April 4, 2011

Hello Friends,

Hope all are faring well in these wild times, which certainly are a-changin’. Thank you for your continued interest in Bloodline and in the subject matter at the heart of it, which affects us all.

Our own investigations continue in an intriguing way as the determination to excavate the tomb seen in Bloodline falls to others. While we have carried on unraveling threads of the Mystery, other colleagues and researchers have been following their own strands as well.

The result? Many new (and surprising) discoveries that will prove the historians have had it all wrong. It will be very interesting when some of these "finds" go public. Can’t wait!

In addition, we have been made aware that the Priory of Sion is preparing to release more information, more documents, in fairly short order. In this spirit of "openness" and release, Nicolas Haywood has appeared with me twice in recent months on NightVision Radio (show archives available at www.LATalkRadio.com).

Since the release of Bloodline, so many have asked to connect with Nicolas Haywood. He has been made aware, and we are so excited to report that Mr. Haywood will be featured in person on the upcoming Bloodline Mystery Tour through the UK, where he will present and be available for questions and discussions. Registration is still open (but hurry!) for this May 15–21 event. All the details for the UK Tour and for the Bloodline Mystery Tour to France on May 1 can be found at (www.GloriaAmendola.com).

The Bloodline Mystery Tours, led by author Gloria Amendola and myself, follow the procession of the "Holy Grail," if you will, through Southern France, the UK and beyond, incorporating the history, mystery and the "secret" power of the sites along the way. Please let us know ASAP if you feel drawn to either tour so we can hold your place!

Let me know if you have any questions! Happy to hear from you!

Beauseant!

BLOODLINE MYSTERY TOUR - Sept. 2010

Rennes-le-Chateau, France
Autumn Equinox
September 19-25, 2010

Rennes-le-Chateau…

A place of beauty, mystery and pilgrimage…a place of potent earth energies…a place of intrigue and questions, history and treasure. Why did Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, use the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau as the underlying basis of the bestselling novel of all time? Why does Henry Lincoln call this “The Holy Place”? And why do people from around the world flock to this tiny, remote village?

What is the real secret of this magical place? Why did Abbé Sauniére leave so many clues behind in the Church of Mary Magdalene? Who was his “housekeeper” Marie Dénarnaud and what secrets of Rennes did she take to her grave?

What exists beneath this infamous hill of ancient interest? Is it healing water enhanced with special properties? Water that could lead to an alchemical process so powerful that its use was prohibited at all costs, even when the village itself was ablaze?

Is this the burial place of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, as legend holds? And if so, why there? Of all the places on earth, why is Rennes-le-Chateau considered such a strong possibility?

You will follow Ben Hammott as he takes you through the Church of Mary Magdalene and explains how he found and deciphered clues left by the Abbé a hundred years ago. These coded clues led to more messages buried in bottles in key locations in the countryside and ultimately pointed to a buried chest containing 1st Century Jerusalemite articles as described in the final bottle clue: "The cup of Jesus and Mary, the anointing jar, and the parchment of Bigou." What was the priest Sauniere trying to tell us? Was this, as purported Priory of Sion representative Nicolas Haywood said, evidence of the marriage?"

Finally, what role does Renne-le-Chateau play in the current shift in consciousness? Some say this special place is connected to Roslin (Scotland) through the Rose Line. But what does that mean? And how does that play into the myth and legends of the area?

Come join us for a week of exploration into the past, present and future as we walk the lands in and around Rennes le Chateau, touch and drink the waters in Rennes and Alet-les-Bains, and connect with the highly charged earth energies during this special time of the Autumn Equinox.

NOTE: Optional private readings with Gloria Amendola will be available. As time will be limited, we suggest you book those private sessions early on, or before, the trip.

German Bloodline site - "Forge of Knowledge"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:12:00 +0000

A couple of our German friends, Christian and Martin, have established a great German website about Bloodline. We really appreciate their support as it is always great to connect and work with others interested in the mystery. The search for the truth must go on! Below is what they had to say.

