      Scholars have universally missed the right interpretation for the key passage: "But you ill exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man who bears me." Please tell everyone you know, this means the MYSTIC sacrifice of JUDAS for the inner Jesus, as spirit Master. This is gnostic teaching here, not sacrificial DEATH of Jesus orthodoxy. Jesus gave his LIFE, not death, in Mark 10:45: "give my life as ransom for many [not all]." If you reflect only momentarily you will see the genesis of the orthodox "betrayal" mythology with this simple misunderstanding of his word, "sacrifice". The whole edifice of Christianity comes crashing down with the realization that Jesus taught something quite different than what the New Testament might have us all believe.

      I hate to come down on Charlie Rose so hard but it's becoming increasingly hard to watch him botch these interviews with such important guests. For instance he opens his mouth at 9:46 and all he can muster is "because... because... " In this interview (as well as ones with Mohamed El-Erian and Lawrence Summers) Rose comes across as inept and extremely clumsy in his line of questioning. Time to hang it up or perhaps to pass on the torch?

      I can never hear or read enough of Elaine Pagels. Please have her on again soon.

      Charlie, I cannot tell you how your show has added to my life. As Thanksgiving approaches, I am so grateful for the work you and your staff do. Thank you for enriching my life so.

      How I wish you would interview more of the extraordinary women who inhabit this planet.

      Please address....again....the failure of education in this country and what we, the ordinary citizens can do about it.

      Good health to you.
