Ch. 12. Radical Priest :- "It's 10 pm, Do You Know Where Your Space Is?"

You’ve wandered around on earth for long enough to develop a few questions.

You set out to find answers.

What’s the best you can hope for, and what is it that you want?

Well I’m guessing that at the core of your existence lies the age old question aching in your heart,

“Who am I ?”

Then the second most popular self afflicted trauma,

“WHY, am I ?”

Soon after, or hand in hand are questions like,

“What does it all mean?”

“What is love?” and

“Where is my soulmate?”

These are all very subjective motives but generally result in looking outside of oneself for answers, though in reality, they are within; and despite the fact that the asker is generally immature in the first place, he or she begins to ask questions when the entity hasn’t even had a chance to ‘get a clue’.

I’m going to use the word he from now on because it’s just easier to do, and also because though women go through similar self awareness issues, they are generally more in touch with themselves it would seem; and since I’m not a woman, I can only actually speak from the vantage of a male anyway.

( If you’re a woman and resent this, then it’s a pity, but I continue in this chapter to describe this very type of conjecture as unimportant and irrelevant to this or any other story. At best I use the words ‘he’ and ‘man’ as catchall titles for humanity, mankind, humankind, persons, people, civilization, society, and if you would prefer I use this entire train of words instead of ‘he’, I ask that you do your best to look beyond this, forgive my literary shortcomings and pay attention to the conversation instead of the sticking points.)

At the ripe old age of 18 or 20,

“What he is,”

hasn’t even had a chance to sprout.

“Why he is”

doesn’t exist yet, and

a question like

“What does it all mean ?”,

is relative, while

“ What is love?”

STILL hasn’t been fully answered,

and

“ Where is my soulmate?”

just doesn’t exist, or may as well not, since it’s pursuit is futile, it’s existence doubtful and it’s fruition a mere matter of blind faith, crossed karma and the finger of God. I say finger because it only takes a poke of mysterious force to cause things like ‘soulmates’ to find each other and God therefore doesn’t even need to flex his entire hand to make it happen – if at all.

But again, I suggest that the seeker is just jumping the gun by tackling issues that he may never find answers for, nor will he find what he’s really looking for in or during the pursuit of these answers for virtually his entire life. I say virtually because there is a chance that he may stumble upon himself in the process of looking at something else and slide into a new realm of realization while pursuing an other.

Either way, a young person with questions like these is more likely to get lost than found, and makes an easy prey for pretty much every charlatan, cult, salesman and guru under the sun.

Ah, we were all so trusting in those days of green,

and some of us were SO green that not only could we be spotted from the other side of the block, but I daresay some must have even glowed in the dark like luminescent light switches. We were too young to realize that we were walking targets, veritable life sources for any number of psychic leeches and maggots that seek out eager young zealots and feed on them, sometimes for life.

Was it Oscar Wilde who said,

“ Youth is wasted on the young” ?

It doesn’t matter who said it anyway, just dig the words, get the message and try to learn something from it, maybe draw a parallel, initiate another thought; use it as a springboard to a further (ongoing) realization.

But this very statement brings me to one of my main points.

If it matters to anyone who said “Youth is wasted on the young”

then you’re going to spend more time than it’s worth jumping out of your seat flailing your hand around in the air interjecting with the name of the person whom you believe really did say it, and either; get stuck in an argument with another who claims is was someone else, get a dose of self inflation and maybe more pride or arrogance than you or the point deserve, or, at worst, get into a fist fight with someone who is equally adamant that the statement was made by a person they claim; and either way; more time will be wasted on ego conflict than the issue deserves. Also, the conversation will have been thereby turned into a testosterone conflict, an ego contest, a power play, or a pointless competition and the thought train in question will have been completely diffused and lost in the melee of inter personal buttinskititus.

This interjective technique is, of course well known among politicians and lawyers who make a point of deliberately confusing and distracting an issue by throwing irrelevant unimportant argumentation into a conversation; which is consciously designed to lead the listener into the land of pointless and meaningless conflict, and thereby distract the focus away from the statement and make the distraction the topic.

The point is of course that these interjections don’t serve a whole lot more purpose than self aggrandizement or unnecessary nit picking, and an adult mind will at best graciously overlook an unimportant faux pas in a statement and continue following the conversation with the bigger more pertinent end in mind, while the adolescent mind will complain, argue, correct, interject, distract, and interrupt and ultimately serve no practical purpose at all, create no useful by product, and destroy the conversational flow because they just couldn’t let it go.

Oh I know that these wise guys just can’t help themselves, and don’t hesitate for one second to correct you and toss their two cents into the ring. They have to make it known that THEY are right, and that YOU are wrong, “so there!”. Insecure people just can’t sit still if they think you’ve said something incorrectly and will not rest until THEY have inflicted themselves into the conversation and made their unimportant point. Buttinski’s of course make it their life’s work to run around poking their noses into everything that’s going on to make sure that it’s all meeting their exacting standards of correctness and perfection, while in fact concealing their own inadequacies, fallibilities and ineptitudes by disguising themselves as ‘know it alls’.

Some people make it their life’s work to pedantically adhere to and enforce total correct compliance to facts and occupy their entire lives being wise guys, any, and everywhere they can; ingratiating themselves on the self impressive notion that they have a purpose on earth as correct police, and you’ll find them butting into conversations setting everyone straight where ever they find cause.

To these people I say,

“Get a LIFE !”

You suck the flow out of concepts and spit them out as a by product of a lost and bored ego.

You also miss the point entirely, and are unable in the slightest to share ideas with anyone who isn’t an encyclopedia of exactness as prescribed by YOU.

Either way, if you think that it matters; you’re missing the point entirely.

Oh, and by the way;

It DOESN’T !

This however brings me to another plateau, and helps to illustrate a point that I’ve been preparing to address for almost this entire work.

I shall summarize the ingredients to date to refresh the basis of this point.

Mankind crashed out of the jungle with a God or two in the guise of tree, rock, and animal spirit .

He became more sophisticated and eventually created mythology around new perceptions of Gods and Goddesses and these symbols were mankind’s closest integration of ‘heavenly’ powers with known earthly energies. I’m speaking of course about spiritual entities as found in ancient cultures like the Sumerian, Pagan, Egyptian and Greek Mythological versions of ‘religion’.

Into these systems came a series of newer interpretations, compilations and visions attributable to ‘special’ guys who had ‘special’ titles, but broken down to their similar elements, all contained the basic, sophisticated concepts which we use today as spiritual foundations for humanity, and most if not all had been originally formulated as local myths as realized in the earliest versions of myth ever found from the Sumerians in Mesopotamia.

That, is the Readers Digest version.

Religion has unfortunately become a basis for the deaths of millions and millions of people with no justifiable reason other than irrelevant posturing over meaningless adolescent argumentation and competition within a field which has started as one thing and been converted into an entirely different thing than it was initially intended to be, by mere virtue of religious egocentricity.

But that is the nature of man, and of religion.

He has set out to find himself, answer his inner questions and develop an understanding of powers beyond himself but ended up with a sword or a gun in his hand in some battlefield with the sole purpose of murdering his fellow human for irrelevant

‘religious’ reasons.

But that would never have been able to come to pass if the pious of days hadn’t been

‘out to lunch’ with their personal keeper of Wisdom and emissary of ‘the Faith’.

The young person has been influenced in his time of ignorance and hunger for knowledge, and been led by his naiveté and inexperience into a lair of control, manipulation, fantasy and pomposity beyond his capacity to understand nor supersede because of his lack of time and experience on earth.

The bearer of this ploy has represented himself as a benevolent guide, and in his hypnotized state has truly believed that he IS a benevolent guide, but the novice has been deceived from the very start into becoming a cog in a larger ploy which has become known as contemporary religion.

And this initiate will fight to the death over points of fact which in reality don’t mean squat.

“ My God is the ONLY God”

is an entirely relative ego problem, which has nothing what so ever to do with the honourable adherence to spiritual principles.

It’s as lost and off track as soccer fans rioting over a soccer game.

Yet somehow, a person who enjoys a little competitive sportsmanship becomes incensed with bloodlust and hypnotized by;

“ It wasn’t supposed to be a Game !” (remember “Rollerball”?)

How can a soccer fan of one team murder a soccer fan of another team after a game?

Insanity is the only answer, since there is not ONE justifiable reason for any man to murder any other man for any reason let alone because of a game.

A guy who gets murder on his mind at a soccer game is clearly a psychotic maniac, at least to an observer. But to a fellow fan, in the passion of group hysteria and demonic competitive possession these idiots have created destruction, murder and mayhem over a game !!

This is agonizingly clear to opera buffs, musicians and gardeners for instance who have never ONCE in the entire history of the world fought with each other over anything, let alone rioted and destroyed theatres or concert halls, killing people in the process.

One might say that it goes with the territory, and that the unconscious memories of civilization’s accumulated associations with games and sports arenas still carry the scars of Roman gladiatorial entertainment that had death as the central character for amusement.

But how then can I explain the atrocities committed in the name of ‘God’?

Actually, it’s the same principle.

The absurd postulates of greed and egocentric dominance.

Soccer players are better than opera singers.

Not true.

Christians are better than Jews.

Not true.

Muslims are better than Buddhists.

Not true.

Then how on earth do these guys get it into their heads that they are better, and therefore the other must die?

Well. Our young aspirant went to a spiritual guide in a moment of need and bought a bundle of goods that he didn’t need, but was told that he did by the person who sold them to him. It was a highly charged bundle, full of energy, words and fancy illusions, and our eager seeker abandoned his own inner knowledge, bought the whole bundle lock stock and barrel and adopted it as his own in the process. It had some information in it that might have helped him, but he became so engrossed and preoccupied with the long winded fanciful fairytales within that he forgot and lost sight of the original intention. He was looking for himself, and ended up finding someone else. I doing so, this someone else bumped his real self out of the way, and took over. Not everyone is completely vulnerable to this kind of take over. There are plenty of people who have enough accumulated life knowledge to not buy the whole store when all they wanted was a pencil; but still, there are plenty who are such suckers that they will buy the whole store, then go down the street and buy the next one too.

In other words, the simple man, who has reached out to a spiritual guide has not only accessed information that is NOT his, but he has also likely been sucked in so badly that he’ll defend his addiction and ‘cause celebre’ to a point of psychotic absurdity, and belabour endlessly and pointlessly the multitude of variables cited by said spiritual guide as if they are the only words ever spoken by anyone.

It just isn’t true.

All of the words of histories wise men are valuable, and NO one man is wiser or more Godly than any other. Some may find greater affinity with one wise man over another. That’s just fine. It does NOT mean that only ONE is true, and as soon as the argument begins over this fact, the entire premise goes out the door and the object becomes decimation of the others persons beliefs for the sake of retaining superiority in one’s own feeble mind. The wars of religions words are just that; pointless and meaningless arguments which are nothing to do with the meanings of the religions, since the religions are all intended to do the same thing; even though they rarely do because man turns them into power tools instead of learning tools, and exacts wars upon others because of them.

If you think it’s that the words contained in your religion, and the people who supposedly said them, are that important; then you’ve missed the point entirely.

So when a man who goes to war saying he’s doing God’s work, he is, in short, completely off his rocker and so out to lunch that he’s still at breakfast.

As hysterical soccer fans are clearly psychotic to opera buffs,

so too are warring religious zealots clearly psychotic to balanced individuals.

Warring psychotic religious zealots however cannot see outside of their box any more than hysterical soccer fans can, though the observer can see in and remark with pity and compassion for the idiocy they see, yet are not able to stop.

Such is the dilemma of man.

Such is the task we face.

Besides finding ourselves we are consigned with adjusting to a planet full of warring psychotic zealots who are mostly way off track, and entirely out of touch with themselves.

Some of the written words of wisdom are incredibly simple and direct, while others are so complicated that after two or three thousand years, their true meaning is still open to conjecture. Oh that’s just great ! Not only does a seeker end up replacing his own inner communication with that of the hijacker, but he ends up with parables, phrases and text that he can’t even understand.

For a basis of living that’s so dumb, there sure are a lot of people doing it!

Like Zorba said,

“God must really love stupid people,

He made SO many of them!”

Worse than those points is the fact that so many of these religiomatons will adamantly defend, argue and fight over these very issues even though for the most part they don’t even fully understand what they are.

If I could make it easy, and intercept the young seeker and just explain to him / her how and what to do, I would gladly do so for the rest of my days.

Unfortunately, Sunday school, religion in class, family groups and church services intercept the young seeker of self and feed him / her with these complex unintelligible lines of ancient myths long before the youth is even able to assimilate them with any of his own self knowledge, and evaluate them for relative importance.

The regeneration process is in full swing when it comes down to ancient myths, though if I had my druthers I believe that the Greek Gods would make far more interesting and understandable figures than most of the rest in contemporary usage.

That aside, let’s get down to the nitty gritty here.

What’s the best you can hope for.

Besides a long healthy life and world peace.

What’s the best you can hope to find after decades of living and learning.

If you’ve been able to sidestep the hijackers and addictions, you will be able to see more clearly that the popular fixations of money and possessions don’t lead you anywhere except into perpetual debt; a wonderful way of chaining a population to industry and economic gain for the purveyors of goods and controllers of populations.

To avoid this as a raison d’etre is a good start, but there’s GOT to be something more, NO?

Well, yes there is, but it’s not nearly as fancy nor as exciting as a new car.

It’s called inner peace.

When you can wake up and fully enjoy the sound of the birds in the trees, the aroma of the garden, the sound of the breeze whispering in the leaves, the piece of music echoing in your head and the creative adventure you have on your plate for the day;

YOU’RE THERE !

That’s IT !

When you look over in love at your doggies, your spouse and your family and just get warm and fuzzy inside;

THAT’S it !

You aren’t going to ever find anything or anyplace that will be as rewarding and fulfilling as the state of being that I mention. Pretty much everything else is a lesser, shallower, or more complex experience.

Strolling along a deserted beach at one with your past, your future, your present, your Gods and your self; content, at peace, feeling good, whistling or humming a little tune, forgetful of your ego, lost in the moment; you are at the pinnacle of a good life.

Don’t expect anything greater than this.

Your joy, your bliss, your happiness;

all dwell within the peace that you build for yourself; you, the singular entity in a body, the self in control of the self united with his earth.

That is as close to the ‘heaven’ as you’re ever going to get.

Nirvana ? The same.

It’s you.

YOU, happy in a simple peace, rich with the wealth of love, bliss and eternal fulfillment.

It's not some mystical glowing golden cloud way the heck up in space somewhere; overseen by some glowing bearded man wielding a wand or a staff of life;

it’s right here in your hand, as soon as you can drop all of the junk you’re carrying and get real.

If you think that winning the lottery is going to jettison your garbage from your head and propel you magically to the land of fruit and honey, (you poor thing) then you’d better ask the people who DID win the lottery.

If you think owning a huge mansion filled with gorgeous art and surrounded by acres of exotic flowering trees is going to be the answer to your needs; ask the heir to the Gucci legacy, (poor thing)

“I’d rather be miserable in a Rolls, than happy on a bicycle”

I know that most of you have owned an old car at some stage in your lives.

Remember how free you were?

YOU owned the car. You didn’t worry about it. If someone scratched it in a parking lot you kind of shrugged and forgot about it.

Ha! Then you got a new car.

Suddenly the car owned YOU.

You worried constantly.

“Who’s that lurking around my car?”

“That guy better not bump my car”

“Oh Man! Someone SCRATCHED IT!!.... that just ruined my day”

As kids we were completely convinced that as soon as we got a car, our life would be perfect and all of our problems would magically vanish into thin air.

The car would solve everything and love would just magically appear in the passenger’s seat.

Well, we got over that one eventually.

The lesson is still good though, as an illustration of the fallacies that we have had inbred into our psyches by the world around us. No one ever actually TOLD us that a car was the magic carpet to solve all of youth’s problems.

Somehow we just ‘got the message’.

It’s the same with God.

Getting God doesn’t solve any of life’s problems any more than getting a car did.

We just find ourselves with additional new ones.

Pity the seeker who swallows the whole tamale and goes out looking for ‘Heaven on Earth’ or the ‘Kingdom of God’ or whatever.

He (she) is destined for a life of fruitless disappointment.

All that he (she) can ever achieve will never be as good as ‘Heaven’ is supposed to be, and this alone will lead the unsuspecting seeker into a perpetual inadequacy and dissatisfaction with life on earth, and

( God forbid ) a lifetime preparing for and looking forward to day when death takes them to this other ‘better’ place.

Boy!

Talk about living in the future!

“I can hardly till I die so I can go to Heaven”

Give me a break.

“I'm unhappy; I know, I’ll pray more” thinks the eager seeker.

You may have seen them.

Starry eyed, vague, limp, dispassionate, lost in some daydream or other, chanting or mumbling some incoherent line, phrase or mantra or other.

Completely engrossed in a fantasy.

A popular fantasy no doubt, but so is “Star Wars”.

It doesn’t mean that a person can LIVE there;

( except at a Trekkie’s convention of course )

So who told you how to be happy?

No one.

One day, a myriad set of circumstance occurred and there you were;

Happy.

Who told you what food to enjoy?

No one.

There you were eating away and suddenly you realized,

“Hey ! I like this, give me some more of this, (please)”

Who told you what music to like?

No one.

There you were listening to something when voilá!

You were tapping your foot or nodding your head to the beat.

Who ever told you whom to love?

No one.

Strolling down the street one day minding your own business;

Wham!

There it was, all over you like a waterfall.

None of us have ever asked anyone how to do these things I mention, so why on earth would we think that we had to ask someone to tell us who we are, what to believe or how to live and be happy.

The people who want to control us have told us; and we believed them.

Who am I?

“Here, I’ll tell you, (let me just steal your inner voice and replace it with a perpetual doubt which will lead you back to my donation plate throughout Eternity)”

“It’s 10 p.m.; do you know where your space is?”

