Shakespeare's Holy Grail:

Synopsis

‘This even-handed justice commends th’ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips.’

Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7

What if Macbeth’s ‘poisoned chalice’ is a veiled reference to the cup of the Last Supper?
What if Shakespeare has encrypted the ancient secrets of the Holy Grail into his verse?
What if knowing this forbidden truth has the power to resurrect the sleeping soul within us? And, what if awakening the soul, will (in Hamlet’s words) end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to?

As you’ll soon realise, this book has two momentous revelations emerging in parallel: a new and profound understanding of Shakespeare’s plots, poetic imagery, and process that illuminate never before realised depths to the Bard himself; and astonishing insight into the ancient, universal, mystical teachings of Jesus the Christ and the line of masters preceding him.

Author Biography

If you have ever wondered who you really are and why you’re here, then we have something very much in common. Ever since childhood, I have been a misfit – an outsider who always sees things differently and could join dots that weren’t there. Now my quirky Jewish-Hindu-Christian bloodlines lend me a perspective on scripture and Shakespeare that reveals a profound, universal spiritual teaching encrypted in his plays. This forbidden teaching connects Hindus, Jews, Christians, and Moslems as equal members of the brother-sister-hood of humanity. I’ve enjoyed a maverick’s career creating new ways to facilitate growth, awareness, and leadership. 20 years ago I dreamt up the idea of ‘Horse-Assisted Transformation’ and have pioneered a field of personal and leadership development that continues to canter across the globe. I am married with five horses, a cat and a dozen chickens. We live just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, England. My previous book is: Why Talk to a Guru? When You can Whisper to a Horse.

Christmas Allusion in Shakespeare

Herewith the grand finale of our 12 days of Christmas Allusions. What has the play 12th Night got to do with the Epiphany? Seemingly nothing! But if you contemplate the opening reference to 'the food of love' long enough, it may take you on a journey to the Last Supper: where the body of Christ was placed symbolically in the vessel for food. This action was foreshadowed at the Epiphany when the body of Christ was placed literally in the manger (a vessel for food) and shown to the Shepherds and the Magi. The play itself makes a divine mockery of the orthodox account of the scripture - but once again serves as a vessel for Shakespeare to reveal the secrets of the Grail.

Book Excerpt

Shakespeare's Holy Grail:

Then, the immortal opening line of Twelfth Night kicks off with a multidimensional allusion to the sound current, manna from heaven, the daily bread, and the manger of the epiphany foreshadowing the cup of the Last Supper — both containers of the body and blood of Christ.

ORSINO

If music be the food of love, play on.
