I am One

with all Life!

The birds and the butterflies.

The ants and the trees.

Beautiful flowers.

The air that we breathe.

The earth beneath us.

The warmth of the sun.

The depth of the seas.

Playful dolphins.

Great whales.

All that God made

is one creation -

interdependent

and One with Him!

Equals.

Aquarius is all about equality.

So when we say that gay men worship muscle it is not intended to be taken literally.

Satanists operating in the sex industry will try to corrupt bodybuilders by telling them that they will be worshipped like gods.

But we should not bow down to men.

"I am the Lord your God.....
.....you shall have no other gods before me."  Exodus 20:2,3 (NRSV)

"'And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father - the one in heaven.'"  Matthew 23:9 (NRSV)

So be sure when you admire bodybuilders that you are not committing blasphemy.

For we worship one Father - the one in Heaven.

And all men are equal in His sight.

Sex as Life.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll leads to death to God and damnation.

This is what we are being fed.

Scorpio equals sex and death.

This is what they believe.

So we are constantly tempted with sex and drugs through rock and roll.

But these ideas do not correspond to reality.

In reality sex is a vital function which is an expression of life itself.

And as such it is intimately related to God, the author of Life.

So do not fall for their sex equals death songs and videos.

We should cultivate a healthy and sensible attitude towards sex as life.

Sex Workers.

Those who choose to work in the sex industry - prostitutes, nude models, strippers, and muscle jocks deserve to earn enough money to live on.

No one, however, should be forced to work in the sex industry because of poverty, prejudice, or racism.....

They deserve a good job that pays enough to support them and any dependants they may have.

But if people choose to work in sex jobs they should not be made to feel that they are in any way less human than the rest of us.

Some people look down on such people as dirty, or depraved, even evil.

But they are human beings like everyone else.

Many of them have beautiful bodies and good and generous hearts.

It is not for us to judge them.

Culture Wars.

In recent times the extremes of social and cultural philosophies have devolved into Culture Wars.

The extremes of liberalism and conservatism between which the pendulum has swung over the last century have become locked in a battle for supremacy.

These two positions are represented in astrology by the planets Uranus (liberalism) and Saturn (conservatism).

Ironically these are the two planets which rule the sign of Aquarius - the Age into which we are now entering.

So what will happen?

My understanding of Aquarius is that it is essentially liberal but contains certain conservative aspects.

Some of these will correspond.

For example the Saturnian concern for unselfishness and consideration for others corresponds to the Uranian attitude of altruism.

The Saturnian practise of charity corresponds to the Uranian attitude of humanitarianism.

The Saturnian concern for family may be met by the Uranian approach of unconditional love for all.

The Saturnian attitudes of gratitude, patience, self-discipline, and respect can be included in Aquarius without challenging the Uranian concern for freedom and individuality.

Perhaps this is the meaning of Aquarius.

So, rather than engaging in Culture Wars, we should be aiming to harmoniously blend aspects of the two planets that govern Aquarius.

Respect for others' rights.

Respect for the environment.

Same-sex marriage.

The right to life after the quickening (when the child becomes a separate being).

The banning of genetic engineering that is without concern for illness or deformity.

Moderation in the expression of sexuality.

Voluntary volunteering.

Compulsory voting.

Obeying the law of the land.

These are some examples of a sensible approach to harmonizing the two aspects of Aquarius.

Perhaps this is the way forward, rather than trying to win the war.

Conspiracy.

Despite the dubious reputation of conspiracy theories in our world I believe that there is an international conspiracy.

This is the conspiracy of Satanists which began with the rock bands of the 1960s and has since spread to movies, T.V., literature, and sports.

What can be seen is just the tip of the iceberg:

Flames, skulls, snakes, spiders, death, darkness, magic, vampires, evil.....

These are the visible symbols of a huge negative influence much of which is subliminal and subconscious.

There is no devil in reality but the damage remains.

So unplug your earphones and turn off the T.V..

Pray to God in secret.

And He will deliver you.

Music.

I read a report on the Internet which suggested that listening to certain types of music boosted athletic performance by up to 10%.

While I would be sceptical about the veracity of these claims I do believe that different types of music affect us in different ways.

Rock music, for example, affects the pleasure centers of the brain and can become addictive like a drug.

Classical music, on the other hand, puts us into a more concentrated state.

Mozart's music in particular is known to put the mind into a heightened alpha state.

