We will move over millennia of mysteries to reason an ac- tual history based upon fact and evidence. We will see whether there actually is a worldwide conspiracy, and, if so, where it is leading us. We shall establish motives, seek out new data, view existing documents in a new light to gain an overview of vast peri- ods of time and civilizations, and finally come to grips with the mysteries of faith. Yet we must not lose sight of the fact that these professionals are responsible for piecing to- gether huge amounts of information and giving supposedly fac- tual accounts based on their own belief systems, which are influenced by the time and location in which they lived or are living.
Without the hard work of these historians, a book such as this would have been impossible to write, even though its con- clusions are in stark contrast to the accepted view.
We must re- member: many of the history books we read today were written, or at the very least researched, during a Victorian age of high Christianity—a time when every theory and fact was bent towards a Christian viewpoint. For instance, when it was discovered that there were ancient crucified gods that predated Christ, these were hushed, destroyed, or even purported to be the God-given knowl- edge of the future crucifixion of Christ.
This is, of course, utter rubbish, coming from a religion that itself was a creation of an- cient cults—as we shall see. We must also understand that many historians, artists, build- ers, politicians, religionists, and laypeople wanted to pass the truth on but could not. So they devised ciphers, codes, and sym- bolism for their own kind and future generations to decipher.
The beauty of many of these symbols was that most were already known and already held orthodox significances and, therefore, the hid- den meaning could easily be cloaked in mainstream religiosity. Symbols are hidden all around us like a trail of clues leading toward treasure.
We come into contact with them everywhere we go—from the symbolic architecture and stained-glass windows of medieval churches, to, for example, the logo on a company van.
My own company logo was symbolic of Phase Transition, the changing of one substance into another. For a marketing com- pany, this was ideal. Only people who knew about such things would be able to see this, however.
Others would just see an arrow with a wavy line. I had hidden a symbolic device within an other- wise ordinary-looking company logo. Mankind has used this subtle language for thousands of years. The only way to discover the secrets of sym- bolism is to break down each and every painting, building, or text into every possible meaning, and consider both the people who created these artifacts and the time in which they lived.
These finds must then be weighed against known historical data, such as archaeological information. One of the greatest works of symbolism on every level is the Bible. To the scholar who knows the alternative meanings of some of the apocalyptic texts it has been obvious, for a long time, that there is truth hidden away. To many more the underlying prin- ciple of the whole book is astrotheological—Jesus as the sun, Mary the moon, and all 12 apostles are therefore members of the Zodiac.
But there are so many hidden layers that show that any number of meanings are possible, and we must remember that lies are also hidden in code. Of course, to add to this, there are hundreds of texts and so-called Gospels, written at the same time as the Bible, that simply never passed the test of the early Christian propagandists and were discarded from liturgy.
These are equally valid now to the history of man, or we shall again be susceptible to the manipulation of those who chose the contents of the Bible in the first place. We must also be careful not to read too much into texts, as we could be in danger of perceiving them in the light of our own mod- ern society.
They point to hidden meanings regarding nuclear war and Middle Eastern dictators as if they have had some kind of divine revelation themselves. The truth is, as any historian will tell you, that every generation since the writing of Revelation has claimed the end was very close. That is partly the point of the solar cycli- cal Gospel, misinterpreted completely, as usual. All of these false interpretations make it more difficult to break the code down into facts.
The origin of life has always been a fundamental part of religion. The age of en- lightenment, of Darwin and his contemporaries, drastically altered the religious outlook of the world. We will see how ancient man and his religious beliefs were perfectly parallel to our current scientific beliefs—the dif- ference being only in the terms used. Only the God exists. He is supreme and is alone.
The heavens and earth are formless. Then there is light. Heaven and earth are split apart. The land is separated from the waters. Day and night are created with the new sun.
