The Back-Breaker.

                            

How did Ronald Reagan defeat Communism in Russia?

The answer is that he sent Satanic rock bands into Russia from the U.S.A. to inspire dissatisfaction in the youth and enlisted Pope John Paul II to foment religious rebellion from Poland across Eastern Europe and Mother Russia to save them.

This was the Back-Breaker that forced the end of Communism in Russia.

Generation to Generation.

                            

Fear has been handed down from generation to generation.

The generation born in the 1930s grew up during the Great Depression and World War II.

Fear made them compromise their principles and embrace a materialistic philosophy.

After the security of the 1950s and 1960s their children (Generation X) encountered inflation and a recession which triggered their inherited fears.

Generation X sold out all ethical considerations in their pursuit of financial security.

Intimidation, violence, and evil at their hands saw society swing wildly to the right.

"Nightmare on Elm Street", "Friday the 13th", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Blood Sucking Freaks", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".....

"Material Girl", "Like a Virgin", "Bad", "Thriller", "Cream", "Show no Mercy", "Kick", "The Devil Inside".....

Saw them boast that they were pure evil.

They embraced Satan and the dark side.

Blasphemy and transgression became fashionable.

And money was their god.

Ronald Reagan harnessed their violence to reconstruct the Baby-Boomers whose idealism and socialism was seen as a threat to economic prosperity.

We were blamed and shamed, disgraced, intimidated, and coerced.

But the Baby-Boomers were innocent.

History is written by the winners.

Ronald Reagan is a hero of Capitalism.

And Generation X have been whitewashed.

But the fact remains that they turned to evil and the devil to win.

Unconventional Weapons.

                                        

Ronald Reagan was quoted as saying that Christianity contained "unconventional weapons".

By this he was referring to such things as: demonization of your political opponent, damnation of your enemies, judgement, shame, guilt, and fear.

He combined this with astrology and End Times expectations associated with the Millennium and Judgement Day to force changes in society and the political landscape of the world.

Fortuitous events like the AIDS Pandemic and the rebellious nature of Generation X played right into his hands.

But victory does not justify violence and hatred.

Jesus said of them: "'Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.'"  Matthew 23:15 (NRSV)

Other Stuff.

                            

When we experience something of God's Love we are assailed by all those who think that they know better.

So we are told to do other stuff.

This other stuff includes:
Earning Heaven by good works.
Conforming to unnecessary behavioral expectations.
Asceticism including abstinence from sex.
Subscribing to rigid moral imperatives.
Homophobia.
Political Conservatism.
Negative self-imaging.
Mind games.

All this is underpinned by fear of damnation and false images of God.

But God does not punish us.

He is not an agent of Natural Justice.

God is our loving Father.

He forgives and nurtures everyone.

God does not require righteousness but goodness.

His mercy is infinite.

And His Love is everlasting.

This is Good News.

So open your heart to God and to others.

And don't listen to the other stuff.

Flow.

                            

What is needed in our world today is a flow of goodwill and action to areas of need.

"and it was distributed to each as any had need."  Acts 4:35 (NRSV)

This applies to money, resources, personal presence, and support.

What is stopping us from doing this?

The answer is: we have hardened our hearts to people.

Fear causes us to harden our hearts.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment,"  1 John 4:18 (NRSV)

Were we able to overcome our fears and open our hearts the world would be a different place.

As water flows around obstacles and barriers so our love must flow to all those in need.

The Will?

                            

We now know what we need to do to address the problems of poverty and starvation in our world.

We now have the means to do it.

But do we have the will?

The Light.

                            

After the darkness comes the Light.

There is a glimmer of Light on the Internet.

Activist sites are combining with charities and religious groups to challenge the rule of the corporate plutocrats.

Pope Francis I, Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Progressive Christians, Progressive Muslims.....

All are campaigning for peace and justice in our world.

A new Light has come.

We must follow the path of non-violent resistance if we are to reverse the slow decline of our world into darkness and evil.

