Free Ebook Offer: The Story of America: Discovery - Article 2
Just think. If the Vikings had made just that little extra effort to stay on in America when they first arrived just over 1000 years ago then the modern history of not only North America but the whole continent might have started 500 years earlier in 992AD rather than 1492AD.And that would have meant there would be an extra 500 years of this enthalling history to read; and an extra 500 years of the American dream to follow.They couldn't have been too far from staying - after all they had already started permanent settlements on both Iceland and Greenland and surely North America must have seemed a pretty attractive proposition compared to either of those cold, inhospitable, barren lands.Even their own records, their sagas, are full of vivid descriptions of the amazing landscapes across what is nowadays New England, with the sandy beaches, wooded hills and fast-flowing torrents; not to mention the plentiful supplies of salmon, game and wild grapes and the endless forests of timber. And don't forget these were the very same tough, formidable warriors who had already conquered much of England, Ireland and northern France. They were certainly no weaklings!No, something must have put them off big time, because although both their sagas and modern archaeology confirm that they definitely DID reach North America, by 1002AD, a mere 10 years after their first sighting of the previously unknown land, they had loaded their longships with their possesions and livestock and headed back to Greenland for the last time.Surely the distance didn't put them off, and the climate would have been much kinder than they were accustomed too in Greenland, Iceland or their native Scandinavia, and we know they had plenty of food and resources.No, it must have been the Skraelings (the Viking name for the natives - meaning savages) who ended their dream. The very same AmerIndians who were to give the English settlers such a torrid time over 600 years later and who all but spelt the end of English colonization of North America too. It was the Skraelings who forced them to retreat and even put them off any further attempts to return to the great lands to the west.The Vikings were just too few in numbers and too unprepared to tackle such a ferocious onslaught. They retreated wisely, reasoning that they would be better off as live Vikngs on freezing Greenland than dead Vikings in warm and pleasant America.Things might have been different, but then..... .This excerpt is from Discovery - The Story of America by Anthony Treasure.

Amazing Holy Grail Discovery – Book-Reviews
Amazing Holy Grail Discovery
In a profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, best-selling UK author Philip Gardiner shakes the foundations of modern belief by at last revealing the true origins of The Holy Grail, Elixir of Life and Philosopher's Stone. Shrouded in mystery, these highly enigmatic symbols have long been revered and The Serpent Grail proves, without doubt, that all three are inextricably linked, originating from the same ancient source.For many of us, these three mysterious objects derive from Arthurian legend, or the curious work of the medieval alchemists, but this book reveals that they date back from a much earlier period ? from the dawn of human history itself.Basing his findings on a wealth of detailed research and his own unique marketing and propaganda based background, Gardiner's own quest has been something of an adventure and his book presents plausible and fascinating new evidence about the foundations of religious belief and how over the centuries information has been deliberately and systematically distorted.
In an argument with enormous implications, Gardiner identifies key facts which link all three symbols to the same ancient cult ? a cult which believed that the mythical serpent was, a 'beneficent life force' and its physical counterpart, the snake, an irreverent provider of the 'elixir of life'. In The Serpent Grail Gardiner proves that modern science and ancient wisdom can and have come together to finally prove that snake venom and blood was used thousands of years ago as the Elixir of Life and was brought together in the arcane "mixing bowl" which became known as the Holy Grail.
The Serpent Grail is a gripping read, a work based on a lifetime of research that provides the indisputable fact that, The Holy Grail, Elixir of Life and Philosopher's Stone are one and the same, in that they are all metaphors for spiritual enlightenment. This book takes the reader on a fascinating exploration of ancient myth, archaeology, etymology, religion, science, and much, much more.The Serpent Grail is published by Watkins on 15th September 2005, Hardback priced UK
A New Discovery Of An Old Secret
A New Discovery Of An Old Secret
Some years ago, when the world seemed to close in on me and I felt as
though I was trapped between the sword and the wall, I made an exciting
discovery. Actually, it was a phenomenon that was as old as dirt but it
took on significant meanings for me because it freed me from all my
problems and all the stresses and pressures that were being imposed upon
me.I discovered that there is only one simple root cause of all problems.
When this primal cause becomes known, understood and properly applied, all
problems disappear like snowflakes on a hot griddle. In fact this
discovery launched me on a life-long career as a professional problem
solver for a widely diverse personal, professional and corporate client
base that included many of the giants of American business.I had discovered the law of opposites.Take just a minute and think about the world you live in. Have you ever
noticed how everything you're involved in is comprised of opposites?