- René & Robb

German Version:

Die Entstehung der „Schmiede des Wissens“:

Hier wollen wir euch einmal einen kleinen Überblick über die Entstehung unserer Homepage geben und wie wir auf den Film „Bloodline“ aufmerksam geworden sind. Dies wollen wir mit Hilfe einer kleinen Geschichte realisieren:

Es war kurz vor Weihnachten 2008 und es schneite fürchterlich, so arbeitete Christian sich wiedermal durch sein Buch „Der heilige Gral und seine Erben“ von Henry Lincoln und Michael Beigent. Dann klingelte sein Telefon und Martin, sein bester Kumpel, war am anderen Ende der Leitung und Christian erzählte zum ersten Mal von seinem Buch und dem Interesse über das Wissen rund um die Blutlinie Jesu und das Geheimnis von Rennes Le Chateau. Martin war von Anfang an begeistert und so wurde es ein stundenlanges Telefonat, da auch Martin sehr an Geschichte allgemein interessiert ist. Früher schon hatte Martin in der Schule zudem Geschichteleistungskurs als erstes Abiturfach gewählt, was das Folgen von Christians Ausführungen erleichterte. Nach einigen Stunden Telefonat verabredeten sie sich für einen der kommenden Tage.

Bei diesem Treffen wurde dann wiederrum ausführlich das Thema rund um die Blutlinie erörtert und darüber hinaus nach Fakten und Quellen im Internet gesucht, da die Fakten aus Christians Büchern nicht mehr ausreichten. Bei diesen Internetrecherchen stießen die beiden dann auf die Website zum „Bloodline“ Film und fanden auch schnell den Trailer.

Zuerst wussten beide nicht was davon zu halten war. Handelt es sich bei „Bloodline The Movie“ um einen Hollywood Film oder doch um eine durch Fakten belegte Dokumentation? Beim weiteren lesen der Website zeigte sich jedoch das es sich wohl um eine Dokumentation mit Fakten handeln muss und nicht um einen beleglosen Hollywoodfilm! Auch war dort von Ben Hammott zu lesen und ein Link zu seiner eigenen Website. Wir fanden auf seiner Homepage auch konkrete Angaben, dass er 1999 ein Grab in der Gegend um Rennes Le Chateau gefunden hatte und dieses und andere Funde Bestandteil des „Bloodline“ Films sind. Nachdem Bens Seite komplett durchgelesen war, war es an der Zeit den „Bloodline Film“ und das Buch von Ben zu bestellen. Dann 3 Wochen später kam ein packet mit einem Absender aus den USA endlich hier in Deutschland an! Es war natürlich der Film!

Kurz darauf trafen sich beide natürlich um den Film gemeinsam zu schauen und zu analysieren. Da der Film komplett in Englisch ist musste dieser mehrfach angesehen werden um auch sicher zu sein, dass alles richtig verstanden wurde. Natürlich wurde das Buch von Ben auch gelesen und zeigte sich als gute Ergänzung zu dem Film. Auch sind die Fundorte deutlich detaillierter beschrieben als in dem Film.

Noch interessierter an der ganzen Thematik durchsuchten beide wieder das Internet und musste feststellen, dass die ganzen deutschen Websites den Film eher zerreissen und als Produkt Hollywoods darstellen. Dies war so für beide nicht nachvollziehbar. So fassten sie den Entschluss eine eigene Website zu erstellen um ihre eigene Meinung und die Richtigkeit des Films und Bens Funden als einzige deutsche Website zu vertreten. „Die Schmiede des Wissens“ war geboren!

Also begannen sie mit der aufwendigen Recherche rund um die Blutlinie Jesu und Rennes Le Chateau um Material für die Website zu erhalten. Schon im August 2009 ging die erste Version der „Schmiede des Wissens“ mit dem bis dahin zusammengetragenen Material online. Die Arbeit wurde zwischen den beiden aufgeteilt sodass Christian sich zunehmend um die Recherche und das Verfassen von Texten kümmerte und Martin sich mehr auf die Erstellung der Website konzentrierte.

