Book Description

April 1, 2000
Traces five core beliefs that vastly predate all of today's organized religions. Some aspects of these eternal truths or universal spiritual laws have been absorbed into contemporary religions while some have been vigorously suppressed. Author William Fix uncovers these core beliefs with synchronistic material from many spiritual traditions from Black Elk to Eliade; from the Egyptian Book of the Dead to Jung, from Edgar Cayce to Teilhard de Chardin and draws on his years of research in early Christianity, shamanism, ancient hermetic, Gnostic, and Indian writings, as well as his groundbreaking book on the Great Pyramid (Pyramid Odyssey). He challenges such widely held theories as the notion of scientific progress from ancient times to the present, and the presumed irrationality of religion.

"William Fix probes the sacred symbols of humanitys past and finds in them truth to guide us into a spiritual future. Perceptive, well written, and enlightening, this book will feed the religious hungers of our day in a way that traditional religious formulas can never accomplish."
--Bishop John Spong, best selling author of Why Christianity Must Change or Die and Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism

"Few authors have the background and ability to delve into the many fields of often neglected knowledge that William Fix does. [In this book] he has produced a readable, exciting and compelling case for the spiritual nature of men and women, and he challenges his readers to continue to seek mankinds ultimate goal of oneness with God."
--Edgar Evans Cayce, author of Edgar Cayce on Atlantis

"Behind the dogma of religions and the ever-shifting theories of modern science there exists a traditional, unchanging view of the universe and our place in it, spiritually based and truly scientific. At certain periods in history this knowledge is revealed, reviving art and culture and giving rise to just, long-lasting civilizations. Inevitably, in response to the chaos of our times, the divine pattern of our ordered universe is now becoming apparent. William Fix is in tune with this wonderful and timely revelation, and he is well qualified to describe its principles and contents. This book is indeed revolutionary, not in a violent or material sense but in its effects on readers minds, relieving them of fears and false doctrines and guiding them into ways of thought and perception which accord with human nature and are the surest ways towards happiness."
--John Michell, author of The Dimensions of Paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, challenging, controversial, profoundly engaging, June 5, 2000
This review is from: Lake of Memory Rising: Return of the Five Ancient Truths at the Heart of Religion (Hardcover)
In Lake Of Memory Rising: Return Of The Five Ancient Truths At The Heart Of Religion, William Fix draws on thirty years of study in Christianity, shamanism, and ancient hermetic, Gnostic, and Indian writings, as well as his ground breaking earlier writings on the measurements of the pyramids and ancient star maps to present a ground synthesis of comparative religion and mythology. Several provocative chapters examine the spirit known as Jesus and his many incarnations leading up to his likely initiation in the Great Pyramid and ultimate triumph over death. Especially recommended to students of comparative religion and metaphysical studies, Lake Of Memory Rising is fascinating, informative, challenging, controversial, and profoundly engaging reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pyramid Power, June 13, 2007
This review is from: Lake of Memory Rising: Return of the Five Ancient Truths at the Heart of Religion (Hardcover)
If anything is buried in the Great Pyramid at Giza, it's Egyptology. What an incredible book - I've read it several times (as well as his other books - Star Maps and Pyramid Odyssey) and I've found that my whole view of the history of the world and the origins of mankind has changed significantly. The histories of the world and science are not linear.
