Newport Tower Museum Tour with Jim Egan. Newport, Rhode Island

Newport Tower Museum Tour with Jim Egan. Newport, RI

     I spent part of yesterday afternoon with Jim Egan at the Newport Tower Museum. He's a nice guy and explained in detail his theory on what the Tower is and how it was used. It's a fascinating subject regardless of which of the several viewpoints and theories you subscribe to.

"Revelation of the Holy Grail" by Chevalier Emerys aka Timothy Hogan


Revelation of the Holy Grail
by Chevalier Emerys
aka
Timothy Hogan
Lulu (Self Published), 2007
Notes by Travis Simpkins

     In the introduction to Revelation of the Holy Grail, Chevalier Emerys (Timothy Hogan) states, "I hope to show that the myths, philosophy and science of the Grail were created as a guidepost for the age of Aquarius, which is to come… I will show that the Grail science was created as a means of individual development and spiritual regeneration, and that it has hidden within it an actual technology that will one day transform the world." Over the course of the next 300+ pages, Timothy Hogan takes the reader on an intriguing and complex journey through history regarding the Arthurian Legends and the Grail Traditions, then ventures off through esoteric realms and observes subjects such as Atlantis, Sacred Geometry, Alchemy, Rennes-le-chateau, the Prester John story, the Knights Templar, the Freemasons and other "secret societies." The text offers pause for thought throughout and if approached with a free-thinking mentality, is often times transformative. To venture further here in a synopsis would be a disservice to the book, which contains insights that are best experienced firsthand.
     A few of my favorite quotes from the text:

     "Each quester for truth must ultimately leave his own comfort zone, and go individually into the most obscure places for the light of understanding- whether these be internal or external journeys."

     "Only He who is pure and unselfish in motive will find the Grail… coming to understand a direct gnosis, or knowledge of God."

     "The true Holy Grail is believed to be the state of Christ Consciousness, or Gnosis, which is achieved either through meditation alone, or meditation with the Grail stone. It ultimately symbolizes the quest for mankind's highest potential. The transformed self then becomes the greatest healer of the wasteland- both without, and within."

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007): Cate Blanchett Returns as the 16th Century Monarch


     Directed by Shekhar Kapur, and written by William Nicholson and Michael Hirst, Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) is the sequel to the outstanding 1998 film, Elizabeth. The story picks up roughly where the last film left off, and presents a somewhat fictionalized account of the later years in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603)… particularly with the threat that the Spanish crown exuded against England before the epic decimation of the Spanish Armada on the English Channel in the 16th Century. Of interesting note is the appearance of Dr. John Dee, a respected scientist of the period, whose studies in alchemy and hermeticism are rumored to have had a lasting effect in the lessons of Freemasonry. Cate Blanchett reprises her role as Queen Elizabeth I. Geoffrey Rush returns as the faithful and brutal advisor, Francis Walsingham. Clive Owen appears as New World Explorer, Sir Walter Raleigh, who had just returned from founding a colony in the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth's name… Virginia. Samantha Morton is Mary, Queen of Scots. The supporting cast is great as well, including Eddie Redmayne, Abbie Cornish and David Threlfall.
