Symbology

The historical, doctrinal, ritual, and folk aspects of Lamaism are surveyed extensively in this source book, originally published in 1895. Waddell was an almost unique authority on hidden Tibet. Stationed for years with the Indian Army at Darjeeling, just over the border from Tibet (which Europeans were forbidden to enter), he systematically studied the language and culture of Tibet with the most authoritative lamaistic scholars. Several times he risked his life by entering Tibet in disguise.

Forgotten Rainbows and Forgotten Melodies of Ancient Wisdom - The intention of this book is to reveal, among several other metaphysical codes, a key to wisdom previously comprehended by only a few initiated Masters, a secret hidden for centuries "in plain sight" (the safest place to hide the sacred) and unsuspected by the mundane intellect, long blinded to the simplicity of truth.

Mu, the Motherland, a lost culture which was the center of civilization some 25,000 years ago. A vanished continent which sent Colonel James Churchward on a lifetime's search, from the vaults of an Indian temple to Australia, from Siberia to the South Seas.

Churchward examines the origin and original meanings of the world's religious symbols and their common source -the ancient Continent of Mu, Mu, the Motherland, whose legacy is displayed in the underlying unity of religious symbology shared by all later civilizations (ancient, vanished and current).

The invention of the Alphabet is generally admitted to be one of the very greatest scientific human achievements. It enables civilized men by an easy system of some twenty four or so sound-sings or letter to rapidly express and register their thoughts and speak through time and space, conduct their everyday business by registers and correspondence, and chronicle their experience for the use of future generations by permanent records.
