Profound.......2007-06-30
I've read at least four books by Vernon Howard and this one was most helpful to me in learning what I had to do at that point in my life to begin making the necessary changes to become the person I always knew I could be. I recommend it to anyone who is nearing the point of saying, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
This book doesn't advocate anger or protest; rather, honest self-examination--which is all that the true seeker really needs to break through.
Better than many of the recent Self development/new age/spirituality book.......2006-07-01
This is quite a good book but sad that it seems to me a huge number of good ideas but jumbled up without any order or progressive route. Some ideas are unfortunately wrong but generally a big improvement on many books of today. The fact that some people have been attending his weekly classes for twenty five years and still are concerns me as he suggests the way out is instant. His idea of simply watching the thoughts instead of being lost in them is not simple or for me ever been possible. So I rate this three stars as I say because I think he has a better understanding in some areas than most of the recent teachers but his explanations are not very clear at all.
Great wisdom writings.......2006-06-27
The writing style for this book is very strange. With each paragraph being a different thought roughly put together in chapters. If it would have been written as a book of proverbs I would have given it 5 stars.*****
With that said these are the most straight forward and clear wisdom sayings I have ever read.
There is a simple test for determining whether or not we are thinking with self benefit. If either an enemy or a friend appears to be exterior to us,we must reverse our mind. The enemy or friend is always within, though the mind projects them outward,thus deceiving us.
Nothing disturbs the man that controls his own mind.
Where ever you go, you meet yourself.
Your internal state is your world.
A problem is solved by seeing there is no problem outside yourself.
The contented man is rich.
Intelligent inaction is the highest form of action.
Peace exists when you have nothing to prove.....when you have no self to prove.
When demanding something from another person,you lose command of yourself.
Our freedom can be determined by the number of things we can walk away from.
If you want 200 pages of these buy the book.
Owners manual for the mind, 100 stars.......2006-03-16
There are not enough stars to rate this book as high as it needs to be. This is the 2nd Vernon Howard book I've read and I can't wait to get into the next one. The Mystic Path To Cosmic Power is a good intro if you haven't read it yet. This one is not a rehashing of ideas from that book. Some of the same truths are presented, but definately in a new way that stretches the ideas further.
The titles of these books seem strange on the surface, but just get into the book and be open to what is being said and you'll gain a higher perspective. The titles might lead you to think this is "New Age" stuff, but it is really a genuine philosphy on how to live a purposeful life.
I've been searching for this insight for years, digging through other books on philosophy, religion, and self help. Many times having to wade through an entire chapter to get what is presented on just one paragraph of this book. I usually jot down ideas in the back of a book, but there are too many to note per page in this one.
I'm writting this review so others can find the answers I have been searching for most of my life. If one cannot accept the concepts in these books, the very reason one cannot accept them is actually in the books, and what these books are all about.
Stunning.......2003-12-24
Here we have a man who easily ranks with the wisest minds in the history of the human race. Socrates, Plato, Laotzu, Buddha, Emerson, etc. This, I assure you, is no exaggeration whatsoever. Although I do not agree with every single thing written in this book, the essential message makes up the bulk of the book which I do agree with: There are higher levels of conciousness within us waiting to be discovered.
Book Description
In 1926 the fabled alchemist Fulcanelli left his remarkable manuscript concerning the Hermetic Study of Gothic Cathedral Construction with a student. He than disappeared. The book decodes the symbology found upon and within the Gothic Cathedrals of Europe which have openly displayed the secrets of alchemy for 700 years.
Customer Reviews:
Le Mystere des Cathedrales is a Beautiful Treasure........2007-06-23
A classic in its own right. The occult philosophy that lies within the construction of the Great Cathedrals.
A wonderfully written book; however for one to fully comprehend its meaning one must be symbolically literate.
Esoteric, in its full meaning.......2007-02-20
I got this from Adventures Unlimited several years ago, and actually read it. The main problem I had with the book is that it is extremely cryptic, i. e. I had great difficulty understanding what Fulcanelli was talking about. This difficulty was in fact so great that I still don't understand most of it. I think that this book would be highly useful to someone who had spent a great deal of time studying alchemy, but for those (like me) with only a passing (or less) familiarity with the subject, it amounts to an exercise in mystification. If I knew more about alchemy, I might give this a higher rating; I give it the rating I did, because I have the feeling that Fulcanelli is giving an accurate account, but this rating is no higher because of the sheer incomprehensibility of the text. Also, the publication of this work may have had some purpose other than that of informing the reader; if so, I haven't divined this purpose, and thus cannot tell if the book was successful in it. My rating is therefore in the middle of the road.