The land brings forth vegetation and eventually creatures. Birds and animals are created. Man appears. It is completely in line with the so-called big bang theory and yet seems to have emerged thousands of years ago. Previously, religion was responsible for informing us of our origins. Now scientists tell us to look for facts about our origins rather than philosophize about them, while at the same time they create new theories, which are sometimes prejudiced and do not take into account all of our knowledge.
New facts come to light with every passing day. We need to understand these facts and theories and must not be afraid to alter our own personal view- point once these new facts emerge. Our own personal truths must change or we risk becoming stale, inert religious fanatics. It is unfortunate that religious fervor in all disciplines including sci- ence can stop us from seeing these marvelous breakthroughs, and prevents us from moving on and even evolving. So many facts are hidden from us because of generations of prejudice and intolerance that some of them will be startling.
No one will remain unaffected by the evidence presented here. Every- one who reads this book will have his or her own belief system or personal prejudice challenged and will not want to accept every- thing as fact. Much of the evidence here can be taken in a number of ways, and, where this is known, each alternative viewpoint has been given. Where other views are required, these have been sought from original sources. I include in this all religious fac- tions, whether classed as cult, occult, or mainstream.
In our search for the truth, we will examine everything that could possibly fit into one book. We will start from Adam and Eve and move through to modern science. We will then go on to see how our belief systems began and where some of the more paran- ormal explanations originated. They had a name, they had a power base, and they had a secret, locked away within their initiated few, which had major implications for the future of mankind.
We will discover the secret and reveal it. There are thousands of best-selling books out there, which support mysteries that simply do not exist. This book will dispel those mysteries and put us back on the straight path. Why, in this supposedly enlightened age, do we still believe and feed off the controlling lies of those in positions of authority? The answer is simple. Knowledge is power—therefore if you keep the knowl- edge for yourself, you keep the power.
When we come to leave old religions behind we are simply given a new one, more relevant to our age and to the political aims of the power brokers.
Do we need the opium of religion or can we survive without it? The Shining Ones, under different names, have manipulated us over the centuries by many means, including psychology. Uti- lizing the story of our origins, they played on our desire to know who we are and where we came from, and controlled our belief systems from the start.
They also understood some of the very basic and fundamental ways in which our brains work and are influenced. They discovered that we were influenced not only by people, but also by the world around us in more ways than we today can even comprehend.
If you are ready for the truth, if you can honestly say you have an open mind and are prepared to let go of misconceptions, then read on. Forget the false interpretations of myth and religion you have heard so many times, and know them for what they really are: the secret language of the Shining Ones. To stand and stare on a crystal clear night at the twinkling stars and to be in awe at the incredible number of lights that reach our eyes is an experience everybody should have. Today we understand what these stars are—they are distant and sometimes long-dead suns.
Our ancestors, with- out the orange glare of a suburban street, were unaware of the science behind the wonder. For them these were the myriad eyes of the gods in heaven—the great Shining Ones in the sky.
The father sun and the mother moon were dominant due to their size and the seeming relationship they held to the very hormonal na- ture of man and woman—they literally controlled our lives. There is little wonder that the tales of these heavenly twinkling gods should remain with us in our religious fables, myths, and folklore.
One thing is sure, this understanding has been held like a baby in arms by the secret societies we shall soon discuss. If we look at a few of the cycles that have become important to man, we can see how they affect us. Some have longer nights and shorter days, for example, and their na- ture has adapted accordingly. On the equator, where the sun is stronger and is out for longer periods, SAD does not exist and is indeed refuted.
Elsewhere, the seasons are different. Tropical regions have two seasons: wet and dry. Monsoon areas have three: cold, hot, and rainy. In polar regions, the temperature change from summer to winter is abrupt. Man, animal, and plant life have adapted remarkably well to the different seasons they experience, and so too has their mythology. The pineal gland actually measures the seasons and length of day. This is how we adapt to the various seasons around the globe.
Many species, including some types of bird, can accurately predict the weather to help them plan migratory patterns. The Orange Ladybird insect in the United Kingdom has never been wrong in its long-term winter predictions. The Moon The moon plays an important part in all the religions of the world and is hidden deeply in the secret societies.
