5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on sacred technologies and their rediscovery
This is a block-buster book! I had trouble putting it down. Of all the books on spiritual subjects that I've read in the past 30+ years, this is one of the top five.

This book comes the closest to anything I've ever read of explaining a "theory of everything." Its range is from the scale of the multiple universes that I'd read about in Vedic texts, down...

1.0 out of 5 stars Barely concealed Maharishi-ism new-age hooey
Calling on all of the pop imagery that has "all hope for it and all evidence against it" this book attempts to lure those with overactive imaginations into a world of magical enlightenment that has somehow been kept secret. Secrets that are now available for the right fee from the right pop-guru. By blending movie-fantasy and scientific sounding words, the...

This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
This is a block-buster book! I had trouble putting it down. Of all the books on spiritual subjects that I've read in the past 30+ years, this is one of the top five.

This book comes the closest to anything I've ever read of explaining a "theory of everything." Its range is from the scale of the multiple universes that I'd read about in Vedic texts, down to subtle particles that are both spiritual and material, smaller than an atom. Its time scale is from the "Big Bang," which may be better characterized as a precipitation of matter out of consciousness, through the end of the universe.

The author describes the subtle-matter mechanics of spiritual development of the soul; how and why civilizations go through cycles of Golden Ages, Silver Ages, through our present Iron Age or Kali Yuga; and how sacred technologies were used by previous civilations for physical rejuvenation and spiritual upliftment. What makes this relevant today is that these technologies are apparently in the process of being rediscovered. If applied for the common good, they could transform life on our earth for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars An earth-transforming ancient sacred science rediscovered!, December 12, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
Robert Cox has assembled a compendium of esoteric topics melding ancient history, the symbology of world cultures, and the traditions of ancient seers into a crystal clear explanation of the sacred rituals which awaken, expand, and give seemingly miraculous powers to the non-physical individual mind. The personal mind is described as a being within the ever-creating Mother-Father Mind, the Supreme Being of our cosmos. The Kundalini of the Cosmos, i.e. the "pillar of celestial fire" descends into the kundalini of the initiate. As above, so below.

Further, he has lucidly defined a highly organized Sacred Science of spiritualized matter involving alchemistry with precious metals that will produce the long-sought Philosopher's Stone, the White Ash. This ASH is an incredibly high concentration of subtle energy or prana in tangible form. Rob Cox believes it will enable the invention of a plethora of unique healing devices and a completely new non-polluting set of power generation technologies. They can lift the burden of present day environmentally destructive mining, manufacturing, communication, nuclear and electrical industries from Mother Earth.

All this from the author's re-discovery of the practices of ancient seers obtaining cosmic consciousness and applying the universal laws of Sacred Science. An extension of this book's value in describing the potentials of our heritage from the ancient seers is the provision of a framework for linking and integrating isolated Sacred Science research that has been manifesting around the world during the past forty years. It is this most significant period at the conclusion of a 13,000 year half time on the 'Cosmic Clock' of the Zodiac that Robert Cox shows to be the entry time to a new Golden Age of Illumination and world harmony.

This book is a MUST READ. It will Spiritualize many of the most important matters in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understand how and why an Age of Enlightenment is dawning., December 7, 1997
By 
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
I've been practicing and teaching meditation for 30 years. The understanding of subtle energy presented in this book clarifies and integrates my understanding of a wide range of concepts and makes the goal of full spiritual development, both personal and global, a much more realistic, imminent attainment. Many of us feel intuitively that the world is about to undergo a dramatic transformation--unlike anything we've seen in recorded history. This book explains the mechanics of this transformation more clearly than any other I've read, offers practical advice on how to not only survive but enjoy the coming changes, and presents an inspiring vision of what the world might be like once they are completed.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!, January 7, 2008
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
Having been in an esoteric school in my twenties, and continuing the inner journey of spiritual knowledge and awareness, I thought I had "read it all". Au contraire!

Robert Cox's book offers the most enlightened, comprehensive and accurate "world view" in addition to the Cosmic Plan, for mankind and beyond. Written with clarity and simplicity, he takes us on a journey to meet the highest Celestial Beings.

