The Moses Code – Review

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

The Moses Code from James F Twyman sounded very interesting so when I finally got a copy I dropped everything and watched it in one sitting.

The collection of interviews is in The Secret style with quick edits between people discussing the subject matter, and some nifty backgrounds. James decided to go with an arthouse style of editing that meant he was talking directly to you facing the camera and then, for some inexplicable reason, we get to see him side on talking to the right. I’m not sure how this works as it would suggest he’s talking to air! Still, it added to the uniqueness of this production.

The content is mainly about recognising your place in the universe through understanding a translation to English of the line “I am that I am” which should actually be “I am that, I am” This is all explained in the DVD so I won’t go into details here but suffice to say, when one of the people being interviewed said something like “we’ve heard this line all our lives and have not really understood it properly” I was definitely out of the loop as I had never ever heard that line before! In fact, I think the last time I read a passage from the old testament it was delivered through chalk drawings at Sunday school.

I think my high expectations of finding out some revelation was what made it a bit disappointing. Also, I don’t actually know any Jewish people and anything I’ve learnt about Jewish religion was through South Park so I was struggling to understand some of the references.

Having said that, for those of you who do understand Jewish history or religion you might find it very informative, compelling and life changing. And anything that changes your life for the better has got to be good. Find out more about it here
