BLOODLINE MYSTERY TOUR - Sept. 2010

M-Y-S-T-E-R-Y__T-O-U-R

Rennes-le-Chateau, France
Autumn Equinox
September 19-25, 2010

Rennes-le-Chateau…

A place of beauty, mystery and pilgrimage…a place of potent earth energies…a place of intrigue and questions, history and treasure. Why did Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, use the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau as the underlying basis of the bestselling novel of all time? Why does Henry Lincoln call this “The Holy Place”? And why do people from around the world flock to this tiny, remote village?

What is the real secret of this magical place? Why did Abbé Sauniére leave so many clues behind in the Church of Mary Magdalene? Who was his “housekeeper” Marie Dénarnaud and what secrets of Rennes did she take to her grave?

What exists beneath this infamous hill of ancient interest? Is it healing water enhanced with special properties? Water that could lead to an alchemical process so powerful that its use was prohibited at all costs, even when the village itself was ablaze?

Is this the burial place of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, as legend holds? And if so, why there? Of all the places on earth, why is Rennes-le-Chateau considered such a strong possibility?

You will follow Ben Hammott as he takes you through the Church of Mary Magdalene and explains how he found and deciphered clues left by the Abbé a hundred years ago. These coded clues led to more messages buried in bottles in key locations in the countryside and ultimately pointed to a buried chest containing 1st Century Jerusalemite articles as described in the final bottle clue: "The cup of Jesus and Mary, the anointing jar, and the parchment of Bigou." What was the priest Sauniere trying to tell us? Was this, as purported Priory of Sion representative Nicolas Haywood said, evidence of the marriage?"

Finally, what role does Renne-le-Chateau play in the current shift in consciousness? Some say this special place is connected to Roslin (Scotland) through the Rose Line. But what does that mean? And how does that play into the myth and legends of the area?

Come join us for a week of exploration into the past, present and future as we walk the lands in and around Rennes le Chateau, touch and drink the waters in Rennes and Alet-les-Bains, and connect with the highly charged earth energies during this special time of the Autumn Equinox.

NOTE: Optional private readings with Gloria Amendola will be available. As time will be limited, we suggest you book those private sessions early on, or before, the trip.

German Bloodline site - "Forge of Knowledge"

A couple of our German friends, Christian and Martin, have established a great German website about Bloodline. We really appreciate their support as it is always great to connect and work with others interested in the mystery. The search for the truth must go on! Below is what they had to say.

- René & Robb

German Version:

Die Entstehung der „Schmiede des Wissens“:

Hier wollen wir euch einmal einen kleinen Überblick über die Entstehung unserer Homepage geben und wie wir auf den Film „Bloodline“ aufmerksam geworden sind. Dies wollen wir mit Hilfe einer kleinen Geschichte realisieren:

Es war kurz vor Weihnachten 2008 und es schneite fürchterlich, so arbeitete Christian sich wiedermal durch sein Buch „Der heilige Gral und seine Erben“ von Henry Lincoln und Michael Beigent. Dann klingelte sein Telefon und Martin, sein bester Kumpel, war am anderen Ende der Leitung und Christian erzählte zum ersten Mal von seinem Buch und dem Interesse über das Wissen rund um die Blutlinie Jesu und das Geheimnis von Rennes Le Chateau. Martin war von Anfang an begeistert und so wurde es ein stundenlanges Telefonat, da auch Martin sehr an Geschichte allgemein interessiert ist. Früher schon hatte Martin in der Schule zudem Geschichteleistungskurs als erstes Abiturfach gewählt, was das Folgen von Christians Ausführungen erleichterte. Nach einigen Stunden Telefonat verabredeten sie sich für einen der kommenden Tage.

Bei diesem Treffen wurde dann wiederrum ausführlich das Thema rund um die Blutlinie erörtert und darüber hinaus nach Fakten und Quellen im Internet gesucht, da die Fakten aus Christians Büchern nicht mehr ausreichten. Bei diesen Internetrecherchen stießen die beiden dann auf die Website zum „Bloodline“ Film und fanden auch schnell den Trailer.