This is much more beneficial to us than the disturbing effects of rock music.  And what words are entering our minds while we listen?

It is not true that rock music boosts your energy levels any more than energetic classical music.

So be wary of artists who claim that listening to their music boosts performance.

They're probably just trying to sell C.D.s.

Michelangelo.

Bodybuilders aspire to emulate the perfect beauty of Michelangelo.

And sometimes they forget that Michelangelo was gay.

Many bathe in the admiration of men but will not admit to any homoerotic component.

Michelangelo interpreted the beauty that he saw in men.
And this beauty has survived to this day.

So when you admire the manly beauty of Michelangelo remember that he was gay.

Aquarius Corrupted.

What will happen if Aquarius is corrupted?

Will Satanism in the popular culture turn it into a licentious cosmic hedonism?

Or will the rich and powerful put the bottom back in and make it a puppet of the conservative establishment with its rewards and punishments and its heaven and hell?

Either way we must be vigilant.
We must watch constantly for signs of corruption.
We must guard against modifications to the good news.

The good news that God does not punish us; there is no hell, no devil, no judgement.

And that God is love and forgiveness for all.

Good Deeds.

Many religious people condemn pornography.

But pornography is a manifestation of compassion for those who do not have a partner and cannot get sex.

These people, which includes many gay men and disabled people, suffer rejection and neglect.

Pornography is a relief from that suffering.

Gay men worship muscle.

The muscle worship sites on the Internet act as a safety net for those gay men, and there are many of them, who cannot get sex with musclemen in real life.

The bodybuilders themselves do this out of the goodness of their hearts.

They show pity and compassion for gay men and give of themselves without constraint.

And it is safe.

Surely these are good deeds.

Making Things Worse.

In the movie The Never Ending Story the villain is something called The Nothing.  And everyone is trying to escape it.

People experience this in real life.

It is caused by people taking instead of giving.
They bleed you dry and use you up.
Leaving nothing.

People try all sorts of things to remedy this situation:
Drugs, sex, money, possessions, food, shopping, magic, power, politics, fame.....

But those who turn to Satan are making the biggest mistake.
Because Satanism is religion backwards - it teaches you to take and not to give.

So they are in fact making things worse.

What is the Good News?

So what is the good news?

1.  We are not condemned.
The story of Adam and Eve is a myth that was created to answer the question - Why is life like it is?
It is not the only explanation for toil and suffering.
Rather we are blessed - "God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good."  Genesis 1:31a (NRSV)

2.  We do not have to take every word of the Bible as literally true.
The Bible was not dictated by God.
The Bible is a collection of writings over a long period of time by many different writers that records humanity's experience of the One God.

3.  God does not punish us.
Bad experiences in life are not evidence that God is punishing us.
Rather bad experiences are the result of the ignorant actions of human beings or the indifferent functions of nature.

4.  God will not judge us.
If God does not punish us then there can be no hell.
Hell is completely out of character for a loving God.

5. God loves us.
God is our loving Father and He does not punish His children.

6.  Jesus was not divine in any way that others are not.
Jesus was a human being like you or me who drew close to God through prayer, study, and love.

7.  Jesus' death was not required by God to atone for our sins.
Jesus was not a human sacrifice.
He was put to death by earthly authorities because he had become a threat to their power.

8.  Jesus will not return to judge us all.

9.  The Book of Revelation does not describe current events.
The so-called End Times predicted the fall of Rome, the end of the ancient world, and the establishment of Christendom.

10.  We have now reached the end of the Age of Pisces.
The next age - the Age of Aquarius - is beginning now.

11.  The Age of Aquarius will see a New Covenant with God.

The Last and the Least.

In our haste to help our loved ones we often forget the last and the least.

Along with our prayers for family and friends we should also pray for those who have no family and no friends.

These are: the disabled, the poor, the sick, the destitute, the abused, the homeless, the starving, the oppressed, the persecuted, asylum seekers, beggars, and single parents.....

We should also pray for the rich and powerful.
Pray that they overcome their fears and open their hearts to their workers and employees, their sons and daughters.

So do not forget the last and the least when you pray.

God will hear.

Gross Hypocrisy.

Despite the decline of religious based morality the modern stigma associated with sexual indiscretion is as bad as it ever was.

This is because of feminism.

Women use the accusation of sexual indiscretion as a weapon against men.

