Some comments from an editor
Mount Shasta is one of those fabled, legendary locales where mysterious tales have been handed down since before time as we know it began. Like the Bermuda Triangle or Stonehenge, there is a magic associated with this mountain in Northern California that has mystified and enchanted not just the local Native-American populace but also thousands of a certain kind of believer--the kind that believes in miracles.

"Mysteries of Mount Shasta," hot off the presses from Timothy Green Beckley of Inner Light/Global Communications, is a wonderful anthology of many different kinds of writings that focus on the paranormal peak. It is divided into six sections that approach the story of Mount Shasta from a variety of perspectives.

The opening section deals with some of the basic history of the mountain and how it came to attract such an awed following. Included is an introductory chapter by Tim Swartz that quite nicely sketches in the origins of belief in a psychic connection between the mountain and the people who have lived on its slopes. He also talks about a repository of information on Mount Shasta which has been collected and archived by a university in Weed, California.

Which ties in with a chapter written by Timothy Cridland, who presents an overview of articles from "The Los Angeles Times," going back all the way to the late 19th century, that demonstrate how seriously the straight press used to take stories of Mount Shasta, even when they involved paranormal elements like the ancient Lemurians (the Pacific Ocean equivalent of Atlantis) and bizarre alternate theories for the origin of mankind. Cridland also relates the story of traveling businessman Edward Lanser, whose 1932 article on his supernatural experiences while stopping near the mountain was also given a sympathetic treatment by the "Times." Lanser was a well known Southern California socialite, and would have nothing to gain by appearing "kooky" in the press.

The second section of "Mysteries of Mount Shasta" takes up the study of specifically occult takes on the subject. One of the more interesting is the chapter written by Wendy Lockwood, who tries to set the record straight about just who actually lives inside the mountain, hidden from the prying eyes of most of the world. Lockwood says it is the home of Enlightened Atlantean Masters, from whom there is much we can learn. There is also the story told by Guy Ballard about meeting a magnificent god-like figure in a white jeweled robe while visiting the mountain.

The metaphysical/spiritual realm is the subject of the third section, and includes contributions by a channeler called Zadessa and well known psychic Diane Tessman, who speak of the mountain's mysteries as prompted by their spirit guides. This kind of testimony from the other world is not so easy to dismiss and may be an important aspect of understanding just what the Mount Shasta phenomenon is all about.

Timothy Green Beckley himself, the book's overall editor, contributes a chapter to the section called "The Outer Space Connection," in which he discusses local tales of long-haired, blonde Venusians who have come to live on or in Mount Shasta. One of Beckley's friends and associates, Helen Spitzer, tells the story of how a UFO from another world restored her husband's lost eyesight when they were visiting the mountain with a friend.

Included in the various myths that have grown up around Mount Shasta are stories of a city hidden inside the mountain called Telos, a paradise occupied by advanced beings who call the place home. Channelers Sharula and Dianne Robbins give the input of their spirit guides who have many fascinating details to offer about just what this American Shamballah is really all about.

The final section is called "Personal Experiences." Filmmaker Poke Runyon tells the story of a visionary experience on the mountain that happened while he was making a movie on location there called "Beyond Lemuria." Strange sounds and voices were heard by writer Emma Martinelli, and New Yorker Bleu Ocean relates a spooky confrontation with the unknown while he was growing up on Mount Shasta.

Pardon my resorting to cliche, but I think it is more than apparent that "Mysteries of Mount Shasta" may indeed tell you everything you wanted to know about the mountain but were afraid to ask. The paranormal ins and outs, the history and myths, are thoroughly covered by everyone from journalists to psychics to 19th century historians to 21st century experiencers. The way the book is neatly divided into sections makes it easy to peruse at one's leisure, jumping from chapter to chapter whenever something strikes your fancy. And if reading "Mysteries of Mount Shasta" helps to affirm your belief in miracles, it's a bargain at any price, right?

Mysteries of Mount Shasta
This book has given me a lot of surprises about Mount Shasta. I really enjoy reading about it and finding out some of the mysteries surrounding this mountain.

A tour guide to worlds of wonder!
Secrets of Mt. Shasta revealed!

First I should qualify my review by stating that I am one of the contributors to this book. You'll find my offering in the `Personal Experiences' section called "An Unsurpassed Visionary Experience.' I'm not claiming that my personal visionary experience high up on America's Holy Mountain was any more profound than those of Guy Ballard (the I AM Movement) or Frederick Spencer Oliver (A Dweller on Two Planets)--- both of which are recounted in this book --- but it was certainly unsurpassed in my experience.
I gained more esoteric knowledge in 30 minutes up on the Sacred Mountain than I had in a lifetime of study and practice in the mystic arts!
I encapsulated this knowledge in the pronouncements of the Avatars of Mt. Shasta depicted in our feature film "Beyond Lemuria, the Shaver Mystery and the Secrets of Mt. Shasta." I was fortunate to have modern spiritual masters to portray the avatars: Lon Milo DuQuette is sage Hermes Trismegistus, and Paul Clark assumes the role of the Master Jesus. This science fiction adventure film is also available from Amazon on DVD.
Our film inspired the creation of this book which provides the essential spiritual and mystical history of America's Sacred Mountain. If you believe we are exaggerating the awesome power and mystery of Mt. Shasta and its caverns in our film, this book, complied and edited by the world famous authority on UFOs and the paranormal, Timothy Green Beckley, will make a believer out of you.
Here you will learn the whole story of Mt. Shasta's powerful influence on American folklore from the earliest Native American legends, through the original teachings of the Atlantean Master Phylos (featured in our film) channeled by Frederick Spencer Oliver before 1900, Guy Ballard's meeting with St. Germaine in the 1930s, Spencer Lewis' Mt. Shasta Lemurians, and the most recent revelations of Dianne Robbins and Sharula (Telos, the City Inside the Mountain), Diane Tessman (who channels `Tibus'), Wendy Lockwood's revelations, Editor-publisher Timothy Green Beckley's report on UFO activities in the area, and other inspired accounts, many of them first-hand.
Mysteries of Mt. Shasta is a great travel guide to worlds of wonder.
