Mephisto.

The masters of the corporate world have joined forces with right-wing Satanists in the music and entertainment industries.

The numbers 13 and 666 and letters or words backwards or upside down are warning signs.

This evil liaison is hidden in the darkness.

They all wear black.

And their intentions are evil.

They want to subjugate humanity under a 1000 year Reich ruled by the devil himself.

And the devil claimed his soul.

Retirement.

The default position for retirement is: travel/holidays, looking after the grandchildren, visiting your financial adviser, profiting from investments, voting conservative, supporting the Status Quo, asking no questions, not rocking the boat, just doing what everyone else is doing.....

Sports, must watch T.V., tickets, restaurants, shopping.....

These things are economically approved activities.

But now that we are retired we are no longer subject to the philosophy of the corporations.

We can think and do as we please.

We can support Internet activism.

We can volunteer.

We can support important issues like Climate Change and Gun Control.

We can vote Socialist.

We can challenge corporate greed and corruption.

We can campaign for peace.

We can support the United Nations.

We can investigate religion and spirituality.

We can live again!

The Wisdom of the Ages.

The ancient Chinese Book of Changes - the I-Ching - describes times when inferior people are in positions of authority as not in harmony with the benevolent will of Heaven.

These times are characterized by the imposition of harsh punishments, mistrust, exploitation, and war.

In other words the way that the world is now.

By contrast when superior men are in power there is harmony, generosity, justice, and peace.

And this is in harmony with the will of Heaven.

Soul.

Generation X are bad.

And that is their curse.

But God can redeem their souls from within their lies and mistakes.

Deep within them is a little child who is innocent and good.

God can call out this little child, this soul.

And give them the love that they have lost.

Then the ugly grub will be transformed into a beautiful butterfly.

Angels and Devils.

I remember an episode of Big Brother in which the host asked the housemates to dress up as angels or devils.

Needless to say the majority chose to dress as devils.

But there were some angels among them.

After various tasks the host announced: "All our angels are safely fallen."

This is a graphic example of bad peoples' attitude to good people.

They are jealous.

And they try to bring them down.

They want to kill them and send them to hell.

But they cannot fool God.

God is good.

And He wants us to be good also.

Downfall.

Satanism is based on lies.

Therefore it cannot last.

Eventually they will have to face the fact that what they believe is not in line with the facts.

There is no devil.

There are no dark powers.

The only supernatural being in the universe is God.

And God is good.

So get with the strength.

And turn from the devil and his works.

Be reconciled to God through love - the unseen hook.

Set.

During the early 1980s I attended a lecture on Egyptian mythology.

There I met a girl who said to me, "I have been doing meditations on the Egyptian gods but Set keeps interrupting them."

Set is the Egyptian devil.

Later I realized that this interference was coming from the rock music she was listening to.

The rock bands of that era made no secret of their admiration for Aleister Crowley.

Unknown to us was that Aleister Crowley was a black magician and Satanist.

One of his books The Book of Thoth is about Egyptian magic.

And rock stars who had sold their souls to the devil practised all kinds of magic.

Egyptian symbols can be seen in many of their albums and videos.

This is why the spiritual practices of the Hippies led to nothing.

Their meditations were interrupted and diverted by Satanists in the rock music they constantly listened to.

They were stabbed in the back.

And their spiritual aspirations were sabotaged.

And this is still happening today.

So if you want to practise meditation I suggest that you throw away your C.D.s and videos and turn off  the T.V..

We have been betrayed.

Hate.

From 1984 to the present day we have seen a campaign of hate against the political Left.

This campaign of violence - verbal, emotional, psychic, and spiritual - is fueled by hatred and revenge.

It is generational.

The Older Generation combined with Generation X under the leadership of Ronald Reagan to bash the Baby-Boomers into submission.

This is a brainwashing technique used by violent governments to suppress any dissent.

Pressure is applied to the offending area and then an option is opened up which relieves the pressure.

This is called Reconstruction.

And this is what they have done.

They also use techniques from George Orwell's novel 1984.

But the fact remains that it is based on hate and evil.