Zuerst wussten beide nicht was davon zu halten war. Handelt es sich bei „Bloodline The Movie“ um einen Hollywood Film oder doch um eine durch Fakten belegte Dokumentation? Beim weiteren lesen der Website zeigte sich jedoch das es sich wohl um eine Dokumentation mit Fakten handeln muss und nicht um einen beleglosen Hollywoodfilm! Auch war dort von Ben Hammott zu lesen und ein Link zu seiner eigenen Website. Wir fanden auf seiner Homepage auch konkrete Angaben, dass er 1999 ein Grab in der Gegend um Rennes Le Chateau gefunden hatte und dieses und andere Funde Bestandteil des „Bloodline“ Films sind. Nachdem Bens Seite komplett durchgelesen war, war es an der Zeit den „Bloodline Film“ und das Buch von Ben zu bestellen. Dann 3 Wochen später kam ein packet mit einem Absender aus den USA endlich hier in Deutschland an! Es war natürlich der Film!

Kurz darauf trafen sich beide natürlich um den Film gemeinsam zu schauen und zu analysieren. Da der Film komplett in Englisch ist musste dieser mehrfach angesehen werden um auch sicher zu sein, dass alles richtig verstanden wurde. Natürlich wurde das Buch von Ben auch gelesen und zeigte sich als gute Ergänzung zu dem Film. Auch sind die Fundorte deutlich detaillierter beschrieben als in dem Film.

Noch interessierter an der ganzen Thematik durchsuchten beide wieder das Internet und musste feststellen, dass die ganzen deutschen Websites den Film eher zerreissen und als Produkt Hollywoods darstellen. Dies war so für beide nicht nachvollziehbar. So fassten sie den Entschluss eine eigene Website zu erstellen um ihre eigene Meinung und die Richtigkeit des Films und Bens Funden als einzige deutsche Website zu vertreten. „Die Schmiede des Wissens“ war geboren!

Also begannen sie mit der aufwendigen Recherche rund um die Blutlinie Jesu und Rennes Le Chateau um Material für die Website zu erhalten. Schon im August 2009 ging die erste Version der „Schmiede des Wissens“ mit dem bis dahin zusammengetragenen Material online. Die Arbeit wurde zwischen den beiden aufgeteilt sodass Christian sich zunehmend um die Recherche und das Verfassen von Texten kümmerte und Martin sich mehr auf die Erstellung der Website konzentrierte.

Dann am 04.09.2009 war der erste Kontakt mit dem „Bloodline Team“ per E-Mail hergestellt. Es folgten viele Informationen und Material, welches die beiden weiter in ihre Homepage mit einbeziehen konnten.

Die Seite wurde dabei im Laufe der Zeit immer weiter mit Informationen und Material gefüllt und bald darauf wurde die zweite Version der „Schmiede des Wissens“ online geschaltet!

Der Kontakt zu dem „Bloodline Team“, Robb Wood und Rene Barnett wurde über die Zeit immer und immer besser.

Am 17.02.2010 wurde die „Schmiede des Wissens“ dann auf der Bloodline Website als einzige deutsche Seite mit Logo verlinkt!

Vieles weiter wird die Zukunft zeigen und die „Schmiede des Wissens“ wird sicherlich weiter wachsen und mit Sicherheit auch durch die Hilfe unserer Freunde in den USA.

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Christian und Martin

English Version:

The development of The “Forge of Knowledge”:

Here we want to give you a short overview of the development of our website “The Forge of Knowledge” and how we got involved with “Bloodline the Movie”. We would like to present it in a little tale:

It was a snowy evening in December 2008, very close to Christmas. Christian was working through the book „Holy Blood Holy Grail“ from Henry Lincoln and Michael Baigent again. The phone rang and Martin, his best friend, was on the other end of the line and Christian started to talk about the book, the bloodline of Jesus and the mystery of Rennes Le Chateau. Right from the start Martin was enthusiastic and so the phone call lasted many hours. Since Martin is very interested in history in general he had chosen History advanced course at school and made it to his first course in final secondary-school examinations. This was quite helpful to follow the arguments of Christian. After many hours at the phone they arranged to meet within the next days.

