Seasons.

The sunshine of Summer.

A red tree in Autumn.

A fire in Winter.

The blossoms of Spring.

The Golden Calf.

We are constantly told to work harder, compete, cope, consume, accumulate, watch, and spend.....

We are told to be tough, ruthless, strong, selfish, and aggressive.....

We are never told to follow the ways of God.
To show kindness, mercy, compassion, consideration, honesty, justice, forgiveness, truthfulness, and love.....

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.  Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart.  Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.  Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house, and on your gates."  Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NRSV)

This is telling Israel, God's chosen people, to follow the ways of God at all times.

If this kind of love was shown between people on earth we would all be in heaven.

But we don't.

We follow the golden calf of materialism.

And the world is in darkness.

Loving Our Enemies.

When we first encounter Jesus' commandment to love our enemies we are at once mystified and enchanted.

Albeit that no reason is given.

A possible reason is that God does not adjudicate.
He does not declare winners and losers.

All are equally loved no matter of innocence or guilt.

This may offend our sense of natural justice.
But God does not judge by our earthly standards.
All are forgiven.
All get a second chance.

And what makes us think we are better than others in any case.
If we are forgiven our errors.
So will others be forgiven.

So, rather than trying to win, we should extend the hand of friendship and love to our enemies.

Then we will be like God.

Humility.

Powerful people

rule the world,

but the Holy comes

to dwell

amongst the humble.

On the Rocks.

Unless we recognize that rock music is the domain of Satanism our hopes for the Age of Aquarius are in vain.

Because if rock musicians are allowed to infiltrate and influence Progressive Christianity they will wreck it and damn it to hell.

The problem is that Progressive Christians don't believe in Satan and they erroneously believe that therefore there are no Satanists.

Heaven forbid that their precious rock legends are evil.

But this is indeed the case.

Rock musicians are like sirens luring us onto the rocks.
They divert us from our purpose and tempt us to transgress.
Then they pull the trigger and damn us to hell.

But there is no hell.
God punishes no one.

The damage done, however, remains.

Unless we steer clear of rock music our cherished dream of an Aquarian Age is on the rocks.

When the Light Goes Out.

When the light is crucified the darkness closes in.

And evil grins in the darkness.

Because once the light is gone from the world evil is free to manipulate everyone from the shadows.

Darkness hides them.

From the darkness they deceive the whole world.

And the blind lead the blind.

Wrecked.

The rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s wrecked a whole generation of idealists.

By turning peace and love into sex, drugs, and rock and roll they ensured that the hippies failed in their attempts to change the world.

They wrecked their bodies.
They wrecked their minds.
They wrecked their hopes.

By the 1980s when the political and cultural climate changed against them their rock stars deserted them.

They have not recovered.

Now, as we move into the Age of Aquarius, the next generation of young people is being set up in the same way.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll will wreck Aquarius in the same way unless we can warn young people of the dangers of rock music.

Look more closely at your videos and movies - see the evil and sabotage there.

And leave rock music behind.

Why?

People say to me, "Why do you continue to talk about Satanism in the music industry?  Why don't you just concentrate on the positive message of Love and forgiveness from God?"

The answer is simple:
When the light rises it illuminates both good and evil.
So not only do you see the Love and goodness of God but you also see the evil in the world.
And Satanism in the rock music industry is a major component of that evil.

Having experienced the negative psychic and spiritual effects of this first hand I am well qualified to speak about it.

If it were not for the active intervention of God I would still be in the hell that they designed for me.

And make no mistake these effects influence everyone.
They affect the mind and body in negative ways:
depression, suicidal thoughts, drug addiction, smoking, sex addiction, alcoholism, insanity, damnation, torture, and hell.....
All these things affect us in varying ways.

This is why it is necessary to counteract this influence with a positive spiritual influence.
At present this can only come from a church or spiritual community.
It is important that you choose a community which has compatible ideas with you or you may experience negative spiritual effects from the people around you.

But the positive spiritual influence which ultimately comes from God will help to counteract the negative effects from the rock music and popular culture.

And having experienced this myself I feel obliged to make others aware of it.

So that is why I continue to talk about Satanism in the music industry and the popular culture.

Islamic Law.

Islam is going through a phase that Christianity went through 500 years ago.

In an attempt to establish uniformity of belief Christian authorities resorted to horrific violence in the form of the Inquisition.

Islam now, in an attempt to establish Islamic states, is imposing Sharia Law by force.

The same use of terror to achieve their ends is marking their religion with a horrible scar.

Instead of these low manifestations of religion we should be studying the very highest manifestations of Islam and Christianity.

The Hindu concept of non-violence (ahimsa) could be helpful in bringing about a more peaceful world.

If we look to the highest manifestations of our religion we will find a convergence which leads through non-violence to the beauty and love of God.

The Lotus and the Rose.

The eastern symbol for the divine is the lotus.
This was so in Asia and Egypt.

The western symbol for the divine is the rose.

When a sage reaches enlightenment he begins to see visions of lotus flowers.

A saint sees visions of roses.

It has been said that flowers exist in both worlds.

The beauty of the lotus and the rose gives us a glimpse of the beauties of heaven.

And these beauties are a product of Love.
