Fear of AIDS.

AIDS inspired fear.

And fear inspired moral panic.

And so gay men were subjected to shame and damnation.

And many gay men internalized feelings of self-hatred because of these psychic pressures.

And all the lies of homophobia emerged from the unconscious.

Gay men were said to have indulged in excessive promiscuity and sexual license which many thought was the cause of AIDS.

Others claimed that AIDS was God's punishment for homosexual behavior.

But these ideas are not based in fact.

Gay men were no more promiscuous than straight men and women in the 1960s and 1970s.

And straight men and women did not experience AIDS to the same extent.

So these ideas are suspect to say the least.

They are in fact forms of homophobia.

AIDS has brought these issues up into the conscious minds of everyone.

And there we are able to deal with them.

So examine your attitudes to gay people.

Are they based in fact?

Or are they forms of fear and prejudice?

On this hangs all our hopes.

Generation X/Generation Z.

Desecration art, transgression, blasphemy, Piss-Christ, Gothics, witchcraft, devils in heaven, hell tonight, black-shirts, Neo-Nazis, fascists, hate, horror, pure evil.....

Generation X turned to the devil en masse.

They blame God and they hate good.

But because Ronald Reagan was a father-figure to them their image is whitewashed.

Reagan's crusade against the Hippies saw them cop the blame for everything.

But hate is the dark-side.

And devil magic is backwards.

This came to a head when Donald Trump attempted to flip everything in his favor with the support of Generation Z.

Generation Z are those born between 1984 and 1995.

They have Pluto in Scorpio and Uranus conjunct Saturn or Uranus in Capricorn.

This makes them lawless and violent.

And they may be reactionary conservatives.

Many of this generation follow the conspiracy theories of QAnon.

But January 6th saw them go too far and their faction is discredited.

Never again will the American people support anti-democratic fascists in government.

And when Pluto enters Aquarius in 2024 their black edifice will be dismantled and destroyed.

And they will be exposed as evil forever.

Maybe This Time.

Loneliness is one of the great issues in our world.

Everyone is looking for love.

But few actually find it.

Our world is the vale of the broken-hearted.

But God mends our broken hearts.

God will requite our love.

And if we learn to give love we will always be in love.

This is the answer to life's basic dilemma.

Love God and love your neighbor.

Then you will never be lonely.

Black Victory.

Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, the Religious Right, Corporate Plutocrats, and Generation X achieved the victory of Capitalism by violence, hate, and evil.

Violence - verbal, emotional, psychic, spiritual, and physical.

Hate - generational and political.

Evil - right-wing Satanism in rock music and popular culture.

This resulted in Devils in Heaven and Hippies in Hell.

It scapegoated and damned gays and lesbians.

And because it is backwards it blamed the victims.

These are not legitimate methods in a liberal democracy.  

But its time is up.

The political landscape is changing.

The right-wing political machine took things too far.

The religious left has emerged.

And a new generation of politically aware young people has arisen.

This will see the zeitgeist reversed.

And the light of Aquarius will reveal their evil.

The generation from hell will return there.

And the innocent will be vindicated.

Christmas.

The joy experienced by those who witnessed the birth of Jesus is reflected in the joy that all feel at the birth of a new child.

The new life that comes from God inspires great joy and happiness.

We are blessed and favored with new life!

This can be experienced by anyone who establishes a relationship with God.

Joy and peace are the characteristics of this relationship.

They are glimpses of Heaven.

And the reality of God's Love.

And Jesus brings us into relationship with God.

Equality.

Aquarius is about equality.

And all are equal in the sight of God.

This clashes with the realities of our world.

A world where the rich have all the power and the poor are oppressed and exploited.

The disparity between rich and poor in the world is at an all time high.

But as Aquarius dawns this will begin to change.

We have already seen a shift to the left politically and this brings with it a commitment to the equalization of power and wealth.

The rich will be taxed to pay for Social Welfare programs.

And unionization of the workforce will improve wages and conditions for workers.

There will be a return of support for the United Nations.

And Foreign Aid will be increased.

This is the beginning of Aquarius.

And it will be endorsed by the Religious Left.

And so all will be equal in the sight of God.

The Gospel.

The Gospel is uncompromisingly Marxist.

There is nothing Capitalist or even Prosperous about the Gospel.

