomical, mathematical, and surveying knowledge was living in Britain and Northern Europe, 3000 years before Christ and creating highly complex "temples in the landscape". These events correspond exactly with the start of dynastic Egypt, the building of the pyramids, and the beginning of the famed Mayan Calendar. Who were these masterbuilders? Where did they come from? What roots did they share with the masterbuilders of Egypt and South America. What message did they hope to conceal in the landscape? This book is not only a carefully researched detective story but also a book that has implications for our very future.

The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. II The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. II is a book of parables and figures of speech, similar to Vol. I. It is a book that explains the life of the saint, and the genesis of heaven. The world today makes gold miniatures of all its favorite things, yet the life from God is being separate. It gives them their proper value. These things will keep you from genesis –the beginning and end of all things. Jesus came from somewhere, otherwise why did he say his Father was greater? Heaven too, has to start someplace. God is brilliant, his stories have no end, but this is the beginning; and it only gets better. God offers redemption at any stage, best to start while the day is young. So take up the second key, passage requires your watch and cell phone. You have no need of knowing time. A cherub has returned to guard the entrance. He is hidden in the air, he wields the biggest flaming sword, and demons hate his cut because it will not heal; at least until they sear it by a sun. The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. III The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. III is a book of stories and figures of speech, similar to the Bible. They come in parable, and they come in strings, let them ease your soul. This is a book of grace, glory, and growth. God has been preparing these things since he was the only one like Him. The riddle can be solved by children, yet a man will have an educated guess. The deep things of God will take time to understand. The heavens are a mystery, yet the key will guide you. The heroes are here. They speak in the Spirit, God’s crew is full of life. I’ve had many crosses in my life, the temptation had to grow; and the end had to come.

Over thousands of years, the priests and sages of the ancient world discovered that the design and location of certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained life. A body of traditional lore evolved, using architecture and ceremonies that made use of these wholly natural but mysterious effects. In The Secret of the Temple, John Michael Greer painstakingly rebuilds a body of lost knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and can be used again today. The Temple of Solomon was only one of many ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition. The insights of this tradition have been passed down through those in society tasked with protecting ancient wisdom, secret societies like the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. But over time, as cultures and technologies changed, the meaning of these cryptic symbols and rituals became obscured...until now. This book explores the esoteric body of knowledge that shaped the world of our forebears, gave rise to the world's most awe-inspiring temples and cathedrals, and continues to fuel speculation about powerful forces at work in our world.

Contributions in this volume demonstrate how, across the ancient Mediterranean and over hundreds of years, women’s rituals intersected with the political, economic, cultural, or religious spheres of their communities in a way that has only recently started to gain sustained academic attention. The volume aims to tease out a number of different approaches and contexts, and to expand existing studies of women in the ancient world as well as scholarship on religious and social history. The contributors face a famously difficult task: ancient authors rarely recorded aspects of women’s lives, including their songs, prophecies, and prayers. Many of the objects women made and used in ritual were perishable and have not survived; certain kinds of ritual objects (lowly undecorated pots, for example) tend not even to be recorded in archaeological reports. However, the broad range of contributions in this volume demonstrates the multiplicity of materials that can be used as evidence – including inscriptions, textiles, ceramics, figurative art, and written sources – and the range of methodologies that can be used, from analysis of texts, images, and material evidence to cognitive and comparative approaches.
