For centuries man has feared the bat. Its seeming ability to traverse between the world has inspired tales of terrible horror but also stories of great hope. This is the tale of the age-old Bat Man from Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s creation in 1939 to Dracula and even further back into time than most realize. Re-live the rise of the Batman era, from the very beginnings to the modern age and in so doing understand how this creation has taken on a life of its own. In a brand new and exclusive audio book by international best selling author, Philip Gardiner, the dark nature of our very selves will be explored.
Ian Fleming was a true visionary, a dualistic individual who spent much time in his early life in a "special" school in Austria. It was here where he learned the sacred ways of the early Gnostics and Occultists and developed the very root of the enigmatic secret and eternal charisma of James Bond.
Fleming explicitly said that Bond was Manichean, a distinctly Gnostic concept. The Bond books and films are strategically seeded with alchemical and Gnostic references for those with "the eyes to see". Fleming associated with mystics and initiated individuals around the globe.
In the Bond Code, we shall see how deep this web of the occult truly went. Fleming lived in a fantasy world that led him into a land of sinister and esoteric thought. He created his own alter-ego as a great alchemical work to fulfill his own tumultuous and chaotic mind, and he left behind a set of clues and codes for us to decipher.
Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond, piece by piece, radically reappraising everything we thought we knew about this secret agent and his creator.
Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
Almost everybody is now aware of the infamous history of the Knights Templar. But not everybody realizes that there was another Order from the same time and with the same roots. This Order still exists today and has incredible power.
This title reveals the true history of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and in so doing, we discover occult and sinister forces at play. From the days of heroic battles against Ottoman forces, to the alchemical world of the Grand Master himself, this book explores some very difficult questions: Who are these Knights? What was their role? Who gave them authority?
The story of the Knights of Malta is filled with mystery, intrigue and excitement. Come with us on a journey into the heart of battle.
What is the meaning of existence? Is there a "Grand Architect"? Is there an ultimate truth searched for by countless generations and lost in the mists of time?
Today we have a new science, a new terminology to explain and expound upon the biggest beliefs and religious systems. It has become apparent that the truth and understanding of our inner selves is, in the end, our ultimate quest. The void between belief and reality is indicative of the troubled planet we live on. As we all approach a dynamic future, the answers will emerge, although they might not be what we're expecting.
Amazing discoveries in Quantum Physics are being made each day, many pointing to fantastic ideas of other worlds, other realms. Could one of these alternate universes be the afterlife most religions proclaim? That belief is widespread, with many similarities between people and religions, with no possible connection to each other--an amazing coincidence, or proof positive that life beyond the grave really exists? Will science supply that proof, within our lifetime, or must we die to find out for certain?
Power, money and influence is the aim of secret societies through the ages. Sacred knowledge, ancient mysteries, myths, legends--all tools in the hands of small, exclusive groups whose aim is domination. Terrifying and awesome, these societies prey on human ignorance and frailty. This program takes you on a frightening quest to peel away the false cover of purposely clouded minds, to a deeper truth.
For 200 years, the Knights Templar operated throughout Medieval Europe and the Middle East, controlling territory as well as economic and political power. The intrigues of this secret society are slowly being revealed, and beneath the surface, even more mysterious organizations like the Knights of Malta can be found. Seeking to control both the Europeans and the Ottomans, they also dove into the occult, searching for magic and alchemy to grasp control of both Earth and Heaven. This fascinating journey takes us through the grand castles and cathedrals of Europe where the Knights held court, both public and in secret.
Hard-hitting and controversial, this program shows Freemasons bent on imposing a Lucifer-worshipping, socialist New World Order on all mankind. Behind the scenes, is there a global conspiracy afoot, out to destroy current churches and governments world-wide? Who is behind this plot and what do we know about them? Do we really know who controls the world, or are we fooling ourselves?
Behind the page-turning prose of J.K. Rowling's tales is a long history of shamanism and occult magic. This is an academic analysis of the books, the symbols and meaning within them, but also a personal story of one woman's relationship with those stories and the underlying myths. Set in beautiful Edinburgh, our guide places the Harry Potter stories in the context of our shared history and literary tradition. The sheer success of the books and movies has to be seen as a testament to the enduring attraction of our common spirituality, character and guiding beliefs.
Surprisingly--and despite the number of movies, books and TV shows featuring him--the wildly popular Sherlock Holmes left many unsolved mysteries behind. His creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, couldn't help but leave some clues--like ticking time-bombs--in the works themselves and in his own bizarre life. Both a Spiritualist and medical doctor, Doyle's own mental state and double, secret life is clearly on display in the books, in the characters of Holmes, Doctor Watson and even the villains, including Moriarty. On the one hand is Holmes' rationalism, on the other is Doyle's believe in ghosts, séances, and other worlds. Mystery indeed...
It's well known that Ian Fleming was a complicated, often cynical man who created great books of intrigue, fun and wonder. What's less known is that he had a lifelong interest in the occult, perhaps stemming from his work to topple another well-known occultist, Adolf Hitler. Within his books, Fleming embedded his own spiritual legacy. From Casino Royale to The Living Daylights, Fleming infused his works with the secret knowledge and codes he learned as a real-life British spy, but he also used the esoteric intelligence of the Gnostics to deepen his tales with the linguistic and numerical codes revealed in this program.
With fifty-six short stories and four novels about Holmes and Watson, there's a great wealth of material to analyze on this crime-solving pair, not to mention the hundreds of movies, TV shows, radio plays and theatrical productions made from the originals. But just how closely are Watson and Conan Doyle alike? Both worked as physicians, and Watson narrates most of the tales. And like Watson, Doyle served around the world on behalf of the British Empire. But did Doyle use the same mind-altering drugs as Holmes? Or was his just an arms-length, hands-off fascination like Watson's? These and other questions about the relationship between fact and fiction prove fascinating.
