Shadow of Solomon: The Lost Secret of the Freemasons Revealed Paperback – March 31, 2007

Great Read, brings Together the Knowledge of Self and Other Selves as Being the One. One might even miss those subtle hints and suggestions, and even browse over the biggest Secret of All ... if one just read to find the Secret hidden within these pages. Basically ... you are god with a small G ( the G in Freemasonry - GEOMATRACIAN of the Universe is U ... thus U niverse) ... When the Ego dies and makes Space for Love ... we can see Truth - through the Eyes of the Heart ... there is no other way - to live in Peace (at least within this Sphere). Sir Laurence found a Great Secret with Ormus - proof of who You Art.Read ... as a start to your Studies ... see the Emerald Tablets of Thoth and Hermetics Wilt be your next Great Find ... Arcane Teachings and specifically Kabbalah and Alchemy will bring it all together ... no one is ... " out to get you ..." it's All You ... all negative ... all positive ... combine Your Fire (Right Brain), and Water ( Left Brain ) ... and It will create Air ... Horus ,(Christ consciousness) ... the middle path or NEUTRAL observer ... the place where one then create the Light body or MER-KA-BAH ...Bottom line ... Love yourself so much ( without Ego), that the Heart then overflows into the lives of other Selves ... Brotherly Love, Relief and TRUTH wilt have a New meaning for YOU ... you will be " in and out" of it ... meaning it will be difficult to stay on the straight and narrow of the Middle path of the Fleur-de-Lis ... but other teachers like Krishna and Buddha and Mithra etc ... showed us ... it can be done ... but ... FEW THERE IS THAT FIND IT. Thank you Sir Laurence ... another Gem.BroThoth Trismigistus

anything Laurence Gardner does is well written and well thought out. I am a nonactive Free Mason and a life long esotericist. Gardner's work is very informative to those who are interested n a more well thought out spiritual path. God is not a name but a title and defines little at best. There is an intelligent hand behind the scenes. Male or female or both there is a great architect of the universe.

If you have read any of my other reviews you'll know i've read quite a lot of Mr Gardner's work. This isnt one of his best. It is basically a history of freemasonary and how it came about.There's nothing mystical about it, lots of facts and figures.. but thats about it. These dont really give much of an insight either! I got the impression that the Masons were just being painted as no-one special save for their skills in practical stuff such as building.Having read other things about Masons, this is really not very interesting at all. It states there are only 3 degrees, which is the accepted answer rather than the actuality. (Allegedly!) In fact, rather than anything ground-breaking going on it has the feel that the exact opposite is being expressed with the aim to rid the world of any ideas of mysticism and hidden goings on!I suppose if you want to read about dates and similar, and be told that all the aura surrounding Free Masons is just that... an aura which is of no real substance... then you'll enjoy this. Loking for more... I'd say look elsewhere.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It offers a wealth of information and insights, not only into the history of the Knight Templars and Freemasons but (among other things) also the errors that have been committed with translations of the Bible. It's an absolute treasure. A must have for anyone interested in these issues.

it among other books. The history that goes back and back in time , the controversy, the so-called scientific issuesthat some people were seeking and the connections between that and religion are very important , and that is whyi decided to keep a copy at home.

My husband and I both are interested in reading things that may have been circumstances that we have not known before. Whether you believe the things discussed or you don't, it is an interesting read. I'm sure that the Freemasons were a group and did have 'secrets' we don't know about, so this was very illuminating to me.

I used it for research on dates and history, but all is to be taken with a grain of salt recognizing each individuals interpretation according to their own biases

Excellent insight
