The New Age.

After 2000 years of the Age of Pisces we are now entering the Age of Aquarius.

This New Age will see a new religious paradigm.

It will be based on human values.

And it will be international and interfaith.

The Christian component of this New Paradigm will reflect the human nature of Jesus.

His inclusive humanity.

And his human faith.

God will be seen as merciful, forgiving, compassionate, and loyal.

A loving Father to all humanity.

The attitude to sex in general and homosexuality in particular will be more liberal.

Moderation will replace self-denial in relation to pleasure.

And non-violence will replace aggression in relation to conflict.

Unconditional love will replace conditional love.

And mercy will replace judgement.

In fact humanity may be ready to see the reality that God judges no one but loves and redeems even the most evil of sinners.

We may see the end of duality - the knowledge of good and evil.

And see a transcendent God - beyond sin and evil - who is wholly good, all light, and ever-loving.

This God is Love.

A Greater Power.

There is a greater power in our world than the corporate plutocrats who control our employment.

And that is the Living God.

The creator and sustainer of the whole universe.

If you put your faith in Him you will be free of the fear and intimidation that the plutocrats impose.

We all have to eat.

God will feed you.

We all have to work.

Work for God.

God will provide.

There will always be enough.

Put your faith in Him.

Turning World.

Time.

Since the 1980s when the conservative capitalist conglomerate turned the zeitgeist to the right and the anti-gay religious lobby ruled we have seen inequality and intolerance increase.

But with the emergence of the Religious Left and the education of young people the spirit of the age is beginning to turn.

The gay scapegoat, so popular with the Fundamentalists, is no longer valid.  83% of people under 24 supported gay marriage in Australia.

And when asked about gay marriage 100% of participants in a Progressive Christian conference were in favor.

So things are beginning to change.

Young people in the U.S. are beginning to become politically active, particularly in relation to gun control.

And most of them are Democrats.

This is the beginning of change.

The backlash against the Fascism of Donald Trump is greater than his manifesto.

And a left-wing Pope will change history.

The return of the religious question will change everything.

Mercy, compassion, peace, love.....

These things will change the world.

And gay people will be free at last.

Gay.

Imagine what it would be like to be told that you are excluded from God's Love.

And not only that but that God hates you.

Imagine how that would make you feel.

This is exactly what young gay and lesbian people are being told.

Is it any wonder that most of them say they don't believe in God.

Better no God at all than a God who is like that.

Some may even turn to Satan out of desperation.

Satan may seem reasonable compared to such a God.

But fortunately this is not true.

God loves gays and lesbians.

They are His gay sons and daughters.

But unfortunately they never hear this message.

The media is saturated with the most extreme views.

Especially regarding homosexuality.

So tell your gay friends and relatives that God loves them.

They are not excluded from the Kingdom of God.

And they will be accepted into Heaven when they die.

Gay Scapegoat.

The attempts by some high ranking Cardinals in the Catholic Church to blame homosexuals for the child sexual abuse scandals is yet another example of the Church's seemingly endless capacity to avoid responsibility for what has taken place in its own organization.

Some have called for homosexuals to be banned from ordination.

As if this would somehow solve the problem and absolve them of guilt.

How they could blame homosexuals for the sex-slavery of nuns I don't know.

Homosexuality is not pedophilia.

Sex between two consenting adults bears no resemblance to the abuse of minors.

The Catholic Church seems hellbent on avoiding the question of sexual repression caused by celibacy.

The only way to overcome sexual abuse by clergy is to change the Churches' teachings on sex.

A healthy, positive attitude to our human sexuality is the only answer.

So instead of avoiding the issues and looking for a scapegoat the Churches should look to their own abusive teachings and doctrines.

Only then will the abuse stop,

CCTV.

Have you noticed the closed circuit television cameras everywhere?

There are T.V. shows dedicated to spying on people with CCTV.

Inevitably they are caught cheating or breaking the law.

Does this remind you of anything?

It reminds me of George Orwell's classic novel 1984.

Everyone is under surveillance to keep them in line.

Our corporate masters have appropriated this aspect of the novel in order to keep us in line.

And many other aspects of this paranoid nightmare have been adopted by plutocrats and politicians like: Double Speak. Black/White, New Speak, The Ministry of Truth.....

They also use abbreviations all the time.

All of these things come from the pages of 1984.

CCTV is just one of them.

Search.

And the end of all our searching will be to find the love in our own hearts.

And to pour out our love to God and to all humanity.