I look forward to hearing from you.
Peace Out,

NIXON never thought he'd be caught either!"

Ch. 11. Radical Priest :- "Who Did You Ask Before You Fell In Love ?"

We have all done it.

Strolling down the street one day, minding our own business, when right out of nowhere;

WHAM !!

Smack up the side of your head like a brick;

BOOM, run you down as if by a cement truck;

ZAP, hit by a lightening bolt !

LOVE !

How did that happen??!!

How did you know how to do that?

Did anyone ever take you aside and explain it to you?

Did you ever go somewhere and listen to someone explaining this Love thing to you ?

Oh we’ve all talked about it after the fact,

In painstaking detail, over and over.

We’ve asked our friends , our neighbours, our family, our local church leader,

our counselor, our teacher.

We’ve sent letters to Dear Del, and Dear Abbey and we’ve gone on and on and on;

ESPECIALLY when it got out of hand; when it turned painful and confusing, but of course by then we were deep into the other side of love and that’s another story.

Right now I’m talking about how we fell in love in the first place.

It happened. We didn’t ask for it, expect it or prepare for it.

It happened,

somehow, we all just knew how to do it; fall in love,

Like “… school buys running from their books “ as Shakespeare said.

As wide open spirits in bodies love caught us entirely by surprise but we knew how to do it immediately.

Within seconds we were on the ride and soaring through space.

HOW ??

It is inherent within us.

It comes as naturally as breathing.

Intuitively we just get it, spiritually we just gravitate towards it,

Intellectually, well, intellectually we don’t even deal with it, until later,

when we try to figure it out.

Our spirit already knows how to fall in love.

Our spirit will do it on a whim, repeatedly during our lifetimes,

and it will happen, over and over.

As we grow older we may start to recognize the symptoms at the onset of the love bug and talk ourselves out of it, but again, that’s further down the road.

Within our bodies lives the life force that is our spirit.

Some cultures call it the soul, most religions refer to it;

but in it’s simplest form, it is the essence, the life force, that is, our single individual self.

It has most likely been around for some time and learned a thing or two over the ages and has taken residence in our body at birth; this time,

as it has done so many times before in most cases, to greater or lesser degrees.

When a soul like Mozart incarnates and produces full symphonies at age five, it becomes very clear that this is in fact so, since no five year old could do such a thing from the working components of a mere five year old mind.

Some people have been here since Atlantis, others just landed last week.

Some people are still

“Out to lunch”.

Those of us who have a deeper sense of global responsibility have most likely been here for a while, and conversely those who don’t give a hoot about anything except themselves, probably just don’t have a clue what planet they’re even on.

Some of us have memories of other planets, since the soul / spirit isn’t consigned to this solar system entirely, and there are times when things don’t work here on earth because we may have been using information from lifetimes on different planets; which doesn’t work here.

“ Hello, earth calling “

Have you ever said that to someone who was ’spaced out ‘ ?

What do you think that means ?

Or maybe you’ve said,

“ Ooops, I was out in the ozone “

We say these things for a reason. They’ve become contemporary sayings which describe the very ‘other universe’ concept I’m describing.

Love it would seem is an intergalactic experience, because we all seem to have this information.

Isn’t that GREAT ??!!

We incarnate, we take a body, and bingo, we already have the love ‘gene’.

The knowledge of how to do it is bred into our consciousness from so far back that the manifestations and symptoms, thoughts and feelings automatically kick into gear at the first prompting of a look, a smell, a giggle or jiggle; an image, a whim, a dream or a piece of music. A face, a glance.

A nod, a wink, a hello.

It’s an inherent knowledge that we don’t ever have to learn about to be able to do.

Funny thing is;

so is the rest of our knowledge.

We already know how to live as well as love.

We already have our answers.

All we have to do is ask ourselves;

“ Self, what do you say?”

Women call it their ‘intuition’.

Women communicate with ‘it’ all the time.

Women seem to have a ‘second sense’ about things; funny huh?

Don’t ask her how to explain it, she can’t.

It’s just something she ‘knows’.

The same goes for men, but of course we DON’T listen to our inner voice.

Now I know that at least once in your life you’ve said,

“ Man !! I knew that was going to happen !”

“ Man!! Something told me not to do that but I did it anyway, and NOW look”

HELLO-o-o-o,

That was your intuition calling, you didn’t pick up the phone.

That inner voice is your inner self. Easy huh?!

Just like that. All you have to do is learn to listen.

“ IF ONLY, I’d listened…..!!”

You’ve said that too, I know you have.

It’s referred to as ‘your gut feeling’ sometimes, but it has very little to do with your guts actually, since the actual intestines are not sentient in any way about these types of things. The intestinal region is actually your third chakra and is the power base of your will, which is also not any place for intuitive forces to emanate from.

The chakra below that is the sentient chakra, number two, and in actuality, should a person be ‘sensing’ anything ‘down there’ it would be in that region, below your gut.

So I personally don’t say ‘gut feeling’ for two reasons.

Firstly, it invalidates my intuitive capabilities to misname them and misplace them, and,

Secondly, I attempt to read these energies from my sixth chakra, in my mind, from whence the intellect is more able to interpret the form rather than moving consciousness down to a different location where it is less able to function or ‘read’ the situation.

“Wait a minute; let me get a read on this for a second”

You’ve likely said that as you’ve contemplated a situation and pondered your next move.

THAT’S what it means. You’re reviewing the information that’s ‘lighting up’ as the situation draws it’s effect upon you and your inner self / knowledge, responds.

If you’ve become adept at listening to yourself, you’ll come up with good answers, and your information will be evident by the success of your decisions, whereas likewise, your being out of touch with yourself will lead you into applied, superimposed answers which will, naturally enough, lead you into trouble.

When you think you know better, you usually don’t.

When you find yourself saying later on,

“ Man !! I knew I shouldn’t have said that !!”

It was your intuition / inner self / inner voice telling you not to,

and your ego that said it anyway.

Doesn’t that suck !

Imagine, you know the answer already, but instead you do the opposite.

What the Hell is going on ?!

You’re thinking of someone, then the phone rings;

“ I knew that was you ! “

HOW ??

Your inner voice told you and given that you had no particular energy or trip on it you were able to hear it when it / you, told you who it was calling.

It’s not an uncommon thing.

We may have found ourselves concentrating on someone trying to get them to call.

It could happen.

Sometimes it works; the phone rings,

“Are you okay?!”

“Yea, sure, but I wanted you to call and here’s why….”

Some people are better at it than others; some people can’t do it at all.

What happens? Why can’t some people hear their own inner voice?

Simple.

Invalidation.

If you’ve spent too much time around people who tell you what to do,

you’ll never learn what YOU want to do.

If these same people keep implying that you don’t know what you want, then after a while, you won’t.

If these same people keep telling WHAT to do, then you’ll run to them to tell you what to do at every juncture, and if they aren’t around, you’ll do it anyway, energetically, and seek your answers from them long distance, and continue ignoring your own information as you’ve done repeatedly. With that the self invalidation program just keeps on doing it’s job in the absence of the initial programmers.

It’s a great way to control someone. You teach them not to listen to themselves, then tell them what you want them to hear.

“If you keep doing that you’ll go blind”

“If you keep making that face one day it will stay that way”

“If you do that you’ll fall and break your leg”

“If you don’t go to bed the boogie man will come get you”

“WHAT ??!! You’re crazy ! You don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“You have NO idea what you’re saying”

Sound familiar ?

Welcome to invalidation in your lifetime.

From our earliest years our parents have inadvertently invalidated our ability to have our own answers.

Of course we didn’t go blind from rubbing our eye.

Of course we didn’t end up with a twisted distorted face from scrunching it up like a pug.

Of course we didn’t fall and break your leg from bouncing on the bed.

Of course the boogie man didn’t get you because you stayed up too late.

Of course it turned out you weren’t crazy.

Of course you WERE right in what you were saying; as was proven later.

Our peers; those cruel nasty kids in school, have done equal damage to our inner communication with similar competitive slurs, defacing and undermining our confidence, concentration, self image and inner communication.

In our eagerness to belong, to be accepted in our peer group, we’ve complied and chameleonized ourselves, sometimes to a point of total self annihilation and the ultimate total loss of inner communication. This means more than just not hearing your intuitive voice talking to you when the phone rings.

It can go as far as becoming completely out of touch with yourself, and ultimately going mad, alcoholic, drug addicted, reckless or suicidal.

It can also lead one to go running somewhere for guidance and comfort, help and solace.

We’ll go to everyone we know,

“Who am I ?”

“Oh, you’re this………” say your parents

“Oh, you’re this………” say your friends

“NO, you’re this…… ” say your teachers

Welcome to adolescence.

The symptom I’m describing is known as ‘soul searching’

I did it, you did it. It’s a necessary part of growing up.

Problem is, we get everyone else’s answers instead of our own.

Parents are especially good at leading us astray, because of the bond and the trust that we share with them, and unfortunately that isn’t such a good thing all the time.

For the most part I’ll say that parents never mean to do any harm, they’re just doing what they think is right; even though for the majority of cases they end up doing everything that isn’t.

“I hate being a lawyer”

“Well, why are you a lawyer then?”

“Oh my Dad’s a lawyer and he wanted me to be one”

“Why are you in the beauty pageant?”

“My Mom wanted me to be”

“I hate war but I come from a long family history of military service;

my father was in the army, as was his father, and his father, and his father before him fought at Gettysburg”

Now there’s a group agreement for you.

Junior is probably running his great great grandfathers energy, all in the name of family tradition.

Acceptance and competition.

Two of the deadliest games we could ever want to accidentally fall into out of ignorance.

We can be led astray, and have been, we can be disoriented, and have been,

and we can become lost, confused, out of touch, desperate; and eager for acceptance, as well as answers. We can and have sought these answers from, needless to say, all of the wrong places.

Our parents just wanted to do what was right for us; yet so much of the time, it wasn’t.

Our peers just wanted to mess around with us and make us fall off of our game so they could take over.

Our teachers wanted us to learn the lessons they were teaching, but unfortunately they weren’t always the lessons we wanted or needed to learn.

Then life took over.

We looked for our answers in outwardly fruitful sources like movies, or cars, stuff, money, power, or all of the above.

And needless to say; they didn’t work either.

It turns out we have been fed a full time diet of lies.

We have become, as a result of so many lies, good intentions and misguided interference; a culture that habitually looks outside of ourselves for our answers, our identity, and our purpose.

We are encouraged to believe that

“If you don’t become a doctor you will never be good at anything”

“If you don’t make this play you will never be accepted by the team again”

“If you don’t learn these lessons you’ll never succeed at anything”

And finally,

“If you don’t buy this car you’ll never be happy”

HA! So you bought the car. Then you realized you still weren’t happy!

What’s wrong?

Worse yet,

“What’s wrong with me?!

The salesman said I’d be happy if I bought this $50,000 car but I’m not !

I did all of the things I was told to do to be happy; it must be ME;

something’s got to be wrong with me !”

Now there’s a recipe for despair if I ever saw one.

The placebos of contemporary society as espoused by the media, Hollywood, our peers, the economy, Madison Avenue and unconscious cultural morays have failed to anaesthetize the mind and the spirit is revolting.

And the tragedy of this scenario is that at ‘his’ finest moment, when the spirit may just break out and liberate the entrapped person; he doubts himself again, and goes running for a pro for his answers to,

“What does it all mean?”

“What is life all about?”

“Who am I?”

Where does he go?

The local church.

Now that doesn’t necessarily mean that this agonizing person can’t be helped by any given church or religious belief, it’s just that in this incredibly vulnerable state, the consumer of all that’s wrong for him, will not only clutch to the teachings like a drowning person clamoring for a life jacket during the sinking of the Titanic, but he will also swallow the whole tamale lock stock and barrel, and instead of looking to where the finger is pointing, he will become enchanted and mesmerized by the rings on the pointers finger and miss the point altogether.

In his moment of dour need, the drowning man will buy another bogus set of goods as he searches for HIS answers and ends up with someone else’s.

And there you have the state of the world.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 10. Radical Priest Names Your Unwanted House Guests

As spirits wandering the earth, we have learned to exist, survive and worship in the time proven tradition of trial and error.

Our progress in all fields of existence has been catch as catch can and fraught with experimentation, failure and wasted effort.

It is the way of man.

Yet somehow, for the first and only time in our entire history, GOD himself, supposedly appeared to Moses bearing two carved stone plaques.

Now it would seem to me, that GOD has had plenty of opportunity since then to deliver mysterious messages in stone to any number of recipients whom he deemed worthy; but HE hasn’t.

Since there is NO archeological verification of the huge numbers of ‘Israelites’ who supposedly lived in the desert for 40 years, and no stone plaques, we have nothing to confirm any of this, but it makes a good story, and an obviously suitable enough premise upon which to base religious belief. It goes without saying that a certain amount of faith in the messenger comes into play here, and I won’t belabour the question of whether Moses actually was given the 10 commandments or not, since that really doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things. The postulates presented were useful enough, but may have been delivered by aliens for all it matters, and I’ll explain why.

The messages included in the stone plaques were presented by whatever means,

for the supposed benefit of mankind.

The messages are what matters; NOT the bearer or the deliverer.

The source is unprovable but the message is useful.

The world around the Mediterranean at that time was eventually changed forever because of this message, but that was mankind’s work, NOT this supposed GOD, who mysteriously made a cameo appearance and then vanished forever?!

Now if we were talking of an entire manuscript, composed and fabricated from unknown material which was delivered in front of 40,000 people while the sky’s were lit with aurora borealis, flocks of doves and angels while flowers were falling from the clouds;

THAT would be a miracle.

But it wasn’t.

An old guy wandered off sneaking into the hills and singularly returned with a pair of stone plaques which could have been carved by anyone on earth.

IF it had been GOD, don’t you think he’d have picked a lighter material, like wood, seeing as how the carrier was going to have to lug these things around?

In any case, that still doesn’t matter, because the message is what we had presented to us as GOD’s word. The people of the day expounded upon that and we had another religion in the region in no time. There were religions enough, but we ended up with another.

A new one.

A special one for the specific groups of people who were witness to the time.

This religion was received by a population which was in essence, young, uneducated, illiterate, fearful, superstitious, gullible, and wide open for manipulation.

Such an impressive array of happenings which followed secured this religion a place in man’s world for all time, and has remained the main focus of many up to this very day.

That isn’t necessarily a good thing.

At best it offers a population of people some guidance and consolation during difficult times, at worst it dominates their thinking and robs them of their individuality.

It seems however a bit hypocritical for a religion which touts itself as being directly brought to a town near you by the ONE and ONLY son of the ONE and ONLY God, to preach forgiveness and peace on one hand and then in the same breath dictate that those who believe otherwise deserve to be stoned to death??!!

THAT is man talking.

NOT GOD,

Man.

King Constantine took the opportunity to dress his Christian soldiers and send them out to kill all heathens; and they’re still out.

This premise needs to be disbanded.

And what the hell is Israel doing?!

It makes NO sense at all for any nation to be waging war on any other, during the week,

and then go rushing off to their houses of worship on their respective days and preach exactly the opposite, only to turn around and don their military minds the next day and go back to the bloodshed.

Give me a BREAK !!

So what happened?

We have rational, intelligent, informed adults regularly, and consistently living out the most heinous hypocrisy ever conceived. And with airs or righteousness to boot !

Something is seriously wrong with this picture, because I know that the human entity is basically a benevolent creature. ‘He’ would not go out raping, pillaging, and burning by nature, trust me I know this.

Of all of the ‘men’ I know, each of them would rather put their feet up and watch the game than pick up a gun and go to the frontlines.

ESPECIALLY, on Monday, after going to praise their God the day before.

When an initiate first calls out to a God, God head, or God figure he basically opens up his seventh chakra and invites the guru energy in. The guru energy takes over. It’s a simple as that.

The condition is generally fatal.

The hungrier the seeker is, the more ’he’ eats of the fruits of his ‘ God’ and the more out of touch he becomes.

This may not be apparent in the early stages of indoctrination, and for the most part isn’t particularly evident the rest of the time either.

A person only looks for outside help when they have a break in their internal communication, and the degree of the break varies within each individual.

But if I cite an extreme case, I can illustrate the elements of the ‘God possessed ‘ more easily. The characteristics will be most evident in the extreme case, but no less lethal in lesser doses. It’s like cancer. You may not be able to see it most of the time, but it can be there, eating away at the body. The same holds true for the God possessed.

We have surely all crossed paths, or met at our front doors, the branch of Christianity known as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Pious souls who firmly believe that they’re answering their calling. That may or may not be so, and either way, that’s not my call, nor my problem. It becomes my problem when they try to hook me and reel me in like a fish, and I have to fight them off energetically and rebuff their intrusion; which is rude, deliberate, arrogant and as persistent as a fly on a hot day.

No matter what a person tries to do to get them to leave graciously, without having to be impolite, these guys just will NOT go away. Finally, we’ve had to just close the door on them and get back to our life. You’ve seen them strolling in your neighbourhood, dressed in suits, carrying a book or two; they’re most often young, in their 20’s or so, I don’t recall seeing older gentlemen, and I don’t recall seeing women. Now I don’t care one way or the other about these guys, what they believe, what they espouse, or what they think they’re doing. All I really know is that they’re pushy, obnoxious, insistent, belligerent in a religious way, and do NOT listen.

When you say, “ Look, I have to go, my baby is crying “,

And they just segueway into a continuing diatribe without punctuation, citing adept and direct quotes from a book written centuries ago and compiled hundreds of years ago after being translated and rewritten at least a half a dozen times. But I digress. It doesn’t matter what these guys are saying, what they are doing is intruding, and NOT living in reality.

I don’t care what you’re selling, if you don’t have the listeners interest, talking louder only aggravates them, and if they’re telling you they HAVE to go, and you insist on glomming on even harder, then you are just being a pain in the ASS, and do NOT live in reality.

