Christianity is over. Not Master, but 'self' sacrificed.
The Gospel of Judas is the most important discovery in history. It bridges the gap between Eastern mystic teaching, Gnosticism, and the three Middle Eastern Abrahamic religions, informing all of them. Unfortunately, the Christianity-biased scholars assigned to its interpretation and those who have followed them do not understand it -- at all. They miss that Judas is the gnostic sacrifice, and that there is no traditional orthodox Jesus sacrificed in the original version of the narrative. Therefore, they miss the most important revelation of all time: that 'Jesus' didn't die to save anyone, and that he was in truth preceded and succeeded by other Masters of equal stature. Here from gnostic texts that only just recently arose from the desert sands of Egypt, phoenix-like, is the detailed story of how the New Testament canonical 'Betrayal of Jesus' became the inversion of the gnostic mastership installation story of James the Just, first-century savior. The true origin of the Christian message and its nullification of mystic Truth can now, at long last, be fully told.
Proof from connecting verses in the Gnostic Apocryphon and Apocalypses of James, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the Gospel of Judas to the New Testament narrative showing that Judas was James in the Canonical Inversions, both sacrifice and Master:
Apocryphon of James
"Woe to those who have seen the Son [of] Man;" (3.;17-18) > "Woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ['delivered']" (Mark 14:21) "blessed will they be who have not consorted with the man, and they who have not consorted with him, and they who have not spoken with him" (3.19-22) > "sacrifice the man" (Gospel of Judas 56.21).
"that, when I [Jesus] have come, I might ascend (again)" (14.40) > "and again he came ... Rise, let us be going" (Mark 14:40-42).
"But pay heed to the glory that awaits me" (14.26) > "When he [Judas] had gone out, Jesus said 'Now is the Son of man glorified'" (13:31).
I [Jesus] shall depart from you ... I shall strip myself" (14.33-35) > "a young man [James] followed him ... and fled naked" (Mark 14:51-52).
"And I [James] pray that the beginning may come from you [his fellow disciples], for thus I shall be capable of salvation, since they [the disciples' disciples] will be enlightened through me" (16.14-15) > "and he touched his ear and healed him" (Luke 22:51. Also John 18:9-11. Malchus is initiated by "one of those"/"one of them"/"Peter" [James], illustrating in the canon the Apocryphon of James dynamic of mastership succession. "Touching the right ear" struck by the symbolic sword of the Word is spiritually healing for "him.")
Proof from the Gnostic Apocalypses that Judas was James in the Canonical Inversions:
Compare the inversions in the canonical Betrayal of the Apocalypses of James with the inversion of Jamesian purity observances in the Dead Sea Scrolls of Pauline theology (see Dr. Robert Eisenman). The "betrayal" happens in the Gospels and in Acts 1 just when a successor to Jesus would be expected to be chosen. The "traitor" Judas in the canonical Gospels is really James the Just, successor Master to Jesus in the Gnostic Apocalypses of James, inverted tendentiously to hide his coming.
First Apocalypse of James
"I have given you a sign" (NHC 24.10) "gave them a sign" [the "kiss"]
(Matt. 26:48).
"Cup of bitterness to the sons of light" (25.15) "let this cup pass from me"
"This is the second Master" (30.25) "Those who seek enter through you"
(Second Apoc. 55.1) "I know whom I have chosen." (John 13:1 8).
"Then the disciples dispersed, but James remained in prayer" (30.25) "he
withdrew and prayed" (Luke 22:41).
"I am he who was within me" (31.15) "I know whom I have chosen" and
"I am he" (John 13:18-19).
"You have embraced and kissed me" (32.5) "He said 'Hail Master!' and
kissed him" (Matt. 26:49).
"You are aware and stopped this prayer" (32.5) "Sit here while I pray"
"The flesh is weak" (32.20) "the flesh is weak" (Matt. 26:41).
"It will receive what has been ordained for it" (32.20) "thy will be done"
"A multitude will arm themselves against you" (33.5) "band of soldiers with
weapons" (John 18:3, Mark 14:43).
"Seize you" (33.5) "seized him" (Matt. 26:48, 50, John 18:12)
"In particular, three of them will seize you." (33.5) "A band of soldiers, their captain, and their officers seized Jesus." (John 18:12) "... chief priests, scribes and elders" (Mark 14:43, Luke 22.52).
"When you come into their power, their guard will call to you." (33.13-14) "Whom do you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." (John 18:4-5)
"You are to say to him, "I AM a son, and I AM from the Father." (33.16-17) "I am he." (John 18:6)
Second Apocalypse of James
"I am he [twice] who was first summoned by the Great One ...who stripped himself and went about naked" (2 Apoc. 46.15) "I am he." (John 18:8), "stripped him, put his own clothes on him" (Matt. 27:31) "As a brother he was sought" (46.20) "Whom do you seek?" (John 18:7). "For just as you are the first, having clothed yourself, you are the first who will strip himself" (2 Apoc. 56.10)
"He is the one who will come ... He was the virgin, stripped and rising naked" (2 Apoc. 58.10-20) "And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body, and they seized him, but he leftthe linen cloth and fled naked" Mark 14:51-2) and "stripped him, and led him away to crucify him" (Matt. 27:31)
"Hail, my brother, hail!" (2 Apoc. 50.10) Hail, Master!" (Matt. 26:49). This is a very important match. It shows that the gnostic version is earlier. Later developed theology of the virgin birth dictated that it must read "Hail, MASTER!" instead of "Hail, Brother!"
"Bring me from a tomb alive" (2 Apoc. 63.5) "He is not here. for he has risen," "risen from the dead," and "tomb" (Matt. 28:6-8).
In most cases in these parallel occurrences, the order is roughly the same: the sign, the bitter cup, "on a rock," "the flesh is weak,"thy will,"what is ordained," "Hail!" and then the kiss, an "armed multitude" coming (John 18), "naked," and then "fleeing" (up, in spirit).
Apocalypse of Peter
"He [Jesus] was about to reprove you [Peter] three times in this night" (Apoc. Peter 72.3, final line of first paragraph).
This passage is about Peter denied inner vision of the Master in his meditation. It is inverted into a denial of JESUS, BY Peter in all four canonical Gospels. Three elements: the denial, three times, and "in this night" cannot be coincidence.
"Crowning" of light (71.30) "Soldiers plaited a crown of thorns" (John 19:2).
Gospel of Judas
Passover setting in both texts. Main character "walking" and "twelve disciples" called.
"Apophasis Logos" is "Word" in John 1.
"Anami Desh" (Sant Mat's "No name region" - see Sar Bachan) is "region never called by any name" (47.13)
"You will be replaced by someone" (36.1). Matthias isn't mentioned as he is in Acts 1. This is Judas merging into Jesus.
"You will not be able to go there but will grieve a great deal" (35.20) "woe to the one who delivers me" (Matt. 26:24).
"You will be replaced by someone in order that the twelve [elements] may again come to completion in their god." (36.1-3) "I tell you this now before it takes place; so that when it does take place you will know that I am he." (John 13:19).
"For your sake they will reign and become Kings" (2 Apoc. 56.5), "generation with no King" (Gospel of Judas 53.24).
"You stirred up wrath against yourself" (1 Apoc. 32.10), "Your wrath has been kindled" (56.23 -- shows Judas was James).
"You will exceed them all, you will sacrifice the man who bears me" (56.20), "Woe to that man who delivers me" (Matt. 26:24). This is Judas sacrificing himself; the "woe to that man" is his sacrifice of himself, merging into his Master!

