An Evil Influence.

There is an evil influence in our world which corrupts everything and leads to human suffering.

This is the hidden influence of Satanism in our popular culture.

Rock music, entertainment, sports, literature, and advertising all contain subliminal images and words which divert us from the path that leads to happiness and eternal life.

Death, darkness, night, shadows, gloom, doom, horror, witchcraft, black magic, hate, and evil.....

These things poison our minds and darken our spirits.

It is not just a dark fantasy it is a deliberate strategy to to damn our souls.

Death to God is the basis of black magic and Satanism.

It is the result of sin and leads to damnation.

But even if we don't believe this the obsession with sex and pleasure will lead to intense suffering and frustration with life.

Cynicism, depression, alienation, decadence, anger, bad-temper, vice, nastiness, and suicide.....

These things are the result of the obsession with sex and pleasure which Satanism sells.

So be more discerning in your watching and listening.

These things are the face of an evil influence which affects us all.

Hell.

The reason that Satanists don't go to hell is because they were given the wrong information in the first place.

What they were reacting against was the Churches' traditional image of God as a harsh judge and punisher of humankind.

And the Churches' insistence that this God was opposed to sex and pleasure.

So they assumed that His opposite - the devil - would grant them what they wanted.

This is based on dubious passages in the Bible.

For example: the devil shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and says to him: "'To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please.  If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.'"  Luke 4:5-7 (NRSV)

This claim by the devil only appears in the Gospel of Luke and how they could know what the devil said to Jesus in the wilderness is questionable.

And it was probably a lie in the first place.

And so when they see that God is not as harsh and prohibitive as as they were told and they experience the love and forgiveness of God they will change their minds.

And the devil will become redundant*.

How much more will others be forgiven who have been misled and deceived in this life!

Hell is out of character for a loving God.

Lucifer.

Lucifer was the name of Satan before he fell from Heaven. 

Lucifer was an angel of light associated with the planet Venus before the dawn.

Hence he was called "the Bringer of the Light".

But when he challenged God Himself for absolute power he was banished from Heaven forever.

And he became Satan the Prince of Darkness and the personification of hate who tempts humankind and attempts to damn our souls forever*.

This is a myth - an explanation for our experience on Earth.

But there is no devil in reality and no dark powers.

Evil on Earth is the result of human ignorance and fear.

There is no need for a supernatural explanation.

So rock stars and others who believe the myth and sell their souls deceive everyone.

But their logic will not stand scrutiny.

And their beliefs are delusions.

So don't be fooled by dazzling lights and promises of love - these things were attributes of Lucifer before his fall - Satan only brings darkness, death, and hate.

His domain is the Occult and the Dark Arts.

And it brings only suffering.

This is what you will find beneath the mask of glamour and popularity.

So be warned!

And beware! 

(*I don't believe that God will damn us in any case but this is their objective - hence the flames.)

Archetypes.

Astrology deals in archetypes.

Each planet, sign, and house has archetypal significance.

And these things exist in the subconscious.

No matter what we may think consciously.

Venus and Mars.

Everyone has the planets Venus and Mars in their Astrological charts.

So everyone has both masculine and feminine qualities.

But it is not exclusive - there are Venusian men and Martian women.

Your body may be male or female.

But your personality may be predominately female or male.

Hence transsexuals and homosexuals.

You may have a male body and experience attraction to other males.

Or you may have female body and are attracted to other females.

This is governed by the male and female planetary positions and aspects in your chart.

And it is part of the wonderful diversity of God's good creation.

Equals.

One version of the Creation Story in the Bible says that God created Adam first and then Eve from one of his ribs.  (Genesis 2*)

But the first version says: "So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."  Genesis 1:17 (NRSV)

Here male and female are equal.

And this is how it is with God - God has equal characteristics of masculinity and femininity.

So we should strive to establish equality between the sexes.

And this is how it is with Aquarius.

Males and females are equal.

Not one dominating the other which is fear.

(*There are two Creation stories in the Bible because at the time they were written there were two Kingdoms - Israel and Judah.)

Corrruption.

Generation X - the self-professed Bad Generation - have succeeded in corrupting the whole world.

They destroyed the idealism of the Baby-Boomers through violence and intimidation.

And they sold the idea that the devil was good.

Despicable, abominable, scoundrel, rogue, vice, sin, hate, evil.....

These things undermined any sense of morality or goodness.

And their materialism destroyed centuries of work by unions.

Their right-wing political views supported scapegoating and blaming.

And their religious views enforced moral hypocrisy and damnation.

But their time is coming to an end.

A younger generation of politically aware youth are transforming the political landscape.

And though them the damage will be reversed.
