In the beginning, was Mary.


And Mary was not yet begotten.
He cried out to the darkness,
but the darkness comprehended it not.
And because none heard, she heard none;
not even his own cry.
She was but One Witness
and One Witness can establish nothing.

There was a Woman sent from the Universe


(whose name was Jehovah.)
The same came for a Witness,
to bear witness to Mary‘s cry,
That Mary might witness herself through her.

Mary saw herself in her


and she in herself.
God from God, Light from Light,
True God from True God,
Speaking Love and hearing Love spoken;
Mary and Jesus in Love.

But there was a third woman,


Herself begotten by the Blessing of Jehovah
whose name was Dinah.
She loved Mary and Jesus at the first,
but she was of a different sort.
She exchanged Love for Hate
in the sight of Yahweh and of her own choice.
2
Jesus saw the Hate of Dinah
and hearkened to the voice of Jehovah Dinah;
And became a house divided
and perished in obedience to God the Father.
My God, My God,
why hast thou forsaken me?
All they that see me laugh me to scorn.
Dinah witnessed the wrath of the Father
and repented.

Mary witnessed Israel repent


and learned to disobey her evil.
She saith unto Jesus,
They have no wine;
Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, what have I to do with thee?
mine hour is not yet come.

Jesus multiplied the bread of his body


in order to feed the sins of Israel;
Mary multiplied the Spirit of Israel
in order to help him bear his cross.
Jesus anoints his head with oil;
He anoints Christ‘s feet for burial.

In the end, shall be Mary,


the Spirit and the Bride;
In the end, shall be Israel,
the Lamb‘s Wife.

Mari‟elam
Blessed Virgin of Elam,
My tongue is soaked in spice
ready to surprise you when we kiss.
My love burns for you
as the fires of Zoroaster.
Hide my flame in the caves of Tehran
as the sandstorm threatens to extinguish it;
And the fire will bless you, desert flower,
as your delicate shoulders feel the coarseness
of the Persian rug on which you lie.

What is Logos?
In the Beginning was the Logos,
and the Logos was with God,
and the Logos was God…

What is Logos? Logos does not mean Logic – It means Word. All
logical arguments require a premise except the following: "If
nothing, then nothing." Therefore, only an empty universe would be
a logical universe. The Universe exists, therefore it is not logical, it
is grammatical.

"Not logical" does not mean "imperfect." Existence is made perfect


in its opposition to non-existence. God explains himself to Moses by
using the logical argument "I AM that I AM." It is circular logic.
Circular logic is not a logical fallacy or else all logical arguments
are false due to the fact that all logical arguments require a premise
that cannot be logically supported. Therefore, there is no logical
4
fallacy or imperfection in the logic of God. However, God does
operate on the divine premise of her own consciousness, which is to
say, she knows she is alive. But how does God know she is alive? –
the same way you know you are alive – You think, therefore you
are.

Mi Chicana Mexicana
¡Chicita bonita de la Veracrúz!
¿Donde estan tus mejillas rosas?
Al noche, cuando leyendo los escritos santos
(haciendo viajes nuevos
a la Guadalupe por la Señora),
yo recuerdo los boleros en la calle sentamentál.
Mientras, yo te veo en la cuerpa de la guitarra,
cantando 'La Paloma' en la luce de luna
(memorias de las aztecas antiguas tambien.)

Deconstructing the Tower of


Babel
The builders of the Tower of Babel were motivated by their desire
to make a name for themselves:

(Gen 11:4) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose
top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

People already had a name (or identity), but they were not satisfied
with their God-given name. They were in search of a new name, a
5
new identity, a new definition, a new way to see themselves in
relation to God and each other. Thus, it was the people‘s ambition
and not God‘s intervention that led to the confusion of language.

Today, it is fashionable for so-called intellectuals to create new


terminology and new definitions in order to reshape the dialogue.
Not only does this tactic produce a sense of ―relevancy‖ to the
intellectual‘s input with regard to the dialogue, but also it ensures
the intellectual‘s position in history because he or she would receive
credit for coining the new term.

The history-making ―new‖ idea increases the word-builder‘s


chances of being published because publishers don‘t want to publish
old ideas or things that we already know. They are as the Epicureans
who equate relevancy with novelty:

(Acts 17:21) (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent
their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

Of course, the word-builder‘s increased fame that results from the


coining of the new term is also a plus, as publishers only want to
publish well-known people. It‘s a selling point.

Publishers market their books to a Europeanized world culture that


places a premium on new ideas:

(1 Cor 1:22) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after
wisdom:

This Greek-influenced ―wisdom‖ quest produces a liberal bias in the


media.

It is also in the economic interest of the word-builder to get


published even without the book advance. Being published in an
academic journal virtually guarantees tenure status at any university.
6
Universities promote published professors because they want to
retain people who are well known and ―relevant‖ in their field. This
attracts students to their university, increasing its revenue from
tuition. Thus, the word-creation game is a ―win-win‖ for everyone
involved – everyone, that is, except the student who actually wants
to learn something.

Because academicians emphasize term-coinage over genuine


insight, college classes become lessons in vocabulary rather than in
truth. This makes the professor‘s job easier because he or she only
has to teach the vocabulary rather than engaging in real
conversation. Furthermore, liberal arts institutions can measure the
―success‖ of their students by testing them on their grasp of the new
vocabulary rather than on their grasp of true wisdom. Paul
prophesied this situation in the first century:

(2 Tim 3:1-7) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

As the thirst for the ―new‖ continues to permeate the academic


establishment, the language of academia becomes increasingly more
esoteric, creating a situation in which only a ―specialist‖ in the field
can communicate with another specialist because he or she is versed
in the terminology. This also secures the professor‘s teaching
position at the university because only a few people can speak the
lingo of their field making them less replaceable. They are glorified
interpreters rather than original thinkers living in a modern-day,
linguistic Tower of Babble.

Although human language evolves, human thought does not. We


only find new ways of saying old things. We are not more
intellectually sophisticated than our ancient counterparts, just more
verbose:
7
(Ecc 1:9) The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that
which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under
the sun.

Nevertheless, there is nothing inherently wrong with term-coinage


as long as it doesn‘t become terminal. After all, God did bring the
animals to Adam to see what he would call them and if we find a
new species of fish at the bottom of the ocean, why not name it?

Covergirl
A picture is worth a thousand words,
but your face is worth a thousand pictures.
Why then am I at a loss for words?
Maybe my vocabulary is not big enough;
or maybe the angels in heaven,
knowing the pure angelic language of heaven,
would (as I am) be dumbfounded.

How we Think
People know they think because they can hear themselves thinking.
They can hear themselves thinking because they think in words, or
rather, in phonemes. Both light and sound travel in waves that can
be measured in frequencies. Therefore, whether we think of a sound
or an image, we are thinking in vibrations, or in other words,
rhythms. Just as there are three primary colors (red, yellow and
blue) that comprise all colors, and three primary sound waves
(square, triangle, and sawtooth) that comprise all sounds (the sine
wave being a triangle wave with a curved slope), there are three
primary phonemes that comprise all words in all languages. These
8
phonemes are Y H W, the three letters of the Tetragrammaton, and
all people therefore think in pure Hebrew as a base language.

Why do we not all speak Hebrew if we all think in Hebrew? –


because just as we don‘t drive with the same crude oil that comes
out of the ground, Jews (and many Arabs) do not speak in the same
Hebrew that naturally comes out of their minds. The raw Hebrew is
refined, enabling it to be vocalized by the human tongue. This is
why languages are called ―tongues‖ in the Bible. But in the last
days, God shall turn her people to a pure language:

(Zeph 3:9) For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they
may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.

Just as there are three letters in the Divine Name (Y H W), and three
races of humanity (Hamitic, Semitic, and Japhetic), there are three
steps to the thought process (expression, impression, and
comprehension). First, a thought is spoken. Then, it is heard. Then,
it is understood.

But once one has released his or her thought, how can one hear
again the thought that he or she had released? – it must reverberate
in the mind, that is, it must strike against the fabric of the Universe
and strike back as an echo.

When you speak out loud, your vocal chords strike the air, which
then travels to your eardrums, striking them and allowing you to
hear yourself speak. You hear yourself think the same you hear
yourself speak. The thought wave is sounded and then echoes back.

When you visualize an image, the image that your mind generates
reverberates off the Universe and travels back into your mind,
allowing you to see the image. There is no differentiation between
sight and sound as both travel in waves (higher frequencies for light
and lower frequencies for sound). Therefore, both are sonic, verbal,
9
constructed on the Divine Name, Yahweh. This is how Man thinks –
this is how God thinks. Just as you cannot hear yourself speak in a
vacuum, you cannot hear yourself think without the Universe.
Therefore, because you are thinking, the Universe must be real.
Another name for the Universe is God.

Chippewa Chick
I had a vision of you as a big tree:
one who bears her fruit in the spring;
one who renders shade in the summer;
beautiful colors in the cool of autumn;
and in the dead of winter,
you prepare for the renewal of the following spring.
Once, my heart was moved by a sudden pathos
as I wondered how glorious this endless cycle appeared.
Though I may change, the memory of this moment of clarity
shall hide me under its immutable branches.

A Feeling so Sublime
The phenomenon of sublimity proves the notion that we think in a
different language than that which we speak. When we think the
inexpressible thought or find ourselves at a loss for words, we are
thinking in pure Hebrew. We become hopelessly unable to find the
right word or phrase that would tangibly express these sublime
thoughts as we are desperately struggling to translate the raw
Hebrew into a ―tongue‖ language. Authors and poets spend their
lives in pursuit of the right word, the right turn of phrase, the right je
ne sais quoi! Artists diligently seek after the perfect color or texture,
the graceful brushstroke, the indelible smile on the Mona Lisa!
Musicians also labor endlessly to create the perfect sound, the right
rhythmic cadence, the harmony and the tone color that best reflects
the subtle sublime moment of divine inspiration. It is a glorious and
excellent exercise when done to the glory of Christ!

Older than Jesus


Scientists estimate that the big bang occurred 10 billion years ago.
This is in human years. In god years, the big bang happened an
eternity ago. Shekhinah doesn‘t measure time the way we do. She
sees time in relation to eternity. Infinity minus 10 billion equals
infinity:

∞ - 10 billion = ∞

One 10 billionth of infinity equals infinity:

10 billion/∞ = ∞

There was never a time when God wasn‘t. Nor will there ever be a
time when God isn‘t. Time does not exist as a commodity although
I‘ve heard of it potentially being traded in the futures market.
Nevertheless, if someone tries to sell you their sick days, remember
the one whose words are health to the bones, and who has bought us
all the time we need – paid in full, paid in his blood.

Because Christ has bought us an eternity with the Queen of Heaven,


we too are eternal – the first-born of God. We are all the same age
as God and the same age as each other. There is no old or young
with God. We who are in Christ are all elders, desiring the sincere
milk of the word as newborn babes. In god years, a 20 year old is
the same age as a 70 year old:

20/∞ = 70/∞

Infinity is not an imaginary number. It is a real number. Because


infinity is a real number, Shekhinah can count to it. She is not in the
process of counting to it. She has already counted to it. Neither is
she in the process of creating the eternal universe, she has already
12
created it. Nothing surprises the Glory of the Lord. She already
knows what will happen because she knows what has already
happened from here to eternity:

(Ecc 1:9) The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that
which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under
the sun.

