 Stuart
Brown - Council Member (KT GCKT)
Having retired in
November 2011, my ‘to do list’ included (among many other things)
visiting Templar locations wherever possible. So far I have visited
places in the UK, France, Portugal, Spain & Malta.
I intend to photograph them and add these to our database at every
opportunity.
I have an ever growing library of
books about our forebears and will continue to collect and read
anything that may shed light on their true beliefs and practices. My work as healer and an evolving
understanding of it, leads me to strongly believe that ancient peoples
had knowledge and practices that today we hardly aware of. Indeed, as
physicists, biologists etc. are slowly coming to conclusions that
validate some of the ancient beliefs, I hope humankind will return to
a more spiritual way of life, shaking off blinkered dogma and learning
to think for themselves. I hope that the core values of GCKT
will guide us to promote some of these ancient values to the world at
large.
