The Heart.

God looks on the heart.

And the heart is located slightly left of center in the body.

The strong right arm of God can too easily become a Nazi salute.

But the softer approach of the center-left reflects the position of the heart in the body.

And this is where we should anchor our politics.

Stiff-Hearted.

Materialism makes the heart stiff.

It is unsympathetic and stingy.

It allows but a trickle of love to emerge.

And they must live on this pittance.

The Desert.

If you live your life chasing worldly prizes:

Money, possessions, fame, status, power, authority, victory.....

These things do not satisfy.

They are empty boxes.

And your life will be a desert.

The World We Cannot See.

When Bob Dylan referred to "the world we cannot see" he was referring to the collective unconscious.

And the "Commander in Chief" of this world as the devil.

You may not believe in the devil but Bob Dylan obviously does.

His deliberately ambiguous comment about a deal he made with this "Commander" casts a shadow over his role as an Evangelical Preacher.

He may claim to be Born Again.

But he may just be the biggest liar.

Satanism.

Rock bands from the 1960s onwards have followed Aleister Crowley and taken drugs.

This is a result of Satanism hidden in their music.

(Aleister Crowley was a Satanist and black magician who instructed people how to make pacts with the devil.)

Drugs.

Aleister Crowley told his followers to take drugs and practise Yoga.

This combination is condemned by the Yogis.