Lunar cycles and human experience are intrinsically linked. Menstruation moon-struation occurs only during the fertile years and had symbolic meaning amongst early cultures. The men- strual blood of women is considered with awe and fear and may have much to do with the use of Red Ochre by ancient man. This blood is also derided and called unclean even today, the women of Judaism go through a purification bath seven days after the end of the menstruation , a poisoning of woman for her sins by the great gods, although this appeared to be a much later addition as a result of the subtle battle of the religious sexes, as the earlier cults seem to have revered the blood, even to the point of drink- ing it.
Menstruating women were often kept away from the other members of their tribe or village. The onset of menstruation marks the move from child to woman and was cel- ebrated with Earth Goddess or Mother Goddess rituals and, much later, within the taking of blood in the Eucharist.
Both have different paths and different mean- ings dependent upon your culture. In the sidereal lunar year there are 13 months per year.
This is a matriarchal structure and is more than 3, years old. The instillation of a month period seems to have been an attempt by the solar patriarchal cultures to gain dominance, and thus we now have 12 months per year.
The months are, in effect, symbols of the Zodiac houses. All of this was what is known as astrotheology— the theology of the stars—and all of this crept slowly into the hid- den chambers of the secret orders. Indeed the very concept of Christianity is built around a celestial and solar worship: Christ is the sun, which dies for three days in midwinter and is resurrected three days later; Mary being linked both in myth and etymology to the moon; and the 12 disciples rep- resenting the 12 star-signs.
The moon is tied up in many of our early cultures. Some of these designations have been carried on, kept alive behind the scenes by the secret cults while they were subtly battling or even creating the front lines of the new or growing solar and male-oriented popular gods such as Mithras and Yahweh. They are all literal elements of a very real internal symbolism—the balance of the male and female sides of our own mind.
The idea was put forward that the electri- cal energy of the body became drained at this time of the month, and caused the person to lose his or her faculties. Just years ago, Lunacy was even covered by English law. Kleptomania, ar- son, and dangerous driving have been shown scientifically to in- crease at times of the full moon, so there may be some scientific reason for this matriarchal lost battle.
The Jewish Passover is celebrated on the lunar calendar; the Christian Easter Eoster was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring is calculated from the full moon after the vernal equinox. The full moon at the autumnal equinox is celebrated as the harvest moon. The eclipse of the moon is considered by many cultures to be the union of the Sun God and Moon Goddess. The results revealed that more births occurred during a waning moon and the maximum after a full moon. In the North Sea coast of Germany, most births occurred at high tides as the moon passed overhead.
Size of offspring has also been mapped and shows a noticeable pattern dependent upon time of year. When he was presented with the birth charts of newborn children he successfully identified the sex of 87 percent of the babies from planetary information alone. Brown also proved that potatoes, rats, and fiddler crabs are all gov- erned by lunar periods. Within laboratories, the metabolisms of various creatures fluctuated in response to lunar patterns and geomagnetic factors.
Now, years later, research is proving that all known sea creatures, when taken from their natural homes, still obey the same lunar cycles. At the time, many scientists thought Brown to be dealing with the paranormal sciences and ignored his research. What it does show and scientifically is the effect of cycles and electromagnetic energy on the natural inhabitants of this planet—including humans. It is no wonder the ancients saw in these planetary bodies the gods who con- trolled their lives.
Our ancestors knew that it meant life or death. It was essential for the sun to return every day, for its strength to be renewed again each Easter. We say the sun is wise, and therefore in mystery plays around the world, light equates to wisdom. The strength of the sun gave rise to its being considered the most powerful of the deities. In the early devel- oped civilizations the sun is always there. In the Memphis cult, the sun was known as Amun, or Amun-Re.
The scarab beetle is often used to portray the sun in some aspects, a symbol of self-regeneration and the early ideas of reincarnation. The sun is generally male and outwits the lunar female goddess as well as mates with her. We humanize it and give it names such as Apollo, and include him in dramas.