THIS is God’s work??

Oh, they’ll tell you it is, but ‘we’ know that it isn’t.

On that same basis I malign all of the religions, because in one way or another they’re doing much the same thing.

They’re bent on their own repetitious brainwashing and will not let go to save their lives.

That is what I call possessed.

The Spanish Inquisition for God’s sake !

What the hell were they thinking ?!

“ Let’s kill a whole bunch of people who don’t believe as we do,

and do it in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ Our Saviour, the One and Only God. “

Oh PLEASE !

Tens of thousands are reported to have met their maker this way; another fine by-product of the Roman insanity; first they were throwing Christians to the lions, then they threw anyone who WASN’T a Christian to the guillotine.

This is berserk.

The Christian mind still retains all of this material as if it were totally acceptable and natural.

The gospels which they are citing are the same ones.

Virtually all of the offshoots of the Christian ‘ethic’ are still encroached upon by the energies of these atrocities and crimes against humanity, and the respective churches have never absolved, nor removed them in any way.

In short, this misalignment is still in the Christian space.

Again, I want to remind the reader that it doesn’t matter who said what, when or where, or who repeated what, when or where, or who wrote what , when or where after listening to whomever. It’s all good, in essence.

The religions, as dubious as the original sources may be, were all essentially introduced in their original forms as fancy techniques for self awareness, self knowledge, and self management.

The embellishments with which the peoples of the ages have distorted these religions are parallel to the flaws and shortcomings of the cultures which have spawned them.

One was supposed to be getting in touch with ones self by applying the words of wisdom being offered. If the reader had stood back, and taken the material with a grain of salt and given it some time to digest, ‘he’ may have incorporated the insights into his mental structure and learned something useful to apply in ‘his’ life.

Instead the reader has swallowed the entire book, and has developed not only a serious case of indigestion, but needs intrusive surgery to extract this massive volume from his gut to save his life.

“ You weren’t supposed to EAT IT !! “

“ Just take a nibble now and then “

But NOOOooooo,

the desperate zealot has decided that the quicker path to’ Heaven’ is to swallow an overdose.

That’s exactly what happened.

That is seriously unhealthy and has given birth to virtually an entire sick western civilization. Oh there are overdose cases in the east too, after all man is still man, people are still people, but the trend has been much more extreme in the west, and especially because of the ‘Christian ethic’

So when a person invites a guru being ( God figure ) into his space ( consciousness ) there is a tendency for the person to lose control and it’s easy enough to explain why.

The seventh chakra is at the top of our heads over our skull / sixth chakra. It is the place into which our personal energy source enters our space ( body / consciousness ) A guru being who’s been invited into the seventh chakra will intercept the person’s own energy and replace it with theirs, much like a spy will intercept a phone line and re-route it to their own phone, so that the unsuspecting caller ends up speaking with someone other than the person he called.

By intercepting a person’s energy flow, the guru being can control whatever energy the person gets.

Consequently, the person only gets what the guru being allows, and that will always be only that which keeps the person in the control of the guru being.

It’s a basic law of nature.

The trees do the same thing to each other when they block the light of those plants attempting to grow in their shadow, and in the rainforests for instance, there are trees which have specifically grown dense foliage so as to deliberately block the light below and prevent smaller trees or foliage from growing and stealing their resources, like water and earth minerals.

The same holds true for the guru beings.

Like religious interceptors, they feed on the energy of the devout and pious like astral leeches and sustain themselves on the devoted ceremonies of the faithful, while keeping them forever enslaved to the ritual and the energy sources which they allow.

That’s not to say that the a spirit doesn’t exist, nor that prayer and meditation doesn’t serve as a medium by which believers can invigorate their daily dietary needs of spirit,

it’s merely a matter of which source the believer accesses for spiritual rejuvenation; their own or someone else’s.

Unfortunately it’s becoming more and more apparent that the ‘God Drunk’ peoples of the earth are tragically and heinously off track, and have wandered into such potent realms of hypocrisy that their blind stupor combined with the entirely un holy, un godlike methods which they have employed have brought our times to the brink of global decimation.

So what is your space?

I’ll tell you. You’ll get it right away.

A driver who follows too closely gives you an uncomfortable feeling;

that’s them in your space.

A person who stands too closely when talking to you,

is intruding into your space.

A person who talks too loudly;

disrespecting your space and intruding vocally while their body may not be intruding.

When you’re walking down the street and a total stranger approaches you, you can tell right away that this person wants something, because you can feel them encroaching upon your space with their energy.

The same holds true for people you DO know.

While driving, we can almost always tell when someone in the car next door is looking at us, or visa versa; we feel them and look over by reflex; or visa versa.

Women especially are sensitive to this encroachment on their space, and I’ve seen it from personal experience where I’ve thought that the lady in the car next door was someone I knew and looked at her, only to have her glance back almost immediately, and of course in return, embarrassed or ‘ caught out ’ I reflex and look away; exposed in my mistake, exposed in my encroachment upon her space with my energy.

Your unwanted ‘house guests’?

All of the ‘people’ you’ve invited into your space and not asked to leave.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 9. Radical Priest Knows Who's Stealing Your Mail

In his quest for strength, knowledge, understanding and comfort, humankind has attributed the title of God to a variety of images, creatures, inanimate objects and the occasional person. Initially his purpose was to engage his environment; identify it and associate with it. This inclination developed into awe and respect as ‘ he ‘ came to realize his minute part in it all. Fireside tales and old timer yarns embellished what knowledge there was and the fears of the day were somehow assuaged by the comfortable notion of a higher being who was watching over the happenings on earth. During times of special need humanity found itself entreating the God’s for guidance, strength, or most audaciously; miracles.

Without too much ado, the peoples of the earth slipped into the convenient sanctuary of God’s nest, and found themselves placing inordinate authority over their internal struggles and daily toils by rushing to God for answers at every juncture.

Through whatever means of devotional acts, the devout were spending large amounts of time worshipping and praising their God’s, and in return they hoped for answers, blessings, understanding and forgiveness.

The custom took hold with such vehement force that the religions of today have become not only major spiritual enclaves, but also considerable head count centers, wealth caches, political bases and warring resources.

What the God seeker has failed to notice in the fray of devotion is that they have become slaves to their habits.

In a moment of need, the needy person has sought counsel with an essence outside of him / herself. Considering that before too much of mankind’s history had accumulated this outside source was turned into THE main avenue for solace and inspiration, it comes as no surprise that it’s appeal and multi-use function became universal and automatic.

With little or no effort, the peoples of the earth were chanting,

“Oh God, ….” this and,

“Oh God……” that and,

“Oh God please…” this, and

“Oh God I beg you…..” that,

and before too long it became,

“Let me go check with God and I’ll get back to you “or

“I don’t know, let me go ask God “

Just ask yourself now, as a little test, what’s the first thing that pops into your mind when something serious befalls you ?

I’ll bet it’s,

“God Please Help Me “

In their misguided devotion, they had given up their ability to think for themselves,

And THERE is the seed of our present day flock; the unthinking masses, the unconscious throng; devotional slaves and sheeple of nations.

Now it isn’t necessarily a bad thing to have a Godlike resource for inspiration and guidance, nor is it unwise or unhealthy. It is the addiction that causes the problem.

It’s entirely understandable how the lost and petrified of days gone by have run to their respective churches for healing and during times when individuality was barely known, it’s no surprise that the power and majesty of the great God / Church became dominant in society as well as in each persons mind. It is apparently a natural experience for the novice to attribute all seeing, all knowing power to a source on high. It’s a comfort and a convenience which leads the frail soul to a place of rest. The habit of seeking perpetual alignment to ‘ God’s Will ‘ is well known, and has remained so contemporary throughout mankind’s existence that it has even appeared on the currency of our land. The common knowledge element of God, religion, and church is so deeply ingrained within us and our culture that there are entire profiles of civilization who are born into and die out of, religion as life. God, it would seem, is a very popular guy.

In some parts of town the local drug dealer is equally popular, and equally sought after for the goods which are equally required to sustain the lives of the followers.

Be it God, or drugs; the addiction is the same, and so is the cure.

When a person gives up there seniority for a religion guru, he / she gives up free will, and free thought. Just like a drug addict.

The ability to think for ones self is a learned talent that comes with experience,

but the frail and insecure of old have given up their rights to freedom in exchange for the comforting cloak of devotion, and they are as hooked as any junkie.

When a person gives up his right to free thought ‘he’ becomes a slave to the powers that ‘he’ is aspiring to, and ‘he’ loses, or never learns the ability to think for ‘himself’.

The answers that ‘he’ seeks must always be sought through well worn paths of prayer down at the local church. The more adept answer seeker may develop the ability to procure Godly divination within the confines of ‘his’ house or car, but the common practice is to go to the house of worship for the real deal.

This practice is so ingrained within our global community that few ever stop to examine just what it is they’re doing.

Having given up seniority in their space, the devoted followers of the various faiths, must continue with the program or face the certain hell that awaits them. The perpetual fear of reprisal on one hand and the constant addiction on the other, coupled to the automatic nature of the universal acceptance, and the daily promotion of same, has created a game which is as brilliant and compelling as any ever conceived.

The power of this game can easily be seen by the grandeur of histories churches and the obvious mountains of money that their construction would have required. Sure they employed a lot of craftsmen and labourers, and sure the church has promoted the artist’s of the day as the largest single patron of all of history with the statuary, stone masonry and paintings which adorn the temples of worship, but these objects of devotion were extracted from the sweat and blood of the suffering masses during times when life was a mere adjunct to death. The obscene amounts of booty that the church bled from the pious slaves was only surpassed by the pillaging of the monarchs at the head of state, excepting the times when they were one and the same.

When we go to Europe, we return to the melting pot of history and we get a chance to see, feel and recollect the memories that lurk within our genetic branding and our distant past lives.

The sense of antiquity and time becomes more apparent when perusing the majesty of a French Cathedral, or a Roman arena, or a Greek temple, and we have the opportunity to look back into ourselves and possibly recover some of the energies that may still be entwined in our subtle memory.

Some of you may recall this feeling. That deja vue of time and the subtle remembrance of having been there before. The veiled window in the back of your consciousness through which views of a deeper self can be sensed.

Some go for the tourist attraction, and stay for the rejuvenation; though the latter may remain unconscious, the feeling is remembered. Many of us have spent hundreds of hours reciting our pleads to God within some of the cathedrals, and some of us may become fearful and uncomfortable around ruins of Roman arenas, but the grandeur and oldness still remains and the sense of cultural meaning is more apparent when surrounded by the locations from our past. Nothing illustrates this power better than the massive edifices erected by the various churches from the faithful tears and lives of the tricked followers of the various faiths.

The poor people from history have carried the burden of their religion on their backs till their backs broke under the weight, and the burdens passed to the next of kin.

An idea which began as a source of strength through hard times became the bearer of all of their fears dressed in the sheeps clothing of devotional salvation, and by regeneration has remained equally addictive and equally unscrupulous.

The cries from the gilded pulpits propped within the multi-billion dollar temples are for donations from the weary and enslaved in order to procure their own salvation.

Charity for the sick and infirmed does NOT start at the church at all!

If it did, they’d sell off their megalithic structures and BE all that they profess and expect their sheep to be. The hoarded wealth of combined churches alone would feed the entire planet and heal all of the sickness for the next 100 years.

The atrocious dichotomy of lies that these messengers of God are espousing is no better illustrated than by watching the honourably religious with holes in their shoes putting too much into the donation plate as it passes them in their communion with their peers, or the disgusting circus of riches and gluttony that the Pope exacts flagrantly and shamelessly in the face of his peasantry.

The innocent and trusting have been hooked on the worst drug of all; the pretense of salvation from themselves, and the payoff for their commitment is the drug like high that the guru beings intoxicate their devotees with to keep them hooked.

What devotees you may ask ?

Consider the wars based upon religious righteousness.

Can you see the absurd hypocrisy of Christian soldiers ??

Consider the Jehova’s Witness who is unable to say ANYTHING that isn’t a quote from some scripture or other.

Or a born again who suffers the same mindlessness by doing the same thing:- spouting a litany of phrases or paraphrases from an old text that nobody can understand anyway anytime there’s an opening.

Or a Krishna devotee, whose religious premise is one of abstinence and extraction from the ‘ mind stuff ‘ of civilization, doing their chants at airports looking to entice either converts or donations.

Or a gang of KKK thugs burning down a church of different ilk.

Or a suicide bomber; be he an Irish Protestant, or Kamikaze or Jihadist .

These are a few of the sick people that justify a personal criminal tendency by aligning it to a popularly accepted contemporary facilitator and pass it off acceptable.

One can only imagine the billions of people who go through their entire lives as religious clones, lost in some sea of religious quotations, floundering in their shared quagmire of blind enslavement repeating their mind numbing mantras, incessantly brainwashing themselves for an old program that was put into place by manipulators for the very purpose they actualize.

The reality of this enchanted clan is a known and calculated political entity in the U.S. and goes by the title of Bible Belt, while many other nations wield similar regional clusters of the various offshoots of Catholicism.

The staunch unswerving mass of these religious devotees represents an undying commitment to unyielding dogma and encompass a virtual third of continental land mass while born again Christians represent over 40% of the U.S. population, with another 7% being evangelical, while nationwide nearly 80% consider themselves Christian with enclaves of pious positioned in various states outside of the aforementioned Bible belt such as in the mountain states of Mormon territories or the Lutheran areas of the Midwest. Curiously enough though, the greatest incidence of obesity among adults is in the Bible belt region of the south, which may suggest a continuing dissatisfaction within, which despite vehement adhesion to religiosity, still leads these zealots to gluttony as an alternative to the happiness which is not found in their Bible clutching.

In any case all this religion doesn’t mean that these people are adhering to the laws of their respective churches at all. It means that when it comes to obstinance and cultural pigheadedness these are the regions where the obstacles of reality come face to face with the dogma of religious fanaticism and fantasy, and where topics like Global Warming are more likely to be sloughed off as ‘ God’s Will’.

There’s only one thing more vehement than a man’s ego and that’s his religious pretense.

For all the touting and blustering of scripture quoting zealots, the actual adhesion and compliance to the tenets is relatively low, with divorce among Baptist’s; the Catholic figureheads, being equal to or even greater than the national average of 50+%. It’s no surprise though, because the religions of the contemporary western church going believer weren’t made FOR mankind, they were made BY mankind, and are as fraught with deceit and misrepresentation as mankind himself.

You may likely get away with insulting a man as being a mere idiot, but you will not get away with calling him a born again idiot, or a Baptist idiot.

He may be a drunken fool, but don’t call him a drunken Bible bashing fool.

The problems involved with communicating rational thoughts with religious devotees are as tedious as talking to a drunk person, especially if it’s a ‘God drunk’ person.

When a person gives up free thought capabilities for the tried and true doctrine of their forefathers, you have a conveniently controlled group of citizens who will do whatever the church says.

That was especially useful during medieval days in Great Britain, and surrounding Europe, where there was virtually no other canon in place espousing belief systems, and the monarch in place was aligned to the church or visa versa.

Political control of the people was decreed by the tenets of the church, and anarchy just had NO place to grab hold. Likewise was there little room for free thought, individuality or exploration.

These days however, during times when freedom of speech and thought are bragged about as foundations for an entire civilization, the tired old religions are as out of place as a Zoot suit at a beach party.

The huge numbers of people who still espouse the dogmas of antique religious views are challenged to pursue modern life using antique thought forms, and yet be fair and reasonable using a set of parameters designed for an entirely different purpose.

The concepts for life contained within the ‘Old Testament ‘ are as worthy as they ever were, though their actual source is up for grabs, the values which can be extracted and exacted are honourable and useful enough, but unfortunately the energy is outdated some 5000 years. They are also incredibly difficult to interpret, even after being re-written into English.

The ‘New Testament’ follows suit, and the entire collection of books which has been so neatly compiled into it’s present form as the Bible, is still, at best; after being translated a couple of times, a difficult and arduous piece of literature for easy, clear application.

This tedium has served as another device for conjecture and manipulation by the Church, and the continued collection of devout within the confines of the ongoing group agreement continues to mold the receptive hungry souls into the form which it has maintained since pollution took control.

In English now.

When you feed an old line of nonsense to a new line of kids, they become filled with old nonsense. That places them at a distinct disadvantage and hooks them ir-retractably to the old line of nonsense, and handicaps their ability to deal in the here and now, and to find current day answers for current day problems using the outdated format.

It also teaches them to look outside of themselves for their answers.

With that you breed a generation of kids who don’t have any communication with themselves, and who follow whatever anyone puts into their brains.

That brings us back to the stolen mail.

As conscious human entities on this planet we are entitled to our own energy and information free and clear of middle men.

With the first spark of interest in them, the religions, which are headed by guru spirits, steal our own personal energy and information, and sell us back their own brand with built in limitations, to prevent us from accessing our energy ourselves. Upon payment of devotional tithing we are given enough information to keep us going but not enough to set us free.

Know who’s stealing your mail now ?

Your church.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 8. Radical Priest on How to Live to Live Another Day

By about now I have three of the world’s major religions arming themselves and getting ready to hunt me down; since I’ve dissected their treasured beliefs and offered unwelcome evaluations and uncomplimentary summaries to their deities of words and delusions.

Well, let's see; the Muslim’s will be easy to spot, they’ll all be wearing turbans,

and the Christians will be easy to spot because they’ll drive up in Mercedes Benz sedans with crosses on their hoods in place of the three pointed stars ,

while the Jewish militants, they’ll be the easiest ones of all to spot, they’ll be the only people in town walking.

I jest of course, but only for the sake of illustrating the stupidity of contemporary religious bigotry

The truth is that I guarantee that I’ve lost cross sections of each of these faithful pious as I’ve progressed through this piece, since the idea’s that I’ve proposed would have just been to outrageous to tolerate. Pity. They shall remain prisoners of their own fears well after their departure from this world.

