Book Description

Written in clear language that makes the cutting-edge science of quarks, neutrinos, wormholes, and metaverses accessible to the layman, The Last Three Minutes treats readers to a wide range of conjectures about the ultimate fate of the universe. Along the way, it takes the occasional divergent path to discuss some slightly less cataclysmic topics such as galactic colonization, what would happen if the Earth were struck by the comet Swift-Tuttle (a distinct possibility), the effects of falling in a black hole, and how to create a "baby universe." Wonderfully morbid to the core, this is one of the most original science books to come along in years.

It was not surprising to me to see his name on the Science Masters Series. The series has basic introductions to many of the key issues in science today -- evolution, origins of life, cognitive science, time, computer science, and more. Each volume is relatively short -- 'The Last Three Minutes' has a mere 150 pages of text that is not too dense, sparing technically and mathematically without losing much conceptually.

The issue of the end of the universe is one of the 'hot spots' of astrophysics and cosmology, and so there are elements of this book that are already a bit out of date, despite being less than a decade old. However, given the speculative nature of many 'discoveries' in this field, it is impossible to say if anything is truly out of date or false at the present time.

Davies explores the end of the universe by setting the stage -- drawing from current thinking about the origins of the universe, in fact one of the options for conjecture, in a closed universe system, would be that the last three minutes would resemble quite closely the first three minutes. Davies looks at the various processes -- stellar evolution and decay, gravitational issues, overall radiation depletion, energy-fuel consumption -- and draws these together for the various theories about the end of the universe.

Davies shows the ideas of the closed/collapsing universe (a view not widely held today) and of the infinitely expanding universe (the current reigning theory), giving ideas about the variables required to tip the scales in one direction or the other. Even with an infinitely expanding universe, however, all is not necessarily well with the world -- the universe runs the risk (in the future so distant there is no realistic way of expressing it in terms of time we know) of becoming a dark, deep freeze with no activity left, and all matter becoming inert and inactive in every respect.

Davies speculates on what this means for the survival of humanity and human history -- how can information be preserved? How can our species go on in the face of this? Such speculation is pure conjecture; the time distances are so far removed that nothing we devise will likely come close to resembling an actual answer to this. However, it is interesting as a mental exercise, and leads the reader hopefully to further reading.

Book Description

Freemason ... Shaman ... Prophet ... Seducer ... Swindler ... Thief ... Heretic

Who was the mysterious Count Cagliostro?

Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer or a dangerous charlatan. Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths -- and often swords -- with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's Magic Flute and Goethe's Faust. Louis XVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as "the affair of the necklace." Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established "healing clinics" for the poorest of the poor, and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe.

Also the leader of an exotic brand of Freemasonry, Count Cagliostro was indisputably one of the most influential and notorious figures of the latter eighteenth century, overcoming poverty and an ignoble birth to become the darling -- and bane -- of upper-crust Europe.

And Unreason.......2005-04-26

Anti-Masonry and Masonic charlatans.......2004-05-26

Professor McCalman is a historian who delights in literary form. In his paper "Cultural History and Cultural Studies: the Linguistic Turn Five Years On" Iain McCalman tells us "Ever since a boy I have always believed intensely in the 'storyness' of life. Our world is suffused with stories. Consciously or not we use them continually to make sense of the mass of incoherent facts and sensations that immerse us."
This shows in his book "The Last Alchemist". Indeed by the fourth page of his introduction he has wasted no time to paint for us with a vivid brush of words:

"The Ballaro market that abuts Cagliostro's birthplace looks, feels, and smells like a casbah. It reminded me of parts of Cairo or even of Zanzibar: frying peanut oil, saffron, cloves, garlic, and rotting garbage. The flagstones are streaked with dust blown from North African deserts or smeared with slops tossed from windows and balconies. You have to step carefully because the tenements cast deep shadows. The paint on most of the buildings is covered in fungal-like stains. Bits of iron hold up the door frame; washing flaps on rigging strung between the houses."

The tone set and our attention grabbed, McCalman does not disappoint and continues to draw us into a very different time when a newborn Age of Reason battled with the institutions that had dominated Humanity since its beginning. A world where a common flimflam man can rise up from the gutter, lie and steal his way to prominence, and before his death help change history itself.

Which brings us to the subject of this book, one Guiseppe Balsamo who in the process of altering the history of Europe also contributed heavily to the burden still carried by the Freemasons of our modern time. That he was able to do so, we learn from McCalman, is due to a youthful mastery of chemistry and religious symbology, an intervening period of roguery and flimflam, and the social contacts earned from a job he talked his way into with the Knights Hospitalier of Saint John. McCalman runs us quickly through this period but with the benefit of his scholarship and passionate writing style we are led to understand this formative period of the man the world would later come to know as Count Cagliostro.

