Custodians of Truth - The Continuance of Rex Deus by Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins

(PRWEB) April 17, 2005

“In 1994, at the end of a talk on Rosslyn Chapel, a middle-aged Englishman approached Tim and introduced himself as Michael. The conversation turned to esoteric symbolism, a subject of which Michael displayed a deep understanding. When asked where he had gained his level of insight, he replied, ‘From the secret traditions of my family, which have been preserved for over two thousands years.’ Intrigued, Tim questioned him further. Michael claimed, and later was able to prove, that he was a direct descendant of the family of Hughes de Payen, a founder of the Knights Templar and the order’s first Grand Master. “

This curious chance meeting happened to Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins after they published Rex Deus, their first book on the bloodline of Christ: they were contacted by a man (Michael) from the lineage they were studying. And, instead of denying the existence of the bloodline or berating them for revealing secrets, he actually confirmed that the Rex Deus lineage exists and even disclosed some of its fundamental secrets.

The story of the Rex Deus families, direct descendents of Christ—who is believed to have survived the crucifixion—turns out to be much more extensive than the authors first thought. Instead of beginning during the time of Jesus, it stretches far back into antiquity, to the Egyptian Mystery Schools. Instead of being only a propagation of the holy bloodline, the Rex Deus families are also carriers of the secret teachings of Jesus.

Custodians of Truth reveals the purpose and secrets of the Rex Deus lineage. Jesus was not only a holy man, but an adept of ancient knowledge, which informed his own teachings. This secret knowledge was suppressed by the Church in their voracious quest for power and influence in the secular world. These teachings have manifested throughout history in different forms—Gnostic philosophy around the time of Jesus, the Order of the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and the current resurgence of interest in New Age thought. Finally, the time is right for the hidden message of Jesus to be revealed—a message of tolerance, brotherhood, and respect for nature.

Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins are coauthors of the best-selling Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail. They are both scholars of medieval history relative to the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Christ and have coauthored other works including Templars in America (Weiser Books, November 2004) and Rex Deus. They also lecture on these subjects in England and abroad. Both reside in Devon, England.
