The Gate of Remembrance: The Story of the Psychological Experiment Which Resulted in the Discovery of the Edgar Chapel at Glastonbury

An archaeological investigation combined with a psychological study written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the discovery of the Edgar Chapel at Glastonbury Abbey, exploring the intersection of automated writing and historical fact through the lens of spiritual inquiry. The book offers insights into both the history of the Abbey and the methodology employed by the author in retrieving lost architectural knowledge. The opening of the book establishes the historical significance of Glastonbury Abbey as a site of early Christian faith and scholarship, navigating through its tumultuous past marked by the dissolution of monasteries and the loss of religious relics. It introduces readers to Bond's collaboration with a friend, John Alleyne, as they employ automatic writing to unlock memories related to the Abbey's construction and subsequent transformations. This method aims to bridge the gap between modern understanding and ancient wisdom, suggesting that the residue of past spiritual energies still holds valuable insights for contemporary exploration of lost histories.
