The legendary Knights Templar were a military, monastic order with their main centre at Bernard de Clairvaux in the east of France, and with Jerusalem as an important pole. For some centuries the Knights Templar had an amazing cultural and large-scale financial influence in Europe. It is believed that they had attained a special knowledge of biblical and ancient oriental traditions, from Egypt - and from Moses. However, they suddenly disappeared from history. Later, parts of the old tradition were observed still to be in existence inside other societies and brotherhoods.

Secret Knowledge and Mysteries of Antiquity: Form the earliest times existed different kinds of secret knowledge and cultic mysteries - for instance initiation, cultic-religious mystery plays, and stellar science. All this was available in the ancient civilized societies, e.g. in Egypt. Even today certain forms can be seen in action among primitive people around the world. At ancient times also knowledge and science seem to have been handed down, thus giving their owners a special power. By confident tradition and mythic metaphors, secret knowledge was handed down through Antiquity into newer ages. In official religion-history contexts these cults and the often high-ranking members of their societies are mostly considered as exotic, collateral branches, although they had a decisive, genuine importance in history.

When Moses and the Israelites left Egypt, in 1455 BC, Moses had the temples plundered, according to Manetho, the Greek-Egyptian historian (approx. 280 BC). The temple archives, abducted by Moses at that time, have contained knowledge and data of which the Europeans, several thousand years later, still wanted to get some insight. Later, this became a special incentive to exploring expeditions - so ardently occupying Knights Templar during the time of Crusades as well as today’s archaeologists. At an early age Moses was initiated in the knowledge of the ancient Egyptian mystery cults. Later, influenced by Greek culture, they were maintained during the times of Alexandria’s glory, approx. 330 BC till 330 AD Knowledge from several religions, e.g. the Gnostics, were used by many cults...

IS IT POSSIBLE that a man can achieve immortality - to live forever? That is the startling claim of a historical figure known as Count de Saint-Germain. Records date his birth to the late 1600s, although some believe that his longevity reaches back to the time of Christ. He has appeared many times throughout history - even as recently as the 1970s - always appearing to be about 45 years old. He was known by many of the most famous figures of European history, including Casanova, Madame de Pampadour, Voltaire, King Louis XV, Catherine the Great, Anton Mesmer and others.Who was this mysterious man? Are the stories of his immortality mere legend and folklore? Or is it possible that he really did discover the secret of defeating death?ORIGINSWhen the man who first became known as Saint-Germain was born is unknown, although most accounts say he was born in the 1690s. A genealogy compiled by Annie Besant for her co-authored book, The Comte De St. Germain: The Secret of Kings, asserts that he was born the son of Francis Racoczi II, Prince of Transylvania in 1690. Other accounts, taken less seriously by most, say he was alive in the time of Jesus and attended the wedding at Cana, where the young Jesus turned water into wine. He was also said to be present at the council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.What is almost unanimously agreed on, however, is that Saint-Germain became accomplished in the art of alchemy, the mystical "science" that strives to control the elements. The foremost goal of this practice was the creation of "projection powder" or the elusive "philosopher's stone," which, it was claimed, when added to the molten form of such base metals as lead could turn them into pure silver or gold. Furthermore, this magical power could be used in an elixir that would impart immortality on those who drank it. Count de Saint-Germain, it is believed, discovered this secret of alchemy.COURTING EUROPEAN SOCIETYSaint-Germain first came into prominence in the high society of Europe in 1742. He had just spent five years in the shah of Persia's court where he had learned the jeweler's craft. He beguiled the royals and the rich with his vast.

Anthony North: Foretelling the future is one of the trickiest areas of the paranormal. Within known theorizing, there is very little of a concrete nature that can suggest it is possible. Hence, much skepticism is placed on the subject. For my own research, I"ve looked at the idea that possible future outcomes can be gleaned by unconscious knowledge and intuitions in the present. However, I won"t bore the reader by going over these "mechanisms" again. I want to look further than that.: For whilst I still accept most cases of precognition and divination can be answered in the present, I also think a hypothesis is possible regarding a real ability to foretell the future. I don"toffer this as a definite concept that can be understood by science at this time.

Rather, I want to explore the possibility philosophically. And it begins with asking: what is "now"? "now" cannot be experienced.: What we think of as "now" is the point in time when information from the universe is synchronously received by our senses. We, as "observers", are passive. And be it sound, light, or any other force in the universe, it takes time to reach us. Hence, depending on distance, all our observations come from different times in the past. This is most apparent with lightning, which produces sound and light at the same moment, but we receive one before the other. Some stars we only observe after traveling for billions of years. Entropy holds similar problems.: This is the decay, as timeprogresses, of everything in the universe. Yet our appreciation of entropy could be faulty, in that we view it in terms of individuality. For instance, if we think of our genetic code, this continues for much longer than ourselves. We think of decay of the planetary environment, but in the universal scheme of things, this could be no more important than the almost unnoticed decay and replacement of cells in the body. Basically, our appreciation of entropy could be a local event. We view existence, in the west, in terms of the "linear".

For most of us, the arrival of 29 February means one extra day at work, another day on the mortgage and 24 hours' delay in the arrival of the pay cheque. No wonder a leap year is universally regarded as unlucky.This is particularly the case for those unfortunates who can only celebrate their real birthday once every four years. For some reason, musicians tend to be born on 29 February – they include Rossini, the late avant-garde trombonist Paul Rutherford and the rap artist Jah Rule – but the most eminent UK leap-year baby is Joss Ackland, who will be 20 next Friday, though he has been on this Earth for 80 years.Only in America is any attempt made to redress this grossinjustice.

Tomorrow, leap-year babies will be "honoured guests" at the Sixth Worldwide Leap Year Festival at Anthony, New Mexico. Celebrations are to include a chuckwagon breakfast, hot-air balloon rides and a huge birthday cake ("These people have been waiting for four years!"). At the Fourth Worldwide Leap Year Festival in 2000, musical entertainment was provided by Graham Nash, whose wife Susan is a leap-year baby, but he has not reappeared. Maybe once every four years is a little too frequent to hear Nash's maudlin hit "Teach Your Children". But why do we need this calendrical hiccup every four years? What, exactly, is the point of it? "The leap year is basically down to humans trying to make sense of natural rhythms," explains David Rooney, curator of time keeping at the Royal Observatory. "If you're trying torun a calendar by the natural cycles of the Sun and the Moon, it doesn't work and you have to intervene. The technical term for this intervention is 'fudge factor'. The leap year is a fudge." The ancient Egyptians recognised that the world does not revolve round the Sun every 365 days, but almost a quarter of the day more. The fact that this little bit extra is a smidgeon less than six hours – the Gregorian calendar year is 365 days, five hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds – has, as we shall see, led to much tinkering over the millennia. Moreover, the natural year is changing in length due to predictable factors, such as changing orbit and gravitational drag, and the unpredictable effect of the Earth's liquid core hitting subterranean mountain ranges and ravines.
