Holy.

God touches our hearts.

And God's message is all about Love.

When we love someone we wish them well.

We bless them.

And this blessing is at the heart of love.

Holiness is a refinement of this blessing.

So rather than being a rarefied spiritual state holiness is the most refined state of love.

Corruption.

Since 1984 deregulation of our financial systems has seen an astronomical rise in corruption and deceit.

We are told to turn a blind eye to anything that boosts the economy.

And anyone who questions the integrity of the plutocrats is ridiculed and labelled a Marxist.

So exploitation and corporate crime have flourished.

But it is hidden in darkness.

And it is whitewashed by Evangelical Churches.

The gains made by Unions have been destroyed.

And the corporate-owned media has been flooded with propaganda.

Scapegoating and lies have become the norm.

And fake news has poisoned the Internet.

These are dark times.

But world-wide demonstrations are protesting our loss of rights.

And an increase in activism gives us hope.

There is a ray of light in the darkness.

May it become a bright star of truth.

Divine Light.

To believe in Love.

To hope for Peace.

To work for Justice.

To practise Non-Violence.

To trust in a Benevolent God.

These things are not merely naive dreams.

They are realities that flow from a God who is wholly good.

A God who is Light, Life, and Love.

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

If you have rejected the liberal spiritual approach of the Baby-Boomer Generation it is not sufficient to just go to their enemies in the conservative religions and think you are justified.

Because the hard-line conservative political approach of the Fundamentalists is not the way of Jesus or of God.

The conservative religious authorities of our world are the descendants of the Pharisees and Lawyers who killed Jesus.

They do not reflect the way of Jesus.

Nor do they reflect the way of God.

And so we are in between the devil and the deep blue sea.

And we must navigate a course between the two.

Devil Worship.

If you think that devil worship is a minor fringe phenomenon - think again!

Satanism is rife in rock music, sports, literature, movies, T.V., and the Internet.....

Death, darkness, and evil populate our entertainment.

And hate assails us from the shadows.

But there is a Light that comes from God.

And that Light will expose what is hidden.

So we will see the evil that lurks in our popular culture.

And turn to God for deliverance.

Poland.

The election of a far-right government in Poland saw the creation of LGBT-Free Zones.

But after its fall the new government abolished every last one of them.

And this is what will happen all over the world in the new age.

Anti-gay laws and policies will be swept away by a wave of light and love.

The Generations.

When we look at the generations we can see what has happened in our world.

Satanism in rock music betrayed the Baby-Boomer Generation (born 1946- 1959) into lives of decadence and degradation.

Drug addiction and promiscuity ruined their beautiful dream.

But when we look at Generation X (born 1960-1970) we see bad, violence, horror movies, materialism, cupidity, and evil.

These things were also fed by Satanism in the popular culture.

But at least the Baby-Boomers were non-violent and non-materialistic.

The Baby-Boomers might have been "unconscious agents of the devil"*.

But Generation X are conscious agents of the devil.

Peace and love was better than war and hate.

There are two groups** between 1971 and 1995 but they basically reflect the nature of the two groups above in turn.

The Millennials (born 1996-2010) are more politically aware than Generation X but they will be betrayed by their rock stars unless they become aware of the evil that lurks in their music.

They are concerned about climate-change and gun-control and they back up their beliefs with action.

It is they who will set up the Age of Aquarius in the years to come.

Iranian Dualism.

The dualistic religion of ancient Iran existed before Judaism or Christianity were founded.

In this religion God (Ahura Mazda) and the devil (Ariman) are equal in power and their kingdoms* interact to create what we experience on Earth.

Despite the fact that this is a false conception of reality it influenced both Indian religions and Judeo-Christian thinking.

So the concept of a devil with the power of death appears in the writings of St. Paul.

This idea that death is a spiritual state or kingdom derives from Iranian Dualism.

But it has no substance in reality.

In Reality there is only one supernatural power and that is God.

And God is wholly good.

We are surrounded by Life!

Death is no thing.

It is not a spiritual state. 

And it is not an realm or kingdom.

 

It is part of an archaic explanation for life on Earth.

But it appeals to those who reject God and turn to evil as a source of power and success.

They think that the devil can grant them what they want.

But this is an illusion.

Or more precisely a delusion.

Success is achieved through talent and persistence.

It is not granted by some fictitious devil.

So be wary of anything that glamorizes evil or the devil.

It will lead you to suffering and hell.

(*The kingdom of Ahura Mazda is all light, truth, and life; the kingdom of Ariman is all darkness, lies, and death.)

The Ruler of Satanism.

Satanism is ruled by the astrological sign Scorpio and its ruling planet Pluto.

It is dark, sinister, and heterosexual.

