Fairy Story.


In the not too distant future,

In the shelter of the Rainbow,

Will rise the Good Fairy.


His want is moderation.

And he has a tender heart.


He has the Seal of God in his hand 

And his forehead.


He will not be seduced by the dark

Or by demons.

But he will banish evil 

With the light of his mind.


He will wake the people

From their dreadful sleep,

And restore the good 

To its rightful place. 


None will perish

But all will be changed.


And his brothers will herald

A Golden Age!

Hypocrites!


The Church that I go to is like a holiday camp for the rich.

They spend their time swanning around the world on million dollar cruise ships while people are starving.

They cash in on the good points while ignoring the message.

They neglect their own congregations while claiming spiritual superiority.

They lock the doors of the church and shut their own doors on fellow worshippers.

They claim the credit for others' deeds. 

And they will not broach any criticism.

They make excuses when challenged.
  
And they threaten any dissent.

They give lip service to the Gospel.

And they avoid inconvenience.

All the while congratulating themselves on their goodness and holiness.

They are hypocrites!

And someone should say so.

In League with the Devil.


The right-wing political machine is in league with Satanists in our popular culture.

Contrary to popular belief Satanists in the music industry and in our entertainment and sports are not left-wing but hard right-wing.

They support white-supremacists and Fascist politicians.

And they use their Satanic magic to advance them.

It is part of the Right's hate campaign against the Left.

And it gives them tremendous power.

But a new generation us rising.

The Millennials (born 1996-2010) are left-wing politically and surprisingly well-informed.

It is yet to be seen whether they can revive the political Left or whether the hate and bribery of the Right will prevail.

Death.


With the advent of the Coronavirus everyone was hoping that their enemies would get the virus and die.

This was the origin of people claiming that the virus was punishment for homosexuality or Chinese Communism. 

But we also hope that our enemies die.

When Peter Dutton and Boris Johnson contracted the virus many rejoiced.

Unconsciously we thought this proved God's condemnation of their right-wing political views.

But at the root of this murderous hope is fear.

Fear of their right-wing agenda.

But we also have an agenda.

We both are trying to establish God's reign on Earth.

So fear is the problem.

Fear of God's punishment.

Unconscious fear of condemnation drives many to murderous thoughts.

We think that if only we could kill all the enemies of God all will be well.

But this is not the way.

And this is why Jesus said to love your enemies.

Because it is fear of God that drives them.

So we should pray for our enemies.

And rejoice in the Love of God.

Black.


"'The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.'"  John 3:19 (NRSV) 

Have you noticed that some people wear black or dark colors all the time?

They love darkness.

For their deeds are evil.

Black is a uniform in the corporate world.

"'For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.'"  John 3:20 (NRSV)

Darkness extends to entertainment and movies, even to science - dark mater, dark energy, black holes.....

We are in the grip of darkness.

But the Light is coming with Aquarius.

The starlight. the day.

Gradually, step by step, the Light is dawning.

Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Richard Rohr, Jack Spong, Matthew Fox, Dominic Crossan, and many others are showing us a new way to vision spirituality.

And the hand of God is evident within it.

Progressive Religion is the New Paradigm.

This is the Light breaking into the darkness.

But those in darkness hate the Light and try to destroy it.

This is what happened to Jesus.

The Cross.

So try not to trigger their fears.

Show them the Light.

And pray for them to see.

Love.


"Love rests on no foundation.  

It is an endless ocean, 

with no beginning and no end." 

- Rumi.

Love Songs.


Have you ever noticed that most of the love songs put out by rock stars are about leaving love?

They never seems to be about successful love relationships.

They are about broken hearts.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll ruined two generations' relationships.

They are all divorced.

And this was done deliberately by Satanists in rock music.

They turned peace and love into war and hate.

And they asked: "What is more important love or immortality?"

These subversive tactics have left two-thirds of the population single.

And two generations without love.