So, no matter what the Religious Right may say, the Baby-Boomers will be vindicated in Heaven.

Healing.

Rather than blaming and shaming people who have taken drugs we should be praying for their healing.

Drugs were pushed on youth by Satanic rock bands.

Their motives were evil from the beginning.

So it is not entirely the fault of those individuals who took drugs.

Backtracking and subliminal messages told them to take drugs.

And peer pressure reinforced these messages.

It is my prayer that they see what has been done to them and that they be reconciled and healed.

Sex.

The creation of life is not the sole purpose of sex.

Sex creates intimacy, tenderness, and love.

So homosexual sex is just as valid as heterosexual sex.

We seek a loving union with another.

We seek to give our love to another.

We are not necessarily intending to create new life.

And although new life is not just a side effect of sex we are seldom thinking about that during sex.

So the pleasure and intimacy created by sex is as important as procreation.

And gay sex is a valid expression of love.

Your Choice.

Peace and Love is Jesus.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll is Satan.

Idealism is God.

Decadence is the devil.

Virtue is Divine.

Vice is demonic.

Discipline is good.

Drugs are evil.

Sacred music is meditative.

Rock music is disturbing.

You have a choice.

Choose to Live!

Opinion.

If we put forward ideas that are more humane in this world we are told that it is just our opinion.

This is an excuse to reject them out of hand.

But right-wing ideas are promoted and enforced.

This is their opinion.

Not everything is relative.

There is a truth.

But the right uses its media to advance their agenda.

This is not objective reporting but propaganda.

So turn off the T.V. and silence the radio.

We are being brainwashed.

What You Need to Know.

The first thing you need to know is that there are evil people out there.

They are not always obvious and some of them are famous people* but they are evil none the less.

Most of them have rejected the God of judgement and punishment in favor of the devil.

They sell their souls and do evil in the world.

The second thing you need to know is that they are in league with corporate plutocrats and right-wing political forces which deceive and betray everyone.

They exploit and oppress everyone and seek self-aggrandizement and the subjugation of the masses.

The third thing you need to know is that the traditional image of God as a harsh punisher and judge of human beings is false.

This image of God is a projection of our experience of earthly authority figures - fathers and kings - and is a product of fear.

God is our loving Father.

He does not judge us.

He does not punish us.

He loves everyone equally.

And He shows us mercy and forgiveness.

The last thing you need to know is that the purpose of life is love.

We look for love outside of ourselves.

But when we look within and find love in our own hearts we have learned the ultimate lesson.

Love God and love your neighbor.

Then you will be Home.

The Divine Husbandman.

God is sometimes called The Divine Husbandman.

A husbandman is a farmer - a tiller of the soil.

At first I found this puzzling.

But after some thought I realized that God plants seeds in our minds and hearts.  And He tends them and watches them grow into beautiful fruits and flowers.

There are innumerable references to this process in the Bible.

Not only in the Old Testament but in the New Testament in particular.

Jesus was constantly referencing agricultural symbols.

So whether it be the Cedars of Lebanon or the Branch of Jesse, whether it be the Parable of the Sower or the Joyful Harvest, the scriptures are full of farming metaphors.

And so it is appropriate therefore to think of God as a patient Divine Husbandman.

Sweet and Sour.

The world has gone sour.

Everything is bad, wicked, filthy, despicable, abominable.....

Everything is cynical, pragmatic, degenerate, and corrupt.

We lie, cheat, and steal.

We consume.

And we fxxk.

And all this has been deliberately induced.

What happened to good.

What happened to ideals.

What happened to equality and humanity.

Darkness surrounds us.

And we give up.

But there is a spark of light.

A speck of hope on the horizon.

Mercy, forgiveness, compassion, charity, and love.

Truthfulness, honesty, non-violence, peace, and tolerance.

These things are entering our world by the hand of God.

God touches our hearts.

We respond with reverence and gratitude.

No longer do we espouse the values of the world.

We taste the sweet values of God.

And we create the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Dividend.

Whenever a child dies of starvation in our world we can blame the dividends we receive.

This is because the dividends are from Multi-National Corporations who exploit and oppress the poor.