This, of course, hides a deeper and more symbolic under- standing that the initiated, the ancient Shining Priesthood of the sun knew how to decipher. The cyclic pattern and life-giving na- ture of the sun is key to the secrets of the ancient Shining Ones. The movements of the sun have inspired tales of where the sun god goes and why he comes back, of battles fought and death overcome.
This last idea of overcoming death gives us the first hint at how man has used the sun god fables and mysteries to hide the secret ideas of how we could be reincarnated.
Thousands of years of begging the sun to return each day and be reborn each spring led ancient man to develop his own rebirth rituals and ideas of how to accomplish it. Now, with thousands of years of addi- tional mystery and symbolism, we find it almost impossible to decipher the magic secret. Everyday we rise with the sun. Our bodies release hormones, which waken, revive, and regenerate us. In summer, our endocrine glands release more hormones that bring a sense of well-being.
The secret police of many countries often choose this time of day to arrest people, as they are more easily subdued. If today we understand how to utilize the power of the sun with the regenera- tive effects of holidays and by the dealings of the secret police, what did our ancient and supposedly less complicated ancestors do?
Sunspot activity affects our biorhythms directly in ways we do not understand. Evidence shows that it can be an irritant to our bodily functions and mental attitude. The Foundation for the Study of Cycles has produced some interesting results with their long- term research, including some of the following: There is a 3. The Black Death and the Great Plague coincided with this solar turbulence.
There is also an increase in traffic accidents every This last point will not be lost on those who already know that Yahweh was in fact a volcanic and solar god—an ancient linking of the two cyclic phenomena. Michel Gauquelin, a French psychologist, placed the hypothesis that we are affected by the position of the planets at our time of birth firmly on the doorstep of science.
He showed that the position of the stars had some indication as to what line of work one may enter later in life. This was not related to the practice of astrology or the horoscopes in the daily newspapers, but a serious, scien- tific data analysis. The study of the stars goes back thousands of years.
Some say 4, B. Sumeria was the first to do so. Others put this even ear- lier and say that ancient man was studying the stars 32, years ago. With all the evidence on patterns, rhythms, and electromag- netism that affect our bodies, it is no wonder that modern sci- ence has taken another look at the ancient art of astrology, which has been neglected because of the widespread misuse of generic horoscopes.
Natal astrology deals with planetary positions at the time of our birth. Astrometeorology concerns the prediction of major earthquakes, climatic changes, and volcanic eruptions. There is much evidence to suggest that certain animals, which can predict such occurrences, are born at a specific time of year that corre- sponds to certain astrological predictions, and the reason is simple. In my other work The Serpent Grail , I have shown how this energy is indeed real and can, in fact, even be picked up by humans, when they revert back to their own superconscious.
Ancient peoples must have understood the precise mappings of these newly named sciences when they too predicted such things by the stars. It may also be that the ideas and symbolism of alchemy were just a few more steps along this path.
The Indian sage, Parasar circa. Megalithic structures have many astrological and Earth alignments. The very earliest almanacs contained weather forecasts based upon astrological predictions. In the countries of Arabia, the posi- tion of the stars was consistent with the weather. The ancient priesthood would have appeared to be in the know all the time, and, therefore, would appear holy and godlike; it was little won- der that they became incorporated into the symbolic format and titles of the stars.
The Zodiac is the belt of the gods, which lies nine degrees to either side of the ecliptic plane, and contains the orbits of the moon and the major planets. Each Zodiac is 30 degrees apart. The sun originally traversed these minor gods on a regular path and the various signs of the zodiac were blessed with his arrival.
All the god-man stories, from Jesus to Horus, can be shown quite eas- ily to be this very progression of the sun through the heavens. That the word zodiac pertains to animals explains why it con- tains animal symbols, such as the ram and fish. These ancient an- thropomorphic beliefs were included into the sky, in the same way that Pagan gods were taken on as saints by the Christian Church. This concept has been concealed from the general population, as Acharya S tells us in The Christ Conspiracy: The cosmology or celestial mythos has in reality been hidden from the masses for many centuries for the purpose of enriching and empowering the ruling elite.
