Fascinating film. If you've ever wanted to know the real story behind the "Great Seal of the United States" this is for you. Mysticism, occultism and politics combine to create a symbol that is perplexing and mysterious. Chris Pinto has done another (See: America's Beginnings and Riddles in Stone)great job bringing experts together to tell the tale of Freemasonry and the influence on the US.

This is the third volume in series. It deals for the most part with the occult history surrounding Great Seal on the dollar bill. While there is lot of new information presented, some stuff you probably already know. For instance, even though the dollar bill says 'In God we trust', the question is: of which 'God/god' does it speak? Of course it is plainly evident that pyramid with an all-seeing eye is NOT a Christian symbol. So, the Christian origin of the seal is ruled out. Well, if you interested in this subject, and especially if you seen two previous films in the series, you might want to see this one as well. Of course, you will have to make your own judgment about the information presented. It may be true, partially true, or mostly false. I don't think I am qualified to say much in regard to the information presented, but some data is simply historical and deals with geography and specific people. For instance, a person still can visit a museum of Roerich, and they do affirm that Roerich had his part in designing a dollar bill. For instance, a person at museum said " ... to have that Mason symbol put on the dollar bill, so that every resident of the US is connected to Rorich through the dollar bill." So, there is no hidden conspiracy or anything about that. It is plain and simple. Generally speaking, it was informative even though I recognize that there is a room for dispute on some topics presented. I recommend you to take it with a grain of salt, but nevertheless to watch it (if this sort of material is of interest to you). good fight dot org is where you can find list of great videos

I haven't seen this DVD, but my book Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest (Adventures Unlimited Press, 2008) has been out for a year now. [...] It seems these people could have at least googled the title before releasing it.

Eye of the Phoenix gives information on the dollar bill that you will not find in any other documentary. Incredibly, this film refutes ideas that the symbols on our currency are not based in the occult, proving that they were put there by men who saw them as Satanic/Luciferian icons. I don't want to reveal too much, but this is proven beyond any doubt. FDR and his Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace (both 32nd degree Freemasons at the time) surrounded themselves with a collection of Theosophists, Masons and Rosicrucians -- among whom was Russian mystic, Nicholas Roerich. Lots of info. on Roerich and his ecumenical paintings which were designed to introduce Eastern Mysticism to Western culture -- to promote universal archetypes that would inspire a global consciousness. The film also reveals how Roerich was the one who, as the "guru" to Henry Wallace, influenced the placement of the Great Seal on the back of the dollar bill. "Phoenix" is the third part in the documentary series, "Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings" -- and many are saying this is the best of the three. This is partly because the film also addresses our current economic crisis, something predicted by researchers for years, long before anyone even knew who Barack Obama was. The film suggests that the symbolism of the eagle is really a cleverly disguised Phoenix, the ancient mythical bird that destroys itself by fire. Strong evidence is presented that this symbol implies the intentional destruction of the U.S. dollar by secret societies, who plan to use the collapse of our currency as an opportunity to create a global economy, in order to further the New World Order. Also fascinating is the research into the Stone of Destiny, a legendary artifact that Roerich claimed to have in his possession, and which Henry Wallace wrote about. In the occult, the stone is said to have come from the crown of the archangel Lucifer, and is supposed to empower world unity. Some occultists claim that Roerich gave part of the stone to the League of Nations for this purpose.

Either a skeptic or full-on believer will thouroughly enjoy this unique "history lesson". Not only does it reveal how our dollar bill came about, but it identifies all the key figures involved! Those included are some of the most famous of American history taught to us in grade school! On top of that, it reveals the true intentions of our politicians and those that influence America's policies, and takes it all the way to present time, to where our most powerful leaders intend to take us! Without a doubt, mind-blowing!!!! An absolute must-see for anyone who cares about our country and our future!

Opening the Ark of the Covenant: The Secret Power of the Ancients, the Knights Templar Connection, And the Search for the Holy Grail by Frank Joseph and Laura Beaudoin is an excellent, fascinating and certainly thought provoking book. This should come as no surprise given the fact that co-author Frank Joseph is the editor of Ancient American magazine, and is the author of the books Atlantis Encyclopedia and Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America. This book has a timeline for the existence of the Ark of the Covenant and also some informed speculation about the Ark being in America. Another topic that this book covers well is the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. This is a great reference work to have on hand.

I like some of Frank Joseph's books but this one has no merit. Merely a speculation without any solid fundation. If you want a good book about the true Ark of Covenant and its possible locations, read Randall Price book.

OPENING THE ARK OF THE COVENANT: THE SECRET POWER OF THE ANCIENTS, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONNECTION, AND THE SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL will reach both new age and mainstream spirituality holdings, comes from the editor-in-chief of the popular science magazine Ancient America and a co-author with direct ancestors connected to the Crusader kings in the 12th and 13th centuries, and provides worldwide research into the Ark's disappearance which proves its facts. An engrossing analysis of Ark representations and documents evolves.

This book takes you from Atlantis to the Holy Grail and bloodline. A very interesting idea about a crystal formation that was the power source for the Ark of the Covenant and use in building the Pyramids. The crystal resonated just right over land areas that were in turmoil regularly because of eathquake or volcanic activity. This would allow humans to attain a euphoric or trance like state. The wise men, holy men, shamans of the world were the keepers of the secret of how these crystals worked. The path of the crystal starts in Lemuria (Atlantis) and passes to other areas of the world with the catastrophic demise of Atlantis. And if anything it was a fun read.

Just started reading this book. But I just wanted to comment on the graphics. The illustrations are not that good in this version. I saw the 2003 version at borders ($25) and the graphics in that one is in color and is easier to see. I am purchasing the 2003 version for my library.

Having been disappointed with the first version I ordered (the other new, blue-covered edition from Wilder Publications) as the illustrations are so bad, I'm writing this review to save others wasting their money in a similar way. One can always return a book, but when it's shipped from another continent, it costs a fortune in postage. Both texts are identical of course, but this version also has an index at the back which the Wilder Publications version sadly lacks, which is very frustrating when trying to look up information. The pictures in this book are well-copied and every detail can be seen, which is important when the illustrations are under discussion in the text. Having said that, the paper used is not of a particularly high quality. In this single aspect, the version with the poor pictures wins with better paper, but it costs near $10 extra at the moment second-hand. As they say, you can't win 'em all.

originaly many volumes(so this is a this is a bit like cliff notes..but still thick as a brick in size and scope)-Hall wrote this when he was only 27..that alone will blow your mind. It is brilliantly dumbed down enough for anyone with an IQ over 110 to "GET IT".

Manly P. Hall, adept, sage, philosopher, Freemason, and intellectual, has given the world this amazing encyclopedic overview of the world's most important esoteric traditions and philosophical schools of thought. The reading is not light, but the reader will come away enlightened if they put the time into truly comprehending Mr. Hall's words - that is to say the teachings of antiquity. Anyone who wants an introduction to esoteric traditions need look no further. "Secret Teachings" is widely regarded as one of, if not the best books on the subject matter. Whether you decide to read it cover to cover or pick and choose from the dozens of chapters/subjects; purchase this tome and you will not be disappointed.

The book certainly has an exhaustive amount of data. However, I'll probably get the most out of it when I can have someone read it to me. The print is just too small for easy reading and makes what should be an enjoyable experience into a labor. I do not understand why the publishers present the text in such a hard format to read.
