The Passion of The Christ is on the telly
by miramaze
@ Saturday, 07. Apr, 2007 - 22:19:18
I am going to have another little moan now. I am actually quite angry that there is nothing else for me to watch tonight - just when I felt like being entertained by a film.
I didn't see The Passion of the Christ " when it came out, so I thought I'd give it a go.It was interesting to hear Aramaic , the Language that Jesus spoke
http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/aramaic_language.html
Having said that , I've now switched off the telly after twenty minutes or so
sickened by all the brutality and went on to read the reviews.
" two hours of Jim Caviezel being beaten horribly. The flogging and scourging scene is shocking in its brutality for the first thirty seconds, but after ten minutes you become desensitised and it loses its impact. We then get Jesus carrying the cross up the hill, which basically amounts to him picking it up, falling over, getting whipped, and picking it up once more being repeated about a dozen times. All while leering Roman soldiers happily batter his wretched frame into mush. The level of gore is really quite shocking and despite all claims of it being a realistic portrayal, considering the Bible doesn't linger on the crucifixion that much, Gibson's decision to concentrate on gore seems crude at best. When the time comes for the nails to be hammered in, he's sure to let us see the blood spurting in dramatic arcs and one of the criminals crucified next to him even has a crow pecking at his eyes. Fun stuff."
I have to question MelGibson's reasons for concentrating on the bloood and gore. Judging by the number of violent films out there it is not too difficult to conclude that violence , blood and gore do sell .The fact that this film was awarded so many awards is also sickening. I can't help seeing Mel Gibson as the Judas figure.
Some people actually paid good money for this rubbish . Sad.
Kahlil Gibran on Death

On Death
Kahlil Gibran
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
( these words touch a deep and tender place in my heart and soul )

I like to ease in gently to the day.Sun is shining again, which is always a good thing.The waning moon last night was orange at around 2 am. caught a glimpse of it again around 5 am as it was setting.
Picked up " Ask and it is given " this morning and was drawn to these lines
Physical Body
There are no conditions that you cannot modify into something more, any more that there is painting that you cannot repaint. There are many limiting thoughts in the human environment that can make it seem that these so called incurable illnesses or unchangeable conditions cannot be changed. But , we say they are "unchangeable " because you believe they are "
--Abraham through Esther Hicks
Everything in perfect divine order

My life is in order at a very deep, peaceful level.
The stars, the moon, and the sun are all operating in perfect Divine right order. There is an order, a rhythm, and a purpose to their pathways. I am part of the Universe; therefore, I know that there is an order, a rhythm, and a purpose to my life. Sometimes my life may seem to be in chaos, and yet, in back of the chaos, I know that there is a Divine order. As I put my mind in order by choosing positive thoughts, the chaos disappears, and the order comes back. I trust that my life is really in perfect Divine right order. All is well in my world.
The Universe is in perfect order.
Louise Hay
