Murder.

When Generation X are challenged they call themselves "Pure Evil".

Thus they resort to spiritual violence and murder.

But they bury this in the unconscious and justify themselves with the help of Fundamentalist Christians, right-wing politicians, and corporate plutocrats.

Thus they eliminate their political opponents.

But the fact remains that these right-wing political forces rely on this violence, hate, and murder to achieve their ends.

And so they are in league with "Pure Evil".

Generation X and their allies have turned to the devil in order to win.

And their teeth are the teeth of the Beast.

Decay.

Over the last 4 decades our sense of ethics and ideals has been gradually eroded.

Bad, no angel, sin, wicked, despicable, abominable, rogue, good and evil - a bit of both, hate, violence, war.....

These things have whittled away at our conscience.

We are being told to compromise our principles, to wink at corruption, and to abandon our ideals.....

All this sacrificed to the idols of money and profit.

But this is not God's way. 

God is honest, truthful, pure, generous, and wholly good.

He does not compromise.

And He does not change.

The God we encounter is the same God encountered in history.

And that God is Love.

He Who Deceives the Whole World.

Satan or the devil has been called "He who deceives the whole world." (Revelation 12:9)

And it is true that Satanists in rock music, sports, and entertainment deceive everyone.

Since the 1960s, and before, rock musicians have secretly practised Satanism in their music.

This hidden influence pushes sex and hedonism and encourages drug taking and sin.

This results in untold suffering.

But their ultimate purpose of death* and damnation is hidden in their music.

"Dead Roses", "Sympathy for the Devil", "Their Satanic Majesties Request". "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Carry that Weight", "A Friend of the Devil is a Friend of Mine", "Crime of the Century", "We are the Dead", "Ashes to Ashes".....

All these and more curse us and sabotage us.

And it is not just these.

It continues today with rock stars and sportsmen.

Literature is riddled with dark themes:

Night, darkness, shadows, witchcraft, violence, demons, and evil.....

All these things betray their purpose.  

They empower the dark side.

And they turn us to evil.

This is not just some dark fantasy.

It is a deliberate attempt to damn your soul.

So be discerning in your watching and listening,

We have been betrayed.

(*Death to God - St. Paul.)

(NB: I do not believe in a literal devil but I do believe that there are those who do.)

Life and Death.

In Astrology the sign of Scorpio is said to represent sex and death.

This unfortunate anomaly reinforces the negative image of the body and sex in the writings of St. Paul.

And this association forms the basis of black magic and Satanism.

But sex does not bring death.

Sex brings life.

A new life is born from the union of two adults.

So perhaps it is better to associate sex with transformation and rebirth.

Sex brings new life!

Then death is nothing.

The Church.

When we were young the Church was part of the Conservative Establishment and as such it claimed authority and demanded obedience.

The Church taught that God would judge us and punish us with eternal damnation if we disobeyed.

Their attitude to sex was extremely negative and induced guilt and shame.

Homosexuality was never mentioned.

So it is little wonder that an educated generation rejected the Church outright.

The revelations of child sexual abuse were just the last straw.

But after closer scrutiny of the scriptures it has become evident that this traditional Church is not representative of Jesus or God at all.

It is in fact the equivalent of the Priests and Pharisees in the New Testament and as such they are "blind guides". (Matthew 15:14)

God is merciful, forgiving, and gracious.

He does not judge us.

And He does not punish us.

God loves us like our mother.

Only better.

So do not reject God or Jesus because of the teachings of the Church.

"But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you."  Matthew 6:6 (NRSV)

No Weapons.

If you Google Male Angels you will invariably get images of musclebound angels wearing armor and brandishing swords - ready to fight against the devil.

But evil is not overcome by violence or force.

Evil is overcome by the sheer power of love.

Love is the most powerful force in the universe.

And Love is the inmost nature of God.

So when you image male angels make sure that they have no weapons.

Because it is not weapons that will save us but love.

Holy.

The opposite of evil is not merely good but Holy.

This is a method of understanding the Holiness of the Divine.

It is not some cold, rarified, distant paragon.

It is the pure and perfect refinement of Love.