Misreading Judas: How Biblical Scholars Missed the Biggest Story of All Time
by Robert Wahler
NABE Pinnacle Book Achievement Award winner for nonfiction 2018
U. S. Review of Books
reviewed by Donna Ford
"Please, everyone, read the Gospel of Judas as the Gnostic text that it is. Stop importing a New Testament bias into it."
Lost for 1,700 years, the Gospel of Judas has an approximate origin in the 2nd century and was found preserved in an Egyptian cave. The Coptic language text was written by Gnostic Christians and elevates Judas from traitor to teacher of sacred mysteries. While this find has been touted as a great revelation, early Christians labeled it heresy.
Wahler defines self-sacrifice as the goal of Gnosticism. According to the book, when Jesus and Judas spoke together before the handover to Jewish leaders, their conversation concerned the personal sacrifice of Judas to become one with the Master. This would occur through the mystic practice of the Name (Logos, the presence of the divine). There is no mention of betrayal in this history. The author goes on to explain that a Gnostic Master is succeeded by the installation of another. Using New Testament text, he establishes the claim that the Apostle James became the Master following Jesus' death.
With the popularity of Dan Brown's pulse-racing books, including The Da Vinci Code, some who question the Christian interpretation of the New Testament gospels are now accepting the Gnostic viewpoint. Even the Jewish scholar Hyam Maccoby concurs in rejecting the idea of Judas as a traitor with Jewish involvement. This 103-page book is the author's call to fellow researchers of Biblical texts to join him in validating the Gospel of Judas' place in history. His own thorough research results are meticulously presented, comparing Nag Hammadi Library codes in Gnostic text to chapter and verse of Christian works to prove controversial points. Also included is a substantial bibliography.
A revelatory interpretation of the Gospel of Judas.
In this book, Wahler (The Bible Says "Saviors," 2009) surveys the existing literature on an early gnostic Gospel that features Judas Iscariot as its main character, and he finds it lacking. He maintains that the Gospel's underlying narrative has been misread by biblical scholars, and he ascribes their errors to two main factors: a nearly unthinking deference to the orthodox New Testament texts (great chunks of which he dismisses as "Pauline propaganda"), and a scholarly ignorance of mystic gnostic traditions and their relationship to the canonical Gospels: "Is there no awareness in the ivy-covered academic halls of the long and storied tradition of the Eastern mystics?" he asks. Wahler provides an invaluable verse-by-verse close-reading of the Gospel of Judas and then widens his view to include other key works from the Nag Hammadi library of gnostic texts and, eventually, the canonical Gospels themselves. Along the way, he asks key questions, such as "who is this character, Judas? Is he the man that Paul never mentioned, the one he never knew, just like the Jesus he never knew?" Some of his answers to these questions are revolutionary ; for instance, he contends that the bulk of the New Testament amounts to a conscious coverup of the incendiary contents of the Judas Gospel, in which, he says, Judas essentially spiritually transforms from man to Messiah, supplanting Jesus. This is a comparatively short but densely packed exposition of a breadth of material that the Christian church has deemed apocryphal. Wahler offers readers very little in the way of introductory context, and many readers may wish that he'd slowed down at times to provide more explanatory information. However, his fellow experts will find thrilling, deep thought in these pages.
A tightly argued presentation of an explosive, Judas-centered counter-narrative.
Blueink Review
Is it possible that orthodox Christianity is based on a lie? For Robert Wahler, the answer is an unequivocal yes, an argument he pursues in his new book.
The evidence for this radical idea, the author notes, can be found in the Gospel of Judas. This recently rediscovered manuscript paints Judas, not as a betrayer, but as an heroic figure.
Wahler believes there's even more to this story: that this text needs to be read, not in light of modern Christian scholarship, but through the lens of Gnosticism (in which it was written) with a focus on Western and Eastern mysticism traditions. The author argues that the obscure manuscript provides evidence of bait and switch, namely that Judas was a stand-in, or alias, for James the Just, whom the author believes is the true successor of Christ (which undermines St. Paul's role in the development of the Church). Moreover, the text reveals hidden truths about the metaphysical nature of sacrifice and inner work that needs to be done to reach higher levels of consciousness.
This is all heady stuff, and for those not well versed in Gnostic thought, the author's exegesis of the text can be challenging. Yet, Wahler makes a valiant attempt to unpack the text, acting like a semiotics detective, exploring symbolism, and sometimes offering line-by-line commentary of ancient texts.
In his exuberance, however, Wahler's prose can turn dense and awkward, making his meaning hard to discern (e.g. : "The disciples ask that they be granted not to be tempted at 4:30, the same as Jesus tells them to 'watch and pray that you enter not into temptation.'").
As Wahler admits here, most scholars will balk at his claims. Still, the author's ideas are well-argued with citations, and while Misreading Judas sits outside the mainstream, it does provide an thought-provoking, if challenging, alternative look at Christianity.

