An urge to re-read the Bible

I write to my friend Kathrin:

"I have this major urge to re-read the Bible, the life of Jesus etc. Like I think this guy really "got it" and that the message he left is HUGE, HUGE. Like, Buddha was really good at communicating his insights in a written format, while Jesus did this major "real life demo" of "what is".

I really want to read it again (I'm sure it will be much more intense now that I have "awakened") but I don't have a Bible here..."

And to my friend Sasha:

"By the way, I guess because I was raised more or less in the Christian tradition, I have all these thoughts/feelings about Jesus, the sheer power of what he demonstrated (or, of what his story demonstrates). This is quite HUGE when you think of it. I am thoroughly moved by the story. I’ve actually just ordered the movie Jesus of Nazareth from Franco Zeffirelli, which I saw many times as a kid (much less violent than Passion of Christ I suppose), and am going to get a Bible. It's like I start understanding the story much better (or, even, completely?) now that I am "awakened", so I am a bit curious. And I see the disaster that Christianity (and a large number of religions) has been, mostly. Yet, I also sort of see the point, and why it unfolded the way it did."