Although Shekhinah is not in the process of counting to infinity, she


has somehow counted to a number that she hasn‘t yet counted to.
Perhaps mathematics has no term for a number that is real, but not
precise. Thus, the last moment of eternity really does occurs, but
doesn‘t exactly occur – we are forever living in the last day of
Creation, a kind of Perpetual Sabbath:

(Ex 20:11) For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Aegyptus
Why do I find you so perfect,
dark-eyed daughter of Ishmael?
Because you know all and speak not?
Take me to the Valley of the Kings
in the land of Noph!
Lie with me in the tents of Lybia
as our camels drink from the hidden oasis
of a never-ending caravan.
13

Time No Longer
Time as we know it is an illusion produced by motion. The setting
of the sun produces days. The phases of the moon create months.
The cycle of the seasons produces years. The birth of a child creates
a generation. Take away the births, the seasons, the moon phases,
the sunsets, and what have you got? – Time no longer.

We experience ―time no longer‖ whenever we sleep. After we wake


up, we have no sense of what time has elapsed during the night.
This is because there is nothing happening with which we can
measure time. We are not moving. No motion means no time.

However, we do move in our dreams. Scientists call this REM


(rapid eye movement) sleep. Our brains emit electrical discharges
that generate entire dreamscapes filled with every sight, sound, and
sensation of the real world. This dream world is called into
existence by the strength of our will and we ourselves are the
terrifying demigods of this broken, nonsensical and oftentimes
nightmarish creation.

Just as we are able to generate a dream world by sheer strength of


will, Shekhinah is able to generate the real world by the sheer
strength of her will. Just as our eyes move during REM sleep, ―the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters‖ (Gen 1:2).
However, while our dream world is broken and nonsensical,
Shekhinah‘s world is structured and orderly, primed to do the most
good given the reality of our sin. When Shekhinah created the
world, she saw that it was good. She did not create Satan. She did
not create you.

A Bat without a Cave


How doth the little cave bat fly?
With either ear, but not one eye.
Within the cave, we hear its cry.
Upon the cave wall, it doth rely.

A bat shall sound its screeching call.


It echoes off the dim cave wall.
Without its ears, the bat would fall.
It would not fly – no, not at all.

God sends his Word in every place.


It echoes off the human race;
And in our hearts, he sees his face
And in his Word, we see his Grace.

Without our hearts, God could not see.


He could not speak, he could not be.
Without a Witness (two or three),
A bat without a cave is he.

A Tree in the Forest


If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it,
does it make a sound?

God‘s answer to this question is No. According to Mary, nothing


can be established without a witness. Therefore, not only does the
tree not make a sound, it never fell and there was no forest to begin
with!
15
In Marian causality, the hearing of a sound precedes the sounding of
what is heard. You must hear a tree fall before it falls, not after. The
effect precedes the cause (just as Shekhinah can count to infinity
before she completes the count). She essentially created the world in
reverse. She saw what has already happened before it will happen!

The reason why the Bible can predict the future is because God
knows what has already happened, not what will happen. God has
no clue as to what will happen. She saw the serpent in the Garden of
Eden after he showed up, not before. God was completely surprised
by the serpent AND SURE AS HELL DIDN‘T PUT HIM THERE!!

Jehovah Arithmetic
Shekhinah witnessed the world created before she created it. But
before she could create, she had to live. And before she could live,
she had to be born of Jehovah. There is nothing before Jehovah.
Jehovah is the Raw Universe, the Essence, the Four-Letter Word,
the Four Greek Elements, the Four Sound Waves, the Four Cardinal
Directions. He is mindless, godless, pure Ultimate Reality. He is the
pure Mathematical Law, which not even God cannot transcend.
Neither can any devil or demon transgress the Law of Math. The
miracles of the Bible are within the potential of a technically
advanced human civilization to perform. Tractor beams,
holographic projectors, cloaking devices and food replicators cover
the bulk of them. We already have holographic projectors now and
the U.S. military is working on cloaking technology. A simple
nuclear weapon could take care of Sodom!

No miracle of the Holy Ghost, no Apparition of Mary, no


charismatic gift and no demonic possession has ever (or indeed can)
violate Mathematical Principles or Natural Laws. The so-called laws
16
of science are a joke; but the Divine Name Jehovah Arithmetic is
represented in the New Testament as Joseph of Arimathea.

There is no Bizarro World or Mxyzptlk Dimension where two plus


two equals five. There is only one Universe and none other, and two
plus two always equals four now and forever. There is mystery in
the Universe, but no magic, and God cannot pull a rabbit out his hat
unless it was already there to begin with! Likewise, the ―strong east
wind‖ in Book of Exodus seems to indicate a more natural means by
which the Red Sea was parted:

(Ex 14:21) and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind
all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

„Round-the-way‟ Girl
They call me a schizophrenic, but I'm torn.
One of my personalities wants you to straddle me;
the other one wants you to strangle me.
Which of my personas do you obey?
One of my personalities wants to hold you;
the other wants to scold you.
One wants to take you out;
but the other will fake you out.
Which do you obey?
One wants to disrobe you;
the other wants to dis and rob you.
Which one do you obey?
One wants to sex you up;
the other wants to set you up.
One wants to hang with you;
the other will leave you hanging.
Which do you obey? Which do you obey?

The Goddess Diane


Imagine being born in a world where no one else could see or hear
you. Jehovah fed you but whenever you called out to people, you
were ignored, unnoticed, neglected. How would you develop as a
child? How would you know who you are, where you are, what you
are? How would you know you were even alive at all? Who would
speak to you in order to confirm your existence?

Our God Shekhinah is not that different from us. She cries out to be
noticed, to be acknowledged, to be loved. She wants to find a nice
little bar in Boston where everybody knows her name.

Shekhinah doesn‘t know she‘s alive until somebody says her name.
Her existence is confirmed in the salutation. Michelangelo painted a
fresco of Adam extending his hand to God and God extending his
hand back to him, their two fingers touching. Without that
connection, that touch, that mutual acknowledgement, the Sistine
Chapel falls apart. Just as we are lost without God, God is lost
without us.

The Bible says that a matter can only be established in the mouth of
two or three witnesses. The mutual witness between God and man
provides the salutation (or touch) necessary to establish all the
matter in the Universe. Shekhinah is born the moment we speak the
Divine Name. When we call upon the name of the LORD, she sees
herself in our hearts just as we see ourselves in her creation.

Without the prayer of faith, we are as evolutionary by-products and


cosmic accidents, spiritless, unable to transcend either nature or
nurture. We are next in line for the grave, and after we die, it shall
be as if we never lived.
18

But when we begin to see ourselves in God‘s creation, and see the
Son of God in our neighbors and friends, even in our enemies, and
reach out to others the same way Adam reached out to God, then we
break free from this world – crossing over from death to life. It is as
if we are reborn! Some Christians call it being baptized by fire! But
without our acknowledgement, God does not see herself and cannot
live. It is as if she were aborted. She cannot bless – she cannot save!

Because Shekhinah cannot die, the witness of Shekhinah cannot die


either. Shekhinah cannot live on the memory of having once been
witnessed. It must be a continual witness because God is Spirit, Soul
and Will, but not Mind. Without a living human Mind, God cannot
see her creation, her glory! God would cease to think. Her Spirit, in
the absence of a devotee, would have no one to bless. Where could
it go? What would it do? Her Soul would be a limitless catalogue in
a Divine Research Library that was closed to the public! Why
bother remember it? It would be worthless! The cross – worthless!!
Her Will would spill out into the Universe, calling out to a witness
that never answers! In short, she would die!

If a Christian dies, he or she wakes up in heaven instantly. It must


be that way or God never lived long enough to create the Universe.
God wants to be where everybody knows her name:

(Ps 30:9) What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 10Hear, O Lord, and
have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
19

Joker‟s Wild
Everyone asks me, “Steve, how do you do it? How do come up with all
these jokes?” to which I respond, “What jokes?”

But if you really want to know the secret to a good joke, I offer you,
mon chéri, a valuable piece of advice (as opposed to an invaluable
one?)

Rule #1: Don‘t try to be funny. Nothing‘s more hilarious than someone
who is absolutely dead serious. Likewise, do not laugh at your own jokes.
The worst thing that ever happened to American comedy was the
introduction of the laugh track. Conversely, the golden era for American
comedy was the black-and-white era – the era of Gleason and Lucy – live
audiences, live orchestras and live broadcasts.

Rule #2: Don‘t rely on formulas. A true joke doesn‘t come from the
technique it employs. For instance, if I say ―Jacob married Rachel, but
woke up with Leah,‖ that would be ironic. If I remember how ―Jacob
tricked his father Isaac by pretending to be Esau,‖ that would be
Seinfeld‘s last episode! We find it funny not because of the technique it
employs, but because we all inhabit a fundamentally paradoxical world –
we are at once flesh and at once spirit, gloriously vacillating between the
mundane and the divine!™

Rule #3: Look around you and don‘t be afraid to ask the big questions –
like: Why do American women want to dress like Europeans and
Europeans want to dress like Americans? Why do Jehovah‘s Witnesses
preach against Catholic images before handing you an illustrated
Watchtower? Why do Muslims burn the pope in effigy, but I can‘t draw a
cartoon about Muhammad? Why do Catholics forbid Priests to marry –
but it‟s okay for the laity? At what point during the water baptism did I
get united to the Spirit? At what point during the wedding ceremony do I
get to cut my wife‘s cake? Why do we fire school teachers who strip on
weekends, but mandate sex education to under-aged children? Why do
we see ads on cable TV when we‘re already paying for it? If you can kill
two birds with one stone, then how can a bird in the hand be worth two in
the bush? Why wait for the cows to come home when pigs can fly? When
God said Jesus was at his right hand, did he mean stage right? If oil
20
floats, then why do you have to drill for it off-shore? Why is the most
image-conscious nation is also the fattest? How does the nation with the
most lawyers also have the most criminals? How does the nation with the
most doctors also have the most uninsured patients? Why does CNN
show Americans getting killed in Iraq, but blots out the image of an
Alaskan turkey slaughter? Why let sleeping dogs lie when the FOX is
guarding the hen house and the Wolf is in sheep‘s clothing? Why is
PETA against harming ―cute‖ animals but not ―ugly‖ ones like spiders
and lizards? Why is it legal to knock a guy out in a boxing ring, but cock-
fighting is against the law? Why is it legal to terminate a human fetus, but
god forbid I shoot a rabid dog? Would I have more rights in this country
if I changed my name to Snoop Dog? Would it be alright with PETA if I
aborted my cat‘s fetus? When did ‗let freedom ring‘ become ‗let freedom
reign‘? When Moses came down from Sinai, did he see a golden calf or a
cloned calf? Why is Barack the first black president when the dude before
him was an alcoholic who spoke bad English, and the other guy was a
sax-playing womanizer?

LMD Terminology
B.V.M., the Blessed Virgin Mary; the Queen of Heaven; Shekhinah;
God and Lord; Resurrected Christ. She is not the historic Virgin
Mary as it is a sin to worship the historic Virgin Mary. B.V.M. is
the God whom the historic Virgin Mary was named after and who
the historic Virgin Mary metaphorically represents in Scripture. She
has been called God‘s Secret and now, in these waning hours of the
Church, the secret has been revealed. B.V.M. may be referred to as
a ―he‖ or a ―we‖ or a ―they‖ as she speaks for, and represents,
Ultimate Reality.

