New Book, The Thread of Ariadne, Ties the Epic of Gilgamesh (Iraq) and Theseus (Greek Mythology) to Biblical Jesus
College Station, TX (PRWEB) November 30, 2007 -- More than three years in the making, George Sopasakis's debut book, The Thread of Ariadne, (ISBN: 978-1-59526-826-6, Llumina Press, 2007), brings under scrutiny some surprising details embedded within four specific pivotal stories from antiquity that greatly enhance our perceptions of reality and human consciousness.
Specifically, the story of Theseus and the Minotaur is linked to the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Unique and specific comparison techniques and criteria start to emerge. Both of these story lines are subsequently linked to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The identifying criteria are fine-tuned even further, demonstrating the manner the story of the biblical Jesus retells the stories of Theseus of Athens and Gilgamesh of Uruk.
On their surface, these stories follow totally different scripts, but what ties them to the same author and message are six key ingredients which are presented in vivid detail and complexity. These same key components reveal astonishing insights unique to their original author and the embedded message itself.
The Thread of Ariadne (The TOA) begins with a basic inquiry within man, to elucidate the realm of human consciousness. The reader is provided with unique perspectives and pointed definitions addressing the concepts of information, consciousness, thought, memory, experience and time. In a tightly assembled logical sequence, one realizes that there is no such thing as objectivity. Consciousness emerges as the only true realm of existence.
As consciousness takes center stage, faith and belief pave the way to the ethereal territory of the "Far-Away." The myths of Theseus, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the "Epic of Gilgamesh" and the biblical story of Jesus, merge into a timeless vortex centered on a puzzling non-physical entity --the bull of heaven from Gilgamesh, the Minotaur from Theseus, Satan from Jesus, all one and the same, different phases of an enduring consciousness.
At the next step, The TOA entertains perceptions of reality firmly weaved into a sea of variable time. At this stage, the reader is empowered to explore and appreciate the final destination of this book, the acquisition and control of a specific reality-maker tool --the "Sword of Consciousness."
An ancient oriental system, the "way of the bow," provides intriguing clues which align Mithraism, the book of Genesis, and the Eleusinian mysteries. A suitable methodology emerges purporting to target one ultimate objective -- control.
Pre-publication Praise: "A philosophical journey into the true nature of consciousness.... intriguing ... challenging fundamental concepts about human existence ...." -- Kirkus Discoveries
"(The TOA is) enticing and engaging in its simplicity.... a thought-provoking book." -- Allbooks Reviews