"'Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain shall be made low.'" Luke 3:5 (NRSV)

"'He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly, he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.'"  Luke 1: 52,53 (NRSV)

"Sell all you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.'"  Luke 18;22 (NRSV)

"There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.  They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need."  Acts 4:34,35 (NRSV)

"'You cannot serve God and wealth.'"  Matthew 6:24 (NRSV)

The King James Bible uses the term filthy lucre - attributing it to both St. Peter and St, Paul.  

So why does the Church reject Marxist ideas and support the Status Quo?

There is not one word of Jesus' teachings in any of the Creeds.

Instead we have statements about the Christ which establish him as an absolute.

At Nicea the Bishops aligned themselves with the ruling elite and they modified the Gospel to suit its needs.

Therefore we have Universal Condemnation for Original Sin, Jesus as a human sacrifice, and the threat of Judgement and Eternal Damnation.

These are the temptations of power.

And God sends his prophets to challenge them.

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants describes their fate.

Home.

There is a way Home.

And that way is through your heart.

Open your heart.

Love God and love your neighbor.

God's inmost nature is Love.

"We love because he first loved us."  1 John 4:19 (NRSV)

Love God and love your neighbor.

Then you will be Home!

Mary and Elizabeth.

Mary and Elizabeth were cousins.

Their family must have had great faith.

But their faith may not have been Orthodox.

Both John the Baptist and Jesus were critical of the established religious leaders.

This is in keeping with the Old Testament Prophets.

If you read the Old Testament you will find that the Prophets were harshly critical of their leaders.

This was God's way of renewing His Covenant with Israel.

So both John the Baptist and Jesus were the fulfillment of a long line of Prophets.

This is in keeping with the Islamic understanding of Jesus.

Jesus was a Prophet but not the only Son of God.

Whether Jesus is the Messiah or the Christ is perhaps a moot point if you see him as a figure of renewal of God's Covenant with humanity.

Cancel Culture.

When God sends a revelation and blessing the negative forces in our culture try to cancel it.

There are evil forces at work in our popular culture which operate counter to the Will of God.

These include Satanic influences in rock music, movies, T.V., literature, and sports.

But these are not the only influences that will try to stop you.

Right-wing religious and political voices will contradict God's Word.

They will cancel your blessing and try to reestablish orthodox or fundamentalist views.

These involve placing conditions on God's Love and imposing condemnation and rigid moral rules.

"The inheritance will all be ours."  They say.

Our job is to reinforce God's message of unconditional love and forgiveness.

And to pray for them to overcome their fears and see God more clearly.

For they are Children of God also.

Aquarius.

Aquarians are mater of fact about sex.

They are not prudish or repressive.

They are not afraid of sex.

They believe in the natural free expression of sexuality.

And this applies equally to homosexuality.

Homosexuality is seen as a natural expression of the diversity of God's good creation.

The repressive and fearful teachings of the Churches are seen as ignorant anachronisms that should be left behind.

As we enter the Age of Aquarius.

Love Wins.

We were not born with clothes on.

So nudity is not indecent.

God did not invent marriage.

So sex outside of marriage is not immoral.

We are victims of fear and pride.

But God is Love.

Love will endure.

And Love will provide.

The Messiah.

Although John the Baptist was inspired by the Holy Spirit he was not the Messiah.

John the Baptist's message was to prepare people for the coming Messiah.

Jesus is the Messiah.

And his message was one of forgiveness and love.

He taught the Mercy and Love of God.

But the religious authorities felt so threatened by his message that they conspired to kill him.

This was because Jesus challenged their power.

 

Their power over the masses was invested in the perception of God's judgement and punishment.

By preaching forgiveness and love Jesus challenged the very basis of their power.

And so they got rid of him.

This is the true story of the crucifixion.

Prepare the Way.

"Prepare the way of the Lord, make good his ways."

This is the cry of John the Baptist.

And when they asked him: "What then must we do?"

His answer was to practise basic honesty and charity.

Things that perhaps we take for granted.

But the world no longer takes honesty and charity for granted.

They wink at corruption.

And they cut aid and support.

So perhaps we need this message once again.

"Prepare the way of the Lord, make good his ways."

Aquarius.

The secret symbols of Aquarius:

The glyph for Aquarius is the Egyptian hieroglyph for water.

The hieroglyph of a jar is ab - the heart.

So the enigmatic water of Aquarius is love.

We pour out the life-giving water of our love to the world. 

But Aquarius is an air sign.

And so the key to Aquarius is the concept of unconditional love for everyone.

