Heaven.

Contrary to the view of vocal conservatives gay people are not destined for hell.

God loves His gay children as He loves all His children.

We are not condemned.

Nor are we evil.

Gay people are as human as others.

We live and love as others do.

And we have hopes and dreams like you.

But one thing remains to be said:

"Gay people go to Heaven."

The Difference.

The difference between the Baby-Boomers and Generation X is that while both hated their parents and blamed them for all the ills of the world the Baby-Boomers rejected the Orthodox theology of the Church but sought to find God in Eastern religions whereas Generation X blamed God for their suffering and blasphemed His name, many turning to the devil as an alternative.

Both, however, were corrupted by Satanists in the rock music and entertainment industries through subversive messages hidden in their products.

Interconnectedness.

The collective unconscious is the network by which we are connected to all other humans.

It is the agent of our interconnectedness.

All things are interconnected.

And all things are connected with God.

God is at the center of all interconnectedness.

Unfortunately some influences in the collective unconscious spread violence, hatred, and evil.

These influences try to control us.

They tempt us.

And they corrupt us.

Viceland is just one example of this.

Rock music, movies, T.V., literature, and sports can infect us with these influences.

So it is up to us to meditate on non-violence, goodness, and love in order to neutralize these influences.

And pray to God to protect us.

God is One.

"Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One."

This statement from Deuteronomy 6 contradicts all notions of Dualism.

Dualism developed in ancient Persia and influenced Judaism during the Persian Empire.

It states that God and the devil are equal co-creators of reality.

 

This was a primitive theory developed to explain our experience in the world.

But there are other explanations.

For example evil in our world can be attributed to the ignorance and fear of human beings with free will.

There is no need for a supernatural explanation of evil.

This means that there is only one supernatural force - God.

And God is good.

So we are not surrounded by shadows and evil.

We are surrounded by God's Love.

It is evident in creation.

And it is evident is the Life that is all around us.

But that is not to say that there is no evil in the world.

Evil exists in the form of people who have rejected God and turned to the devil as a preferred alternative.

Or so they believe.

Rock stars, entertainers, and sporting heroes have sold their souls for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

And they do evil in our world.

But the image of God which they have rejected is not the true image of God.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

By this he meant that the standard image of God as a harsh punisher and judge of humans was not what God was like at all.

God does not punish us.

God does not judge us.

God is our loving Father.

And He loves all His children.

"even the darkness is not dark to you.

the night is as bright as the day,

for darkness is as light to you."

Psalm 139:12 (NRSV)

"God is light and in him there is no darkness."  1 John 1:5 (NRSV)

"Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One."

Deliver Us From Evil.

Generation X turned to Satan,

And when Ronald Reagan realized that the power of Generation X came from Satan he said: "Use Satan to win". 

So Ronald Reagan's campaign against the political left turned to Satan to win.

And the Religious Right and the Republican Party are still there today!

They rely on the violence and hate of Generation X win.

And they are in league with Satanists in our entertainment and sports.

Satanism is lies.

Joseph Goebbels said: "If you tell a big enough lie and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it."

And this is what Fox News does.

It feeds the irrational mentality of the Religious Right by repeating lies.

But the truth will out!

Lay down the sword and cry out to God!

He will hear.

And deliver us from evil.

Ahimsa.

Ahimsa is the Eastern Principle of non-violence.

God would not tell us to be non-violent if He was violent Himself.

Therefore God must be non-violent.

And all the passages in the scriptures which justify violence in the name of God are in error.

God is non-violent.

And He expects us to be non-violent also.

God's House.

"'In my Father's house there are many dwelling-places.'"  John 14:2 (NRSV)

Heaven, Paradise, The Pure Land, Olympus, Valhalla, Asgard, The Elysian Fields, The Abode of the Blessed, The Abode of the Ancestors, The Happy Hunting Ground.....

All these concepts refer to the place where God lives.

And all the world's religions ascribe to it peace, light, beauty, tranquility, and happiness.

Buddhists experience glimpses of it in meditation, as do yogis, mystics, prophets, and poets.....

It is all one place.

The abode of the One Living God.

"'In my Father's house there are many dwelling-places.'"  John 14:2 (NRSV)

One.

There is only one supernatural power.

That is God.

And God is good.

There is no devil, no dark powers.

These notions derive from an assumption of Dualism.

That is that everything has a balancing opposite.

But Dualism is a false conception.

Not all things in the universe come in pairs.

