the ORT. Researchers investigating these orders claim to have found evidence that they are closely connected to extreme right- wing circles, particularly the Italian Propaganda Due, P2. Even if this is correct, it should be noted that from its inception the OSTS seems to have been of a totally different calibre. Indeed, it is more likely that any such links were merely the result of certain people's interest in Breyer's works and his organisation. THE SECRETS STAY HIDDEN Though numerous places claim to hold the treasure of the Templars (some as far as away as Canada), Arginy is arguably the only place where such important events have transpired. Though several people would wish that the castle, and what has transpired there, did not become public knowledge—if only because of the gruesome events that eventually led to the collective suicides of 994 and 1995—it should be remembered that what took place at Arginy had one goal: to give mankind an important revelation. In former centuries, such information was held by the secret circle within the Knights Templars. This may explain why Breyer and other key people went to Arginy in the years following 1952 and articipated in strange magical rituals: they believed Arginy held the key to something very important. Unfortunately, whatever that revelation was, it has been sup- ressed. It does seem most likely, though, that the castle holds within its walls one of the most important secrets of the Knights Templars. When this secret will be revealed—or whether it will e revealed at all—is not known. Since 1959, many people have attempted to fathom this enig- matic secret. Having lived around the castle of Arginy, I am aware that many curious, painful and sometimes dangerous things happen every time someone tries to grasp the terrible secret. Local folk- lore has it that only one person is designated and recognised by the deceased Templars to have access to them without risk to his or her life. The tradition thus reactivated, it is claimed that the Order shall rise from its ashes towards a higher and more certain glory. Perhaps the French author Robert Charroux found the key when he deciphered this passage from Breyer's book: "Think hard: the great art is Knowledge." oo About the Author & Editor: André Douzet was an architect before turning his attention to full-time research into the mysteries of France, particularly the Templars. He is the researcher who brought forward the maquette possessed by Abbé Bérenger Sauniére, the prime- mover behind the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery. Filip Coppens is an author as well as Editor of Frontier 2000, the Netherlands-based magazine specialising in UFOs, ancient mysteries and the unexplained. Note: A 60-page booklet, written about Arginy and the survival of the Templars, is now available. It contains photographs and documents, including the "Document Rubant" which details the Order's survival. The booklet can be purchased for USD$15.00 from the Netherlands contact address listed at the beginning of this article (foreign orders, add USD$5.00 sur- face mail or USD$10.00 airmail). Charles G.
