Temptation.

The unholy alliance between right-wing corporations and Generation X has resulted in corruption and evil.

Satanic influences have tempted those in powerful positions to exploit, subjugate, and brainwash the masses.

They use their media outlets and the Internet to spread their propaganda and conduct vicious hate campaigns.

This has resulted in the largest disparity between rich and poor in history.

And tight-wing Fundamentalist Christians have been tempted to use their religion for political gain.

Demonization, damnation, shaming, and shunning of political enemies is common.

It is evil.

And it is conducted in the dark.

But the fact remains - they have succumbed to temptation.

13.

Claims that the number 13 represents the Christ Principle because there are 12 disciples are incorrect.

 

Christ is number 1 the number 13 relates to Judas.

13 is the devils number and it always has been.

Good People.

There are many good people in the world.

More good people than evil people.

But evil people are in control.

They dominate the workplace.

And they control us through music, sports, and entertainment.

They poison our minds through backtracking and subliminal messages.

And they sabotage our spiritual quest.

They curse us with the power of death.

Death to God.

And they consign us to the darkness.

And the devil is the Prince of Darkness.

But there is a higher power. 

God can overcome their evil.

Light, Life, and Love.

The Light will lead us to the truth.

And our love will leads us into Life.

Even to Eternal Life!

The Kingdom.

"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force."  Matthew 11:12 (NRSV)

"The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force.  But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter of the law to be dropped."  Luke 16:16 (NRSV)

By this Jesus means that you cannot just take the Kingdom of Heaven you must observe the commandments of the law - and the first commandments of the law are to love God and to love your neighbor.

John the Baptist preached honesty and charity - this was preparation for the full revelation of Jesus that is love.

This is why the practise of Yoga requires restraints and observances (Yamas and Niyamas) - these are  preparation for union* with God.

But we are not to apply these principles fanatically.

The Middle Path of Moderation recommended by the Buddha allows for concessions according to understanding.  This is the prerogative of love.

(*Yoga means union.)

Guilt Complex.

The Hippies have a guilt complex.

Because they took drugs in their youth they unconsciously blame themselves for all their problems.

But we were set up from the beginning.

The drug culture which dogged the Hippie Generation was deliberately created by rock musicians who followed the dark teachings of Aleister Crowley.

Aleister Crowley advocated the use of drugs in conjunction with Yoga in order to develop special powers.

And his apprentices - the rock stars - pushed drugs onto their unwitting fans.

So we should not blame ourselves but the rock stars who sold their souls* for fame and fortune.

Their evil influence is to blame not us.

So you can clear your conscience, forgive yourself, and pray for healing and Salvation.

(Aleister Crowley's writings include instructions for making deals with the devil.)

Open Your Heart.

I pray for employers to open their hearts to their workers.

I pray for Fundamentalists to open their hearts to gays and lesbians.

I pray for nationalists to open their hearts to immigrants.

But what is it that stops us opening our hearts to others?

Fear.

Only fear.