During this meeting they talked very detailed about the “Bloodline” and started to research in the internet to get some new facts and sources, since the facts the gained from Christian’s books were not sufficient to them anymore. Through this internet research they found the Website that refers to “Bloodline the Movie” and the Trailer of the film as well.

At first both didn’t know what to think about it. Is “Bloodline the Movie” a Hollywood film or a documentation with serious facts? By reading the website in detail they came to the conclusion that “Bloodline the Movie” had to be a serious documentation and not just a Hollywood movie! On this website they read the first time about Ben Hammott and found the link to his own website. There they found out that Ben discovered a grave in the area round Rennes Le Chateau in 1999 and a lot more stuff which is part of “Bloodline the Movie”. After reading everything on Ben’s website it was time to order “Bloodline the Movie” and the book from Ben Hammott. After three long weeks a package finally arrived in Germany from the USA! Certainly this had to be the film!

Later they met to watch and analyze the film together. Due to the fact that the movie is in English they had to watch it several times to be sure that they understood everything correctly. Certainly the book of Ben Hammott showed to be a nice addition in order to the film. Since it describes the places of Ben’s discoveries more detailed.

After watching the movie and reading the book they were even more interested in the topic and they started to do more internet research. They found out that all German websites dealing with that topic describe the film as a Hollywood hoax. They could not believe it. So they decided to work on their own website to illustrate their own opinion and represent the accuracy of “Bloodline the Movie” and Ben’s discoveries as first and only German website. “The Forge of Knowledge“ was born!

So they began with complex researches round about the bloodline of Jesus and Rennes Le Chateau and collected a lot of information for their website. Already in August 2009, the first version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online. Soon after that the work was split up between Christian and Martin. Christian was in charge for the researches and text writing whereas Martin concentrated on establishing and improving the website.

On September 4, 2009 they had the first mail contact with the “Bloodline Team”.The “Bloodline Team” provided a lot of information to them which was then included on the website.

The website was continuously filled with new information and other stuff. Shortly after the second version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online!

The communication with the “Bloodline Team”, Robb Wood and Rene Barnett became better and better with time.

After a long time and many hours of work the final version of “The Forge of Knowledge” went online on January 8, 2010!! This time with a brand new logo and a big community!!

On February 17, 2010, “The Forge of Knowledge” was linked on the “Bloodline website” as only German website, even with our logo!

The future will bring much more information and other stuff so “The Forge of Knowledge” will grow!! Of course also thanks to the great support of our friends from the USA.

Best regards from Germany

Christian and Martin

BLOODLINE IN TULSA

You Really CAN Go Home Again!

The Bloodline screening in Tulsa went great. It was so cool to be ‘back home’ with old friends and colleagues and also to make so many new friends.

From left: Rene regaling friends Mike McCarthy, Barbara McCarthy, and Dominique Khordoc with tales from L.A. and the Languedoc.

I have to tell you I was just a little nervous… sort of felt like Janis Joplin going back to Port Arthur… wondering if you really can’t go home again… especially when home is The Bible Belt and you’ve made a controversial film most surely to be considered heretical by most folks there.

Of course, there were old friends there as well… some of my old radio colleagues from back in the day (KAKC, the Rockin’ 97!), the Van Marens and the McCarthys… and my good buddy Myrna Avance who put me up while I was in town.

René and Myrna… BFFs!!!

I’ve been away from Oklahoma for a long time now, so I just didn’t know what to expect until I got there. But, although it was, ironically, the one city where we’ve screened Bloodline and received NO attention from the press, save a tiny article in the Tulsa World, the screening itself could not have gone better.

Unity Center of Tulsa was kind enough to let me up to the pulpit on Sunday morning to talk briefly about the film before the screening at the Circle Cinema later that night. When I got to the theater, it was reassuring to see several of the people I’d met earlier at Unity . Then I knew I was among friends.

René answers lots of questions from Tulsa Movie-goers. (AND vows never to be photographed in short sleeves again!)

