The Tree of Knowledge often bears a sour fruit. Knowledge and understanding work both ways
-- they give and they take away. As knowledge and understanding increase, the true nature of accept-
ed facts is revealed. And, in the light of new knowledge, accepted beliefs are often seen as mistakes of
the intellect or worse. Thus has it been with Christianity. It is, perhaps, harsh to call Christianity -- or,
more particularly, Catholicism -- a conspiracy but that is what it was. To further its own ends, in one
of the most outrageous and cynically manipulative campaigns the world has ever seen, the Catholic
Church simply rewrote history. But, as our knowledge of ancient civilisations has increased, the lies,
fairy tales, mistranslations and Machiavellian machinations of the Catholic Church have been reveal-
ed. Nothing is as we understand it. Little of what the Church has told us is real. There is only a kernal
of truth in history as we understand it. However, taking that kernal of truth, through multi-disciplin-
ary study we can extrapolate it into something more cineramic.
....The Covenant Consiracy is about what came before the Catholic Church. It is about the real
Christianity, the real Christ, the real facts and events that shaped world history. If you have ever
wondered exactly who and what Jesus Christ was, this series will tell you. Mystical being or real man.
Messiah or king. Saviour or sorceror. Triumvirate or terrorist. Carpenter or a member of 10 cc.
What was the real Jesus Christ, what was his message and what was his meaning in the history of
the world. In The Covenant Conspiracy we will be revealing all. Applying over 40 years of intensive
research into the 'truth of Christianity,' we will be bringing you totally new knowledge that pulls
together the strings of time and ties them into something that we can all recognise as being true.

The other side of the story. If the Catholic Church had the lies and the deceit, who had the truth?
Or did it simply disappear, buried in the elaborate fabrications of corrupt institutions? In fact, the
truth did live on -- as the central ethos and powerbase of the Knights Templar. One of the most
influential, pervasive and, perhaps, sinister organisations the world has ever seen, the Templars and
their modern descendants, the Freemasons, built its own powerbase on a knowledge of the truth of
Christianity that exceeded even the Church's. But, like the Church, it had its own agenda, its own
ambitions for world domination, its own secret paths and byways. Playing with world consciousness
like a yo-yo, the Templars used their esoteric knowledge in the furtherance of science and society but
at the same time created a web of deceit, information and disinformation, lies and suggestion that
formed some of the most enduring myths of modern society. Without the Templars, the myth and
legends of the chivalric age -- of brave and noble knights, of King Arthur and the magician, Merlin,
of the Fisher King and fair Parzival, of the Holy Grail and the blood of Christ -- would not exist. Nor,
indeed, would so many of society's finer qualities. For the chivalry of the Templars was not merely
about rescuing damsels in distress and maintaining order in a wayward and uncultured land. It was
also about art and culture, manners and ideas, social grace and courtly love. Yet, still, the Templars
remain a secret organisation that, even today, is still shrouded in secrecy but continues to manipulate
society from behind the scenes. Although the Knights Templar are said to have been wiped from the
face of Europe in 1366 by Phillipe la Bel, the central organisation merely went into hiding. In this
exhaustive survey of what the Templars and the Freemasons are about, we will reveal much new
knowledge. For the first time (possibly,) we will be revealing the secrets that the first Templars
discovered under the Temple of Solomon on Mount Sion, we will be tracing their acquisition of
knowledge, treasures and political power, their rise to dominate Europe and their downfall, their
secret knowledge and powers. And on the way we will be following Christ from ancient Israel to what
we think is his burial place in bonny Sco'land and tracing his bloodline down to modern times as we
reveal the secret organisation that is the final refuge of the teachings and treasures of the Templars.

Don't miss these disturbing but illuminating glimpses
into the real past as we take the lid off history
as we know it and give it a good stir.

To Enlightenment. Join Mr Bliss for the last time -- in this series, anyway -- as he leads us to the very core of
Vedic spiritual practices --- meditation. The keystone in the arch of consciousness, the essence of the divine, the
temple of true worship, meditation is the greatest gift of the ancient Vedic Rishis. A powerful yet deceptively
simple technique, meditation is the key to a life of bliss, joy and fulfilment. Despite its simplicity, maybe because
its power is way out of proportion to its level of difficulty, meditation remains wreathed in misconceptions, misund-
erstanding and confusion. But here comes Bliss (in more ways than one) to bring some clarity to the situation. As
he takes you through the history and the techniques of meditation, Mr Bliss will be revealing the true nature of
the Rig Veda as a handbook for those on the path of developing consciousness.

And to help you, we have some more of our A tro Z of alternative therapies. In issue three we'll be looking at four
more therapies that are hardly a spit away from witchcraft. We'll be starting with art therapy, whatever that is.
But the big guns will get to fire when we deal with the vast subject of indian ayurvedic medicine. There will also
be a lot to say about Bach Flower Therapy, a strange homeopathic hybrid that seems to work better than its
progenitor. And finally we will be taking a look at Bee Venom Therapy (probably very good for hives.) So join us
for a good laugh at expense of the desperately sick.