Homophobia.

The world has become poisoned with homophobia.

Right-wing political forces are attempting to roll back advances made to protect homosexuals.

Countries in Africa and elsewhere are passing laws that criminalize homsexuality.

Some are even introducing the death penalty.

This fuels prejudice and hate.

And the fear that followed AIDS.

But AIDS is cured!

So religious and social objections are invalid.

Homosexuality is acceptable to God.

And gay people go to Heaven.

Brutality.

"Football is brutal."

It is violent and merciless.

And it is the home of the Beast.

Players make the sign of the horns.

And the presentation is riddled with flames.

The commentators use violent language.

And the advertisements are dubious.

So don't put your faith in sports or entertainment.

It is poisoned with Satanism.

Natural Justice.

It is our human expectation that God will reward good deeds and punish evil.

This is called Natural Justice.

But this does not seem to take place in reality.

This is because God transcends our human understanding.

God can see deeper than the surface we see.

He knows the reasons why people act the way they do.

Violence, abuse, deceit, fear....

These things cause the problems we face in life.

And so while we expect Natural Justice we never expect it to apply to ourselves.

But God does not judge us or punish us.

He merely withdraws from error.

And when we turn to God at last we encounter mercy, forgiveness, and grace.

This does not stop the evil and madness we experience on Earth.

But it changes us.

We become more benevolent, more relaxed, more generous......

Our fears fall away as we experience the Love of God.

And we become the person we were meant to be.

God restores our soul.

And we find peace.

Lukewarm.

"And to the church at Laodicea.....

.....I know your works, you are neither cold nor hot, I wish that you were either cold or hot.  So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.  For you say, 'I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.'  You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor,,,,,"

Revelation 3:14-17 (NRSV)

And so it is.

Life on Earth.

During the 1970s I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the world.

Everyone was miserable and nothing seemed to work.

So I set out to find out what was wrong.

I retired to my apartment with a selection of books - mostly on mythology.

This was only mildly successful and caused  more problems than it solved.

I continued to practise Yoga but fell foul of the authorities because I was gay.

During the AIDS crisis I returned to the Christian Church in search of refuge from the hatred and hostility that was directed at me because of my sexuality.

Fortunately the Church that I chose was discussing the issue of gay sexuality which helped with my mental health.

This involved study of the Bible and exposure to new Progressive Christian ideas.

It also involved a great deal of prayer.

Eventually I realized two things:

One was that there is an evil influence affecting us all through rock music and entertainment.

This glamorous and seductive influence is riddled with secret Satanism.

Death, darkness, night, excess, hedonism, hate, decadence.....

Sex and drugs and rock and roll ruined us all.

Little did we know it was Satanism.

So I stopped listening to rock music and watching suspect movies etc..

My mental health improved dramatically.

But it was when I realized that the answer to my question - what's wrong with the world - was that there was not enough love in the world that my life changed completely.

I merely followed the instructions to love God and to love your neighbor.

This filled my life with love.

And I was able to live again.

Because God is Love.

And love is life!

Gay Love.

Gay love is love.

There is no distinction.

Most prophets and messengers were men.

And they worshipped a male God.

So same-sex love is the very basis of spirituality.

Yogis and their students.

Jesus and the Beloved Disciple.

Rumi and Shams.

Same-sex relationships dominate religion.

So, far from being banned, same-sex love should be celebrated by the world's religions.

God's Radical Forgiveness.

God does not judge us or punish us.

God loves us.

And He shows us His radical forgiveness.

The New Testament is full of parables where God writes off debts.

And Jesus says: "Your sins are forgiven".

So do not be afraid to turn to God.

For He will show you mercy and forgiveness.

And He will offer you the gift of grace.

Sex is Love.

Sex is love.

The energy we experience as sexual desire is in fact love.

And this applies to all sexual desire including same-sex desire.

All sex is looking for love.

At a deeper level the soul longs to love and be loved.

And we experience this longing as sexual desire.

What's love got to do with it?

Everything!

So do not be afraid to express your love.

With respect for the loved one's wishes, rights, and vows.

Then your love will be requited.