This can be clearly seen in the lives of several leading sportsmen who have had affairs or have had sex with young women.

The cry is how unfair it is to his wife or the young women involved.

Feminists are also against pornography because it can involve the sexual exploitation of women and therefore represents men's power over women.

And all this at the same time as women's use of male strippers and toy boys.

It is gross hypocrisy and should be recognized as such.

I am Gay.

If you have any respect for the things that I write on this blog.....

Respect the fact that I am gay.

If this collides with your preconceived ideas of what a spiritual person should be then look at your reasons and perceptions.

I will not predict what you will find.

But I know that God does not discriminate.

He loves us all like His children.

And love does not discriminate.

Left Behind.

The Church that is emerging now is progressive, credible, and new.

Gone are the negative doctrines of Original Sin and Penal Substitution.

Gone are the myths of a Virgin Birth and a physical Resurrection.

Gone are the destructive doctrines of Sin.

Gone are the weapons of fear and guilt.

In their place is the pure doctrine of unconditional love.

There is love and forgiveness for all.

And those who are clinging desperately to the old certainties are being left behind.

Making the Hole Bigger.

The world is in darkness.

But God has made a hole in the serpent of cloud.

This involves seeing the darkness itself - the lies and malice which has been spread by rock bands and superstars for fifty years and more.

The Truth is that since the 1960s rock bands have been selling Satanism to an unsuspecting audience, poisoning them and sabotaging their spiritual quest.

It is no coincidence that hardly any trace of 1960s idealism remains.
Peace and love is long dead and all we have now is money and sex.

But, far from being accidental or historical, this has been done deliberately.

It is called death.
And it is caused by sex and drugs and rock and roll.

They turn musclemen into monsters and sexual predators.

They turn gays and hippies into promiscuous drug addicts.

They turn women into man-hating hypocrites, witches, and shopping addicts.

It is little wonder that they are all divorced.

And they pass it all off as a joke.

Hell forever - very funny.

Pure evil - hilarious.

The devil - the joker.

He is a ringmaster and a criminal, a liar and a cheat, a torturer and a villain.

But there is no devil in reality only God's Love.

Once we realize that we are being deceived and cursed we can begin to find our way out of the shroud of darkness which covers the world.

This means making the hole bigger by spreading the news about Satanism in the world and the benevolent nature of God's Love.

All of this has caused a massive surplus of good karma.

So do not be afraid.

God is waiting for you.

Call on God.

And He will deliver you.

The Blame.

Do you blame gays for AIDS?

Do you blame Hippies for the recesssion?

Do you blame the Church for prudery?

Do you blame God for human suffering?


We all play the blame game.


But Jesus taught forgiveness.

Forgiveness breaks the cycle of hatred.

Forgiveness wipes out debt.

Forgivennes sets us free.

Flower Child.

We are used to seeing saints depicted with halos around their heads.

But a saint should be depicted with a delicate pink flower blossoming in his heart.

This represents the gentle love and kindness that a saint shows towards others.

It is beautiful and friendly.
Not in any way threatening.

More in keeping with a flower child than a moral doyen.

The Prophecy.

When it comes to the Age of Aquarius there is no prophecy other than the attributes of Aquarius itself.

There is no promised messiah or individual as was seen with Jesus, the Piscean messiah.  His story was prophesied in the Hebrew scriptures.

But Aquarius is different.
We should not project our expectation that the fate of Jesus will repeat itself.  Nor should we look to The Book of Revelation which prophesied the fall of Rome and the end of the ancient world and the establishment of Christendom.

What happens now may be quite different.

There are no prophecies about the Age of Aquarius other than the astrological attributes of Aquarius itself.

And what are these attributes?

Aquarius governs: gay and lesbian people, equality, humanitarianism, altruism, liberalism, liberty, fraternity, universal brotherhood and sisterhood, humanism, charity, activism, sympathy, freedom, telepathy, clairvoyance and clairaudience, technology, electricity, the Internet, and democracy.....

It also governs groups.
So the Aquarian messiah may not be an individual at all, it may be a group of souls, or even an idea.

Aquarius is an air sign, it governs our concepts.
And as it governs change, the new, and the future this may involve a change to our conceptual structure.

The modern ruler of Aquarius is Uranus.  But Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn so there may be aspects that relate to the social structure of our societies worldwide.

The left and right political aspects of parliaments are also indicated.

