after all, we are so very human...

just pass over your own thoughts of eggs, easter and 

chocolate jesus(es)...

before constantine, we, in the growing monotheistic 

civilizations of the west and near east, were thought to 

still have access to our humanity's mystical powers...

we have outsourced our proofs of divinity ever since...

take for example, the shroud of Turin, a supposed burial 

cloth for a gnostic who rebelled against the great powers of the 

temple of Herod and the concrete dynastic chains of 

Rome...

what of its claims to be muddy messianic imagery...

is it artful forgery or one man's cellular capitulation...

can the soul leave traces behind without having the mind 

construct a vessel for its deliverance...?
