Book Cover & Preview Text
The reason why I have decided to write this book is to show the discrepancies and similarities between the basic trend, as old as or even older than the human history known by which it has been shaped and Freemasonry, the prominent supporter of this trend today along with other organizations still existing or those embedded in time. This trend, which is known as “esoteric” and “anagogic”, is a trend which defends the main principles that can only be perceived with love and can only be revealed by radical thinking, and which solely aims at Man evolving into perfect human beings, and thus allowing them to conjoin with God. Esoteric Doctrines, known as “pantheism” in the world of philosophy, has taken the name “Sufism” in the Moslem World, showing its biggest effect in the modern world through Freemasonry, and has played an important role in the formation of the western culture. Most of the information we have on the Mu Continent and the Mu civilization is obtained from the explorations of the 19th century British explorer James Churchward. Churchward, who was a colonel in the British Army, was first informed on Mu when he was working in India and Tibet in the 1880’s. He continued his efforts in Central America after he retired, and wrote five books on this wracked civilization. Churchward’s sources were the “Nacaal Tablets” given to him in a temple in Tibet, by the arch bishop of that temple, and the tablets found by the American geologist William Niven in Mexico, between 1921 and 1923.1 Another continent civilization that had tremendous effect on human history was the civilization of Atlantis. Among the Berber tribes in North Africa, there was a myth of a country of Attalon, that had submerged in the Ocean and would rise again soon.The Celts believed that their ancestors came from a country known as Avalon in the west. The Basques believed that they had arrived from a country called Atlantica and that they were the great grandchildren of the Atlantis.1 In a book written by Ignatius Donnelly and published in 1882, named “The World Before the Great Flood”, he had drawn attention to the fact that the Basque people had no similarities with other Europeans, neither in terms of language, nor physical terms.2 According to Donnelly, the Basque people had migrated into Iberia from Atlantis after the flood. Basque language was a language totally specific to itself, and was identical to the language of the Paten tribe, living in South America. In Hebrew and Arabic myths, a country named “Ad” was mentioned.

About the Book
A study on Freemasonry, Illuminati, Esoteric and Anagogical developments, extending to the two lost continents of Mu and Atlantis to the Maya, Uyghur and the Egyptian civilizations, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Where are the roots of monotheism? Who were the first monotheistic believers? Where are the roots of today's heavenly religions? This research is about a doctrine that has deeply influenced the belief systems since the dark periods of human history within the context of processes of historical development of esoteric beliefs. In addition to the birth of monotheistic religions, the esoteric teachings that enable the rational thought system to reach the present and allow us to be in the Era of Reason, reveal that God is love and not fear, and that the power of intuition is led by reason. The greatest deficiency of our time is that this great love is not boldly revealed. The real purpose of this work is to bring this sublime expression of love out of its narrow frames to reach out to the masses.
