“It is also associated with the assassination of Cesar”
Yes. “beware the Ides of March” means “beware the 15th of March”, when Caesar was assassinated, as the “prophet” told him in Shakespeare’s rendition. That’s all it means. It has no relevance outside of the number 15. But people use it as though it’s some spooky thing, because they come to an assumption in their own mind that it means something else. It can be a great revelation when you realize how much you are assuming. For me, it led me to read the Bible when I realized how many baseless assuptions I had about it.

"..one of the baleful consequences of religious literalism or “fundamentalism” (which is not actually fundamental, but a very modern deviation) is that it places religious knowledge on the same horizontal plane as empirical or rational scientific knowledge.
"...our intellectual conceptions--our gnosis--are only true insofar as they reflect the Word. Real truth is not a construct or acquisition of the ego, but something to which we humbly submit. .."
