Excerpt: In great numbers of places in the Old Testament, the allegory
of trees and letters is referred to. What was the Rod of Aaron which threw
out branches or leaves or buds? What were the magical peeled rods of
Jacob What has the meaning of the branch from which the stem of Jesse
was to arise Was Jesse I-esa ? The Gnostics frequently called Jesus the
tree of Life, and the tree itself which grew in the middle of Paradise, and,
was the acquisition of the knowledge of letters without initiation, is
supported by the assertion of Enoch, that the wickedness of the world,
which caused the flood, consisted in the attempts of men to obtain
forbidden knowledge.
About the author…
The author was engaged in researches for this book nearly ten
hours a day for twenty years. “Of the author's portentous knowledge,
his powerful critical faculty, his fitness to investigate and elucidate the
ancient mysteries of mythology, philology, ethnology, and other
ologies, many persons speak with reverence and rapture. But even men
of education must admit that Higgins collected a large number of curious
and important facts. The novel independence of Higgins’ mind may
serve as an example to many readers; the vastness of his learning, the
justness of his reasoning, and his critical sagacity, are beyond the ken
of ordinary mortals.” Godfrey Higgins was convinced that a high
civilization had flourished prior to all historical records. He believed that
there had existed then a most ancient and universal religion from which all
later creeds and doctrines sprang. His research lasted over 20 years.