Official Review: Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler
Post by Eva Darrington » 01 Aug 2018
What if someone provided proof that our long-held beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth were incorrect? Author Robert Wahler is attempting to do just that with his 2016 non-fiction book, Misreading Judas: How Biblical Scholars Missed the Biggest Story of All Time. The author's thesis offers a new interpretation of the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Wahler asserts the story of Judas was not a betrayal and sacrifice of Jesus at all but rather a self-sacrifice by Judas as part of the Gnostic tradition called mastership succession. The author's research holds both Jesus and Judas in a very different light from that of orthodox religious teachings. Could Jesus really have been merely one in a succession of many spiritual Masters?
The Gnostic Gospel of Judas was likely composed by second-century Gnostic Christians. The surprisingly intact papyrus containing the text first surfaced publicly in 1970. It reveals conversations between Jesus and Judas Iscariot. Wahler claims no one has correctly translated the Gospel of Judas until his research emerged. He faults the Christian scholars who initially interpreted the text, saying they were ignorant to the Gnostic orientation necessary to adequately understand the ancient writings. In Eastern spiritual traditions, mysticism is the practice of spiritual knowing (gnosis) through meditation and other vehicles for merging with Spirit. A longtime student of Eastern mysticism, Wahler insists the story of Judas and all of the Gnostic Gospels must be interpreted through the lens of mysticism.
In addition to Gnostic texts and the New Testament, Wahler's comparative analysis draws from the work of Eastern spiritual teacher Maharaj Charan Singh. From this viewpoint, Wahler contends when Jesus tells Judas to "sacrifice the man who bears me," he is referring to a mystical sacrifice, not the physical sacrifice of Jesus. In the mystical interpretation, Jesus is telling Judas that he (Judas) will sacrifice his individual self to become one with his spiritual Master. This form of self-sacrifice is a traditional practice by the Gnostics of that time. In addition, the author asserts that Judas is the same person as the lesser-known apostle, James the Just. If they are one in the same, according to Wahler, then the Judas-as-betrayer story was a cover for what really happened: James (Judas) succeeded Jesus as Master.
Robert Wahler maintains that the mystical self-sacrifice by Judas, and his subsequent mastership, was misinterpreted and "inverted" by biblical scholars to hide the uncomfortable truth that other great Masters preceded and succeeded Jesus. The simple existence of a succession of Masters through self-sacrifice challenges the conventional knowledge of Jesus' role in history. Wahler is not saying that Jesus wasn't a prophet and great spiritual Master. He is saying Jesus wasn't the only one and that he didn't die for anyone's sins. Wahler challenges, "There is no reason to think that the New Testament canon is the original text of the story of the first-century Master, Jesus Christ."
For a relatively short book, 102 pages, Misreading Judas delivers volumes worth of sound comparative analysis. It is packed with quotations and line-by-line examination. I thought I might tire of the density but found I was fascinated by Wahler's methods and conclusions. Misreading Judas is not an easy read but is worth the effort. Some of the logic is complicated but at the same time convincing.
Wahler's writing is clear and easy to follow. The book's organization facilitates the reader's understanding of the material. Divided into four sections, the book traverses The Gospel of Judas, The Nag Hammadi Library, The New Testament, and resources on mystic readings of scriptures. Considering the complex punctuation required for the dense quotations, parenthetical and bracketed insertions, I was surprised that there were so few errors. The editor gave impeccable attention to precision in grammar and punctuation. A summary at the end of the book reviews the passages of text that directly support the thesis. Both the summary and Wahler's concluding remarks help to connect the dots. Note: In deference to Eastern mysticism, Robert Wahler capitalizes the word "Master" in his book. I have done the same for consistency.
Wahler is not entirely alone in his progressive positions. Some cursory research on my part revealed that there is growing consensus among religious scholars for Wahler's view of Judas as beloved and obedient disciple, rather than betrayer. The author's belief in the succession of Masters is, however, another story. This is where he is out on a limb. Save non-Christians and very progressive theologians, support for this conclusion is less enthusiastic, to be sure.
I rate Misreading Judas: How Biblical Scholars Missed the Biggest Story of All Time 4 out of 4 stars. If you are open-minded and are interested in biblical history or Eastern mysticism, I think you will be fast captivated by this book. If you are outraged by Wahler's conclusions, you might enjoy being engaged in what can only be described as the debate of the millennia.
The author is a life-long seeker and spiritual practitioner. A devoted Evangelical Christian for two years in the early '70's, the discovery of mystic Masters of the East changed everything. Now the mysticism that is the biblical Way became clear. Since 1975, the author has been a Satsangi with the Radha Soami Satsang Beas, of Beas, India. (www.rssb.org)
The main finding of this research is that the climax passage of the Gospel of Judas "you will exceed them all, for you will sacrifice the man who bears me" is Judas sacrificing himself, not Jesus sacrificed, and that he is really a cover for the successor Master as shown in the Apocalypses of James. This pivotal line of the Gospel of Judas is 56,20, in answer to, "What will those who have been baptized in your Name do?" (The 'Name' is Word.) Next line: "Tomorrow they will torment the one who bears me," followed by "you will exceed them all, for you will sacrifice the man who bears me" -- no change in subject! Jesus is answering the question Judas has asked him by telling him that he will sacrifice himself spiritually, not Jesus sacrificed bodily.
The gnostic tradition preceded the canon. There is no Matthias in the Gospel of Judas where he should be in it if the canon preceded the Gospel of Judas (36.1). Instead, "Someone else" will replace Judas. This is the origin of the "Betrayal" myth. Judas is the spiritual sacrifice, and Jesus is never betrayed. Judas 'delivers' himself, he does not 'betray' anyone. "Hail, BROTHER!" in the gnostic First Apocalypse of James in place of the canonical "Hail, Master!" shows that a later virgin-birth theology influenced the canon and primacy for the gnostic version of the story, which was originally one of mastership installation of James the Just, not betrayal of Christ by Judas. The nascent Pauline Church was trying (successfully) to hide that there was a successor. There normally is, even today.
The Acts 1 replacement of Judas has 'Judas' in place of James, falling "headlong" (James falls from the Temple wall in the Pseudoclementine Recognitions 1.70, thrown by "Saul" or Paul). The "vision" that Judas experiences in the Gospel of Judas (44.15-45.2) is of himself stoned by "the Twelve" (other disciples). The only character stoned by fellow disciples in the first century that we know of was James the Just. After being thrown from the wall, he is not killed, but is beaten to death by Saul and his followers. See Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus. Paul is the Spouter of Lying in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and in the Pseudoclementine Recognitions 1.70 he kills James. Not a pretty picture. But this is the right way to read the story. This is what really happened.
Joseph Barsabbas Justus covers James the Just as the 'defeated' candidate in Acts 1:23.
The election (by 'lots' from Acts 1) is for "episcopate of Jerusalem" (from the Church Fathers); Acts 1:20 says "his office let another take" (Psalm 109:8), but an Apostle is not an "office": episcopate is.
Not only this about Judas covering James, but 'Stephen' -- yet another fictional Gospel character -- covers for James. Dr. Eisenman relates all the amazing details of Paul and his attack on and murder of James in this Acts 7 story of the prototypical 'Christian,' Stephen, in chapter sixteen of his book just mentioned above.
James is given "the bread" by a risen Jesus in the Gospel of the Hebrews, noted by a number of early Church fathers -- not Judas, as in the Betrayal story.
That Judas is fictional and covers James, a known prominent religious figure of his time-- preeminent actually- casts doubt on the historicity of Jesus as well, since neither one is known to either history (Josephus) or to Paul (both these sources are suspected of later Christian interpolation). The fact that the central train of events in the Gospel story is set in motion BY A LITERARY INVENTION and that the most prominent citizen of the day is minimized out of existence means that this is an early Church or "proto-orthodox" coverup of monumental proportions. James was A MASTER. HE was the savior of his day, not Jesus. John the Baptist, James the Just, Simeon Cleophus (Simon Peter) were the line, Masters all.
It is not possible to overstate the impact of these discoveries. Quite simply, this the greatest revelation in all history. In just one cache of documents we can now see that the two greatest religions of history are embellishment of mysticism. This impacts everyone in the world personally, and the world and societies in general, so pervasive are the influences of Islam and Christianity. When you have garbage in you get garbage out. I don't mean to insult anyone, but the teachings of these two religions are simply not true. They are remakes and overlays of the truth of mystic teaching.
By the way, I said that the true origin of the Christian message and its nullification of mystic Truth can now be fully told, not that I had done it. What I have done is point the way. I believe I am correct in all I say about it, but there always seems to be more to learn. This is a call to scholars and amateurs alike to join me in finishing the story. I don't know Coptic! or even Greek! Help me out. I would love to be part of a translation team to do the Gospel of Judas the justice it deserves. Then we can tackle the rest of the Nag Hammadi collection. And what a treasure trove it is!
SBL Annual Meeting abstract submission (2/15/18, paper later rejected for admission)
The recovery of the Nag Hammadi/Al Minya gnostic texts is the most important discovery in history. We now have period documents proving that the gnostic story of mastership succession and the sacrifice of James --- as 'Judas' -- is the origin of the canonical 'Betrayal of Christ' narrative. Comparing the gnostic Apocalypses of Nag Hammadi to the Four Gospels reveals the monumental revelation that James the Just was inverted as 'Judas,' the Pauline proto-orthodoxy contriving the device of "Judas the traitor" as a way to hide James's personal self-sacrifice and mastership. In the Gospel of Judas, Judas has his vision of being stoned by fellow disciples, an event known to have befallen only James in period sources. A new page 55 fragment shows, "Israel will come ..." leading believers out of worldly bondage, in a likely allusion to Jacob, Greek for "James" -- not the Genesis Patriarch, but a redeemer James who "will come."
All of the following gnostic passages about James's mastership installation have been installed into the canon, usually reversed tendentiously from their mystic original reading, but roughly in order, to apply to the Judas betrayal of Christ: "I have given you a sign;" "walking on a mountain;" "prayer on a rock;" "three times you have told us to become full;" "I know whom I have chosen;" "he who ate my bread;" "the flesh is weak;" the kiss (inverted from a kiss of life to a kiss of death); "stripped and rising naked;" "a multitude will arm themselves against you;" "in particular three of them will seize you;" the three denials of Peter, and more. Second Apocalypse of James, "Hail my brother, my brother, hail," became, "Hail, Master!" in Matthew, proving that the gnostic version came first, since virgin-birth theology came late in the development of the canon.
The New Testament canon was a successful attempt by the proto-orthodoxy to hide that there was a successor Master -- James -- who had come to, most likely, take on the ministry of John the Baptist. Judas, and very possibly Jesus, were fictional inventions by Gospel authors to hide that there was a succession of saviors coming to offer a living salvation -- like it says in red-letter quotations of John 6:35-40 and 9:1-5 (Codex Sinaiticus, "sent US") -- not the cult of the dead as taught by Paul in Romans 10:9-13. Famous John 3:16 isn't even about Jesus at all, but the Son as Spirit 'given,' in past tense, to John the Baptist and others. Mark 10:45 is the granting of 'Life' (Gr.,"psuchen") as a ransom to the archons, not a human body sacrifice to a vengeful God. A death ransom of the Master would have been offered to 'all,' not 'to many' -- whether accepted or not. A careful study of modern mystic sources, many written by recently living Masters, some English speaking, is the spiritual Rosetta Stone to unlocking the real story of salvation.
Featured Official Review: The Bible says Saviors -- Obadiah 1:21 [by the author of the May Book of the Month]
Post by EvaDar » 24 Feb 2019, 18:32
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Bible says Saviors -- Obadiah 1:21" by Robert Wahler.]
"The Bible is not the Word of God. The Holy Spirit is" (p 13). This assertion is the basis of Robert Wahler's bold interpretation of Christian religious history. Wahler, a life-long follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ, examines the Bible, using newly discovered ancient documents to uncover significant untruths in the holy talisman. The Bible says "Saviors" – Obadiah 1:21 offers evidence that Jesus was not the one and only Lord and Savior. Wahler guides the reader through an extensive analysis revealing that John the Baptist and James the Just were also saviors, as part of a traditional succession of many masters.
Recent discoveries of ancient Gnostic texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Gospel of Judas, and the Nag Hammadi Library provide Wahler with ample evidence of mistranslation, misinterpretation, and an early Pauline church with cause to conceal the truth, in favor of Jesus as sole Lord and Savior. The author's analysis of three versions of the Holy Bible reveals the existence of dozens of additional masters, one even more prominent in history than Jesus.
Wahler's research reiterates the fact that The Bible, taken as absolute truth by many, is often distilled from "translations of translations of copies" (p13) of recollections of original oral versions, sometimes recounted years after they were spoken. The material is meant to be understood non-literally, through the context of mysticism. An incorrectly translated tense, word, or even letter, can affect the meaning of an entire verse. The Bible says "Saviors" succeeds at assembling evidence of a Bible several times removed from the truth, and flawed, due to both misinterpretation and intentional obfuscation. It was, in fact, some of the very authors of the scriptures who deceived through their writings. Wahler's book reveals why the important role of Jesus' brother James was completely omitted from the Bible and who played the villain who benefitted from erasing James' existence.
I was riveted by much of this book. It felt important that Wahler dissected the Bible with allegiance to the language of the original period, noting inconsistencies born of careless reliance on contemporary overlays. I think readers will find the analysis of John 3:16 and countless other verses to reflect some fascinating departures from conventional understanding. I appreciate that Wahler draws from seasoned Biblical scholars to build his case for textual inaccuracies. Robert Eisenman's and Bart Ehrman's scholarly New Testament work, as well as James Tabor's analysis of the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, provide some scaffolding for the book, but Wahler adeptly connects the elements to reach his conclusions.
I brushed up on reference punctuation to review this book. I detected only a couple of minor errors. It proved to be somewhat challenging to identify small errors amid the density of punctuation elements required for Wahler's complex in-text referencing style, but I am confident that the book is professionally edited for grammar and punctuation.
The Introduction and Conclusion outline the book's primary assertions with great clarity, helping the reader stay oriented to the complex material. The book might benefit from a bit more content editing. The author introduces labyrinthine concepts that sometimes want for context. Important takeaways may be revealed miles from the evidence presented, so the thread between the two can get lost. But don't be discouraged. The book is well worth a couple of evenings of attention, to gain an understanding of the material.
I award The Bible says "Saviors" – Obadiah 1:21 with a rating of 4 out of 4 stars for its impeccable research, analytical excellence, and revolutionary conclusions. While the content was dense at times, I know this was necessary for the author's comprehensive argument.
Openminded followers of any religion or wisdom tradition, as well as students of comparative religion, will enjoy this book. Jewish readers and those familiar with the Gnostic Gospels will recognize some of the conclusions and appreciate the explorations. I think Christians open to a mystical interpretation of the Bible will appreciate the material. Orthodox thinkers will likely be challenged by Wahler's entire position, but I don't discourage these readers. I was raised with very traditional Christian teachings, and I find Wahler's perspectives enlightening, even if provocative. What I recall from my study of neuropsychology is that exposure to information that challenges our preconceptions enhances our intelligence and bolsters our personal wisdom. The Bible says "Saviors" will not only surprise you - it may make you smarter.

