So I just finished reading the book, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It was an okay book, but I just loved the ending. If you want to read the book at some point-stop reading cause I'm totally going to give away the ending.
The whole idea of the book is based on this idea that there is a lost word, that once you know it, can bring you ultimate power. Throughout the book the good guys are told that the word isn't so much a 'lost or new word', it is a word that everyone knows but ignore the significance of it. At the very end it is revealed that the word isn't just a singular word, but rather THE word as in the Bible. The reason the bible has great power to those who know it is because of one of its key doctrines-that we are literally children of God and that we have the potential to be like him and that our minds have the literal power and capability of Godhood.
I thought that was a pretty cool moral to this book-that there is tremendous power IN EACH of us. Obviously there is huge power as we call on God to help us, but there is also great power within us. As we recognize who we really are and what we are truly capable of, we'll see the tru Godhood in ourselves. We really are Gods in embryo. We were made to become Gods-rulers of worlds and matter and sometimes the hardest one is ourselves.
The last thought(s) I had as I finished off the book was just that we are each so amazing. That made me think of the song on the radio-Just the Way you are -by Bruno Mars. K so I know it is a super cheesy song, but it's mostly true...we are amazing just the way we are. Not that we don't have faults, but by virtue of the fact that we are on this Earth, at this time...we obviously are amazing and truly stalwart people...we just have trouble sometimes remembering that.
