The Search.

The Baby-Boomer Generation rejected the Traditional Christianity of the 1950s which was negative, authoritarian, and threatening.

And we set out on a search for God.

Many of us experimented with Yoga and Eastern Religions.

But our search was sabotaged by Satanists in rock music.

Promiscuity and drugs diverted our pure intentions and ensured that our efforts ended in failure.

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

And social justice became decadence.

 

The alternative title for Let the Sun Shine In - the final song of the Musical Hair - was The Flesh Failures.

And so we were set up from the beginning.

And we were sitting ducks for Reagan's Judgment of the Millennium.

But the Bible says: "Ask, and it will be given; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you." Luke 11:9 (NRSV)

So the search may yet be fruitful.

If we turn to God in prayer.

Hades.

In Astrology the asteroid Hades represents the crude or even evil aspects of our personalities.

These are hidden in our shadows and relegated to the subconscious where we don't acknowledge them.

But they are there and they will affect our behavior despite our protestations.

In the ancient world they were thought of as demonic spirits and were removed by exrocism.

But God can remove these things if we pray.

In the Book of Daniel it says: "Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined."  Daniel 12:10 (NRSV)

And this is what transpires if we turn to God.

Feminism.

Feminism began as a justice movement.

It was lucid, enlightened, and necessary.

It became about power and hate and defeating male dominance by any means.

Women became obsessed with destroying the Patriarchy and establishing a Matriarchy.

The original intention was to establish equality, not supremacy.

So the trajectory of Feminism has been diverted.

Some seek power and knowledge through witchcraft and paganism.

Some seek power over men and boys - male strippers and toy boys.

Sexual dominance was not the original intention of Feminism.

The original objective was equality.

Progressive.

Progressive politicians are sweeping the Democratic Party in the U.S..

This is a sign that younger voters are moving to the left.

They support issues like: universal healthcare, action on climate change and gun control, dismantling ICE, social justice, and corporate taxation.....

And these ideals are compatible with progressive religious ideas that are emerging.

Progressive Christianity supports: social justice, diversity, non-violence, welfare, and peace.....

So support for progressives does not mean abandoning your religion.

Rather it reforms a religion that has lost its appeal in the modern wotld.

Agents of Evil.

There are agents of evil at work in our world but they are not who you think!

Rock stars, sports men and women, writers, actors, and directors, even betting companies and others.....

This is the hidden evil of Satanism in our culture.

They will addict you to pleasure, gambling, and football.....

They will wreck your relationships.

And they will sabotage your spiritual quest.

Satanism is religion backwards.

It is death, darkness, violence, force, punishment, hate, drugs, and evil.

It is damnation and hell.

Hence all the flames.

So be more discerning in your listening and watching.

Counter negative influences with classical music and scripture.

Then you will be on your way Home!

The Hand of God.

We may look at the world and see all the terrible things that are happening - the suffering cause by ignorance and fear, the violence, the lies, the corruption.....

We may even see agents of evil at work.

But despite all of this there is a God.

And He is working in our world.

It may not be immediately apparent, or manifest in the way we might expect.

But God is at work in acts of charity and compassion.

He is present in mercy and forgiveness.

And He is with us in the giving of love.

Homophobia.

At the root of the persecution of LGBT+ people in our world is fear.

Fear of immorality, fear of illness, fear of death.....

And it is this fear that drives Conversion Therapy.

Religious people are so afraid of homosexuals that they feel compelled to force us to change.

They still think that AIDS is caused by homosexuality.

And they still think that AIDS is God's punishment.

But because these errors are caused by irrational fears they can be changed by eduacation.

AIDS is caused by a virus, HIV, it is not moral in its behavior.

And in any case AIDS is cured so it cannot be punishment from God. 

And it never was.

So if you are homophobic look at the fears that drive you.

And when the fear is gone homophobia will be gone.
