One of the more fascinating books I've seen in years. It's purported to be a collection of ancient texts brought to England by Joseph of Arimithea, after the Crucifiction, and housed in Glastonbury Abbey, until an arson attempt (by the "Church") made it unsafe to do so.
The "Voice of God", "The Book of Creation", and "Jesus 1" and "Jesus 2" are my favorites so far.
In the Book of Creation, it states that we've had 2 catastrophe's. One that preceded the Great Flood, and the Flood itself. The one before the Flood was caused by a comet or meteor and resulted in us losing one of our 2 moons.
Here is a quote from "The Voice of God" (Chapter 15 from the Book of Gleanings")
"My desire is for love rather than futile sacrifices of burnt offerings, but it should not be a passive love but one expressing service in My Cause. A certain knowledge of right and wrong, with free choice of the former, is of greater value in My sight than pointless ritualistic worship. I derive no pleasure from the wasteful shedding of blood from bulls and lambs. I gain nothing from the fat of sheep and the flesh of goats. I am the Creator of All, so what can men give that would increase My greatness? Men are misled if they believe that their sins can be purged by vain rituals. Only active goodness can obliterate the stain of sin".
"Men approach Me in fear, they come to me with servility. They beg forgiveness for their sins and request My help in worldly matters. To sing My praises is their excuse for coming into places made sacred unto Me, but they come wanting something, be it only reassurance. With this attitude towards Me, do you wonder that I remain mute before their pleas? Bring Me no more vain offerings of flesh and blood, for such wastefulness of life is an offence to the God of Life. What benefit do I derive from all your feasts or festivals? Give me dedication and effort, that is all I ask. Above all be true to yourselves, for I abhor the face of hypocrisy, the face now all too familiar when men approach Me".
"For the whole purpose of life is not the service of God but the development of the soul of man. He who worships Me with empty ritual and vain ceremonial but neglects the wellbeing of his own soul, does not serve Me well, for he thwarts My purpose. I have endowed the creature made in My likeness with a religious instinct, for this springs from its everlasting spirit, as fire generates heat; therefore, to worship is not unnatural. But blind worship lacks the vitalising element, it defeats its own end, for in true worship man should reach out beyond himself to discover his own soul. Then, having done so, he should develop it until the soul aspires to godhood itself".
From "Jesus 2":
Jesus was then asked if He was one with God, and He answered, "It is not in Me to state that which I know to be untrue, and truly there can be but one God alone. Because I have been granted visions and insight into things unseen and unknown to other men, what manner of man would I be did I claim equahty with God? I have spoken only that which I am bidden. I have said, worship God who is My Father and your Father. Does this then raise Me above other men? I have proclaimed all men My brothers and if I have said I am even as God, then truly I have raised them up also. Yet this they cannot see, or is it that they fear the burden of their own godhood?"

I rate it a solid 5- stars. Enjoy...
