See You in the Morning by Alice Krige

A new perception of the Christ, His disciples, as well as the prophets of the Scriptures, has begun to emerge, causing a splintering of beliefs among the faithful. Some people have begun to embrace a view that is more humanistic and at the same time more mystical.

While some consider this newly developing Christian attitude to be highly blasphemous and contrary to traditional Biblical teachings, nevertheless, there exist today numerous alternative versions of the life of Jesus and other Biblical stories that turn mainstream theology upside down to reveal a truly human Messiah and a more morally complex understanding of the Creation stories in Genesis. The discovery of the Gnostic scriptures in Egypt in 1945 has forced Biblical scholars throughout the world to rethink their beliefs about the Holy Book and to consider possibilities undreamt of in ages past.

For example. . .

* Did Jesus love Mary Magdalene in a decidedly physical, even sexual way? Was she truly his favorite disciple?

* Did Jesus convince Judas to betray him to the Romans? Was Jesus a conspirator in his own trial and crucifixion, which he felt he needed to undergo to consciously fulfill the prophecies?

*Were things we normally confine to our own era foreknown and prophesied in the Gnostic Scriptures? For example, the hybrid alien children so familiar from our current abduction literature?

* Was Jesus a kind of spiritual chameleon, changing his physical form to suit his needs and even at times resembling the ubiquitous gray alien of the UFOs?

These are the kinds of questions Sean Casteel grapples with in FORBIDEN BOKS OF HERESY. Casteel has pored over some of the Gnostic scriptures and written an analysis that not only makes the ancient accounts easier to understand for the lay reader but also makes new connections with the mysterious paranormal phenomena of our own time. If you never thought of the scriptures as thrilling, these revelations regarding the Gnostic scriptures will change your mind even as they lead you into spiritual realms you never knew existed

Jeff Bridges, a seven-time Academy Award nominee and one of Hollywood's most popular performers, won his first Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his role as Bad Blake, a down-on-his-luck, alcoholic country music singer, in Crazy Heart. He has received seven Oscar nominations since his first in 1971 for The Last Picture Show, the most recent being for Hell or High Water (2016). He has appeared in over 65 films over the course of his nearly 50-year career, including Seabiscuit, The Big Lebowski, True Grit, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Starman, and, most recently, Bad Times at the El Royale. He has also produced films and television movies through his firm, ASIS Productions, including the documentary Living in the Future's Pasts, as well as The Giver, American Heart, The Only Living Boy in New York, and Hidden in America. Two of his loves are photography and music.

Bridges' pictures have appeared in magazines such as Premiere and Aperture, as well as gallery shows in New York (at the George Eastman House), Los Angeles, London, Italy, and San Diego's Museum of Photographic Arts. Jeff was honored by the International Center of Photography with the Infinity Award in 2013. Jeff released Sleeping Tapes, a spoken word/ambient album, in February 2015. Keefus Ciancia, a musician who also provided the music, co-produced the project.

Squarespace, a web hosting company, released the album as part of its Super Bowl promotional campaign, with all proceeds going to charity.
