-Caveat Lector- From: http://dailygrail.com In the Name of the Gods [To be released in the UK in June 2001 by Green Man Press] Controversial new book - ancient religions based upon science. In a new book, In the Name of the Gods, author David Elkington, along with associates Paul Ellson and John Reid, provides a scientific explanation for the basis of religion and spiritual practices. Giving examples from acoustic experiments at various ancient sacred sites, Elkington establishes an acoustic motive behind the construction of sacred buildings and further posits that the use of radon bearing granite and the positioning of buildings, including churches and cathedrals, demonstrate that the builders knew the properties of these rocks and may have used the higher radiation present to help gain an expanded awareness. Christianity's origins far older than Christ Citing the relationship between the frequencies of the human brain in expanded state (7-13Hz) and the dominating frequency of planetary resonance (around 8Hz) Elkington builds a case for an ancient science as the root of early religions and also of Christianity. Using a study of names and places found in scripture and mythology, the roots of Christianity are traced to a far more ancient and worldwide phenomena which had an emphasis on chant and invocation in specially constructed places in order to attain heightened states of consciousness. Also, evidence of a temporary revival of this knowledge is revealed through a study of Gothic cathedrals. Experiments in the Great Pyramid A prime ancient site for these practices is revealed to be the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, Egypt. Evidence that the ancient Egyptians derived much of their symbolism through an acoustic process known as 'cymatic' is demonstrated by reports and photographs from a recent cymatics experiment undertaken in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid by researcher John Reid. Cymatics is a process of pattern creation whereby a fine material such as sand, having been sprinkled on a taut membrane, moves to form patterns when subject to particular notes or frequencies. Photographs show images closely akin to a number of Egyptian symbols including the 'Eye of Horus', the hieroglyph for Ra, the Sun God, and the 'Djed' pillar, emerging in sand suspended on the membrane which had been stretched over the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber. Further to this, David Elkington and Paul Ellson point out that frequency readings taken in the pyramid relate to brain wave frequencies which are know to create experience of peak clarity and expanded consciousness in human beings. The pluralistic thesis not only traces Christianity back to at least 3,000 BC, but also, in doing so, tackles the issue of the historical Jesus, his relationship to the priest-kings of the day and to the ancient cults of the heroes known as the dying and rising gods. The book's challenging conclusions regarding all of this and more, are expected to create excitement and controversy for many years to come.
