The Alternative.

If you are sick of feeling rotten and negative.
If you keep trying but nothing works.
If you have given up.

There is an alternative.

The negative influences in your life come from rock music, T.V., movies, and sports.

Turn them off.
Throw them away.

There is a positive spiritual influence available to you.

Go into your room.
Close the door.
And pray.

God will hear you.

And He will answer.

Corruption.

It would seem a simple thing to change the international tax laws to make multi-national corporations pay tax in the countries in which they make their profits.

This would not only benefit Third World countries but Western governments would be able to wipe out debt and finance their welfare commitments.

But the governments of the world are not doing anything.

Why is this?

Corruption.

The people in power in our world's governments have their fingers in the till.  They benefit from tax evasion practises themselves and most are captive to the very corporations which would be affected by changes to the laws.

So what can we do?

We can vote for candidates who say they are committed to tax reform. But there is no guarantee that when they get elected they will do what they have promised.

Most of the politicians who are in power now have promised to reform corporate tax laws.  But they are not doing it.

Letters pledging commitment to these reforms are not worth the paper they are written on.

People are fed up.

Fed up with lies and corruption.

Cold.

Some people say that Church men and women are cold, that they are unfriendly, standoffish, and judgemental.

The reason for this is fear.

Traditionally the Church has taught us to fear God, to fear sex, to fear sin, and to fear difference.

And this leads to hearts of stone.

But if you open your heart to God and to others you will gain a heart of flesh - a heart that loves human beings, even strangers and aliens.

So open your heart and love God and others.

Good News and Bad News.

There's good news and bad news.

I'll tell you the bad news first:

We are all caught in a gigantic Satanic conspiracy.
Our music, T.V., movies, literature, and sports have all been infiltrated by people who have sold their souls to the devil and practise black magic and Satanism.

They use the mass media to spread their evil web.

This is not immediately apparent because most of this is done on the unconscious level with backtracking and subliminal images.

Many of the people involved are famous rock stars, actors and directors, and sports men and women.

But there is good news:

God can rescue you from these dark arts.

We are forgiven and we are saved.

He will wipe away our tears.

And admit us to Heaven.

Go into your room and close the door.

Pray to God with a sincere heart.

And He will answer you.

Hang-Ups.

An Indian Guru once said to me, "When you join a religious group you may actually develop some problems you didn't have before."

I now realize that he was referring to sex.

Having grown up in the 1960s and 1970s I had quite a healthy, open-minded attitude to sex.

Since returning to the Church in 1989. however, I have discovered that the institution still harbors serious fears about sex, especially homosexual sex.

This is backed up by its inverse - modern Satanism - which infects much of our poular culture.

So we cop it from both sides.

The problem in the Christian Churches derives from the writings of St. Paul.

Paul came from a strict sect of ascetic Pharisees and his problems with sex came from there.

Jesus did not condemn sex.
He saved the woman taken in adultery (John 8:1-11).
And he forgave the sinful woman who annointed his feet (Luke 8:36-50).

He was known for eating with sinners and forgiving their sins.

So why is the Church still obsessed with sex?

There are numerous doctrines based on fear of sex:
Repression of the passions.
All is clouded by desire.
The body of death.
The enemy of the spirit.
Animal instincts.
Evolution from animals to angels.
Even bartering sex in exchange for heaven.

These theories are a blight on human philosophy and betray their origins in fear.

The time has come to leave them behind and move forward into a future of freedom.

A Theory of Everything.

Scientists are seeking a theory of everything.

They have proposed a universal field in which matter develops.

What could this field be?

Some call it the Mind of God.

But I say: "Could it be Love?"

The basic root of all human existence is Love.

This is also true of animals.

Even plants and trees seem to respond to Love.

Could the attractive force which forms stars be Love?

Some say God is Love.

So could it be that the unifying field which creates the whole universe is Love?

Deconstructing Satanism.

The first lie to deconstruct is the idea that all sex is of the devil.
Sex is not the Original Sin.
Sex is an integral part of life and love and as such is intimately related to God.

The second lie is that you can sell your soul to the devil for fame and fortune and the perfection of your art.
There is no devil in reality.
So you cannot sell your soul.
Any apparent effects are the result of talent and hard work.

The third lie is that backwards words and images are magic.
These things are not magic but they work on the unconscious like subliminal propaganda.

The fourth lie is that God tortures us for our sins.
God punishes no one.
His mercy is infinite and everlasting.

So don't just accept what is presented to you.
It may be a deliberate lie.
