L.S.D.

I read on the Internet about a new play which is about L.S.D..

The author was suggesting that we need a new wave of drug taking in our world.

This is Satanists preparing the Millennials for the horrors of drug taking.

Satanists, mostly in rock music, inspired the Baby-Boomers to take drugs and engage in promiscuous sex.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll ruined a whole generation.

And now they are doing it again.

Because the Millennials have planets in Aquarius - the negative interpretations of which are drug abuse and promiscuity - they have designed their hell.

So don't be fooled into thinking that drug taking is O.K..

It leads to squalor, degradation, mental illness, and suicide.

The Chosen One.

Dune, Star Wars, The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Long and Winding Road, Once There Was a Way, Monty Python, Rocket Man, Beauty and the Beast, It's No Game, Mind Games, Hotel California, and many more.....

These examples of the Chosen One goes wrong have created suffering and damnation for innocents.

Invariably the predicted savior does something wrong and becomes an agent of evil.

And make no mistake this was done quite deliberately by novelists, rock stars, and movie directors.

It is the work of Satanists in the arts.

And it is inevitable that we will make mistakes on our spiritual journey.

But if we persevere through study and prayer we will find our goal.

And overcome this sabotage.

God forgives us.

His mercy is sure.

His Love is steadfast.

And His Life is everlasting.

Pureland.

Pureland is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism.

Pureland is the abode of the Buddha and the Bodhisatvas.

And unexpectedly the practise of Pureland Buddhism does not involve adherence to high moral principles.

Pureland Buddhist meditation involves constantly bringing to mind the Buddha or Bodhisatva in the hope of being reborn in the Pureland.

Neither does Pureland Buddhism require abstinence from sex.

Its adherents are householders and families like any other.

So do not despair.

Help is at hand.

Krishna.

As the Indian god of light Krishna has also been said to be born at the Winter Solstice.

This is when the Sun is at its most distant in the Northern Hemisphere and (after three days stationary) begins to return towards the North.

This date is known as the Birth of the Sun.

And it is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ because this is when the light was born into the world.

So all cultures share in the Light.

And celebrate its birth.

The Fiducial Points

The original Fiducial Points in Astrology were the fixed stars Aldebaran and Antares which were located at the mid-points of Taurus and Scorpio when Astrology was conceived.

This was the most appropriate placing for the middle of Spring and Autumn.

As time went by, however, Astrologers observed that the Vernal Equinox moved backwards through the Astrological Signs.

This gave birth to the Astrological Ages.

At present the Vernal Equinox is at 5° Pisces but because we are still in the Age of Pisces the Vernal Equinox is fixed at 0° Aries for the whole of the Age.

As we approach the Age of Aquarius there will be much debate about the position of the Vernal Equinox and the fixing of the Tropical Horoscope.

Warm and Fuzzy.

Many Christians will dismiss love as just a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Action, they say, is what is required.

But few Christians put their faith into action.

If they did the world would be a different place.

I say better warm and fuzzy than cold and hard.

Consolation.

Many scriptures and hymns talk about victory, conquest, glory.....

This is to try to win.

It is the way of the world to win.

And many commentaries paint the Resurrection as a victory over death and evil.

As if somehow Jesus won.

But Jesus did not win in a worldly sense.

He did not live and reign on Earth.

And scriptures that claim victory and reign are misguided.

They are thinking in a worldly way.

God's final act of love for His prophet was a consolation.

He could not change the world and establish the Kingdom that he dreamed of.

But God is faithful.

He raised him from the dead to Heaven.

And what they saw was not glory but Light.

So on Earth we should not seek to win, we should only seek to help and to love.

This is the way of God.

Our reward will be the consolation prize.

But the consolation prize is greater than any empty prize on Earth.

It is the gift of Eternal Life in Heaven.

Sex-Phobia.

Why do so many religious people have a phobia about sex?

It would seem that feelings of fear and guilt about sex become associated with concepts of the goodness and purity of God.

They feel dirty and defiled.

But this is not a healthy attitude.

In her book The Female Eunuch Germaine Greer devoted a whole chapter to loathing and disgust.

She claimed that after sex men projected feelings of loathing and disgust onto women.

And this may be the source of religious men's phobia about sex.

From Adam and Eve to Augustine and beyond sex has been a bone of contention for religious people.

My idea is that instead of banning sex or branding it bad and sinful we should develop a healthy attitude to the pleasure of sex.

Sex is the consummation of love.

And as such it is part of God's plan for humanity.

God's Will is that we love one another.

And sex is an adjunct of love.

The Satanic Verses.

The Old Testament contains many violent and threatening verses.