For example, a lobbyist may call a legislator and urge him/her to vote for a bill that, if passed, would favor the industry or interests of lobbyist's client. Lobbying can be a lucrative business.

U.S. Senate Blocks Amendments To Devastating Cryptocurrency Rule Change
(RepublicanInformer.com)- A new cryptocurrency rule change has been halted for now after an amendment in the U.S. Senate was blocked by Republican Senator Richard Shelby.
Shelby, from Alabama, attempted to attach a proposal that would boost spending on the military by $50 billion to a bipartisan amendment to the bill. But, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was having none of it, and he blocked Shelby's proposal.
Following Sanders' move, Delaware Democratic Senator Tom Carper tried to introduce that amendment once again, but it was once again blocked as Shelby tried to attach his proposal to it.
That put to an end the bipartisan amendment that was originally put forward by Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. The amendment would have ended up redefining who would be subject to the new regulation requirements for cryptocurrency, as part of the Senate's infrastructure bill.
The amendment was co-sponsored by Democrats Krysten Sinema and Mark Warner, as well as Republicans Cynthia Lummis and Rob Portman. It also had the support of the Treasury Department.
Following the impasse vote on Monday, Toomey said he was disgusted by the outcome. On the Senate floor, he said:
"Because there's a difference of opinion on whether or not the senator from Alabama should get a vote on his amendment, because that is not agreed to, the body is refusing to take up an amendment that has broad bipartisan support, that we all know fixes something that badly needs to be fixed.
"This isn't like a whim of the senator from Pennsylvania. There's like nobody who disputes that there's a problem here."
The amendment called to redefine who "brokers" were in the infrastructure bill so that transaction validators and software developers wouldn't be subject to the new cryptocurrency reporting requirements.
Leaders in the industry said the current definition of a "broker" according to the infrastructure bill would incorrectly put miners and software developers into the bank of entities who were subject to the new requirements. They say that these entities wouldn't even have access to the data that the bill would've required them to report.
One senator who was in favor of the amendment was Texas Republican Ted Cruz, who said the original "overly broad definition" would "block rapid innovation in cryptocurrencies" as well as "endanger the privacy" of all Americans.
Cruz then attempted to receive approval for a different amendment that would cut the language for the requirements altogether from the bill.
The problem is that Cruz objected to Shelby's military spending addition, so Shelby then blocked Cruz's own amendment.
This leaves the Senate at an impasse of where to go from here. Democratic Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon tried to propose a separate amendment, but the Biden administration said it wouldn't support that one.
Now, it's unclear where the Senate will go from here, but there are definitely roadblocks on the way to a bipartisan approval of the infrastructure bill.

Q: Associated Legendre Polynomials recurrence relations I am trying to find the following recurrence relation for these polynomials concerning its derivative:
$$(1-x^2)\frac{dP_l^m}{dx}=-lxP_l^m+(l+m)P_{l-1}^m$$
employing the generating function:
$$T_m(x,s)=\frac{(2m)!(1-x^2)^{m/2}s^m}{2^mm!(1-2xs+x^2)^{m+1/2}}=\displaystyle\sum_{l=m}^\infty P_l^ms^l$$
and the next relation:
$$(2l+1)xP_l^m=(l-m+1)P_{l+1}^m+(l+m)P_{l-1}^m$$
but the only expression I get is one concerning two derivatives (which also seems to be wrong):
$$(1-x^2)\frac{2m-1}{l+m}\frac{dP_{l+1}^m}{dx}+(1-x^2)x\frac{(1-2m)}{l+m}\frac{dP_l^m}{dx}=\\
=-mxP_{l+1}^m+(2m-x^2+1-\frac{(2l+1)(1-x^2)}{l+m})P_l^m-mxP_{l-1}^m$$
Could anyone help me?

