Grail related Templar treasure somewhere in the region of Rennes-le-Chateau (RLC) in France - as currently reinforced by the recent release of the movie docu 'Bloodline' - you are always most welcome to return with me and to my very alternative means of deduction, to Lincoln Cathedral, England, and to the final conclusion to the mind-boggling RLC Mystery and hidden Templar store.
There is a definite dichotomy regarding this ongoing secret doctrine concerning alleged tombs and 'treasure' contents, many dismissing the entire affair out of hand as nothing more than a surrealist prank, the handiwork of the now deceased Messrs. Plantard, De Sede, and De Cherisey.
There is a simple yet effective compromise between those who choose the hoaxers theme and those who accept it at face value, and it is the product of that psychological realm, the mechanism of the Collective Unconscious, the dwelling place of surrealistic expression - and every possible hidden imagery you can think of. Surrealism alone - and our French Three were all of its persuasion - allows you to take your Mind where it doesn't usually go, a realm where fact and fiction will blur into one. Little surprise that Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' was so popular!
When the 'Collective Unconscious' seeps through a creative individual - irrespective of their awareness of this mechanism - it has the entire content of humankind from which to access in order to ensure that (in our case, this historical 'treasure hunt') unconnected clues are deposited where required via the medium of innocently unsuspecting individuals, even those who may initially set out to hoax or consider themselves hoaxers. Author Robert Anton Wilson was always amazed when things he confessed as making up in his 'Cosmic Trigger' series would often become real. Surreal painters and sculptors often produce works that bypass the rational Mind's preference to censor, surrealism and its followers bring vision and symbols of the Unconscious Mind including the Collective Unconscious to light. The joke may end up unfurling on the jokers as 'Many a true word is spoken in jest'.
The archetype of the evasive Grail moves about as a glob of mercury should you try to place your finger upon it, and why not......don't people who are being pursued continually keep on the move? The suspicion of historians is that the Grail has relocated six times since arriving in Europe from Jerusalem, now residing somewhere in England, with the reassuring if puzzling statement of affirmation that you do not find the Grail, it finds you! How else could this be if it wasn't with the assistance of our own 'Unconscious Mind'? How did ancient builders innocently manage to place their churches on what we now have discovered as ley-lines? How did Tibetan sages over two thousand years ago manage to compile mantras that modern day neurology now knows affects enzymes in the brain to alter consciousness? We all have experienced during sleep how there is no time in dreams, where past, present and future somehow merge, rather like clues left by centuries old secret societies and Masons only now being recognised today in paintings and Gothic architecture. To this end, and like others, I have been 'drawn' to the city of Lincoln, England.

For those who may wish to seek an alternative to the age old assurances of a
away from the marker tomb that pinpoints the Cathedral Code, to construct a sand diagram mandala.
Hollywood came here in 2005 to film scenes within the Cathedral for Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' movie; and in 2004 a group of Tibetan monks came on an unconscious pilgrimage from Drepung monastery in Tibet (usually held as the most mystical place on earth) to the Bishops Palace, only a few hundred yards

Robin Griffith-Jones, Master of the Temple Church, London was drawn to the Cathedral in 2006. The name of the man who started all the modern day Grail search at RLC bears the name Henry Lincoln, and his co-authors who wrote 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail', Baigent and Leigh, sued Dan Brown in the London Courts with a QC bearing the same
sounding name as the 'Rayner' family whose name is on the Lincoln Grail marker tomb.......Raynor James.
Perhaps 'Lincoln' is a strange connotation in its ownright..the most famous of all examples of synchronicity is that between the assassinations of President Lincoln and Kennedy (check it on any internet site)....the first alleged alien abduction case was of Betty and Barney Hill whilst driving through Lincoln, New Hampshire....the biggest lottery win ever in USA history - $365million in 2006 - was at Lincoln, Nebraska! Even the start of the recent motion movie 'National Treasure 2' starts with President Lincoln, and its fanatical treasure hunter is called Wilkinson, the name of the designer of Ben Hammott's website, Ben being the treasure hunter of the 'Bloodline' movie. Is it any wonder that the abbreviation for Lincolnshire is Lincs!
Carl Gustav Jung announced in 1947 that when we begin to see strange aerial phenomenon this would mark the herald of a consciousness change, the end of an era in history and the beginning of a new one, his symbols for
Lincoln Cathedral Marker tomb
In my Cathedral Code books I drew reference to the fact that you cannot linguistically pronounce 'Rayner' without it sounding like a blunted 'Rayn'..or REINE, in French, the Queen. In 1979, Henry Lincoln named one of his BBC documentaries on RLC, 'The Shadow of the Templars'. Revealingly, in Jungian territory, a shadow is an archetype which is an inferior aspect of the 'Self' which we hide from others. What an appropriately titled work!
this being the rounded ufo and mandala. Other rounded symbology is the Grail, and more recently, crop circles -another phenomenon that has enlisted the occasional aid of some hoaxers. The 'Collective Unconscious' is now pouring through, affecting and influencing us all, the information we collect, identify and piece together drawing closer to a conscious awakening in us all.
Back at the Rennes-le-Chateau church there is a stain glass window that shows Jesus with Martha and Mary. What is even more significant is that between the assembly we see our Lincoln Grail marker tomb as it stands today - it even has a

small cross in the middle to indicate that the tomb stands where once there was a church - the church of St Margaret that was demolished in 1781 the
same year that Marie de Negre died, and with her the secret of RLC. Did Sauniere knowingly place this clue in full knowledge of the Rayner tomb, or was he merely a tool of the 'Collective Unconscious'? If we visit this marker tomb today we will see the name Martha upon it, and on its strangely placed adjoining tomb we will see there is the Mary!

Within the Cathedral there is a painting we are told is of the Annunciation. We see a pregnant red haired female, who is meant to be the Virgin, staring over at what is the Rayner tomb as it stands today, with scrolls upon its top. (These scrolls may well lay below). How did the painter innocently paint such breathtakingly accurate clues, unless it was the CU at work yet again?
In Brown's Da Vinci Code fiction, the final resting place of Mary Magdalene and her secrets lay under a three foot tiny structured pyramid....the Rayner tomb, all three foot of it, has a pyramidical top! Has the CU connected Brown's fiction with a Lincoln reality? Let us look at the Rayner family crest.
The name 'Rayner' was undoubtably introduced into England from France circa C11. The crest features an ermine fur with 23 visible indents and two etoiles on an azure background. The etoiles, or stars, are each what is known as a Marian star, six-pointed,
which can also be identified with the Jewish emblem of the Star of David. The number 23 is most significant in our Lincoln Cathedral Code as it is connected with the 23rd day of July when the dogstar 'Sirius' is in conjunction with our Sun. Even the word 'ermine' can be afforded a closer scrutinty. 'Ermine', a fur once reserved for royalty, comes from the French 'hermine'. 'Her mine'..to mine is to bring about an excavation dug under a position to give secret ingress.. Mary Magdalene's mine?
Another talented invidual who was drawn to Lincoln Cathedral with appropriate and curiously innocent titles to his work, was Michael Dan Archer, an international stone sculptor who in 2002 contributed numerous examples of his sculptures in and around the Gothic building. One, opposite a wood carving of the Stations of the Cross containing one of my many 'dog' clues at the Chancery, he titled it 'The Portal'. Today, at the SE end of the Cathedral you can still see his gateway entitled 'Between two worlds'. Peeping through it, you see straight across to the Rayner marker tomb! However, no longer with us, is the sarchophagus-shaped slab that was placed outside the Great East Window, the initial starting point of my Cathedral Code with its dog on the platter at the scene of
'Between Two Worlds'
