Clay Barton gained access to temporarily declassified past life regression protocols used by the CIA when he worked at the Stanford Research Institute. Since then he has been something of an armchair treasure hunter, conducting hypnotic past life regressions on people. Shali Faisal and Clay take their roaming reincarnation parapsychology practice direct to their subjects and guide them through their past lives. They coax out information about lost valuables or hidden treasures from long ago. The subjects remember almost nothing of their reincarnation sessions so the rewards are all theirs for the taking. They heard whispers about a collection of “hidden writings” that have ties to the rumored secrets of the universe. Upon finally finding these treasures, they are confronted by a unidentifiable, secretive nemesis intent on stopping them. Despite being aided by a benevolent ally, they are repeatedly blocked from their goal.

This magical book leads directly into the deep sides of our hearts. With the poet and the wise man as heroes in a long and astonishing journey, we reach the edge of all of lifes questions through the perception of the third eye. Their journey begins in the Middle East, when the teller, in his lost moment, trails along. The three characters cross the world to seek for the truth, from the land of freedom (USA), the city of times and arts (London), and the country filled with contradictions (India). So within this adventure, they move from war to love, aspects of religion, and the discovery of lifes meaning. All of which are viewed by the wise man, who meditates daily, and the poet, who translates his surroundings into powerful verses.

In the epoch of the late antiquity, Gnostic schools gave their own exhaustive answers for the eternal questions of humankind: Who are we? Where did we come from, and why do we exist? What gives rise to endless and inescapable evil and suffering? Jorge Borges describes the Gnostic view of lifethat we are a careless or criminal blunder, the fruit of engagement of the flawed deity and crude material. Thus, the Gnostic answers to these questions were radically different from those espoused by traditional religions of the time. Gnosticism through the Prism of the Third Millennium explores this Gnostic view of life and how they viewed a material world as a distortion of celestial spheresand how in humanity they saw a being doomed to suffering yet carrying inside the spark of the supreme, divine world. Author Alexander Maistrovoy offers a history of Gnosticism and its confrontation with the church, showing how despite the crash of Gnostic schools, its teachings and its questions did not disappear. Today we can make sense of Gnostic philosophy not through the prism of mysticism or mythology, but from the point of view of rationalism, scientific knowledge, and historical experience. And what we will discover is that Gnostic thought has meaning and relevancy today, shedding light on fundamental questions about the universe, ourselves, and the divine.