MUSCLE SHOALS, AL (WAFF) - Donating your organs can change lives.
For a former Alabama Law Enforcement officer his generous spirit lives through his organ donations following his untimely death. His family is now getting the opportunity to share his story across the nation.
Brian Faulkner committed his life to public service through law enforcement, dedicating himself to not only his family, but his community. Faulkner died in March of 2014 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash.
"He was always finding a way to help anybody he could and that's just makes me really happy to know he's still able to help people when he's not here," said son Blake Faulkner.
His wife Heather said her husband was a planner "he had things planned out. He knew that once he left this earth that he wanted to give somebody else the chance of a better life."
One of his plans included organ donation. Continue reading

Warren Smith is giving techincal ski advice during his academy's tour across the UK and we caught him at Ellis Brigham in Covent Garden.
He gives tips on getting the right boot fitted to exposing your weak points and giving pointers and exercises we can do at home, pre-season so we can improve.
The tests seem simple, but what they can show (in our case definitely) are basic issues that can affect our skiing in a big way.
Problems that we can work on before getting out onto the snow.
We spend a small fortune on our ski holidays and so many of us don't take basic steps before we hit the snow that'll help our bodies prepare and ultimately setting us up to get the most out of our skiing.
Warren and his team have devised three easy tests to show us what we might need to work on to get a better ski performance.
Do you know how flexible your calf muscles are?
How much flex you can get out of your ankle with a ski boot on?
Each year we attend, and each year we panic having not kept up with our special exercises.
Especially when we see how these small adjustments can affect an overall performance when technically explained on the big screen.
But all is not lost - Warren is touring for a few more days.
You can use the Eventbrite page here to book your place.
Warren intends to create awareness of each skier's issues.
The solution is often easy.
The right kind of stretching, as - annoyingly with skiing - even if we are fit or flexible or strong it often doesn't automatically mean that we are those things when it comes to skiing, so different are the muscles used.
So if you can, make it down to one of his workshops.
Get the best out of your ski holiday this year.


The enthusiasm with which hikers flocked to the Appalachian Trail in its earliest days is testimony to the rapid growth of what historian Silas Chamberlin calls "club-based hiking" in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. Although Benton MacKaye saw the Appalachian Trail as a place where working class people from the cities of the eastern seaboard would come for a day or two of restorative exercise, in reality, the Trail was largely the preserve of white middle-class hikers. What it was not, however, was a place mostly for men. From the earliest days of the Trail's existence, it was a popular destination for women as well as men, and a number of the early Trail clubs had rules that required their membership to be evenly split between men and women. What these men and women shared was an enthusiasm for vigorous walking, for the mountains, and for the chance to walk with others who shared their love of the outdoors.
Ever since the founding of the Appalachian Trail, the vast majority of its users have been day hikers, out for a few hours, or full a full day in the forest. But from its earliest days, the Trail was also a place for overnight, often long-distance backpackers, who carried everything they needed on their backs. The trail hiked by those early backpackers was often difficult to follow, either because it was poorly blazed, because the Trail was regularly rerouted and so guidebooks were often out of date, or because sections of the Trail were well maintained in some areas and not well maintained in others. By the 1950s, however, the various trail clubs had significantly improved their care and maintenance of the Trail and so backpackers found it increasingly easy to find their way north or south along the Trail.
The gear and supplies carried by backpackers from the first decades of the Trail's existence was remarkably similar to what backpackers carry today, with a few exceptions. Modern backpacking gear is much lighter and much more comfortable, dehydrated or freeze dried foods have replaced the pounds of sugar, slabs of bacon, cans of condensed milk, and cornmeal carried by early hikers, and almost no hiker today walks the Appalachian Trail with an axe strapped to their pack. Sleeping bags are substantially lighter and more compact.
Butane, white gas, or alcohol stoves have replaced frying pans over cooking fires, and quick drying synthetic fabrics have replaced cotton and wool clothing. External frame packs made their appearance in 1952, and internal frame packs first hit the market in 1973. Despite all these innovations in gear, recommendations to hikers about what to carry in 1938 look remarkably similar to the recommendations one might see in 2018.
Since the early 1970s, the phenomenon known as "thru hiking" has come to dominate the way people think about hiking hte Appalachian Trail, but it was never the intention of Benton MacKaye or any of the founders of the Appalachian Trail that someone would walk the entire Trail in one year. The first person to walk every step of the Trail was Myron Avery, who did so in his role as chief architect of the project. After Avery, three members of the Philadelphia Trail Club hiked the entire Trail between 1932-1939 in sections because they wanted to complete it all.
The first person to walk the entire Trail in one hiking season was Earl Shaffer, a veteran of World War II, who set out to "walk off the war" in the summer of 1948. Shaffer's achievement was so unusual that the leaders of the ATC were highly skeptical that he had actually managed to hike the entire Trail and they quizzed him at length before finally agreeing that he had, indeed, hiked it all. It would be another three years before someone else would manage what became known as a "thru hike," and in that year (1951), three men hiked from Georgia to Maine or from Maine to Georgia. The following year, Mildred Norman Ryder became the first woman to thru hike the Trail, and three years later, Emma "Grandma" Gatewood completed what may be the most famous thru hike of them all at age 67, becoming the first woman to thru hike the Trail alone.
Throughout the 1950s and the early 1960s, hiking the entire Trail in one year was an achievement limited to a just a few hikers each year. But by the end of the 1960s, the number of thru hikers began to grow rapidly, fueled by a combination of factors, including the increasingly popularity of backpacking in general, access to better and lighter gear, and the growing popularity of endurance sports such as running. By the middle of the 1970s the number of thru hikers had grown so fast that after 1975, the staff of the ATC ended their practice of certifying 2,000 mile hikes. That year the Conference shifted to a new policy of simply asking hikers to state that they had, in fact, hiked the entire Trail for which they would receive a certificate and patch recognizing their achievement, relying on the honesty of hikers rather than a system of verification.
As the number of long distance hikers grew, so too did the problems associated with overuse of the Trail. Trail club leaders began to complain to the ATC about the amount of trash being left at shelters, of the degredation of the environment along the Trail, and that it was increasingly difficult to have what they felt was a true wilderness experience with so many people on the Trail. While the complaints about litter and environmental damage were based in observable facts, the complaints about the increasing numbers of hikers betrayed a sense of loss--loss of a Trail that had, for decades, been the domain of a relatively small number of enthusiasts who now found themselves face to face with a broader public.
Ever since the 1970s, the number of hikers attempting to hike the entire Trail has increased dramatically. Data compiled by the ATC on the 2017 hiking season shows more than 3,800 hikers attempting a northbound (NOBO) thru hike and just under 1,000 attempting a southbound (SOBO) or "flip flop" hike where the hiker begins at or near Harpers Ferry, hikes north to Maine, then returns to her or his starting point to hike south to Georgia. Thru hiking the Appalachian Trail remains difficult, however, because of the almost 5,000 people who reported an attempted thru hike in 2017, only 890 managed to complete their trek.

Like many bona fide lost classics, Green is still largely shrouded in mystery. It sold badly on its original release (in the spring of 1969, on Atlantic subsidiary Atco), and still hasn't received its due as one of the most imaginative psych-pop albums of the period.
Certain members were from Denton, Texas, while Richard Gardzina (now a distinguished saxophonist and flautist) hailed from Manchester, New Hampshire. The group are thought to have coalesced at North Texas State University, and recorded four songs as demos in a local studio, an acetate of which has recently surfaced (included here as bonus material). It shows them to have been a superbly tight unit well before they got to cut an album.
Their eventual debut, produced by veteran songwriter and composer Fred Darian, reflects little of the crazed psychedelia of fellow Texan musical travellers like the 13th Floor Elevators and the Golden Dawn. If anything, it's more Englishinfluenced, a taut collection of acid pop tunes set to distorted guitar and taut horn arrangements that complement, rather than swamp, the material.
Though four separate band members are credited with contributing brass to the record, selfindulgence is entirely avoided in favour of complex arrangements that consistently take unexpected turns. This means that, like many other neglected gems, the album reveals itself best on repeated listening. The songs veer from the mellow ballads Sunrise #7 and Footprints In The Snow to the hard psychedelic Green and Eastern-tinged Where Have I Been?', and - though most feature an impressive range of instruments - they are never cluttered.
Ultimately, however, the band's very breadth of talent may have damaged their chances of commercial success, for the album sank without trace. Its follow-up, 1971's To Help Somebody (also on Atco) was less focused (though still impressive in parts) and didn't sell either, prompting the band to fall apart. It is to be hoped that this first CD reissue will help to shed more light on the story behind this widely-admired LP.

