Book description
Robert Lomas is the bestselling co-author of
The Hiram Key
and other international bestsellers on Freemasonic mysteries. Many say
he is the model for Dan Brown's hero, Robert Langdon.
The Lost Key contains revelations that only an initiate of the
highest orders of esoteric Freemasonry is in a position to make. Here
is the truth behind the hints in Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol
that Freemasonry is concerned to reawaken the hidden potentialities
and powers of the human mind.
The thrilling narrative of this new book follows a candidate for
initiation as he rises through the different grades of initiation,
taking part in ceremonies that are sometimes terrifying but always
revealing of new knowledge and presenting new mysteries which will
only be solved when the next stage of initiation has been achieved.
Dramatic episodes include the re-enacting of an ancient murder from
3,000 years ago in full gory detail, lowering the candidate on the end
of a rope into a dark vault under the floor of the temple, holding a
dagger to the candidates naked breast, and making the candidate attend
his own funeral.
In the secret teachings revealed to some high-level initiates, there
is a type of instruction which seems curiously similar to religious
and mystical teachings. Astrology, angels, chakras and the powers of
the mind to operate independently of the body, such as in remote
viewing, are all a part of Freemasonic lore.
Robert Lomas is both a physicist - he teaches physics at Bradford
Unversity - and a Freemason. Here he reveals to a wider public and
also explains these secret teachings for the first time. He shows that
while they are dismissed as superstitious by campaigners for atheism
such as Richard Dawkins, they are very much part of the strange,
paradoxical world opened up by the latest thinking in quantum physics.
This is why he prefers to call them 'Supranatural'.
Dr Robert Lomas has established himself as one of the
worlds leading authorities on the history of science and lectures at
Bradford University's School of Management, one of the UK's leading
business schools. He is a regular speaker on the Masonic lecture
circuit as well as a strong supporter of the Orkney Science Festival.
He has co-authored the best-selling The Hiram Key, The Second Messiah,
Uriel's Machine and The Book of Hiram.