Dann am 04.09.2009 war der erste Kontakt mit dem „Bloodline Team“ per E-Mail hergestellt. Es folgten viele Informationen und Material, welches die beiden weiter in ihre Homepage mit einbeziehen konnten.

Die Seite wurde dabei im Laufe der Zeit immer weiter mit Informationen und Material gefüllt und bald darauf wurde die zweite Version der „Schmiede des Wissens“ online geschaltet!

Der Kontakt zu dem „Bloodline Team“, Robb Wood und Rene Barnett wurde über die Zeit immer und immer besser.

Am 17.02.2010 wurde die „Schmiede des Wissens“ dann auf der Bloodline Website als einzige deutsche Seite mit Logo verlinkt!

Vieles weiter wird die Zukunft zeigen und die „Schmiede des Wissens“ wird sicherlich weiter wachsen und mit Sicherheit auch durch die Hilfe unserer Freunde in den USA.

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Christian und Martin

English Version:

The development of The “Forge of Knowledge”:

Here we want to give you a short overview of the development of our website “The Forge of Knowledge” and how we got involved with “Bloodline the Movie”. We would like to present it in a little tale:

It was a snowy evening in December 2008, very close to Christmas. Christian was working through the book „Holy Blood Holy Grail“ from Henry Lincoln and Michael Baigent again. The phone rang and Martin, his best friend, was on the other end of the line and Christian started to talk about the book, the bloodline of Jesus and the mystery of Rennes Le Chateau. Right from the start Martin was enthusiastic and so the phone call lasted many hours. Since Martin is very interested in history in general he had chosen History advanced course at school and made it to his first course in final secondary-school examinations. This was quite helpful to follow the arguments of Christian. After many hours at the phone they arranged to meet within the next days.

During this meeting they talked very detailed about the “Bloodline” and started to research in the internet to get some new facts and sources, since the facts the gained from Christian’s books were not sufficient to them anymore. Through this internet research they found the Website that refers to “Bloodline the Movie” and the Trailer of the film as well.

At first both didn’t know what to think about it. Is “Bloodline the Movie” a Hollywood film or a documentation with serious facts? By reading the website in detail they came to the conclusion that “Bloodline the Movie” had to be a serious documentation and not just a Hollywood movie! On this website they read the first time about Ben Hammott and found the link to his own website. There they found out that Ben discovered a grave in the area round Rennes Le Chateau in 1999 and a lot more stuff which is part of “Bloodline the Movie”. After reading everything on Ben’s website it was time to order “Bloodline the Movie” and the book from Ben Hammott. After three long weeks a package finally arrived in Germany from the USA! Certainly this had to be the film!

Later they met to watch and analyze the film together. Due to the fact that the movie is in English they had to watch it several times to be sure that they understood everything correctly. Certainly the book of Ben Hammott showed to be a nice addition in order to the film. Since it describes the places of Ben’s discoveries more detailed.

After watching the movie and reading the book they were even more interested in the topic and they started to do more internet research. They found out that all German websites dealing with that topic describe the film as a Hollywood hoax. They could not believe it. So they decided to work on their own website to illustrate their own opinion and represent the accuracy of “Bloodline the Movie” and Ben’s discoveries as first and only German website. “The Forge of Knowledge“ was born!

So they began with complex researches round about the bloodline of Jesus and Rennes Le Chateau and collected a lot of information for their website. Already in August 2009, the first version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online. Soon after that the work was split up between Christian and Martin. Christian was in charge for the researches and text writing whereas Martin concentrated on establishing and improving the website.

On September 4, 2009 they had the first mail contact with the “Bloodline Team”.The “Bloodline Team” provided a lot of information to them which was then included on the website.

The website was continuously filled with new information and other stuff. Shortly after the second version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online!

The communication with the “Bloodline Team”, Robb Wood and Rene Barnett became better and better with time.

After a long time and many hours of work the final version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online on January 8, 2010!! This time with a brand new logo and a big community!!

