Words of Light.


We have been inundated with negative words and images.

Darkness, evil, death, night, hate, sin, wicked, vice, Satan.

Monster, punisher, animal, predator, beast.

All these words derive from Satanism hidden in our popular culture.

And Satanism derives from a reversal of Christian teachings.

So the words which will counter this negative suggestion already exist in the Christian scriptures.

Light, goodness, life, day, love, virtue, righteousness, God.

Angel, mercy, human, guardian, lamb.

These words lead us to God.

The light of the world, the waters of life, the goodness of God, the commandment to love, the lamb of God, the Prince of Peace, the Beatitudes.

These are the words of Light.

And they lead us to Salvation.

Supermen.


Friedrich Nietzche believed that Christianity was a conspiracy of the weak against the natural leaders.

The strong were the Supermen who should by nature rule the world.

But a lack of compassion and mercy combined with violence and greed do not make for a better world.

The Supermen have failed.

Their dominance leaves us helpless.

And their rule has left us in darkness.

The enlightened ones are those who show compassion and mercy.

Those who reflect the benevolent Will of God.

God.


People may die, knowledge may change, prophecies may fail, empires may fall, and Heaven and Earth may disappear.

But the Love of God will not pass away.

Blaming God.


There will always be some people who will blame God for what is wrong with the world.

They blame God for all the things that are bad in their lives.

They blame God for sickness.

And they blame God for suffering.

Because He made it like this.

Some will even hate God for it.

And some will turn to the devil as a preferred option.

Satan seems more reasonable, even desirable to them.

They hate God's Church and they hate God's people.

They lie, kill, cheat, and destroy.

And they want to go to hell.

But they are sorely mistaken.

What is wrong in their lives is the result of ignorant human beings, usually motivated by fear.

It is the darkness.

So turning to the dark side will only make things worse.

It is not God 's Will  that we suffer.

It is God's Will that we love on another.

And when there is love we are O.K..

Love is the universal panacea.

Love is the remedy for all that is wrong with our lives.

Even money and possessions will flow from love.

We will always have enough.

So don't blame God for what is wrong with the world.

God loves us.

And it is God's Will that we learn to love.

Sex.


Sex is not just a physical act.

Sex creates life itself.

When children are born they have physical bodies.

But they also have minds and spirits and hearts and souls.

All of these things participate in the sexual act.

Sex is a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and divine act.

And this is how we experience sex.

Sex is a Lifequake!

It integrates our whole being.

It reaches to the very depths of our self.

It is also a spiritual act involving the divine spark within us.

David and Jonathan.


"The soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul....."
".....Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.  Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt."  1 Samuel 18:1-4 (NRSV)

"Jonathan lies slain upon your high places, I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you to me, your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."  2 Samuel 1:25,26 (NRSV)

Caps.


Why is your cap on backwards?

Do you even know?

It's some sort of statement:

"I think backwards."

"I'm bad."

Or are you just copying?

Copying who?

Why is his cap on backwards?

Or is it to do with sex?

I'm anti-what?

Anti-everything.

That's Satanism.

And the one you are copying is a Satanist.

Hidden.


What is hidden from us in this world is the activities of Satanists in our popular culture.

These are people who have sold their souls in the traditional fashion and do the devil's work in our world.

Mostly working on an unconscious level they push dark images and vices upon us.

They encourage us to sin.

And they lure us to the dark side.

Rock musicians, celebrities, movie stars and directors, novelists, sports men and women, commentators etc. distract and disturb us; they tempt us and  curse us and damn us to hell.

But all of this is hidden behind a mask of glamour and status which attracts and seduces us.

We think that they are like us.

But they are not.

Evil lurks behind the dazzling lights and the make-up.

So don't take what you see at face value.

Look beneath the surface and analyse their words and images.

The chances are you will find evil there.

Love.


The world's problems are caused by fear.

Every time you give your love you reduce the amount of fear in the world.

For love casts out fear.

And love is the universal panacea.

Peace.


We pray for peace in our world.

Peace between Palestine and Israel.

Peace in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Peace between China and America.

Peace between China and India.

Peace in Korea.

May level heads prevail, Lord.

And may we have peace and safety in our world.

And goodwill between the nations.

Refugees.


We pray for all those in Refugee Camps and Detention Centers.

People fleeing war and persecution.

Including LGBT+ people.

Hold them in your loving embrace, Lord.

Hunger.


We pray for all those who are hungry.

And the children who will die.

Because of our System.

Take them to your bosom, Lord.

Praying.

Unfamiliar Teachings.


God does not punish us.

God does not judge us.

There is no devil.

There is no hell.

God loves us.

God forgives us.

God is reliable.

God is merciful.

God is trustworthy.

God is truthful.

Even if Jesus knew these things - and there is evidence in the Gospels that he did - these remain unfamiliar teachings.

Why is this?

They are unfamiliar teachings because the religion of Jesus of Nazareth was hijacked by conservative leaders who compromised Jesus' teachings with the imperatives of the Roman State.

They reinstated the carrot and stick religion of rewards and punishments which ruling elites have preached since the time of the Pharaohs.

The purpose of this theology is to keep the masses under control.

It does not represent Jesus.

And it does not represent God.

So the nature of the real God remains a secret.

And this secret is revealed to precious few.

No Devil.


God is One.

Dualism is false.

So there can be no devil.

God's Radical Love.


God's Love is truly radical.

God punishes no one.

God judges no one.

His mercy extends to the most heinous sinners.

And His forgiveness is everlasting.

