Homosexuality.

Homosexuality is not a demon.

Homosexuality is love.

And love is the inmost nature of God.

God is Love.

It is hate that is the "demon".

Temptation.

The unholy alliance between right-wing corporations and Generation X has resulted in corruption and evil.

Satanic influences have tempted those in powerful positions to exploit, subjugate, and brainwash the masses.

They use their media outlets and the Internet to spread their propaganda and conduct vicious hate campaigns.

This has resulted in the largest disparity between rich and poor in history.

And right-wing Fundamentalist Christians have been tempted to use their religion for political gain.

Demonization, damnation, shaming, and shunning of political enemies is common.

It is evil.

And it is conducted in the dark.

But the fact remains - they have succumbed to temptation.

13.

Claims that the number 13 represents the Christ Principle because there are 12 disciples are incorrect.

 

Christ is number 1 the number 13 relates to Judas.

13 is the devils number and it always has been.

Good People.

There are many good people in the world.

More good people than evil people.

But evil people are in control.

They dominate the workplace.

And they control us through music, sports, and entertainment.

They poison our minds through backtracking and subliminal messages.

And they sabotage our spiritual quest.

They curse us with the power of death.

Death to God.

And they consign us to the darkness.

And the devil is the Prince of Darkness.

But there is a higher power. 

God can overcome their evil.

Light, Life, and Love.

The Light will lead us to the truth.

And our love will leads us into Life.

Even to Eternal Life!

The Kingdom.

"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force."  Matthew 11:12 (NRSV)

"The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force.  But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter of the law to be dropped."  Luke 16:16 (NRSV)

By this Jesus means that you cannot just take the Kingdom of Heaven you must observe the commandments of the law - and the first commandments of the law are to love God and to love your neighbor.

John the Baptist preached honesty and charity - this was preparation for the full revelation of Jesus that is love.

This is why the practise of Yoga requires restraints and observances (Yamas and Niyamas) - these are  preparation for union* with God.

But we are not to apply these principles fanatically.

The Middle Path of Moderation recommended by the Buddha allows for concessions according to understanding.  This is the prerogative of love.

(*Yoga means union.)

Guilt Complex.

The Hippies have a guilt complex.

Because they took drugs in their youth they unconsciously blame themselves for all their problems.

But we were set up from the beginning.

The drug culture which dogged the Hippie Generation was deliberately created by rock musicians who followed the dark teachings of Aleister Crowley.

Aleister Crowley advocated the use of drugs in conjunction with Yoga in order to develop special powers.

And his apprentices - the rock stars - pushed drugs onto their unwitting fans.

So we should not blame ourselves but the rock stars who sold their souls* for fame and fortune.

Their evil influence is to blame not us.

So you can clear your conscience, forgive yourself, and pray for healing and Salvation.

(Aleister Crowley's writings include instructions for making deals with the devil.)

Open Your Heart.

I pray for employers to open their hearts to their workers.

I pray for Fundamentalists to open their hearts to gays and lesbians.

I pray for nationalists to open their hearts to immigrants.

But what is it that stops us opening our hearts to others?

Fear.

Only fear.

Peace.

We pray for Peace.

We pray for Tolerance.

East and West.

The God of Yoga and Eastern religion is the same God as the God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

If we surrender our claims to exclusivity we will go a long way to eliminating religious conflicts in our world.

And a closer investigation will reveal that at the heart of each religion is the same reality - the Love of God.

And the errors of each religion resemble each other:

Legalism, Asceticism, Rigidity, Retribution.....

Provisional theories based on fear and Dualism are all superseded by the Love.

So the whole world is in the hands of a Loving God.

And it is God's business to transcend our differences and establish His Loving Reign over all the Earth.

Pseudo-Religious.

Rock bands who are pseudo-religious are likely to be secretly Satanic.

Rock stars and celebrities who present themselves as religious but create contradictory material are not the real thing.

Satanism in rock music and entertainment has been common since the 1960s.

They present themselves as saviors and messiahs but they are false prophets and magicians in the ilk of Simon Magus.

So don't be fooled by a pseudo-religious facade.

Rock music is Satanic.

The Hill of the Lord.

"Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,

who do not lift up their souls to what is false,

and do not swear deceitfully."

Psalm 24:3,4 (NRSV)

Demonization.

Why do Evangelicals in America call Barack Obama the Anti-Christ?

The answer is simple: political demonization.

Demonizing your political opponent was introduced by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s when he called the Soviet Union "The Evil Empire."

Reagan also demonized the Hippie Generation by calling them "unconscious agents of the devil."

This was because their rock stars practised covert black magic and Satanism.

But it was not the Hippies themselves nor was it left-wing politicians who worshipped the devil but their rock stars.

They were merely scapegoats.

Blaming the Hippies is blaming the victims of Satanism not the perpetraters.

And Satanism in rock music continues to this day.

So whenever you hear Evangelicals blaming the left for Satanism know that it is false.