The first of the two LPs by this obscure British group offers delicate folk and folk-rock, very much grounded in acoustic guitars, though some percussion and wind instruments are also heard on some tracks. It's not colored, however, with the traditional British folk slant identified with the most well-known of the U.K. acts in the style from the period.
It's more pop-influenced than trad-influenced, emphasizing the group's high, quavering harmonies on songs that are both wistful and self-effacingly humorous. At their most serious (as on "Wilhelmina Before Sunrise"), they sound a bit like Fairport Convention did in their early pre-traditional folk-rock days (à la "Decameron").
At times, a Simon and Garfunkel influence becomes a little too obvious; "St. Valentine's Day Massacre," "Althea Williams," and especially "Pisces" can't fail to recall that celebrated duo, all the way down to Paul Simon-like bent note guitar flourishes. Just to mix things up even more, there are tunes with a somewhat vaudevillian good-time flavor, sounding a little like the Lovin' Spoonful, or Peter and Gordon in their "Lady Godiva"/"Afternoon Tea" era.
While all of these bands and duos are good ones with whom to have similarities, the usual rule when such similarities crop up applies: Gothic Horizon themselves are not as good or identifiable as any of these apparent influences. It's on the slight and mild side, but nice enough as such second-and-third-tier rarities go, often bearing something of a sunny-morning-by-the-creek feel.

Well seriously, with a name like Dulcimer and an album cover like this one, you really should know what you're getting into without even listening to this record. And your preformed impressions would be dead-on correct for the most part: acoustic folk, mostly languid, and full of little fantasy vignettes and a slightly bawdy tale or two. The instrumentation is stock of the trade as well with 6- and 12-string guitars and bass, but also glockenspiel, harmonica, mandolin and even a couple songs with a dulcimer. There's even a few passages of ominous-sounding and stiff-lipped British spoken-word passages courtesy of the Richard Wood (aka Baron Holderness? Not sure. If so he is also the late Richard Wood, and a war hero to boot).
But there are enough little dalliances with humor and fantasy and the occasional charming lyrical turn or arrangement to place these guys within at least the past half-century musically. On "Ghost of the Wondering Minstrel Boy" for example, a dead lad's spirit wanders from a Tudor manor to an Eskimo igloo in a fruitless search of someone who will trade him a spot at their warm fire in exchange for one of his tales. In the end he is seen passing through the vacuum of space past a couple of chess-playing astronauts in their ship who refuse him admittance as well. Weird stuff, delivered with soft acoustic guitar strumming and a bleating harmonica.
But much of the album is pretty much stock folk, including the staid "Gloucester City", the mandolin- laden "Starlight", and the lithe love ditty "Lisa's Song".
Most of the songs here are a scant two or three minutes, pretty much in keeping with most traditional folk music of the period. The band does manage one extended track, the eight-minute "Caravan" that features lengthy dulcimer, mandolin and glockenspiel passages and more of Sir Wood's spoken-word baritone in the vein of Richard Burton on Jeff Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' but a bit less dramatic. This is the song that gives the album its title, coming from a passage of the now aged lad in this tale of world travels who looks back from whence he came at the end of a lifelong journey. A bit corny today, but solid stuff nearly forty years ago.
I don't know that this is much of a progressive album strictly speaking, but the band would do better on some of their subsequent recordings. This one is underdeveloped and not particularly ambitious, but then again it comes from a time when everything pretty much fit that description so accommodations have to be made for the period in which it was recorded I suppose. And extra kudos for the excellent album artwork and tastefully arranged liner notes. You don't see that kind of attention paid to album art these days thanks to digital wizardry which can render something like this in minutes as opposed to the likely days or even weeks that were spent in creating it by hand so many years ago.

Madonna Opens Pediatric Center In Malawi Named After Her Daughter
By Amanda Rey on July 13, 2017
With her children by her side, Madonna sat at the opening of The Mercy James Centre For Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care this past Tuesday (July 11). Named after her daughter, Mercy James, the music icon opened Malawi's first-ever pediatric surgery and intensive care center.
Back when Mercy was just four years old, Madonna fought against Malawi's highest court to win the right to adopt Mercy James. Now, Madonna stood by 11-year-old Mercy at the opening ceremony – recalling the nearly four-year journey she had to go through to call Mercy her own. Before meeting Mercy, Madonna had successfully adopted her now 11-year-old son David Banda. According to CNN, the "Like a Prayer" songstress shared the importance of the state-of-the-art center at the ceremony.
"The Mercy James Center remains not only a world-class intensive care hospital, but also a superior learning environment to train the next generation of Malawian healthcare workers," she said. "This is as much about healing as it is about empowerment."
Mercy James went on to express her gratitude and how the center can help save lives in Malawi.
"It is a great honor to know this hospital is named after me," Mercy said. "But what's more important is that we may help many kids and save many lives."
Its a Family Affair!! ♥♥♥At the Opening of The Mercy James Center!! @raisingmalawi
A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on Jul 11, 2017 at 11:09am PDT
Located in Blantyre, Malawi, The Mercy James Center will also include a playroom, an outdoor play structure, and inspirational murals curated by Madonna and other artists. According to Raising Malawi, the center, developed with Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and Malawian Ministry of Health, will aid the hospital and double the number of surgeries performed on children each year. The Mercy James Center will also offer an intensive care unit, which will increase the chance of survival after serious surgeries.

