Respect Him.

                                         

The key to sexual desire is respect.

Love brings with it desire and respect.

We must respect his wishes.

We must respect his rights.

We must respect his vows.

Then our love may be requited.

Hard-Heartedness.

                            

The world is cold, harsh, hard, and tough.

We have no sympathy for refugees.

We have no time for the mentally-ill.

We have no compassion for the poor.

Everyone is expected to fend for themselves.

And no one will make sacrifices.

This is hard-heartedness.

It is induced by violence.

And maintained by fear.

So, if you want the world to be a different place, open your heart!

The Good News.

                            

The Good News is that God does not punish us.

There is no Judgement - personal or collective.

And there is no hell.

God is wholly good.

Like a loving Father.

He helps us.

And guides us.

Sex is not a sin.

God does not punish us for our natural desires.

Homosexuality is not sinful.

It is part of God's good creation.

Good News indeed!

Star Wars.

                            

The problem with movies like Star Wars is that they have the right problem but the wrong answer.

The problem of widespread evil in our world cannot be stopped by the sword.

Because evil is basically a spiritual problem it must be countered with spiritual means.

This is where Jesus comes in.

Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who abuse us.
He said to turn the other cheek.

This approach is in sharp contrast to classical stories of good versus evil in which the good guys always win through violence.

The human reaction to evil is to attack and destroy it.

But when we lay down the sword and pray for the good of our enemies something happens.

So non-violent prayer is a way forward.

Rather than getting entangled in violence and revenge we can pray for the redemption of our assailants.

This is truly radical.

Cry out to God!

He will hear.

Life.

                            

"What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it."  John 1:3-5 (NRSV)

Life comes from God.

God is good.

Mercy, compassion, forgiveness, charity, generosity, gratitude, humility, self-discipline, and love lead to Life.

But most of all Love.

Pray to God.

He will deliver you.

And grant you Life.

The Truth.

                            

Richard Nixon said that the truth was ten times worse than anyone imagined.

How true that is.

Who would ever have suspected that we were in the grip of a world-wide Satanic conspiracy.

Satanism hidden in rock music has cursed and corrupted everyone.

And now it has spread to sports, T.V., movies, literature.....

Everything is contaminated.

Bad, black, evil, death....

Darkness has engulfed us.

We are blind.

And helpless.

Pray to God.

Cry out to Him!

He will hear.

And deliver you.

Sports.

They try to distract you,

And then they try to act you,

With football and cricket,

And anything they own.

It's Wimbledon, 

It's Superbowl,

It takes your mind,

It takes your soul.

And when they're done with you

They break your heart in two

And send you to

Hell!

And why.

So that he

It Matters.

                            

What happens to the poor and the marginalized matters.

We cannot just follow celebrities and rock stars and sports men and women and aspire to fame and fortune.

We are responsible for our fellow human beings.

Be they slave laborers, or asylum seekers, or gays and lesbians.....

We are all brothers and sisters.

For God is our Father.

And we are all equal.

Dwarf Planet.

                            

On the 24th of August 2006 Pluto was officially demoted to the status of Dwarf Planet.

This was because recent observations had discovered larger objects in the Kuiper Belt outside the orbit of Neptune which were designated Dwarf Planets.

This coincided with a diminishing of the power of Pluto in human consciousness.

And because Pluto's irregular orbit has also seen it return to outside the orbit of Neptune this diminishing has doubled.

Pluto was at its most intense during its transit of its own sign of Scorpio (1984-1995) when it was at its closest to the Sun - i.e. inside the orbit of Neptune.

So the influence of Pluto and Scorpio is seriously diminished in our experience.

I can only say that this is a good thing.

Deborah and Barak.

                            

In church we had a reading from Judges in which Deborah summoned Barak to battle.

The reading began with the assumption that Israel's military defeat by the Canaanite King Jabin was God's punishment on Israel for worshipping foreign gods.

And that the Judge Deborah's faithfulness would assure Israel's victory.

This is not true.

The outcome of battles is not decided by God.

Those with superior military strength win battles.

Losing a battle is not God's punishment.

And winning a battle is not God's favor.

We have seen these false perspectives used by both sides in modern wars.

"God is on our side" they say.

But God is not a god of war or violence.

He does not make war or punish anyone.

Jesus was the Prince of Peace.

He said: "'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.'"  Matthew 5:9 (NRSV)

Children of God means that they are like God.

So God must be a peacemaker not a warmaker.

In the East there is a spiritual principle called Ahimsa that means non-violence or harmlessness.

Why would God tell people to be non-violent if He was violent Himself?

So God must be non-violent.

So there can be no hell.

Make Peace.

Like the Holy Dove.

Spirituality.

                            

The religious right think that they have cornered the market in spirituality.

They think that right thinking and right politics equals God's blessing.

And absolute power.

But spirituality is about giving.

Too much of our language in church is about receiving and asking for things (mostly for ourselves).

Too much of our intention is about conquest and conversion.

And too little of our action is about meeting others' real needs.

We need to learn how to give love.

Not to accrue benefit to ourselves.

Then we will be a true blessing to the world.

Mental.

                                     

In fact the effects of Satanism are not so much spiritual as mental.

By manipulating subliminal images and triggers in their music and videos rock musicians control what we think and do.

They think that by corrupting us they can get us into hell.
This is the devil's work.

But God will not judge us.

In fact Satanists are the least likely to see God clearly.
Saturated as they are in darkness and lies.

God will not punish us.

He will forgive.

He will show us mercy.

Whatever we may have done as a result of Satanic manipulation will be forgiven.

And God will grant us Heaven.

Black.

Satanism is hidden in our popular culture.

Rock music, sports, and entertainment are riddled with people who have sold their souls for fame and fortune.

They do the devil's work in the world.