What if someone was stealing your mail, and selling it back to you ?

Your mail; rightfully yours and yours alone, was being intercepted before it got to your mailbox by a gang of local thugs who then sold it to you over the back fence through a middleman; someone who said he was an appointed agent and that he was the only person you could talk to about getting your mail back; and then, only under a specific set of terms, conditions and cost; which they dictated. You would be outraged no doubt. Now let’s take that back a couple thousand clicks and declare that this mail stealing had in fact been started by some fellow thousands of years ago who had apparently assured everyone in his day that HE was the only person you would ever get your mail from, even today.

Now I’m not going to get into a pushing contest here, my point is clear. No matter which religion came first, or which religion is the biggest, or the most popular, or the most fun, or which makes claims of being direct, or second hand, or initiated by little green men in sequined tu tu’s; they have each fulfilled a need and they each retain a place in the list of religions worshipped here on earth where all religions are created equal. The premises of the religions we know today however, are each founded upon several alternate bases, and they are each fascinating profiles on man’s view of himself in relation to the great unknown.

The tribal beings developed their fireside tales to explain, and honour the elements of their world, while the sages of old began to encompass the entire psychological profile of humankind’s constitution, weaknesses and flaws; and incorporated a sincere concern with insightful evaluations about mankind to produce an elaborate compilation of rules for humanity. Given that for the most part, these ‘rules’ were the only guidelines that civilization had for a long long time, it comes as no surprise that they came to the fore and established themselves as irrefutable ‘Words of God’.

The Hindu’s thankfully, were gracious and unthreatened when Buddha came out with his views, and the Buddhist’s along with the Hindu’s were gracious and accommodating when Zoroasters presented their augmented reviews of material they had each already covered. Likewise were these three unoffended when the compilations of mankind’s religious views were again reshaped into Islamic translations, and thence Judaic.

But it’s not too hard to see how this got out of hand. The egoistic failings of the identity hungry male; I say male, because again, I truly doubt that women had had too much direct effect in these matters. This postulation still holds unfortunately, with the equal rights amendment still floundering in U.S policies, to date; and by my continued reference to the ‘male’ of the species, I exonerate womanhood from blame for this atrocious state that the world has become. During his struggle to live under harsh conditions of the early centuries, humanity had little time to reject another’s piety, or even become aware of it. There was little energy for such things by the time survival had taken it’s daily toll from their diurnal reserves. But someone came along and threw a wrench into the gears and began an irrational hostility which has continued unfettered into our present day. This monkey wrench has in fact become the basis for our western civilization; of all things!

It is my belief, and the belief of our Church, that not only are all men created equal, but that all religions are created equal too. The various offshoots of spiritual guidance are each composed by seers, mediums, philosophers, psychics, spiritualists, and wise men.

Given that there were few elders, it is a fair assumption to preclude that the ones who were still alive, must have had deep and serious concerns for the health, safety and welfare of the populous known to them; considering that for the most part, they had to have been adolescents, and for an even greater part; if not all, were uneducated and unsophisticated in their thinking. It’s completely plausible that in fact, as is clearly illustrated by Zarathustra and his writings, that the religions of the day were compiled and composed by them.

I’m not ruling out that Krishna, Buddha, Mohammad, or Jesus or any other reputed sons of God weren’t special guys. They may well have been ‘chosen’, they may well have been ‘messengers’, and they may well have been ‘special’. They also may not have been. They may have been applied figureheads, mere Joe Shmo’s with fancy nomenclature stuck on for effect. They were made into being these things by the word of their fellow citizens, since if no one had said anything, the tales would not have existed nor thrived as they did; but they may also have indeed been direct conduits. They may even have had extra powers of insight, perception, healing, and such, and may have had visions and visitations of celestial nature as well. I prefer the concept that they were conduits and visionaries who had had visitations and / or spiritual insights prompted by out of body spirits.

I shall expound upon this view, because as it is patently obvious, the current set of views has turned into a maggots nest; excepting those of the Hindu’s and the Buddhist’s of course, who have continued to stay out of the fray.

So we have a man.

Sorry ladies; even Joan of Arc wasn’t touted to be ‘ Daughter of God’,

so let me not belabour this and just say man.

So we have a man. Fred Seer.

Somehow, despite the difficulties inherent with his daily life, he’s managed to reach a clear zone in his awareness. Clear sight if you will. Granted there weren’t too many obstructions to thinking in those days, but likewise there weren’t too many queues either.

This man is wandering around the hills somewhere, contemplating an insight or two that had been offered to him by one of the local elders from something that he’d heard. He found it inspiring and in the bare naked hills around him, he touched upon a new level of awareness. This habit of touching upon new awareness under similar conditions has been popularized by several of the ‘God heads’ and it goes along with popular understanding to state, that a person, free and unencumbered, sitting alone, or wandering alone, will, or at least can, eventually, break into new territory of thought.

So this person / man has a new vision. Perhaps in his receptive mood he invites a spirit etheric into his consciousness and receives some extra information. Perhaps he’s gotten these insights himself, directly from his own personal source of inspirational knowledge; his etheric essence if you will.

He's made a breakthrough and immediately wants to share it with everyone; a clear sign of adolescence. But how will he ever translate this new material into any form that his peers will accept ? Men aren’t particularly generous or benevolent towards each other and I don’t think that that has changed much; nor has much else changed within the working essence of the male of the species, given that he’s still acting out Neanderthal tendencies, even today, and in greater numbers. The only thing different is that these days he’s doing it vicariously through TV under the headings of World Championship Wrestling, or Boxing, or Football, or through watching the violence so popular in movies like Rambo, or in video games, or in the streets as gang wars, or as soldiers fighting the War of Terror; sort of like jollies by proxy. Anyway, Fred Seer gets back to his village and tells his wife what’s transpired. In her intuitive wisdom she tells him NOT to divulge this thing he’s stumbled upon lest he finds himself labeled as a sorcerer, or madman or what have you. Ah, but ol’ Fred can’t leave it alone. He’s got the bug. So he devises a way to sluff this material off onto someone else, and calls it; a visitation from a celestial body.

This would have been all the easier if in fact a being without a body had shown a valence to ol’ Fred. I would guess that ol’ Fred would have gone to the village wise man and run this by him and it’s likely that several of the other village wise men would have gotten in on it, worked it over and concluding that it sounded like a good idea, having coupled it to several realizations of their own which may have been something like ‘Without guidance these guys are finished’

A village wise man may have been all of 40 or even 50, but the odds against them being older are pretty high. A couple of these gentlemen together may have already commiserated over the sorrowful plight of their peoples, their lack of morality or ethics, and the uncertainties that they were facing. They may have heard, or noticed first hand, some of the inclinations towards ‘Godlessness’ that their people were exhibiting, and they may have had visions or even visitations themselves. They also may have heard, read or been told of religious premises from other lands, and working together; compiled a structure which served as a guide for the initiator of this ‘prophesy’; ol’ Fred.

With that, each were exonerated from actual first hand responsibility for the material, yet each authenticated the other, and each authenticated the story so that within no time at all, the story spread throughout the village. We know how rumours work, and we know how they thrive. They thrive on ignorance. In such a land, in such a time, in a vacuum of knowledge such as existed in those days; it would be an easy feat to fabricate and disseminate a tale of such grand proportions; from a source that was irrefutable by virtue of the superstitious fears of an ignorant population. In any case it was more or less the only thing going at the time, and it spread like wildfire by the same inter-social mechanics that move iPods today.

As a more or less typical westerner, my views are comprised of the passages of western man, and the Christian ‘ethics’ that have followed our culture like exhaust fumes follow a bus. In many cases throughout our western history these ‘ethics’ have in fact been the main driving force for virtually the entire profile of the branch on the humanity tree that we represent. The problems associated with mass hysterical religious dogma are many faceted. I shall illuminate some of them as I see them, though my interpretations are not necessarily the be all and end all to this.

Firstly, I see that during times throughout our past, the fears and worries of a desperate world have been accommodated by well meaning elders who eventually formulated treatises and they became known as ‘religions’.

Secondly, these religions were then expanded upon with such vehemence and majesty that no one ever questioned them, the validity of their presentations, nor the fairness and rational of their foundations. Thirdly, that these powerful dictates were wielded so deftly and so thoroughly in the vacuum of knowledge, that they appeared to be the sole core of man’s awareness and his relationship to God and the world around him.

A friend of mine many years ago was excited about a woman he’d met, and was bragging about her like she was a goddess. He hadn’t had a lady friend for some time, and he was being rather dis-proportionate with his evaluations of the situation. So as to not pop his balloon, but rather to help him tie it to a tree, I said,

“ When you have nothing, ANYTHING looks like something”

The same holds for religion and God. For the dieing masses, for the fearful and trepidatious of history, the souls of old with nothing more to live for than some fanciful ideas of an afterlife in 'Heaven'; the concepts of God have provided sanctuary, guidance, strength and insight. The communion of God and spirit has comforted the ill, blessed the faithful and led the lost souls of time to a new vision.

The Church has made sure that these lost souls remained faithful by ‘stealing their mail’.

That point was not lost on the kings of the day, rather, expanded upon deliberately for the sole purpose of control and pillage. The Church being the only thing equal to or more powerful than the monarch, was the certified and recorded partner in this crime, and that policy is in full swing as I speak; with none more so than our own government and our own cultural 'awareness'.

Something happens to a person when he has no alternative avenues for his thought processes. Sure a person's mind can be molded and structured and redesigned to fit a space, but in it's early growth it needs to sprawl and expand and experiment without constraint or artificial resistance. Or control.

When a growing mind is stifled it becomes crippled and handicapped. It can not function independently, and it cannot explore anything. If the growth process of the human entity is clipped short by artificial constraints, the human, as bonsai, comes into existence. Needless to say, that is exactly why the kings and cardinals did what they did. Constantine initiated the Christian war of religion and every king, bishop, cardinal, pope, prime minister and president from the western world ever since has maintained it. The Catholic Church in the U.S. is wealthier than five of the biggest corporations put together, and a global tally of wealth, stocks, and land holdings would easily amount to figures large enough to buy several small countries. The only roll higher than the donor count is the list held by the IRS.

YAH ! No wonder they want everyone to be afraid !

They are raking in BIG bucks and they have no intention of giving it up.

The best way to maintain that degree of social pillaging is to keep the tried and true policies of the state well in place. The division of church and state is about as real as equal rights, or democracy.

During the Dark and Medieval ages, the tenets of the Catholic Church were expanded upon and levied to such an inordinate degree that our ' western' civilization has not recovered as yet. The fear of God's wrath has been inflicted so deeply into our concepts of righteousness that the Bible has become the accepted word of God and is used in the legal forum as the book upon which to take the oath of truth as we 'swear to tell the whole truth' in court.

So where is the division of church and state again?

"We're doin' Gawd's wurk" ( ??!! )

At a time when mankind was a walking weakness, the Christian religion was hijacked and converted into a weapon against dissension and anarchy, and maintained as such by the arrogant yet casual application of matter of factness that 'this is just the way it is'.

If I were to choose the Talmud, or the Koran in a court of law as the book upon which to swear my oath of truth, would I be granted this right ?

When it says on our money " In God We Trust ", does that mean MY God, or theirs?

Just how far do our religious rights extend, and just how far can we go to exercise our own personal religion in the "land of the free and the home of the brave"?

Apparently the religious bigotry which runs rampant in this our "All men are created equal" farce, as directed by the claims that "Jesus is the ONLY son of God" and that "there is only ONE God", meaning of course the Christian / Catholic God; is acceptable and encouraged by the Pope, the Catholic Church, the Treasury Department, the Courts, the laws of the Land, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the President; who offers parallel illusions with the KKK as they espouse illegal global war as our 'God given right' in their quest to "spread the word of OUR Lord, the one and ONLY Jesus Christ Our Saviour".

How does this become automatic in our world?

By common usage.

A child is sent to school and recites " ...one nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for All " as if it were the beginning and end of the whole story. Sunday school does the same thing. Within a generation it's done. We hear it from our elders, who heard it from theirs, who warned that the prize for non compliance is death, or at least a severe stoning, and voila, only the bold and rebellious will ever use the 'Lord's' name in vain, while the truly revolutionary develop a contrary view of the same thing and call it Protestantism, which is, still, an offshoot of the original lie, which some upstart named Jesus began when he got it into his head that HE WAS the ONLY son of GOD; and that for want of any alternative, the hysterical babbling masses went along with.

In case no one has noticed, the dub has been extremely close to claiming the same thing, and is exhibiting the self same egocentric delusions that prior maniacs have touted as they launched global reign over the unconscious throng.

If you think that's okay, then YOU are a part of the problem.

If you don't, then you can be a part of the solution, and to survive, you may want to extricate yourself from the brainwashed millions who will lead our world to a certain irreversible demise; by getting a grip on workable parameters for psycho-spiritual survival, realistic all encompassing acceptance of all peoples and their religions, and genuine practical concepts for self awareness and application of healthy sustainable global views.

Hey Man.

I look forward to hearing from you.

NIXON never thought he'd be caught either!"
http://erroneousbusczh.homestead.com/9-11Plot.html

Ch. 7. Radical Priest asks, "Which Came First ; The Bitchin' Or the Beg ?"

The history of ‘ Civilization ‘ is the history of religion, with recent focus being greater, certainly in monetary terms, than any known to humanity.

The differences in opinion are following form and running hand in hand with reprehensible, incomprehensible and extreme degrees of religious fervour coupled to reflex and rabid blood lust married to braindead murdermatons.

The future of ‘ Hell ‘ is well secured.

With his usual inconsiderate addictions to domination and violence, MAN has run amuck in a way never before seen in our known span of time.

The Greeks, The Romans, The Christians, The Moors. Each has had some massive campaigns, spread over pieces of earth so large they are measured as percentages of total planetary land surface.

But never before has any really threatened the ultimate survival of life at this corner of the Solar System.

Since his warring began, MAN, has acted out his inner rage, flexed his bully muscle, and actualized his incomplete maturation process from one forest to another, one hill to another and one sea to another; unfettered; and as wantonly as any drunken harlot in an alcoholic stupor surrounded by any number of intoxicated randy dog-like males.

What the Hell is GOING ON ??!!

Where did our ‘ God ‘ go ?

“ Oh, he’s over there with a rocket launcher aimed at that caravan.”

There are three major religions going at it like never before.

Each are wielding total decimation in one form or another.

Each touting a God that is greater than the other, yet somehow, the same.

At the time Moses mysteriously appeared with his “ Word of God”,

there were already well founded spiritual beliefs in India, China and Persia; not mentioning the Egyptians, who seemed to be into something a little more vain and hedonistic and therefore not entirely spiritual in my view.

Given that there is not one artifact of antiquity anywhere to be found to support Moses and the Mt. Sinai theory, the basis for the beginnings of the Judaism and Christianity may well have the genius stroke of a seer having an epiphany or of a philosopher, who took preexisting material and rewrote it.

In any event, each of the contemporary spiritual beliefs of the middle eastern enclave at that time was well enough established to not be influenced entirely by the supposed “ Ten Commandments” or the birth of Jesus and the ensuing drama that goes along with that.

It appears that Zarathustra was the first spiritualist to invite the duality of Heaven and Hell, separating his celestial guide from the evils of earth and giving him supremacy over his demonic arch rival.

Zarathustra didn’t ever imply that HIS guide/God was the ONLY one, since he was following in the paths left by Krishna and Buddha and most likely taking guidance and inspiration from them and/or from their teachings.

The Torah was supposedly inspired by the written translations of Moses and compiled into it’s form, as “ The Old Testament” by scribes under the tutelage of elders who may well have compiled and prepared teachings synonymous with any number of sources already in existence.

The duality of God versus Devil came to the fore and remained the central crux of this areas religions. However right next door were other, older, healthier religious beliefs that might have taken hold of popular contemporary western culture if it hadn’t been for the fanaticism of King Constantine.

The eastern religions in practice at the time of Moses were considerably different in presentation, but no less worthy. Their central characters were touted as being either the son of a great God, or the recipients of the great God’s inspiration.

No matter which source, the core tenet is that mankind needs to honour and respect the earth and all things in it.

The superficial differences really don’t matter when it’s all said and done.

During the initial growth of humanity; of ‘man’; for facility;

‘he’ was without language.

His understanding of all that surrounded him, or her,

was limited to his experience and his sight.

He developed a relationship with his world which eventually incorporated a consciousness of basic realities, like pain, gravity, darkness, and sleep.

Upon that simple knowledge he developed skills, and understanding of slightly more complex realities, like rain, fire, shelter, or bodily coverings. He also eventually learned about obscure things like poison berries, over-eating, birthing, and communication, not necessarily in that order.

He then learned to kill.

His prey, and his enemies.

Sometime along the road he began to have ideas about larger powers which controlled various systems like sunsets, or storms with the resultant lightening, or heavy rainfall with the resultant flooding, and within his small universe, such forces would have had to seem absolutely awesome. They would also have been realized as being beyond his capability, and therefore the realm of greater entities living ‘ up there’.

Given the short life spans of Joe Lascaux and his neighbours, most would be subject to the unbridled zest of adolescence and the ignorance that goes with that.

Now I wouldn’t plop a school bus full of teenagers out in the middle of the jungle and expect much more than total disaster; and the eventual complete annihilation of each one of them wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

” Lord of the Flies “ illustrates that clearly enough.

But during primeval days that young mind was virtually all they had as their basis for self government and survival information.

Since there wasn’t any other information to be had, nor knowledge of anything more than what they had right in front of them, the only source of wisdom would have come from the ‘elders’; who would likely not be much older than them; though I won’t rule out the possibility that there were seniors in the mix, even during Egyptian times, elders of 50 years were rare.

