The Secret Learning
By Ray Drayton
"This book is completely different from his other books. It contains all the genres I’m drawn to in this one book, from war, gripping murdeous plots, keeping secrets of the ancient world, romance and mystery.
I wish I had read this book before I went to Greece and the Greek Islands. The knowledge I’ve gained from this well researched novel would have prepared me for the feeling I felt when I was there.
I truly felt this book Ray, it’s really opened my mind to the possibilities that there is much more to learn about the Ancient World."
Synopsis:
‘The journey is the thing.’
Homer – Greek poet and philosopher. 800 BCE – 701 BC.
Homer is best known as author of ‘The Iliad’ and ‘The Odyssey.’
He was believed by the ancient Greeks as the first and greatest of the Epic Poets.
From the legendary Trojan Wars to World War Two, the Grecian Cyclades have been subjected to human conflict throughout history. The Aegean Sea and the Islands of Greece are deemed by many Academia to be the birth place of humanity. The cradle where life as we know it, began.
The Secret Learning brings the Gods and Ancient Civilisations to life amidst present day circumstances including secret links to philosophy and mythology of the Ancient World…
Professor Jonathan Westlake dares to question Christian teachings on Theology of mankind’s pathway to evolution. He begs the question. Had the Secret Teachings of the Ancients which were intended for the benefit of human evolution, purposely withheld by those in power. Was mankind doomed to ultimate destruction due to ignorance on its pathway to Armageddon?
Were the Gods of Greek and Roman Theology actually Gods on a higher plane of consciousness or were they merely mortals possessing illuminated minds?
Throughout history there have been those with access to The Secret Learning who jealously guarded their knowledge – knowledge only shared by a privileged few…
‘The black abyss claims his body eagerly. The Monk who had been living in total isolation high above the monastery and the Aegean Sea prays desperately that he will fall into the ocean far below in the darkness.
The great architect of the Universe appears impervious to his silent screams.
The very last thought the Monk has when his body makes violent contact with the sheer rock face, is his fractured skull will not be capable of containing the sacred wine during ritual cleansing. An ancient practice performed when his body is exhumed three years after burial by the Monastery Monks of Dionysiou.
A warm sensation of peace precludes his soul emerging into bright light full of warmth and love. He is in a place where there are no secrets withheld, only timeless wisdom born of eternity.
The great architect of this Universe and countless other Universes has indeed heard his silent screams across the endless expanse of timeless realities…’
