Editorial Reviews
Book Description
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.

Book Description