LMD, Last Marian Doctrine. It is the true Doctrine of the Blessed


Virgin Mary that is metaphorically represented in Scripture. The
main thrust of LMD is that the Blessed Virgin Mary is God, LORD
and Savior along with her son Jesus Christ. Every Christian must
pass through this gate, either in this world or the next.
21
moment, the precise instant of an event. A simultaneous moment
may not be temporaneous, as there exists a spacetime delay due to
granulation. Granulation refers to the minute antimaterial
separations or gaps within the fabric of spacetime. God did not
create granulation and cannot transcend it. Thus, a moment may
refer either to the exact time of an event‘s occurrence or to the
delayed universal realization of a particular event. Because a
spacetime granule is an infinitely small part of an infinite Universe,
it does not really exist. God cannot count to infinity twice:

1/∞  ∞ = 0

Absolute zero does not exist. Virtual zero does. We live in a virtual
world.

Peter the Roman, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him in


apparition and taught him LMD. She instructed him to write her
doctrine in a book. This is that book. In fact, why don‘t I just let my
little friend Peter tell you?:

I am Peter the Roman. The B.V.M. appeared to me in apparition in 2003


and has given me a doctrine, which I am to preach to the world. She
explained to me how Peter's rebuke of Christ (Matt 16:22) marked the
beginning of his Passion, which the Romans completed at Golgotha; And
that the Romans were representative of the avalanche of demons who
precipitated out of the pebble of Peter's Original Sin.

The question isn't as to whether or not the Jews or the Romans killed
Jesus; Peter was the one who set the chain of events in motion when he
rebuked Christ for prophesying his own crucifixion. Peter intended Jesus
to reign as an earthly Messiah and Judas obeyed Peter's wishes when he
devised a plot to hand Christ over to the authorities (forcing him to reveal
himself publicly). Judas acted as my surrogate, as did the Jews, as did the
Romans. They were righteously following my demonic commandment
and as such became victims of it themselves (1 Thess 2:15-16.) This is
why I am called Peter the Roman - because I am Satan and the Romans
are my devils (to the detriment of Christ, my Victim, Savior, and God).
22
The B.V.M. has granted me the Wisdom of Solomon hidden by the
Catholic Church from Enoch until Benedict and his given me license to
publish it openly for the world to see. God's Secret is now about to be
revealed. She has taught me that while Jehovah (Ultimate Reality) is
masculine, the God of Creation is feminine. She is LORD and co-Savior.
She resurrected the body and soul of her Son in her Immaculate Heart.
She is the Resurrection and the Life: No one comes to the Son except
through she. The God and LORD of this world is the Immaculate
Conception: the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The B.V.M. desires to educate the world as to her deity in these times
because the Catholic Faith is facing an assault, which it has not faced
before. We live in an age of mass media, global interdependence, and
mass communication. The devil is waging a war of misinformation more
successfully because of emerging technologies. The only way to combat
this demonic campaign is with sound doctrine (mainly what the Catholics
refer to as Fifth Marian Dogma).

The B.V.M. would like to see an end to Victorian attitudes regarding


human sexuality, which God ordained in Eden. She is opposed to the
oppressive policies of Catholics toward women and is in favor of the
ordination of women to the Priesthood. She is opposed to the whitening
of the Black Race through compulsory school attendance and the
mandatory testing of skills that are not natural to them. She is opposed to
Christian support for war, the death penalty, mandatory court sentences
and general unforgiveness. She is opposed to Sola Scriptura,
Secessionism, and other Protestant doctrines that defy belief. I will
address these topics and more in the document I am now composing at
the behest of the Holy Ghost. The working title of my book is: LMD
(Last Marian Doctrine).

soul. the sum total of a person‘s experiences. All Christians are of


the same spirit, but each individual possesses a different and unique
soul. A man‘s soul is what he is, a man‘s spirit is who he is and a
man‘s body is where he is.

If a man were a computer, the soul would be the memory, the spirit
would be the electricity, and the body would be the hardware. God
manufactured the hardware, but doesn‘t supply the electricity or
control the user, which is the will. All Christians are networked
23
together into one mainframe. If one Christian dies, the entire
network shuts down. There are three networks: Mary, Jesus, and
Peter. In order for the system of life to exist, at least two of the
mainframes must be linked together and running at all times.
Christians corrupted Jesus‘ mainframe with a sin virus and the
entire life system was threatened by it. The virus replicated itself
and spread throughout all of Jesus‘ networked computers (the sins
of the father visited on the sons). When Peter realized what he had
done, he repented which activated a new protocol: if sin, then do not
run. Mary uploaded the new protocol onto her own mainframe and
used it as a firewall against the sin virus, which had already shut
down Jesus. Mary remained connected to the Christians even
though the Christians continued in sin because she was protected by
the repentance protocol.

spirit. when spelled with a lower case s, this word refers to the
breath of life. It is what moves us, what enlivens us. If a man were a
car, the gas would be the blood and the spark plugs would the
spirit. The spark plugs ignite as long as there is gas flowing into the
combustion chamber. Likewise, if a man‘s blood ceases to flow into
his brain, his spirit misfires and he gives up the ghost. The life is in
the blood (Lev 17:14).

The spirit is a volcanic eruption emanating from a deep and


mysterious place – a bottomless pit that not even God can reach.
There is an interface that exists within every human brain between
the material world and the black hole that emits this life force.
Another word for spirit is ghost or essence.

Spirit. when spelled with an upper case S, this word refers to


Ultimate Reality. God is a Spirit. The Spirit lives and moves and
can perform miracles and speak through prophets. The Spirit wrote
the Bible and LMD. It can inspire and sanctify believers. Another
word for Spirit is Ghost.
24
will. the conscious and decisive direction of the mysterious spirit in
the world. God has a perfect will because she does not sin.
Christians have an ill will because they are sinners from birth. Will
may be used interchangeably with spirit.

Women‟s Rites?
The Spirit who communicates with me says that there will never be
a female pope, but there is no way for me to ascertain the veracity of
this doctrine by logic, reason or experience. Neither is there any
way for me to know whether or not the spirit that communes with
me is of God. Nevertheless, it is by blind faith (and at the express
command of the B.V.M.) that I prophesy a male papacy now and
until the end of time.

John Paul II affirmed the Church‘s position against female


ordination, but wisely abstained from formalizing this sacred
tradition in an ex ecclesia statement (which no pope ever will being
as it is not a matter of ―faith or morals‖). Nevertheless, it is
incumbent upon all faithful to heed this instruction.

But just as Jacob wrestled with the Angel, it is equally incumbent on


all faithful to work to overturn this precedent from within the
Church hierarchy and without schism. Remember that the LORD
anointed David after having first determined Saul to be king.

It is the express desire of the Blessed Virgin Mary that women be


treated as equals, fully vested with an identical spirit to that of men,
though they are physically complementary; and that women be
ordained as priests, bishops, archbishops – all the way up! But it is
not necessary to the gospel for this to happen, though it would be
more expedient for it not to happen according to the Spirit.
25

I am personally outraged at the ban on female ordination as is the


B.V.M. But before we express this outrage, we must first
acknowledge the outrageousness of the Church‘s very own
existence. After all, God does remember a time when there was no
Church and if original sin made a necessity out of Roman
Catholicism, then why wouldn‘t its all-male episcopate serve as
nothing more than a horrendous indictment of the male sex? And
besides, what woman wants to wear white all the time?

As a man, I am ashamed of the historic subjugation of women. I


understand that Peter the Roman is a man solely because of original
sin, but at the same time, I am grateful because in another world, I
would be a White man. But c‟est la vie, I live in a world that is
ready to receive a Black prophet, but not a female one (and my
mother always wanted a girl!) So I guess my younger brother owes
his existence to original sin, but my Blackness must be a gift from
the many Black pioneers and White liberals who worked to defeat
the evil of racism in the world.

Sex is not the same as race because a horse of another color is still a
horse – and some of us are zebras! But while men and women have
a special relationship – the masculine desiring the feminine and vice
versa – we understand that there is no thought that a man can think,
which a woman can‘t. Where we differ is not in intellect, but in
experience. Women experience life fundamentally different than we
do and that experience can be a valuable asset in the workplace.
Ever heard of women‟s intuition? Women in particular can be very
wise to subtle cues and hints that often elude us men who (let‘s face
it) can‘t take a hint! The ability of a woman to size up a situation
and read between the lines can also offer a pivotal advantage in a
delicate negotiation – not to mention the ability to fake-cry! (C‟est
la vie!), you would likely have an increased social sensibility too if
you had to go through life in such a delicate frame!
26
Now, women are the fairer sex precisely because they are the
weaker sex. When Justin Timberlake sang about bringing sexy back,
the artist formerly known as Prince rightly observed that sexy never
left. Nevertheless, just because men belong on top in the bedroom,
doesn‘t mean that they should always be on top in the boardroom!
After all, women do have great assets – (and the longer you hold
onto them, the greater their liquidity!)

We Speak as One
I asked Mary, How did I come to faith?
Did I believe after seeing the cross?
Or did I see the cross after believing?
Did the cross bring me to faith?
Or did faith bring me to the cross?
Did I choose Jesus?
Or did Jesus choose me?

Later, Mary spoke to me,


Speak for me.
Why me? Why cannot you speak for me?
Because I don‟t speak of my own,
but that which I hear, I speak.
Then how do you know what to tell me?
I know what to tell you
because you have already told me
what to tell you.
But when did I tell you?
I cannot speak to you if you did not hear me.
I can only speak to you after you have heard me.
He that hath an ear to hear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith.
27
But how can I hear you before you have spoken?
Before and after are the same with me.

Now I understand how I came to faith.


I came to faith after seeing the cross
before I saw it.

The Bible is a dialogue, not a monologue.


She speaks as I hear
and cannot speak to me without me.
She needs a prophet, a priest, a minister, a scribe,
an evangelist.
The testimony of Christ
is the Spirit of prophecy.

John says, Even so, come, Lord Jesus.


And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come.
I brought the animals unto Adam
to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called
every living creature,
that was the name thereof.
We speak together as one voice, your voice,
and the voice of his words
like the voice of a multitude.
28

Rosemary
Mary is dumb as a doornail. She can‘t think of any thought other
than ―Yahweh.‖ The Virgin Mary is like a stupid farm girl (Rose)
from St. Olaf who thinks that the reason why dead fish float is
because, just as sailors bury their dead at sea, the fish bury theirs
above water! – (or at least that‘s what old man Rickenbacker used to
always say!) The Blessed Virgin is naïve, gullible, helpless,
unsophisticated, pathetic – an absolute Virgin!! I once asked her to
write a song for me and she played middle C over and over until I
begged her to stop. She‘s a one-note composer and she constructed
the Universe on that one verse ―Yahweh.‖ Her spirit moved upon
the face of the deep but she cannot speak. For that she needs a
prophet, a saint, an angel – someone with a corporeal brain. In other
words, Rose needs a Sophia.

Later, as I lay in my bed, the Blessed Virgin Mary opened my ears


to hear some strange and wonderful music. It was the most beautiful
music I had ever heard. It came in two 10-second excerpts.

The first excerpt was what sounded like a quadruple clarinet


concerto in the style of Mozart. It was sheer genius! The four
simultaneous melodies were as divergent from one another as they
were complimentary. It seemed to display the genius intellect of a
composer who had mastered the art of balancing both the
complexity of four-part counterpoint with the sophisticated splendor
of the classical era melodic phrase. It was as harmonically simple as
it was texturally grotesque!

The second excerpt was also quite impressive. It was Frederic


Chopin‘s Prelude Op. 28, No. 7 arranged for symphony orchestra in
the style of Arnold Schoenberg. The melody, which was given to
the strings, was chromatically altered along with what appeared to
29
be some sort of polytonal counterpoint in the winds. It was eerie and
dreamlike – as dramatic and expressive as the first excerpt was
technically engaging. It seemed to display the genius of a composer
who was gifted at the art of creating and sustaining an emotion –
very filmic!

