The Reality.

When you replace Soma (drugs) with Brihaspati (devotion) the search for God becomes real.

(The Council of the Gods decided that Soma fought on the side of the demons and his place was taken by Brihaspati.)

Reagan's Apple.

What Ronald Reagan actually did was adopt Nazi propaganda techniques to create political power.

Demonization of scapegoats was what Hitler did to the Jews.

It is a political technique that creates "moral ease" for the majority.

By demonizing the political left in general and liberals and gays in particular the right-wing political machine mobilized fear and hate in Generation X in order to win power.

Generation X stood over the left-leaning Hippies and blamed and shamed them for all the evils of the world.

This was fueled by economic fears and generational jealousy.

They told us to "get real" and "grow up".

Meaning abandon our ideals and normalize corruption.

But this was not bringing us down to earth as they claimed it was corrupting our ideals.

They were not agents of God's judgement they were dirty, rotten scoundrels mobilized by evil.

Because God's way is not down to earth and corrupt, it is not the way of the world, it is a High Way.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways,

and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."

Isaiah 55:9 (NRSV)

So the judgement instigated by Ronald Reagan was a fraud from the beginning.

It was the temptation to use Hitler's political techniques.

They said "never again" then they used it themselves.

If you try to use the devil to win it will be the devil using you.

Transsexual

If you think that transsexual people are unnatural and opposed to God's Will try reading The Song of Solomon in the Bible.

Throughout this epic love poem the gender of the Beloved changes between male and female.

The Beloved is likened to many things including both sexes.

So if your authority is the Bible there is evidence that transsexual people are beloved of God.

Evil Words.

Bad, rogue, scoundrel, despicable, abominable, beast, darkness, night, shadow, malificent, wicked, hate, evil.....

These words have been deliberately planted in our popular culture by those who follow Satan* in order to corrupt your mind and turn you to sin.

The purpose is to turn you to such an extent that your soul will be damned to hell.

(Or so they think.)

So be aware.

And beware.

We are being betrayed!

(*You may not believe in Satan but others do!)

Satisfaction.

"Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, 

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?'  Isaiah 55:2 (NRSV)

The world chases after money, possessions, pleasure, status, fame, power, success.....

These things do not satisfy.

"Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, 

and you that have no money, come buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk, 

without money and without price."  Isaiah 55:1 (NRSV)

What is this mysterious water?

What is this intoxicating wine?

What is this nourishing milk?

What is this life-giving bread?

It is Love.

Only love will satisfy the soul.

Holy.

God touches our hearts.

And God's message is all about Love.

When we love someone we wish them well.

We bless them.

And this blessing is at the heart of love.

Holiness is a refinement of this blessing.

So rather than being a rarefied spiritual state holiness is the most refined state of love.

Corruption.

Since 1984 deregulation of our financial systems has seen an astronomical rise in corruption and deceit.

We are told to turn a blind eye to anything that boosts the economy.

And anyone who questions the integrity of the plutocrats is ridiculed and labelled a Marxist.

So exploitation and corporate crime have flourished.

But it is hidden in darkness.

And it is whitewashed by Evangelical Churches.

The gains made by Unions have been destroyed.

And the corporate-owned media has been flooded with propaganda.

Scapegoating and lies have become the norm.

And fake news has poisoned the Internet.

These are dark times.

But world-wide demonstrations are protesting our loss of rights.

And an increase in activism gives us hope.

There is a ray of light in the darkness.

May it become a bright star of truth.