There are unities, trinities, decimals, duodecimals.....

The number is infinite.

So why should the Cosmos be dual?

God is Panentheistic.

That is God is everything and more.

All is interconnected.

And all is connected to God.

If you turn on the lights the darkness disappears like a dream.

Darkness has no power over light.

It merely contains radiation which is outside the range of our human sensors - our eyes.

It has no substance in reality.

So Dualism is bankrupt.

God is One.

Gay Spirituality.

Gay men spend their lives searching for Him.

He is the great dark man of Quentin Crisp and the all-American boy of Christopher Isherwood. 

He is the beautiful musclemen of Michelangelo.

And He is the men of the Internet Muscle Worship sites.

The love that we have for Him is often rejected.

It is the ideal - the impossible dream.

But our love is requited by God.

And we discover that God is Him.

The Beloved - the object of our hearts desire.

God returns our love.

He guides and enlightens us.

He answers our prayers.

And we are Home.

The Beginning of the End.

Once we realize that we can rely on God's Love we can let go of fear and open our hearts.

All the violence and evil in our world is based on fear.

Fear of poverty, fear of suffering, fear of violence, fear of ridicule, fear of losing, fear of being wrong, fear of hell, fear of God.....

But there is no fear in God.

God is Love.

And God's Love is real.

So we can let go of our fear.

And trust in God.

Then it will be the beginning of the end.....

1984.

We are in the grip of an evil conspiracy.

Since 1984 (the year that Pluto entered Scorpio) we have been brainwashed and intimidated by right-wing plutocrats and politicians and their allies in rock music, sports, and entertainment.

Power-mad corporate bosses have enlisted the support of Satanists in the music and entertainment industries in order to subjugate humanity to their will.

They use black magic, hate, and evil to win.

And they use methods from George Orwell's 1984.

Violence - verbal, emotional, psychic, spiritual, and physical - is used to intimidate and oppress us nntil we give in and accept their reconstruction.

And they have the support of right-wing Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians who whitewash their crimes.

But the darkness hides them.

Turn to the Light.

Pray to God.

He will hear.

And He will deliver you.

Moderation.

The key to sexuality is moderation.

Now that AIDS is virtually cured we cannot afford to return to the excesses of the past.

The extremes whipped up by rock stars and celebrities cannot be supported in the future.

The threat of disease is too great.

We should have learned that lesson by now.

So moderation is recommended.

And a positive expression of sexuality as love.

Sexuality in the Age of Aquarius.

The attitude of Aquarius to sexuality is matter-of-fact.

Aquarius does not repress expressions of sexuality.

It accepts them as a natural part of life.

And this applies to homosexuality as well.

Aquarius is not prudish or negative about sex.

Some even say it is sacred.

Aquarius is broadminded and tolerant.

So we can look forward to a more positive view of sexuality in the coming age.

Retired.

The Baby-Boomer Generation is now retired.

At the moment this means expensive holidays, dividends, and looking after grand children.

But retirement also means that we are free of the intimidation of our corporate masters.

Because we are no longer employed we don't have to kowtow to the plutocrats any longer.

We are free to get involved in activism and protest.

We are free to return to the idealism of our youth.

So don't just support economically productive activities.

Get involved in politics.

Support charities and causes.

Volunteer.

You are now free to do so.

Drugs.

During the 1960s and 1970s the Baby-Boomers took drugs in an attempt to make contact with God.

They were encouraged to do this by their rock stars.

This caused untold problems later on.

Guilt, shame, and mental illness; criminality and degradation were the results.

And this was compounded by the conservative backlash of the 1980s.

Blame, disgrace, and damnation awaited us.

Little did we know that the rock stars who inspired this drug taking were secretly Satanic and following the teachings of Aleister Crowley - an early 20th Century Satanists and black magician.

He recommended taking drugs in conjunction with practising Yoga in order to create mind powers.

But the legends of India tell us that Soma (drugs) was on the side of the demons in their battle with the gods.

And his place was taken by Brihaspati (devotion).

So we were deceived from the beginning and set up to fail.

But the fact remains that the Hippies' motivation was to make contact with God.

And so their actions were justifiable.

God will forgive.

If we will pray.

And practise devotion.

The Occult.

Many people who study the Occult experience spiritual problems.

This is because the Occult is too near to the black magic and Satanism practised by the rock stars that they listen to.

This evil influence tries to take over anyone studying the Occult and turn them to evil.

Their malevolence may cause spiritual accident or even damnation.