This is all we have to go on.

But I think we can see what it is not.
It is not the power of the plutocracy - rule by the rich - or inequality in the form of economic or social elites.  It is not dark and sinister.  It is not conventional or orthodox or conservative.

It is individual.
And it has a soft heart from which flows love that is unconditional to all humanity, all wildlife, and to the earth itself.

Light.

Once we have escaped the shadows we can move towards the light.

God is the white light, the source of all goodness and love.

We can contact Him through study, prayer, and contemplation.

God is reliable.
He is trustworthy and helpful.

The things of God are: light, white, flowers, doves, beauty, tears, compassion, charity, forgiveness, wisdom, mercy, breath, lambs, sheep, hearts, heaven.....

Meditate on these things and you will draw closer to God.

Pray to God and He will answer you.

Shadows.

From the shadows evil manipulates everything - attacking the holy, distracting the good, feeding corruption, creating darkness, opposing the light.....

They whitewash evil and vilify good.

Darkness hides them.

They are famous people - rock stars and actors, writers and directors, sports men and women.....

The things to look out for are: darkness, black, violence, death, the sign of the devil, tongues, horns, profanity, blasphemy, negations, emptiness, 666, 13, the Beast, flames, hell.....

This is Satanic magic and it works on the unconscious.

So unplug your earphones and switch off the T.V..

And together we will save the world.

Getting Your Hands Dirty.

We cannot just live in an ivory tower feeling pure and clean and judging others.

We have to get our hands dirty.

We cannot be afraid of immorality or corruption.

We have to meet people where they live.

And not judge them for what we think are their sins.

But to love them.

And to show them mercy and compassion.

To be agents of God's infinite forgiveness.

We must never forget that we are dealing with human beings no matter how low we might think they have sunk.

And it is not for us to clean them up or to impose our moral assumptions. But to show them love and compassion for their suffering.

To bless them.

And to pray to God for their ultimate benefit.

The News.

When I was growing up in the 1960s journalism was held in some esteem by the public as an honorable profession.

Now it is in the gutter.

Thanks to an ex-patriot Australian the world's media is a nightmare of cheap sex, propaganda, and corruption.

Add to this the covert Satanic influences in our music, movies, and literature, plus the brutal philosophy in sports and you have a recipe for disaster.

And a disaster it is.

No one can challenge the plutocrats who rule our world.

Reactionary violence explodes around the globe.

At home we are poisoned and controlled.

We are constantly distracted.

And nothing ever changes.

"Why?  Why?  Why?"  I hear you ask.
As if to mimic the very news that controls us.

Because we are all deceived.

Evil diverts and distracts us.
It corrupts and controls us.
It tempts and betrays us.

And still we watch and listen to it.

Turn it off.

Throw it away.

It is worthless garbage that infects and destroys us.

Turn to God in study and prayer.

And He will deliver you from evil.

Truth.

Contrary to popular belief I do not think that the post-crucifixion interpretations of Peter and Paul represent Truth with capital T.

The Truth resides in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
The teachings of open-hearted love, forgiveness, and mercy; of goodness and justice.

Jesus was crucified and the light went out of the world.

We were left with a lesser understanding.

Although the disciples may have experienced the Holy Spirit after Jesus' resurrection this was never enough to attain the heights of the original vision - the revelations given to Jesus, the anointed, the chosen one.

So I do not follow the theologies that derive from Peter and Paul.

I follow the teachings of their master Jesus of Nazareth.

The Social Environment.

Some of it is hostility.

Some of it is fear.

Some of it is projected guilt.

Some of it is prejudice and stereotyping.

Some of it is behavioural clashes (transgressions).

Some of it is generational conflict.

Some of it is hidden evil.


These are the negative influences in our social environment.


But there is also:

Benevolence.

Help.

Charity.

Blessings.

And Love.

Role.

Those who have sold their souls and embraced evil (mostly in rock music) assume the role of the devil.

This is an attempt to legitimize their activities.

They play the role of the tempter, the tester of our faith.

But this is not the truth.
Their activities are in no way sanctioned by God.

It is not a game of temptation and damnation.

They lie, they cheat, they deceive and mislead you.
They even move and control you.

This is not in any way a fair fight.

There is no devil in reality.

So how can he make war with God?

They are deluded.

Pray to God and He will deliver you.

The only Reality is God's Love.