And don't say that your investments are not in Multi-National Corporations.

The chances are that your company is owned by one of these Corporations.

And don't say that your investments are ethical.

Because ethical investments are mostly in Banks and Banks make their money from these same Corporations.

And don't say that you are not responsible.

Human Rights reforms have been voted down by shareholders at AGMs around the world.

So every time a child dies of starvation we can blame the dividends we receive from those who profit from it.

The System.

We may pray for the hungry and the children who will die.

We may even give money to charities who will help them.

But why do they die when the world produces enough food to feed everyone?

The answer is the entrenched System in the West.

This System ensures the dominance of the West by maintaining the secrecy of the financial arrangements of Multi-National Corporations.

And it is backed up by massive armies.

We are told that information about investment and business practices is private and protected by law.

This goes back to the British Empire which was established at the point of a gun and maintained by force.

Now we are complicit with this Domination System.

We profit from its crimes.

So every time a child dies from starvation we can blame the System that the West has established to keep us on top of the world's wealth and power.

This System is whitewashed with democracy.

And it poses as freedom.

But it is a Capitalist System.

It is neither democratic nor free.

The media ensures that we are distracted and misinformed.

And our governments make sure we are confused and powerless.

Corrupt politicians betray us.

And shareholders reject reforms.

So the hungry are ignored.

And children die.

Blaming the Victims.

Instead of blaming the rock legends who sold their souls in the 1960s and 1970s right-wing Evangelical Christians blame their fans - Hippies and gays - for political purposes.

This is blaming the victims.

And it is the basis of the irrational mentality of many Evangelicals today.

This was instigated by Ronald Reagan who labelled the Hippies "unconscious agents of Satan".

But Reagan was a politician.

And his demonization of the left was political.

Hippies and gays are not to blame for what their rock stars have done.

And they are not controlled by the devil.

The same cannot be said of their rock stars however.

But Satanists are right-wing.

They support white supremacy and fascism.

They idolize Hitler and Nazism.

The political left was betrayed.

And Hippies and gays were crucified.

But we are innocent.

We were set up from the beginning.

And we will be vindicated in the end.

Hippies and Gays.

Hippies and gays are not agents of Satanism.

Hippies and gays are victims of Satanism.

Emerging.

Gays and lesbians are emerging from persecution.

With the advent of gay marriage laws around the world gay people are beginning to be accepted.

But the last vestiges of homophobia are digging in and trying to reverse the trend.

They will fail.

Gay rights are human rights.

And those who oppose gay rights are opposing human rights.

History will show that the gay rights movement was not killed off by the AIDS Pandemic but strengthened.

Those who oppose the acceptance of gays and lesbians will be on the wrong side of history.

And gay people will be free!

The Last Hurdle.

The issue of legal homosexuality and gay marriages has become a symbol of the collision of conservative and liberal social forces.

But now that AIDS is virtually cured the sting has gone out of the conservative objections and a more tolerant attitude is gaining momentum.

The hard-right conservative element in some countries, however, is digging in and making homosexuality a scapegoat for society's evils.

This is the last stage of homophobia in our world.

And when it is defeated we will be free!

Homosexual Sex.

Sex involves the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and divine aspects of our being.

It integrates our whole self.

And this happens whether it results in the creation of life or not.

Sex is the ultimate union with another.

It is the consummation of love.

So homosexual sex is just as valid as heterosexual sex because the creation of life is not what we are seeking.

We are seeking union with another.

And sex satisfies one of the great urges of our being.

Gut-Reaction.

Part of the right-wing campaign against the left is the sowing of hatred.

Black magic techniques transmitted through rock music and sports can induce a gut reaction over which we have no control.

This is why people hate certain individuals but they don't know why.

And it affects how people vote.

This is why the plutocrats and politicians don't expose the black magic and Satanism in rock music, entertainment, and sports.

It is too useful to them.

The media is full of these triggers: hell, monsters, terror, evil, threat, violence, fear.....

And they are married to Satanic rock.

So turn off your T.V. and throw away your newspapers.

We are being poisoned.