Generation Z.

Generation Z are those born between 1984 and 1995.

They have Pluto in Scorpio and Uranus conjunct Saturn or Uranus in Capricorn.

They can be lawless and destructive.

They may be reactionary and irrational.

They were the majority of the insurrectionists at the Capitol on January 6th.

And they are the majority of the followers of Q.

But Q is evil.

It is hateful and poisonous.

A snake with a forked tongue.

But the new authorities are putting them in jail.

Their extreme behavior is criminal and evil.

Many of them are anti-vaccers.

And their protests are violent.

But they remain a small minority.

And their influence is limited.

Sex-Phobic Christians.

Most of the evil in our world is caused by sex-phobic Christians.

This is because those who turn to the devil are reacting against the hard-line sex policies of the Church.

They blame God for Christians' sex-phobia.

But, as the name suggests, sex-phobia is fear.

Fear of transgression, fear of punishment, fear of hell.

But there is no fear in God.

God does not condemn our sexual activity.

He invented it after all.

And that's to say nothing of homophobia.

Generation X.

Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Rocky Horror Show, The Phantom of the Opera, Show no Mercy, Misery, Resident Evil, Red Dead Redemption, Diablo, Burning Crusade.....  

Generation X has a diet of horror, violence, and evil.

They have turned to the devil en masse.

But the darkness hides them.

They wear black.

And you cannot see black in the darkness.

But the Light from God shows us their evil.

It illuminates both evil and good.

Their Satanic magic is backwards.

It is evil posing as good.

The good devil.

Devils in Heaven.

Pitch Black, Black Beast, Pure Evil, Back in Black..... 

They love the darkness for their deeds are evil.

They are the generation form hell.

AIDS/COVID.

It is interesting to compare the world's reaction to AIDS with our reaction to COVID-19.

No one is suggesting that COVID is punishment for sin.

Whereas many said that AIDS was God's punishment for the sin of homosexuality.

Why is this?

It can only be the result of ignorance and prejudice.

And what is their explanation for the fact that AIDS is now virtually cured?

Has God changed His mind?

Have they paid off their debt?

What could be happening?

None of this seems to apply to the COVID-19 virus.

Ask yourself why that is.

You may be surprised.

Cold War?

It's no use merely returning to Cold War politics.

We cannot just oppose human rights abuses in traditional enemies: Russia, China, and Cuba.

We cannot ignore human rights abuses against gays and lesbians in Christian countries: Poland, Hungary, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda.....

Nor can we ignore human rights abuses in traditional allies like Saudi Arabia.

We cannot afford to create an enemy.

We cannot afford to create two sides.

It's One World or none!

Peace initiatives should be made to traditional enemies: Russia, China, and Cuba.

And sanctions should be introduced to those countries who abuse gay and lesbian rights: Poland, Hungary, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda.....

We cannot condone hypocrisy.

We must endeavor to create One World at peace.

Murder.

It has been said that if you want to stop an army cut off its head.

And this is what has happened in our world.

The political movements of the 1960s were halted by cutting off their heads.

The murders of John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X effectively stopped the civil rights movements of the time.

This is a pattern which continues to be played out in our world.

It has been done throughout history.

And it will be done again unless we become aware of the sources of evil in our world.

It may be helpful to see who benefits from these acts of murder and violence.

Who feels threatened by political and social movements that demand change?

Who profits from the reinforcement of the Status Quo?

Then we may see the truth at last.

A Sensible Approach to Sex.

What the Church lacks is a sensible approach to sex.

Sex is an urgent need that should not be suppressed.

It is not bad or wicked.

And it is not dirty.

Sex is the consummation of love.

And as such it is part of God's good creation.

Homosexuality is love for one's own sex.

It is congenital.

And it is good.

It cannot be acquired or changed by will or force.

And it is not condemned by God.

Gay men and women partake of Eternal Life.

And we are secure in the Love of God.

Reagan's Plot.

Ronald Reagan's political campaign was a "cunningly conceived plot."  Psalm 64:6 (NRSV)

He was reported to have said that Christianity contained "unconventional weapons".

And he used them in his campaign.

These "unconventional weapons " included: demonization of his opponents, damnation of his enemies, blaming and shaming, redemption and salvation.

And he used them as weapons against the Left.

He labelled the left-leaning Hippie Generation "unconscious agents of the devil."

And he called the Soviet Union "The Evil Empire."

He harnessed the hatred and violence of Generation X and directed it against his enemies.

