In this refreshingly iconoclastic work, author Paul Hunting goes on a quest to investigate the theory of whether William Shakespeare was far more than just ‘the Bard.’ What if he was a spiritual master with a direct line to the divine and all the plays were connected by a single golden thread? What if all the great characters were not just characters, but also characterisations of the core archetypes of human consciousness? What if all the plots were not so much about the outer world of matter and material, but the inner world of spirit? What if his final play, The Tempest, was placed first in the folio because it was both a foreshadowing and a denouement that summed up the subtext of all the other plays? What if Shakespeare was part of that great covert underground movement of artists and sages that knew there was something awry in the religions and did all they could subliminally to (a) subvert and undermine the authority, corruption, and tyranny of Church and Crown and (b) reveal the truth those in power do not wish us to know? Shakespeare’s Holy Grail helps awaken us to profound depths of spiritual enlightenment and probe deep into our own souls.

关于作者
Paul is a gifted, keenly intuitive author and coach. With a passion for the lost wisdom of the ancient mystics and sages, he has the rare ability to understand, simplify, and make practical complex cryptic systems and secret codes. He brings biblical and Shakespearean symbologies down to earth, so you can use them to transform your life today. Over twenty years ago, he had a vision of how to use horse-whispering as an experiential metaphor to enhance and accelerate authentic leadership development. He became the originator and pioneer of ‘bringing horses into the boardroom’ to transform business cultures and the lives of their leaders. His previous works include Shakespeare’s Revelation, Transforming Your Life, and Why Talk to a Guru? When you can whisper to a horse..He lives a simple, abundant, earthy life in a tiny village near Stratford-upon-Avon, England devoted to his wife, three horses, one cat, and twelve chickens. He rides and swims most days, unless he’s up all night writing about Shakespeare and the Holy Grail.