Ngong Ping 360: What to Do & See?
Lantau is the largest of Hong Kong's islands and is almost double the size of Hong Kong Island itself. It is located 10km west of Hong Kong Island and is about 25km in length. The island has a lot of tourist attractions to offer and one day is not enough to see them all. You can, however, enjoy a visit to one of the the most popular visitor destinations, not only in Lantau but also in Hong Kong, Ngong Ping.
A plateau high in the western Lantau hills in the shadow of the towering Lantau Peak, Hong Kong's second highest mountain. It has become popular since the Tian Tan "Big Buddha" statue was erected in 1993. What I love about this attraction is, despite the extent of development, it still retains the natural and wonderful environment. You can still see a lot of trees going there and within the attraction.
The 25 minutes Cable Car Ride starts at Tung Chung Station accross the Tung Chung Bay and steeply ascend to the North Lantau Country Park. Then ascend further to the highest point at Nei Lak Shan, 560 meters above sea level. As the car slowly descend the Nei Lak Shan station, the statue of the Big Buddha start to be visible. And as the car get nearer the Ngong Ping station, the statue gets bigger until it disappear as soon as the car stops at the Ngong Ping Station.
Adjacent to the Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal, Ngong Ping Village is an impressive cultural themed village, incorporating three major attractions - Walking with Buddha, Stage 360 and Motion 360. The village has gift shops, restaurants and café's. If you want to get the perfect picture of the village, make sure to go there as soon as it opens. Ngong Ping is really popular with it's Giant Buddha and a lot of people go there to visit.
It tends to get overcrowded starting lunch time and you will need a lot of patience when people are bumping on you or appearing when you are going to take photos.
If you are superstitious and a believer, don't leave Ngong Ping 360 without making a wish at the Bodhi Wishing Shrine. You won't miss it as it's situated just under the Bodhi Tree on the way to the Tian Tan (The Big Buddha) and the Po Lin Monastery.
Connecting the Ngong Ping Village and some of the attractions in the area is the Piazza. The piazza, which was almost two years in construction and cost some HK$77.5 million, harmonises with the religious setting of the surrounding environment and includes a new 14.1 metre tall, 19.1 metre wide Pai Lau, 122 metre long Bodhi Path flanked by statues of the "Twelve Divine Generals", Di Tan with four lotus ponds around the perimeter and 1,980 sq metre Chinese landscaped garden. Although, I didn't see the lotus ponds and the garden when we were there. Maybe I'm too focused on the 12 Divine Generals or just not paying attention to my surrounding.
Along the path at the entrance of the Po Lin Monastery is a giant Cauldron, seated on a pedestal. The cauldron was erected in 1998 and commemorates the end of British sovereignty and return of Hong Kong to the motherland a year earlier. The cauldron is engraved with the pattern of the Bauhinia, the national emblem of Hong Kong.
The Tian Tan Buddha Statue ("Big Buddha") have been cast in 202 bronze sections in mainland China and was transported over a period of three years to Lantau, where it was assembled. This hollow statue with the height of 26 meters is claimed to be "the world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue". The statue is sitting on circular three-tier podium atop the peak of Mount Muk Yu. To get there one has to climb some 268 steps to the lower tier of the podium. There is shorter route but it's only open for tour coaches and authorized vehicles. The Buddha was modeled after Sakyamuni, who achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
If you've been to other monastery with a Buddha, you will find that their hands have different positions. These hand positions have meaning, depending on what country and belief. In this case, the imparting fearlessness of the right hand of the Buddha indicates the compassion to save all sentient beings from their sufferings; the 'fulfilling wishes' mudra of the left hand, resting on the lap, implies the vow to grant blessing and happiness to all.
Po Lin (Precious Lotus) Monastery is another popular attraction in Ngong Ping 360 in Lantau Island, Hong Kong. A visit at the themed village is not complete without visiting the Monastery. It's a must see attraction next the Tia Tian Buddha, commonly known as the Big Buddha.
The Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, a Scripture Library and a Dharma Hall is the new addition to this religios site. Pardon me for taking pictures of the Buddha inside the temple, even though it's not allowed. It's just that I can't help myself because it's really beautiful and glimmering. Make sure you visit the Po Lin Monastery and it's surrounding when you travel to Hong Kong.
Wisdom Path features an arrangement of 38 giant wood columns measuring 8-10 meters tall and 1 meter wide. They showcase the calligraphic works of Professor Jao Tsung-I, the master of Chinese studies. These wood columns are arranged in a "∞" pattern. The words on these wood columns are from a famous Buddhist classic called the Heart Sutra whose full name in Sanskrit is Sāhasrikā-prajñā-pāramitā. Here's is where you want to go for an enlightenment tour.
If you are interested in knowing more about Ngong Ping, other than being a tourist spot, this is the perfect place to visit. This is where you can get the information about the biodiversity and natural landscape of the the island. How they promote public awareness of environmental and ecological conservation, and the most important of all, how they encourage ethical, responsible and sustainable tourism of the country. This tour is free and available in English. See below for the schedule of the tour.
* English Tours are only available at 11:00am.
This 3-dimensional multimedia attraction is all about the life of Siddhartha Gautama, "he who has meaning (of existence)/he who attained his goals", and became Buddha. From being a Prince of Court to finding enlightenment and becoming a Buddha.
Get an exciting opportunity to go behind the scenes to watch the professional performance of stuntmen and do some flying kicks of your own at Stage 360.
Motion 360 offers 5D shows - Discover Lantau and Little Ants Adventure. Whatever you choose to watch will surely bring you fund and and excitement.
Bring an umbrella or cap to protect you from the sun. Ngong Ping is an open area and gets really hot specially during summer.
Ngong Ping is very popular for tourists and locals, so it's really best to visit early. You can take pictures of the attractions with less people. Be patient and wait for your time, because almost all people want to have pictures with all of the attractions.

Establishment of a race of white canaries is described in a recent number of Knowledge, by Maud S. Martin. It started with a hen from a much in-bred buff strain, that sported to pure white, and was mated with an unrelated buff male. All of the offspring were buff, but when bred together gave 48 buff chicks and 18 white ones. Matings were carried through the third generation seemed to prove that the color was subject to Mendelian laws, buff being dominant and white recessive. Twenty-five extracted recessives were secured and are now breeding pure in every generation. They seem to be full as vigorous as the type, and have black, not pink, eyes.

