The Research Behind The Lost Symbol – Part 3

In the first and second installments of this series, I mentioned the premise of The Lost Symbol and how Dan Brown built a bridge between science and ancient wisdom in just six pages. He also brought to bear the fact that there are multiple ways of knowing that are valid and promote the evolution of human thought.

Brown is known for his research. It gives him the ability to create credibility for his story. It’s exciting for readers because Brown issues an invitation for readers to do their own research and discover what’s fact and what’s fiction.

Research takes time and tenacity. Some folks have lamented that The Sage Age is too deep a read. I make no apologies for that. Education on deep topics does require some effort on the part of the student. It contains the same type of information that Dan Brown had to study in order to write The Lost Symbol.

The Sage Age is a four year education condensed into one inch of paper. Many folks think it’s over their heads until they read it. The book doesn’t assume you know anything about these topics and clearly elucidates them for you.

Following are some of the names of people, books, philosophies, and devices that Brown calls out in Chapter 15 and where they are located in The Sage Age. As you will see, the elements constantly cross over the bridge between physics and intuitive wisdom. Dan Brown used this same knowledge to create The Lost Symbol.
