The Da Vinci Code and the Doctor of Symbology

The Second Coming and the Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code movie was fairly widely panned.   The plot was labyrinthian, the acting a bit wooden.  (Sorry, Tom.)

But I think it is an important movie about the movement and direction of the culture. Maybe not a successful movie, but it is headed in the right direction. Tom Hanks, Professor of Symbology, opens the movie up reading a book entitled,  Secrets of the Sacred Feminine. Whoa.   Has this guy been reading Jung or something?

And a Professor of Symbology?   Is there really such a thing?   When have we ever seen one of those before in a movie?   You mean symbolism might be something important? Enough so that Dr. Symbology assumes the leading role?

A number of Jungians believe that this journey of the finding of the sacred feminine is exactly where we are in the culture — awaiting the Second Coming  — and this time it will be in feminine form.    Jesus married to Mary?   Sounds like we are getting there.