On February 17, 2010, “The Forge of Knowledge” was linked on the “Bloodline website” as only German website, even with our logo!

The future will bring much more information and other stuff so “The Forge of Knowledge” will grow!! Of course also thanks to the great support of our friends from the USA.

Best regards from Germany

Christian and Martin

BLOODLINE IN TULSA

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:38:00 +0000

You Really CAN Go Home Again!

The Bloodline screening in Tulsa went great. It was so cool to be ‘back home’ with old friends and colleagues and also to make so many new friends.

From left: Rene regaling friends Mike McCarthy, Barbara McCarthy, and Dominique Khordoc with tales from L.A. and the Languedoc.

I have to tell you I was just a little nervous… sort of felt like Janis Joplin going back to Port Arthur… wondering if you really can’t go home again… especially when home is The Bible Belt and you’ve made a controversial film most surely to be considered heretical by most folks there.

Of course, there were old friends there as well… some of my old radio colleagues from back in the day (KAKC, the Rockin’ 97!), the Van Marens and the McCarthys… and my good buddy Myrna Avance who put me up while I was in town.

René and Myrna… BFFs!!!

I’ve been away from Oklahoma for a long time now, so I just didn’t know what to expect until I got there. But, although it was, ironically, the one city where we’ve screened Bloodline and received NO attention from the press, save a tiny article in the Tulsa World, the screening itself could not have gone better.

Bloodline poster in the lobby of the Circle Cinema in Tulsa, Ok.

Unity Center of Tulsa was kind enough to let me up to the pulpit on Sunday morning to talk briefly about the film before the screening at the Circle Cinema later that night. When I got to the theater, it was reassuring to see several of the people I’d met earlier at Unity . Then I knew I was among friends.

René answers lots of questions from Tulsa Movie-goers. (AND vows never to be photographed in short sleeves again!)

It’s so interesting as we travel around with Bloodline to see how these ideas are catching on everywhere and resonating with so many people. It really does seem the world is moving faster and faster toward bigger and bigger changes.

Tulsa movie-goers... including my friend Monique Khordoc (Lower left hand corner) who drove up to Tulsa from Dallas with her husband, business man and teacher Jean-Pierre, & the lovely Michelle Wiens (lower right hand corner) who along with her husband, Circle Cinema owner Clark Wiens, hosted Bloodline

Thanks to everyone in Tulsa… especially Clark and Michelle Wiens of the Circle Cinema… for your good ol’ Oklahoma hospitality… and thanks for the offer to screen Bloodline again in the near future!

Benton Collins Relic Photo Story

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:50:00 +0000

You know, Bruce and I, collectively, put in a lot of years researching and producing Bloodline. It was a mutual passion that we were following. Actually, pursuing, might be a better term for it, because we were, without a doubt, totally driven as neither one of us had ever been on any other project in our careers.

Because of the undercover nature of some of the investigation, we worked almost completely in a vacuum and were totally unaware of what other people might think of the finished project.

When the film was first released last spring in New York, we were no less than blown away by the responses we received from audience members. No one was more amazed than we were at how the film, and our journey, seemed to touch people in a very deep way. It was humbling. The people we met there had a very profound effect on us. One of them was a professional photographer named Benton Collins.

Benton shot photos of our premiere and press conference. He asked if we would also like some still images of the chest and relics we found in the Languedoc which dated back to 1st Century Jerusalem.

While we were being touched by our experience with NY filmgoers, apparently Benton was being touched by the relics as he photographed them in his Manhattan studio. Below is his recollection of that day. - René Barnett

Photographing the relics was a great honor for me from any angle you wish to see it. At a minimum they have tremendous historical significance just from their certified origins of 1st century AD Jerusalem and IF the story checks out to be true, I have touched the very same cup that the Biblical Jesus had once actually held in his hands. This aspect of course holds a different meaning for everyone, ranging from the purely historical to the intensely spiritual, for me it was more of the latter.