So Joe’s tribe was a tribe of adolescents, burdened by the oats and impetuousness of youth. They were also burdened by the insecurity, fear, vanity and recklessness, and the general angst of youth. The unfathomable reaches of the night sky would definitely have been beyond their comprehension, and wide open to interpretation, speculation, adoration and homage, while the unavoidable inner traumas of

“ who am I ?”,

“ what does it all Mean ?”

“ what is love ?”

would have nagged away at the back of ‘his’ mind much as it still does today.

Being a tribal animal, the primal human would also be inclined towards some of the other ills that befall the adolescent intellect, with those I’ve mentioned above, coupled to things like competition, jealousy, fear, confusion and superstition.

That playground in their heads was fertile territory for short tales and tall, and with the advent of speech, these ideas eventually were shared after being harboured within under unknown categories that haunted them in the night.

Early homo sapiens had a lot of time to think about these things long before ‘he’ could ever tell anyone about them, or even formulate them into a sentence.

How would he have described a celestial concept without a language ?

How would he describe a conquest with naught but the bones left over?

He painted, drew, carved and molded, but that was about it.

As people, we know that everyone loves a good story.

We also know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease; to wit, around a campfire embellished by a roasting carcass, the description of the days activities was a popular event, and that the raconteur of times would invariably be the individual who dominated the discourse.

Eventually, the story tellers would have become known and valued, for given their predisposition towards being ‘men of words’, their talent and value to the tribe would not have gone unnoticed.

With this it isn’t too hard to see what happened down the road.

The tale tellers of old, became the cultural hubs of the tribes, and the intellectual guides for the less adept ‘explorers’.

It’s not too much of a step to the inevitable, and given a little competition between orators, the story teller with the most fantastic story would doubtlessly have become the ‘main man’. The sorcerer or medicine ‘man’ would have held an even higher position of esteem in the tribe, and may well have been one and the same.

Oh sure, the tribal leader would still have had rule, but the story teller had imagination, and that would lead the avid listener to an avenue of mystery and escape; a pastime that is well accommodated and well acculturated within the characteristics of Mankind to this very day.

Now for my money, though the teachings of Krishna may well have been the first formal offering of guidance ‘from above’ by a son of God; their elephant God and six armed dancers and blue babies and such, were just a little weird.

The following compilations of religion were more reasonable and were comprised more of help than they were of egocentric posturing, until the jostling and elbow jabbing of the Christians came onto the scene that is.

The Muslims had incorporated everyone into their system, the Judaics came forth with a modified version of that and specified more distinct parameters, but the Christians postulated that THEIR guy, was the ONLY guy; which invariably invalidated everyone else, and thereby negated and insulted systems that were already in place.

So Johnny-Come-Lately, barged into the scene and decided

‘he’ was going to upstage everyone.

It certainly had happened around the campfires of antiquity already, but it did take a headstrong lot indeed to challenge, needlessly I might add, the existing religions of the day.

I strongly suggest that the act itself was a mere gesture of foolhardiness and self absorption , concocted by a cartel of religious insurgents to put their brand name on the theme of the day.

In short, the unwelcome imposition of man’s will into the realm of the ‘Gods’, did not incite retaliation from the ‘Gods’, but rather from men who believed in these ‘Gods’.

Krishna was touted as a son of God.

Confucius was not.

Buddha was not.

Zarathustra was not.

Abraham was not.

Moses was not.

Muhammad was not.

Jesus was touted as the ONLY son of the ONLY God.

Like someone pushing their way to the front of the line.

That was definitely an incitement, and an act of deliberate fantasy imposed upon a pre-existing spiritual structure that was already well founded and well accepted; in that region anyway; while elsewhere, the tribes of mankind were honouring their God’s through the many faces that ‘He’ was wearing in Asia, North and South America, Polynesia, Oceania, as well as Northern, Central and Southern Europe.

Our weekdays are named after such Pagan Gods as Woden and Thor.

There were also Zeus, and Neptune and the rest of the Grecian Gods who were more relative to daily life than unknown unseen beings who supposedly ruled from on high.

Of all of the superstitions / religions, most of the earliest ones were bestowing their spiritual structures upon known earthly entities, things of the tangible world; the Sun, the Moon, the Spirit of the Hunt, or the Ruler of the Sea, and so on.

Each of the spiritual beliefs of humanity were birthed and nurtured around the campfires and places of worship, and evolved through the course of natural selection through tangible, earthly associations. Each were active independently though concurrently, and were separate and unknown to each other until the travels of Europe’s explorers.

Yet despite the variety and differences between them, each was born of mankind’s inclination towards giving up his seniority to a higher force. Each, however did had valid and traceable relativity to the culture that birthed them, and were structured around the very elements of their daily lives.

At NO time did any of these ‘Gods’ ever claim to be the ONLY GOD !

Furthermore at NO time did their Gods appear and address a crowd,

or pose for a photo op.

Oh sure, plenty of aware souls communicated with ‘God’.

Many of them were able to recite or incite parables and doctrine,

but NONE of these were necessarily directly from ‘God’, they may certainly have been premonitions or visitations, insights or realizations, but by the time they were put into words or text, they were likely to have been modified since

they had traveled through the medium who received them and presented them to the public. They were therefore second hand right from the getgo, and tainted by the bearer as clearly as the reteller of tales of conquest would have unavoidably modified the material from receipt to dissemination.

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway.

ALL of the Gods of Mankind are equal.

ALL of the visions, concoctions and rantings are as worthy as the next.

In terms of spiritual guidance and adhesion, the musings of the ‘God’ agent,

the babblings of the ‘God’ drunk, the writings of the ‘God’ struck,

the tales of the ‘God’ seeing, believing or espousing; are all equal.

Mankind had birthed his ‘God’ from his environment, and embellished

‘Him’ with whatever chattels he found fit.

Each ‘God’ had been a creation of the quest of ‘Man’,

and all men are as equal as their ‘Gods’.

The pursuit and need for a superior entity is an intrinsic characteristic of the human condition. The means by which it has been effected however are handicapped and limited by the capabilities and the limitations of the initiator and the recipient.

The reasons and intentions that mankind has levied upon it’s people through it’s means of communicating and peacemaking with the ‘heavens’ have been for the most part, noble, honourable, and sincere; until religious belief was turned into a weapon that is.

This realization has saddened me deeply because the goodness that lives in man’s heart is being used against him for ulterior purposes.

The growth of mankind has been subject to manipulation and convenient distortion with power, control, and self aggrandizement at the crux of it.

Through the ministrations of maniacal, power hungry Kings, the inherent drive of civilizations to have and worship a God of their choice, has been rerouted into cause and motivation for global domination.

The Christian concept for ‘Salvation’ is the greatest hypocrisy of known civilization.

From it’s questionable inception,

“ Thou Shalt Not Kill”

has been flagrantly ignored, violated, inflicted and wielded across nations by the swords of religious zealots with the consequent demise of millions, and the potential of ultimate decimation of the Earth.

We are standing in broad daylight, yet remain as blind as bats,

We have our eyes wide open yet can’t even see the nose on our face.

With all of the spiritual parameters that we have poured over throughout out time,

we are living as wild beasts.

For any chance at a future, mankind must take his global awareness and unite

as one ‘nation under God’,

or WE shall all perish as one foolhardy species that just couldn’t do,

what it has professed in the name GOD.

I see the abolition of crosses, ankhs, wheels, ohms, whatever, to be replaced with the O.

The One, the Sphere, the single unit, the Ouroboros, the circle of time, ………

The circle, a most perfect to end to a most perfect beginning.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 6 Radical Priest :- "Too Many Crooks Spoiling the Cloth"

Everybody wants to go to Italy.

Well, of all of the people I know; Italy is the place most mentioned;

let’s just put it that way.

Suffice it to say, that the numbers are noteworthy; lots of people spending lots of money.

Lots of people want to go to Greece too, and France, and it wouldn’t take too long to find out about those numbers either, but that’s not where I’m going with this.

What I’m saying is , that from the U.S., thousands and thousands of people per year travel to the ‘old country’ and oooh and aahhhh at the grandeur and antiquity of old Europe; Rome, Paris, Athens, London, Heidelberg, Vienna……

There’s also a sizeable number traveling to Cairo, and Jerusalem, Constantinople, and their neighbours- though not as many right now.

The grand cities of history; cultural hubs of a growing world, nests of the Euro-Anglo-Saxon tribe, the genetic mixing bowl of homo sapiens, the Petri dish of Mesopotamia, the fallen fruit of Egypt, orchards of Dead Sea plains;- land of musings by sunstroke dreamers.

Taken back to it’s primary spark, mankind has sprung from seed planted in a dusty dry land and branched into the monstrous tree that it has become. In it’s infancy a guide apparently came to the fore with parameters for living. ‘He’ is claimed by several names and known as several identities, but there are a couple of possible sources on the table, so in essence, we’ll leave that there for now, since that point of pedanticy doesn’t much matter at this juncture, though I shall illucidate that further deeper into the story. Right now I’m looking at a bigger picture.

Now I personally believe that from the most miniscule twitch of consciousness, mankind is basically a benevolent creature. At his best, in his peace, in a perfect world, mankind would be a pacifist, a creator, an explorer, a tribal member, a provider, a father, son and husband.

His psyche would be simple, with food more or less perpetually on his mind. Oh there’d be a d’alliance, and a game, a moment for joy or sadness, time for love or thought, perhaps even wonder, but for the most part, I’d say he’d be on the chow patrol

pretty much full time.

If we were to envision our man, and his family in a tribe living in a gentle environment; let’s say a warm one, by the ocean or sea, surrounded by lush vegetation; one with plentiful natural fruit, and wildlife that wasn’t too intimidating; the men would characteristically have been sent out to hunt and gather, though I believe that it was more along the hunting line that the men gravitated towards;

easy enough to see why.

Men would have been unencumbered by child, and would be more available to attack and kill a hapless rodent or fowl or such, while the women, clutching offspring would be protective and cautious of their baggage and moving slower, thereby more suited for fruit, egg, or other less arduous collecting tasks. The kids would have been included too, so, we can go with that without too much ado.

The male of the species, was therefore by logic and history deemed to be the hunter, and was consigned to figure out how to secure and overcome the beast of his choice. Were it me, I would conclude that wrapping my head around the idea of manhandling a deer to the ground somehow and extinguishing it’s life force with my bare hands would have given rise to the invention of a weapon in no time, though I would certainly have grabbed a nearby rock and popped Bambie in the brain with it soon into the exercise.

I would also figure that as a virgin beast slayer I would have had to become fairly brutal and merciless in my practice of this burgeoning talent, and that that inclination towards the thoughtless and unhesitating wielding of death at virtually any moment would have doubtlessly have had a severe effect on my psyche.

But again, since men are accepted as being predisposed to such matters of dominance and violence more readily than women, it would go without saying that men who were inclined to be more passive, would have found themselves motivated, if not inspired, to be and become more ‘alpha’ by mere virtue of his role as hunter, protector and provider, as well as by his hormonal drives and realizations of procreation and the need for same.

Psychologically it has become popular theory that this is in fact so, and has a lot to do with testosterone, build, and glandular predisposition towards dominance.

Whether by choice or by genetic code, the male of the species became the blood letter of our roots. His ability to feed his family was determined by his degree of skill and attitude, and the defense of his tribe would soon be part and parcel of that too. If only for defending from wild predators,’ Joe Lascaux ‘ would get his mojo into gear pretty darn quick I’d say. One could safely say that this behavioural requirement would soon rub off on him and become a given permanent psychology for survival.

Humans lived a pretty rugged life for a long time. From those early days mankinds survival continued to hang in the balance against the forces of nature, and the size of a tribe determined it’s ability to survive against the odds, as it had done throughout the stone age periods.

Even in those primal days men were killing each other wantonly.

I say men, because women warriors were all but completely absent from virtually all of histories wars, and let’s face it, knowing what I know about women, I can safely say that for the most part, it just isn’t in their nature to war upon each other;

that’s just more of a ‘male’ thing okay?

In any case, it was survival by wits, brute force and adaptability. It was also by tribal strength, and numbers obviously had everything to do with that quotient.

Just imagine yourself as this early homo sapien. You’d survived the hardships of cave dwelling long enough to reach your 20’s, you’d improved your talent at fire keeping, beast slaying and breeding. Life was good. You’d found that a section of a carcass left nearby the fire had become rather more edible, you’d also found that straw and grasses made your night time hours more bearable, and that keeping the fire going through the night kept creatures away and kept you and your tribe warm to boot. The cave offered warmth and security, and gave everyone a sense of belonging too. It’s good to be King.

Suddenly with so much comfort and leisure time you found yourself peering into the night sky without the trepidation of years gone by. You began to notice the moon, the stars, the passage of the heavens across the sky and the waking of the day.

Your neighbourhood was no longer such a terrible threat, you actually started to include Mr. Tree and Miss Rock into your scheme of things and began regarding them as real and worthy parts of your daily world; veritable entities no less. As your awareness of yourself increased, your awareness of your surroundings did too, and the inclusion of all elements of your reality enticed you to befriend them and begin communicating with all that existed inside and outside of yourself.

Anyone who’s spent any time in the woods will understand exactly how that works.

Within a couple of days one rapidly starts with;

“Good Morning Mr. Bluebird”

“Hey there Mr. Redwood”

“How the heck are ya Mr. Oak ?! “

Whether real or imagined, we automatically attribute personae onto the things around us.

We talk to them, we acknowledge their presence, and we make our peace with them.

We also, through identifying them, learn to respect them;

“ Oooops, sorry Mr. Snake, here, let me just sneak away over in this direction,

Sorry to have disturbed you “ ( thinks, ‘Oh mama, git me outta here’ )

But our sense of ego and self would encourage us to develop a duality;

a division between what we say and what we think.

A woodsman may incorporate the two directly when picking or cutting or killing to the effect that he may find himself apologizing for taking a life.

I know I’ve done it.

“ Sorry Mr. Hydrangea, I need to cut off this old leaf, it’s cramping the other leaves, trust me you’ll be healthier for it in the long run; Who’s yer Daddy ? “

Joe Lascaux would have wandered around his piece of the forest, content and masterful of his domain, well fed and feeling good. He would find more time to breed, and that was a good thing, his tribe was getting bigger and stronger as a result of that and that too was a good thing. I won’t go into how he figured that part out at all, but the culinary and survival talents of the tribe were becoming quite pleasing, and he would find himself feeling masterful and dominant.

Until a dirty great beast came rampaging into his camp that is.

Then he would have to summon the old killer instinct and take care of business.

No prob. He and his boys were getting good at this by now, so a marauding invasion of jungle roaming nomads merely became another test for their skill with club and rock.

But, there, into his peaceful domain, came a threat from another tribe that perhaps had mistakenly wandered into Joe’s camp.

That first encounter has set the stage for an entire civilization.

Joe would have been surprised.

At first it’s likely that he would have been very curious too.

He would certainly have stopped what he was doing, and looked around to see if his tribe was nearby. His tribe would have been alarmed and would most likely have fled the scene in fear, while his fellows would have stayed.

Perhaps several of the other men came to take a gander at the newcomers and perhaps they circled each other for a while, sniffing, and looking each other up and down trying to grok the essence of the intruders. They may have looked different, had different bodily features and different apparel. They may have been carrying different weapons.

Let’s say it was a hunting party that had ventured into new territory in pursuit of prey.

At first this may not have been a confrontation but an astonishing realization.

But knowing men as I do, especially unsophisticated un-evolved men, it would be easy to see how this meeting deteriorated and turned into a war.

It may have started as a mere curiosity by one of the intruders. I say intruders because I believe that Joe Lascaux would have felt intruded upon, given that his entire world was his ‘kingdom’ and that he was the master of his ’kingdom’.

So let’s imagine that the curious intruder gingerly moved towards the exciting aromas emanating from the area around the fire pit, and the carcass that was roasting there.

What happened next doesn’t take too much imagination.

Barney Trouble reached for the leg of lamb, Joe Lascaux intercepted him, and grunted.

Well Barney was full of himself and nothing else so his designs of hunka meat were NOT going to be deflected, so he pushed Joe in the face, grabbed yon side of meat and smacked ol’ Joe in the head with it.

Joe grabbed his club, opened up Barney’s skull, and that was all there was to it..

Typical. Surely you’ve seen an argument turn into a brawl. MEN do it all over the world all the time. Not Women. MEN

Testosterone contest.

Festa di Braggadocio.

Understandable enough, human enough and perfectly forgivable.

By accident one tribe stumbled onto another. By accident, one tribe offended another.

Sure, Joe was defending himself,

and Barney was merely reacting instinctively to another living being for the purpose of survival. He had perhaps came from a less advanced part of the ‘family’ tree; a less fertile section of the valley, a less opulent area of the flora and fauna banquet; and were hunting to survive.

Found ol’Joe.

Got whiff of that shishkebab and that was the end of that.

Or shall I say the BEGINNING !

Barney was killed, but his buddies wiped the floor with ol’ Joe and took control of the tribe, the women, the cave, and everything in it.

It was a matter of life and death. Homo sapiens attacked his own.

It’s easy enough to understand, can’t claim to not get it, but I wonder how civilization would have turned out if Barney had just sat down and drooled for a while and made his honchos do the same. Ol’ Joe might’ve warmed up to the idea . If Barney hadn’t been such a pushy, macho slob, he might have saved mankind from decimating itself.

Now it’s obvious to us who did what. Barney intruded into Joe’s little world.

He didn’t necessarily mean to, it just happened.

Hell, he couldn’t help how good that meat on a stick smelled,

nor could he help his reflex to just lunge at it.

We wish he had, since after all he was the ‘guest’.

Except that social convention, etiquette and manners hadn’t been established yet,

So men being men; started a never ending war right there in the primordial forests, and men STILL being men, are, with as much brainlessness and lack of social convention as ever; still fighting it.