It’s so interesting as we travel around with Bloodline to see how these ideas are catching on everywhere and resonating with so many people. It really does seem the world is moving faster and faster toward bigger and bigger changes.

Tulsa movie-goers... including my friend Monique Khordoc (Lower left hand corner) who drove up to Tulsa from Dallas with her husband, business man and teacher Jean-Pierre, & the lovely Michelle Wiens (lower right hand corner) who along with her husband, Circle Cinema owner Clark Wiens, hosted Bloodline

Thanks to everyone in Tulsa… especially Clark and Michelle Wiens of the Circle Cinema… for your good ol’ Oklahoma hospitality… and thanks for the offer to screen Bloodline again in the near future!

Benton Collins Relic Photo Story

You know, Bruce and I, collectively, put in a lot of years researching and producing Bloodline. It was a mutual passion that we were following. Actually, pursuing, might be a better term for it, because we were, without a doubt, totally driven as neither one of us had ever been on any other project in our careers.

Because of the undercover nature of some of the investigation, we worked almost completely in a vacuum and were totally unaware of what other people might think of the finished project.

When the film was first released last spring in New York, we were no less than blown away by the responses we received from audience members. No one was more amazed than we were at how the film, and our journey, seemed to touch people in a very deep way. It was humbling. The people we met there had a very profound effect on us. One of them was a professional photographer named Benton Collins.

Benton shot photos of our premiere and press conference. He asked if we would also like some still images of the chest and relics we found in the Languedoc which dated back to 1st Century Jerusalem.

While we were being touched by our experience with NY filmgoers, apparently Benton was being touched by the relics as he photographed them in his Manhattan studio. Below is his recollection of that day. - René Barnett

Photographing the relics was a great honor for me from any angle you wish to see it. At a minimum they have tremendous historical significance just from their certified origins of 1st century AD Jerusalem and IF the story checks out to be true, I have touched the very same cup that the Biblical Jesus had once actually held in his hands. This aspect of course holds a different meaning for everyone, ranging from the purely historical to the intensely spiritual, for me it was more of the latter.

During the shoot I had a very strange thing happen. I added a small loaf of bread behind the cup to make a simple still life. I intentionally made the light on the top of the bread very dark as I wanted the light to focus more on the cup, but on two frames during the shoot, my top light fired off much brighter than I had set it for, making the bread much lighter than I had intended. I moved on to finish the shoot and upon reviewing the erroneous frames, I was struck with how much more powerful the shots that had the brighter light on the bread were. Was this strictly equipment malfunction or could this possibly have been something more? My equipment has never done this before and has not done it since. Could this have been a divine sign? And if this really was a sign, what could it mean? The main meaning I have received from this is that the extra light was to illuminate that it was not only the 2000 year old cup that was important, but also the fresh bread that I had just picked up at the corner store with it’s here and now life giving vitality. I really do feel that God / a higher power or whatever you wish to assign, was telling me that He/She or It, is vitally present, just like the fresh bread in my still life.

It gets weirder...

Initially, this story and photo with the bread was not included in the original disc I had sent to René at the Bloodline office in California. After many weeks of Bloodline having possession of the original disc, I received an e-mail from Robb Wood, Production Coordinator at 1244 Films, asking if I could send him another one. It turned out that the original disc that I had sent them had cracked inside his computer after he had inserted it in perfect condition! (it had been read before at their office with no problem) I have handled hundreds of discs and this is the first time I have ever heard of this happening! I don't even know how it would be possible for a disc to crack inside a computer since the disc only spins. There is no physical contact (except sitting on a spindle) or uneven pressure applied to the disc of any kind in a computer drive. Very strange!

Was this a continuation of equipment malfunctions surrounding the relics or something else? I have always felt uncomfortable about not including the cup and bread still life in the original disc. Somehow, I have always felt that this photo should be shared with everyone. When I heard about the cracked disc, I took it as an opportunity and was prompted to include this still life in the new disc I sent. It is my hope that the viewer will enjoy this photo regardless of whether the extra light on the bread was ultimately caused by a rare equipment malfunction or something so grand as divine intervention. I have a feeling that time will eventually tell us the truth. – Benton Collins