During the shoot I had a very strange thing happen. I added a small loaf of bread behind the cup to make a simple still life. I intentionally made the light on the top of the bread very dark as I wanted the light to focus more on the cup, but on two frames during the shoot, my top light fired off much brighter than I had set it for, making the bread much lighter than I had intended. I moved on to finish the shoot and upon reviewing the erroneous frames, I was struck with how much more powerful the shots that had the brighter light on the bread were. Was this strictly equipment malfunction or could this possibly have been something more? My equipment has never done this before and has not done it since. Could this have been a divine sign? And if this really was a sign, what could it mean? The main meaning I have received from this is that the extra light was to illuminate that it was not only the 2000 year old cup that was important, but also the fresh bread that I had just picked up at the corner store with it’s here and now life giving vitality. I really do feel that God / a higher power or whatever you wish to assign, was telling me that He/She or It, is vitally present, just like the fresh bread in my still life.

It gets weirder...

Initially, this story and photo with the bread was not included in the original disc I had sent to René at the Bloodline office in California. After many weeks of Bloodline having possession of the original disc, I received an e-mail from Robb Wood, Production Coordinator at 1244 Films, asking if I could send him another one. It turned out that the original disc that I had sent them had cracked inside his computer after he had inserted it in perfect condition! (it had been read before at their office with no problem) I have handled hundreds of discs and this is the first time I have ever heard of this happening! I don't even know how it would be possible for a disc to crack inside a computer since the disc only spins. There is no physical contact (except sitting on a spindle) or uneven pressure applied to the disc of any kind in a computer drive. Very strange!

Was this a continuation of equipment malfunctions surrounding the relics or something else? I have always felt uncomfortable about not including the cup and bread still life in the original disc. Somehow, I have always felt that this photo should be shared with everyone. When I heard about the cracked disc, I took it as an opportunity and was prompted to include this still life in the new disc I sent. It is my hope that the viewer will enjoy this photo regardless of whether the extra light on the bread was ultimately caused by a rare equipment malfunction or something so grand as divine intervention. I have a feeling that time will eventually tell us the truth. – Benton Collins

Stargate Rennes-Le-Chateau?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:41:00 +0000

The tiny French village of Rennes-le-Chateau and its environs in the Languedoc region are swirling with mystery and legend--from the century-old Abbe Berenger Sauniere story, to the purported location of the tombs of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, tales of necromancy, UFOs, Nephilim, and, yes, even Bigfoot!

In any case, there is something very special about this place. One theory that’s out there, is that it is the site of a portal to other dimensions, a stargate of sorts. Our friend and fellow “Rennie”, Ani Williams takes a look at that idea in an article she wrote after interviewing City of Secrets author Patrice Chaplin. In the following excerpt from that article, Ani ref erences the now famous “Tour Magdala” or Magdalene Tower constructed by Abbe Sauniere at the turn of the 20th Century.

Enjoy! – René

The…Tour Magdala, dated to 1901, was constructed by the enigmatic priest Berenger Saunier in Rennes le Chateau, France. It is located next to the famous Magdalene Church filled with coded grail imagery. Interestingly, both the small village of Soubirous (French spelling of the name of Bernadette Subiros, Our Lady of Lourdes visionary) and the Cave of Magdalene lie to the Southwest of the French Tour Magdala. This southwest alignment appears to be marked by an anomalous red tile in the floor of the Tour library.

Sauniere built his home between the Tour and the Magdalene Chapel and called it Villa Bethania. Bethany was the town in Galilee, home of Mary, her sister Martha and brother Lazarus. Beth-El, Hebrew words meaning house of God, is the name given by Jacob in Genesis 28, to the place where he had his vision of the ladder reaching between heaven and earth.

In the Genesis story Jacob uses a stone for a pillow and falls into a deep sleep. He dreams of a ladder reaching into heaven, upon which angels are constantly ascending and descending. When he awakens, Jacob cries “Terribilis est locus iste”, how awesome or terrible is this place!
Over the entry porch of his Magdalene chapel, Sauniere inscribed the words ‘Terribilis est locus iste’. Why would the priest inscribe Jacob’s words if not to say that Rennes le Chateau is a Gate of Heaven, a place where the veil between heaven and earth is permeable.

