In December 1951, Edward Leedskalnin died taking his secrets and amazing knowledge to his grave. Now, After more than half a century the silence is broken. How To Read His Writings is the first book that explains how to decode the secret writings Edward Leedskalnin encoded in his works. You will see how IT works with actual decoded writings that will shock and tantalize your innermost being and thirst for the truth.

From the Author

When I first read Edward Leedskalnin's published works, I interpreted them as most first time reader's do. Viewing them as poorly written and making no real sense at all, they landed up in a dusty box in my basement. Then it came to me. Was it possible that Edward Leedskalnin wrote his works in some type of code?

After nine on and off years of trial and error I accidentally stumble across how Edward Leedskalnin ingeniously encoded his works. His writings, which safeguarded his amazing knowledge for more than half a century, came to life. I quickly realize there was more to Edward Leedskalnin than just lifting massive rocks.

My book, entitled How To Read His Writings, is written in an easy to understand format. Best of all, you don't need to be a code-breaking expert to read this book. Revealed is how to decode Edward Leedskalnin's writings with actual decoded examples so you will know it is his words you will discover and not mine.

Once his hidden words come to life and speak to you, you to will discover what it is all about and see the path to the answers you are looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Prank but the Truth, September 6, 2003

By 

George (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Read His Writings: The Unauthorized Guide to Decoding Edward Leedskalnin's Works (Paperback)

I recently bought a copy of this "How To" book because of a stop I made at the Coral Castle while driving to the Florida Keys eight years ago.

That was when I became more than just curious as to how a near ninety pound -- five foot tall Edward Leedskalnin raised and moved tons of rock without any help or modern equipment. With camera in hand I took over three rolls of pictures that day as I walked amidst the megalithic rocks it contained. I even bought all of Edward Leedskalnin's writings that were for sale in the Coral Castle store, but upon later reading Leedskalnin's writings, I became totally lost by his rambling prose and wondered why I ever bought them since they made no sense at all to me.

When I came upon this "How To" book with its claim that Edward Leedskalnin encoded his secret in his works I couldn't pass it up. After reading it, I wondered if this "How To" book was just a prank or the truth. Did Edward Leedskalnin methodically hide his secret in his works for someone to find in the future, or did Leedskalnin instead take his secret to his grave?

It was then that I decided to put this "How To" book through some tests to see if it was a prank or possibly the truth.

I dug out all the pictures I took of the Coral Castle and to my surprise everything in this "How To" book was there. It wasn't the megalithic rocks that the book described but the symbols and subtle clues Edward Leedskalnin placed that anyone would easily overlook during a single roadside stop at his Coral Castle.

I'm also no genius when it comes to deciphering code but being the skeptic I went the next step. I downloaded an enigma machine simulator of the type the book described and found again to my surprise that the examples in this "How To" book did in fact work as claimed.

Another test, but not the last, was if I could replicate the picture that was described in the book's last chapter by mirroring the cover image of Edward Leedskalnin's book. This "How To" book was again accurate since the previously unseen skulls and crossed bones that this book described became clearly visible as with the eerie humanoid figure standing centered in an open gate.

I will be the first to admit that this "How To" book is most controversial not only of the subject matter it contains but how it is presented. Starting off in a light hearted manner this book quickly becomes serious and then dark and mysterious as it implies to the reader that Edward Leedskalnin's secret is somehow tied in with that unknown realm that all mortals fear.

This author is definitely no different than his unexpected description of Edward Leedskalnin as being a "sneaky little devil" himself. Although he identifies the tools to decode Edward Leedskalnin's works as well as taking you through specific examples of how to use them he holds back from telling you all that he undoubtedly knows or is possibly is allowed to disclose.

This book seems to me akin to being taught how master a playground swing as a child. When you first start someone not only does all the work by pushing you along in the background but also chooses the speed and height you are taken. It is only when you decide to break away, choosing to learn and do the work on your own, do you become master of the swing to achieve the speed and height that your will dares. The author in turn seems to want the reader to make a conscious choice to start with what he gives and use their own free will if they wish to peer into the unknown to discover Edward Leedskalnin's prize.

My tests have shown me that this fresh but controversial "How To" book is not a prank, more than just a tickle and definitely a keeper for my personal library. It is the only book I have found that has shed any new light on the mystery surrounding the individual known as Edward Leedskalnin.

It has become more than clear to me that this author's claim that Edward Leedskalnin encoded his secret in his works for anyone willing to look for it is not just a possibility but the truth.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to uncover Edward Leedskalnin's secret. But, as the author warns the reader, and as I have since found, once you make the choice and start to uncover Edward Leedskalnin's prize you will definitely become hooked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rock On, September 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: How To Read His Writings: The Unauthorized Guide to Decoding Edward Leedskalnin's Works (Paperback)

After excitedly running downstairs & telling my husband about how Edward Leedskalnin would only respond to precisly two rings at his Rock Gate, I eagerly ran back upstairs to return to reading this book, anticipating a world of secret knowledge opened up to me through revelations about the incredible precision Leedskalnin must have employed in building his fantastic rock garden and in writing his mysterious works about magnetic currents.

However, I soon realized that the part about the two doorbell rings was the only part of this book I would really be able to understand. In a nutshell, it would appear that the author theorizes that Leedskalnin used a double mirror, a WWII enigma machine, the Bible, the properties of light, and his own wit and imagination to encode ancient knowledge about the mysteries of life (including anti-gravity) into both his rock garden and also his works on magnetic current. Also important is the apparent Eastern orientation of Leedskalnin's rock works and written works--all, literally, physically, and figuratively.

The author seems to imply that one could take a dollar bill and wend it through Leedskalnin's written documents to find the answers. Maybe I will try that, because I really couldn't get it from reading this book. I think the author has some interesting things to say about Leedskalnin's works, and offers food for thought and interesting perspectives on the man; but I would venture to say that anyone looking here for THE ANSWERS to the many mysteries posed by Leedsklanin and his amazing feats will come away from this book with more questions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Swim Away!, July 7, 2004

This review is from: How To Read His Writings: The Unauthorized Guide to Decoding Edward Leedskalnin's Works (Paperback)

I think the author tries to warn you that there's something fishy about this book with his little poem at the start, so swim away and don't get caught in the net or hook or whatever he thinks he's fishing with. I suspect if I fold the pages of this book a certain way, it spells out "YOU ARE A SUCKER!!"

Do not waste $28.00 (or 2 cents) on this book. I can't believe I fell for it and wished I would have listened to the guy that said it was "pure drivel" because it was. Marlinski needs a hobby! I thought the book would explain some sort of code or possibly interpret Leedsklanin's sketches or clarify something written incorrectly. . . I don't know. I do know, I didn't expect this: Leedsklanin took out an ad in the news paper to sell his Magnetic Current book, by asking those interested to send him a $1. Somehow, Marlinski reads this as a hint to take that dollar, fold it in half (or thirds, I don't remember and I bet it doesn't matter) and weave it through the pages. The pyramid points to something which leads Marlinski to think Leedsklanin is hinting at something, so if you turn the book upside down, fold that page in half and read one word on each page, you get "ED SAD" which is supposed to mean something.

You'll get more out of the book if you stand on one leg, jump up and down and smack yourself in the head with it, saying, "I can't believe I bought this book when I was warned not to waste my money!"