Its inhabitants are power-mad, obsessive, control-freaks.

And they use force and violence to achieve their ends.

They have little respect for the truth and they are moral relativists.

They can be vindictive and vengeful.

And they associate sex with death*.

No wonder it is called the Accursed Sign.

(*Its color is black - darkness, sin, evil, and death.)

A Higher Power.

Corporate plutocrats rule our world.

But there is a higher power than them.

You can appeal to God Himself and He will answer you.

The good in you will be vindicated.

And He will show you His Salvation.

The Secret.

Why is everyone shushing us?

What's the secret?

The secret is that rock stars have sold their souls to the devil* for fame, fortune, and sex.

And their music and videos are full of subtle poison and sabotage.

But we should not be keeping this knowledge secret.

We should be shouting it from the rooftops.

Rock music is Satanism!

Leave it behind.

(*You may not believe in the devil, but they do!)

Human Good.

The debate has long raged about whether human beings are intrinsically good or bad.

We could be excused for thinking that humans are bad by nature.

But my understanding is that our true self or soul is a Divine Spark that resides in the heart.

And as this soul is a Spark of the Divine it is intrinsically good.

Because God is wholly good.  

So human beings are basically good.

But as we grow and experience we learn fear.

And fear can cause bad behavior: violence, exploitation, greed, oppression.....

There are many good people in the world.

But evil is in control.

Love.

In the end what is wrong with the world is that there is not enough love.

For love is the universal panacea.

And love is the inmost nature of God.

David Bowie.

The reason that David Bowie was so popular was because he was androgynous and thought to be the Gay Messiah.

And as such he represented a leader of the coming Age of Aquarius.

The fact that he turned out to be a fake was most unfortunate.

Associations with Satanism and Black Magic have tarnished his legacy.

But David Bowie was a rock star.

And it is rock stars who dabbled in Satanism not their gay fans.

So associations of homosexuality with Satan are misplaced.

Gays and lesbians are androgynous like angels.

And in the Age of Aquarius we will be free!

Scapegoating.

By blaming the Baby-Boomers and Hippies for Satanism in rock music Generation X were scapegoating the evil of their own generation onto their predecessors.

They ignored the Satanism perpetrated by their own rock stars and celebrities and projected their evil onto us. 

They were then whitewashed by the religious right because of their conservative political views*.

And they blamed gay men for AIDS.

Thus setting up a scapegoat which gave them "moral ease"**.

But the fact remains that Satanism in rock music did not end in 1980.

In fact it got worse.

Not only did the rock stars of the 1980s practise Satanism but violent horror movies in the popular culture and materialism and cupidity became widespread.

Generation X were bad by their own admission.

But they claimed moral purity by scapegoating.

And the Religious Right backed them up.

(* This was created by Ronald Reagan demonizing his political enemies.)

(*"Moral ease" is the term that Hitler used for the effect on the majority of scapegoating the Jews.)

Culture Wars.

The basis of Culture Wars is a false assumption.

The objection of the Religious-Right to Liberalism and homosexuality is based on the false assumption that they are things of the devil.

But Liberalism is not Satanism.

And homosexuality is not demonic possession.

These assumptions are based on associations with rock musicians John Lennon, David Bowie, and others who practised secret Satanism in their music.

This inspired Ronald Reagan's claim that they were "unconscious agents of the devil."

But they did not blame the right people in the end. 

They misused this knowledge to destroy their political opponents.

And this error is the basis of Culture Wars.

Peace and Love.

When Ronald Reagan blamed the Hippie Generation for all the evils of the world and labelled them "unconscious agents of the devil" he set in place a whipping boy for the right.

But Peace and Love is not the devil.

The decadence and hedonism inspired by the rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s was the result of secret Satanism in popular music.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll was the work of the devil.

But Peace and Love is Jesus.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and his commandment is to love one another.

So the right-wing religious people who followed Ronald Reagan were in fact destroying their own Messiah.

By damning Hippies and Gays the religious-right betrayed its own basis.

And that is why, after 40 years, the Satanism hidden in rock music is still flourishing.

They blamed the wrong things.

Liberalism and homosexuality are not the devil.

Rock music is the devil.

Fascist Propaganda.

Part of what is happening is that we are being brainwashed by fascist propaganda in the corporate-owned media.

Plutocrats, with the backing of right-wing Churches, are rolling back welfare, aid, immigration, and LGBT+ rights.

And they justify this by claiming divine authority.

Any attempt to encourage generosity, charity, or justice is labelled Marxism and promptly dismissed.

And they gain the support of right-wing religious people because Marxism is atheistic and so they assume that God is Capitalist.

But God is no more a Capitalist than he is a Communist.