And he enlisted the help of the anti-Communist Pope John Paul II.

But the fact remains - there was no truth in his propaganda.

It was based on hatred and revenge.

And in the end it conspired with evil to win.

The right-wing media reinforced his campaign.

They told us he was a hero and that we preferred his ideas.

But these were lies deliberately and consciously propagated.

He used the Millennium to induce a Last Judgement which was intended to last forever. 

And we endured The End of History.

All of this was planned in secret by right-wing think tanks.

And put into practice through their media outlets.

But nothing lasts forever.

The time has come to expose his lies and the evil motives that inspired them.

His campaign was not a spiritual crusade but a war of hate.

And as such it was intrinsically evil.

Plots.

"Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the dread enemy.  Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, 

from the scheming of evildoers, who whet their tongues like swords, 

who aim bitter words like arrows, shooting from ambush at the blameless; they shoot suddenly, and without fear.

"They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly,

thinking, 'Who can see us?  Who can search out our crimes?

We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot.'

For the human heart and mind are deep."  Psalm 64:1-6 (NRSV)

And so it is with Generation X and the corporate bosses.

They think: "Who can see us?  Who can search out our crimes?"

But God can see them.

And His Light will reveal the truth.

That their actions are evil.

Mercy.

What awaits those who have been violent and corrupt in life?

What awaits those who have turned to the devil?

Despite what Fundamentalists may tell you what awaits them is God's Mercy.

God does not punish us or judge us.

He knows our fears and the hidden causes of our transgressions.

What awaits all of us is His Amazing Grace.

"'Your sins are forgiven .'"  Luke 7:48 (NRSV)

"'Go in Peace.'"  Luke 7:50 (NRSV)

And he who is forgiven more will love more.  (Luke 7:42,43)

This is wondrous in our eyes.

Twice Hell!

"'For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.'"  Matthew 23:15 (NRSV) 

This describes perfectly the unholy alliance between the Religious Right and Generation X.

Darkness.

The evil that curses our world is hidden.

Darkness hides it.

And misinformation makes us blind.

The evil propagated by Generation X in league with Satanists in the music and entertainment industries and covered up by corporate media moguls lurks in the shadows of the zeitgeist.

They lie to themselves.

And they lie to us all.

They claim that they are agents of good whitewashed as they are by the Religious Right.

But their philosophy is evil:

Violence, materialism, egoism, hypocrisy, judgement, vice, and hate.....

They scapegoat Hippies and gays.

They are racist, ignorant, and merciless.

They call themselves bad.

And they delight in pure evil.

But no one seems to care.

They get away with murder.

And they profit from their crimes.

But their time is up.

A new generation of Millennials is rising.

They are politically aware.

And they are more sensible than their predecessors.

There is a light shining in the darkness:

Non-violence, mercy, peace, justice, and love.....

Perhaps now we will see X for what it is:

An evil and ignorant manifestation of hate.

The Law.

If we look at the Ten Commandments they only proscribe things that are harmful to others.

So perhaps rather than ascribing moral authority to the Law we should look at what is harmful to others and what is not.

The only reference to sex is adultery which is harmful to the marriage partner in particular.

There is no prohibition on masturbation.

And the references to homosexuality are part of a long list of things which are questionable in the Law.

Homosexuality is harmful to no one.

So we should not include homosexual sex among those things which God proscribes.

Incest, rape, pedophilia, and violence are all harmful to others.

It is these things that God proscribes.

Love and Hate.

God is Love.

But many Fundamentalist Christians will tell you that hate is a Biblical imperative.

This is based on verses in the Psalms where David says he (and God) hate sin.

Whether this was intended to justify hate is debatable.

But hate is the dark side.

It is the domain of the devil.

It is not part of God at all.

God is wholly good.

He is merciful and forgiving.

And His nature is Love.

Condemnation.

If God does not punish us or judge us where does the Church's message of Condemnation come from?

The origin of theses ideas is in fear.

Fear of transgression.

Fear of punishment.

And they project their experience of authority figures onto God.

But this plays into the hands of the ruling elite which uses the carrot and stick approach to control the masses.

A dim view of humanity feeds their desire to control sin.

They believe that the threat of hell is necessary to make humanity behave.

But this approach does not work.  

Fear begets fear.

And it is fear that inhibits love.

So in fact they are preventing humankind from obeying God.

For God is Love.

And it is love that will save us.