If ol’ Joe could’ve been more patient he might of deflected the intrusion, and turned it into a joining of tribes; God knows he needed a few good men.

But he didn’t.

He didn’t really know better.

Barney, when it’s all said and done, didn’t know any better either;

each had automatically seen the other as a threat to survival.

That is when the War of Humanity began.

They had an excuse. Out and out ignorance.

At what point did we become civilized ?

We haven’t.

Meanwhile the tribes of the land grew, and expanded and moved, or whatever.

Time passed.

All of the miracles of the day, came and stayed.

Pottery, cloth, domestication of animals, planting and harvesting,

home building and the rest of the stuff of civilization gradually came to be

withthe active evolving tribes.

It’s safe to say that the tribes were self governing, with elders more or less

at the head of the system.

Occasionally with the more brutish offshoots of mankind, the head of the tribe would be a younger, more violent bully, and within those realms, the warrior tribes would naturally take over the peaceful ones.

Power was assumed and fought over.

Why?

Why couldn’t mankind have learned to co-exist with other tribes as well as it did within it’s own ? if in fact it did; I’m presuming that that was the case, since tribes did grown and become towns, they obviously didn’t kill each other off.

But the memory of moving in on someone else’s turf was a real and viable part of some tribal codes. There’s no doubt about it. Even at this early, infantile juncture of civilization, we were headed for trouble.

As I said, life was tough for these young branches of the Humanity tree.

Life expectancy was pretty short, so the elders were few and far between; meaning that the greater profile of the world’s population was young; under 40 with the youth naturally enough dominating the cultures, the wars, and the work forces.

Despite the affliction of death by sword, illness, or starvation, civilization survived; but it was in trouble. The Ancient Egyptians are the first, most historically noteworthy civilizations. They took their animism and idolatry and added their Kings to the list of Gods requiring devotion and service. During which time they created some of the, well, in their day, the ONLY wonders of the World. They were warriors, conquerors, builders, sailors and slave owners.

They were not spurred by religious bigotry but by the general savagery of powerful nations conquering weaker nations.

Then somewhere into this a messenger brought a different message. It has been touted to this day as THE word of God, spoken by God and turned into ten stone etched phrases of spiritual law; though who actually carved them, or dictated them the first time could be considered open to conjecture, since none of the early religions touting these ten phrases can even agree as to what they said, meant or by whom they were given.

Either way, that premise alone has been the core of humanities war against its self ever since.

Given that it is said that Moses supposedly re-carved them after smashing them in a rage,

he may very well have carved them himself in the first place.

At night, in his tent, set off from the rest of the sleepers, perhaps camouflaged among the noise of the tinkers, or cobblers or what have you, he may have pre-carved them, and had them delivered by scout to the rocky crags of Mt. Sinai ahead of the throng; so as to return from his little hiking trip up on the slopes with a fantastic tale of a Supreme Being who later became known as God.

Now don’t be getting’ all worked up about this, it really doesn’t matter that much either way, since the actual working premise would still remain, the goodness and paternity of the fatherlike Moses.

Personally, it would fit into the haphazard un sensational growth patterns of the homo sapiens just fine if it was as I suggest, and here’s why.

One could figure that Big Daddy Moses was a really good father. His actions show no less. He would have become familiar with the God concepts of the Egyptians and an imaginative guy could take that one step further and envision himself as a God too.

Moses was in a way as equal a God to his people as any of the Egyptian Pharoahs were,

But he was also as much of a ‘righteous dude’ as the next guy and was in effect a hands on kinda guy, a plebian; so he couldn’t just ‘lord’ it over on his flock.

He loved them, he cared for them, he served them and fathered them, and without too much ado, trudging around in the hot sand, he came up with an outer expression birthed by his inner responsibility to his people.

Now it goes without saying that what we’re told and what it was are very likely to be entirely different, and the talk around the tents and campfires under the seclusion of night, were likely about a lot of things that aren’t recorded.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if there was a rumour that Moses was a God, by virtue of having lived with a ‘God’:- his adopting father, or at the very least the masses would have been suspicious, suspectful or superstitious and attributed hierarchical status upon him just to play it safe.

You know how people talk.

Around the camp fire.

Starving to death in the middle of some desert some where, suffering from heatstroke, malnutrition, fear, desperation, despair. A regular perambulated Gordian knot of psychological weaknesses.

But he wasn’t a Pharoah, so how could he ever get his people to pay attention to him, even if he hadn’t heard the rumours, which is doubtful. Since he’d taken them all under his really huge wing, he had to have just been bleeding inside for each of them and their plight.

Brilliant !

He figured it out and executed it.

He carved the stone plaques, sent them on ahead, wandered off alone into the foothills of Mt. Sinai till he found the scout , who was waiting, with a signal fire, or who’d left a trail, or maybe there were two scouts:- one tablet apiece,

or four who traded off to rest the other.

Simple enough. Heck, I even thought of it and I’m not Moses.

So he gets his mitts on the stone etchings, well, I would’ve had the boys bring them as close to edge of the camp as possible, then carried them in myself.

The doctrine or postulates of these etchings were incredibly insightful.

“ Thou shalt not have false idols “

Clearly a protest of Egyptian lore, within which he had grown up, and which had concocted some pretty bizarre entities as Godly figures, many of which were various combinations of humans with animal heads.

In his sincere most heartfelt concern for his flock, Moses knew that to get any effect at all, he needed to make this God he was touting into a huge, almighty and supreme entity.

Without that, he knew his people would collapse into the earth.

He knew them well. His heart was obviously in a good place. He was clearly very wise for his years and could have decided that the easiest way to get his people to obey him was to tell them that he had been told by this being so enourmous that it had created the Universe. Furthermore the best way to convince them of that was simply to say so.

So he did.

Then he forbad them to think otherwise.

Excuse me ?

I don’t think that the Ten Commandments came from any ‘God’.

NO God I know ever says things like that. It just isn’t Godly.

In fact God told me that it was NOT him !!

“ Thou shalt not have false idols”???!!

That is the product of an ego, NOT a God.

God isn’t insecure.

HE isn’t threatened by some clay statuette or other.

Those things amuse him.

HE would never dictate something as meaningless or ego based as

“ I am the ONLY God “

That’s like honest people going around telling everyone how honest they are.
They DON’T do it.

I think Moses worked them up after choking on too much dust
and spending too much time in the hot sun.
Moses sounds like a bit of a tripper. Doesn’t he sound a little bit like Jim Jones ?

Take a bunch of people out into the wilderness, isolate them, deprive them, weaken them;
in an inhospitable environment with no way to escape ?

In those circumstances people are very vulnerable. Survival deprivation is a very powerful tool, just ask any of the victims of prison time.

Isn’t that fascist to tell the public what they can and can’t think or believe ?!
Were the ten commandments merely the sunstroke babblings of a power tripping fascist;
a by product of a damaged adoptee, child of circumstance to a domineering Egyptian ruler, and the creation he birthed after he’d grown and been stuck with a mountain of responsibility in his lap?

Pretty outrageous to suggest it, but broken down to mere human elements, the chain of events is pretty easy to follow; as I’ve just described.

But again, let’s just say that Moses was a good guy who produced, because of his connections and who he was, a well intended set of behavioural codes which were separate and apart from any others that had existed within the experiential lifetimes of the other people around him.

Well, let’s face it, either way there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot else going on anywhere, and after dragging everyone out into the desert and subjecting them to perpetual survival at it’s worst; whatever Moses said, was likely never protested or even examined too closely by anyone until the power heads of nearby nations got wind of this ‘plan’.

Then like men, they each wanted to claim it as their own.

The original presentation of concern, nay command, though obviously biased, was taken to even further degrees; modified, converted, and distorted; without too much imagination or alteration I might add; into various permutations of the same message.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 5. Radical Priest and the Altered States of America

This is an incredible place we have here, a melting pot of nations, a potpourri of cultures, a conglomerate of breeds, a magical blend of talent and possibilities. The heart and spirit that went into building this country are as great as that of any other peoples,

while the potential and creative horizons surpass most nations.

The list of inventions and discoveries sits at the top of the mastery of humankind, while the zealousness and unbridled courage of the citizens has faced, and remained undaunted; through two major wars and a several minor ones.

The Declaration of Independence was the product of one of those wars, yet somehow within it’s conception were written the fallacies that the country faces today.

At face value it was conceived and executed with integrity. It’s premises were fair, equitable and realistic, but it’s foundation was unhealthy. Sure it came to pass as a result of our separation as a nation from the British Empire. Sure it was intended as a noble guideline for a fledgling group. Unfortunately it’s that same group that’s thrashing it and running it into the ground.

Thomas Jefferson was undoubtedly a great man. So were his peers, the co-writers and co-signers of the pact. Unfortunately they were white upper class, slave owning landholders.

“ All men are created equal ? “ What on earth were they thinking??!

From it’s very conception it was a lie.

These gentlemen had no intentions of giving up their slaves. Slavery wasn’t abolished for nearly a hundred years afterwards; beyond the span of their lifetimes.

One of the other main points in the Declaration is that as a people we were entitled nay obliged to protest and reject any government which acted contrary to our rights and wishes.

Well that was a pretty grandiose and preposterous statement to make.

What arm of the public was ever going to contemplate removing the government.

Kids were shot to death at Kent State University just for protesting the Vietnam war.

Tear gas was used on them countrywide on dozens of occasions and rifle butts, billy clubs and police batons pounded and bashed any and all protestors indiscriminately from coast to coast, and that because of mere protests. Never was any of that about unseating the current government body as ascribed in the Declaration.

So public protest was violently and mercilessly quelled, though looking back on it now, it would seem that the point of objection of the protestors was in fact well informed, well founded and well deserved. Never the less, there are thousands of victims from these brutal police actions who will never protest anything again, and I daresay there are many who still have bodily injuries and many more with deep psychological scars that will never heal.

Isn’t that nice.

‘All of those nasty little trouble makers were just pounded into permanent submission.’

The rest of us licked our wounds and continued to live, but never forgot the unholy treatment at the hands of our own government on our own soil, as we expressed our own rights against something that was ultimately proven to be wrong.

So the Declaration of Independence looks like a snuff suckers fantasy as we look at it’s inception and trace it’s execution to the present day.

The objections cited further down the body of the work, list the multitude of violations the King of England was imposing upon the infant states and the general vehemence that these infant states were propounding.

The premise that ‘we’ as a people could protest and remove a violating government body wasn’t worth the paper it was written on, especially, again, since it was written by the fat cats of the day. These days, with the manipulative power that money inflicts upon the ‘justice’ system, the fair and equal rights of the voting citizenry are distorted, malformed and amputated by bought and sold representatives to the point of revolution. If we were capable of revolution that is. When Presidents are appointed by hijacked judges who are cronies and cohorts of other unscrupulous power heads with money, our ‘Democracy’ becomes the plaything of the elite land holders of old.

“ Money is Power. Money Rules All.

We have Money so therefore WE are Right.

It’s our Way or No Way.”

At least they’ve stayed true to their course.

It would seem that the Declaration was a decoy, a placebo for the masses to swallow while they, the elite writers and signators continued unfettered with their plundering and hoarding.

“ All men are created equal “

Just ask any person of colour if they’re treated as equals.

The written word is of course TRUE, but the practice is a lie too.

Almost as if the unconscious American mind knew the lie in the beginning and has acted out the same lip service that the ‘founding fathers’ did.

Now, the new and improved Declaration is virtually

a declaration of war upon the citizens.

It’s called the Patriot Act.

It’s a total blanket policy which entitles the nationwide government arm to seize, detain, prosecute and convict ANYONE for ANY REASON without EVER having to:- file formal charges, allow a lawyer to represent the detainee, or even disclose the location or crime of any detainee. It has been presented as a necessary response to an identified evil in direct opposition to the Constitution. It has been effected under duress, misrepresentation and deception and constitutes the rape of our Bill of Rights.

This is the ‘Christian’ answer to a supposed ‘Islamic threat.’

Since the American condition presents itself essentially as a fair and honourable system,

the nasty little secrets that lurk not too far under the surface, are never truly addressed, yet they skulk, stalk and wait to pounce at any transgression.\

World War One was deemed and vowed to be “ The War to End All Wars “

The wounded and maimed, the widowed and mourning, the general and administrative public all decreed that the horrors of war must never again be repeated yet ironically, they said the same after World War Two.

The undeniable repugnance of war has reared it’s ugly face over a hundred times since WW I, though war has remained ‘ the last resort’ throughout all of this.

When you take the deception and the hypocrisy that’s been bred into the United States of America by the Catholic / Christian tenets, the Declaration of Independence and the convenient reasoning for engaging an enemy in war, it comes as no surprise that the national consciousness is numb, dumb, and full of rum.

WE invaded the North American continent under the auspices that we were righteous and entitled, and maintain an illegal occupation here to this day. I believe that Manhattan Island is the only part that we actually bought from the Native Americans.

The rest we stole from the murdered owners.

The Catholic / Christian missionaries continued with their brainwashing audacity by infiltrating and polluting the remaining native peoples with their vehement assertions that they were representing the ONLY God, and that the indigenous cultures living on the land that we were trespassing upon, were violating heathens who would go to Hell if they didn’t convert to the ‘Word of God ‘ and take Jesus as their ONLY saviour.

What a nerve !!!!!!!!!

I believe that the antithesis of that is called the “ Christian guilt.”

More aptly the white, Anglo-Saxon Christian guilt.

So when you get to today’s unconsciousness, is it a surprise ?

Have we EVER been conscious ?

Can we really blame the younger generation for the failings of a nation that have been written into the code from the first Declaration and translated into the unconscious mind from generation to generation without ever being called out and held to task by the evolved consciousness of greater more humane minds ?!

To be able to resolve these problems, the core of the belief system here

must be surgically removed and replaced.

As a breed, we are a despicable, disgusting bunch of self impressed, headstrong, blood thirsty murderers, and unless we acknowledge this fact we will never be able to address the deviant deviants that have run our country into this lie, and who are running this country into it’s grave.

“ Oh, it’s the American Way “

Damn right it is and it’s entirely fallacious and completely off track.

There does exist, a global consciousness which is attempting to heal some of these atrocities that ‘we’ the ‘Christian Nation’ have effected upon the world.

Sure it began in the 3^rd century, but it has never been dealt with by ‘modern civilization’

The Pope who recently apologized for the sins of the Catholic Church going back to King Constantine, turned right around and insulted the Muslim nation by claiming that the teachings of the founder of Islam Muhammad were “ evil and inhuman “

Good God !!

The head of one of the most powerful religious lobbies insulted and provoked the core of another major religious lobby with an act of complete arrogant idiocy right in the middle of an Earth threatening war, last September !!

To follow that insult he added another, by apologizing for ‘their’ reaction.

NOT for what HE SAID !!

He apologized for their reaction.

That was an out and out provocation of war against the basic tenets

of the Islamic belief system.

Furthermore it’s a classic illustration of the core self absorbed obstinate arrogance of this ‘ Christian’ farce that’s infiltrated the innocent native people’s of all lands, brainwashed the feeble and frightened young cultures during difficult times and that’s justifying the illegal war we’re up to our necks in right now.

It’s also a perfect example of the hell bent on destruction brainlessness that was employed to incite this illegal war in the first place.

THIS is their ‘GOD ‘ ??!!

This is why the devout have prayed and muttered to their Rosaries for these past

19 or so centuries ?!!

The problem that seems to be escaping everyone about illegal war is that everyone who is involved is culpable.

That means the troops, the Senators, the Prezident and V.P., every member of the staff who has not OPENLY protested this war is complicit.

Remember the Nürnberg Trials ?

Well guess who’s next.

The USA, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Rice and the entire PNAC, the FBI, the CIA, the U.S. military, the Republican Party, Bush senior and everyone of his cohorts including the Supreme Court judges who manipulated the results of the stolen election the first time, the Catholic Church, including the Pope and every so called ‘Christian’ who has ever espoused war in the name of the ‘ One True God’ or any ‘God’ for that matter, and that means the KKK too.

And the Treasury Department puts

“ In God We Trust “

On the money.

Indeed !

The TV announcer just advertised an upcoming special,

“ three sexy episodes back to back only on USA “

L&O, SVU

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ch. 4. Radical Priest Says The Answer to 9/11 is NOT Illegal War

Many people think that war is just fine.

There are still many veterans who’ve been to war; but some of them are pretty old now.

Veterans for WW II are few and far between, but they’re out there, and their tales are vivid and horrible, and laced with honour and glory for having fought off the tyranny of the Japanese, German and Italian Fascists; though they aren’t much of a political force anymore; in their day they were the fighting force that saved our world from the Fascist Global takeover. The Viet Nam veterans are out there in greater numbers,

but still they aren’t much of a political force either, all said and done, given the physical and emotional handicaps that so many are suffering as a direct result of a useless and wasted deployment.

So who is driving this war in Iraq ?

The army is currently using footage of the flag raising at Iwo Jima in their ads, to try to inspire recruits. That might work for WW II vets, but 18 year olds today couldn’t find Iwo Jima on a map if the had it for lunch.

Viet Nam vets wouldn’t go for one iota of any of that, since the travesty and the sting of that wasted effort lives in their daily nightmare along with their lost friends, Agent Orange and their post war injuries.

So how do we, as a civilization garner enough momentum to even contemplate war,

let alone incite one!?

Mankind seems to have been waging war from the get go, and while the growth of civilization has produced some tremendous things far removed from warfare,

war and the illusion of glory, both seem to have gotten into our genetic code.

These failures are in our genes.

I say that figuratively of course.

There is no ‘war’ gene,

but culturally there would seem to be sometimes.

The Greeks, the Romans. Great cultures turned to ashes by war.

The Greeks overextended themselves and met their undoing because of it.

Likewise the Romans.

I’ll bet neither of then ever thought that they would collapse one day. In their glory and conquest do you think they ever doubted their sovereignty ?

Yet everyone knows that Rome came to a sad end because of it.