And money motivation is condemned in the Bible.

So turn off the T.V..

And throw away your newspaper.

We are being brainwashed.

What's Happening?

No one seems to know what's happening.

Everyone knows that there is something drastically wrong but no one knows what it is.

Part of the answer is that Satanism hidden in rock music, sports, and entertainment is subtly tempting and corrupting us.

Those who have sold their souls for fame, fortune, and a rock star reception undermine our ethics and encourage us to sin.

Death, darkness, and evil lurk beneath a mask of glamour and popularity.

But they are Dogs (gods backwards) and Divas (faux-goddesses).

And they want your soul in hell.

Jesus' Message.

Jesus message was one of love, forgiveness, and inclusion.....

So why are so many of his Churches intolerant, hateful, and judgemental?

The Church has been part of the conservative establishment and as such it reflects the philosophy of the ruling elite.

This is more in tune with the Pharisees than Jesus.

So take what they say with a grain of salt.

And listen to the words of Jesus.

Hard.

Hard is not the same as strong.

Hard-heartedness is in fact a product of fear.

But a strong heart is open and full of love.

To him compassion is not weakness.

And tears are not an embarrassment.

A big, soft heart is a sign of strength.

And power comes from giving love.

AFL.

Homophobia is rampant in the AFL.

It is violent, virulent, and vindictive.

And it is not just players and officials at the clubs.

It is fans.

It is evident at games.

AFL clubs are not safe places for gay men.

Be they fans, employees, or players.

It is the last bastion of homophobia.

And it is unacceptable in a modern liberal democracy.

Iceberg.

Most people will say that Satanism is not a problem because there is so little of it.

But that is because only one tenth of it is visible.

The majority of the activities of Satanism in our world are subliminal.

You will see the flames.

You will see the hand signs.

You will see the tongues.

You will see the backwards words and images.

But you will not register what they mean.

The unconscious messages are: that the devil is powerful. the devil is successful, the devil is lucky, the devil governs sex.....

All of these are lies.

All power comes from God, the flames of hell represent torment.

The devil is a born loser, he cannot win.

The devil is bad luck - Friday the 13th is unlucky, 666 is a curse.

Sex cannot be a thing of the devil - Sex was invented by God, its power and pleasure come from Him.

So if you are pretending that it does not matter you will be buying the lies.

And you will suffer.

Because they tell you to do all the wrong things.

And they want your soul in hell.

It works on your subconscious.

So think about what you see.

There is Satanism in rock music.

There is Satanism in sports.

There is Satanism in movies.

But nine tenths of it is subliminal.

The Scapegoating Mechanism.

The French philosopher Rene Girard describes what he calls the scapegoating mechanism.

This is the psychological phenomenon by which people externalize all evil onto a scapegoat - often a vulnerable minority group.

This creates a sense of moral purity and superiority.

He says that people then persecute and victimize the scapegoat.

This is what has happened since AIDS.

Many people have made gays and lesbians the locale of all evil in order to feel morally pure and good.

This despite their own attitudes and behavior.

Right-wing political forces have used this deliberately to gain political power. 

It is based on prejudice.

And it functions like a switch.

But it breaks down in the end.

And the scapegoat is vindicated.

The Whole Damn Thing.

The shift in the zeitgeist inspired by Generation X is all bad.

Bad, delinquents, pure evil, X factor, no angel, attitude, badass, devils in heaven, excellent, ticks, the right thing, picket fences, boxer shorts, deb. balls, air guitar, School of Rock, violent horror movies, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dancing with the Devil, greed is good, material girl, sharks and wolves, kick, violent computer games, red dead redemption, diabolo, the dark portal, and much more.....

All this is bad.

And it is responsible for the corruption and degradation of our society.

It undermines our ethics.

And it glamorizes evil.

Because it is based in Satanism.

Satanism.

Those who turn to the devil as an alternative to God are not reacting against God at all.

What they are rejecting is the traditional authoritarian teachings of the Church.

These include: celibacy, penance, suffering, original sin, self-abnegation, obligation, fear, hell, and the mortification of the body.....

These teachings do not reflect the nature of God at all.

They are mostly Machiavellian mass control techniques.

They have their basis in fear.

But there is no fear in God.

God loves us.

And it is His Will that we be free!

God's Church.

How can God's Church be run by people who don't know God and don't do His Will?

The answer is that those who seek positions in God's Church are interested in power and authority.

And so they are subject to the temptations of power and authority.

And even if they are not they will soon be indoctrinated into the authoritarian teachings of the traditional Church.

Jerusalem.

"'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!  How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!'"  Matthew 23:37 (NRSV)

What does this mean?