More importantly, he clarified for me what approaches our shores in the near future. We are poised for an enormous Shift in Consciousness. The Mayans placed the "end date" of this energetic shift at December 21, 2012, and Robert ties all this information together so that we can finally begin to understand WHAT is coming, what is happening now, and how we may best prepare spiritually.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and only put it down because I wanted to savor every word. This one is a "MUST READ" for anyone and everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Profundity of the first magnitude, October 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
Here is one of the most important books in the history of mankind, for the simple reason that it gives
a crystal-clear picture of both the ultimate goal of all evolution, and at the same time specific practical
information on exactly how it can be achieved. Herein the ultimate goal of all evolution is not merely the
inner awakening of the individual to Self Realization, which thousands of other books have covered. In The
Pillar of Celestial Fire, a complete map of both the inner and the outer planes of evolution is provided,
showing a synthesis and an integration of both inner enlightenment and the outer exaltation of the physical
plane to the seven higher heavens, and ultimately the heart of the Great Central Sun.

The exaltation of the physical plane includes the ascension of the physical body into physical
immortality and its metamorphosis into a celestial body of light. One of the most exact scientific descriptions
of this process in the history of literature is given, citing quotes from hundreds of other books and documents,
and weaving them all together into a harmonious tapestry of illumination. Thus while the glorious visions it
paints are so fantastic as to be imagined by some as fantasy, it is simultaneously grounded in the most
perfectly correlated scientific research and confirmation in ancient records.

The exaltation of the physical plane also includes the evolution of the Earth and all of its inhabitants
into a World of Light, characterized by a permanent Golden Age, similar to that attained by our predecessors .
. . such as the other Worlds of Light already established in constellations like Orion and the Pleiades. Yet
where concepts like this in most other literature would be relegated to science fiction, this book validates its
assertions with the research, documentation, experiences, and historical records of other scientists already
accepted by the worldwide establishment as being among the greatest thinkers of all time.

In other words, it is presented very seriously as sincere fact, intended for here-and-now practical
application. A richly illustrated, graphically exact, and intuitively accurate portrayal of the history of ages on
the Earth, the vibratory dimensions in our galaxy and the universe, and an exhilaratingly precise scientific
description of how the Earth will ascend into a heavenly World of Light in a permanent Golden Age are
offered.

This book has a very high SPP (Secrets Per Page) quotient. It is literally packed with amazing
revelations, profound insights, unlocked secrets, beautiful visions, psychic disclosures, important discoveries,
and awesome expanses of comprehension. Another reviewer said "This book comes the closest of anything
I've ever read to explaining a 'theory of everything'". I would agree. While many other books in the fields of
physics and astronomy may encompass the infinitely large and the infinitely small, they are usually fairly
horizontal in their scope. Robert's book, by contrast, embraces both the infinitely vast horizontal expanses as
well as the spiritually vertical planes of comprehension, and how they interact. While he draws on known
texts in astronomy, physics, cosmology, chemistry, mathematics, and other sciences, he simultaneously
integrates them with the vertical wisdoms of Vedic Science, ancient Egyptian research, and the other major
spiritual traditions.

This book meets the standard of what I call the "mandala spiral pattern". This means that it contains a
consistent central theme serving as an axis around which a colorful panoramic kaleidoscope of changing
diversity revolves, elaborating on the central theme and reinforcing it on higher and higher levels all the way
to the end. This central theme is the infusion of celestial fire, which is the intensely brilliant subtle light
coming from the center of the Universe, into the gross density of physical matter. Both in the physical human
body as well as throughout the entire world of physical matter, this infusion raises the frequency vibration of
all things to progressively higher levels until it is transfigured into the seven highest heavenly realities.
The grades of ecstasy thus spoken of could seem like far-off fantasies, were it not for the fact that the
book graphically illustrates why the present time in which we are now living is right before the beginning of a
massive infusion of celestial fire into our planet. Very soon, in the next decade or two, a very powerful
column of intense light, the pillar of celestial fire, is going to arrive on the Earth, taking the planet and
everything in it into an unprecedented Golden Age. Robert offers very persuasive and convincing evidence
from the world=s greatest Seers, mathematics, history, and ancient records to validate this prophecy.

Furthermore, he describes in specific detail throughout the book how human beings can prepare for
this and participate gloriously in it, even starting to enjoy the benefits of it before it arrives to the planet as a
whole. This is accomplished through three main categories of spiritual evolution - - the internal, the external,
and divine grace. The internal avenues consist of meditation practices, prayer, mantras, and sacred rituals.
Divine grace is something that simply happens when all the individual conditions are right.