My thesis is that these verses have been tacked on to visions of God by terrified mortals who were unable to conceive of a God without vengeance.

They succumb to the temptation to add violence to their visions of God.

And therefore I call them the Satanic Verses.

An example of this in the New Testament is The Parable of the Wedding Banquet.  

In Matthew there is a terrifying threat attached to the end of the story which is totally absent  from the story in the Gospel of Luke.

But the worst example of this must be The Book of Revelation.

The violence and revenge imagined by John of Patmos results from his reaction to the persecution of the Churches.

He could not imagine a God who would reward those who were suffering and not take revenge on the wicked.

But there is no evidence that God behaves in this way.

God rewards the faithful who have suffered in His Name but He does not destroy the wicked.

The wicked He forgives and redeems because their actions are inspired by fear. 

So the violent and threatening passages of the Bible should be ignored.

They are the result of ignorance and fear.

They result from the temptations of tyranny and revenge.

They are Satanic Verses.

Forgiveness.

When I was quite young I wondered how there could be judgement and hell when Jesus was the epitome of forgiveness. 

Later I was heard to say that the first person forgiven after the Resurrection as Judas.

I assumed that somehow the Church had developed a different theology than the one suggested by the stories about Jesus.

Jesus even consorted with prostitutes and forgave the woman caught in adultery!

So where did the Churches' teachings come from?

In my experience the carrot and stick approach is enlisted by ruling elites in order to keep the masses under control.

And the Church was part of the Conservative Establishment.

   

So it would seem that instead of changing that State in line with Jesus' religion they had changed his religion to suit the State.

And they based their teachings upon such things as tradition which Jesus criticized in the Pharisees.

But it should be no surprise that Jesus' Church resembles the Pharisees. 

Both form part of the ruling establishment and therefore attract people who want power over others.

Hence the whited sepulchers.

It may come as a surprise to some, however, that this does not reflect the nature of God.

How could God's representatives not reflect the nature of God?

  

Precisely for the reasons stated above.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

It still does not.

A Tiny Remnant.

The Church still has further to decline before any revival can begin.

It will not die altogether - there is always a remnant.

But in 10, 15 years the older generation will be dead and the Church will be tiny.

But it is my belief that this tiny remnant will revolutionize Christianity by adopting the precepts of progressive religion.

Only then, when the last hope of survival is gone, will the Church change and become what it was destined to be.

And that is an outward-looking group of people committed to practising the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

Only then will the Church revive.

Transcendent God.

God transcends our human concepts of dualism, authority, and power.

God is totally non-violent, totally benevolent, and totally loving.

God is our Mother/Father.

God punishes no one.

God curses no one.

God is light without shadow, good without evil, love without hatred.

God redeems even the most wicked souls.

God is transcendent - beyond sin and evil.

God is wholly good.

Celibacy.

Assumptions of the celibacy or sexlessness of the Christ play right into the hands of Satanists who claim dominion over all sex.

The Church gets the blame and the devil gets the sex.

This ensures that the vast majority of adolescents will choose sex.

Whether they consciously realize that they are choosing Satanism or not.

This is why their caps are on backwards and they make the sign of the devil and they poke out their tongues.

These things are Satanic symbols linked to sex.

They copy the rock stars and celebrities who have sold their souls for fame and fortune.

And they blame the Church for everything.

The Joker.

Satanists in the entertainment industries are using modern revelations about the scriptures to ridicule religion.

They hope that this will cause young people to reject religion altogether.

They are trying to destroy the Church, religion, and even God. 

Since the 1980s stand up comedians have been selling their souls for fame and fortune.

Some of the effects are obvious.

But Satanic comedy goes back to the 1960s and beyond.

They push drugs, alcohol, sex, and violence.

Many of them are blasphemous.

So don't reject religion merely because some comedy team ridicules it.

For it is religion that will save us.

The Day of Benediction.

 

Just as we have replaced Original Sin with Original Blessing we should replace Judgement Day with Benediction Day.

Because when God comes He does not judge us He blesses us.

So those on the right are justified and honored.

And those on the left are loved and forgiven.

Because God judges no one.

He knows the reasons for our transgressions.

Our fears and our mistakes.

And He forgives us.

He blots out our errors.

And He enfolds us in His Love.

Free us from all violence and hate.

Take from us all jealousy and fear.

Healing.

The Hippie Generation were betrayed by their rock stars into lives of drugs and degradation.

They are damaged.

But rather than blaming them we should be praying for their healing.

It was not their fault.  

It was the fault of the rock legends who betrayed them.

The Hippies are the victims of Satanism in rock music.