For the happy few.......2007-01-12
The Fulcanelli book lifts a heavy lid covering the deep mysterious world of the builders of great gothic cathedrals in Europe to shed some light on what can be hidden from a profane eye, but is open book to the one who posesses a certain knowledge. Fulcanelli is very cautious not to lift the cover too high, he always stops himself at certain point, saying that he is not at liberty to say more. Fulcanelli, a full fledged alchemist, respected and admired by many, and no question feared by many more, had an access to the knowledge so serious that even one millionth of that whole could in the hands of a profane lead to the destruction of the world. Very few can even imagine what is hidden in that vault to which door Fulcanelly and his colleagues whose names we would never know. They keep their secrets well guarded. In comparison to their world, the fictional world of Brown's "Da Vinic Code" is as a speck of dust to the mount Everest.
Such people as Fulcanelli have been hunted throughout the ages, as late as during the last world war. They, however, managed to escape the sweeping search by the Nazis who spared no money and resources to find them. Lucky we, the Nazis weren't successful, otherwise we would be living today in a completely different world.
Now, when you know what kind of people Fulcanelli belonged to, and will appreciate a token of that great knowledge revealed to us by him when he leads us step by step to his humble but nevertheless powerful revelation.
In conclusion I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in obtaining at least some understanding how one should read a great books written in stone and become hungry for more knowledge without which no man can consider himself a complete person. Good luck, and enjoy the book.
Not necessry to find the truth.......2006-11-03
This book was built up to be something special, and not that the information was interesting. However the information is just a side to the truth. Though I'm glad I did come across this tidbit of truth.
A Most Fascinating Book..........2006-04-15
One of the most fascinating books ever written...
The book (whose full title was Le Myst?re des Cath?drales et l'interpr?tation ?sot?rique des symboles herm?tiques du Grand Oeuvre ), lavishly interspersed with thirty-six illustrations - two of which are in colour, and one that is the original title-page by the artist Jean-Julien Champagne - is curiously dedicated to the Fr?res d'H?liopolis.
Before scrupulously studying - as far as hermetic tradition is concerned - the truly alchemical symbolism emanating from the cathedrals of Notre-Dame de Paris and Notre-Dame d'Amiens, Jacques-Coeur's palace and the Lallemant town-house in Bourges, Fulcanelli offers the reader in his introduction some particularly original concepts that deserve to be emphasized in more than one respect. First, he puzzles over the definition and origins of Gothic Art. He expresses his emotion by reiterating something written by J. F. Colifs in his Filiation g?n?alogique de toutes les ?coles gothiques (Paris, ?ditions Baudry, 1884):
The Language of Stone spoken in this new art, as stated with much truth by J. F. Colifs, is at the same time clear and sublime. This is why it speaks equally to both the soul of the humblest and to that of the most scholarly. What an inspiring and stirring language, the gothic [language] of stones.
After reviewing a few hypotheses about the origins of gothic art, initially those in which the classical school had linked it - against all verisimilitude - to the Goths or Germans, Fulcanelli comes round to linking the word gothic to the word goetic, via the famous phonetic Cabala referred to previously, thus considering it a magical art. This hypothesis, however, does not satisfy him. He then decides to favour the perfect phonetic closeness to the word argotique , which relates to both slang/cant and to the green language due to its aliveness and vitality, and the Greek myth of the Argonauts who were on a quest for the famous Golden Fleece. The "Argotiers" could only be the symbolic descendants who expressed themselves in a vivid language not understood by the uninitiated.
According to Fulcanelli, the minority of individuals using this secret (and sacred) language constitute the Sons or Children of the Sun, the gothic art being indeed the "art got or cot (Xo), the art of Light or of the Spirit". And Fulcanelli elaborates on this universal language of the birds, the diplomatic language taught by the goddess Athena to the seer Tiresias.
