Sleep or not to sleep
It was 5am and there I was finishing an email. Now I felt very awake, so I decided to continue reading a book which I bought my father for this christmas. 'Rosslyn, Guardian of he Secrets of the Holy Grail' now this book I find rather fascinating and very inspiring. It begins with the author's personal views of the chapel, telling us of his experience of feelings when he first laid eyes on the building and it even tells you some sort of history about the chapels construction. The chapel's foundation was around 1446 by Sir William St Clair, or these days Sinclair. Sir William had two titles, Earl of Orkney and Lord of Roslin and he had another title 'Knight of the Cockle and Golden Fleece' which are two different orders of The Order of the Knights of Santiago. William was a craftsman. Anyway I continued my reading of this book at around 5.30am and I read a couple of chapters about other religious origins of religions which are not monolithic. The writer claims that these religions were somehow linked, but started at different points of the world during different time periods...What was even more interesting was when I read a chapter about the Celts, yeh those savages or were they? This book claims that the Celts were rather sophisticated in their ways, and there are more claims that they were trading with Europe and even as far as the Mid-east since there was some celt cloth found which predate the so called time of the birth of Christ and they even traded with the Phoenicians (this was all prior to the so called Roman invasion till this day is misinterperated). The Celts were farmers, miners, cloth weavers and their leaders the Druids used to be the leaders of the tribes. The Celts were tolerant and known for their hospitality (what happened to this?) and sposedly 40 tribes were bound together on the British isles. Now these people had knowledge, knowledge which was lost during the dark ages thanks to the Christian Church and forcing everyone to live by dogma and repenting for their 'sins' and only allowing few to learn the ways of our world and cosmos. What I liked about the explanation of the Celts law system was it's simplicity 'Equality of rights, equality of taxation, and freedom to come and go' but also there were these laws for those who had the right of public maintenance, the old, the babe and the foreigner who can not speak the British Tongue (at that time).
Now after reading some of this I tried to get to sleep and with all these different thoughts in my head, lucid dreams began as soon as I closed my eyes and then for me to wake again and this repeated itself. My mind must have been racing for sure as thought after thought went through my head comparing this culture to what was after the Romans and Christianity invaded around 500-600 AD and what we have now *PAX ROMANA*.
When at my work I read further about how Christianity was formed and the different misconceptions to which the Church has tried to hide possible truths and maybe this has been perverted over the course of 2000 years, who knows.
Anyway I need to finish this book cos it's got me a little hooked. There's a guy at my work from Zambia who is studying to be a minister. I hope he never comes across this book and I hope he will never read it if he does and it explains exactly what he doesnt want to know or hear due to his own faith of the Christian tradition. One isnt saying down with the Church, but what one is saying that there is no such thing as sin.
Now I've more or less explained what is in a book, a book just like the Bible. I am neither right or wrong. Though I do believe the history of this island we live on has a much more indepth and hidden meaning that what is taught in our schools, formally setup by the Church. One could say he or she has been blindfolded for no reason at all and that dogma is just bullshit and possibly 2000 years of lies.
Anyway that's my rant over about this topic, reading this did make me feel good and clear any thoughts in my head about those at my workplace who have tried to convert me to something which in it's own right is sin. ;)
