Deux messages inscrits subtilement sur la terre de France attendaient depuis sept cents ans qu'on les découvre. S'y entremêlent la géographie, l'histoire, l'architecture, la toponymie, la géométrie sacrée, les enseignements ésotériques, les symbolismes chrétien, celte et juif ... Le premier est l'oeuvre des rois de France, le second constitue le testament spirituel des Templiers.Cette réalité de messages codés cachés sur la terre de France et l'histoire tout aussi réelle de leur découverte n'ont rien à envier à la fiction ... Peut-être même la dépassent elles ! Ce premier tome est consacré au premier de ces messages: celui-ci passe par le biais de détails visibles dans des édifices religieux. Il a été pensé par d'éminents ecclésiastiques, et rendu possible par l'action des rois de France, de Louis VI à Louis IX, eux-mêmes influencés par leur proximité ou leur rivalité avec quelques grands noms d'une Europe éclairée. Catholiquement correct, ce message est basé sur les grandes étapes de la vie du Christ des évangiles ou l'histoire biblique des hébreux quittant l'Égypte sous la conduite de Moïse. Mais il transmet à qui sait les décoder les enseignements ésotériques de la tradition éternelle et de la Bible, ceux concernant les étapes du chemin initiatique, dont l'église de Rome ainsi que la plupart des rabbins ont perdu le véritable sens. Le récit de la découverte du message passe par celui des aventures de l'auteur et des improbables rencontres et synchronicités qui jalonnèrent sa quête. Ensuite, il décrypte les contenus du message en mêlant enquête historique, déchiffrage des symboles et enseignement psycho-spirituel. Il les enrichit à l'aune des connaissances scientifiques actuelles, et les complète par ses propres travaux. Il illustre ces aspects théoriques par le témoignage de son vécu personnel. En annexe, des questionnaires introspectifs sont proposés à ceux qui voudraient parcourir le chemin intérieur enseigné par chacun des deux messages. L'AUTEUR: Criminologue et juriste de formation initiale, il exerce d'abord des fonctions de direction dans le secteur social, puis en entreprise. Ensuite, après une période consacrée à l'enseignement du droit et de la gestion, il se forme à plusieurs approches du courant humaniste de la psychologie ainsi qu'à l'analyse systémique et devient psycho praticien et formateur-consultant (en 1993). Parallèlement à ses activités en entreprise et en cabinet, il sera douze années Maître de Conférences en Psychologie du Management et des Relations Humaines en université. Il oriente ses recherches sur les phénomènes humains complexes et les divers aspects de la conscience. Mêlant sciences exactes et sciences humaines, ses travaux intègrent les aspects objectifs et subjectifs, le rationnel et l'émotionnel, le scientifique et le philosophique, l'individuel, le groupal et le sociétal. Comme tout criminologue, il recueille les indices et observations pour les analyser à l'aune des différentes disciplines et les passer au crible de différents registres. Pour cette enquête, il a collecté le maximum de faits objectifs observables, et abordé les textes historiques, religieux, ésotériques ou visionnaires les plus divers, non comme des vérités, mais comme autant d'indices à punaiser sur le mur de ses investigations. À force d'expérience, il savait qu'un jour ou l'autre un nouvel élément lui permettrait de tendre un fil entre deux ou plusieurs de ces indices qui ne présentaient initialement aucun lien apparent.Sensible aux signaux de l'époque autant qu'aux enseignements des anciens, attentif aux synchronicités et autres signes du Hasard, il décida d'abandonner le confort de son quotidien pour adopter une vie d'itinérance: c'est alors que de nombreuses coïncidences plus étonnantes les unes que les autres éma

This newly revised volume of The Plutarch Project contains the stories of one would-be world ruler, and two orators "who, from small and obscure beginnings, became so great and mighty...contested with kings and tyrants...and at last ended their lives with the liberty of their countrymen."

Paul Steele was a young man in his prime, generous and popular around his small North Dakota town, the life and soul of every party, the guy people wanted to be around, and always a hit with the ladies. But Paul's life changed forever the moment he was nearly killed in a horrific work accident; it almost cost him a leg and put him in the sights of Lynn, the beautiful young blonde he'd taken a shine to at her parent's dive bar. Unable to resist her undeniable charm, Paul did the honorable thing when Lynn announced she was pregnant a few months into their relationship and embraced married life with the gal of his dreams. Sadly, the dream was destined to end in heartbreak and pain for Paul as his marriage crumbled under the weight of Lynn's lies, infidelity, and the stress of life with three daughters born in quick succession. On the night Lynn finally walked away from the marital home following a fierce fight, she left Paul a note revealing a secret so dark it ultimately destroyed his life. The aftermath of the secret and her leaving with his girls sent Paul spiraling into a vicious cycle of alcohol abuse, financial ruin, and attempted suicide. A haunted, tortured man, Paul drifted from state to state. He took on whatever work he could find as he fought hard to rebuild his life, while Lynn took his money and systematically turned his children against him. Being a decent man who put his children's feelings before his own, Paul chose not to reveal their mother's terrible secret, and he quietly carried that burden with him until one fateful day, decades later, he decided to reach out to his eldest daughter. And, while what came back rekindled all the old, painful memories and hurt, it also gave Paul a glimmer of hope. Could he reconcile with the three daughters he'd lost so many years before...?

We are in an era where the entire globe is at the moment of despair, anxiety and depression. Men and Women's hearts are failing. Joy is practically elusive and in cases where you find it, it's not long lasting because it's hinged on mundane things or fleeting happentances. "Pathways to Unlimited Joy", is book that unequivocally tells anyone priviledged with the book that God through Christ is The Author of Joy itself. It takes you from the introductory point till the last page on how the God ordained joy can be experienced with scriptural backings . The Author gave a no holds barred account of her personal experiences from one that had 100% hearing ability to an almost no hearing level, where it was pronounced deaf. In all of the difficult processes that led to her being declared deaf, she leads the reader through how one can maintain one's joy irrespective of what happens to one.

The end is nigh. The Harbingers were damned at the moment of their birth for the sin of existence. But they have clawed their way out of Hell and will murder God for abandoning them. Beware the coming of the godless age.
