May 2016 New Release.
Ancient history is the fragmented relics of a shipwreck; vastly more of the great knowledge of the past has vanished than has been revealed. Even the earliest accounts of Earth’s history were composed long after certain truths had lapsed from human memory, or were considered secrets far too powerful, or too sacred, to be revealed. Yet legends inevitably arose in which fragments of those truths were preserved.
This book explores one of the most captivating of all ancient legends, a story that for thousands of years has fascinated and inspired millions. Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient and enduring legends, and they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed.
Stretching in a vast crescent extending 1,500 miles with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more, the Great Himalayan Range cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Towering ice peaks nearly six miles high conceal remote, lushly forested valleys. For thousands of years the mysterious inner region of this Great Range has inspired countless legends of a hidden sanctuary of great masters possessed of all-encompassing knowledge.
Although arising from sources greatly separated both geographically and chronologically, the legends are remarkably consistent, varying only in details. The ancient B’on treaties are thought to be the earliest extant references, yet the same hidden realm is represented in many ancient traditions; the scriptures of the 4000 year old pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture, texts of the Kalki mythology, the Puranas, the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra, and in the even more ancient Kalachakra Mulatantra. The B’on treaties refer to the hidden sanctuary as Olmolungring, Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures as Shambhala, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde.
If this mysterious hidden realm truly exists, who–or what–lives there? Why do they stay so carefully concealed? What knowledge do they possess? What powers? If encountered, what would they want us to know?
Journey into a fabled lost realm deep in the Himalayas to explore knowledge that for long millenniums has remained hidden under the most intense silence. Drawn from the archived journals and field notes of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in Nepal and Tibet, this entertaining and richly enlightening anthology is an incomparable read for anyone seeking greater knowledge and personal power.
