The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered.The Kolbrin is concerned with goodness and virtue, courage and mortality, spiritual ideals and human aspirations. It seeks to enshrine love in a place beyond the clamor and craving of mortal flesh, which may be enough to condemn it. The Masters can only record the results of their own searching in the Kolbrin. They discovered assurance but are unable to share it with others. If others want it, they must follow in the footsteps of the Masters, which is a long and winding road not for the faint of heart. The first step on that path is to research the required moral code and standards of conduct. The next step is to put these into action and make them the rule of life. They are the disciplines that allowed the truly enlightened ones of the past to awaken inner perception and make direct contact with The Universal Source of Truth. Only by following in their footsteps can anyone be assured of a path certain of reaching the desired goal. The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered. Some of the manuscripts were transcribed onto thin metal plates at some point and became known as 'The Bronzebook of Britain.' Manuscripts that were traditionally thought to have been copied from salvaged manuscripts that were not transcribed on metal plates and formed a work known as 'The Coelbook' are included. During the second and third decades of the twentieth century, these books were in the hands of a religious group in England that was never very powerful because membership requirements were too stringent. The Kolbrin appears to have been on the verge of extinction throughout history, but it has survived thanks to a few people who had no idea what it was all about, who were neither intellectual nor wealthy, and for whom the practicalities of life took precedence. Originally, there were twenty-one books, which were said to be twelve books of Britain, eight books of Egypt, and one of the Trojans, but their names are uncertain. Only a portion of these books remain, and it appears that much of the historical content has been removed.
The significance of what is presented here lies in what is projected from the past into the present lamentable spiritual vacuum; in the assistance it can provide to ordinary men and women, not in what it offers to the literary world. These writings must be evaluated solely on this basis. Any knowledge's worth is determined by its utility in the present moment. We know from later books of the Kolbrin that its contents had to be kept secret for centuries because they could have been misunderstood or found unacceptable. Perhaps they will fare better now.