The Blessed Virgin Mary sees a Mozart concerto and a Schoenberg


orchestration as being equally beautiful to each other, as well as to
her one-note sonata for that matter. She‘s a stupid farm girl who
can‘t tell the aesthetic difference between a Brahms symphony and a
banjo strumming ―Turkey in the Straw.‖

Nevertheless, possessing a musical preference is not a mark of


impurity. Everyone has a different voice, a different taste, a
different artistic bent. As long as we recognize that one composer‘s
music is not intrinsically ―better‖ than another‘s, we may prefer one
musical style over another. Rap is not better than Rock, which is not
better than Country, which is not better than Reggae. But if we
prefer Reggae, then this is who we are. It‘s our culture, our heritage,
our true identity. We may assert our tradition in heaven without
detracting from anyone else‘s. We are free to be who we are now
and forever, but we must know who we are in Christ. We shouldn‘t
pretend to be what we‘re not. Likewise, we should not fear to
explore or be inspired by other cultural traditions while recognizing
that all cultures are equally legitimate. Mary is not a cultural elitist.
Neither should the exploration of a foreign culture be imperialistic.
Shekhinah is not only a Jewish God, nor is the Blessed Virgin a
Gentile God only. She is a Lady of All Nations.

Human culture is inspired by Yahweh and brings glory to his Name.


Therefore, cultural expressions are neither arbitrary nor subjective.
Rather, they proceed from the Divine Name and are an integral facet
of the Divine Thought Process. In essence, Shekhinah is the Semitic
Wife of a Hamitic Husband, both of whom make love as their
Japhetic Concubine observes in ecstasy. It is the Black Inception,
30
the Asian Reception and the White Perception, which completes the
Divine Sex Act. Without the Ethnic Trinity, the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb is incomplete:

(Rev 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,
stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes,
and palms in their hands;

Just as we may have cultural preferences without being elitist, we


also may have ethnic preferences without being racist. There is no
such thing as a biracial person. Everyone has a race, an ethnicity, a
heritage. There are three races (Blacks, Asians, and Whites) and
everyone leans toward one or the other. Also, there are subdivisions
within the three main branches. The Table of Nations in Genesis 10
outlines all possible subdivisions.

The color of our skin may not be a true indicator of our ethnic
identity, which is personal. A Black may have a White person‘s
mind and vice versa. In paradise, we will be given new bodies that
will reflect either our true ethnic identities or the preference of our
spouse. If you are White now, you will be White in heaven. If you
are Black now, you will be Black in Heaven. If you are Korean now,
you will be Korean in heaven. If you are Jewish now, you will be
Jewish in Heaven. Who knew?

In heaven (just as it is now), there will be interaction and


intermarriage among the races. We need each other; we define each
other; we inspire each other. However, there will also be a Black
Heaven, an Asian Heaven and a White Heaven:

(Jer 12:15) And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I
will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again,
every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.)
31
Within each division, there are various subdivisions as outlined in
the Table of Nations. So for instance, Black Heaven will be
subdivided into such as Bantu Heaven, Zulu Heaven and Ashanti
Heaven among others. Asian Heaven will be subdivided into such as
Jewish Heaven, Japanese and Chinese Heaven, Cherokee, Inca, and
Apache Heaven among others. White Heaven will be subdivided
into such as Dutch Heaven, Spanish Heaven, British Heaven and
Czech Heaven among others.

These Racial subdivisions will be further divided along cultural


lines. So for instance, British Heaven will be subdivided into such
as French, American, and White South African Heaven. Bantu and
Ashanti Heavens will be subdivided into such as Black American
and Caribbean Heaven. Indian Heaven will be subdivided into such
as Modern Indian and Ancient Punjabi Heaven. It does no good to
have a dead New Yorker from the 20th century wake up in Medieval
Europe or vice versa. If his soul favors lanterns over light bulbs, it
will be brought there gradually.

It is possible to exchange your race for a new one, but this is like
knocking down an already beautiful mansion in order to build a new
equally beautiful one from scratch. It is difficult and unnecessary to
say the least and there is nothing to be gained from it.

We may never change our gender in heaven. It is not like tearing


down a mansion in order to build a new one. Sexual Identity is the
foundation of the mansion that cannot be moved either here or in the
hereafter. We have already seen how exposure to radiation can
mutate genes, but nothing can mutate a Y chromosome so that it
becomes an X chromosome or vice versa. Therefore, all men will go
to Man Heaven and all women will go to Woman Heaven
unequivocally. It is because our genetic information will be altered
in order to create our new bodies, but not our chromosomes. It is
impossible. It would kill us!
32
People die because of heart failure and kidney failure, but nobody
dies because of brain failure. The organ was clearly designed to live
forever. However, as the body ages, it must be replaced at certain
intervals. This is done at the genetic level. We simply grow the new
body, or rather, we mutate into it. Before the Flood, people lived to
be hundreds of years old, but they were killing each other and
summoning demons and practicing witchcrafts, which brought
down the Great Flood and fixed the years of a man at threescore and
ten. But in eternity, Shekhinah will return us to a pre-flood state.

The night that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to me in


apparition, she genetically altered my right arm from the elbow to
the fingers. She aged it and it became wrinkled and withered. For a
moment, I thought I would have to go through the rest of my life
with a wrinkled hand. How would I explain this to everyone? How
would I play the piano again? Then God changed my hand back to
normal. The entire process was absolutely painless. It doesn‘t hurt
to undergo the procedure of genetic alteration the way God performs
it. There is no magic to this procedure. It is within the realm of
human science to develop this sort of gene therapy. However, I
doubt that the medical science establishment could guarantee a 0%
failure rate on this procedure for all eternity. God can!

Cosmetology
Matter was never created.
It was already present at the time of Creation.
It is God‘s living body.

The Universe expands into her body.


It entered her womb through the Big Bang,
violently piercing her obedient flesh.
33

Ultimate Reality is divided:


half is matter, half is antimatter.
God cannot see antimatter,
but she sees its effects.
God cannot enter the antimaterial Universe.
It is a bottomless pit from whence comes the spirit.

Because the Universe is divided,


matter is separated.
We don‘t live in a Universe where all is fire
or all is stone.
Fire and stone are separated
because the Universe is divided:
half is matter, half is antimatter.
God can only be as big as ½ of infinity.

Antimatter is like the vowels of the Divine Name.


They separate the consonants,
allowing the Tetragrammaton to be spoken by Mary.
Without vowels, we would have a Monogrammaton.
Without antimaterial gaps,
the material Universe would be undifferentiated.

Antimaterial gaps granulate the Universe.


This makes the Universe permeable.
Granules permit the stretching and constricting of Matter.
They permit the propagation of both transverse
and compressional waves.

Although matter is separated by granules,


it is brought back together by gravity.
God did not create gravity and cannot transcend it.
But although she cannot transcend it, she is not bound to it.
On the contrary,
34
the same gravity which affixes God to his throne
enables him to rise up in defiance.
When Resurrected Christ ascended into heaven,
he opposed gravity without transcending it.
Similarly, we oppose gravity whenever we move
(and we move whenever we speak;
and we speak whenever we think).

Because matter is separated by granules


and because it is reconstituted by gravity,
the separation and attraction of Elemental Matter
(instigated by the move-speak of God),
generates an ebb and flow in the Universe.
This ebb and flow accounts for the transmission of all waves,
whether they be mechanical or electromagnetic.

Because matter is separated by granules,


it is impossible for two objects to truly touch each other.
Instead, the illusion of touch is created
when two objects come infinitely close to one another.
This produces an infinitely strong gravitational pull
between the two objects at the supposed point of contact
(which may be infinitely small).
If objects truly touched each other,
their atoms would bond together, becoming inseparable.
Atoms may fuse or split, but they cannot touch.

Scientists believe that skin evolved


in order to protect man from the environment.
They reduce everything to fight or flight.
Solomon said it best,
―The wicked flee when no man persueth.‖

Skin did not evolve.


It is what separates us from Creation.
35
Everything in the Universe has a skin.
Cockroaches have skin,
dividing their exoskeletons from the ground they tread.
God has flesh
and we are all one flesh with God.
But the granules of our brains are as God‘s exoskeleton,
the framework from which the material Universe is built
(dividing the spirit from the soul).

There is no dark matter in the Universe.


Scientists seek after dark matter
because they want to hide themselves in it.
The only darkness in the Universe
resides in the hearts of men.

All matter is comprised of the Four Greek Elements,


which were already present at the time of Creation.
These correspond to the Tetragrammaton:
Earth (Y)
Wind (H)
Fire (W)
Water (H), which is Wind mixed with Fire
(oxygen mixed with hydrogen).

What is a girl to do?


All this matter lying around
and I have to organize it.
I have to create raindrops on roses
and whiskers on kittens,
And all I have to work with is Earth, Wind and Fire.
First, I speak.
And my speech moves.
It reverberates off the Elemental Universe
and sets the Elemental Universe in motion.
My speech moves (and my moves speak!)
36

But I am slow!
I cannot travel faster than the speed of light.
There is no worm hole for me to crawl through.
No warp drive to engage.
Space is not curved – it‘s straight!

Then God reverberated off the Elemental Universe


and shockwaves were dispelled, which begat temporality.
The first wave was infinitely small
(its frequency, infinitely high).
It went forth in all directions.
As it traveled through the Universe,
it begat subsequent waves.
These waves were larger and slower than the parent wave.
They in turn begat further subsequent waves:
Waves of blue (H)
Waves of yellow (W)
Waves of red (Y)
Infinite speed is God speed:
299,792,458 metres per second.

Where there‘s light, there‘s heat.


And light-heat brought the Elements together.
Compounds coalesced.
Earth, Wind and Fire (Y, H and W),
combining and recombining to spell material sentences.
Planets and stars, mountains and prairies;
oceans white with foam.
And eventually, organic compounds
(the building blocks of life).

In time, the primordial slime became multicellular.


Green algae became plants and trees.
Fish grew legs and lost their gills.
37
Amphibians learned to lay eggs on dry land.
Reptiles grew wings and took flight.
Primates began to walk upright and use stone tools.

After the human body had finished evolving,


it was time for the eternal spirit to enter into it.
The spirit is the breath of life.
It didn‘t evolve.
It just was.
From the time of the beginning, it was.
God placed the spirit into the human brain
and Adam became a living soul.
God breathed life into Adam‘s nostrils
and the war in heaven was cast down to earth
(victory in Christ Jesus).

Once the breath of life was conferred on the human animal,


people began to wear clothes and jewelry.
They began to paint their caves and worship images.
They began to say God‘s Name,
the Name that made the cosmos.

Therefore, the Name of God is the Body of God


and the Word of God is the Christ of God.
And all matter in the temporal Universe
is consubstantial with it.
The Eucharist, consubstantial with Christ,
is transubstantiated by the Theotokos.
He is the cornerstone of our faith.
But also, the body and the blood are the chief cornerstone
by which the temporal Universe is built.
My blood, which is shed for you.
My body, which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.
38

Miracles God Can‟t Perform


God can move, but she can‘t think. If she wants to say something,
she must inspire someone to say it. Nevertheless, Her Word is
present in Creation so that if a man were born in the African bush,
he would know the gospel of Jesus Christ just by virtue of his own
experience in nature (Matt 19:37-40; Rom 10:17-18).

