Compass : Christianity - A History was well worth watching last night and we get part two next Sunday at 10pm.You could say it was a bit biased towards the Jewish side of the story........ and rightly so.
The poor Jews have bourne the burdon of the whole Jesus thing for decades - the program talked about the fact that Jesus was a Jew, right up to his death ( he was crucified as the King of the Jews ). We tend to forget this fact.
Christianity only really came into being after Paul saw a vision on the road to Damascus and appointed himself the leader of the Church. Paul never met Jesus.
The program also stated that it is now thought that Judas had a very specific role in the whole Jesus story as the crucifiction was an integral part - so it is now thought that there was most probably a collaboration between Judas and Jesus for the prophecy to be fulfilled in the way that it was.
Interesting stuff which I have all read about before, but it was highlighted again last night.
Next week the program takes us to the time of Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor, and the changes he made ( incorporating so many pagan festivals and feast days and the Easter dates ).
Fascinating stuff - watch it with an open mind.

You're just another brick in the wall...
My sweet husband introduced me to the music of Pink Floyd - and I found myself listening to "Brick in the Wall" today..
Continual messages of get a wriggle on and dont waste any more time...seem to be permeating my life.
We can all be just "another brick" if we dont take a stand and make life worthwhile.
I dont want to be just another brick..
Going to visit mum tomorrow to see where she is at - I have prepared a large frame with pictures of the family that can be hung in her room, as apposed to having all the photos hidden away in the drawer..maybe she will find it comforting?
Dont know how long I will be able to be there....maybe she does not rememebr me any more?
Anyway....it will be good to see her, whatever state she is in...she will be surprised indeed.

So a hat sounds good...
Yes, a stack of straw now sits on top of my head - so if anyone has a spare scarecrow...it might come in handy to stop the crows from pecking off my ears..
Work on Chaos Headquarters is now finished and we have just some more fancy, shmancy decorating to do but the important stuff is in and we will be up and running from Tuesday ( officially ).
Unofficially, I had my first clients in today - which was a good test for the energies, noise levels, table positioning and feeling whether all of this will be feaseable and will work.
And it did....
Its a little bit like Fort Knox with a few doors to shut to get in and out of - but the security aspect is good in that way - I was the only one in the building and it felt ok...not scary or anything...actually quite nice!
Hubby even waved at me through the window on his way to the shops bless his soul...
At last my massage table gets an airing too..it has been sitting in the corner of my bedroom in its case feeling miserable....I had promised it much use and happy healing and now it can have a permanent spot in a new corner looking important!
You must come and lie on it one day!

Chaos rules!
Tormenting my hairdresser at 10pm...thats what I was doing tonight!
What was I doing at my hairdressers at 10pm?
Good question......I was looking for a miracle...
Did I find one?
Mmmmmm...no.
That would have been asking for too much.
All I got was a lovely lady trying to be kind having been asked to create a wonderous thing...but you cannot make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
Never truer words spoken.
People with grey hair should never attempt red hair colour....EVER..without professional help.
Oh well.
I can always wear a hat.

When is a palm reading just a hand job?
When your art teacher is a smarty pants, thats when!!!!!!!
I went to art class tonight and because I was not prepared ( I actually forgot the photo I work off ) I ended up talking to my teacher's wife for half the lesson and then I gave her an impromptu palm reading.....then she got Tony to get involved. ( he is skeptic extrordinaire )...
He, of course at the end of the lesson, thanked me for "the hand job"..........
He is such a shit stirrer.....

Oh, the moon ...the moon....
Have we all gone mad?
Indeed, when the moon is out we need to be aware that things are a little bit quirky...just a little bit strange out there in the big wide world.
I seemed to have spent the day talking....probably rubbish...but it was needed.
To all of those that spent some of their day listening to me.....thankyou.....you have suffered greatly.
The carpet is in, the lights are on...but there is nobody home yet.
Tomorrow, Elvis enters the building and then there will be a hunk a hunk of burning love slowly evolving.
The new Adyar bookshop by the way is absolutely wonderful.......it is in a new spot right next to the Town Hall in Sydney. I kind of think that there are just a few less books than the old shop had but still.......I could probably have bought about 20 different titles, at least!