The Babylonians, and especially people in the Middle East, studied the stars mathematically and attempted, even as long as 5, years ago, to scientifically log the reactions and effects of the stars. They produced a calendar and perfect measures of time, essential for a people without clocks. The cosmic radiation hitting and passing through our planet is millions of years old.
It comes in cycles, as does the solar wind. The cycles increase and decrease, but nevertheless there is a pat- tern. Our species has been on this planet, and life has been part of the vast universe, long enough for there to be some marked and observable effect.
There are a vast number of other cycles in which we are in- volved, such as urinary cycles, sexual cycles, stock market crashes, epidemics, and a host of other minor cycles. Stock market crashes themselves make a profound analogy. Those in the know and with the power or money can predict these things, so they can also increase their power and money exponentially.
Those with the knowledge main- tain the power—the knowledge of cycles. The Buddhist Wheel of Life reflects the understanding the ancients had of this cyclic life of ours.
The Wheel culminates in the 12 links in the chain of causation on the search for truth, and it depicts, amongst others, creatures of passion, stupidity, and hatred, and shows how we endlessly repeat the same things. These repeating patterns of life events, circumstances, and our thoughts and emotions that come round again and again, are just like the planets that orbit the sun at different rates of orbital frequency.
The Hindus also make a connection with reincarnation, as the life-death cycle is just another cycle of repeating patterns they believe are due to karma not yet worked out, and broken.
It is said that the ultimate goal is to stop or break the Wheel of Karma. It will also show the stumbling blocks that we each have to overcome in order to move on. It may even be possible to break the program or pattern entirely! Lack of knowledge about astrology is really due to certain preju- dices people have in regard to the superficial and over-generalized version of astrology that is deemed acceptable both for and by society.
The astrology that we read in the newspapers and magazines and can learn from the books on the shelves in the Mind, Body, and Spirit section is the astrology familiar to society, and which has become too generalized and commercialized to be of any real use.
The planets themselves—and more importantly the position of the planets in the solar system at any one time—will give a different meaning for each individual. The different vibrational influences that radiate from each planet, and especially the chang- ing vibrations that result from the changing positions of each planet in relation to the others in the solar system, are very subtle as to be hardly noticeable or measurable.
Seeing that most of us are conceived and born at different times this cre- ates a wide variety of different beliefs, experiences, and outlooks. I am certain the ancients understood this, and this may have been one of the reasons why great emphasis was placed on the positions of the stars and the movements of the sun, moon, and planets. The web that man has spread across the many thousands of years is complex and cluttered.
Historians would have us believe that various human achievements sprang up spontaneously and simultaneously across the continents. Mathematically, this is in error. There are too many coincidences, too many simultaneous eruptions of human culture and achievement, from the buildings that share a common purpose as solar and astral temples to the emergence of the ancient cross as a symbol—all of this is related to the resonant energy of the universe and is deeply entrenched in the emerging scientific idea of quantum entanglement.
Through meditation the individual comes closer and closer to consciously understanding this energy—an amazing thought, and an amazing deception that this information has been kept from us.
Remember that there is no easy way to show everything that is linked, there is simply too much information and much is hid- den in secret societies. In , Tom Lethbridge wrote a book called Gogmagog. He claimed that Druidism and Brahmanism were linked and shared a common origin.
Lethbridge believed that their ancient religion was somehow related to and existed for the Earth Goddess, also associated with the Moon Goddess and often cross-linked. This is true in that She was one of the deities worshipped by the ancient priesthood, to whom the Brahmins and Druids were related.
In essence they are all built around the same energy, the same very human and even univer- sal pattern that is built into each and every one of us.