How does all this relate to modern Freemasonry? In a direct sense it does not relate at all - today's Masons will not find much modern Freemasonry as they read McCalman's accounts of how different Masonic lodges in different part of Europe embraced Cagliostro while repeatedly suspending their better judgements. As with all con-men Cagliostro simply plays on their greed, lust, and other flaws. Most Masons of this time were learned and successful men, interested mainly in an education and social activity unburdened by the official and social oppression of states and churches. And of course that time was no different than ours where all organizations have fringe groups. The fringe Masons of that time wanted power, were superstitious, and yearned for spiritual satisfaction through the occult. Few of them consciously considered anything they were doing was wrong or evil; most convinced themselves they were serving God.

As we read between the lines of McCalman's wonderful storytelling we begin to get a feel for what worried the governments and churches of the time. And of course what continues to concern anti-Masons to this day. Freemasonry was in fact widely used to mask the actions of men intent on founding democracies and/or societies free of tyranny in any form. The absolute rulers of that time, from Catherine of Russia to the Louis XVI of France to Pope Pious VI, all employed legions of spies and secret police to suppress that activity. Those few Masons who appealed to the occult were committing double crimes and providing an easy noose to the enforcers. Those Masons who worked more nobly for more honorable reasons succeeded in their founding of the Great Experiment that was America and their contributions were indeed observable in the replacement of Europe's aristacracies with modern democracies - those Masons we do not encounter in Cagliostro's story and indeed it is fair to assume the Count would have done his utmost to stay away from such people.

Through all these interwoven stories Iain McCalman does a masterful job gleaning from the newspaper articles, the legal papers, even the diaries and journals of the players of the time to engage us, to show us how otherwise rational men and women were easy fodder for Guiseppe Balsamo and other rogues like him. MaCalman's narration of the Affair of the Necklace, the final straw that brought on the French Revolution, reads like a fine mystery and so is particularly gripping and educational. The professor's declared fascination with Balsamo/Cagliostro is genuine and its influence on his writing clearly obvious. The Antiquarian Mason highly recommends this book to Masons and non-Masons alike.

Count Cagliostro... a man of passion or a con artist.......2004-05-19

Was the Count a man of passion and love who gave his all to the weak and unfortunate, or was he simply a con artist who thrived on glory, fame, money and power???

Ultimately, it is for the reader to decide what kind of a man the Count really was. Maybe he had no choice and simply became what his destiny called for him to be.

Whatever he was, the man was loved and loathed all at the same time. With each "miracle and healing" performed, his status grew and grew, among the locals, to dizzying heights. With each level of status attained, his enemies, full of jealousy, plotted and patiently awaited their chance for revenge.

The Last Alchemist comes in a very easy to read format. The illustrations are quite good and gives insight to the person being talked about.

Give it a chance and learn all about the man who was the "Robin Hood" and "Prince John" combined of two centuries past.

I recommend it.

WILL THE REAL CAGLIOSTRO STAND UP!.......2004-05-19

This just about sums up an intriguing historical novel pertaining to one of the most charismatic and interesting characters of the late 18th century, Giuseppe Balzamo or better known as, Count Alessandro di Cagliostro.
No doubt, after reading this unbelievable biography, I would have to ask, would the real Cagliostro stand up?
This gentleman certainly seemed to have extraordinary mystical and even cabalistic powers, although at times, they may have been somewhat diabolic.
Even after his death there were many stories about him that perhaps stretched one's imagination but nevertheless were quite entertaining.

Written in narrative format, McCalman explores the many facets of Cagliostro's life and his escapades as a freemason, necromancer, shaman, Copt, prophet, rejuvenator, and finally a heretic.
In fact, such a fascinating character was he that a kind of cult of Cagliostro swept Paris, or as the author termed it, "Cagliostromania."

We learn of his belief in Egyptian Freemasonry, which we are not quite sure if it actually existed or was a figment of his imagination. Nonetheless, it did open up for him many doors to the royal courts of Europe, for it entailed science, religion and magic, all of great interest during the Age of Reason.

Traveling with Cagliostro and his wife Seraphina throughout their world travels, we can't help being captivated with his uncanny ability to meet up with such figures as Casanova, or his implication in such notorious events as the Diamond Necklace affair in France involving Marie Antoinette, Cardinal deRohan and Countess de Lamotte. Apparently, the Countess swindled 1.6 million francs for a necklace for Marie Antoinette and then accused Cagliostro for stealing it. As a result, Cagliostro was sent to the Bastille, tried for fraud, and eventually exonerated and banished from France.

We are also enamored by Cagliostro's sympathy for the poor or the "petit people," who adored him, while he spent his life among them as well as the sick, distributing remedies free of charge and paying out of his own pocket for soup.

In Italy his reputation as a healer attracted crowds, who besieged him in carriages, in chairs or stretchers,"
However, it was also here where the church imprisoned him after his wife, who was fed up with his shenanigans, denounced him to the Inquisition as a heretic, magician, conjuror and Freemason. This led to a trial, where he was found guilty and sentenced to death. However, the Pope subsequently commuted his sentence to life imprisonment in the fortress of San Leo in the Apennines, where he died.

The eloquent writing of The Last Alchemist Count Cagliostro, Master Of Magic In The Age Of Reason is a fascinating endeavor taking our curiosities to new levels, and even the most skeptical readers will want this one on their bookshelves.

