Love and Tears.

At the heart of all religions you will find two things:

Love and Tears.

Love for all humanity.

And Tears for their sufferings.

Love.

A baby cries until you give him love.

A child delights in his parents love.

An adolescent feels the stirrings of love.

An adult searches the world for love.

To be loved is good.

But to love is even better.

We look for love in the outside world.

But we find love in our own hearts.

Give love to God and to all His children.

This is the ultimate lesson.

Healing.

Rather than blaming them and calling them "agents of the devil" we should be praying for the Hippies and Baby-Boomers.

Praying that they see what has been done to them.

Praying that they see who has done it and why.

Praying that they turn to God and be healed.

Love.

""Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.'"  Matthew 5:44,45 (NRSV)

God does not punish the wicked.

He loves them as He loves the good.

This is because He knows why they do evil.

It is the result of fear and false teachings.

So He does not judge them.

But He loves them.

Because love is the universal panacea.

And it is love that they are seeking.

So we should love our enemies and those who do evil.

Because it is love that will save us.

The Beast.

"Behold the Beast that was, is not, and yet is."  Revelation 17:8 (KJB)

This passage from Revelation describes perfectly the phenomenon of modern Satanism.

'It was' because rock stars and celebrities sold their souls.

'It is not' because the devil is not real.

'And yet is' because the damage they do remains.

It is brutality and violence.

It is sabotage and subterfuge.

It is hate and evil.

And it is real.

(KJB- King James Bible)

Bad.

People who call themselves bad for whatever reason are jealous of good people and try to corrupt them and bring them down.

Failing this they try to kill them.

This scenario is played out in the Biblical story of Cain and Abel.

Cain is jealous of God's blessing of the virtuous Abel and kills his good brother.

But what makes people think that they are bad in the first place?

A dark side, demons, and a fascination with evil are common characteristics of bad people.

They may have been naughty children.

But God can take away their demons and turn them to the good.

They can be transformed.

If only they would pray.

Maitreya.

The Buddhist practice of Maitri or loving kindness is named after the New Age Buddha Maitreya.

He is depicted with his left hand over his heart and his right hand in a gesture of blessing.

He balances tranquility and thought.

And he practises abundance and contentment.

He achieves full enlightenment.

And he teaches men and gods.

In China he is identified with the Laughing or Happy Buddha.

Cooperation.

The world's religions should concentrate on cooperating with each other in order to banish the world-wide conspiracy of Satanism which has engulfed us. 

Instead if fighting over who has the true message we should be looking for points of agreement.

To treat others as as we would wish to be treated ourselves is a view common to all religions.

That God is merciful is universal.

But the heart of each religion is God's Love for all humanity.

It is here that the world's religions meet.

And it is Love that will banish evil.

Getting It Right.

We should not be teaching people to judge.

We should not be teaching people to hate.

We should not be telling people they are guilty sinners.

We should not be holier than thou.

We should not be teaching people to fear.

We should learn to listen.

We should learn to weep.

We should learn to help.

But most of all:

 

We should learn to love.

Household.

The basic social unit in the ancient world was the household.

Commerce and productivity were based in the family dwelling.

Workers and slaves were employed by the Master of the House.

"Peace to this house and all who dwell in it."

This was he blessing of Jesus' disciples.

When the master or mistress of the household was baptized as Christian their whole household was baptized with them.

It would seem that the Blessing of God was not just individual but extended to the whole family and even to servants and slaves.

So.....

"Peace to this house and all who dwell in it."

Spiritual Principles.

In order to progress on our path to God we must practise spiritual principles.

These spiritual principles include: mercy, forgiveness, compassion, charity, non-attachment, non-violence, and devotion.

There can be no progress without them.

For example there can be no progress without forgiveness because we all make mistakes and if there is no forgiveness we cannot continue to progress.

So forgiveness is essential.

Many of these spiritual principles develop from the virtue of non-violence.

So God must be non-violent.

There is no judgement or vengeance in God.

These are primitive conceptions of God based on fear.

But there is no fear in God.

And no violence.

So we need not fear punishment.

There can be no hell.

The inmost nature of God is Love.

And it is Love that we can expect.

Forgiveness.

Eastern Religion and Yoga teach that we tread a razor-edged path.

We can easily fall by the wayside.

But they have forgotten God's mercy and forgiveness.

Forgiveness is an essential ingredient.

Because it is inevitable that we will make mistakes.

But God will forgive us.

His mercy is sure.

And we may just learn something.

Jesus.

The way of the world is to battle for supremacy.

To battle against rivals,

To battle against evil.

But this gets us nowhere.

It merely embroils us in endless conflict.

A cycle of violence and revenge.

But Jesus shows us the way.

He says not to battle against evil but to turn the other cheek and return love for hatred.

This breaks the cycle of violence and revenge and addresses the fear on which violence is based.

This is why Jesus is called the Messiah because it is his teachings that will save the world.

Do You Know?

I wonder if all those youths with their caps on backwards and tattoos of skulls and snakes realize what they represent.