Lethbridge showed that different substances or items produce different swing rates of the pendulum. He found that the age of items gave a different rate, as did the surrounding emotions. A pebble thrown violently reacted differently from one thrown in a less aggressive manner. Work carried out by other dowsers has shown that while the rates differ between dowsers, the principle remains the same.
This difference may be due to the rate at which the dowser ab- sorbs the emitted energy, but it is hard to understand why the rates are uniformly different. If there had been a pattern of irregular rates this would be sufficient evidence to ignore the practice; as it is, we have evidence enough to require further investigation. Although some of the conclusions drawn by Lethbridge are open to debate, we are left wondering whether there is any evidence for humans being able to pick up energy.
And I was to find there was. As we have seen, electromagnetism is in all things and we are open to its power, as are animals.
The theory is that we transfer this energy to the implements used in dowsing. Modern oil companies use the skills of the dows- ers to locate oil.
There is much evidence to show that ancient man practiced dowsing, or radiesthesia, in one form or another. Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom and writing, and the Greek Daedalus, both closely associated, are credited with its invention. The Chinese, the masters of Feng Shui, have also been cred- ited with the invention of dowsing from the 3rd millennium B. In the Bible we find that Moses the patriarch who, according to Acts, had all the knowledge of Egypt and whose name is linked to the sun and the snake was adept at finding water with his rod.
The writers of the Bible vehemently opposed the tradition of dowsing. This was because just about any layperson could dowse and there- fore could take the secret knowledge away from the priesthood and reduce their power. Later, the Inquisition of the Catholic Church found it neces- sary to stamp out dowsing once again, while many abbots contin- ued the practice in secret and even wrote extensively on the subject, albeit symbolically.
What would be the reaction of the Church if its people were to find out that their own prophets, including the supposed Savior, practiced divination? Among the other forms of divination to look out for is Bath- Kol: divination by means of the heavenly, divine voice.
By inter- preting this sound, the ancient Jewish prophets could announce the Will of God to the people. If ever there was a tool to keep the sacredness of God within the elite, then this is it.
This practice appears to be worldwide in all cultures but is carried out only by the initiated few. That is not to say that those individuals were not in some way and through some form of formulated ritual actu- ally getting involved in the quantum entanglement of the univer- sal collective.
Necromancy, the art of raising spirits from the dead to dis- cover answers, is another form of divination that has strong links with the Bible. Saul paid the price for this sin, but this demonstrates the existence of this ancient prac- tice, which stretches back to beliefs in the Underworld or place of the ancestors; a belief and a divination accomplished all over the globe. Was this a practice common to the ancient priesthood who may have traveled the world?
The period fits well. The ancient priests actually believed that they could contact the spirits of the dead through meditation, drug-induced states, or even physical actions such as Dervish. Astrology is a form of divination relating to the stars. This too was practiced globally at the same time as necromancy. Sometimes the dreamer would choose a specific location and take a hallucinogenic sub- stance to bring on a dream, which only the priest could interpret.
In the Bible, the one with the ability to interpret the dream was the chosen one of God—the Shining One, a special person or priest. Scrying is the method of using a crystal or shining ball, mirror, or, more correctly and more ancient, a shining stone. Only a priest, or latterly clairvoyant, could read the message received. This art goes back to and even further than the Egyptians. Hebrew tradition has it that Adam received wisdom from a shin- ing stone, and Nostradamus used a bowl of water, as did Zeus.
Geomancy is the ancient from of reading messages from the earth. The word comes from the Greek word for Mother Earth, Ge or Gaia, and mancy or magos, meaning knowledge. Ancient Greek, Latin, and Arab writers tell us about geomancy.
This divi- nation technique is also global and is referred to in the Bible, in some remarkable places, as we will see in later chapters.
The timescale of the spread of geomancy across the globe is much de- bated. There is, however, no doubt that it was universally used and shows the link of mankind to beliefs within the Mother Goddess, right through into Christianity—a survival of ancient traditions. In geomancy, the earth is drawn upon by hand or with sticks and a response read. Special codes or symbols are used, which are known only by the initiated.