Jacob’s Ladder and the Gate of Heaven

In Jacob’s dream, he has seen the opening between dimensions, normally only accessible to angels and prophets. According to Christian mystics and Gnostics, this Gate is available to all serious initiates. This ladder between the mundane and the heavenly realms is developed by practicing the ancient work of inner alchemy. As in Egyptian, Taoist, Vedic, Buddhist and Christian esoteric knowledge, one extends one’s sphere of possibilities with conscious breath work, meditation and using sacred sounds to vibrate and awaken the inner cauldrons of power, or energy centers.

The Djed Pillar or backbone of Osiris is a more ancient version of Jacob’s Ladder. Many of the Christian esoteric traditions are rooted in Sumerian and Egyptian practices, which included the opening of the five senses to awaken the sixth and beyond. Ritual anointing with aromas of a high frequency, such as spikenard, frankincense, myrrh and cedar was practiced by the Myrrhophores, priestesses of the temple such as Mary Magdalene, Hathor and Isis. Sacred sounds, chants and incantations were used to open doorways of perception and raise the djed, or kundalini.

In the Naassene Sermon, a text said to be based on a teaching given by Jesus at the Last Supper, this raising of the Shakti, or Kundalini is called reversing the flow. This process creates the upward-flowing river, thus relieving the normal gravity and human focus on the mundane. Unlimited worlds of potentiality open in the initiate who develops the inner balance of connection between earth and sky. (For more reading on the Naassenes, see the book ‘Gnostic Secrets of the Naassenes, The Initiatory Teachings of the Last Supper’ by Mark H. Gaffney.)

Happy Birthday, darling Jolie

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:01:00 +0000

"Soit glorieuse, mon ange!"

Dear Friends,

Those of you who have seen “Bloodline” may have wondered about the dedication at the end:

“Dedicated, with love, to Jolie Maria Golden-Valtierra 1973 – 2005”

Jolie is my beloved daughter, and today is her birthday. It has been nearly four years now since she passed away from a blood clot on the day we started official production of “Bloodline.”

I struggled terribly through that first year, and, on the anniversary of her death, May 22, I was in London for a planned meeting with representatives of the Priory of Sion. Alone in my hotel room on the night of May 21, I found it impossible to sleep, thinking of my dear girl. So, as the clock passed midnight and into the 22nd of May, I began to write.

May 22, 2006

One year ago today, my world changed forever. I changed forever when I lost my funny, beautiful, loving, kind and crazy daughter, Jolie Maria. Things will never be the same for me or for all those who love and miss her, not the least of whom, her three amazing children, Edward, Liliana and Benjamin. Each of us must now go on, honoring the love she showed to all of us and the kindness she showed family, friends and strangers alike.

Jolie had a premonition of her early death. She told me so a few times throughout her life. I think she was about eight years old when she first said, “Mom, I’m not going to live to be very old. I’ll never live to be 35.” She probably only said it maybe three or four times over the years, and each time, I would chastise her, saying something to the effect of, “Honey, don’t say that! Don’t even give that thought any energy!” And she would just shrug and say, “Okay, Mom, but I’m just telling you.” To a mother, it was a thought too horrible to be entertained.

But the morning I found her lifeless body, it immediately struck me that, on some level, I had always known this was the way it would play out for us, and that, in her way, consciously or unconsciously, she had been trying to prepare me for it. Oh, my Darling Girl, I now thank you for that.

But even knowing that it was somehow in the plan for her to have such a short stay here with us, cannot take away the heartache from me, her Dad, her Mammy and Papa, her brother Devin, and those three children she loved so very much.

So, thank you, my friends, for the kindness and concern you have shown me through the past year. I know sometimes it’s difficult dealing with someone who has been damaged by such an event, so I cherish your heartfelt prayers and good wishes, and I hope I do not test your patience too much.