It was a set-up from the beginning.

We were told to take drugs and practise Yoga.

This is a transgression of Eastern Religious teachings.

So beware of anyone who tells you to take drugs to achieve enlightenment.

They are most likely Satanists.

And pray for those who have been damaged by drugs and evil to be protected and return to health.

He Who Deceives the Whole World.

The devil has been called: "He who deceives the whole world."

And while I do not believe in a real devil I do believe that we are deceived by devil-worshippers.

Satanists in rock music, media, sports, and entertainment deceive everyone.

They pose as saviors and messiahs but they are dogs (gods backwards) and divas (evil goddesses).

They are wolves in sheeps' clothing.

They are whited sepulchers.

They tempt you and corrupt you.

They distract you and disturb you.

They lead you astray and sabotage any spiritual quest.

This is what happened to the Hippie Generation.

Peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll.

Liberalism became decadence.

And our ideals were lost.

Subsequent generations have been corrupted and controlled.

Pure evil, sin, filthy, wicked, despicable, abominable.....

All these things derive from Satanism in rock music and entertainment.

So be aware.

We are being deceived.

God's Love.

Although we may not be aware of it God loves us.

He is waiting for us.

He listens to our prayers.

And He knows what is best for us.

God may not respond in the way we expect.

There are things of which we are unaware.

Things that take time to change.

But God will always respond.

So love God and love your neighbor.

Then you may know the Love of God.

Children of the Living God.

"But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God."  John 1:12 (NRSV)

What does it mean to become children of God?

Jesus used the expression in the Beatitudes: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."  Matthew 5:9 (NRSV)  

Jesus used the word children when he was saying that a person was like something.

So children of God means that we are like God.

And how do we become like God?

If we follow Jesus' commandments to love God and love our neighbor , to love even our enemies, to love one another as he loved us, then we will become like God.

In God there is no violence, no judgement, no punishment, no hell.

God redeems even those we call evil.

God shows mercy and forgiveness to the most heinous criminals.

God writes off our debts.

And gives us another chance.

So to be Children of the Living God is to be totally benevolent.

A blessing to all humankind.

Satanism.

After discovering the Satanic nature of rock music and much of our popular culture I returned to the Church.

And there I found the words and images necessary to counteract the Satanic curses I had uncovered.

This is because it was these positive words and images that they had reversed in order to create Satanism.

Death, darkness, hate, brutality, blame, night, hell, black, beast, monster, devil, evil.....

These are the words and images of Satanism.

Life, light, love, mercy, forgiveness, day, heaven, white, dove, lamb, God, good.....

It is these things that will save us.

Harmful and Helpful.

Rather than moral imperatives or mental principles God's Will is that we refrain from what is harmful to others and ourselves and engage is what is helpful to everyone.

If we analyze the 10 Commandments the first 5 relate to worshipping God and the second 5 relate to refraining from harmful behavior.

And if we look at the Beatitudes they speak to us of what is helpful behavior.

So we should not get hung up on the Thou shalt not statements. 

They were given as guidelines to stop harmful behavior.

And we should rejoice in the Beatitudes which tell us what is helpful to everyone.

The True Nature of God.

So if God is not like the Church what is He like?

God is wholly good, wholly benevolent, wholly loving.

God epitomizes mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and love.

There is no anger, no judgement, no punishment, no vengeance in God.

God is our loving Father.

He will not condemn.

He redeems even the most heinous sinners.

And He takes us to Himself when we die.

The Roof.

The Roof is what Satanists call their impersonation of God.

Satanists working in the music and entertainment industries use the mind powers which they gain by taking drugs and practising Yoga* to create a web of evil in the collective unconscious.

This web is backwards and upside-down.

So any supernatural phenomena will be experienced backwards.

Devils in Heaven / Saints in hell.

And the highest level of this is the Roof.

But this is the last deception.

Once we make contact with God through contemplation and prayer we see that God is the opposite of this deception.

Satanism induces: guilt, suffering, torture, death, and judgement.

But God shows us: mercy, forgiveness, understanding, and love.

So if we persevere we can make a hole in the Roof through which we can experience the goodness of God.

"Those who love me, I will deliver;

I will protect those who know my name.

When they call me, I will answer them;

I will be with them in trouble,

I will rescue them and honor them.

With long life I will satisfy them,

and show them my salvation." 

Psalm 91:14-16 (NRSV)

Choose Love.

We always have a choice.

When any situation confronts us we have a choice.

We can act out of fear and attack and condemn.

Or we can act out of love and endure and forgive.

We can react and dominate.

Or we can follow the way of love.

Choose love.