Japan, Italy, Germany; all met the same fate that Greece and Rome did.

Hello-o-o-o-o, are we missing something here ?

How can any culture still believe that war is the way to go??

Haven’t we learned ANYTHING ????

WHO are the people espousing war?

How do we identify the war mongers?

Well, let’s see.

There’s the military; they live for war.

The weapons manufacturers; they profit from war.

Oh, and the Catholic church; parts of it preach war.

I’ve never heard a Hindu saying, we must kill heathens to cleanse the earth.

Nor have I heard a Buddhist claiming that all who believe in Hinduism must die.

So where do the Righteous Right Wing Catholic militants get their inspiration?

Shall we start with the Crusades ?

Militant Christian soldiers donned their weapons and vanquished millions

in the name of God?!

Then the Christian missionaries took it upon themselves to spread ‘the word’,

based upon a misinterpretation of the Bible, and the misguided premise espoused by the Crusades, which had to some degree have been fortified by the Inquisition.

The precept that the Bible espouses is a righteous basis for exacting either salvation or condemnation upon the peoples of the earth, and that it is quite acceptable and quite honourable to do it in the name of God. In the back of human consciousness, the aggregate mind seems to have somehow been infiltrated with this notion.

Even today I find myself being cautious as to how I address this, while most certainly, outside of an alternate religious belief, I daresay any critique of the Catholic church in years gone by and even today could be met with a most violent end.

In Ireland for instance; or on some dark country road in KKK territory.

Or in the White House under Bush.

Still in all the Bible is a great achievement.

It’s a compilation of folk tales accumulated 16 hundred years after the fact, and written into literature by monks, who were at the time, virtually, the only people who were educated enough to read and write. One must realize that for all intents and purposes, the recollection of facts would have to have been sketchy at best.

The witnesses were all dead, and had been for a long time.

There was very little if any actual evidence other that the word of mouth stories

handed down through the generations.

The material was brilliantly accumulated and composed into, and rightfully so;

sections attributed to the various sources and named after them.

The Bible is a terrific effort, but in actuality, again, at best, it’s third hand information.

The essence is there, and the objective was met, but unfortunately the multitude of variations in practice today is clear testament to the fact that the Bible

has been turned into a book of many faces.

This isn’t really any surprise. The human mind, the ego, the memory, the inclination to embellish, the imagination and the talent of the scribes all influenced the writing of the Bible and the resultant interpretation of it. And the misuse of it.

Some of you may remember that classroom experiment where someone at the back of the class was given a message to pass on to the person at the next desk and so on until it reached the front of the room. The final message was completely alien to the original.

Thus the ‘Word of God’ was only as good as the man who wrote it.

I am a baptized Catholic, so, thank God, I’ll be going to heaven.

Isn’t that special.

Everyone else is going to hell.

If you fear God, and do exactly as ‘He’ says,

You may be redeemed.

But since ‘He’ is the only REAL God,

then, all of the other religions of Humankind are going to hell,

or worse yet, stoned to death in the name of the Lord.

'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.' " (Lev. 20:7).

Wouldn’t you consider that a bit harsh ?

Either you’re a Catholic or you’re going to hell??!

Either you’re Catholic or we stone you to death !

Wouldn’t you feel just a little bit like a ‘ Gringo ‘ or an ‘Ugly American ‘

going into a Tibetan Temple and telling them that ?

If you went into a Shaolin temple with that line you may find yourself

face to face with a serious ass kicking.

It’s a pretty fair guess to say that God did NOT tell anyone to do that !

That sounds more like Medieval mumbo jumbo.

The Dark Ages, when the bible was written were indeed dark.

Very similar to the propaganda of today, the scribes and monks were likely pressured to manipulate the storyline to create terror, and fear among the masses for the purpose of political control. Just look at the incredible and all but indelible scar that that fear has generated among the people’s of the past and of today.

A fair person, of moderate religious inclination, would not be inclined to go to the neighbour and stone him to death because of a difference in religious belief,

Catholic or not.

But the Ku Klux Klan has taken it upon themselves to do exactly that.

In what is considered today as gang violence, they have burned churches, lynched blacks and whites, brandished guns and burned crosses in the name of some deviant offshoot of the Catholic church. An off shoot that’s inspired from the first line of Genesis and expounded upon ad infinitum through out ‘ the scriptures ‘;

that there is ONLY ONE God !!

Now I know that the evenly tempered person of today really doesn’t go there,

yet in some vague suppressed corner of the Catholic/Christian mind lurks the idea that the honourable and faithful is entitled to stone an unbeliever to death !

The Bible after all, says so many many times; so it MUST be true, and the Anglo-Saxon / European offshoots must still be wearing that energy today, but forgotten to identify it specifically any more.

Okay are you ready for this ?

IT IS NOT TRUE !

THERE IS NOT ONLY ONE GOD !

Fortunately most good Catholics realize that the things written in the Bible

are not necessarily to be taken literally.

Unfortunately, there are some who don’t, and go out brandishing weapons and killing people in a medieval mindset wearing their little crowns of righteousness, pointed hoods, or military uniforms.

What a horror it must be for the good Catholic to know that the same words he or she holds and worships for peace and compassion, are converted into the death cry of a rabid religious right. I don’t think anyone wants to try to talk a pack of white hooded men into an arena of good sense while they’re waving guns or burning crosses in their hands,

nor incite a bloodthirsty militia of military gunmen to lay down their precious weapons to consider the error of their ways.

Given that that is the dilemma we’re faced with as a nation ‘at war’,

the truly religious patriot is NOT a death machine at all, but rather a Truth Seeker.

A God loving person, not God fearing !!

Given that our ‘War on Terror’ has been incited from within our national trust by a power who’s interest’s lie within the unthinking hysteria of a nation bent on revenge, we, as a people must see through the blinding rage and ask why we have been manipulated to seek death to an unspecified enemy as the only recourse to 9/11.

The honorable and good piety of sincere souls has been twisted into a tool for a power hungry few who will benefit while we kill and are killed, while the war hungry few who have waited and trained for death are easily prompted to don armour and guns and seek out any and all violators as ascribed by a maniacal few.

Blind and numb, we have been duped into an un-Godly, un-Patriotic, and un-American rampage into a never ending theater of war against an unjustly convicted perpetrator.

That is NOT how our American Pride has been outlined or cultivated.

That is NOT our representation of Democracy.

That is NOT the core of our Heritage.

That is the core of the fascist, who inflicts weaponry and death

upon innocent people for gain, and we all know what happens to ill gotten gains.

I’ve been at the hand of bullies inflicting unfair and undeserved wrath, served upon unjustly as a scapegoat for some vague, undefined resentment hand me down :- the dastardly relic of prior bad acts passed from parent to child like family jewels.

That type of hatred and blind injustice will raise an indignant fury within an innocent receiver that will cause permanent distortion and damage within said otherwise clear and benign recipient.

This freshly planted field of unfairly damaged souls IS going to come back and haunt us and our offspring. The children who have watched their parents burn at the hand of some adolescent idiot G.I. with a flame thrower who’s wracking death and mayhem upon anything that moves; are harbouring resentment that’s so deep they will most likely NEVER recover from it or the images of savagery branded into their innocent minds.

“ We’re liberating the people of Iraq and showing them the way

to American Democracy “

ARE THEY KIDDING??!!

Nope. They’re serious.

They believe it.

“ THAT is NOT American Democracy.”

Do you understand?!

You have been told.

What the current government is doing is

NOT DEMOCRATIC !!

IT’S FASCIST !!

It’s a Fascist as the war that Hitler started.

A war based on lies.

A war based on murder.

A war based on false pretexts and seriously distorted allusions of Democracy,

Religion, and American Justice.

It WILL come back and bite us.

I look forward to hearing from you.

9/11=PNAC Plot
" Remember,
NIXON never thought he'd be caught either!"
http://erroneousbusczh.homestead.com/9-11Plot.html

Ch. 3. Radical Priest to Bush :- "Because of 9/11; For YOU, There IS No God !"

One of the things I recall about the various religions that I looked at
over the years is that basically, they’re all saying the same thing.

Be Good.

Treat each other well, be fair, be kind, be respectful.

Honor your self, honor others, honor your beliefs, respect all living and non living things, maintain a proper behavioral code, don’t hurt anyone.

There are some occasional amendments to these premises but for the most part they accompany the human condition as a source of guidance strength, reassurance and understanding of our place as living entities on a living planet, surrounded by a whole lot of distance, and as some believe, possibly other distant life forms.

GOD has been with us as an overseer in many many forms but when it’s all said and done, the idea of GOD, lives within us; in the privacy of our fear, confusion, insecurity and essence du vivre.

In his earliest interpretations, mankind has placed Godlike attributes onto rocks and trees and considered that all things had ‘ spirit ‘ and were consequently ‘on the list ‘ of forces than needed to be acknowledged, honored and respected.

There were, and still are, cultures that believe in Rock Spirits, Tree Spirits, Sky Spirits and so forth. In the realm of God each interpretation is valid,
as is each God.

It’s not too much of a stretch of the imagination to see how a naive, primitive being might attribute the visage of a human face and persona onto his ‘ God ‘ to make him easier to live with, absorb, comprehend, accept, and talk to. Since believers were wandering around the hills and the forests talking to the rock, tree, animal and Earth spirits, it’s no surprise that the believer concluded that this persona living on high might as well resemble him / herself, and ‘HE’ was thus easily humanized and integrated as a human in the heavens, a human with special powers.

So God, became a human. Some think he’s a man, some don’t. Throughout our evolution there have been many interpretations of this inner awareness we call God.

On the astral he’s an energy with the valence of his choosing.

Somehow ‘we’ forgot that God is NOT a man with a white beard and a staff of lightening or whathaveyou. On earth GOD is a principle;
much like gravity f’rinstance.

You can’t see it. You can’t touch it, but it acts upon you
and you can feel it.

Beyond that pretty much anything goes. We’ve dressed our Gods in many garbs, attributed them with many powers. Given them a plethora of forms, and worshipped them in a multitude of ways. But EVERY God is equal to the person who believes in ‘ Him’.

We say ‘Him’ because it just feels more personal, whereas ‘It ‘ would actually be more appropriate, since the life force within us is the beginning and the end of our vision of God. It is but a little spark inside that gives birth to God consciousness. With that a God is given a place in the reality of the beholder. What ever reality that may be.

Mankind is in NO place to say that one God is better than another.

Mankind is in NO place to suggest that one God is superior
to another God,

any more than he can righteously state that any one person
is superior to another.

That is basic. To have any pretense of piety,
the novice must have passed through that portal.

Some cultures take their religion into other areas by stipulating what a follower is or isn’t allowed to wear, eat, do on certain days of the week, or say at any given time; while other religions go into grey areas like afterlife, heaven, hell, karma, re-incarnation, and so on;

but without all the candles, rituals and fancy outfits, that list of human guidelines espoused might have come from an Aesop’s Fable , a nursery rhyme or a Bob Dylan song;

and they are as I’ve said, pretty much all the same.

Let me put this another way.
Let’s say carpenters.

Carpenters with boxes full of tools.

Each has the ones he needs to get the job done.
Put them side by side, and give them each the same job to do,
presuming that they both have the same skills set.

They each have different toolboxes, one is taller and skinnier, the other is wider and shorter, made of a different type of wood, but opens well enough despite being old.

The tools inside each of the boxes are different, from different sources, or different materials, one guy has plastic handles on his screwdrivers, the other guy has wooden handles. They are all different but some how the same.

One of the fellows can read and write the other can’t, one speaks one language the other another, one has brown hair, the other has black.

Both create a finished product that is identical in all ways.
Perfect replicas down to the millimeter.
The customer or patron who ordered the projects, looks at the items just made
and can’t tell them apart.

But he can 't decide which is best. So what does he do?

He looks the men up and down, he doesn’t like black haired people, but then again he doesn’t like illiterates, he looks at the clothes they’re wearing, then goes and looks at the toolboxes, evaluates the tools within and chooses a product based on

how new the tools are, what colour hair, clothes and tool box the owner has.

.

THAT is TOTALLY wrong. The dress, the appearance, hair color or age of the tools are not fair or even a pertinent criteria for evaluating the products that these craftspeople have created.

Has nothing to do with it, honestly.

At a pie baking contest would you want your pie evaluated by how it tastes,
or by how old your stove is ?!

Well we all know that you can’t judge a book from it’s cover, yet so many do,
and the newest of all things seem to have become the most favoured
in contemporary society at large.

Now let’s change the identities of the previous metaphor and call the toolbox;
an adult person, and the tools within,
the religious parameters that this person espouses.

If both come up with the same creation, who can fairly evaluate this creation by the parameters that created it? They don’t have a thing to do with anything.

Any more than the colours of the toolboxes had to do with the final product
that the carpenters built.

Now SOMEHOW, humankind of a certain ilk has deemed that a person
of one colour is better than a person of another colour. THAT is wrong too!

Trapped in an elevator, during a black out, all people will be equal. You may welcome a variety of skills that a variety of people will bring, because when you’re relying on others, it would help to have as much diversity as possible to be able to cope with the variety of stresses and issues involved in being trapped for any period of time, like, say, in an elevator between floors .

That’s where anyone would welcome a McGuiver of sorts. In that scenario, or as in
“ The Admirable Creighton “; what our ‘ McGuiver was wearing, what his hair, clothes or shoe color were would very clearly have nothing to do with his skills base nor his ability to help others to get through / out of the situation.

Unfortunately again, like in “ The Admirable Creighton “, rescue finds converts
rapidly reverting to prior unhealthy ways.

The same premises go for all things that are the human race. You may prefer blondes, but brunettes are equal to redheads are equal to black haired people, are equal to blondes.

And with that I circle back to the questions about God and religions.

The recently discovered, last surviving stone age culture found in New Guinea ,
( who didn’t want anything from human civilization except newspaper to roll cigarettes ) has, along with the stone age Aboriginals of Australia; a system of beliefs comprised of the most primitive in practice today. Animism. They have rock spirits, tree spirits, fish spirits,…..all things have spirits. Their beliefs are those of mankind in primitive cultures, or better said, older cultures, since the Egyptians were Animistic,
yet not too primitive;

while you might say that believers in extra terrestrial life
might represent the other extreme of the spectrum of possibilities.

In between we have a potpourri of beliefs, each pious to some degree or other,
each valid in all respects, and each equal in all respects.

But the ego’s of greedy, religious zealots have converted a few religions
into incitements of war.

That’s like the carpenters getting into a brawl over their tools.
It’s completely ludicrous.

But of course, civilization has forever wrought war upon others on ill founded cause.
As relative as blonde carpenters with mahogany tool boxes,
brawling with brunette carpenters who have oak tool boxes.

But you get a crowd all riled up and incensed with religious passion and turn them onto an enemy that you ascribe as being responsible for their suffering and wise people become blithering idiots with blood lust on their minds.

If you were King Constantine, you could get control of one sect of Christian and use them to hunt down another sect of Christian, and start a war among Christians calling it the purification of the ‘ Word of God ‘, ‘ The Crusades ‘ or something , and it would span two centuries and last to this very day. You could pump them up and manipulate them to go through any number of hardships in the name of their God;

‘ the one and only God.’

You could incite them to believe that they were the one and only righteous people, and that their word was the only word that an entire civilization must hear and adhere to.

If they didn’t you would kill them;

” Rotten heathens, kill them all.”

Great !! So how long has THIS been going on ??!! Two thousand years ??!!
ENOUGH !! This is WRONG !!

Two thousand years of carpenters with mahogany tool boxes warring with carpenters with oak tool boxes, during which some of the groups of carpenters starts to attack mechanics with different tool boxes who in turn attack the plumbers who have different tool boxes. The plumbers decide to attack the carpenters, because they incited the mechanics, but the tinkers and millers join up with the farmers and candlestick makers and gang up on the plumbers for attacking the carpenters, but the carpenters attack the tinkers and millers anyway, because they don’t like anyone; and after all,

Carpenters Rule !!

Then along come the bakers, and the cooks, who join with the tinkers and millers, and attack both the mechanics and the carpenters but don’t care one way or the other about the plumbers.

Are you following this ?

Sounds pretty damn stupid doesn’t it?!

This raison d’etre has gone to an even further point of absurdity; beyond that of race, to the battlegrounds of East Los Angeles where Latinos are killing each other because one gang is wearing blue bandanas and the other is wearing red.

Gee, I wonder where they got that from ?
Oh they believe it too! Their lives depend on it.
If they cross the wrong intersection it’s adios tamales.

Oh, but the Christian zealot is doing GOD’s work;
and there is after all only ONE True GOD.

THEIRS!

How conveeeeenient.

And if you get in their way they’ll kill you.

NO ! THAT is NOT what Jesus said and it is NOT what he meant.

I know Jesus. I have dinner with him occasionally on the astral. Remember the last supper ? The last supper on Earth that is. They’re still having them and ALL the gang is there. The prophets , seers, soothsayers, and visionaries, the leaders, saints and healers, the avatars, and Godheads incarnate; all together feasting on etheric fruits and divine wine; and I’m telling you; Jesus had no intention of having warring soldiers kill his flock because they heard their tales of HIM OR God from a different scribe.

Least of all Christian soldiers.!!!!

He’s asked me to tell you to STOP IT !! This is WRONG !!
Mr. Bush, he ESPECIALLY wants YOU to STOP everything NOW !!

I also speak with God daily, in fact I’m on a first name basis with Mr. God,
he’s my pal, good ol’ Goddie;

plays a mean game of golf too; ol' Goddie does

and I asked him about YOU, George W.;

HE never even HEARD of you, none of the ‘guys’ have but there is someone named Beetlejuice living in a tiny cottage in the train set in the rec room who says he's heard of you but wouldn’t give any more details without a lawyer.

So don’t be running around this poor old human thrashed earth
claiming that you’re doing God’s work.