Culture Vulture: Tracking the Transcendentalists
There are dozens of excellent books about the Alcotts, Emersons, Thoreau, and Hawthorne but reading them can't beat actually walking through the places where the people actually lived.
Orchard House: Where Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women
By Helen Epstein
"We are all going to be made perfect," wrote ten-year-old Louisa May Alcott in June of 1843, "This day we left Concord in the rain to travel by wagon the ten miles to our new home which Father has named Fruitlands." Louisa's father Bronson Alcott, the notoriously impractical luftmensch, set out in the spring of 1843 with his wife Abigail, his four young daughters, and his friend Charles Lane to live a utopian dream in a farmhouse off the road between Boston and Worcester, funded by his brother-in-law.
Since the Transcendentalist was against the consumption or use of animals (including cows, ducks, and chickens and their eggs) and determined to live off "the fruits of the earth" (ergo Fruitlands Farm), the family would eat only grains, fruits, and vegetables. They would draw water for drinking, cooking, and their cold baths (another of Alcott's dicta) from the well 50 yards from the house and cut firewood in the forest. There would be no household help.
Alcott took the best room for his study and allocated the bedrooms to himself and his wife Abigail; Charles Lane; and his good friend Henry David Thoreau, whose regular visits he anticipated. Louisa and her three sisters—then 11, 8, and 3—slept in a low, narrow, third-floor attic that made Cinderella's lodgings look luxurious.
Alcott and Charles Lane sometimes traveled together for weeks at a time during which Lane would argue for Alcott to abandon his family and form a true "consociate" community similar to the nearby Shakers.
In January of 1844, all but starving and freezing to death in the Massachusetts winter, Abigail Alcott— who had the empathy and patience of the social worker she was—finally called an end to the experiment, packed up her four young daughters, abandoned camp, and found refuge with relatives.
There are dozens of excellent books about the Alcotts, Emersons, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, but reading them can't beat actually walking through the places where the people actually lived. It's also nice to be able to travel by car rather than by wagon.
Driving west from Concord to Fruitlands on Route 2 on a fine spring day, you can get a sense of the lay of the land as well as the climate. It was chilly in the May sun, and we had a hot lunch at Alcott's Restaurant and Tea Room (whose excellent menu the philosopher would surely condemn). There are also three other museums at Fruitlands, including an excellently curated small gem of a Shaker Museum.
But the main reason I went to Fruitlands was to follow the footsteps of Louisa and, in fact, I came to understand the author of Little Women in a new way. It has been pointed out by many critics that Louisa May Alcott all but wrote her admired but hapless father out of her autobiographical novel. Mr. March makes a brief appearance in Chapter 22.
Moreover, Louisa's alter ego (and model for so many later women writers) Jo March does not marry in Little Women. She finally submits to the marriage plot via Professor Baer as a result of popular demand after readers devoured Little Men. She obliged with Jo's Boys.
Louisa May herself never married and, like the Belle of Amherst, Louisa has become an iconic figure. Orchard House, where she wrote Little Women has become a kind of shrine visited by readers from all over the world who have read the book, often translated as "The Four Daughters of Dr. March."
Unlike Emily Dickinson's home in Amherst, however, Alcott's is one of a cluster, including the historic home of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the home of his grandparents, and Walden Pond. Concord was a literary hotbed with neighbors and frequent visitors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Fuller, journalist, social reformer, and the first woman granted research privileges at Harvard. They were all enthusiastic walkers (their walking sticks are intriguing artifacts) who frequently visited each others' homes.
Orchard House and Emerson's House are less than half a mile apart; Emerson walked about one mile to the Old Manse, slightly more to Walden Pond, and 20 miles to Boston when he felt like it. Although I didn't replicate that walk, I spent the better part of two days touring the historic Concord houses. Walden Pond and the Concord Museum are accessible year-round but, for the most part, the historic homes are open only from April to November.
All have volunteer docents who are well-versed in local history, and shops with well-stocked book sections. There is no wandering about at will except at the Concord Museum. Guided tours are the rule and, if you're lucky, they become mini-seminars.
The Concord Museum: The place to begin tracking the Transcendentalists.
The Concord Museum is perhaps the best starting point. It's a small, modern, but comfortingly low-tech museum (an old-fashioned diorama of the Revolutionary War reminded me of childhood days at New York's Museum of Natural History) that starts with a display about the Algonquins who were displaced by the Colonists and provides a visual narrative to the 19th century.
The Museum boasts a nationally-significant decorative arts collection: Concord-made furniture, silver, and clocks, as well as several important historical relics. One is the lantern immortalized by Longfellow in Paul Revere's Ride ("One if by land; two if by sea"); another is the desk where Thoreau wrote Walden and "Civil Disobedience."
The most compelling exhibit for me is Emerson's study, brought over in its entirety from Emerson House after a fire broke out in its original location. He wrote in a wooden rocking chair, placed next to a round table in the center of the room whose top revolved like a lazy Susan when he wished to look at something besides what he was working on.
There's a painting by May Alcott (Amy in Little Women) hanging over the sofa as well as art Emerson brought back with him from Europe. Like Louisa, May was encouraged to visit with Emerson and peruse his treasures. The study, like all the Museum's displays, is beautiful, but if you want to experience the actual space in which the writers lived and wrote, you will wish to hurry on.
The Old Manse, half a mile from Concord Center just outside Minuteman National Park, was the home of Emerson's grandfather, Unitarian minister William Emerson, who began living there in 1770. The house had a clear view of the Concord River and the Revolutionary War's North Bridge. He allegedly watched the fighting from the bedroom window and called it "The Battle in my Backyard."
Emerson spent many summers with his grandparents and, in 1835, moved in for a short time. After Emerson moved to his own home in Concord, Nathaniel Hawthorne moved in and wrote Mosses from an Old Manse in the house. Thoreau planted a vegetable garden outside as a wedding gift.
Touring the house (a property of Massachusetts's Trustees of Reservations) is an experience of both literary and social history. There is the minister's parlor on the right with its fireplace and 1864 Steinway piano—an important nineteenth-century item that replaced the earlier Aeolian harp (hung in trees like contemporary wind chimes) as the musical instrument of choice for a proper family.
On the left is the study with a handsome grandfather clock from 1770 and oil paintings by yet another of the gifted women of the group, Sophia Hawthorne. She also etched a couple of the messages into the thick glass window panes, some of them 300 years old. You can try to channel both Emerson and Hawthorne in the study where the first wrote "Nature" and the second struggled with writer's block, working on Mosses from an Old Manse while facing the wall and away from the windows. One of the most interesting rooms is the fully-furnished kitchen with its set kettle, where water was boiled; it's an open hearth where pots were hung and a sloped sink.
Ralph Waldo Emerson House in Concord, MA
The Emerson Memorial House feels quite different from both the Concord Museum and the Old Manse. It's still privately owned by family descendants and feels homey. Almost all the furnishings are the originals except for the study, whose originals are preserved in the fire-proof and climate-controlled building across the road.
Nonetheless, even the replicated study is a place to soak in the literary atmosphere. You can imagine Emerson in his rocking chair working at his lectures (he came to believe that a speaking career was better both financially and for disseminating his ideas than publishing), surrounded by portraits and busts of and books by the men he admired: Dante, Goethe, Thomas Carlyle, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, John Muir.
Touring the house with its fireplace in every room and places for candelabra and leather buckets for putting out fires, one becomes sensitized to the amount of time and energy expended (not by Emerson) to keep the place well-lit, well-heated, and supplied with water (there was no indoor plumbing until the 1870s).
Which provides an interesting segue to Orchard House. One of Bronson Alcott's most pragmatic ideas, so far as I can tell, was to extend the original house, build his family's kitchen directly over their well, and to devise a pump to deliver the water to a soapstone sink. This was ingenious, time-saving, possibly life-saving arrangement in the bitter winters and probably much appreciated by his wife and daughters after their Spartan conditions on Fruitlands Farm.
Orchard House was also close to Concord Center and on the site of a real apple orchard—12 acres of orchard as per Thoreau, who survey the land for them. The Alcotts moved into the house in 1858 and lived there for 20 years.
Father Alcott believed in progressive, child-centered education. Two more ingenious ideas, for which he is justly honored, were to encourage all his daughters to write in daily journals and to allow May to sketch on the walls of her room.
All four of his daughters experimented with music and theater as well as the visual arts: the two older girls even founded a quasi-community theater called The Concord Dramatic Players Union. May's impressive artistic work hangs on the walls.
But, for me, the most moving artifact in Orchard House is Louisa's desk, a tiny half-moon of wood that her father built into the wall, where she sat and sometimes wrote for 14 hours at a stretch.
By the time she died at age 55 in 1888, she had written more than 30 books that have been translated into 50 languages, had toured Europe like her hero Emerson, raised her late sister May's daughter Lulu, and was finally able to maintain a comfortable lifestyle with an apartment in Boston's Louisburg Square.
You can read about Louisa May Alcott, her father, Thoreau, Emerson, Hawthorne, and their world in several notable books like John Matteson's Eden's Outcasts; Megan Marshall's The Peabody Sisters; and Robert D. Richardson's Emerson: The Mind on Fire. But now's the time to visit where they lived and worked.

Content can go viral overnight! It takes a lot of planning and strategy, with a touch of luck. You can have the formula just right and fail over and over to achieve viral status. Why is it then that some content goes viral? Let's take a look at some articles to see the common factors in creating viral content.
Skimability – does your audience have to read the entire piece to get the gist?
Social currency – what's in it for your audience?
Triggers – do they come across anything in their daily lives that will remind them of the material?
Emotion – how does your material make them feel?
Publicness – where is your content? is it out there for all to see?
Practical value – how useful is your information?
Practically useful content gets shared.
In "The Secret Recipe for Viral Content Marketing Success", by Kelsey Libert, she puts a great deal of focus on the importance of eliciting emotion and audience engagement. If you can get your audience to feel the right type of emotion to make them want to share your content, they will usually share it within a day to two. She mentions the "social benefit of sharing" as something they get out of it when sharing to their peers or audience. Your audience can also be responsible for creating viral content for you ("fractal virality") if you give them the proper tools to do so.
Larry Kim wrote an article called "Oops, I Ruined the Facebook IPO!", where he implemented many of the elements we see above to successfully create viral content. He wrote a very in depth article about Facebook Advertising vs. The Google Display Network and had it made into an infographic to help share via social media. He timed his material to come out just before the Facebook IPO. This timely article caught on very quickly after GM decided to drop their Facebook advertising. Because he took the time to try to push his study out to a few key outlets, it spread like a wildfire once the GM news broke in the Wall Street Journal. His study challenged the powerhouse everyone knew as Facebook and made people wonder if it was really as great as it seemed to be. Although Kim explained that he didn't really ruin the Facebook IPO, his study did allow people to view Facebook Advertising in a new light by simplifying it's weaknesses compared to the strengths of the Google Display Network.
So what do you see as common factors among the lists above (besides Jonah Berger)?
EMOTION – get people to feel something, anything. For the greatest chance of success, try to stay positive and be specific in which emotion you want your audience to feel.
PRACTICAL utility and value – provide really useful, interesting information that makes life easier or improves the way people do things.
SHARE – give people a reason to share and make it easy for them to pass your information on.
In all of the lists I presented, would you have picked the same top three common factors? If not, which would be your top three?
Is it safe to say that if you aim for viral you will, at minimum, be very successful in reaching a large portion of your audience with your content?
Great post, Erin! I would definitely agree with your three common factors (and nice job condensing everyone's words into a simpler but still meaningful strategy). When I think about what I share on social media, it always falls into one of those categories. I've really enjoyed this week's readings because they dissect viral content, but I always fall back on my gut feelings. First I have to separate myself from the content my company is producing, and think like someone with no connections to our content. What would make me share it? It always comes down to strong emotions, useful information and ease of sharing.
I would also agree with your second question. If you aim for viral, you're at least going to get some decent traffic. And you'll also get some valuable experience — determining what resonates with your audience and what doesn't will help you produce more viral content in the future.
Thank you Julie! You are right about trying to separate yourself from your company and viewing the content as an outsider. That's a great way to think about it.
