As I continue my studies, I am reminded of some rather mysterious things
that I have encountered over the past fifty years. I am including one such item,
that you may choose to publish or not. If you decide to publish it, please do not
mention either my name or email address. For if true, it might generate a response
on some level. This then is the story:

The Mysterious Text
Around 1980, the late Dr. Charles Arthur Muses told me a story about a mysterious
text that had been found in India in the late 1800's. The problem is that no matter
what I have tried to confirm or disprove this story, I have found nothing about the
event. I had forgotten about the story until recently when I found three news items
of interest. One was that after the Greeks set up their own government of Egypt in
Alexandria, they ordered that all papyri throughout all of the temples in Egypt were
to be sent to Alexandria to be compiled and studied. Another item was that there was
a time period in which the Knights Templars and the Ismaeliya "Assasins" were in
close contact and apparently shared information about the various surviving
fragments of lore from Ancient Greece and Egypt. And then there was an item on a
history channel television show about the formation of the EEF in England in the
1880's, that any Egyptian archaeological information was to be reviewed as to whether
or not it confirmed the Christian message. If such information was found, it was to
be routed to one group of scholars to be distributed immediately. Otherwise, the
information was automatically catalogued as being of "low priority" and could be
made available whenever anyone of the appropriate committee felt that it would be
proper.
This, then, is the story that was told me.
In Mumbai (formely Bombay), there exists a small community of Indian Ismaeliya
called the Bohra. The Ismaeliya are themselves Shia believers who believe the line
of Imams from the Prophet consists of Seven, hence they are referred to as
"Seveners" as compared to the Shia of Iran, who are referred to as "Twelvers" and
that the last Imam entered a period of "occultation"/hiddenness from which after
many hundreds of years, he will emerge and establish the True Shia line throughout
the world. Needless to say, serious conflicts have arisen between the Seveners and
the Twelvers.
Sometime in the late 1800's, a Western scholar found a copied text in the Mumbai
Bohra community that was apparently concerned with the creation of the Universe from
an extremely ancient perspective, very possibly from Egypt. The scholar took the
text and translated and then decided to publish the text and its translation. Work
continued until the effort was almost complete. Then, the writer sent an offprint
copy of the first chapter to a scholar in London. Later, that man claimed the
chapter had never been received.
What happened next was that the printing house and all of its contents were burned
and destroyed. And anyone and everyone who had the slightest contact with the
mysterious text and translated were murdered or disappeared.
Dr, Muses claimed that from his own research, he had been able to prove that the
text was concerned about the auto-generation of the God of this Multiverse but
little more. I asked him questions but he deferred those questions to a future time
when he said he would publish his conclusions.
He has since passed away without writing this. In his book "Chronotopology" he
repeated this story and retold the Ismaeliya Creation Myth explicated by the late
Henri Corbin. And in that retelling, he added some material from Parker's stuy on
the mysterious ancient texts found in the "Sacred Temple of Pharoah Taharka". But
there was no new material found.
I tell this story with the hope that someone or anyone has heard a fragment that
might help confirm or deny the validity of this story.
