Enemies to Friends.

"'first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.'"  Matthew 5:24 (NRSV)

Easier said than done.

But God has ways of turning enemies into friends.

And this is by addressing the fears which underlie the animosity between people. 

So, rather than seeking justice or revenge, we should pray for our enemies to overcome their fears.

Then our enemies will become our friends.

Peace and Love.

The Hippies preached Peace and Love.

Our rock stars preached sex and drugs.

The Older Generation and Generation X retaliated with violence and hate.

They made money god.

But money is not the answer to life's problems.

Love is the answer to life's problems.

And peace is what everyone seeks.

So my advice is to return to the philosophy of peace and love.

For God is Love.

And His Peace is everlasting.

AFL 2.

There is Satanism in the AFL*.

Players from every club have sold their souls for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

Your favorite player may well be a devil-worshipper.

So beware of evil in sports.

It's a billion dollar business.

They crave money and adulation.

They call themselves elite.

They win at all costs.

Their philosophy is brutal.

They will try to addict you.

And they hide in the darkness.

They have turned to the dark side.

To Satan and evil.

Beware!

AFL.

There is homophobia in the AFL*.

Players and officials from every club attack gay men and threaten them.

They blame and shame us and they send us to hell.

Homophobic taunts are common.

And hostility towards anyone suspected of being gay is rife.

Sports are among the last bastions of homophobia.

And repressed homosexuality can do no good.

The players are afraid.

Afraid of their teammates' reactions.

Afraid of the coach and administration.

But no good comes from hiding your true self.

Many who have come out have been surprised by the support and love shown to them by those they feared would reject them.

So I would encourage you to come out.

You might be surprised.

Revival.

The Hippie Generation was blamed and shamed by Generation X and their Conservative allies.

We were bashed into submission and reconstructed.

Now we shut up and consume.

But the power of the Plutocrats is waning.

People are sick of their market values and their lies.

We have been reduced to units of productivity.

And we have had no political power.

But nothing is more permanent than change.

The wheels are beginning to turn.

And it's time to revive our generations ideals.

Peace and Love and the redistribution of wealth are needed more than ever in our world.

It is up to us to revive these ideals.

To do this we must cure ourselves of the addiction to pleasure which evil forces in our culture have created.

Addictions generate money.

So the Plutocrats support those who would addict us.

Sex and drugs and rock an roll derives from Satanism in rock music.

And make no mistake it is still going on today.

Rock music corrupts and addicts us.

We are the innocent victims of evil.

We must shrug off this burden of evil and revive the peace and love of our youth without the parasites of rock music.

There is no other way.

Thunderclap.

Friends pf the Earth were using the term Thunderclap to refer to political action.

This term infers Divine violence and is no better than the Religious Rights use of Judgement in political campaigns.

The implication of God's violent condemnation is inappropriate in human disputes.

It is resorting to fear.

And fear is no motivation.

So I would prefer if they did not use the term Thunderclap because it has negative religious connotations.

Whitewash.

The unholy alliance between Multi-National Corporations and Fundamentalist Churches has seen the corporations appropriate terminology and methods from religion.

Mission Statements, visioning, forgiving debt, even selfless acts derive from the Christian Churches.

This is the corporations playing God.

They use the nomenclature of Christianity to whitewash their crimes.

And the backlash corrupts the Churches.

So this collusion works both ways.

It corrupts both the corporations and the Churches.

One Last Thing.

The Capitalist plotters have allied themselves with Satanists in the popular culture.

The Hitler worshipping devil worshippers in rock music and entertainment who intensified the judgement and torture with which Generation X attacked the Baby-Boomers have lent their black magic practices to the corporate plutocrats and media-moguls. 

This was symbolized by the now defunct marriage between Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall.

And so the Black Beast had magic powers,

It speaks "like a dragon."  Revelation 13:11 (NRSV)

It twists words and abuses language.

"It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God."  Revelation 13:6 (NRSV)

As Generation X have.

So the picture is complete.

But its time is up.

The Truth will out.

God will answer our prayers.

But there will be no white rider.

No Armageddon.

No Wrath.

God is non-violent.

His inmost nature is Love.

And He judges no one.

As Jesus said. (John 5:22, 8:15)

We will be free.

Judgement.

Judgement as a political weapon.

Since Ronald Reagan re-introduced religion into the political debate we have seen judgement used as a political weapon.

The older generation had their revenge on the Baby-Boomers and condemned them, ostensibly for sexual transgressions, but in reality for left-wing/Socialist political views.

And Generation X grabbed their chance to damn their hated enemies.

Reagan called us "agents of the devil" and Generation X labelled us "loose".

You hypocrites!

Jesus said: "'Do not judge, so that you may not be judged."  Matthew 7:1 (NRSV)

And "loose" from the generation that popularized male strippers and toy boys.

You hypocrites!

But the fact remains that judgement should not be used as a political weapon.

The Religious Right gave in to the temptation to judge their enemies.     

It gave them power and privilege.

They were prepared to corrupt themselves absolutely for the sake of political power.

Schizophrenia.

I believe that schizophrenia is caused by evil.

Therefore the remedy for schizophrenia is good.

And all good comes from God.

There are records of Jesus healing schizophrenics in the New Testament, notably Legion - "for we are many."

But schizophrenia is not demonic possession. 

There are no supernatural demons or spirits.

Schizophrenia rather is to do with the collective unconscious.

This is why they hear other people's voices.

And the troublesome voices come from evil in the environment working through the collective unconscious.

I believe that covert Satanism in rock music,entertainment, and sports works through the unconscious.

Practices like subliminal suggestion and backtracking in rock music affects us directly.

But listening to their music and watching their videos, movies, and T.V, shows puts us in contact with them and this is where the voices that schizophrenics hear come from.

That being said untreated schizophrenics can also suffer from paranoid hallucinations and delusions.

So it is necessary to treat schizophrenia with anti-psychotic medication.

But medication alone will not solve the problem.

We must recognize the evil in our environment and adjust our behavior accordingly.

Leniency.

Contrary to popular opinion leniency is not weakness but strength.

The I-Ching says that inferior men rule through harsh penalties and violence but the superior man is lenient and in harmony with the other stations of society and this reflects the benevolent Will of Heaven.

So don't respond when the media calls for harsher penalties.

Pope Francis says that the name of God is Mercy.

We should look to rehabilitation and re-education as solutions to our problems.

Then we will be in harmony with God.

What Can We Do?

11% of the world's population go hungry every day.

1% of the world's population own half the world's wealth.

Rich corporations control the flow of money.

They pass off their greed as serving their shareholders.

It may be possible to get an item on the AGM Agenda but if the shareholders vote it down what can we do?

Land grabs, slave labor, sweat shops, exploitation, intimidation, and corruption are common practices among the corporations.

But even if these practices are exposed no one ever seems to take responsibility for them.

They are denied, blamed on subsidiaries, justified, hidden, or ignored.

What can we do?
