The Kolbrin
The Kolbrin is NOT a mainstream book. You’ll be hard pressed to find out much about it even on Google.
It’s a collection of translated scrolls that its publishers claim originate from various periods of Egyptian history – dynastic and pre-dynastic – complemented by others from the early history of the British Isles.
The scrolls are packed full of ‘historical’ descriptions of ancient odysseys (including the saga of a group of Egyptians who fled their morally bankrupt homeland to found a new colony in neolithic – or possibly Celtic – Britain), a cyclic global catastrophe caused by some kind of celestial event (‘The Destroyer’), stolen and hidden treasure, and all those other good things you’d expect from underground ancient writings whose time has supposedly come. Primarily, though, The Kolbrin is a vehicle for a moral code – ‘The Good Religion’ – whose blossoming, the original authors claimed, was ‘buried in the womb of the future’. After barely escaping the destruction of Glastonbury Abbey during Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monastries, The Kolbrin eventually found its way to New Zealand where its current custodians have decided that the message latent in the scrolls can finally be released to a world that has a chance of learning from the ancient wisdom contained within them.
Please join me on a journey through the various scrolls by clicking on the link below (more coming soon). I shall be giving a short summary of each section of The Kolbrin along with my thoughts on this most esoteric of publications.
The Book of Creation
An extract from The Great Book of the Sons of Fire
The Book of Gleanings
An extract from various old Culdee books
The Book of Scrolls
Compiled from remaining portions of The Bronzebook
The Book of Creation
The Book of Creation – Part I
This book opens The Kolbrin as it exists today. It is, it states: An account of the beginning of things and why they are as we find them. All well and good, but who are these Sons of Fire? The short answer, which becomes apparent as The Kolbrin unfolds, is that they are a sect of Egyptian origin...
The Book of Gleanings
The Book of Gleanings – Part I
Welcome back to this series on The Kolbrin which now moves on from The Book of Creation to The Book of Gleanings which, as its name suggests, purports to be a collection of writings from ‘various Culdee books’ (that’s books of the Culdean Trust who published The Kolbrin) that were ‘partially destroyed in Ancient Times’. This first section tells the story of Maya and Lila, and claims to be from a work originally called The Book of Conception because it deals with ‘man’s conception of The True God in olden times, during the struggle back to the light’. The narrative, often highly allegorical, goes something like this (in my own words, of course): The original men had a dual nature consisting of beast and potential divinity, and women seemed to prefer the beastly aspect of that nature which really hacked God off, because woman, who alone could give birth, had to contain a spark of divinity to pass down to her offspring so that they could be born with the potential to aspire to higher spiritual things. Bit of a quandary, really. I’ll just interrupt the narrative here for a moment, because The Book of Gleanings occasionally slips in little aphorisms – or truisms – that seem to have little or no relevance to the narrative flow but are, nevertheless, worth, stopping at and having a think about. ‘The eye that sees earthly things is deceitful, but the eye that sees spiritual things is true’, says the writer in a seeming aside, which is a very hackneyed occult/philosophical concept that traffics in the so-called ‘Veil of Isis’; that is, the ‘curtain’ that prevents our physical senses from interpreting the true Nature of things. The ancient Greek philosophers had a crack at...
The Book of Scrolls
The Book of Scrolls – Part I
Welcome back to this journey through The Kolbrin. Well, we’ve passed through the last of The Book of Gleanings and start, now, on the next part of The Kolbrin, entitled The Book of Scrolls. Apparently The Book of Scrolls was formerly called The Book of Books. Or The Lesser Book of the Sons of Fire and/or The Third Book of the Bronze Book. It’s all very confusing, but don’t worry, because the compilers of The Kolbrin obviously felt the same way as, before they embarked on the chapters proper, they wrote that The Book of Scrolls was: ‘Compiled from remaining portions of a much damaged part of The Bronzebook and rewritten in our tongue and retold to our understanding according to present usage’. So, there you go. The first chapter is called The Sacred Registers - Part I and it starts off with the bangingly portentous statement that ‘Herein are recorded sacred things which should never be written’ - and if that doesn’t whet your appetite for things esoteric, I don’t know what will. After that cracking opening salvo, though, it becomes immediately apparent that this first chapter is no more nor less than a kind of funerary oration, an exhortation that a recently deceased member of what sounds like a rather enlightened society be accepted into a shining and glorious afterlife in what is, essentially, a rite of passage. The whole thing has a distinctly Egyptian flavour, but there are one or two little statements that imply the society to which the departed one belongs is no longer located in that ancient land but has upped sticks and moved on elsewhere. So, then, let’s take a look . . . After giving us flawed human memory and distorted transmission as the reasons why these...