Deploring what he called, "Soufflot's vandalism", Fulcanelli extends his gratitude to the renovation work in Notre-Dame undertaken by the distinguished architects Viollet-le-Duc, Lassus, and Geoffroy Dechaume. He then examines the ground plan of medieval religious buildings where he sees the image of the Egyptian ankh (crux ansata - that is, the ansated, or "handled" or "looped" cross) in the semi-circular apse joined to the choir. This is the symbolic evocation, not of death, but of universal Life upon which is built the Christian temple. In addition, he states - by way of the phonetic Cabala - that the cross (crux) designates the alchemist's crucible.
Following this, Fulcanelli discusses the enigmatic labyrinths that are found in some churches such as those in Sens, Reims, Auxerre, Saint-Quentin, Poitiers, Bayeux, Chartres, and, above all, Amiens, to which he devotes an entire chapter later on in the book. Reminding us of the labyrinth's presence in ancient times, mentioning, among others, the one in Cnossos, (Crete) . He calls the labyrinth of the cathedrals "Solomon's Labyrinth" and gives the definition of it expressed by his prominent friend Marcellin Berthelot:
[It is] a cabbalistic figure found at the beginning of certain alchemical manuscripts, and which is part of the magical tradition associated with the name of Solomon. It is a series of concentric circles, interrupted at certain points, so as to form a bizarre and inextricable path.
Fulcanelli then embarks on a philosophical digression (in the alchemical sense of the term) on the myth of Ariadne and her legendary thread.
Next, Fulcanelli brings our attention to the alchemical symbolism to be found in the rose-windows of the cathedrals. He compares their blazing colours to the ones developed in the Egg during the coction of the third Work under the impulse of the fire of the wheel, an expression meant to designate the action of the "secret fire" in the ultimate phase of the Great Work. He states that it is "this latter fire, sustained by ordinary heat, which makes the wheel turn and produces the various phenomena which the artist observes in his vessel".
After this, Fulcanelli deals with the question of the "black Virgins" (virgini pariturae - the virgin about to give birth) in Chartres, Rocamadour, Puy-en-Velay, Limoux, and the unusual green-candle ceremony at Saint Victor church in Marseilles. Comparing the black Virgin to the ancient mother goddesses, Ceres, Rhea, and Isis, he identifies her with the symbolism in which is clad the mysterious materia prima of the Great Work.
Fulcanelli then proceeds with a long critique of the Renaissance period, favouring the spirit that characterised the medieval mind.
Further on Fulcanelli studies certain medallions on the central porch of the western fa?ade of Notre-Dame de Paris and gives these a truly alchemical interpretation, far removed from the studies previously carried out by the hermeticists Cambriel and Gobineau de Montluisant. The portal on the right, where can be admired the image of Saint Marcellus defeating a dragon and freeing a child held in limbo, perfectly illustrates to Fulcanelli the major operations in the alchemical Great Work.
Fulcanelli then takes us to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Amiens and finds in its central porch - the Porch of the Saviour - the same symbols as in Notre-Dame de Paris, the only difference being that here the figures are holding shields rather than discs, and that the philosopher's mercury is represented as a woman, and not as a man as in Paris. He then discusses the fire of the wheel and the scale of temperatures in the Great Work.
Continuing, Fulcanelli takes his readers to Bourges where the Lallemant mansion and the great house of Jacques Coeur hold his attention. King Charles VII's great Minister of Finances was indeed an alchemist, and hermetic symbols are plentiful in his noble abode. However, such symbols can be seen in perhaps greater abundance in Jean Lallemant's residence, particularly on the enigmatic coffered ceiling, in the chapel, and its credence, which holds the secrets of the second and third Work.
Interestingly, the last chapter, which was dedicated to the cyclic cross of Hendaye, was not included in the first edition of The Mystery of the Cathedrals.
A careful and compelling companion book to Mystery of the Cathedrals would be "Fulcanelli," by Patrick Rivi?re, a student of Fulcanelli's amanuensis, Eug?ne Canseliet.