And we must reverse the hardening of the hearts of humanity.

Cold, hard hearts must glow with a new warmth.

Fear must be overcome with Love.

And evil must be banished forever.

Looking for Clues.

                            

Do not take Satanism at face value.

The snake has a forked tongue.

"Nobody's wise 'til they see how it lies."

And when there is suspicion they are ready with an alibi.

"Possession is causing suspicion but there's no proof."

But there is proof if you will believe your own eyes.

Backwards and upside-down images and words betray Satanic content.

And it is not just overtly Satanic rock bands that do this.

Others are also involved - from pop stars to superstars to sports men and women.

So turn on your radar and suss out suspicious content.

These are the clues to Satanism in rock music and entertainment.

Gay Marriages.

                            

Now that Gay Marriage is legal in Australia the Churches must address the issue if Gay Marriages in churches

I see no obstacle to blessing Gay Marriages in church.

Objections based on misinterpretations of archaic laws and regulations are no longer valid.

And once the Church agrees to bless Gay Marriages the issue of gay sex becomes irrelevant.

How many marriages has the Church blessed between couples living in de-facto relationships?

To object to gay sex outside of marriage would be hypocritical.

So we will see an end to the conflict forever.

Aquarius.

                                         

Homosexuality is ruled by the astrological sign of Aquarius.

So as we move into the Age of Aquarius homosexuality will become more normative.

Far from dire predictions of genocide and suppression homosexuality will become acceptable to the majority.

We are beginning to see this now.

Homosexual people are emerging from the shadow of AIDS and demanding the equality they deserve.

And we will not rest until homosexuality is legal in all the countries of the world.

A Place Prepared.

                  

The AIDS Pandemic inspired damnation in the religious and the non-religious alike.

It seemed that the whole world was against us.

But the year before the Pandemic began I dreamt that I was in Heaven and a place was prepared for gay men.

I saw the Throne of God caressed by a gentle zephyr.

But as I turned to return I saw great winds and storms in the Earth.

And so we experience great conflicts and great opposition on Earth.

But we find peace and love in Heaven.

The Sistine Chapel.

                                       

The Sistine Chapel is the Holy of Holies of the Catholic Church.

Michelangelo's frescoes contain many homosexual references and affirmations.

These allow gay men to harmonize their faith and their homosexuality in a symphony of spiritual same-sex love.

Meditation on these images can be a channel for gay men to the One God.

And listening to the music of Palestrina and Allegri sung in the Sistine Chapel can be a blessing from the Lord God Himself.

A Church for Gay Men.

                                          

When the Hindu religion became too rigid and set in the Caste System God sent the Buddha to the peoples of Asia.

When Judaism and Christianity excluded the Arab races from their religions God sent the prophet Mohammed.

Now that mainstream Christianity has largely excluded gay people from their churches God has sent us to preach tolerance and create a Church for Gay Men.

Community.

                            

I remember an episode of Seinfeld in which someone mentioned the community.

Jerry's response was: "Oh there's a community is there?"

In church the sermon was about community.

The fact that I don't see anyone from Monday to Saturday seems not to count.

It's all very well to stand up there and spout about a loving Christian community but if no one does it it's a waste of time.

It's not good enough.

And that's why the Church is dying.

History Repeating.

                            

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

The Millennials are thought to resemble the Hippie Generation.

And astrologically they are similar.

But unless the Millennials learn from the experience of the Hippies they are doomed to repeat their mistakes.

Drugs, promiscuity, divorce, degradation.....

These things derive from sex and drugs and rock and roll.

And sex and drugs and rock and roll derives from Satanism in the music industry.

The rock legends of the 1960s and 1970s betrayed their fans and sold them down the river.

They have not recovered.

Blocks.

                            

Modern society has resolved into ideo-political blocks.

And these blocks do not interact except where there is conflict.

Increasing hostility and frustration may see outbreaks of violence at any time.

So we should advocate peace and non-violence at all times.

Resolution of conflict through dialogue and conciliatory action is the only way forward.