Radical.


"Sell all you own."

"Love your enemies."

"Your sins are forgiven."

"Forgive them, Father."

These statements bear witness to the radical teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus was not some luke-warm moderate.

Neither was he a hard-line conservative.

Jesus was truly radical.

His teachings were new.

They had never been heard before.

But no matter how radical Jesus was God is more radical.

Church.


Despite the fact that the Churches are not perfect and can in fact do a lot of harm there are several factors which I have found extremely helpful to my spiritual development.

Firstly, the emphasis that the Church puts on addressing the needs of others is important.  We are encouraged to put others before ourselves.

Secondly, the Churches' support of charities, national and international, is helpful to our development.  We can contribute to charities and be more mindful of the poor and needy everywhere.

Thirdly, the practise of daily prayer that the Churches recommend is a vital part of a good relationship with God.

Finally, the expression of gratitude to God for the spiritual and practical assistance that He has given us helps us to remain humble and honest.

These are positive characteristics that are present in most Churches.

Poland.


A third of Polish provinces have declared themselves LGBT Free Zones.

And the Polish President has called LGBT ideology "worse than Communism."

How being gay or lesbian became an ideology I don't know.

But the Catholic Archbishop of Poland called it a "rainbow plague"

This is beginning to sound familiar.

These are the very tactics that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis used to gain political power in Germany.

And we know how that turned out.

So don't just turn a blind eye to fascist propaganda.

It is dangerous.

And it is deadly.

The Facts.


The fact remains that there is an objective truth.

There are facts that can be verified.

So check the facts yourself.

Do not rely on the media to inform you.

They will tell you what they want you to think.

Double check.

And check the motivation of media reports.

We have been betrayed, brain-washed, and controlled.

Big Brother is watching.

Astrology.


Right-wing Fundamentalist Christians have accused people of evil because they use astrology.

Excuse me!

Ronald Reagan, who designed this nightmare we are now living in, used astrology himself!

They didn't say he was the Beast.

They said he was a hero and a savior. 

Ronald Reagan also said that Christianity contained "unconventional weapons". 

By this he meant such things as: damnation, demonization, shame, guilt, and fear.

And he used them all in his war against the political Left. 

But Reagan was a not a saint.

Reagan was a politician.

And he used astrology and religion to create a political victory.

Equals.


Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus and Saturn.

Uranus governs homosexuals.

Saturn governs men.

So a cooperative relationship between gays and men will characterize the Age of Aquarius.

An alliance between gays and men can offset the greater excesses of feminism.

And return men's self-esteem.

It can also satisfy homosexual longings for masculine companionship.

So an admiration for men that respects his wishes and his rights and his vows can overcome entrenched homophobia and prejudice.

And lead us towards the Age of Aquarius.

Eclipse.


The lunar eclipse of 5th July 2020 falls in the sign of Capricorn.

Negative aspects of Capricorn (as represented by the retrograde planets in that sign) include: snobbery and class distinctions, homophobia and gay conversion therapy, misogyny, racism, fascism, judgemental attitudes, harsh punishments, hard-heartedness, intolerance, and isolationism.

The eclipse of the moon in Capricorn should stop (eclipse) most of these negative phenomena in our world.

The effects of an eclipse last 6 months so this should bring us to the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in Aquarius of December 22nd 2020.

All will be well.

The Dark Side.


Contrary to popular belief endorsing hate in any form is turning to the dark side.

God is Love.

And Jesus' commandment was to love.

So any suggestion that hate is from God is a lie.

Hate is the domain of evil.

And anyone who hates is in league with evil.

Despite their protestations.

So we should refuse to hate and base our manifesto on love.

Hate.


The right-wing political machine uses hate to destroy the ideas and characters of the political left.

Left-wing ideas are labelled an agenda or an opinion or politically correct in order to destroy them.

And left-wing political candidates are attacked and blackened, slandered and ridiculed in the mass-media.

This relies on hate and in fact creates hatred of the Left.

Mud sticks.

It doesn't seem to matter whether its true or not.

But the fact remains that the Right is relying on hate to win power.

Dukkha.


The Buddha said: "All life is suffering."

And this is true.

All life is suffering until you find love.

The presence of love in our lives makes us feel O.K..

But it is when we learn to open our hearts and give love to others that we are truly Home.

And this is because when we give love to others we are always in love and so we are always O.K..

God is Love.

And when we love we are in God and God is in us.

So love God and love your neighbor.

Then you will be Home.

Suffering.


Satanism causes suffering.

Satanism in rock music causes drug addiction and divorce.

The suffering endured by innocent people as a result of their diabolical practices is enormous.

Overt and covert messages in their music tell young people to take drugs.

And the shameless promotion of promiscuous sex results in many divorces.

Children suffer along with their parents.

And it doesn't end there.

Depression, violence, hatred, suicide, mental illness, self-destructiveness, and evil all derive from rock music.

We are caught in a web of evil which spans the whole world.

A web which includes rock music, movies and T.V., literature, news, and sports surrounds us.

We are inundated with malevolent messages.

But these things are hidden.

Often behind a mask of glamour or goodness.

Reject their dark fantasies.

Don't be fooled by appearances.

Look beneath the mask.

There you will find malice and evil.

Turn to God.

And He will heal you.

Let Go of Fear.


Lay down the sword.

And cry out to God!

Let go of your fear.

And trust in God.

God is reliable.

God's Love is steadfast.

God's mercy is infinite.

And God's forgiveness is everlasting.

God loves you.

Let go of your fear.
