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.

I need to jump forward a little bit here and explain that The Kolbrin depicts the hierarchy of existence as a three-sphere model. It’s a bit weird, but what you have is the originating sphere of The Source which sends energy outward to create the next sphere, which is the sphere of Spirit, beyond...

The Book of Gleanings
The Book of Gleanings – Part II
In the last passage, we heard the story of Maya and Lila, which seemed, when all is said and done, to be yet another allegorical version of humanity’s Fall, albeit painting women as the culprits. This next section picks up the threads of the previous one and tells how the remnants of the Children of God (the men especially) mated with the womenfolk of the Children of Men (a wanton lot who apparently knew how to please a man) and begat strapping male offspring ideally suited for warfare (although any daughters they produced were considered a bit wishy-washy). The newly formed tribe migrated to a new land called Kithermis which they split into three. At this point The Kolbrin relates that mankind’s life-span became shortened because he became fully Earth-sustained. Now, many ancient traditions catalogue humanity’s dwindling life expectancy after The Fall, although this appears to run counter-intuitive to modern scientific thought (for what that’s worth). If you’ve been following the Gurdjieff thread on this website, you’d have recognised a similar scenario; that is, that humanity’s life-expectancy is directly commensurate with its yearning for spiritual and psychic self-betterment. The more humanity aspires to godhood, the longer it seems to live; and the reverse is true the more attached to an Earthy existence it becomes. I suppose that means that we have to take the concept metaphorically. It’s nothing to do, really, with our physical bodies; it’s all about developing our spirituality. In other words, those ancient writings are probably implying that the more we develop the non-corporeal aspects of our existence, the more chance we have of creating an ‘inner’self that...

The Book of Scrolls – Parts II & III
Welcome back to this journey through The Kolbrin. We have arrived at The Sacred Registers – Part 2, which like the previous one, is a chapter in The Book of Scrolls. Now, this is a very short chapter, as is the next, The Sacred Registers – Part 3, so I’ll attempt to deal with them both in this single post. But beware! These and the following chapters contain some disturbing passages, and they are beautifully, eerily spooky. It looks as if we have a change of scribe from the previous chapter, a chap who gives his name as Lavos, and he claims to be recording, in the language of the Sons of Fire, an address by Nadayeth the Enlightener (who was from the ‘twin cities’ whence the Sons of Fire came) to the so-called Learned Ones. The material for the speech derives from the writings of one Garmi, and the whole episode has the air of some kind of cultural or religious embassy about it. It’s almost as if Nadayeth, who apparently fled the ‘twin cities’ after he somehow upset its king, has arrived in a new land and is attempting to explain his own rites to the incumbent priesthood. It is extremely tempting to read into this an address by an exiled band of Egyptians (possibly from the ‘twin cities’ of Thebes; that is, the living and the dead cities on either side of the Nile) to the established learned elite of somewhere like Neolithic Britain – in other words, the Druids (and we’ll get to why that should be later in this post). Nadayeth’s ‘pitch’ involves the rhetorical trick of employing the present tense to invoke a kind of current-action picture story in the minds of his audience. The result is very effective, and very haunting. ‘Behold this, ‘ he begins, inviting his audience...