Rivi?re reveals with profuse documentary evidence the true identity of the enigmatic and prestigious author of The Mystery of the Cathedrals and The Dwellings of the Philosophers. Beginning with an overview of French alchemical life at the turn of the 20th century, Rivi?re carefully builds his case step-by-step with facts, documents, and photographs, introducing us to the well-known physicist who was known as Fulcanelli. Rivi?re also demolishes the scurrilous hypotheses that suggest Fulcanelli never existed. (ISBN 1-897244-21-5 Red Pill Press)
Book Description
Edgar Cayce, widely acclaimed clairvoyant and forerunner of the holistic health movement, is revealed here as a pivotal figure in the transition from the esoteric and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth century to the New Age movement.This book describes and evaluates his psychic "readings," more than 14,000 trance discourses that address medical, theological, historical, and psychological concerns raised by thousands of inquirers. The author evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability in the subject areas emphasized by the readings. Cayce's medical and psychological advice is shown to be well ahead of his time in many respects, and his spiritual teachings are appraised as a reconciliation of Protestant mysticism with New Thought and Theosophy.
Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective.

Unbiased Assessment Of The Cayce Readings.......2003-06-08
One of the goals of this book is to determine if the information provided in the Cayce psychic readings could have been obtained by Cayce from conventional sources such as books or contact with other people. Also the accuracy of the psychic info is examined.
The general conclusion as I understand it is that Cayce had little interest in reading about esoteric subjects in his normal (non trance) life. In any case he wasn't that much of an intellectual. So there is very little verifiable evidence that the psychic info was influenced by existing sources to any significant degree.
The psychic info about things like Atlantis and past or future events is presented as being less than completely accurate and reliable. However I disagree with this.
Problem: Cayce said earth changes and other historical events would occur in 1958 and 1998 such as New York City would sink under the ocean.
Answer: He didn't say '1958' and '1998'. He said '58 and '98. This could mean any years such as 2058, 3198, etc. (Other supporters of Cayce have said that he was correct but people changed so the future events didn't occur. However this is not an accurate description of a prophet. Prophets only say things that happen. Anyone can say something 'might' happen.)
Those 20 years cycles come up in relation to the time travel experiments that were performed by the navy during The Philadelphia Experiement which later became The Montauk Project.
The earth is on some type of 20 year cycle.
Problem: It is highly unlikely that such a high percentage of those who received psychic readings would have personally known Cayce and Jesus Christ in past lives.
Answer: It was Cayce's hope and prayer to help people understand themselves and their relationship to God in his own unique way. God answered his prayer and sent those people into his life to help him accomplish his goal. (Cayce said he wrote the gospel of Luke in a past life.)
Problem: If a highly advanced civilization such as Atlantis existed we would have some evidence of their advanced technology.
Answer: Such evidence does exist. It's called 'the great pyramid'. In his book The Giza Power Plant Christopher Dunn proves that the great pyramid was a machine like a form of nuclear reactor. The gigantic granite blocks inside the pyramid contain crystals which transformed energy to generate a cosmic energy beam. This is eerily similar to Cayce's description of the temple in Atlantis with its crystal technology and death ray.
Any other discrepancies found in the Cayce readings can be attributed to misunderstandings which occurred when the information was recorded or to misinterpretation.
I think I have demonstrated that everything Cayce said while he was in the trance state is true.

How to empower the reader in the art of visualization.......2005-08-25
Volume II in Connolly's new Esoteric Guidebook Series is titled Develop Your Psychic Powers and contains the information and exercises to empower the reader in the art of visualization, intuition, dreamwork, merging with the higher self, and other paranormal phenomena.
Here's the idea, you meditate on a Major like the Magician and tap into his power and thus become him becuase you need that tool. This is NOT far fetched but a lot of what the Golden Dawn itself, and Arthur Waite originally, wanted the tarot to be: a guide for psychometry or as Crowley called it, Magick. Dr Connolly has taken the magick out and put the psychology in.
If you like the book others like it are the Regardie series and many of Crowleys & Waites works.

Worthwhile reading.......2007-03-19
This publication is an extract from the book: TRUTH ABOUT EVOLUTION AND THE BIBLE by Harriet Agusta Curtiss. It is well written and is a teaching on a very high level of spirituality. I found the extract clear and precise. The gist of the work is this: The allegory of Adam, Eve, and the serpent in the Garden of Eden is not to be taken literally. The real meaning of the serpent power may be learned through the comparative study of other worldwide ancient myths and allegories regarding the beginning of time. One could also meditate over the subject matter and perhaps some new ideas might show themselves, or one could buy the extract or the book. Curtiss' message "rings true" and I am planning to order more of her books.
