Aquarius.

As we enter the Age of Aquarius it is important to remember that the Hippie Generation failed in their attempts to make the world a better place.

There were two reasons for this:

The first is that the rock stars who hijacked the peace and love movement had secretly sold their souls to the devil as taught by the black magician and Satanist Aleister Crowley.

The rock legends of the 1960s and 1970s made no secret of their admiration for Aleister Crowley but it was not widely known that he was Satanic.

And so peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll and freedom became decadence.

The second reason is that they went too far in their pursuit of freedom and pleasure and this triggered a backlash in the 1980s.

The fear that follows excess is Fascism.

We saw it in the 1930s and we saw it in the 1980s.

 

A hypocritical moralism that blames and shames emerges to create political power for the Conservatives.

And the advent of AIDS provided a convenient scapegoat.

And so the Hippie Generation were bashed and reconstructed as powerless consumers.

And gays and lesbians and Liberals in general became a world-wide scapegoat.

But the phenomenon of modern Satanism in rock music was not eradicated.

  

It persists today.

And they will betray the younger generation in the same way.

And unless Millennials practise moderation in their pursuit of freedom a Fascist backlash will follow in their wake.

The World.

When a child is born he abides in his parent's love.

And he gives his love freely.

But when he goes to school he begins to encounter the world.

And what he encounters is fear.

So he erects defenses against attack.

But because he is too young to be self-conscious he is unaware of what he is doing.

And so he grows and encounters more fear and hostility.

And when he goes out into the world he is confronted with all manner of established defenses and unconscious threats.

But if he turns to God and follows Jesus' commandments his fear begins to abate and he returns to the child buried deep within himself.

And he begins to love.

God's Work.

What is God's Work in the world, His hope for humanity?

"Is not this the fast that I choose:

  to loose the bonds of injustice,

  to undo the thongs of the yoke,

  to let the oppressed go free,

  and to break every yoke?

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,

  and bring the homeless poor into your house,

  when you see the naked to cover them,

  and not to hide yourself from your own kin?"

Isaiah 58:6,7 (NRSV)

But the powers of this world do not do these things.

They enforce injustice, impose the yoke, oppress their workers, ignore the hungry, and exploit the poor.

"But your eyes and heart are only on your dishonest gain,

  for shedding of innocent blood,

  and practising oppression and violence."

Jeremiah 22: 17 (NRSV)

And conservative Christians support them.

So we must oppose the agenda of the Conservatives and advocate for the powerless.

Jesus.

Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians, Pentecostalists and conservative Catholics are the descendants of those who killed Jesus.

They systematically oppose everything that Jesus stands for while appropriating his name and usurping his power.

The Christ is an absolute.

And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The conservatives in the Gospels are the Pharisees and Sadducees and the Priests* who convicted Jesus of death and handed him over to the Romans to be crucified.  

So do not be concerned when conservative religious people point the finger at you and accuse you of death. 

You are in good company. 

(*See Matthew 23:29-36)

Guilt by Association.

Guilt by association will not stand up in a court of law.

But this is what Fundamentalist Christians and conservative politicians have been doing since Ronald Reagan.

Reagan labelled the Hippies and Baby-Boomers: "unconscious agents of the devil".

By which he inferred that they were controlled by rock stars who practised Satanism. 

But this is guilt by association.

The Hippies and Baby-Boomers do not even believe that their rock stars are Satanic - so how can they be guilty?

At worst they are the victims of Satanism not the perpetrators. 

Even less so are the left-wing politicians that conservatives have tarred with the same brush.

This is blatant political propaganda.

It is demonization of your political opponent using guilt by association.

But we are not guilty.   

And we never were!

Generation X.

Generation X is the generation from hell.

They are bad, wicked, and pure evil.

Their idol is the devil.

And their heroin is the Material Girl.

They identify as sharks and wolves.

They are hypocritical, judgemental, and violent.

Many are narcissists.

And many are Satanists.

But they are favored by the plutocrats who rule our world.

And they are whitewashed by Fundamentalists who approve of their conservative political views.

But the edifice they have created is built on lies, prejudice, and hatred.

   

It is built on sand.

And when it falls its ruin will be great.

The Last Gasp.

It is important to remember that the American election was held with Pluto in the last degree of Capricorn.

This indicates the last gasp of the right-wing Fascist populism which has plagued our world in the last decade.

After Pluto returns to Aquarius later in November this year it does not return to Capricorn for 250 years.

And Pluto will be in Aquarius for at least 20 years.

So all is not lost.

The Age of Aquarius will still be upon us..
