Forbidden Religion: Suppressed Heresies of the West

Open up your mind, and go for a wild ride into humanities history. This book, and Forbidden History, are the most interesting books I have ever read. You will not be disappointed reading either one, though I strongly encourage you to read them both.Great minds ponder the past, and seek out knowledge.

This book seemed full of information that could be further researched by myself. For that reason and more, it is a great read. It has stimulated my thought process and it created a desire to want to delve deeper into some of the topics. I am glad I read the book so I recommend it.

Really liked the book. This book needs to be re-read over time. At least by me.If you are as anti-orthodox as me give it a try.

Great read. Lots of good info.

Very good book to read

The author of this book has many of the same ideas that I have. It is a great book and I highly recommend it.

I have not yet read this book, but I like this subject. So I'm sure I will like it.

I happened to like Forbidden Religion as far as the information they were attempting to get across. I was a little dissappointed that more information was not written about some of the pre-Templar groups that inhabited Europe during the dark ages.The book is more of a compilation of pieces from a website and with that and little editing there can be a mass of repitition and a lack of continuity of thought. The haphazard way the book is written make a little lost in where you are thinking you are headed and the title, although very strong, is not answered as strongly in the overall message.As far as research, without giving anything away, one of the writers hints that Bacon may have been involved in compiling the King James 1611 and that the hint is where the words Shake and Spear appear in Psalm 46 where shake is exactly the 46th word into the Psalm, and Spear is the 46th word from the end. I did a little research, yet these exact words, with different spelling for Olde English, appear as early as 1560, one year before Bacon was born. The appear at different numbering from the top and bottom. So, maybe something was being hinted here. But who knows.Much is made of the Davinci Code type of focus, and we are updated on who the authors think the priori of sion are. What I like is that it reads like a novel and with some historical suspense. Some of the thoughts need more developing and maps and more illustrations when they speak of very specific things would be a help.Maybe a second volume updated and edited would really make Forbidden Religion a hot item.

Arrived promptly and in perfect condition for a paperback. Imaginative and plausible conjecturing about many spiritual/philosophical/religious conundrums.At first glance it might look like psychobabble balloney but actually makes more sense to me than the more established paradigms - eg. no way do I believe in fundamentalist tenets such as a human being becoming a 'god', whatever that means, or that birth can occur without 2 sex gametes conjoining!

Das Buch gibt es leider nicht in einer Übersetzung auf dem deutschen Markt. Ich fand es schon recht lesenswert, da das Buch sich mit verschiedenen Autoren und mit verschiedenen alten Religionsrichtungen aus unserer westlichen Welt beschäftigt und mit kurzen Beiträgen darauf eingeht, was z.B. damals mit den Tempern, den Katharer und anderen Richtungen geschehen ist. Über den Verbleib z.B. der Templerflotte wir spekuliert und einer der vielen Autoren in dem Buch kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass diese Richtung England / Schottland geflüchtet ist, es aber auch Spuren und Hinweise in Richtung Amerika und Portugal (der "Hafen des Gral") gibt. Gut geschrieben und informativ.

Once again Douglas Kenyon brings us a collection of writings from his Atlantis Rising magazine, and once again he has delivered the goods. How many of you out there know why Sir Issac Newton is one one of the English banknotes, or how we came to have a Bank of England ? Well when William of Orange took over the crown of England it was in dire financial straits. Not in a position to extract anymore funds from the English via taxes, William set about the biggest con in history, The challenge was to raise funds to go to war, so with Newton they went to the country and exclaimed that Newton had obtained the essential elements to making gold. Having conned the masses into believing this, people were asked to hand over their silver and gold in exchange for a paper note with a promise to pay the bearer the sum on the banknote. As long as people believed this was the case[whether it was true or not] and their money was safe the birth of the Bank of England came about, it must have worked a treat because its still in force today and was instrumental in world money markets.All the worlds religions were forged by man for the control of man, Catholicsm is one of the greatest perpetrators of violence and inhumane practices towards man and have an enormous cheek to call themselves holy[i am talking about the church here not individuals]. The Vatican came about when the Roman empire fell, when they could no longer rule by fear of the rod or imprisonment, they turned their attention to ruling by control using another fear, hellfire and brimstone, or damnation for eternity if the people weren't seen to conform to the churches rigid stance.How many of you noticed that once you see someone setting up as a religion, then financial wealth soon follows, all churches of this world are corrupt and full of egocentric self serving meglomaniacs, who are only after your money. How many realise that religions were the first of gang culture and the cause of all the wars on the planet, [in the name of god ?]how many of you know that all religions are based on ancient Egyptian writings, and the religion of ancient Egypt contained more truth than any distortions made by Judaism or Islam or any other so-called church-gangs.This book has contributions from some of the best researchers into Earth affairs, politically and religiously than most other books and it covers so much material that it can only encourage further investigations....enjoy

Excellent read, especially if you question religion in general and how and why certain events came into being.