The external avenue involves the revival of the lost Sacred Science, the knowledge of creating the
sacrament variously known throughout ancient history as the Elixir of Life, the Manna, Sacred ash, Amrit,
Nectar of Immortality, Philosopher=s Stone, Bread of the Presence, Soma, Holy Grail, and other names. The
Pillar of Celestial Fire gives a beautifully comprehensive, detailed, richly documented, complete, insightful,
devoted, and precise education on the history of this substance, how and why it was created, the importance of
its role in the evolution of life, its function as a superconductor of the conscious love and light from the heart
of the Universe, and how it will assist in the transformation of the human body into a body of light and the
translation of planet Earth into a heavenly World of Light.

This book is clearly for highly evolved readers. While the terminology in it is purposely simple
enough to be understood linguistically by the layman, the concepts thus conveyed are so magnificent as to be
incomprehensible to the spiritually asleep, or appear as pure fiction to the ignorant, or generate jealousy and
greed in those who are imbalanced. The fantastic expansiveness of its comprehensive scope is simultaneously
synthesized with such elegant precision and crystal clarity in its focus that only the most evolved minds can
possibly fully appreciate its importance. Yet hopefully the very influence it wields on such minds will cause
the saints and geniuses of the world to spread this knowledge and its benefits to everyone, raising the entire
humanity into the awakening long dreamed of and prophesied by all the greatest Seers in history.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book left me with hope, based on fact, not fiction., December 5, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
When I first saw this book, I was thinking, "Here is another New Age channeled transcript" I was wrong. Mr. Cox has done a fabulous job of pulling all the pieces of a complex puzzle together. He has certainly done a wonderful job in leaving the reader with hope for a brighter future, not based on fossil fuels and nuclear weapons, rather based on technologies used in a time when mankind was more in tune with universal truths. It is about time science gave in to these truths and rethinks it's true purpose in our lives. Thank you Robert Cox for a glimpse of my own hopes and dreams in print!

This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
Robert Cox has managed to compile a great deal of ancient knowledge in to a very engaging and comprehensive book.
For those serious "seekers" of wisdom, this is a vital part of the quest to understand the universe from a spiritual point of reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is changing my world consciousness, September 8, 2009
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
This book has been the greatest source I have ever discovered of basic knowledge from the time in history when we were much more spiritually powerful. I pleased to say that it's described in a way that is very reasonable to understand and access. Although, I wouldn't recommend this book to someone unprepared for it. There is no going back once you have been introduced to such princibles. Please think deeply about your readiness and then take action to get this book next to your bed. School yourself and maybe I'll see you on the other side.

4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable first-time resource into esoteric and Vedic thought, July 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
If you are new to metaphysics especially in the areas of esoteric (aka Mystery) schools then this would be a great place to start. The author demonstrates and in-depth knowledge of Vedic, Egyptian, and Western mysticism and is able to present the material in an accessible fashion. Though the book is somewhat technical and could have been more careful in it's organization and have the chapters molded together better for the assistance of someone new to these subjects, the book is still a valuable resource. For those students looking to study more from the Vedic or Vedanta streams then you should spent much time in the Upanishads before moving onto other materials like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, April 26, 2008

This review is from: The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers (Paperback)
Joel 2:28-32

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD to come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
----------------------------------------------------

This book is clearly NOT for everyone. The vast majority of the
people have lost their contact with their inner Soul, and thus
have become materialistic, looking of material evidence for
God Transcendent, for Spirit, for the Divine...etc...
Even so-called religious people, evangelists, preachers who
have absolutely zero experience of God Transcendent, will
quickly denounce someone who humbly states that s/he have
indeed experienced that Supreme Transcendent Truth which is
the Almighty Father.

For people who have in truth had the experience of God Transcendent,
this book resounds with truth. Our planet does indeed have a date
with destiny - a destiny that will leave no stone unturned.
When our inner vision is opened, we will see what our true inner
nature is,and how we have strayed from it, the majority of humanity will experience the horrific pain that will not be assuaged:

Luke 13:23-28 (King James Version)

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.


Matthew 13:41-43

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


Thank you Robert Cox for sharing your inner vision with the world. Those who have "ears" will indeed hear what God is revealing through those in whom He is pouring His Spirit.