For those of you who knew Jolie, I don’t have to tell you what I miss about her. For those of you who didn’t, I wish you could have. She was like sunshine… always shining brightly, always smiling and laughing, no matter how she was suffering.

Oh, she wasn’t perfect… far from it. In fact, some of her life decisions seemed so wacky, they often drove me to distraction. But looking back on it all now, I believe she knew she didn’t have much time and was just trying to pack in as much life as she could. She did it with gusto!

And here’s to my daughter, my child, my sweet, sweet Jolie. . I love you forever and look forward to seeing you again one day when my work here is done. In the meantime, I thank you for staying with us those thirty-two years, and teaching me that love is all that matters.

I wish the whole world knew that, too.

Thank you, my friends, for letting me share my very personal feelings with you on this very special day for me.

Love,
René

BLOODLINE SHOWN IN RENNES LE CHATEAU

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:45:00 +0000

We have made so many new friends from many varying beliefs, practices, disciplines and philosophies on our journey to Bloodline. Gloria Amendola is one of the most fascinating, and while she and I may come to this mystery from different directions, I have come to value her as a close and dear friend, and I hope she says the same of me. I think certainly one thing we both agree on is that there is room for everyone in this ongoing conversation.

We are grateful to Gloria and to all those who helped facilitate a screening in that magical village in Southwest France called Rennes-le-Chateau. Regrettably, work prevented Bruce and I from being able to attend, but we look forward to another screening in the Region in the near future. We’ll keep you posted on that as well as other upcoming Bloodline screenings and appearances.

BLOODLINE SHOWN IN RENNES LE CHATEAU
AND THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DENARNAUD…
by
Gloria Amendola
On the evening of September 21, 2008 at La Capitol in Rennes le Chateau, France, right next to the mayor’s office, Bloodline was shown to an audience of about seventy people. The viewers included the locals, French Templars, the English, Dutch and Germans, an indigenous shaman, and a handful of Americans.

It was certain to be a tough and critical audience but it was imperative the film be shown in the village, especially given the new evidence showcased in the film and the new mayoral administration with its sense of forward thinking.

Since Rene Barnett and Bruce Burgess couldn’t be in Rennes le Chateau because of prior commitments, those of us who were there stepped up to help out. Thanks to Victor Serino and Ruben Rivera, whose financial and technical support made this night a reality. Others who helped out included Ani Williams, Nancy Safford, Gerda & Tobias Dobler, as well as some of the village residents.

It took some time to put the pieces in place, but once we did, we all breathed a sigh of relief that this moment had finally come. A few people did walk out during the screening. Some appeared cynical and somewhat mocking. Others seemed hopeful that Bloodline would finally move this story forward in a new and credible way.

Authors Henry Lincoln and Tim Wallace-Murphy, investigator Colin Taylor, and “the tomb man,” Ben Hammott were all in attendance for the post-film discussion. I facilitated the Q&A session afterwards, with the help of Ruben Rivera translating.

Rene wanted to give Henry his due acknowledgment so that sentiment was delivered after the film by Tim. Henry then strolled up to the front of the room to acknowledge the accolades and joined in on the Q&A.

Tim and Henry had much to say and Ben patiently waited his turn. Finally his time came and he added his insights and experiences to the debate. He said there had been three meetings with the DRAC and provided some details on those meetings.

Ben then clarified something about the Sauniere parchments. He said a linguistics expert had looked at what people say is bad French on those parchments, but that it likely contained a code to the language used by Sauniere.

I had hoped for more discussion on the Sauniere parchments, the parchments presented by Gerard Thom, the alleged underground repository in the area, and the bloodline. No one in the audience refuted the idea of the bloodline or the idea of the marriage of Jesus & Mary. What they did refute was that Ben actually unearthed this evidence!

One man chided Ben for claiming to find objects in a nearby cave known to some as the Cave of the Magdalene. He said no one else had found anything in there. Ben’s response was simple. He said it was because the whole cave area just hadn’t been searched.

