Household.

The basic social unit in the ancient world was the household.

Commerce and productivity were based in the family dwelling.

Workers and slaves were employed by the Master of the House.

"Peace to this house and all who dwell in it."

This was the blessing of Jesus' disciples.

When the master or mistress of a household was baptized as Christian their whole household was baptized with them.

It would seem that the Blessing of God was not just individual but extended to the whole family and even to servants and slaves.

So.....

"Peace to this house and all who dwell in it."

The Heart of Aquarius.

The Egyptian hieroglyph of a jar (ab) means the heart.

The Water Jar of Aquarius is your heart.

And the water is love.

So pour out your love over your beloved.

And you will find that the source of love in your heart is infinite.

The more love you give the more love there is to give.

This is the secret of the enigmatic symbols of Aquarius.

And the new revelations coming into the world now.

Gay Love.

Homosexuality is love.

We experience attraction and tenderness in the same way as heterosexuals.

We admire him immensely.

We desire him intensely.

Our love is subject to the same exigencies as heterosexual love.

And we long for companionship and faithfulness in the same way.

Homosexuality occurs in nature.

So you cannot say it is unnatural.

And homosexuals go to Heaven.

Of this there is no doubt.

Gay Martyrs.

The first recorded gay martyr was Saint Sebastian.

But history has crucified gay people to this day.

From Oscar Wilde to Matthew Shepard we have witnessed the persecution, torture, and death of gay people in modern times.

The coming of the AIDS Pandemic heightened and hardened a prejudice which was already present in our conscious and unconscious minds.

But none of this justifies the hate speech put out by small Christian Churches like Westboro Baptist Church and the Truth of Jesus Christ Church.

Hate speech inspires and justifies violent crimes against gay people.

It is unacceptable and it should be banned.

Talk of religious freedoms should not justify the vilification and persecution of gay people.

Not all Christian Churches believe that gay people go to hell.

The Episcopalian Church in America and the Uniting Church in Australia allow gay marriages in their churches.

It is clear that God does not discriminate.

Those tortured and killed because they are gay will be remembered as gay martyrs in the future.

Relationship.

In the 1980s when I was experiencing problems a colleague said to me: "The problem is your relationship with God."

By this he meant my homosexuality.

But I now realize that my problems were not the result of a poor relationship with God but of my relationship with Satan.

By this I mean my involvement with rock stars who were secretly Satanic.

This hidden influence was the cause of much of the problems associated with disturbed youth.

Our addiction to rock music ensured that our minds were constantly fed with negativity, darkness, and evil.

Since swearing off rock music my mental and emotional condition has improved dramatically.

I have even experienced the joy and peace that comes from God.

The cause of my problems was not homosexuality but rock music.

So unplug your earphones and delete your rock music.

Pray to God.

And He will release you.

There is no devil.

There is no hell.

Sex is good.

Homosexuality is O.K. with God.

God is transcendent.

God is sublime.

God is all good.

God is Love.

The Birth of the Light.

Jesus is the Light of the World.

And his birth is celebrated on the day that was called the Birth of the Sun which is three days* after the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is not a literal event but a symbolic one.

Jesus was not enlightened when he was born.

The stories in Luke and Matthew are pretty fairytales designed to establish Jesus' divinity.

The Gospels differ in their declaration of the time that Jesus became the Son of God.

From adoption at his baptism in Mark to the beginning of time in John.

But there is no doubt that Jesus was a highly enlightened person.

And the celebration of his birth is a delight in the Light coming into the world.


(*The Sun is stationary for three days.)
