This may be of interest to you and I found it to be an odd coincidence, but there is a Schrodinger's Cat theory in reference to Jesus, where 2 or more Jesus' were used to come up with the old testament and the new testament due to conflicts with the orginal meaning of what messiah actually mean in the ancient Hebrew text (so is it even Jesus than?). The conincidence is that this is mentioned in The Hiram Key in the middle of chapter 3, and besides the fact that I am reading these 2 books right now, I didn't see such a direct connection between these authors. Well this seems to prove ever more that it's a small enough world that maybe we will see the cat get let out of the proverbial bag after all! And they say science can't prove everything, heh.

history of how djs started out and how electronic music came to be..very interesting....
i read a similar book in the summer that went back to the 60's and the guy who supposedly was the first dood to discover mdma by accident. talked about disco clubs, the 70's, 80's and early 90's and how some djs like Oakenfold n Sasha all started.

forgot the title though... it wis a tad boring at times but very intersting indeed

Are you reading Schrodinger's Cat right now as well? If you are reading both right now that is kinda odd, but Schrodinger's Cat is a little more based on the parrallel universe theory, a reasonable yet underterminable (at least right now) interpretation of quantum mechanics (NOT science fiction people) - thus the different universes in different parts of the book. I haven't read the book in a little while so I'm not familiar with any direct references to the text as with the Jesus part - how did this multiple mentioning of Messiah come up in the context of the book? This doesn't really surprise me either since in just our universe (assuming multiple ones), the old and new testaments are chalk full of self-conflicting "historical" data - check out the "Yahhwe Only" cult for some interesting insight into the beginnings of judaism and the development of their god Yahhwe into "the God" of christianity today - I'm not sure if that's how you spell Yahhwe, but it's pronounced "Ya-way".