The Bottom.

Quentin Crisp said that in the 1920s they blew the bottom out of everything to such an extent that they thought it would never be the same again.  But what they didn't realize was that afterwards they put the bottom back in again.

And this is what has happened with the world's religions.

The Buddha taught the Middle Path and compassionate love.

But afterwards the authorities of religion put the bottom back in by making the message about desire and merit.

Jesus taught the way of non-violent love, even for our enemies.

But afterwards the religious authorities put the bottom back in and taught chastity and judgement and repentance from sin.

This is why the religions of the world fail.

They do not teach the truth.

But they enforce the carrot and stick approach of the ruling elites.

Because they are part of the establishment their motivation is power and control.

And this is backed up by the prophets.

"Ah, you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves!  Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?  You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.  You have not strengthened the weak, you have not healed the sick, you have not bound up the injured, you have not brought back the strayed, you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them."  Ezekiel 34:2-4 (NRSV)

"The shepherds also have no understanding, they have turned to their own way, to their own gain, one and all."  Isaiah 56:11 (NRSV)

The religious authorities have turned to their own gain - the power and privilege of the ruling elite.

This is what has happened to the religions of the world.

So, even though I preach peace and love, those who come after me will try to put the bottom back in and turn the message back into judgement and punishment for sin.

They will stigmatize sex and homosexuality and impose guilt and fear.

Because these things give them power over others.

And this ensures their wealth and privilege.

The Koran.

What is needed is a new interpretation of the Koran.

New interpretations of the Bible have led to the development of Progressive Christianity.

And this approach can be applied to the Koran.

Just as violent and judgemental passages of the Bible have been challenged so can such passages in the Koran be challenged.

God is non-violent.

He does not judge us or punish us.

These passages in the scriptures are the result of the fears and assumptions of the messengers.

Human beings are not perfect.

We dread punishment, assume Dualism, and project our expectations of Natural Justice onto God.

But God is transcendent.

He does not act in the way that we expect.

God loves us.

And even the most heinous sinners are His children.

"Indeed, God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."  John 3:17 (NRSV)

"God is light and in him there is no darkness at all."  1 John 5 (NRSV)

And I say God is Love and in Him there is no violence at all.

So the passages in the Koran which seem to justify violence and judgement are not from God at all, they are the result of the fears and assumptions of the Prophet.

So we need not fear God.

God is our loving Father.

And we can look forward to the Day of Benediction.

Mandela.

It was a surprise to everyone when Nelson Mandela, after 27 years in prison, announced the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Rather than seeking revenge he was prepared to pardon those who came forward to confess their crimes against the black majority.

I believe that Nelson Mandela was guided by God in his decision.

Contrary to popular belief God does not punish evil.

He pardons evil and seeks to redeem those who have fallen victims to its wiles.

Fear lies beneath acts of evil.

And we are all subject to fear.

So if we are forgiven then those who have committed crimes are also forgiven.

And, as Jesus said, he who is forgiven more will love more.

Gay Hate.

The right-wing political machine has a scapegoat.

Homosexuals are portrayed as evil agents hell-bent on destroying society.

This is fed by the fear and hatred of the Religious Right and Generation X.

And we get little support.

"I'm not gay so why should I care?"

You would do well to listen to the words of Martin Niemoller's poem First They Came for the Communists.

It resonates with society today.

Only evil can come from hate.

And there is evil in our world today.

Hate is contagious.

So don't entertain any words or images of gay hate.

Even if you're not gay.

Otherwise you are condoning evil in our world.

Rock Stars.

Behind the facade of beauty and glamour lies a dark secret.

Rock stars sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

This explains the culture of decadence and excess which characterizes rock music.

And it explains how peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll.

Far from intending to bolster the ideals of the Baby-Boomer Generation they in fact literally betrayed them.

The rock music of the 1960s and 1970s was subtle sabotage and backwards Satanic magic*.

And make no mistake their intention was to consign our souls to hell.

And this is still happening with today's rock stars.

So don't be fooled by seductive appearances.

Rock stars are literally Satanic.

And their music is poison.