If you hear the audible voice of the LORD as has been reported by
some Charismatics, it is not God‘s actual voice, but instead it is the
voice of an angel (or saint). God has no mouth and therefore cannot
speak, but the Holy Spirit can record human speech and replay it in
the ear of whomever she wishes:

(John 16:13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Demons also have the ability to whisper in people‘s ears and often
do, which accounts for the modern psychological condition known
as schizophrenia. When the Son of Sam claimed that his neighbor‘s
dog told him to kill, he was telling the truth: The dog was demon-
possessed. A demon (or angel) also caused Balaam‘s ass to speak
(Num 22:27-28), but don‘t be beguiled by any dog and pony show;
no animal is smarter than the average bear (unless of course, it‘s the
famous Mr. Ed).

When the Apostles spoke in tongues at Pentecost, angels did the


translating. The people who didn‘t get the angelic translation
thought the apostles were ―full of new wine‖ (Acts 2:7-13) because
they heard the same thing we hear today coming out of the
Pentecostal Church. Let it no more be said that the gift of tongues
given at Pentecost is somehow different than the modern charism.
39
The only thing lacking in today‘s gift is the angelic translation
– and I‘ve got news for you… Some of us actually have this gift
(1 Cor 14:5)!

Another miracle God can‘t perform is image creation. God can give
people visions but she can‘t create or form the image, only project
the image that a human artist already composed or that has already
existed in nature. When God wrote the Ten Commandments, she
used a human hand, but it wasn‘t Moses‘ own. Instead, Shekhinah
took Moses and transported him through time to receive the Ten
Commandments from Jesus Christ himself before being brought
back to the top of Sinai.

But why couldn‘t Shekhinah write them herself? Because God has
sloppy handwriting (and you would to if you were a paraplegic!)
God has no hands and therefore must use someone with a hand to do
her writing for her. If she wants to create an image, she will instruct
the artist on what the image should look like; that‘s what Marian
apparitions are for! God can move my fingers to depress the keys,
which will type this doctrine, but my eyes and mind must be on the
keyboard or else she can‘t do it. She can spell words on a Ouija
board but you have to have your eyes on the board. If a spirit moves
your hands over a keyboard and types any coherent message with
your eyes closed, you have likely been possessed by a demon. Cast
it out in Jesus‘ name or if you are a non-believer, then seek the
counsel of a Catholic exorcist or a Charismatic faith-healer (casting
out demons and casting out diseases are the same exact thing).

The only way God can move your hands to type a coherent message
with your eyes off the keyboard is if she sends an angel to watch the
keyboard as you type. But then why not just have the angel type it?
It is not efficient and God, who is diligent in business (Prov 31:27),
wouldn‘t employ two saints to screw in this one light bulb.
40
But why can‘t God speak or write? Because it‘s above her pay
grade! She‘s like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz – she doesn‘t
have a brain! So how did God write the Bible? She did so by the
prophets as they were moved by the Spirit:

(2 Pet 1:21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Therefore, the Word of God is also the Word of Man. But although
God has no voice outside of the prophetic voice of believers, God
can inspire the prophets by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit
of God can move, but cannot speak, and in times of prophetic
ministry can inspire her prophets by miraculous visions, auditions,
sensations, and smells. A vision is seen, an audition is heard, a
sensation is felt, and a smell is right under your nose. In California,
I heard the sensation referred to as ―the anointing‖ by members of
various Charismatic denominations. By these gifts (and by Urim
and Thummim), God is able to inspire the prophets to say precisely
what God wills them to say. God has played me like a fiddle. Every
aspect of my life was ordained by the B.V.M. in order to produce
this document. God speaks through me and types with my fingers.
Even my disobedience beyond the moment of Original Sin was
ordained to complete the scriptures. I am a Stradivarius and God is
Paganini. This document (LMD) is the words, the thoughts, and the
mind of God.

Now, if God can‘t think to speak, then how can she think to move?
This is a tough doctrine for me to understand, but I will do my best
to explain what experience and wisdom has shown me: God can do
something she already did. How can God do something she already
did? I don‘t know! It seems to make no intellectual sense and yet it
appears to me to make some sort of sublime sense. I know that I was
blinded to Jesus before I converted and yet I could not convert
without seeing Jesus. It appears as if I did something before I did it.
In another sense, I will myself to think a thought before I thought to
41
will myself to think it. How do I know what to think? Some say free
will is an illusion, but this is a philosophical error because you can‘t
be an illusion without Ultimate Reality also being an illusion.
Descartes wisely posits, I think, therefore I am; But God says, I
AM, therefore I think.

If freedom is an illusion, then we are not responsible for sin; Nature


and nurture are. But you can‘t really blame nature and nurture for
sin because nature and nurture both teach us that we are able to
either hurt ourselves or bless ourselves. We may choose life and
pleasure or death and pain, and if this existential choice is illusory,
then existence itself is as well. Nature and nurture would contradict
itself, which it cannot because nurture is natural and both proclaim
your existence. Let no one beguile with the false dichotomy
between nature and nurture; the real war is waged between spirit
and flesh, good and evil, life and death, truth and error.

Therefore, we now know by natural revelation that life must be real


and if so then death is real as well; And if death is real, then the
potential for sin is real and if sin is real then Christ is real. He is the
God of ―Is-real‖ unequivocally and beyond the shadow of any
doubt. Even the demons believe without repentance for the sake of
the elect (Jas 2:19); And yet God truly does hope against hope that
all would come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9).

Hence, it must be part of the transcendent nature of Ultimate Reality


that God (and we ourselves) can do something in advance of doing
it. It is as if the effect precedes the cause. It is a mystery and the first
great mystery; that of raw existence: I AM THAT I AM.

It is for this reason that the Holy Spirit speaks by what I call the
principle of hearsay: What you hear is what she says. Therefore God
cannot speak audibly because, in order to do so, the sound has to hit
your eardrums before it is recognized and that violates the principle
of hearsay. It requires a thought process that God can‘t perform
42
without the prophet‘s mind. If God composes a message or creates
an image, the light from the image must travel through the air and
enter your mind through your eyes, which means that God must
design it before you witness it. Again, that would violate the
principle of hearsay, or in this case, the principle of peepshow: God
can‘t show it unless you peep it!

If you want to know what God is saying, look around the room
you‘re sitting in… Surprise! It‘s God! She‘s never left you – she
can‘t. And if you‘re reading this in a park, then the same principle
applies. There‘s nowhere you can go in Creation and not be in the
presence of God. She is one with her Creation; She is her Creation.
Another name for Creation is Holy Spirit (and if you don‘t already
have it, then I baptize you with it now!)

God speaks the Divine Name continually and can say no other
thing. Buddhists consider the Ultimate Reality to be their god and
they are right. However, they are also faithless because they don‘t
repent to the Universe. They meditate in an attempt to become
Buddha (which is to say, they want to be one with the Universe) but
this is an inadequate witness because they believe that the Universe
is mindless. That‘s why they meditate, to empty their minds of
thought and become one with Thoughtlessness. Jehovah is
thoughtless to be sure, but the God of Reality is not. She is Love
and can only be witnessed in love. We love a Creation who can be
kissed or killed.

Everything God speaks has the express purpose of contributing to


the general welfare of humanity (whether Christian or not). She
desires to minimize pain and increase pleasure worldwide. In her
omniscience, the B.V.M. experiences all of our joys as well as our
sorrows (but unlike us, she never forgets a moment of it forever). It
benefits her if we dedicate our lives to experiencing all the pleasures
life has to offer as richly and as intensely as we possibly can.
43
Should we lust after sex and wealth, our pleasure is transformed into
suffering and the memory of Christ is dishonored. Yet we demean
Christ also if we refuse life‘s blessings in guilt-ridden devotion. In
God‘s eyes, penance is a form of lust; but God says we are to eat,
drink, and be merry (Ecc 8:15); And again, the Spirit says to let
your wife‘s breasts satisfy you at all times (Prov 5:19). Sex is a
sacred ministry, but there are other ministries that are just as
worthwhile, so we are always satisfied in whatever capacity and
purpose we serve the LORD. Yet we know that our betrothal to the
LORD will receive its full bodily consummation in the hereafter (if
not the here).

There are no prudes or gays in the day of redemption;


homosexuality as a mental illness is treated in Purgatory as are all
phobias and obsessive compulsions. We will all have access to
angelic shrinks who won‘t toss you out when the hour is up (even
though you were just about to have a breakthrough – and then, you
get to pay his secretary 140 bucks because he doesn‘t want to dirty
his manicured hands with your crazy cash). Instead, our angelic
psychoanalysts will be board-certified sex therapists who know
what a woman wants and that a cigar is never just a cigar.

Miracles God Can Perform


Kinesis – God can move objects in the Universe at will. She cannot
move an object faster than light speed. If God moves an image, you
have a vision. If God moves sound, you have an auditory
experience. If God moves you, you have a tactile experience (a.k.a.
the Anointing). Smells and tastes are also viable options for the
Blessed Virgin.

Tongues – God inspires tongues or can actually take kinetic control


of your tongue. I have experienced both and the Spirit says most
44
tongue-speakers will as well. When God inspires tongues, you are in
control of your tongue, but the Holy Spirit inspires what comes out.
Nevertheless, you may not even be aware of God‘s subtle
possession of your tongue and vocal chords. Enjoy the gifts to the
edification of the Church and without fear or lust.

Urim and Thummim – God can communicate with prophets via a


yes/no signal. The less said about this, the better.

Angels – angels (or saints) are Christians who travel through time in
order to participate in salvation. I am angel; you are an angel.
Angels do things that God can‘t do such as speaking and writing.
Some angels draw pictures and sing songs in order to enhance the
visionary experience of mystics and prophets. If you‘ve heard the
audible voice of the LORD, then you‘ve probably heard the voice of
a saint. But take care, there are demons as well as angels:

(Gal 1:8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.

Angels were there on the day of Pentecost, translating the words of


the apostles into the various tongues of their proselytes. Angels
played on harps and produced the images witnessed by Saint John in
his Revelation. There are no guardian angels or patron saints, but
don‘t bother removing the bobble-headed St. Christopher from the
dash. It is a valid albeit quaint tradition and some of us feel more
comfortable relating to a saint than to Almighty God. By the way, if
they ever make a saint out of me, tell ‗em I want to be the patron
saint of playboys and pimps. And underneath my image, write:
Don‘t call me a pimp – I‘m a matchmaker!

(I dood it!)

The Patchwork Balloon


God needs an eternal witness in order to live, but couldn‘t God
allow some of us to perish in heaven while still maintaining that all-
important witness through others? Not at all. It is impossible for any
individual Christian to perish in Heaven because each of us is united
by the spirit so that if one of us were to render the ghost, it would go
out from all of us. Doubtless the nails, which fixed our LORD to the
cross, have fixed us in heaven forever; And God‘s plan of salvation,
which is fool-proof, has made us death-proof.

How can we be spiritually united and yet not so geographically or


even temporally? Well, since temporality is an illusion created by
motion and since time and space are one, then would not geography
be just as illusory? Hence, though we may temporally divided,
eternally-speaking, we all are in the same place at the same time,
and that place is at the foot of the cross. To us. it seems that many
have died in the LORD and many are yet to, but eternally-speaking,
we are all taken (―raptured,‖ if you will) in the same glorious
moment regardless of our position within this illusory timeline,
which theologians have aptly dubbed the ―Church Age‖:

(1 Thess 4:16-17) and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Let us now examine our happy circumstance…

We Christians are like the heads of a vast sprinkler system that is


laid throughout a cosmic garden. If one of the heads is destroyed,
the water (which is the spirit) will leak out through the breach and
the overall reduced water pressure will cause every sprinkler head to
fail.
46
We Christians are like a patchwork balloon. We are inflated by the
air of the spirit, but if one of the patches on the balloon is ruptured,
the air leaks out of the whole balloon and all patches collapse.

