The Zarkon Principle: Can Man Become a God?Published by Everest Books Ltd., 4 Valentine Place, London First Edition 1974
One of the most magical and mysterious books I remember reading as a boy was 'The Zarkon Principle' . Each chapter is introduced with a beautiful quote or literary reference, such as William Blake's - Auguries of Innocence;
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
In it, the enigmatic author 'Zarkon' explores and explains, with seeming authority, some of the legends and mysteries which have puzzled mankind throughout its history. He studies the history of ALCHEMY, FREEMASONRY, AND THEOSOPHY. Looks at THE PYRAMIDS AND STONEHENGE. Examines the lives of JESUS CHRIST, ALEISTER CROWLEY, AND ADOLPH HITLER. ASKS THE QUESTION: HOW MANY YEARS HAS MANKIND TO GO? and comes up with a grimly convincing answer. The book is written and set out in such a clear and intelligent way that you feel completely absorbed throughout and that you're privy to a unique insight into a secret world.
This is my tribute to 'The Zarkon Principle'; a must for mystery and sci-fi enthusiasts alike and a truly original classic read from my past.
