Book Review: The DaVinci Code
I gave into the hype. I am reading The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown.
I know, I know. I am weak. But I felt that I would probably go see the movie, in which case I would prefer to read the book, seeing as how it is somewhat esoteric subject matter.
I have to tell you that I've met some nuts who think it explains the world, blah, blah, blah.
I don't think I fall into that camp. I mean, I can see why you might think so. My college roommates did label me the "antichrist" for daring to suggest that perhaps 8 bible studies/week was a tad bit excessive for non-religious studies majors, but no. I am not all of a sudden worshipping the Goddess.
Nevertheless, I can report that it is a great book. A real page-turner that keeps you guessing. I'm almost finished and I still have no idea how it will end.
But, remember people, it is
fiction.

that's the way i look at it, too. it's a very good book, but it is, indeed, *fiction*.
as was said by a pastor in my synod [WELS], "it's good. blasphemous, but good."

Want to truly understand ancient Symbology?
I read the DaVinci Code last year as I was finishing the first edition of my own book. My take on it is different than most because I'm a real life symbologist. I just finished the second edition so you (and everyone else) can learn to understand the ancient symbolism that permeates the canons of all three Faiths of Abraham, the Gnostic texts, and serves as the background to Dan Brown’s most recent books.
What I liked about the DaVinci Code was that Mr. Brown either really understands the symbology he’s writing about or he expertly arranged the story it so it seems that he does. The book’s ending (like the Bible), which many people were puzzled by, only makes sense once you understand ancient Hebrew symbology, which very few do, (including most who say they do). Most people didn't get it because they overlooked the fact that it was about a symbologist, symbolic characters, and ancient topics that have long been mysterious because they were purposely encoded by structured symbolism. The book’s ending was symbolically encoded also and I have yet to find one person online who truly understands the full import of the book or its ending. After you read my book, the secret meanings can be understood and interpreted. Likewise, you’ll also be able to finally understand the texts of the Bible, hence the meaning of the word Apocalypse!
My comprehensive tome is a FREE download (PDF E-Book) at the following URL. It was not written about nor is it in response to the DaVinci Code. That was merely a convenient coincidence. I began my research into the truth about the ancient wisdom symbology that permeates the canons of all three faiths of Abraham and related texts before the DaVinci Code was published. The link attached to my name also has a number of relevant articles and related information.
Enjoy.
Here is Wisdom!
