Rock Music.

Rock music is an evil influence.

It's intention is subtle sabotage and selling sin.

The result they desire is death to God which leads to damnation and hell.

But it is cleverly disguised as glamour and freedom.

And it's evil is concealed by darkness.

They sell their souls and sell you down the river.

They play you for suckers and rip you off.

They are Dogs and Divas.

Gods backwards and blasphemous harlots.

It blackens your moods and poisons your mind.

Leave it behind.

The Light.

Light, life, love, white, doves, dawn, day, virtue, non-violence, peace, joy, goodness.....

These are the things that lead to Heaven.

They already exist in sacred writings and scripture.

And in hymns and sacred music.

"The Waters of Life", "The Bread of Life", "The Gates of Day", "the heartbeats of our love", "The Lamb", "And give us victory o'er the grave", "As the darkness clears away", "The Breath of Life", "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it".....

These are the words that lead to God.

And God is the Light of the Universe.

Death.

Darkness, night, death, black, skulls, graves, snakes, spiders, webs, flames, horns, vice, sin ,evil.....

All these things flood our popular culture.

From Satanic rock music to literature to movies, T.V., and the Internet.

But far from being harmless these things are deliberate acts of evil designed to lead you to hell.

The death they push is the death to God of St. Paul which is the result of sin and leads to damnation and hell.

"I buried Paul", "The Dark Side of the Moon", "And in the Death....", "Hello darkness my old friend", "The day the music died", "Lowdown", "they could not kill the Beast". "Beauty and the Beast", "Bad", "The Killers", "Death Metal", "The Week'nd", "Midnights", and many more.....

Rock music is full of death and darkness.

And that's not to mention the books and movies.

So be aware.

And beware!

We are being betrayed.

Redemption.

Unfortunately I don't believe that all humanity is condemned for the sin of Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve is a convenient myth manufactured to explain our suffering.

Fear and ignorance are sufficient causes for me.

Therefore I don't believe that Jesus' death on the cross is payment for our sins and that he is the only one who can put right this broken relationship with God.

The Eastern religious tradition that we are in darkness and that enlightenment will end our suffering is more in keeping with my belief that fear and ignorance are the causes of our suffering in this world.

But I do believe that Jesus is the Messiah - the Light of the World.

By which I mean that were we to follow the teachings of Jesus the world would be saved.

Blasphemy!

The ploy of the corporate plutocrats to portray themselves as holy is just the other end of the conservative practice of demonizing their enemies.

They are evil; We are good.

They are playing God.

It is a lie.

It is corrupt.

And it is blasphemy.

The Corporations.

The rich corporate plutocrats who think they rule our world have usurped absolute power with the blessing of Fundamentalist religious leaders.

Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches in the West have endorsed the authority of our corporate employers.

And the corporations have started using religious language like mission statements and forgiving debt in order to paint themselves as somehow holy.  

But nothing could be further from the truth.

The corporate plutocrats are the powers of this world - the heads of the way of the world which Jesus called evil.

And they are the authors of a conservative plot to subjugate humanity.

So don't listen when they invoke pseudo-religious language and threaten and scare you.

They do not have the right to do so.

Pure in Heart.

When the prostitute anointed Jesus (Luke Ch. 7) he said: "Your sins are forgiven."; "she has shown great love."

So perhaps those we call sinners in the body may in fact be pure in heart.

Sports.

The media obsession with sports is designed to distract you from any attempts to bring about change.

The powers of this world have a vested interest in the status-quo.

In fact they actively work to make injustice and inequality worse.

And they use the sports media they own to make you "work harder".

This hides all manor of corruption.

For too long we have been turning a blind eye to corruption in our financial systems.

Corporations knowingly exploit cheap labor and even slave labor in our world.

So turn off the sports.

 

And support shareholder activism.

Back the government's Anti-Corruption Commission.

And support the United Nations.

Same-Sex Unions.

Pope Francis has announced that Catholic Priests can bless Same-Sex couples.

This is a major shift in the policy of the Catholic Church towards gay people.

In a statement released today it was stated that couples did not have to be 'morally perfect' to receive a blessing.

Previously the Catholic Church had refused to bless Same-Sex couples on the grounds that God could not bless sin.

But I know that I have God's blessing as a gay man.

And so homosexuality cannot be a sin.

God loves me as a sexually active gay man.

There is no condemnation.

And no sin.

So do not believe those who say that homosexuality is sinful and God hates you.

It is not true.  

God loves you.

And He will welcome you in Heaven when you die.

Mindfulness.

"When you are walking, know that you are walking."

This is the Buddhist practise of Mindfulness.

Mindfulness allows you to be conscious of what you are doing.

Not just on automatic pilot reacting to everything unconsciously.