But God is good.

He will forgive.

And He will raise you up.

His mercy is sure.

And His Salvation is forever.

Darkness.

Imagine being in the grip of something so unspeakably evil that you cannot even see it.

This is what has happened in our world.

Satanism in rock music and sports, in movies and T.V. has spread to such an extent that we think it is normal.

But it is not normal.

It is disguised as glamour and fame, celebrity and status.

And darkness hides it.

But beneath the surface is evil and malice.

Stars and sports heroes have sold their souls for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

And they do the devil's work in the world.

Or so they think.

So don't just take everything at face value.

Even if it seems normal we should be suspicious of any suggestion of evil or darkness.

The chances are that it is evil indeed.

Jerusalem.

Perhaps the most telling passage in the Bible is this:

"'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!  How often have I desired to to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!'"  Luke 13:34 (NRSV)

The Powers.

What we have to realize is that the powers and authorities of this world are not manifestations of the Will of God.

Our corporate masters do not reflect the nature of God at all.

Walter Wink called them fallen.

By which he meant that they are evil.

Jesus testified that the works of the world are evil. (John 7:7)

And that the world does not know God. (John 17;25)

When we realize that God is good, that God does not use violence or force, that God does not punish us or judge us, but that God loves us like a Father; then we understand the Beatitudes, not as what we experience in the world, but as God's Will for the world and for us all.

God is reliable.

God is trustworthy and true.

And God's Love is unconditional.

God.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

By this he meant that the traditional image of God as a harsh judge and punisher of humankind was false.

He told us that God is our Father.

He said that God judges no one.

He said that God is merciful and forgiving.

He said that God is Love.

For that he was crucified.

The custodians of the traditional image of God felt threatened by him.

They stood to lose their hold on the people.

So they conspired with the secular power - the Romans - to kill him.

The Romans for their part made an example of him - crucifying the King of the Jews.

And later Christian authorities reinstated the harsh image of God which had sustained the Pharisees before them.

Jesus.

Gay Love.

Because you call us homosexuals does not mean that our same-sex attractions are purely sexual.

Our attraction is also love.

It resembles the great love of David and Jonathan in the Bible.

And it emulates the great Greek lovers of antiquity: Achilles and Patroclus, Hercules and Iolaus, Theseus and Peirithous, Orestes and Pylades.....

Even the Greek gods had male lovers: Zeus and Ganymede, Apollo and Hyacinthus and Cyparissus, Hermes and Crocus and Perseus.....

So the idea that homosexuals are somehow more sexual than heterosexuals is a myth.

Homosexuality is love.

And as such it is acceptable to God.

Love is Life!

When love is absent from our lives we feel empty, we feel desolate, we feel lonely, we feel hopeless, we feel helpless, and we cannot cope.

This is death-like.

But when there is love in our lives we feel happy, we feel fulfilled, we feel generous, we feel strong, we feel optimistic, and we can cope.

This is Life.

And when we love we are in God and God is in us.

Love God and love your neighbor.

And Live!

Love.

"Love is the fulfillment of the law."  Romans 13:10 (NRSV)

Rather than adhering more and more rigidly to moral principles we should consider practising love as the fulfillment of the law.

Moses gave humanity guidelines for living.

But Jesus' commandment was to love.

Many religious people practise righteousness as a pathway to Heaven.

But the deeper understanding is centered in the heart.

A tender, compassionate, loving heart is the basis of a closer relationship with God.

So do not get hung up on moral principles.

Confront your fears.

And open your heart.

Hat Boxes.

Earning Heaven (and avoiding hell) through Good Works.

Spiritual Evolution from animals to humans to angels.

Mortification of the Body - abstaining from earthly pleasures in order to win Heaven (and avoid hell).

The Path of Knowledge - gaining esoteric knowledge as a path to Enlightenment.

Righteousness - the practise of moral principles to earn God's favor.

All these approaches are centered in the mind.

But the ultimate approach is centered in the heart.

It teaches us to love.

To love God and to love everyone.

For everyone is a Child of God.

Perspective.

The inmost nature of God is Love.

God does not punish us.

God does not judge us.

God loves us like a Father.

And we are to love Him and all His children.

But this will be challenged.

It will be challenged by Satanists whose perspective is evil.

They will try to turn you to the dark side.

And it will be challenged by religious authorities who will try to impose their personal theology on you.

But God is faithful.

He will help you.

He will rescue you and honor you.

And He will show you His Salvation.
