Economics.
During the 1990s it was thought that free-market economics was the answer to all human problems.
It was thought that by giving the market free reign it would create jobs and when people had more money they would be happy.
They didn't say what would happen to people who lost their jobs in downsizing.
It was just assumed that they would get another job from the pool of new jobs created.
This did happen to some extent.
But there was a price to pay.
Everyone had to work harder, faster, and longer.
This left people with no time for their families and left tiny children in child care.
As the drive for more and more profit went on the human cost became greater and greater.
Until it was too much to bear.
During this period the crime rate escalated.
The more unjust a society is the worse the crime rate.
Property prices soared.
But who wants to pay $1 million for a modest house?
This is the whip:
Work harder!
Or lose your job.
The unemployed were punished with work for the dole and other blame schemes.
Fear increased.
Fear will drive them to work harder.
If they work harder we will make more profit.
C.E.O.s were offered million dollar salaries plus bonuses to betray their fellow workers.
Unions were demonized.
Collective bargaining was sabotaged.
Work became contracted and casual.
Wages were forced down.
So the result was not what was promised.
Corporations made huge profits.
Workers paid the price - wages and conditions were lost.
The gap between rich and poor increased dramatically.
News media became propaganda.
And trust was lost.
Jesus said, "'No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.'" Matthew 6:24 (NRSV)
So in the end we have been deceived.
Economics is not the answer to human problems.
It serves wealth not God.
It does not serve human needs.
Only greed, which is fear.
Business as usual.
Heartless and cruel.
Until we find Love.

Fears.
Pray for us to overcome our fears.
Try not to provoke the powers.
If you trigger one of their fears you run the risk of being fired, tortured, or killed.
There must be a way to adhere to the truth and allay the fears of the powers.
If God is our Father then everyone is my brother or sister.
It is better not to be adversarial.
But to have compassion for the powerful, pity for their violence, sorrow for their corruption.
For it is fear that drives them.
Fear of poverty. Fear of need. Fear of loss.
But less is more.
You may be happier with less.
Less possessions. Less work.
More Love.
Love can be manifest at work.
Through consideration, relaxation, and appreciation.
"Work harder" is not the answer.
It may bring more profit.
But what profits a man if he loses his own soul.
Money is not the answer to human suffering.
Only Love.

The Prophet.
When the prophet is dead we are left in darkness.
When the darkness spreads over all the earth we suffer.
Cry out to God!
How long!
When the prophet comes
Will we reject him?
Will we crucify him?
Will he be shot?
Will he be assassinated?
Economic rationalism and free market economics at work and Satanism in our entertainment are the darkness which covers us.
It is riddled with greed, corruption, and brutality.
We cry out for the light.
The light is Love.
Will we accept it?
Will they allow it?
Or is it too much of a threat to their supremacy?
To suggest that they should provide like a father out of love?
It is their fears that drive them.
Pray for them to overcome their fears.

Laws and Principles.
People try to find out the laws and principles of life in order to manipulate them to their own advantage, i.e. so that the good stuff happens to them and not the bad stuff.
This is merely selfishness.
It is not spirituality at all.
We think that if we do the right thing we will be rewarded.
To do the right thing regardless of the consequences is closer to the truth.
Jesus was crucified for testifying to the truth.
The prophets were killed and persecuted.
J.F.K. was shot for trying to implement idealism.
Martin Luther King Jnr. was shot for daring to demand civil rights for black people.
Robert Kennedy was shot for his idealism and vision.
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated for freeing India.
Anwar Sadat was assassinated for daring to bring peace with Israel.
These are the things which can happen if you challenge the powers of the world.
It is not rewards for good deeds and punishment for bad deeds.
People act out of their own free will.
There are no laws and principles to manipulate.
Only the presence and absence of Love.

Post Modernism.
Post modern people don't come to church because they don't want to be indoctrinated with negative ideation, especially about sex.
They are beyond being told what to think about God.
They want to get rid of the middle man and experience the divine for themselves.
This is what was so attractive about yoga.
It offered a way of experiencing the divine directly.
Unfortunately this individual path was sabotaged by Satanists in the rock music industry and as a result each individual was picked off and nothing seemed to work.
This is why being part of a community of like minded people is so important.
At the moment most Churches are still preaching the old paradigm: Fall/Redemption theology, Christology, and a judgmental God.
Nothing will change if we just dress up the old theology in new clothes.
We need a positive theology:
Original Blessing.
A healthy attitude to the body and sex.
No punishment, judgment, or hell.
Acceptance of homosexuals.
Equality of women.
A path to personal experience of God (through prayer, contemplation, study, and action)
Through these practices it is my hope that post modern people might experience the Love and forgiveness of God for themselves.

Pluto In Scorpio.
During its passage through Scorpio from 1985 to 1995 Pluto was at its closest to the Sun (inside the orbit of Neptune) and travelling at its fastest.
So while Pluto was in its own sign we experienced an intense but short period of evil.
This included: hate, black (darkness), violence, lies, intimidation, force, cruelty, torture, the devil and hell - all overlaid with the lure of sex (particularly male strippers).
This was the disaster which befell humanity.
Since then, however, there has been some reactionary good - angels, white (light), colors, rainbows, fairies, pink, the New Paradigm, Progressive Christianity, spirituality, gay rights, charity, and love.
This began with the Uranus/Neptune conjunctions in Capricorn in 1993 and continued through to the Jupiter/Neptune conjunctions in Aquarius in 2009 and the Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions in Pisces in 2010.
The evil of Scorpio has passed away.
The goodness that followed endures.