The symbols are usually lines, dots, or stars. The final symbol is probably the one we should remem- ber, as this includes the symbol of the fish, although not in mod- ern geomancy techniques. In other parts of the world, earth was thrown into the air and the shapes it formed as it fell on the ground it were interpreted.
The Chinese use a similar technique on humans in acupuncture, a very popular and reportedly effective alternative medicine. As we know, everything, includ- ing energy, matter, and magnetism, has a positive and a negative, so once again, our ancestors were there before us. Modern-day dowsing has shown that sites such as Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Newgrange, the pyramids of Egypt, and the ziggurats of South America are all situated on these so-called ancient energy lines.
This is yet another example of the global aspect of these ancient beliefs, which spread through cultures without altering the ethnicity of the population, but fitting in with it. This ancient priesthood did not change or improve the lifestyles of the general population, which is why it has been so difficult for archaeologists to discover their existence; instead, they simply passed on knowl- edge, sharing the power amongst themselves and the few who were chosen to become Shining Ones.
There are subtle hints, missed by orthodox history, which are beginning to reveal the patterns of an antiquated hierarchy of spe- cial priests. Once we are alerted to their existence, it becomes ob- vious that they were there all along.
There are many belief systems in the world, but they all come from one basic and undeniable core, invented and evolved sepa- rately by the Shining Ones. The same term is used across the globe due to the same enlightened aspect or illumination achieved and sustained by them, and a worship of the same solar globe seen everywhere. These priests were the experts of self-mind-control— manipulating their own minds into the Shining world of the uni- verse through energy cycles and magnetism.
With the benefits to themselves being good health and knowledge of the world around them, they found the Elixir. Instead of looking for great migrations of civilizations such as Atlantis, we should be looking toward the faith makers, the illu- minated ones who spread throughout the peoples of the world and became gods among men.
Man searched within himself for the answers and I be- lieve man found them. Here, in this short piece, I hope to relay some of the amazing symbols of that searching and reveal the hid- den meanings behind some of the most enigmatic objects and im- ages of history. This chapter will concentrate on one of the most profound of symbols utilized by secret societies—the skull. But before I move forward into the skull I must concentrate on the energy that is supposedly raised towards it and which was and is believed to infuse it with power—the kundalini.
The kundalini, in one form or another, is found in almost all secret societies—whether they know it or not. It is the core basis of the energy and centered self that they speak of. This kundalini is the serpent energy within, the hidden power inside each of us—or so we are told. She maintains all beings of the world by means of inspiration and expiration.

And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old. Though the film opened to poor reviews, it has since become one of the most admired horror films in cinema history.
Exerting an enormous influence on popular culture, The Shining has spawned a vast array of interpretations and conspiracy theories. Roger Luckhurst's illuminating study of this seminal film explores its themes, tropes and resonances through a detailed analysis of sequences and performances.
Situating The Shining in a series of fresh contexts, this book looks at the complex nature of horror cinema at the end of the s and early 80s. Taking the maze of the haunted hotel as a key motif, Luckhurst offers numerous threads with which to navigate the strange twists and turns of this enigmatic film. In The Shining Inheritance: Italian Painters at the Qing Court, —, Marco Musillo considers the professional adaptations and pictorial modifications to Chinese traditions that allowed three of these Italian painters — Giovanni Gherardini — ca.
Musillo focuses especially on the long career and influence of Castiglione whose Chinese name was Lang Shining , who worked in Beijing for more than fifty years.
Serving three Qing emperors, he was actively engaged in the pictorial discussions at court. Musillo further demonstrates how this East-West artistic exchange challenged the dogma of European universality through a professional dialogue that became part of established workshop routines.
The cultural elements, procedures, and artistic languages of both China and Italy were strategically played against each other in negotiating the successes and failures of the Italian painters in Beijing. The Shining Serpent Author : M. But everything changes drastically when her son disappears.