And they are hidden by darkness.

Anything backwards or upside-down is Satanic magic designed to corrupt and deceive you.

And they are famous people.

Megastars and celebrities lead us astray and turn us to evil.

Bad, filthy, wicked, vice, sin.....

All these things have been pushed on us by rock stars and celebrities.

And they will try to addict you.

To get money out of you.

So turn on the lights.

And see what is happening.

Then you will be free.

Knowing God.

                            

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

The world knows the classic false construction of God as judge and punisher of humankind which has more to do with earthly authority than heavenly authority.

Moses said of God: "The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."  Exodus 34:6 (NRSV)

This is echoed by David in the Psalms and the prophet Jonah.

Jesus called God Abba - Papa.

He gave us the image of God as a loving Father.

He said: "The Father judges no one."  John 5:22 (NRSV)

God is faithful and reliable.

God is transcendent.

God is Love.

Within You.

                                   

"'The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, "Look, here it is!" or "There it is!"  For the kingdom of God is within* you.'"  Like 17:20 (NRSV)

The reason why the Kingdom of God is said to be within you is because spiritual development is the development of the heart.

The melting of the heart to feel compassion and the opening of the heart to give love.

The Kingdom of God is not a throne, or an army, or a parliament, or a police force.

The Kingdom of God is not a location on a map.

The Kingdom of God is a fellowship of hearts.

Love God and love your neighbor.

The rest is fear.

Assumptions.

                  

When we make contact with the real God.

Or more precisely when the real God makes contact with us.

We are prone to making assumptions.

We assume that we are always right.

We assume that we are worthy.

We assume that we are better than others.

There are many things that we assume.

Theological assumptions.

Philosophical assumptions.

Theoretical assumptions.

When Abraham migrated to the land of the Canaanites he assumed that God had promised possession of this land to him and his descendants.

This has been disputed ever since.

And it is still disputed today.

When Moses was presented with some guidelines for the Israelites he assumed that making more guidelines was even better.

Hence we have the 613 laws.

King David assumed that because God favored him He would destroy his enemies and make him victorious in battle.

But these things are by no means certain.

When Jesus came he clarified many of these things.

But many assumptions have been made about Jesus as well.

Jesus' Virgin Birth, his Divinity, his physical Resurrection, his Ascension, his Second Coming.....

All of these things have been questioned.

So what can we be sure of?

Jesus said that the first and greatest commandment was: "'"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."'"  Matthew 22:37 (NRSV)

"'And a second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."'"  Matthew 22:39 (NRSV)

And, "'I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.'"  John 13:34 (NRSV)

This is certain.

The Bhagavad-Gita says:

"To love is to know me,
My innermost nature,
The truth that I am:
Through this knowledge he enters
At once to my being."

"Give me your whole heart,
Love and adore me,
Worship me always,
Bow to me only,
And you shall find me:
This is my promise
Who love you dearly."

This is sure.

So, rather than assuming possession of land, or victory in battle, or winning out against our enemies, we should try to love people and make peace.

Nothing else is sure.

Satanists.

                            

So what of the Satanists themselves?

Those in rock music and entertainment and sports who have sold their souls to the devil will not be damned.

God will show mercy and forgiveness even to them.

He will call out their souls from the darkness and lies which have engulfed them.

And He will forgive their massive debts.

They too will enter into Heaven - which is God's Love.

Betrayed.

                            

The attitude of those who have betrayed us is that the image put out by the Churches that God is a harsh, judgemental, anti-sex, vindictive, insane dictator who intends to torture us all forever is the true image of God.

They believe that this originates with God Himself.

Therefore, they reason, Satan's contract to give them whatever they want in return for their souls is a good deal.

What they don't realize is that if Satanists tell you to lie to everyone the chances are they are lying to you in the first place.

And the negative image they have of God is not the truth about God at all.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

And it still does not know Him.

So their commitment to evil and darkness is a false deal. 
And their treachery and malice is misplaced faith in Satan.

They believe that Satan will reward them for their "dirty deeds".

So they tempt everyone and betray everyone.

In the hope that we will all burn in hell.

But there is no Satan in reality.

And there is no hell either.

But their malice and sabotage cause untold damage and suffering.

How much suffering derives from drugs and divorce alone?

This evil is hidden in the rock music and videos which constantly play in dance venues and pubs.

Subliminal messages make us bad, filthy, wicked sinners who deserve to be punished.
 
If anyone questions them they pass it off as a joke.

Hell forever - very funny.

So be aware.

Not everything around you is benevolent.

Backwards.

The basis a of Satanic magic is backwards.

Anything backwards or upside-down is an attempt to control people by Satanic magic.

This is common in rock music and advertising.

And it appears in the mass-media.

The proponents of this practice seek to gain wealth and fame as a reward for their "dirty deeds".

Backtracking and subliminal suggestion poison the unconscious and corrupt us by stealth.

The recent obsession with addiction and vice is a plot to corrupt humanity and consign our souls to hell.

So don't just explain away these obvious peculiarities.

They are deliberate.

And they are Satanic.

Salvation.

What is Salvation?

Good Works, you say,

to get into Heaven.

Asceticism,

deny earthly pleasures,

and gain pleasures in  Heaven.

Knowledge,

enlightenment,

to share in the Light.

But I say

that Salvation

is Love.

Open your hearts!

Give love to others.

Then there will be

Heaven on Earth!

Life on Earth.

We live

in a land

of violent men.

Where

dark shadows

hide

hideous fears.

Where love

is betrayed.

And innocence

corrupted.

We walk

through

dark valleys.

And brave

hidden daggers.


Until

in desperation

we cry out

to God!

And He

responds

with infinite Love.

He touches

our hearts

and enlightens

our minds.

And at last

we welcome

His Salvation.
