It is becoming clear that Tim Beckley is becoming the Keeper of the Records for the classic works detailing the research, thoughts, and philosophies of those writers and researchers of the esoteric and the mystical from earlier periods of investigation into the Unknown. Once again we are indebted to him for presenting another metaphysical standard for contemporary readers who might otherwise never have become aware of the works of Brother Philip and his accounts of the secret brotherhoods of the Andes. Those of us who knew "Brother Philip" are pleased that his work--whether metaphorical or literal--is born again to challenge new readers.

Whatever process Amazon used to put this text into Kindle format should be avoided. It looks like an OCR (character recognition) translation. There are many jumbled characters in the text that you run into. There also appear to be page number appears just as numbers floating in the middle of the text. These flaws, which appear to not have undergone sufficient editing, really make Amazon look bad. I cannot recommend this translation in it's current form. Speaking of Kindle misfires, Amazon also needs to get color into this book too Sound: Native Teachings and Visionary Art of Joseph Rael)

Now for the actual content of the book, I cannot remotely believe this is an attempt at fact. The Sacred or Great White Brotherhood is not going to run monastic lifestyles. There is much of a Christian slant to this GWB that it's just not logical. If you accept the higher focus of the Christ teachings, and give possibility that Issa was a real person, AND that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute (as the church later twisted) but really his mate, lover, wife, co-teacher (see the work of Tom Kenyon for these teachings), the it makes absolutely NO sense that the Christ teachings would require monastic lifestyle whatever. If there is any advanced spiritual teaching it deals directly with integration of polarities. It does not lead to what we clearly know as some of the blatant flaws in the monastic twisting of spiritual teachings. Suppressed sexual expression will come out in forms that often prey on those who can do least about it.

There are many, many other reasons to not believe what is in this book. The author clearly was in or around Peru based on many of the things he says. Secret sacred brotherhoods and the like, may sell books, but in reality such things do not last the test of time. Just for the fact that they would be largely unknown once the founding generation ages and dies any such 'brother'hood (that is a gender-prejudicial phrase) becomes extinct.

Apart from the previous points (and there are many more), the book ends up just being boring. I do not hear the voice of an expert in this matter. You can quote Lord such and such as much as you want. The test of any authentic wisdom is put into words like this 'Does it grow corn'? In this book I hear alot of I know this and such. But I do not hear real wisdom from telling tales of Earth's supposed history on how some brotherhood is going to help us out.

If you want real wisdom of the Andes there are two sources that are worth your time:
Gate of Paradise: Secrets of Andean Shamanism
Andean Awakening: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru

Around the world few other places have such a spiritual appeal.
Thousands visit each year not only for it beauty but for its mysticism and a
chance to feel the presence of the ancient Gods who must have sparkled down on this
enchanted location. UFO sightings are frequent here to this day and actress Shirley Macclean
has told of the great wonders of the Andes. But perhaps no one has gotten closer to this enchanged ground that Brother Philip who in his life traveled throughout the mountains
learning of the legends and lore of the region. If you are seeking a true cosmic adventure this great expanded edition will entertain and enlighten you for hours.

This is a book written without any scientific basis, boring at the end, if you look you can read it for free online