It’s understandable that people were apprehensive about the film and this new evidence. There have been so many hoaxes involving the Rennes le Chateau mystery. But the more time that passes, the more Ben’s evidence can be examined with objectivity rather than with the incredible emotional charge this whole story still holds over us.

People were engaged in the film, and most stayed for the discussion. I think the debate could have gone on for some time, but it was late and tensions had run high all weekend. Ani said history was made that night, and looking back, I think she was right.

So whatever criticism or skepticism was expressed, Bloodline continues to keep the discussion alive as to what is buried in the environs of Rennes le Chateau.

Thankfully there are those who remain determined to find proof that will finally crack the codes of that region – whether it is to be found in Templar tombs, from further evidence of the real Jesus story, or by unveiling the true identity of Magdalene. Maybe that would explain why she was an inspiration to Abbes Boudet and Sauniere, and Marie Denarnaud.

AND SPEAKING OF MARIE DENARNAUD…

Since writing this article, I have begun to further understand one of the key players in this puzzle, certainly in the Sauniere era – Marie Denarnaud. She has fascinated me for a long time. I have always felt the account of her story was…well…wrong.

If you go to my website at http://www.gloriaamendola.com/blog.html and scroll down to the July 2, 2008 entry called The Bloodline Mysteries, you can read how Marie’s spirit came to me one day with a very curious message while I was visiting Rennes le Chateau.
I have encountered some strange theories on my walkabouts in the area. It was suggested to me that Marie Denarnaud was the daughter of Berenger Sauniere, or that her father had a strong association with Abbe Boudet and to follow that lead.

But what feels right to me is that Marie knew the secrets of the tunnels and underground truth of the region, both literally and figuratively. Did that mean she had trained for the guardianship of the grail even before she met Sauniere? Was she placed in the village to awaken her ancestral memories and help the priest make sense of things? Or did she already understand the bloodline enigma that had been protected for generations? Is that why no harm ever came to her and why she took these secrets to her grave?

This scenario answers some nagging questions and is one I will explore in my upcoming tour of the area in April to further understand the land and its grail codes.

LOST TOMB OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR by Ben Hammott

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:43:00 +0000

Hi,

Just to let you know my book, Lost Tomb of the Knights Templar, is now available to purchase from this website: http://www.losttomb.net or my main research website: www.benhammott.com

100 years ago a French priest embedded clues in his church leading to a secret location.

Those clues have been solved.

That location has been found.

The SECRET is revealed!

678 pages with 331 images to illustrate every important step of my quest

The book is approximately 8" x 5" and Expected UK price is £15.95

Some of the topics covered include:

How I first came to hear of the Rennes-le-Chateau Mystery and my first and subsequent visits to the village and the surrounding area.

How Sauniere's church clues were solved and how they led to my discoveries.

Full details and images of the 'Sauniere messages' are finally disclosed, including exactly how and where they were discovered and the information they contain.

Full details of the Tomb discovery, the objects inside and how Sauniere's church was used to find it. Including what took place when the tomb was filmed and how the hair sample was taken.

Information about a second tomb at Pontils.

'Sauniere's Confession' - what part if any did he play in the brutal murder of the Abbé Antoine Gelis, the motive and how it might have been carried out. Including the report of an investigation into the murder by a modern day murder Detective Inspector, Colin Taylor, Metropolitan Police (ret) Also an English translation of some of the French police reports and autopsy translation.

Full reports on all the tests and examinations by experts on all of the discoveries.

Read about my exploits above and below ground as the clues and the information on the 'Sauniere messages' were acted upon.

Mary Magdalene investigated - Saint or Sinner? What role did Mary play in the life of Jesus before and after the crucifixion? Is there any evidence to the legends that Mary Magdalene came to France and how far back into history can this story be traced?

The meetings with the DRAC to report the Tomb, our subsequent visit to the site and our discussions about the planned future excavation of the tomb.

Lois Gibson, a respected forensic artist who is recorded in The Guinness Book of World Records as "The World's Most Successful Forensic Artist," agreed to do a face reconstruction sketch from photographs of the Tomb's occupant, you can see the result for yourself in the book.