They are symbols of Satanism.

Satanism is backwards and upside-down, and skulls represent death.  Snakes are obvious symbols of the devil. 

Do you realize that the purpose of Satanism is to get your soul into hell?

Hence all the fire.

And if you do realize then how come no one believes me when I tell them that Satanism is rife in our popular culture?

Wake up!

We are being deceived.

Hate as a Political Weapon.

Since 1984 we have seen a continuous hate campaign against the Left.

Ronald Reagan's hatred of the left-leaning Hippies combined with Generation X's hatred of their predecessors to destroy the Left.

And labeling left-wing policies as the devil justified the Religious Right's hate.

They called Obama the Anti-Christ because he dared to propose health care.

They claim that hate is a Biblical imperative.

Citing Old Testament texts which claim that God hates evil and sin.

But they ignore the words of Jesus: "'You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."  But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'"  Matthew 5:43,44 (NRSV)  

Hate is not Christian.

Hate is the domain of the devil.

If there was one.

So they are not Christian because they ignore the words of Jesus himself.

And they have sold their souls for political power and privilege.

Life-Wish!

I have a Life-Wish!

A wish to be united with God:

The author of Life!

The source of Light!

And the origin of Love!

Evil.

The problems we are facing in our world now are basically the symptoms of a spiritual malaise.

Quite apart from the fact that rock music, entertainment, and sports contain covert Satanism the practices of our corporate masters and their political allies are evil.

Deliberate deception, smear campaigns, profiteering, lack of accountability, exploitation, lies, scapegoating, and hate are all symptoms of evil.

And it is covered in darkness.

But a light is coming into the world.

So we must follow the light and aspire to do good.

Honesty, integrity, idealism, truthfulness, courage, altruism, humanitarianism, charity, faith, and love are remedies for our current dilemma.

Worship and prayer will support our efforts.

So look to positive spiritual practices to correct what has been spoiled.

And ask God to help us.

Sexuality.

I may be older but I am young enough to remember what it was like to be young and virile and looking for love.

Sex was an urgent need.

And this is how it is meant to be.

The rules of religion are made by old men who no longer need to express their sexuality.

But this was never what God intended.

Sex does not banish spirituality.

It is possible to be sexually active and spiritually devoted as well.

The sex act does not cancel our relationship with God. 

The idea that sexual orgasm leads to death is propaganda put out by Satanists with a vested interest in spiritual death.

These are lies circulated to deceive us.

God's attitude to sex is matter of fact.

He does not entertain the phobias and aversions that his priests and ministers suffer from.

Sexuality, including homosexuality, is a normal part of life.

And we should teach our children that.

Satanism.

There has always been an element in our world who will embrace evil and worship Satan.

But, far from being a fringe minority, this phenomenon saturates our popular culture.

Since the 1960s rock bands and superstars have been selling their souls and filling their music with Satanic suggestion.

This is subtle and sinister.

   

And it is hidden behind a mask.

But sex and drugs and rock and roll has ruined whole generations of youth.

And their malevolent music is still popular today.

Darkness, death, depression, suicide.....

Rock music is Satanic.

We can do without it.

Heaven.

Gay men go to Heaven.

And the gay men who died of AIDS are in Heaven.

How do I know this?

Because God has promised me.

And I have seen them.

Clothed in white and sitting by the river, safe, and happy in the Love of God.

Do not listen to those who tell you that gay men are damned to hell.

They are basing their views on outdated texts in the Bible.

Texts which have been challenged and discredited.

The gay men who died of AIDS are in Heaven.

And gay men will go to Heaven when they die.

Lot.

The Koran talks repeatedly about the sin of Lot.

This is assumed to be homosexuality because Lot lived in Sodom.

But the Bible tells us that the sin of Sodom was that she had: "pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy."  Ezekiel 16:49 (NRSV)

And many modern scholars claim that Sodom's sin was a breach of Middle Eastern hospitality customs.

It is interesting to note that the only time Jesus mentioned Sodom was in the context of hospitality.  (Luke 10:12)

So it is not at all certain that Lot sinned at all.

But the terror of punishment which is contained in the Koran prevails.

And homosexuality is condemned.

But God does not condemn homosexuality.

His Love does not discriminate.

He loves us like His gay sons and daughters.

And a good father will not condemn his gay children.

So we need to reinterpret the Koran in the light of modern scholarship.

And banish the fear of homosexuality for good!

The Cure.

The justification for religious condemnation of homosexuality is that AIDS is a punishment from God for their sin.

So now that AIDS is virtually cured how can they continue to justify persecuting gays and lesbians?

Doctors can now stop HIV from developing into AIDS.  So no one dies of AIDS anymore.

And when treated HIV is now undetectable which means that you cannot pass it on to your partner.

And there is a pill called PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which can stop you getting HIV.

So AIDS is virtually cured.

This leaves the flimsy evidence of contested passages of scripture.

But now that AIDS is no longer a death sentence the fear that drives homophobia is gone.

And soon the condemnation will be gone also.