A superb biography and fun reading........2004-04-27

The Last Alchemist: Count Cagliostro, Master of Magic in the Age of Reason by Iain McCalman is a remarkable biography of what amounted to a world class con-artist. What makes him such an enigmatic individual is the fact that he was not simply a sociopath, but exhibited a compassion for the poor that endeared him to many. From the point of view of history, as I've often said before, one often learns more from fringe figures and marginal places about periods in history than one does from those on center stage. The story of Count Cagliostro confirms once again that belief.

Although the author, and in fact many of the Count's contemporaries, credit him with "causing" the French Revolution and other disastrous events, I would say that he was more a symptom of the times than the cause of their events. This is in fact the stance of at least one of the author's sources as well.

The world of the 18th Century was one of transition (although one could plausibly argue that this is true of every age!). The highly centralized, aristocratic and tyrannical political systems of the time were gradually being confronted with issues and intellectual concepts with which they were unprepared to deal. The Catholic church, the other major political player, had been playing a losing game with science, intellectualism, and protestantism for well over two centuries, and had retreated to the old stand by of incarcerating its enemies when they presented the opportunity. The arbitrary abuse of individual rights, the desperate poverty of the bulk of the European population, the marginal existence that was reality for even the middle class in times of economic down turn, made it obvious that changes were well overdue. This was the age of the philosophers of the American and French revolutions, of Paine, Voltaire, Hume, Rousseau and others whose literary support of human rights and of elected self government created a foment of intellectual unrest that ultimately produced much of what we consider to be the "modern" way of life.

The selfish, greedy and often foolish individuals in positions of power and privilege made ready targets for someone of the Count's talent and predilections. It is no accident that this was also the period of Casanova and Jeane de Mott, and other major imposters. Concerned only with personal vanity, accumulation of wealth and power, in short with the status quo at all levels, the wealthy of Europe were easy prey for someone with promises of physical youth and increased sexual prowess, with unlimited wealth and personal power, and with immortality. If it had not been so tragic in other ways, the tales of some of these people and their encounters with the Count would have made wonderful comedy. It is no wonder that the Count and his exploits provided creative people with plots for opera and story-both Mozart's Die Zauberflote (the Magic Flute) and Goethe's Fauste were based on the Count's exploits.

Born Giuseppe Balsamo in Palermo, Sicily the self-styled Count Alessandro de Cagliostro, aka Colonel Joseph Pellegrini, was no stranger to the abject poverty of some of the poorer people he helped treat as a healer. He grew tough and morally elastic surviving a childhood in the competitive environment of Italy. His fortune was made when his mother's family attempted to educate him and prepare him for a life dedicated to the church. Obviously bright, a quick learner, artistically gifted, and probably the possessor of a photographic memory, Giuseppe turned his hand to preying on the wealthy by appealing to their greed since it provided him with a lifestyle as affluent as that of his "clients."

What I found most interesting was the man's ability to land on his feet with almost every set back. The story of his legal fight with Jeane De Mott over the Diamond Necklace affair was amazing. I also found the rapidity with which his reputation as a mountbank caught up with him surprising. One would have thought that in an age innocent of telegraphy, the telephone, radio, television, airplanes, computers and the like, that such an individual could disappear by simply changing his name or even by simply moving. It seemed that this was not the case, and even at this time, those who wanted to know more about the man could "dig up the dirt" with a little guesswork and research! Part of this was no doubt the fact that the man traveled in a rarified society, that of the very wealthy and influential. This class of people was very small and often known to one another, even occasionally related to one another, which made knowledge of the man's previous activities easier to transmit from one venue to another.

An amazing book.

For THOSE WRITING PAPERS: in history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, speech/communications, philosophy, political science, church history. Did this man play a pivotal part in the revolutions that swept through Europe during the latter part of his life? When he predicted the fall of the French throne, do you think he was politically astute, psychic, just vindictive? How did this man reflect his society? What social situations lead to the formation of many such individuals of this type? What personal characteristics did the man have that made him more successful than many others? What social situations during the period produced personalities of this type? Would the Count have been just as sociopathic even had the social environment been different? Why did so many people, like Seraphina, ultimately go along with his plans? What changes if any did the treatment of the Count during the last months of his life bring about in the Catholic church? What types of persuasion techniques did the Count use to influence his targets? Are some of these same techniques used successfully today on us? Who uses them? Why do we still fall for them?

Book Description

Peter Deunov (also known as Beinsa Douno), is a teacher of Esoteric Christianity, who lived and taught in Bulgaria during the first half of the 20th century. His knowledge, character, and powers, all mark him as a rare messenger of Divine Reality. He had a very large following when he passed on, but his teaching was suppressed by the Communist regime. In recent years, this teaching, and its associated spiritual practices, have begun to bloom again, as the Bulgarians enjoy a greater degree of freedom. This teaching covers all aspects of life, with a special emphasis on music, spiritual dance (Paneurhythmy), and communion with God in Nature.

This second edition includes a rare color photograph of Peter Deunov, as well as other photographs and illustrations, covering various sacred places and spiritual practices described in the book.