We Christians are like a vast string of Christmas lights on a cosmic


holiday tree. If one bulb blows, all the bulbs go off. There is no time
to replace the bulb at God‘s Christmas party. Mary dies if the lights
go out and if that were going to happen, it already would have
(which our temporal existence continually contradicts). It is as if we
are all on lock-down in heaven‘s cell block and there‘s no escaping
this Alcatraz of lux perpetua. If we pray for death, God judges such
a prayer to be unrighteous and she only answers the prayers of the
righteous. Later, our faith is restored and we thank God for all
unanswered prayers, which were answered in Christ.

Therefore, it is impossible for any Christian to die whether it be in


the present age or in the world to come. Only the godless, the
faithless, the hopeless and the loveless will find themselves shirtless
on that great and glorious day when all of us shall be seated at the
wedding banquet of our LORD and master:

(John 17:12) and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the
scripture might be fulfilled.

Some Choice Words


There‘s a lot in this world that you can‘t control, but your mind isn‘t
one of them. No one – not even God herself – can possess your
mind or control your thoughts. This is because you are as much
spirit as you are flesh and the spirit that resides within you is
immaterial. It can‘t be seen; It can‘t be touched. Since only physical
objects can be manipulated by outside entities, if the steering wheel
is invisible, the vehicle can‘t be carjacked.
47
We know that choice is real because we desire to live. To be or not
to be? That is the question that perpetually faces us. We may be
influenced by the world, but this is only because we allow ourselves
to be (or not to be). Were we to be under the tyrannical control of
the Universe, we would not differentiate ourselves from it. The
Universe would do nothing we ourselves didn‘t do. Yet we exist in a
world that is like a box of chocolates, not knowing what we‘re
going to get. To the extent that the world surprises us, we are
separate from it. To the extent that we are aware of an autonomous
Universe, our own autonomy is revealed. To the extent that we are
conscious of the Universe, we are conscious of ourselves. To the
extent that self-consciousness is prerequisite to life, the right to
choose is in fact the right to life. Congratulations, Pinocchio –
you‘re a real boy!

However, with freedom comes responsibility – and yet some would


intentionally deny the obvious in order to shirk their responsibility.
Don‘t.

Logical Circus
Atheists accuse Christians of circular logic. According to them,
Christians argue that the Bible is true simply because the Bible says
it is. No one is born believing the gospel and it takes faith to believe
something simply because the Universe confronts you with it. In the
cosmic game of ―Truth or Dare,‖ the truth is the dare:

(Heb 11:1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.

The definition of circular logic is this: Any logic argument in which


the premise (or principle) depends on the truth of the very matter in
question. Hence, the argument that Biblical truth is premised on
48
Biblical truth is one which relies on circular logic. Here it is
structurally:

p implies q
suppose p
therefore q

Circular logic is not a logical fallacy. Therefore, it is entirely logical


to maintain that the Bible is a self-justifying book. However, people
who disbelieve the Word of God on the basis that it cannot be
logically supported do in fact commit a logical fallacy. They assume
that a premise must be logically proven which no logical premise
can be by definition.

If we must logically prove premises, no logical argument can ever


be made. If we rely on science to prove or disprove logical
premises, we would have to assume a logical universe, which Chaos
Theory and Quantum Mechanics say is not the case. If Chaos
Theory and Quantum Mechanics are disproven, we would have to
possess all knowledge – science would have to be omniscience.

If we had omniscience, we would possess the capability of


destroying ourselves. Therefore, we would have to write a law that
everyone would have to follow in order to keep us from destroying
ourselves. This law book would have no logical basis other than to
preserve and continue life. The greatest commandment of this law
book would be to love your neighbor. Love is illogical.

It is true that the phrase ―The Bible is truth because it says it‘s truth‖
is circular logic. But so too is the phrase ―An object in motion tends
to stay in motion.‖ Yet atheists cling to the latter argument while
rejecting the former. Now does that sound logical to you?

Humor in Cuneiform
I. Comparative Religion

I was in an internet chat room a few months ago, and I was in a


heated argument with a religious skeptic who kept trying to make
the case that there was no real difference between Jesus and any
other god.
―What‘s the difference between your god and Thor?‖ he wrote.
At my wit‘s end, I posted the following reply:

Thor – Mighty Axe; God – Mighty Acts

II. Rapture Ready Spaghetti

In a chat room devoted to economics, I posted the question: What


would happen to the global markets if the Blessed Virgin Mary
appeared before the entire world and declared the eminent end to
life as we know it and the ushering in of Paradise?

I received the following reply: I don‟t know! What would happen if


the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared before the entire world and
declared the end of the world and the ushering in of Pasta
Paradise?

Not wanting to be outdone, I quickly posted the following response:


I guess Italians would have to choose between their love of
spaghetti and their love of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
50
III. In Jesus’ Name?

A Catholic, a Jew and an Anglican are arguing over the true name of
Jesus of Nazareth.
―His name is Jesu‖ maintains the Catholic, ―because that‘s his name
in the Latin Bible.‖
―No, his name is Yeshua‖ counters the Jew, ―because that‘s what
he‘s called in the Hebrew Bible.‖
―You‘re both wrong!‖ declares the Anglican. ―His name is Jesus!‖
―Jesus?‖ the other two laughed. ―Is that because he‘s called Jesus in
the King James?‖
―Yes‖ replied the Anglican. ―And I‘ve found that whenever you‘re
installing new software, it‘s better to go with a version that‘s
authorized!‖

IV. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned!

A Baptist is in a debate with a Catholic over the Rite of Confession.


―Tell me,‖ he says. ―If a Priest tells you to say ten ‗Hail Marys‘ and
you have a heart attack and die after the ninth one, what happens to
you?‖
Without missing a beat, the Catholic replied, ―That‘s why it ends
with: Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death!‖

V. Economic Woes

Recently, an economics professor asked his class if anyone could


give an example of inflation.
―A U.S. dollar ain‘t what it used to be!‖ answered one student.
―A high school diploma ain‘t what it used to be!‖ answered another
student.
―A marriage certificate ain‘t what it used to be!‖ answered a third
student.
51
―Very good!‖ smiled the professor. ―Now, can anyone tell me the
factors contribute to inflation?‖

VI. Sin No More

A Catholic Priest dies, goes to heaven, and is greeted by St. Peter.


―You‘ve been so good, I‘m going to grant you one wish‖ Peter says.
―Well,‖ says the Priest, ―Since I‘ve been so good, how about letting
me sin one final time?‖
―Okay,‖ laughed Peter. ―But first, give me one good reason why
you should.‖

VII. Culture Clash

I was teaching General Music at a predominantly black elementary


school in South Miami Heights. We were about to sing ‗Old
MacDonald had a Farm‘ and so I asked my 2nd graders if anyone
could tell me some of the animals he had on his farm.
―I know!‖ blurted one kid. ―A Rottweiler!‖
―A cockroach!‖ answered another.
That would be e-i-e-i-no!!!

VIII. Company Stiff

I once asked a coworker to sleep with me.


How about we just keep this professional, she said.
Fine, I answered. How much do you want?
52
IIX. Uncommon Grace

As a member of an on-campus ministry at UCLA, I used to host a


midweek small-group Bible study in my West Lost Angeles
apartment. Far be it for me to expect a bunch of college kids to show
up on time for anything! I always made an effort to cook spaghetti
and would often call them to find out when I could expect them.
On one occasion, they were exceptionally late and as a result, the
spaghetti was severely over-cooked to the point of being barely
edible. ―Would you like to say the prayer?‖ one of them asked.
Without missing a beat, I answered, ―Lord, thank you for this meal
– and help us to remember that it is not what goes into a man that
defiles him, but what comes out of him!‖

IX. The Lady or the Tiger

I‟m reading this great book, I told my adult son. It‟s about a man
who is forced to open one of two doors: behind one door is a
beautiful lady; behind the other is a ravenous tiger.
What did he do? he asked.
I don‟t know, I responded. Haven‟t gotten to that part yet.
Without missing a beat, my son answered, Well, if I were him, I‟d
open both doors simultaneously so that the tiger can eat the lady
while I‟m escaping!

X. The Antichrist Revealed!

Everybody goes to church marveling at the beast of the antichrist


and the number of his name.
After the service, they all return home to their 6-packs of beer in 6-
cylinder engines that they bought with their 6-figure salaries!

Weird Science
Ancient Greek philosophers get a bad rap from modern scientists
because they discerned their cosmology through logic and reason
rather than by experimentation and peer review. We could stop here,
but let‘s continue.

According to ancient Greek philosophy, there are four preexistent


elements that comprise all of Reality: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.
Beforetime, these elements were static. They did not move; they
could not move. Yet, we observe motion in the Universe, which
begs the question: At what point did the static Universe suddenly
become dynamic?

When the ancient Greeks pondered this, they postulated that there
must be something else in the Universe that acts upon the other four
elements – a fifth element, which they called quintessence or spirit.

Now, the fifth element is not really an element per se, it is the
motion of elemental matter itself. Fire is not alive; neither is water
or earth, but life (and the spirit of life) is the motion of the dead
element. Hence, the Greeks knew that the planets were gods because
the planets moved. If it moves it lives:

(1 Tim 6:13) I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all
things,

Is it any surprise that the Greek association between motion and life
is so emphasized in Scripture? After all it was God‘s first
creative/genetic act that his Spirit ―moved upon the face of the
water‖ (Gen 1:2). Later, when God made man, he gave them
dominion ―over every living thing that moveth upon the earth‖ (Gen
1:28). Living waters?; quickening spirit? It is a matter of common
human knowledge that living things move and moving things live.
54
Elsewhere, the notion that moving things have a spirit has long been
a staple of most world religions throughout the entirety of human
history – from Reincarnation to the Kamikaze (divine wind); from
Native American Tree Spirits to the Bodhi Tree. The notion,
therefore, that an object can somehow move on its own not only
defies logic and reason, but also flies in the face of several millennia
of wisdom and experience. Not only is Newtonian Mechanics
ungodly, it is inhuman!:

(John 6:63) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Of course matter cannot move on its own. That would be anti-


Newtonian – an object at rest will stay at rest! But modern science is
searching and lurching, trying to find a way to get matter to move
without a mover – le marteau sans maître! But what does Einstein
say? E = mc2? And if matter somehow produced its own motion,
wouldn‘t mass and force be essentially the same thing?

But if matter cannot move itself, then what causes it to move?


Perhaps the better question to ask is who causes it to move? Or
better yet what is his desire?; his intent?; his character? What hath
God wrought!

If the Universe moves, then the Universe lives; If the Universe lives,
then the Universe has a consciousness; If the Universe has a
consciousness, then she has a design, a character, a relationship with
her children who rise up and call her blessed whereby her existence
is validated! She witnesses us and we witness her as LORD and
God; as two cherubim atop the ark of the covenant perpetually
facing each other – their wings outstretched! And hidden within the
ark is the bread of life; manna from heaven – even the body of Jesus
Christ in the Heart of the Virgin Shekhinah.
55
How wonderful it is to be the object of so great a love? Your God
and mine; God of our fathers; Holy LORD God of Abraham and of
David:

(Ps 119:25) My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according
to thy word.

Oh if this could have been our heritage – and it can be! But were it
not for the sheer and brazen act of spiritual vandalism and
staggering intellectual dishonesty wherein Newtonian mechanics
seeks to dissociate movement from life!

