Reading With Your Eyes Wide Open

Just recently I was given a book to read called,"The Da Vinci Code." An interesting personal perspective building a enormous conspiracy theory based on the origin of Christian beliefs and ideologies. I have to admit that my belief has always waived on the possibilities of manipulated history for the benefit of governing control. However this book dips much deeper, purswaying you to think the possibilities of religious symbolism could infect be all but metaphorical with a completely different intent. Even art it’s self is questioned with the persuasion of hidden motivations and intent.
I tend to be a cautious reader and although I did find this novel fascinating I had to wonder if it somehow paralleled with the old fairytale,"The Emperor’s New Clothes."
The author somehow manipulated you to believe that he knows more than you. Perhaps so much so that like that in the ,"Emperor’s New Clothes," You start to not only believe in the invisible thread but see it. Dangerously we embrace theories and ideas without question. Even though this book contains a lot of reshearch and fact. It has many loop holes filled in nicely by the author. After reading you feel somewhat outwitted, perhaps this is where the innocents of individualism in beliefs can protect you from the invisible clothe you find yourself so eagerly willing to wear. Than again this book is fiction. May that leave you with enough warning. Like that of the conspiresy theory the author so suspensfully unravels so too does he wish to start his own. Enjoy.
