As the world-respected author, Peter Dawkins states in the Preface: "To grasp what the Son of light means, we must first comprehend what the Virgin Mother means....The Virgin, like St Peter, hold the key to the Mystery."  In order to understand what is happening now, and what is likely to occur in the future, it is essential to have some comprehension of the laws of creation and evolution (or redemption). A knowledge of these laws is portrayed and recorded for mankind in the age-old myths and 'Mysteries' of initiation, taught to many, yet understood by few. All is summarised in the story of the Holy Family -- a story about the Divine Father, the Virgin Mother, and their Son of light.....of the sacrifice of the parent in order to give birth to the child....of the death of the lower self in order to release or become the higher self.  A crucial factor, then, in this whole life-evolving process is purity or virginity.  Learn about the real -- and ancient -- meanings of 'virginity' and the Virgin Ideal.

* What was the 'Word Cipher', Francis Bacon's 'greatest cipher'? How is it different from the Biliteral Cipher? * What was Bacon's overall Great Vision? * How do the Judeo-Christian mysteries -- arguably the foundation of our western civilization -- fit into this Great Vision? * How can we, today, apply this ancient knowledge to the 21st century? 
"A man doth vainly boast of loving God whom he never saw, if he love not his Brother whom he hath seen." As world-respected author Peter Dawkins states in the Preface to The Great Vision, these words quoted above, written by Francis Bacon, may summarise the real knowledge and driving force that is behind our dawning new Age. They also may summarise quite well the essence of the Christian revelation and teachings. Christianity is the name given to what is described in the New Testament or Covenant, which has to do with wholly loving one's neighbour as oneself. This New Testament or Covenant is founded on the Old Covenant, not superceding it, but completing it. The Old Covenant has to do with loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind and strength. Both Covenants or Laws existed from the beginning of time, but the so-called 'Old' Covenant is the first to be realised by man. But this is not enough: man must then realise and learn to keep the 'new' Covenant also, for if he loves not his fellow man (and all of life) then his love for God is not only incomplete, but misunderstood. Jesus came to demonstrate dramatically just what this New Covenant really means; others have followed his example ever since, Francis Bacon being an outstanding one. 
This book is about this Great Vision and it deals with some of the Christian Mysteries and with the Vision and Birth of Rosicrucianism, which is the name given esoterically to Francis Bacon's work and fellowship of true Christians. The first part of the book is devoted entirely to the Judaic-Christian Mysteries, while the second part addresses the life of Francis Bacon between the years of 1572-1579, when he was aged 11-18 years old, a key time in his life. Born a prince, but concealed and fostered, Francis Bacon was compelled to live a secret or 'masked' life. Yet in doing so, he acted out in his own life much of the Ancient Mysteries themselves, and used all this in a most ingenious way as a means to educate and initiate future generations -- including us, here and now, today.

The Great Vision: The Judaic-Christian Mysteries / The Vision and Birth of the New Rosicrucianism (The Life and Times of Francis Bacon, 1572-1579)

* What does the word 'Arcadia' really mean? * How do the Egyptian Mysteries fit into Francis Bacon's overall Great Vision? * What is the Hermetic Art of Alchemy? * How did the Elizabethan age 'voyages to the New World' relate to Francis Bacon? In Part I, this book introduces the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries and Hermeticism, and the landscape temple in which those alchemical Mysteries took place. It gives a rare insight into the greatness of Egypt and its influence on our western culture. In Part II, the story of Francis Bacon's amazing life story is continued (from 1579-1585), this time dealing with the secrets of Arcadia, the English Areopagus or 'brotherhood' of poet-initiates who largely created the English Renaissance, the founding of the first group of new (or Baconian) Rosicrucians in Arcadian Britain, and the secret beginnings of modern Freemasonry. A stage of his life when he was only 18-24 years old, Bacon set in motion the first stages of the vast Rosicrucian scheme for the eventual enlightenment, prosperity and peace of the world. This scheme, for which Bacon devised a special method to enable it to be carried out, was the dream of the Rosicrucian sages and their disciples since the golden days of Atlantis. This method, Bacon's famous Art of Discovery, is explained in this fascinating book, as is Arcadia, one of the primary mystery names given to the state of the world in a Golden Age. Four hundred years ago, Francis Bacon spelled out for the very first time, in scientific terms, the truth which the sages of all times have known and tried to teach the largely unsympathetic, uncomprehending world. The whole Arcadian imagery and allegory is that of a Utopia or Paradise on earth that might be achieved.....are we, now, living at the beginning of this long-awaited 'New Age' envisioned by Bacon? And if so, how will you and your life be affected or transformed?

BOOK DESCRIPTION * Who was Francis Bacon, a genius of modern times? * Why did he often use cyptic or 'secret' ways of communicating in his writings? * Was he also a Master of Hermetic Wisdom? If so, how do we know this? * Are we currently living in the beginning of Bacon's long-awaited 'New Age'? Francis Bacon, the acclaimed but hidden 'chief' who led the wits and poets in Elizabethan and Jacobean England during the period that saw some of the greatest masterpieces of English literature created, is now revealed. For the first time, readers will see his many dimensions, how Bacon deliberately followed the path of the ancients, using drama, certain codes and ciphers, to lead people to self-knowledge and enlightenment -- a New Age. Through special techniques, cryptic codes and ciphers, we learn more about the ancient wisdom embedded in his works and how we -- today -- may well be living on the cusp of the 'New Age' of enlightenment that Bacon envisioned long ago. Bacon and the Pursuit of truth: Bacon's work is founded on the perennial wisdom underlying the Bible. His work is known as THE SIX DAY'S WORK (of creation) guiding the seeker towards peace, prosperity and illumination based on love, understanding and service. Bacon and Enlightenment: This illumination or light is the wisdom of ages, synthesised from many sources into books, music, drama nad art by a group led by Sir Francis Bacon. Bacon and the Shakespeare plays These were written as working examples forming part of Bacon's method for the discovery of truth. Bacon and Discovery: In this book, author and readers work together to explore the 'treasure trail' of clues that Bacon and his Rosicrucian group left in order that we, too, may learn, practice and develop the work even further, in the early 21st century.
