Sex is Love.

The energy which we experience as sexual desire is none other than love.

The love that we feel for the beloved is expressed through sexual desire.

This comes from God.

God is Love.

The rest is fear.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love."  1 John 4:18 (NRSV)

Backwards.

Why do those who worship Satan practice religion backwards?

The answer is simple: Sex.

Because they believe that the Church (and therefore God) are anti-sex they reject God and the Church and sell their souls to the devil in order to get sex.

They believe that practicing religion backwards is rewarded by Satan with whatever they want.

But because sex is love their ultimate motivation is love.

The other thing that they are interested in is money.

It can be noted that most of them come from poor backgrounds and the fear of poverty drives them.  They are so afraid of poverty that they are prepared to sell their souls to avoid it.

So their motivation is fear.

These two motivations: love and fear are ultimately forgivable.

So we can pray for them to be forgiven and reconciled to God.

Pillars.

You would have them monsters,

demons of the dark side,

hell-raisers,

and followers of Satan.


I would have them angels,

agents of the light,

rocks of faith,

and pillars of the Aquarian Temple.

Musclemen.

Hewn from rock

like Michelangelo's Giants,

they form the pillars

of the Aquarian Temple.

The rock of faith

in their Heavenly Father,

through hearts

like jars of living water,

their bodies temples

of the spirit,

they embody the substance

of the Mountain of God.

Bedrock.

I had a dream in which I was in a large cathedral full of worshipers of all kinds.

In the center of this cathedral was an excavation which was digging down into the rock below the floor.

On these rocks were beautiful carvings which seemed to me to be very old even though they were being carved as I watched.

My interpretation of this dream is that the ideas and dreams of Progressive Christianity are older than the doctrines of Christianity as we know it.

The basic ideas which Progressive Christians seem to agree on are that the bedrock of Jesus' teachings is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and to love your neighbor as yourself.

So the edifice of Progressive Christianity is being established with a cornerstone of unconditional love.

Clouds.

In the water

that rises

from the sea

we can see

the firmament

of heaven.