And know that it is an example of blatant political demonization.

Satanism.

Rock music, sports, and entertainment are infested with hidden Satanism.

Rock stars, sporting heroes, and celebrities sell their souls for fame and fortune and subvert our spirituality.

Their influence sabotages our spiritual quest, tempts us, leads us astray, and curses us.

Their purpose is to get our souls into hell.

But there is no devil in reality.

There is no hell to go to.

The damage done, however, remains.

Negative suggestion, dark fantasies, fascination with evil, obsession with sex.....

All these things emanate from Satanism in our popular culture.

Bad, despicable, filthy, wicked.....

Buzz-words propagated by Satanists.

Darkness, night, shadows, death, graves, skulls, the beast, snakes, spiders, rats, pigs.....

Images that poison our minds. 

And make no mistake this leads to suffering.

Drugs and divorce derive from its influence.

They alone count for untold suffering.

So do not take everything at face value.

Look beneath the surface, behind the mask, under the headlines.....

You will find evil there.

A Good Heart.

Rather than aspiring to spiritual principles or striving to attain esoteric knowledge we should be aiming for a good heart.

The love and understanding of the heart will guide us through the perilous waters of principle with common sense.

Where there is conflict we should ask: "What does my heart say?"

Often this will mean putting aside some rigid principle for the sake of love.

We should always put the person before the principle.

Then we will not condemn people out of fear.

Each person has their own story.

And it is not for us to judge.

So have a good heart.

And cultivate understanding.

Fierce Creatures.

So what becomes of all the fierce creatures in the next world?

What becomes of lions and tigers, wolves and jackals?

And what becomes of spiders and snakes?

My thesis is that these creatures are manifestations of fear.

They say: "Be scared of me."

"I am ferocious." or "I am sinister."

And people who wear t-shirts with pictures of these creatures or have tattoos of them are saying the same thing.

So, if God does not destroy anything, what happens to them when they die?

I believe that they are transformed as the ugly grub is transformed into a beautiful butterfly.

There is no fear in Heaven.

And when the fear is gone so will all the ugly and threatening things which we see in our world.

This is why Heaven is different from Earth.

There is no more fear.

So you have nothing to fear from God.

God loves you.

And all will be well in Heaven.

Satanic Rock Music.

The reason that Fundamentalist Christians know about Satanism in rock music and entertainment but nothing ever seems to happen is because they blame the wrong people.

They blame the scapegoats - homosexuals and the political left.

Meanwhile the real culprits - rock stars and sportsmen - get off scot free.

Prayer.

May the Lord protect you from Satanism in rock music, sports, and entertainment.

And may those who have turned to the devil denounce Satan and all his works.

And may you turn to God through love the unseen hook.

Amen.

Paradise.

Paradise is not just some boon we can get for ourselves.

Paradise is the domain of God.

And as such it is tied to the process of Salvation.

Salvation is the gradual cleansing of the persona through faith and prayer.

Once we have established contact with God the negative aspects of our personality just fall away.

This is because these negative traits are rooted in fear.

And God's steadfast Love casts out fear.

And because God is wholly good we become good people.

We no longer feel the need to attack others to defend ourselves.

We no longer need to control people.

We no longer need to dominate.

These things are caused by deep-seated fears.

And we no longer need to accumulate money and possessions.

Because with God there is always enough.

And so as we draw closer to God we become better people.

There is no fear in God.

And God looks upon the heart.

There are only two things in the world:

Fear and Love.

And when the fear is gone there is only Love.

God's Will.

It is God's Will that we love one another.

For where there is love all things fall into place:

Finances, employment, accommodation, companionship, understanding, mercy, forgiveness, charity, loyalty, justice, support.....

All these things flow from love.

Love will never let you down.

And love will not forget you.

So open your heart.

And give love to everyone.

Then you will be doing God's Will.

Disgrace!

Right-wing political forces took advantage of the AIDS crisis to make a scapegoat of gay and lesbian people.

The scapegoat creates political power by ascribing all evil to a vulnerable minority group.

Hitler called it Moral Ease.

It is straight out of the Nazi rulebook.

And it is a disgrace!

The Possessed Boy.

The Lady Aoi was the principle wife of Prince Genji.

She developed a mysterious illness and was confined to bed.

Eventually the demon revealed itself as the jealousy of the Lady Rokujo.

This is a classic story of how our thoughts can affect others.

The Dream.

When we are young we have a dream of a better world.

But unseen forces work against us and the dream is compromised.

Satanism hidden in our popular culture sets out to wreck our dreams.

And impose a living death that imprisons everyone.

For God shares our dream.

But God will not use force or coersion.

So we must persevere and reconstruct our dream.

And overcome those who would destroy it.

But we must use non-violent methods.

And rely on faith, hope, and love.

The Light.

At the center of each galaxy is Light.

And the stars and planets revolve around this Light.

Everything* is drawn by and revolves around the Light.

And that Light is Love!