It is a close relative of the Yoga practise of Self-Study.

To understand yourself and why you do what you do.

"When you are walking, know that you are walking."

One God.

There is One God - the author of all the world's religions.

But just as there are human errors in Christianity there are also errors in other religions.

And so, just as we must read our own scriptures through the filter of reason and science and edit them to remove all violence and fear, so must we revise all the world's sacred writings in order to find the gold at their heart.

Jesus shows us God's Mercy and Forgiveness.

The Buddha shows us God's Compassion.

Krishna shows us God's Light.

Mohammed's God is the Compassionate. the Merciful.

Confucius recommends Duty, Respect, and Harmony.

But the gold at the heart of all the world's religions is God's Love for all humanity.

And so we must lay down the sword and temper our beliefs in order to live in harmony with our neighbors.

'Til in our hearts we know the truth

 that in God's Love we breathe and move.

Gentle Light.

God's Light is not the glorious radiance of legend.

God's Light is gentle.

A pearly-white light.

Not the fiery yellow light of our Sun.

This reflects the gentle, non-violent nature of the Divinity.

And it enables us to see in the darkness.

To see the evil that surrounds us which is generated by fear.

But also to see the true nature of God.

The transcendent, sublime entity that rules our universe and more.

God does not use violence or force

God gently leads us to enlightenment.

And the truths that His Light reveals are simple and self-evident.

Homophobia.

Homophobia is fear.

Fear of AIDS which is fear of disease and death.

The prejudice and hostility that gay people experience in society is the result of this fear.

And if we appeal to the Church for help we encounter the fear of immorality which is fear of evil and fear of God's judgement.

And so we experience accusations of demonic possession and damnation in God's name. 

We are told that we are sentenced to torture in hell forever.

Conversion Therapy is driven by this fear.

But God does not discriminate.

He loves His gay children as He loves others.

And if we appeal to God in prayer He will deliver us.

There is no fear in God.

Only Love.

Life.

Our education teaches us that our world is mechanical.

God may be real but He is far away.

Our experiences teach us fear.

And fear buries the soul beneath ramparts of defense.

All this takes place before we become conscious of ourselves and the world around us.

And so we identify with the fortress we have constructed to defend ourselves.

Cynicism, resentment, anger, and hate rule our lives.

Until we find love.

Love reconnects us with our soul.

For it is from this Divine Spark that love originates.

But when our love is rejected we become self-destructive.

And this suffering can intensify our negativity.

    

But when we follow Jesus' instruction to love God and love our neighbor we find love in our own hearts.

And we find that our love is requited.

Then we begin to see God all around us.

The life of the plants and trees.

The life of animals and birds.

The life in the seas.

The Divine Spark in all living beings.

The gentle wind.

The warmth of the Sun.

The vast expanse of the night sky.

And we are Home.

Beast.

On the AFL website while commentators were discussing the Draft there was writing on the wall behind them, it said:

BEAST - Passion, Desire.

This had nothing to do with what they were discussing until one of them described a potential player as a Beast.

And some commentators have also begun using the term.

It is intended as praise not criticism.   

This is just one more piece of evidence that there is devil-worship in the AFL.

Evil.

When I went to .lunch at a local cafe I noticed that there were lots of toys there for children:

Dinosaurs, machine-men, monsters, devils.....

And on the wall was a huge black spider with its claws around Father Christmas, presumably torturing him.

Frank, the proprietor, is a member of Generation X who have planets in Scorpio.

It would seem that his generation have a sinister fascination with anything scary or evil.

And they torment and torture the good.

They describe themselves as the generation from hell.

If Father Christmas is God then the huge black spider is the devil.

And so their god is the devil.

And their power is evil.

But there is a higher power than the devil.

There is a God.

And God is Good.

Cry out to God!

He will deliver you.

All the Wrong Things.

Rock stars will tell you to do all the wrong things.

And you will suffer for it!

Black Narcissus.

All in black.

Mired in darkness.

Unaware.

Night-blind.

Ego-centric.

Narcissistic.

X.

Not only are they all talk.

But they make themselves feel superior by criticizing and judging everyone else.

And when challenged.

They reverse the charges.

They accuse you of what they are doing themselves.

Homosexuality.

As we enter the Age of Aquarius the major issue to arise is homosexuality.

After AIDS fear and hatred fed prejudice and stereotypes and triggered violence and persecution of gay people.

And homosexuality became a modern scapegoat.

Gays were blamed for everything from moral decline to economic downturn.

We were told that God hated us and that we were damned to hell.

But God does not discriminate.

He loves His gay children as He loves all His children.

The violence and hostility of human beings is driven by fear.

And so, now that AIDS is virtually cured, the fear of disease and death is no longer valid.

And the fortunes of gay people will begin to improve.