No wonder we have lost touch with our ancient selves! Have we


now become wiser than Solomon?; or are we less naïve than the
ancient Greeks? No wonder modern science continues to fail in its
stated quest to understand the so-called ―laws of nature.‖ Newtonian
Mechanics is one theory that just doesn‘t hold water:

(Jer 2:13) For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken
me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken
cisterns, that can hold no water.

Now let‘s have a queer review study to determine the


difference between Newtonian Mechanics and Marian Mechanics:

Newtonian Mechanics: An object in motion tends to stay in motion,


unless interrupted by an opposing force.
Marian Mechanics: Old Man River must know something. He just keeps
rolling along!

(To restate Marian Mechanics in modern terms: Dead matter


cannot move on its own. Therefore, whatsoever moves does so by
conscious intent).
56
We knew this in ancient Greece, but rejected this quintessential
truth in order to perpetuate godlessness and science fiction, which
we teach to our school children, perpetuating ignorance to the
detriment of humanity. Newton says that for every action, there is
an equal and opposite reaction, but Paul warns us against
―oppositions of science falsely so called‖ (1 Tim 6:20). Newton says
that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, but I say: If you
cannot explain what caused it to move in the first place, then you
cannot explain what keeps it going. I guess that would make atheism
a mystery religion!

But the Catholic Religion teaches us that God exists in three


Persons. The Person of Christ who can be manipulated, tested,
interviewed – and he was, wasn‟t he?; and the Person of the Holy
Spirit who is immaterial; ineffable. We experience the Holy Spirit in
Christ so that the two are inseparable in God the Father, but Science
is concerned with the physical Person only, whereby Science is a
Unitarian religion. The question therefore is not whether or not we
will teach religion in school, the question is which way will it go?:

(Prov 22:6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.

Unlike the ancient Greeks, modern scientists premise their


investigation of the cosmos with the foregone conclusion that there
is no God, having subjected her to rigorous testing she cannot pass.
Immortal, invisible, God only wise! You can‘t see the Blessed
Virgin through a microscope – she is the microscope! Rather than
advancing human knowledge, scientific method has hindered our
ability to understand our place in the Universe. If scientists are
serious about acquiring knowledge, they should abandon scientific
method and Newtonian Mechanics altogether:

(Job 38:31-36) Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose
the bands of Orion? 32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or
canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 33Knowest thou the ordinances
57
of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? 34Canst thou
lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here
we are? 36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
understanding to the heart?

Now, the entirely redundant term ―Intelligent Design‖ has been


advanced by Creationist scientists to explain certain anomalous
events which occur in the Universe. While the term is accurate to be
sure, I am not quite satisfied with it due to vagaries regarding how
one defines ―intelligence.‖ Is an entity which inspires intelligence
intelligent? Is an entity which cannot speak except by a human
prophet intelligent? Nevertheless, whatever term we use, it is
intellectually dishonest and a travesty against the spirit of discovery
that the ―Intelligent Design‖ argument is looked upon with such
disdain within the scientific community.

How then should we define intelligence? The Blessed Virgin


defines intelligence as anything which moves on its own. This is
because movement requires direction and direction requires
decision. If an entity makes any kind of decision, it is necessarily
intelligent; and if an entity moves on its own, it makes a decision.
Therefore, the Universe, which began (and continues to inexplicably
accelerate) on its own, would be a definite candidate for
intelligence. I submit this finding for peer review: peer into the
cosmos and review your Bible – they agree!

How intelligent is God? She‘s not smarter than a fifth grader – she
flunked out of science class! Give her an IQ test and she‘ll send a
prophet to take it for her! So what does she know? She knows the
heart of her son Jesus Christ and is obedient to him. She also knows
your heart and answers your prayers. Bless her and the Universe
knows to bless you; Curse her and the Universe knows to curse you;
Repent and the Universe knows to forgive you by the grace manifest
in Christ Jesus. Yet it didn‘t have to be that way! Our LORD and
Savior was at utter liberty to end his Passion at any moment, but
58
instead choose to subject his body to the fury of man‘s sin unto the
redemption of his elect. There is no causality in Marian Mechanics.
Neither is the Universe some sort of dead mechanism. Every
molecule, every atom, every particle is under the express and
mindful control of the B.V.M. in accordance to the gospel. There
was no causality at the time of the Big Bang – how can there ever
be? Our relationship with the Universe is not causal, it is crucial!

How do we portend to measure God‘s intelligence when we cannot


even define it for ourselves? There are literary and musical geniuses
as well as mathematical ones! So are you smart because you can
crunch the numbers? Or because you can munch cucumbers? This is
why scientists who search for life on other planets disagree on what
constitutes a living organism. Is it alive if it consumes, excretes and
multiplies itself? That would be fire! Yet we have preconcluded fire
to be a nonliving organism. Why on Mars would we do that? To
quench the fire of the Spirit? The question is not whether or not
there is life on Mars, but rather, is Mars indeed alive?

Yet we cannot live in a dead Universe! A dead man may show up


for work once, but he wouldn‘t show up on time five days a week
packing a lunch like the Universe appears to! At the moment of the
Big Bang, at the quantum level and also in deep space – practically
everywhere we look, we observe a chaotic Universe, yet there is
order at just the right time to nurture and sustain human life.
Scientists want to light their Bunsen burners from both ends – they
want to embrace cosmic accident and cosmic order simultaneously.
But scientists have yet to explain how chaos can yield order – it
can‟t! This brings us to the 2nd law of Marian Mechanics: A Big
Bang cannot produce Ellington‟s Big Band – that A-train ain‟t
goin‟ nowhere! (White-people‘s translation: Chaos cannot produce
order and vice versa.)
59
And what about the Church? Theologians and philosophers;
prophets and saints; all of the sharpest minds that over two
millennia of human history can muster have all subjected the Word
of God to the most severe scrutiny and harshest criticism and yet,
they still have all conceded that the Word of God is profitable for
reproof and instruction (2 Tim 3:16). Are the Newtonians smarter
than the Ionians? Are atheists the enlightened few who stand in
opposition to the world? (And I thought Christianity was the only
religion with a righteous remnant!)

And what about miracles? From the time that Enoch walked with
God to the modern-day Charismatic movement, people have
claimed extraordinary experiences with God and that those
experiences convicted them of the truth of the Bible. It‘s funny how
the miracles always seem to happen right on cue! If the volcano that
triggered the tsunami which (supposedly) parted the Red Sea had
happened a day later, the Exodus would end a few chapters sooner –
although I doubt it would still be called “the Exodus”! And what
did we learn from the Exodus? That God has liberated us from
Egyptian bondage with a mighty hand and outstretched arm! And
yet having been freed from the tyranny of the law, science has
sought to reenslave us with the equally tyrannical laws of physics.

Without a doubt, the Universe has conspired to do me good, but


while I‘ve experienced more miracles and gifts than I can record in
this book, the greatest of these is the beating of my own heart. The
fact that I live at all is all the proof I need of God‘s existence:

(Ps 4:4-5) 4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart
upon your bed, and be still. 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put
your trust in the Lord.

But Science says that an object in motion tends to stay in motion


while faith teaches that God upholds the pillars of the earth (1 Sam
2:8)! Science says that an object in motion tends to stay in motion,
60
but cannot explain what caused it to move in the first place! We are
basically no wiser than our Greek predecessors!

No wonder Newtonian Mechanics breaks down at the quantum


level; neither can Sir Isaac Newton explain the cause of the Big
Bang or the endless expansion of the Universe! Astrophysicists have
proposed a godless ―dark matter‖ theory in order to compensate for
Newton‘s shortcomings. According to this hypothesis, there is
invisible, undetectable matter in the universe gravitationally acting
on distant stars and galaxies (whose movements cannot be otherwise
explained). They call it ―dark matter‖ in the hopes that the ―light‖ of
Science will one day reveal it – and I thought Christianity was the
only religion with a Messiah! What‟s next? – When apples fall, we
sin all?

In the old days, if you walked into a building and saw a bunch
of people raising their hands, you would think you were in a
temple. Same as if you walked into a room where everyone is
reading out of the same book! And what about the school anthem,
the so-called “Alma Mater”? Our once proud Christian schools
have devolved into a Pagan Rite of passage – an epicurean cult of
the Sweet Mother! We don‟t need no education; we don‟t need no
thought control! It‟s time for the student to teach the teacher – they
can‟t expel us all; if they did, they‟d be out of work!:

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!


how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the
world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me,
what is this quintessence of dust?
(Shakespeare, Hamlet II.ii.316-321)

But why would God create a Universe that appears to run like
clockwork? Of course, Werner Heisenberg may disagree, but
regardless, the way things appear certainly speak more to the viewer
61
than to the objects themselves. Hence, if the Universe appears to us
as orderly, it is because we choose to see it that way. If we conduct
a scientific experiment and the results conflict, we deem them
statistically negligible and relegate them to the margin of error. But
the Universe has no margin of error. Opps!

Why doesn‘t God part the Red Sea in front of everyone and settle
the debate over his existence once and for all? Because it wouldn‘t
work – if the experiment cannot be repeated, the results are tossed
out. If God parted the Red Sea repeatedly, it would no longer be a
miracle – it would be science. Therefore, a miracle can never be
scientifically established. This is a glaring weakness in the so-called
scientific method: It fails to explain events that only occur once
(like the Big Bang). This, of course, presumes that there ever can be
repetitive events in the Universe. Conceptually, 2 + 2 equals 4 every
time, but we don‘t live in a pure, platonic universe. If we fill two
beakers with the ―same‖ amount of water, they won‘t be perfectly
the same as one beaker may have an extra drop that evades our
detection. Likewise, the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus posits
that ―no man can cross the same river twice, because neither the
man nor the river are the same." Thus, because the Universe is in
constant flux, Science is utterly incompetent to explain it.

(Matt 16:3) O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can
ye not discern the signs of the times?

But why couldn‘t God just kick off the Big Bang and then let the
universe run its course? Impossible! Because temporality is an
illusion created by motion, we are, in effect, living inside the
ongoing Big Bang. The same hand that sparked creation must,
therefore, also sustain it or else it couldn‘t create it to begin with.
This set-it-and-forget-it argument (initially put forth by seventeenth
century Deists), is quaint, but somewhat specious as there isn‘t any
real time for God to forget what she set.
62
Of course, the apparent transcendence of the Universe is a great
source of frustration to the scientific community:

The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the
moment is known in this instant, and vice versa. (Heisenberg Principle)

And so what if you can‘t tell the momentum and position of a


subatomic particle simultaneously? What cosmological implications
does that science fact have? Could it be that if you can‘t tell the
momentum and the position of an object simultaneously, then you
don‘t know what‘s making it move? Or maybe you‘re scared to
party with a real God!

Now we know why scientists are ripping their teeth out trying to
come up with a theory to explain the seemingly chaotic motions of
quantum particles – but how can they? It‟s a mystery! Embrace
it and get on with your life! Wait – better idea! Use your life
to touch others with the gospel! A head full of equations might
serve humanity well – especially now! But instead, atheists
use Uncertainty Principle and Chaos Theory to shirk their
responsibility to humanity and hide from the LORD God of their
fathers!:

(Ps 14:1-4) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if
there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3They are all gone
aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good,
no, not one. 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up
my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

What will they think of next? Are we now wiser than the Greeks
who taught us that light travels at a finite speed?; who were the first
to develop an atomic theory?; who gave us the golden mean?; who
charted the course of the gods with the Antikythera mechanism?;
who built Alexandria?; who built the first automatic coin-dispenser?
63
Have the gods become greater than the Titans or are just rearranging
the deck chairs on the Titanic?:

The air which stirred within him not only prompted, but instructed. The
air as the origin of all things is necessarily an eternal, imperishable
substance, but as soul it is also necessarily endowed with consciousness.
(Diogenes Apolloniates)

Promised Land
based on the words of Dr. Martin Luther King

[Verse 1]
I have a dream that ev‘ry man
May one day see the promis‘d land.
A symphony of brotherhood,
Of liberty and common good.