God is saying that His desire is to gather His children to Him with the love of a mother hen.

But those who run His Church are not willing.

They insist on the religion of fear and punishment.

And they slander and attack the messengers God sends to them.

The Tombs of the Prophets.

Jesus said to the Pharisees and Lawyers: "'Woe to you!  For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.'"  Luke 11:48 (NRSV)

By this Jesus was saying that those who killed the prophets sent by God had appropriated their legacy and turned it back into the authoritarian carrot and stick approach of judgement and punishment.

And I say that the same thing has happened in the Church of Jesus.

And that the descendants of those who killed Jesus now run his Church.

Propaganda.

The truth is that for 40 years we have been in the grip of Fascist propaganda.

The demonization of the political left by Ronald Reagan and Fundamentalist Christians which saw innocent people subjected to shaming and damnation still haunts our political landscape today.

The pointing of the finger and scapegoating of gays and liberals is based on lies and deliberate deception.

These techniques were developed in Nazi Germany and they work for a time.

But in the end they will be seen for the evil they are.

The part of Generation X in these lies cannot be overstated.

But nothing lasts forever.

And their hate and violence will be exposed at last.

The Gay Community.

There is no need to remind the Gay Community of the prejudice and hostility that still affects gay and lesbian people.

Political activism and perseverance will see us win out in the end.

But there is another negative influence which affects the Gay Community of which not many are aware.

And that is the dark influence hidden in rock music.

Gay venues invariably play rock music and videos for their patrons.

But there is sabotage and cursing in their products.

They whip up sexual promiscuity and wreck relationships with their superficial propaganda.

The excessive sexual activity of the 1970s was deliberately induced by duboius rock stars and celebrities.

And this will happen again unless we become more aware of the motives and techniques of those who entertain us.

Superficial sexual relationships were encouraged in the past when homosexuality was illegal and most gay men were married or in the closet.

This is no longer the case.

Young gay men are looking for a long-term relationship or even marriage.

So we must be aware of what we are watching and listening to at gay venues.

Moderation is advised in our modern environment.

But you won't here that from rock musicians.

So be aware.

And live!

Pleasure.

When we are young we experience pleasure and we assume that this will make us happy.

But indulgence in pleasure leads to burn-out and emptiness.

It is not the solution it promised to be.*

This makes us very bad-tempered.

Until we find love.

Love is the universal panacea.

To be loved is good but to love is even better.

So give your love and live!

(*Pleasure is not banned but should be practised in moderation.)

The Truth.

The Reality is that God is Love.

He does not punish us.

He does not judge us.

He forgives us with His infinite Mercy.

And He nurtures us like a Mother.

This is the Truth.

"'and the truth will make you free.'"  John 8:32 (NRSV)

This is the Good News to all who have all their lives been imprisoned by fear.

Love.

"God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them."  1 John 4:16 (NRSV)

"The inmost nature of God is love."  (Bhagavad-Gita)

So if you love God and love your neighbor you are constantly in love and in communion with God.

Love flows through your whole being.

And you are Home!

Service.

If you are doing things because you think you're supposed to the chances are that you are acting out of fear.

The result of this is usually a sense of resentment that you are being asked to do something you don't really want to do.

And this reluctance can make you unhappy and bad-tempered.

This is the opposite of what is intended.

But if your motivation is love and a genuine desire to help then you will experience joy!

This is the great happiness that comes from loving God and loving your neighbor.

And there is no experience greater than this.

3 Generations.

Satanism in rock music affects each generation according to the generational planets in their horoscopes.

And so the Baby-Boomers were encouraged to indulge in bodily pleasures - "sex and drugs and rock and roll."; "The Flesh Failures."*

Generation X were encouraged to hate and use violence and evil to win - "Sometimes you kick"; "The Devil Inside."

The Millennials are being assailed by rock stars and tempted to turn to wickedness and evil magic.

So be aware.

We have been betrayed.

Rock music is Satanism. 

(*The alternative title for "Let the Sun Shine In" the last song of Hair.)

Beast.

The origin of the Beast is in the prophetic dreams of Daniel in the Bible.

It also appears in the Book of Revelation

It represents powers that use violence and brutality to conquer and maintain dominance.

In Daniel there are four Beasts which represent the Empires of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.

The Beast in Revelation is the Empire of Rome and the man whose number is 666 is Nero Caesar.

But the Beast represents anyone who relies on violence and force to establish power.

We are seeing increasing references to Beasts in sports and entertainment.

This is no accident.

Satanism in our popular culture deliberately portrays Beasts as desirable, powerful, and successful.

Most people do not realize the sinister origins of these words and images.

So if you are supporting Beasts you are endorsing the use of violence and brutality to achieve your ends.