But if the powers of the world dig in there could be war.

Peace.

                               

The time has come to bury the hatchet.

To bury the hatchet between the generations.

To bury the hatchet between right and left.

To bury the hatchet between Christians and Muslims.

To bury the hatchet between Muslims and Jews.

To bury the hatchet between straight and gay.

To bury the hatchet between men and women.

To bury the hatchet between good and evil.

God does not punish us.

No one will perish.

Love overcomes fear.

Make Peace.

Love.

                            

The ancient Egyptians aspired to The Wisdom of the Heart.

The Yoga of Love is the highest Yoga. (Bhagavad-Gita)

God looks on the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7)

The way is in the heart. (Buddha)

Love God and love your neighbor. (Jesus)

Islam is to be lost in love for God. (Sufism)

All religions are in awe of Love.

Because God is Love.

My Love.

My Love

Is like a river

Flowing from my heart.

Endless waves

Of precious love

Flow through me.

I give them to you

And more love comes.

I love you.

May you always

Welcome and treasure

My Love.

Adulation.

                            

Do not sell your soul for the adulation of the crowd.

Adulation is a pale facsimile of Love.

Superstars.

                            

Rock legends, superstars, and sporting heroes.

It is these who make up the ranks of Satanists in our world.

They sell their souls and believe that the devil rewards them for their dirty deeds.

But there is no devil in reality.

Fame and fortune come from talent and hard work.

But the damage they do remains.

Whole generations have been wrecked by drugs and alcohol, promiscuous sex and divorce.

We are cursed and corrupted, blamed and shamed.

This is the great secret of our time.

And it is the reason that our world is mired in darkness.

Ways.

                  

There are many ways to God:

The Way of Asceticism.

The Way of Knowledge.

The Way of Good Works.

But the greatest is:

The Way of Love.

The Father.

                                     

"'Lord, show us the Father,'"  John 14:8 (NRSV)

This is what the disciples asked of Jesus.

Could it be that they did not know the Father?

The disciples often misunderstood Jesus - coming as they did from a strict Jewish Orthodoxy.

But Jesus was unorthodox.

He said that the world did not know God.

So what can we say of God?

God is transcendent - beyond sin and evil.

God is beautiful and sublime.

God is wholly good.

God does not judge or punish us.

God is merciful and forgiving.

God is our loving Father.

Pool of Light.

                            

God's hand has prepared us to receive His Light.

Gone are the fears of judgement and punishment.

Gone are the delusions of Dualism.

Gone are the lies of literal interpretation.

Gone are the expectations of Natural Justice.

In their place are: mercy, forgiveness, compassion, generosity, benevolence, faith, and hope.

But it is the concept of unconditional love that opens the sanctuary of our hearts.

Love God and love your neighbor.

Love even your enemies.

For God's transcendent Love is for everyone.

Black is Beautiful.

I am black and beautiful.

Rightly do they love you.

Your love is better than wine.

Your eyes are like doves.

Your arms rounded.

Your body ebony.

Your legs like massive columns.

No one compares with you.

Rightly do they love you.

(Adapted from Song of Solomon.)

Our Love.

                                     

We will not always be loved.

But when love is gone.

We can open our hearts.

And give love to others.

Food of Life.

                                   

As human beings we are engendered by love.

Love is the Food of Life.

Without love we shrivel and die.

With love we grow and blossom.

Back to the Future.

                                      

With the advent of the Millennials we may see a return to the idealism of the Baby-Boomers.

At last the Sword of Damocles will be lifted and we can be ourselves again.

My advice to the Baby-Boomers is to go back to the beginning - before you were reconstructed - and recreate the peace and love of the early days.

I would also strongly advise that we don't follow celebrities and rock stars of dubious virtue.

It was these who betrayed us in the first place.

Covert Satanism in the form of Aleister Crowley's teachings infected rock bands from the 1960s and 1970s onwards.

So we can return to the idealism of peace and love without the curse of rock and roll.