YOU’RE NOT !

GOD does NOT incite men to kill each other.

Jesus does NOT incite men to kill each other.

NO religion incites anyone to kill anybody.

The religions of the earth are valued and treasured value systems that empower People to create and flourish, to nurture life and to heal the sick and infirmed.

There is NOT ONE thing that YOU are doing that is

the slightest bit religious G. W.;

in fact, because of 9/11;

for YOU;

there IS no God !!

HE told me to tell you that since you’re seriously hard of hearing
and real slow in ' tha haid.'
He also said, and I quote,

“ Don’t make me come down there Georgie boy,

I will smite you sumpin' fierce and I promise you’re NOT going to like it !

Now GO to your room; you’re grounded – FOR LIFE !! “

I look forward to hearing from you.

9/11=PNAC Plot
" Remember,

http://erroneousbusczh.homestead.com/9-11Plot.html

Ch. 2. Radical Priest Shows Scorecard; 9/11; ( 1 ), USA; ( 0 )

So what's wrong with this picture ?!

Well, we didn't start out too good now did we?!

In our tiny 200 years, we've killed virtually all of the buffalo.
We've killed virtually all of the Native Americans.
We moved in and stole a country and dominated it like we had the right.
We've kidnapped, stolen and sold, owned and murdered slaves by the millions, and had a major internal Civil war.

We've Established and run the 5000 strong KKK and had five Presidents in it, (a despicable notion ).

We have the highest number of people in jails per capita of any country on Earth.
We've given birth to the greediest, most disillusioned generation on Earth; and attacked and murdered 100 thousand innocent people in Iraq.

We're in the top 25 murder rates in the world, with 5% of the global population
we consume 25% of the world's resources, and contribute 25% of the greenhouse gases.

We generate 40% of earth's garbage.
About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map!
2.8 million people in the U.S. still cannot read & write.
We continue to ignore the Kyoto agreement;
The Geneva Convention;
World Courts;
the U.N.;
And we have the audacity to ask on 9/11,

" Why would anyone do this to us?! "

Well, those are some good reasons, but that's not the end of the story.

I can speak from personal experience as a child in Europe, that we are despised by most of the world, as of the 50's, and that as a result of our activities during WW II.

Now I don't mean to imply that the liberatee's weren't happy to see 'us'. That isn't where the problem came from. The problem stemmed from the 'ring around the tub' that followed our presence; we wore out our welcome quite frankly, and we're STILL doing it !

We have 702 overseas bases in about 130 countries filled with 253,288 uniformed personnel, and another 6,000 bases in the United States.

We're a regular killing machine just waiting for some one to try something, an economy oiled by murder death kill, in fact I've heard the DOW Jones has a category called just that, "Murder Death Kill was up 78 points today and closed with a net gain of about 4%."

As I gather it; the world at large became disgusted with many things that our ambassadors, the G.I.'s, were doing. The wanton waste of goods, the arrogance, the loud drunk soldiers with no respect and no regard for the locals, laughing too hard and too loud at their own jokes and general shooting off of enlisted men's mouths and there you have what turned Europe off. And for the most part; Europe and the rest of the world is still turned off; even more so these days. As a young boy, I took a lot of abuse at the hand of children and adults the second I opened my mouth and they heard my accent; and they realized that they could lay one on me without retribution. You'd be surprised to see who'll drop a load on when there's no one around to defend an outnumbered young fella.

This is the welcome today's travelers will get only 10 times worse. Way 'da' go !

I may be wrong here, but from my view, we are the youngest nation.

We have NO culture. No society. No integrity. No respect. We 're stampeding around and trashing everything we touch like bulls in a china shop.

We barge into centuries old cultures like Asia in WW II or Iraq now like a bunch brat upstarts inflicting our self-impressed delusions onto thousands of years of growth and development without the slightest regard for whom we violate, insult or abuse in the process.

Our current runaway government is taking the " Ugly American " and building an indelible monument in the world mind, and it may never come down.

Some American people just don't understand what the rest of the world knows;

WE are NOT the greatest nation on earth;
We're big, but size doesn't matter now does it?!

As Baby Boomers we didn't derive our generational identity from the war as our parents did, and there wasn't much else around us to serve as guidelines or parameters for behaviour and growth; so we ventured into the unknown. The stars, the religions, the microcosms , aspects of the inner being.

We believed in UFO's without hesitation. We found out what star sign we were. We sought answers from Confucius, and Lao-Tzu, and Plato et. al.. We embraced Buddhism, Hinduism, and other older religions as bases for personal structuring. We explored all of the possibilities we could encounter, The Koran, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Zoroaster, the I-Ching, numerology, astrology, chiromancy, chiropractics, telepathy, clairvoyance, homeopathy, biorhythms..
Busy bunch weren't we ?!

Growing up in a country without any background didn't stop us from finding some, and thus we built our own; our Counter-Culture. It wasn't/isn't in opposition, but in tandem with all things on earth , a parallel world, a medium for survival from an ever more disconcerting plastic mania that was beginning to eat us up.

Still, that wasn't enough to sway our countries status quo, even today.
What we've ended up with is a nation where anything old is disrespected,
discarded and replaced by a "new";
"fresh off the production line";
"latest model";
"state of the art",
mantra of the day;
consumer buzzword generation;

Generations " X "-box, and " Y "-me , ( or is that " My " Wii ) PS-3, iPod, iPhone, MP3, ...

(" How did I EVER live without a cell phone that takes pictures, plays music, and access my emails ??!! " good Gawd, What's NEXT ?!!)

The shallowness of an entire cross section of kids is, however good for business, and that's the American Way isn't it?!

For a better bottom line, thousands are fired from their jobs.
For a better bottom line manufacturing is sent to third world countries.
For a better bottom line industries are being saved from Kyoto compliance.
For a better bottom line we have invaded the oil rich countries of Iraq and Afghanistan on the false pretext of chasing a man who was never convicted or found to be involved with 9/11.
For a better bottom line, our runaway government conceived, created and executed the 9/11 attacks on our OWN people in our OWN country!!!

WHO's bottom line??!!
What's unsaid by UNCED??!!

So now we're stuck in it. Our Scammander-in-Thief, who's already known for bankrupting everything he touched before his stolen Presidencies, is going to run us into the ground and leave a mess for someone else to clean up.

Worse than that, it's the political hot potato du jourand is reminiscent of a skinned knee.

Go on, you know you did it.
You picked and picked and worked your way around the scab without ever actually pulling it off.

We went from free love in stereo, to sex , drugs to rock 'n' roll, then we ended up with " Just say No ", The Raygunz who took sex out of everything and replaced it with violence, guns and murder dead kill.

Oh and they ran up a bill too, the Republicans ran our deficit up another minus $250 billion, but have no fear; this lost generation of video game mercenaries, all pre-trained by their own addictions to kill, maim, destroy, decimate, murder, deploy, and attack an unidentified enemy lurking inside their CD Rom, has but to wait for the military draft to give arms to their heightened response times, their sharpened reaction times, and completely blasé attitude toward virtual death from their years of practice with "Assault Team- Code Red";

or any other of the trigger happy, blood thirsty, rape, pillage and burn entertainment diversions that they're afflicted with all in the name of ' cutting edge technology '.

Without realizing it, the kids are training themselves on their own dime, to enact the global assault decreed by the New World Order, and to have no regard for the lives of others.

And what's to stop them?

They sure aren't looking to US for guidance. We're OLD. Things that WE believed in are all so YESTERDAY. The ' culture' we come from ( all 200 years of it ) tells them that war is honourable, conquering strange lands and murdering everyone is just fine, since we're Americans, after all.

Anything else ? Nope. I don't think there's any other message out there for kids to get.
The media is pimping war like it's ALL there is. The History channel is war, war, war.
The President is all out for war, the VP is saying everything's just fine with the war.
The news is, "We're a nation at war";
The dub sez, "Ima hwore president" right after being a lame duck golfer.
The army pushes ads into prime time viewing.

Kids that can't vote are enlisted at school in front of their peers;
who don't have a clue either.

It's made to look glamorous, exciting, important, patriotic.

Of course it isn't.

What isn't shown is the caravan of coffins, the endless parade of crippled and wounded, or the TRUE death toll; not just those who actually die in Iraq, but those who die anywhere in between; in transit.

So who wins?
No one except the war contractors.

Those who helped fabricate this bogus assault on the oil fields. Kelley, Brown, Root, Halliburton, Lockheed, Raytheon, Bechtel, et. al.
Then, when/if it's all over, WE pay the bill.

They go home with all the money and make themselves sick from drinking too much fancy Cognac, obese from over eating, gaseous from bad food combining, smelly from smoking Havanas, and suicidal from conscience reflux.
What good is THAT?! The world loses so that these rapists can gluttonize themselves.

That's what they wise guys learned in their smug little ivy-league colleges, over Coirvoisier and t-bones. They learned how to divide up the world like their own private game of " Monopoly ". Global Monopoly.
They snicker and smirk and chew on their affectations, munch on their pipes, and snap their suspenders and purse up their lips and smack them like they could just taste the money rolling in.

The "I am the centre of the Universe " club is in session.

Like lawyers, they're trained to find ways around problems. Ways that end up making them money. Ways that keep them in control. Ways that use the earth like it's some bottomless fountain of wealth just sitting there waiting to be sucked dry, without ever having to give anything back. "Anything goes", "Git da money at all costs", "damn them all", "we're going to take over", "yayy team", " America is the Best ! "

These fools think that the rest of the world revolves around us.
With that they graduate, or have their diplomas bought for them, and then go out into an unsuspecting world; smiling their evil little smiles; thinking their nasty little schemes , and what do you know?

That's how we got the PNAC, WTO, and our fraudulent state of government.

So what's to stop this atrocity?
And talk about wasted opportunity;

After 9/11 the world was with us in heart, mind and spirit; compassionate, understanding, concerned.

Now?

The world seems to wish we would get sucked into the core of the earth by the maw of a gaping sinkhole opening up like a zipper from ocean to ocean, and spurted out the other side of the earth by the puffing smokestack of a small volcano, as if from some flatulent planet.

Looks like we're batting zero to me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

http://erroneousbusczh.homestead.com/9-11Plot.html

Ch. 1. Radical Priest Decries Damage to Spirit by Neocons on 9/11

Did we ever think we'd find ourselves here of all places ?

Did we ever believe that things could get SO bad ?!

In 1961, during the Bay of Pigs, crisis I was attending an American Air Force Elementary school in Seville Spain, and the talk among the military 'brats' was that of their parents; as if preparing for World War III.

We practiced duck and cover in class and I spent the next 20 years living under the premise that we were all going to die soon. Somehow that had imprinted itself onto my young mind and just wouldn't let go, and as the years went by I accidentally found myself practicing duck and cover scenarios in my mind wherever I was at the time.

In 1963 while passing through New York City on our way to Australia, we stopped to visit the U.N. building and were there when John F. Kennedy was shot. I saw grown men in suits panicking, rushing around, clearing the building with tears running down their faces, and in the echoes of the huge vacuous lobby I heard people screaming and crying in horror as we were led out of the building. Outside, the flags of the Nations were being lowered to half mast and soon after, as we walked, the news that our president had died, reached the streets.

I still get shivers remembering this. I had never seen grown adults bawling. All over the place there were people in tears, rushing hurriedly to unknown places, nursing a pain beyond my comprehension. In my lifetime I still believe that this was the moment when our innocence was lost. As a nation we had crossed over into a dark and ominous place, never to return; yet crippled by this burden we made our way down to greater depths of despair and horror. With this we have all lived and grown older while the atrocities seem to have grown too.

As the 60's unfolded we faced the unfathomable reaches of Cosmic consciousness and death by Viet Cong. Many of us went and died, many of us fled and many of us stayed, waited and protested. The greatness that we had become after World War II, had somehow turned into a living nightmare for us in some obscure, inexplicable death trap in an Asian jungle for some obscure political motive. Yet throughout this war, the strength of our generation and the thresholds we crossed were unprecedented.

We picked up the ball from the places our parents had left it and ran with it.

We opened a consciousness far exceeding the limits placed on us by society, and in the tide of Beatlemania and Woodstock we contemplated eastern philosophies and macrobiotic diets, tie dye and mandalas, fasting and yoga, re-incarnation and Karma.

We were full of colour and hope for humankind; as if we could wash away the evils of the world with a mere wave of a stick of incense. We nurtured a new horizon for ourselves, one of compassion and love, of equality and peace among men. We fully believed that the ills of the earth and of greedy men would be absolved if we could just love enough. We lived in lifestyles considered radical and alternate, based on sharing instead of greed, health instead of money, love instead of war. We grappled with esoteric concepts and comprised a group known as the Counterculture as we shed our capitalistic breeding for group awareness, self realization and inner peace. We were going to change the world for the better; once and for all.

After ten years and 50,000 of our peers had passed in Vietnam our efforts finally brought an end to the atrocity that had been waged over there and amidst the shame of an unscrupulous president the next chunk of our integrity and faith was crunched under the hand of the 'Man'.

Surely THAT was as bad as it could get!
Surely THAT was the end of evil and the beginning of our dream !
Surely we would live long enough to find out otherwise.

We are the Baby Boomers. Children of hope.
Sprouted from the Age of Aquarius and fed on the miracles of space and technology.
We eagerly embraced our future with power, strength and numbers enough to correct the ills of man and secure our planet from any more unnecessary suffering and death.

WE knew a better way.
WE lived a better way.
WE have lost our way.

On September 11th 2001, any remaining vestiges of hope we had clutched onto were yanked from us by the maniacal fat cat cartel that has seized our globe in their lust to own and control everything that is not theirs; from the air we breath to the constitution that runs in our veins, from the thoughts in our minds to the words that we may or may not speak, from the truth we know and the privacy we value to the peace, freedom and righteousness that we stand for.

Those vile men who have stolen and sold our nation from within; the unscrupulous, treasonous politicians; the blasphemers who use the word GOD like it's either a magic sword or a secret password, the rapers of Faith who suddenly become pious while passing a church on their way to a whorehouse, the unworthy and unholy members of groups like the KKK, PNAC, WTO or GOP, the traitors in our own ranks, our own governing body, the corporate deviant - the anti-christs within. "

The ways of peace and love have been stripped to the bone and ground up for cannon fodder. The ways of fairness and equality have been eaten by the greedy and defecated into huge mountains that block out the light.

Humankind has done the worst it could have done and despite all of our awareness and consciousness we have failed to intercede.

We are to be forgiven though, because a force of mans nature is at play here and I shall describe to you what it is.
For simplicity's sake I shall describe two entities.

A peaceful man and a greedy man.

The peaceful man has spent his time on Earth collecting his answers from within, seeing peace as his goal and working in harmony with the world around him. He knows himself, he knows the difference between right and wrong and adheres to a rigid code of behavior. He respects the world and all living things, he's content with the way things are and is happy living in his peaceful world.

The 'greedy individual' has spent his time collecting money or power or both. He is a barren wasteland within, seeks no answers, doesn't even know where to start; so he runs from his inner pain and conceals his anger at the universe for being robbed of inner peace by raping and pillaging anyone who crosses his path.

His goal is to accumulate power and wealth as a panacea for inner turmoil. The drive that he experiences is that of life and death, yet he takes no time to live and has made no preparations to die. His soul is tormented by his unhealthy quest yet he feels the only way out is to collect more; at any cost. His drive for power is desperate and merciless. He will stop at NOTHING. He forsakes his conscience, his morals, and his Earth.

So, a peaceful man or woman who crosses his path doesn't stand a chance. He will not violate his morals, he will not cheat, pillage or burn. He will not kill and thus, when faced with this rabid dog of a human being, he is slain.
And so it is; ' Gods, Fearing Men' are slain.

We, the generation of hope; the bearers of good news and global consciousness, healing and long life; are slain by the sword of the greedy who have murdered, cheated, lied and stolen their way into power.

This is a sad thing that man has done. Especially this American Man ! HE has taken this planet and thrashed it beyond survival. Of all of the good things that the mind of man has conceived, it is the evil in men's hearts that strikes the death blow to us all.

The greedy have amassed and hoarded more wealth than they could ever consume if they lived for a million years, while the poor die by the thousands every day.

On 9/11 we were witness to the grossest most heinous act ever conceived of festering puss filled minds; the shared thought form that urged these soulless men to plan and execute an attack against our own to incite a war somewhere else.

Of course it was a home spun maneuver.
How else could we have been warned and not acted?
How else could our president continue staring blankly at a book when he was told?
How else could all of the elements have been controlled?
How else could the evidence be concealed?
How else could the rage be aroused except by the most primal incitement of our national pride?

And to what end?

Another pointless war in our lifetime.
A war executed on borrowed money that will not be repaid as long as we live, and very likely not in the shortened lifetimes of our children either.
A war that is running up a sand dune, with lives and hope lost in quicksand.

In return we have had our nation crippled and hobbled to a point of no recovery, teetering on the edge of oblivion on a planet that cannot survive long enough for the damage to be undone; a wanton and pointless waste of nations and resources on an earth already manacled to an irrecoverable handicap of gross consumption and egomaniacal absurdity.

Instead of doing something good, the rogue powers have chosen to continue rushing to our inevitable demise like a pack of psychotic lemmings.

Powerless, broken and despairing we can only watch.

There is NO hope.
There is NO choice.

WE have failed. Our youth is gone, our power is gone; our dreams are shattered, and death is knocking on our door; we might have done something good.

We didn't.

WE ARE DOOMED

Radical Priest"- "Too Many Crooks Spoiling the Cloth"

During my 40 year freelance tour through the worlds religions I discovered two things.
The first is that basically they're all saying the same thing, and the second is that for the most part the followers of these various religions; especially the western ones, have become so wrapped up in the text, imagery and icons of their chosen 'God' that they have in fact, not only completely missed the point, but that they have become brainwashed to a point of absurd and lethal psychosis.
