When I began this series of three articles on the relationship of Jesus to women I had not realized that the movie "Bloodline" would be released half way through. I have not yet seen the film but I have researched everything available on it thoroughly and am concerned to see some indications that the documentation claimed to be part of the discoveries on which the movie is based appears to be fraudulent. By that I mean I cannot see how they could have been written by a person whose native language was French, much less by an educated man such as the Abbe of Rennes-le-Chateau, Bérenger Saunière.

That being said, the courage of the movie makers in undertaking a work such as this has to be recognized. If there were ever shark-infested waters in relation to the reality and significance of Jesus, this is it, for it touches on many issues that have been for centuries, not just matters of acute sensitivity, but of absolute taboo.

When the time comes for each of you to stand forth in your own truth, it is then that you will know how committed you are to creating the new paradigm of experience. Until such a crisis time, you will not know who and what you are. Each desires to be the most it is possible to be, but desire and actuality are two entirely different realities.

Thus it is time for the "ground crew" to turn their attention from the planetary focus to the personal realm.

The Four Universal Laws as given were worded generally for the "outward" focus of the circumstances of this planet in which each has focused their awareness. It is important now to begin to grasp the concept that within this "collective, shared" awareness there exists each one's own individual awareness experience.

As I reported on yesterday, participants of James Arthur Ray’s “Spiritual Warrior Event” got more than they paid for (and they paid $9,695 each) when two people died and 19 were injured in a large sweat lodge with 64 people.

What can we learn from this?

One thing we might conclude is that all spiritual teachers or personal development gurus are bad, and should be avoided. Or that James Arthur Ray specifically is a greedy, evil person. Or that the Law of Attraction and The Secret are total bullshit. And these would indeed be ways to read the situation that have some merit. I’ve been tending to take this more cynical view of personal development and spirituality lately.
