The DaVinci Code
I am a sucka for books that are being made into movies. If a movie is coming out that I am halfway interested in seeing and it is based on a book, you can bet I am reading it. This generally causes me to 1) hate the movie and 2) love the book even more. I have even put off seeing a movie, sometimes for years as is the case with Cider House Rules, because I have yet to read the book. There it is, sitting on my bookshelf along with the other John Irving books I've never read. Which is probably the way it will stay since I don't think I could stomach a movie in which a pre Monster Charlize Theron plays opposite a pre Spiderman Tobey what's his face (who is sort of indifferent regarding turning down that hobbit role). Especially now that I know she's banging a post Queen of the Damned Stuart Townsend.
Anyway, it is a rare movie release that would make me RE-READ a book. But, alas, I have read The DaVinci Code for a second time. And just like the first time I read it a few years ago, I kept thinking "they should totally make a movie out of this." The only problem is this time I have a post everything Tom Hanks (with long hair, nonetheless) in my head as Robert Langdon.
Maybe that's why the movies end up being a disappointment to me after reading the book. Maybe I've gotten so used to my own subconscious cinematography that I sneer at someone else's version. Or maybe the movie stinks because the plot has been ruined. But I don't think so. I remember once seeing the movie Apollo 13 in the theatre (interestingly enough starring the ubiquitous Tom Hanks) and one of the teens in front of me wondered to her friend if they would get home alive. Having paid attention in history class, I knew the fate of our heroes and I was still entertained. Is there a difference between watching someone else's portrayal of fact versus fiction? Casting aside, it's not like I think I can do it better, I just miss seeing my own interpretation come to life in front of my eyes. And I don't dream of space much.
So I will sit through Mr Hanks solving riddles and racing cars, flirting with French women and fighting albino henchmen. Even though I always pictured someone smarter in the role. And hotter. Like Guy Pearce. Because that's who I'd want to see the second time around when Angels and Demons hits the box office. Maybe I'll still picture Guy when I read that book a second time.

Did you know you can get a list of people who were born on your birthday at IMDB?
October 7
Also includes deaths and marriages. Interesting, eh?
Are you ready for the Truth yet?
Now if Christians (and others) can gain the wisdom to walk away from the folly of religion and seek to understand the truth about the Creator and the Messiah (me).
Did you ever stop to think what the True Messiah would say about worshipping false names, false images, and dogma? Well, now you get the chance to hear my side of the story and weigh it against the strong delusion of faith and religion. None of the European names and images in the New Testament can possibly be the truth. What then is the purpose of "faith" but to prevent good people from seeking to understand truth and wisdom?
Read 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and the verses that surround it. Why do you think this message is in the New Testament? Those who saw the truth dying as the new Roman religion was being imposed would have tried to warn others in subtle ways where it most counted! These ancient texts are mysterious because they purposely encoded hidden messages to bypass Roman censorship. See how the Romans treated the Jews, Zealots, Gnostics, and others, a.k.a. those who sought truth because they knew better than to trust the blatantly duplicitous and evil Roman Pontificate?
How can people trust the veracity of texts created by a Roman organization known for centuries of abominable evil? How can you expect that people who could so readily torture and murder others for seeking proof of the truth would somehow not lie to you? Don't you have enough discernment to understand that those telling a strong lie for power and profit would insist that you refrain from seeking the truth and "have faith" in their texts instead?
How do we finally solve these ages-old mysteries? To recast a common political adage, "It's [the] symbology stupid!" The Dead Sea Scrolls, Bible, Gnostic texts, and Quran are rife with purposeful structured symbolism. Do you really think this is accidental or casual?
Unlike most of you, I have a very personal interest in ancient wisdom symbology, false prophecy based on its misrepresentation, and deceptions imposed in the name of religion. Consequently, I've written an extensive tome proving that all three so-called Faiths of Abraham are purposeful deceptions.
I know many readers of this site will want to scoff at this information before bothering to pay attention to the details. I have produced stunning and comprehensive proof that the original pre-Christian Apocalypse (Book of Revelation) was a symbolically encrypted wisdom text that was stolen and modified by the founders of Christianity. I demonstrate a series of specific and undeniable proofs of verifiable fraud in the Christianized Book of Revelation, which also appear throughout the New Testament.
I present verifiable proof that the symbology of sealed Hebrew texts is an advanced ancient philosophical technology.
The ancient symbolism used in The Apocalypse and other Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts predates Christianity, Judaism, modern secret societies, and mystery schools by thousands of years. While in the hands of Christianity, The Apocalypse and its symbology have been purposely misinterpreted, recast, and misrepresented. The original Hebrew document was a multi-purpose narrative constructed using layered and synchronized ancient wisdom symbolism. Its true purposes, features, and functionality are detailed in my book, further demonstrating that it was a symbolically encrypted Hebrew wisdom text encoding prophecy, philosophy, and scientific wisdom that was stolen and fraudulently modified by the founders of Christianity.
If your goal is to seek the truth, then read my articles, download my FREE E-Book and direct others to read them also. Challenge them to PROVE me wrong. The E-Book is a FREE download and I make no money from it or the paperback.
Not only do I talk the talk, I walk the walk...
Here is Wisdom!!
