Tim has written of book of enormously valuable hidden spiritual knowledge. I urge you to readthis revelatory book now!

After taking several trips to numerous bookstores and finding 'Hidden Wisdom- Secrets of the Western Esoteric Tradition' sold out, I was finally able to obtain a copy of this magnificent work by the internationally bestselling author and noted lecturer Tim Wallace-Murphy. I have followed Mr. Murphy's work since I came into a copy of his work entitled, 'The Templar Legacy & the Masonic Inheritance within Rosslyn Chapel'. Since that time, I have read all of his works including, 'Rosslyn- Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail', 'The Knights of the Holy Grail: The Secret History of the Knights Templar', and 'The Enigma of the Freemasons- Their History and Mystical Connections' just to name a few.... all of which being fantastic books.This piece will please readers and holds up to the greatness of his other masterful works. This energetic and industrious book charts through history from time immemorial to the present-day, the rich history of wisdom traditions, secret societies such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians, and other esoteric streams of knowledge. Mr. Murphy weaves this complex material together in a chronological and easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format. It is a work in which the reader will find themselves having trouble putting it down because of the interesting and intriguing subjects ranging from Neolithic spirituality, Egyptian and Greek Mysteries, Hebrew esoteric traditions, the Grail Quest, and a wide plethora of other stimulating topics.The reader will be truly engrossed and hynotized into the thought and care put into this inspired work and will note the compassion and genuine concern that Mr. Murphy has for humanity. He offers healthy and effective alternatives to the ills facing civilization and calls for "a commitment to the principles of justice and truth which regulate relationships between all humanity". I would strongly, strongly recommend this superb work to any and all students of spirituality, esoteric traditions, and history enthusiasts, and those who are on a path to enlightenment. Truly, a work to be enjoyed by all readers.

The secrets in "Hidden Wisdom" have been in the religious teachings of many religions, hidden by parables, politics of the times they were written, and even before. This book is the best I've read, full of Truth, and recommend to all who seek the Truth.Tim Wallace Murphy has outdone himself.
