Odd Ideation.

                            

If you come across odd ideation - such as the unbiblical notion that if you have sex on earth you can't go to heaven - the chances are that it is wrong.

Most of these ideas are put out by rock musicians who are involved in modern Satanism - i.e. selling your soul for fame and fortune and the perfection of your art.

You will find that these strange ideas mostly relate to sin, fall, damnation, and hell.  Thus they betray their Satanic origins.

So before accepting popular notions about sin and shame for example you would do well to check it out with someone who might know.

Otherwise you are prey to evil forces.

Heaven.

The River of the Waters of Life

Running through the Valley of Heaven.

And each side the Tree of Life

With its Leaves for Healing.

Safe.

                   

People may say that I am warm and friendly.

But this is no credit to me.

Before I encountered the Living God I was withdrawn and sullen; I was as cold and insular as anyone else.

I have come to realize that this was fear.

We are afraid of being hurt.
So we bury our hearts and build protective walls around us.

But God takes away our fear.

God's Love is steadfast.
He is reliable and trustworthy.
Our love is requited.

So we have no reason to fear.

We are free to express our love for others.

Because we are safe.

Rationalizing Fear.

                            

What people do is act according to their fear and then rationalize their religion to suit.

This is why much of the Church is inadequate but no one ever admits it.

People have a fear of those who are different or those who have greater needs.

But, rather than confronting their fear and overcoming it, they hide beneath a facade of respectability.  They may even say they are helping when they are not.

And what makes them do this but fear.
Fear of being overwhelmed, fear of failing to cope, fear of being seen to transgress God's commandments, fear of being ostracized by their peers.

So they lie.
They lie to you and they lie to themselves.

Then no one will ever know.

Blessed One.

Your body,

sculpted like rock.

Radiates

with splendid beauty.

The sun gilds you.

Water blesses you.

I catch a glimpse

of your glittering

gaze.

The Zeitgeist.

                            

The Zeitgeist is a German word which means the prevailing winds of public opinion.

At present the Zeitgeist in the Western World is controlled by corporate plutocrats and media moguls who have turned us hard and tough.  Whatever happens we must work harder.

Whenever a serious crime is committed they scream: "Burn in Hell!" or "Rot in jail forever!"

It would seem that no criminal should ever be released from jail.

This is a direct contradiction of God's Reconciling Will.

God tells us to visit those in prison and to pray for them.

God tells us to forgive.

God tells us to reform and be reconciled to the community.

This is God's mercy acting in our world.

We would do well to follow suit.

Cursed.

                                            

The Hippie/Baby-Boomer Generation do not realize that they have been cursed.

The ideals of peace and love, freedom, and the redistribution of wealth have almost disappeared.

What happened?

First of all their rock bands betrayed them.

The rock legends of the 1960s pioneered Satanism in rock music.

Peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll.

Subtle influences in the music steered them towards pleasure and excess.

Backtracking and subliminal images manipulated the unconscious.

But it was not until the 1980s when the political climate changed that they were finally reconstructed.

The violent hostility of Generation X and the Reagan and Thatcher administrations combined to eradicate the last vestiges of idealism.

And the curse was complete.

Subsequent generational groups have fared no better:

Generation X became hate, violence, and pure evil.

Generation Y were cursed with sin and hedonism.

Generation Z became wicked wizards, vampires, and werewolves.

Each generational group's rock bands and celebrities manoeuvred the popular culture to turn their youth towards evil.

The Millennials are the first group unaffected by the astrological sign Scorpio - which governs Satanism and black magic.  Perhaps we will see a move away from darkness and evil.

I hope and pray that we do.
