Book Excerpt

A Dialogue of the Ages

 The idea of an arising of Self within us is as old as the stories of the gods themselves. That the concept should appear new in our time is a sobering reminder of how limited our culture is to the difficult questions of reality. We seem confined to differentiating between “reality” and “illusion” behind our perceptions of that special part of our natures that might be considered “spiritual” there is an unrecognized fear of the illusory. The solid ground of reality is clearly not easy to discover, and our desire for a better understanding of reality is one of the reasons for studying ancient myths.

 One of the oldest of the Hebrew myths is the story of Adam and Eve, which relates the story of the creation of humankind. By paying special attention to some of alternative translations, we may be able to discern what constitutes illusion and what is true knowledge.

 From the Upanishads of India to the dialogues of Plato, an important literary vehicle has been the presentation of ideas in the form of conversations between a pupil and teacher. We therefore propose to listen in on a conversation between two friends--Aquarius and Pisces.

Hamlet's Mill - a book exploring the effectiveness of myth in communicating through millennia


While we don't agree that all myths are based in archaeoastronomy, we do agree with de Santillana and von Dechend in their book Hamlet's Mill that myths contain information on important themes relevant to modern day societies.

Lloyd M. Dickie, Ph.D., has a Master’s degree from Yale University and a doctorate from the University of Toronto. A retired ecologist and former professor of oceanography at Dalhousie University, he has studied ancient Egypt for more than 40 years, including many active site explorations.

He has benefited from 15+ years of exploring sites of Ancient Egypt. A highlight was his participation in the 1989 detailed survey at the foot of the Sphinx in support of the water erosion hypothesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx_water_erosion_hypothesis). The excursion led to the confirmation that the Sphinx was created in the wet period of Egypt when the water erosion patterns on the enclosure were created.

LMD has been an active participant in the Gurdjieff work for sixty years and continues to contribute to the Gurdjieff Association of the Maritimes (http://www.gurdjieffmaritimes.ca/).


Paul R. Boudreau has a Master's degree from Dalhousie University. He explored fisheries ecology as a career. Ancient myths and sites have captured his imagination and attention since childhood, struggling to understand the importance of what was taught to him as fairy tales. He has been fortunate enough to travel the world and to personally experience many of man’s highest creations – both ancient and modern. Onsite exploration of Egyptian temples, tombs and pyramids demonstrated the need for more detail and precision in how we look at ourselves and our world. 

Lloyd and Paul are ecologists who have spent more than thirty-five years exploring science and myths as vehicles intended to help us understand ourselves and the world around us. Through their formal training and professional lives, they have actively worked to understand the implications of 20th/21st century physics, psychology and system theory as they relate to how we study and perceive ourselves in our world. They have made a habit of applying well-honed tools of the scientific approach to their reading and study of creation myths from various cultures.