Opposites abound everywhere and in every situation. Webster has many
definitions for opposites but they are best summed up in the one where he
defines opposites as "elements that are so far apart as to be totally
irreconcilable".For example, we have such irreconcilable opposites as up and down, left
and right, short and tall, light and dark, assets and liabilities,
success and failure, freedom and bondage and on and on and on. I doubt
that you think of anything that does not have an implied oppositeThink about it: We live in a world of division. We live in a world where
"twoness" prevails; a world of duality where very position, situation and
condition is challenged by some alternative where one side is always
pulling against another or pushing up against a wall that will not yield.This is living in a world that is perfectly designed to promote struggle,
turmoil, conflict, confusion, disputes and disagreements. This law of
opposites is the cause of all problems. Without knowing how to control or
overcome this law of opposites, people try to adapt to it without
realizing that by so doing they only succeed in increasing their
frustrations and prolonging any solution. Is it any wonder that so many
people are suffering such pressures, stresses and anxieties!If these people could somehow prevent this law from operating in their
individual experiences they could enjoy living is a world where oneness
prevailed and those things we call problems would have no influence over
them.This might be best illustrated by using such familiar opposites as
positive and negative. Positives and negatives are opposites and have
nothing in common. They cannot mix or commingle. Neither can one be
described in term of the other. Try as you might, you cannot successfully
justify one to the other. They are opposites. It is the law!A problem is defined by Webster as "an intricate, unsettled question
without an answer; a source of perplexity and vexation". By their very
nature, problems are negative. Webster defines "negative" as "something
that is the opposite, or negation, of something". That "something" is the
positiveness of the problem's solution. Webster's definition of
"positive" is "that which is real, not speculative, not fictitious and
logically affirmative; that which has actual existence".Just as a negative has absolutely no positive characteristics, so a
positive has absolutely no negative characteristics. They are opposites.
It is the law! And because it is an absolute, universal law it is not
subject to chance, change, modification, circumvention or debate. It
maintains its own integrity, is self- enforcing and works simply because
it exists?forever! When properly applied it is your absolute assurance of
successful conclusions.The problem is negative and unreal. The objective is positive and real.
Logic, then, demands that in order to experience your goal or objective or
receive the answer to your question, you must discipline yourself to
maintain a mind-set that is responsive to the positive ideas that will
dissolve your negative problems.This is probably the most demanding discipline you will ever be faced with
because we've been trained to accept both positives and negatives as
real. From this premise, we attempt to solve a problem by confronting
it as an adversary with which we are compelled to do battle. We try to
"understand" it and "deal" with it as though it were a reality instead of
simply being a negation of that which we are seeking.Does all this sound too abstract to be practical in what we call the
"real" world of nuts and bolts? While individual circumstances will vary,
the procedural application of this law is always the same.
( See my article "Taking the Problem Out of Problem Solving")
Consider this case study: Static sale plagued a company and great effort
and money was invested to find some means by which they could increase the
sales volume of their product. Their best efforts failed and they
resigned themselves to the conviction that the market was flooded to the
point of saturation and nothing further could be done. They were prepared
to "eat their losses" and move on.Then the principles embodied in this discovery were initiated by one
individual who, in the secrecy of his own thought, maintained the
integrity of this positive, constructive, solution oriented approach. He
mentally rejected all discussions that focused on the "problem" even
though circumstances required that he be involved in them. Soon a plan
began developing in his thought. Every detail of a brand new
merchandising procedure unfolded that was a radical departure from all
traditional methods. The plan was implemented and sales increased
immediately to a level that far exceeded the company's most optimistic
projections. As an added bonus, the implementation of this plan did not
require any additional capital expenditures.This confirms Victor Hugo's statement that, "there is nothing more
powerful than the right idea whose time has come".The sales "problem" simply disappeared. Why? Because, being an unreal
negation, it never did have the substance or reality of its positive
opposite. Where did the problem go? It went to the same place the flat
world went as soon as Columbus discovered that it was really round. It
didn't "go" anywhere because it wasn't a real "something" to begin with!Details of this discovery are fully outlined in a logical continuity of
demonstrable natural laws and principles in my latest book "The DYNAMICS
of ACHIEVEMENT".For more than 40 years Davis Goss has been a creative consultant with