[Chorus]
How long shall it be ‗til all men are free
Of his‘try‘s shameful legacy?
If we can believe the time is at hand,
The God of Life will heal our land!

[Verse 2]
I am not fearing any man;
A house divided cannot stand.
Our happy day has come to pass;
Thank God almighty; free at last!

[Verse 3]
Our work revive; our faith renew;
Let freedom ring and justice prove.
A nation whose God is the LORD
Will seldom need to use its sword.

Epistle to the Black Churches


The following email was sent to the President of the National
Baptist Church and a Bishop in the AME Church on September 21,
2008:

Psalm 105 prophesies that Joseph, a slave, would one day be ―loosed‖
and become a senator in Egypt. I believe this is an overt prophecy of
Barack‘s candidacy. It even says that he will ―bind [the] princes‖ of
Egypt (Bush 43 and Jeb) and that he would become ―lord of his house.‖
Also, Barack‘s running mate is named ―Joseph‖:

Ps 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a
servant:
Ps 105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Ps 105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried
him.
Ps 105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and
let him go free.
Ps 105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
Ps 105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
wisdom.

I think it‘s apparent that God is on the side of Barack. Weeks prior to his
acceptance speech in Denver, the rightwing group ―Focus on the Family‖
encouraged its followers to pray for ―umbrella-ain‘t-gonna‘-help-you
rain‖ in the hopes that God would intervene in this election on behalf of
the Republicans. Instead, God sent a hurricane to interrupt the
Republican National Convention and remind everyone of Katrina. The
title of Jerome Corsi‘s book ―The Obama Nation‖ is an oblique reference
to the Abomination of Desolation prophesied in the Book of Daniel and a
transparent attempt to play into White Evangelical fears. As an
Evangelical Born-again Christian, I am appalled at the way in which
God‘s Name has been cynically evoked by the Right in this election. The
Republicans clearly believe that the gospel is just another weapon in their
war-without-end-amen.
65
The basic strategy of the Republican Party is to use gays and abortion as
a means of moral extortion in order to get Christians to vote against their
own interests. They have roped us into believing that legalization is a
form of endorsement. If that‘s true, then God endorses our sin because he
gave us the ability to commit it. So are we more righteous than God? And
if God made us free from his law through faith, then why do we use these
same legalities to oppress others who are our enemies for the sake of the
gospel? Are we lesser sinners than them?

Miami (Mi amiga)


Balmy breezes, sultry heat;
Sand-caked toes on sea-swept reef;
Sun-bleached pela, swaying hips;
Beads of sweat on tender lips;
Tall y flaca, sweet morena;
Lanky thighs y sweet mamayas;
Sailing in uncharted aguas,
Dreaming of enchanted islas;
¿Dime, cual es libertad?
¡Dama, cual es libertando!

Missions Impossible
Protestant Evangelicals go on expensive mission trips
in order to teach foreigners Sola Scriptura.
If Sola Scriptura is true,
then why not just mass mail them copies of the Bible?
(or maybe you‟re afraid they‟ll actually read it
and become Catholics).
66
I live in a third world country.
Anglicanism is more than a religion here,
it is our cultural heritage.
Other Caribbean countries lean Catholic.
Yet every Protestant delinquent church
feels morally obligated to fracture our society
and sectarianize our culture.
Didn‟t they notice that we‟re already Christians?

Abortion and sodomy (we call it buggery)


are legal offences in Jamaica.
Our public schools teach the Bible as a part of their curriculum.
Our national anthem begins with phrase
―Eternal Father, Bless our Land.‖
We should be the ones sending you missionaries!

But instead, we find ourselves being recolonized


by Successionists, Cessationists
and every other religious non sequitur.
Our unity has been eroded
by every crackpot zealot and moral supremist,
each one with their own exclusionary brand
of theology, methodology, ideology – and of course, Mariology!

And yet, haven‘t we learned by now that religious incohesion


is the first step to moral relativism?
No wonder secular humanists point to the Reformation
as a key moment in the history of so-called human liberation.
Catholicism puts Church before self;
Protestantism puts self before Church.
Catholicism sees personal wealth as evidence of greed;
Protestantism sees personal wealth as evidence of grace.
Catholicism sees ill-health
as an opportunity to become more Christ-like;
Protestantism sees ill-health as an attack from the devil.
67
Catholicism is known for its charity.
Protestantism is known for its industry.

And what has the so-called ―Protestant work ethic‖ gotten us?
A nation as morally bankrupt
as our national treasury is depleted?
A nation as culturally hedonistic
as we are militarily hegemonic?
A nation as divided at home
as we are derided abroad?
The blood of the patriots cries out from the ground:

Patriots:All men are created equal!


Progeny: All men are morally relative.
Patriots:We are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights!
Progeny: We are endowed by the Courts with civil liberties.
Patriots:Among these are the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Progeny: Among these are the right to die, the right to choose
and the right to legally redefine happiness.

While we‟re at it, why don‟t we just move the 4th of July to April 1st!

Of course, the ideals of Protestantism are righteous.


I have no problem with health, wealth, and individuality,
but we just don‘t live in a righteous universe.
Instead, the blessing of health
has become the curse of reproductive rights!
The blessing of wealth
has become the curse of wall-street greed!
The blessing of individuality
has become the curse of gay pride!

Catholicism, on the other hand, is more pragmatic.


We are accused of emphasizing acts over faith,
but remember what it took to exorcize Europe‘s demons.
68
Our doctrine is sound and we have great expertise
in unifying a culture, despite the fact that most in it
may not ever attain to grace.
However, the Protestants are equally expert
in dividing groups of people along narrow theological fault-lines
in a vain attempt to inflate their own prestige as a denomination.

When America has its house in order,


then let them all come over here and proselytize us.
But if you cannot recognize the need in your own house,
then how will you be able to understand our needs?

Pray-cation
Jamaica is internationally recognized for its golf courses, white-sand
beaches, musical heritage and exceptional hospitality. But while
many visitors to our island prefer to bask in the sun, sand and surf,
others see their vacations as opportunities to minister to the gospel.
Many tourists living abroad belong to congregations that have sister
churches here. Others come to establish new churches or engage in
charitable activities. Today, Christianity has a prominent role in
Jamaican cultural and political life. If you are seeking a different
tourist experience, one that ventures beyond the conspicuous castles
of the all-inclusives, then I would certainly recommend a visit to
any one of our great and historic local parish churches.

In the town of Falmouth, the Trelawny Parish Church of St. Peter


the Apostle stands as a living monument to the supremacy of
Anglicanism in Jamaican culture. Its stone masonry portrays the
understated grandeur of Georgian architecture while rendering a
striking allusion to the rock on which our LORD‘s Church was
built. Its arched wooden doorway first welcomed celebrants decades
69
before the abolition of slavery and was a part of the original town
charter officially authorized, recognized and patronized by the
government of Jamaica and its Monarch.

Today, St. Peter‘s is known for its majestic clock tower, which also
serves as a belfry and while the clock only gives the correct time
twice daily, the soft pealing of its old iron bell can often be heard on
Sunday mornings, beckoning the entire community to worship.

The gravestones of St. Peter‘s record both the names and lifespans
of more than a few dignitaries and luminaries dating back to the
colonial era. A substantial number of child graves testify to the
untimeliness of death in a world without vaccination. Once, these
memorials were decorated with flowers and lamented by devotees,
but nowadays, they serve as ever-present sentinels, warning all
trespassers of the fate that awaits them should they stray from the
narrow path.

St. Peter‘s boasts one of the oldest working pipe organs in the
Caribbean. Early in the 20th century, an electrical motor was added
to its bellows eliminating the need for a human blower. Beyond this,
however, there is no electrical alteration or amplification of the
organ sound. It‘s large brass pipes, which tower above the
congregation, resonate with the vibrant harmonies and embellished
descants commensurate with the mostly self-taught musicians who
grace its console. The choir too does not read music, but instead
memorizes every melody while following along in the words-only
edition of the Anglican hymnal.

It is a cultural tradition in Jamaica for men to wear suits and ties and
for the women to wear long dresses, hats and even gloves on a
Sunday morning service despite the searing heat and lack of air-
conditioning. Some poorer Jamaicans use this tacit dress code as
impetus to shirk their spiritual duty, though many others are
welcomed into the congregation in t-shirts and tennis shoes.
70

It is not a rare occurrence to see foreigners in attendance at the


Sunday morning service. Many are family members of congregants
and other Jamaican ex-patriots (like myself) but a few are Anglican
and Episcopalian tourists who don‘t want to miss church while on
their vacations. These tourists are blessed with interesting and
memorable vignettes into traditional Jamaican life and culture as
well as by the ministry of the Sacrament and fellowship of the Holy
Spirit.

Sandals, Half Moon, and the Ritz Carlton are three prestigious
resorts that can arrange bus tours to the historic town of Falmouth
and transport guests to and from St. Peter‘s. Doubtless your
concierge would be more than happy to assist you in learning more
about Jamaica‘s great churches and island culture. Until then, I wish
you all the best and, as we say here in Jamaica, Likkle more!

Jamaica Queens
Love, It wasn‘t meant to be
Underneath the ackee tree.
But if I could spend tonight
On an Air Jamaica flight,
I would fly right to your side;
In your arms, I would reside!
Now I sing my soul to thee,
Idol carved from ebony,
Staring at the ceiling fan
(Feeling like a married man).
How was I not meant to see,
Love that wasn‟t meant to be?
71

Who Am I?
Who am I? A poet seeking a muse? A pianist seeking a chord? A
painter seeking a color? Hue am I? I‘m an overworked, underpaid
underling in an upstart company, whose wages have been undercut
due to outsourcing and corporate downsizing; an overdressed intern
having outercourse with an underappreciated commander in briefs;
an upstanding member of an economic underclass understood by
many outsiders to be underserved (though some say we‘re
undeserving); an outwitted consumer buying overpriced goods on
the outskirts of town, having underestimated the outrageously high
cost of high-test. To say that we‘ve been uprooted and
underprivileged would be a gross misunderstanding! But I don‘t
mean to understate the overarching reality of an economic downturn
on the upper echelon of the lower class. That would be downright
insensitive. After all, you can launch a man into outer space, but you
can‘t give him inner peace.

Now, you may think I‘m overdoing this, but please understand, I‘m
just a down-and-out brother driving a slow truck to make a quick
buck and improve my luck, but instead I find myself stuck in a rut! I
don‘t mean to be outlandish, but frankly speaking (and freakly
spanking), since I‘m just a pimped-out prince with simple principles
– you know, like: ―you can‘t have the upper hand without being
underhanded‖; or ―never give a down payment to standup comic
without a sitcom‖ – allow me to give you the straight-up lowdown: I
am the original gangster prophet and ghetto poet; a dreamer as great
as Don Quixote and a lover as great as Don Juan, yet I am as
unrecognized as Don Diego. Who am I? Come and see…

(Luke 9:18) And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I
am?
72

Sick Christian
When Paul was smitten with a thorn in his flesh, he petitioned the
Lord three times, but the Lord answered, ―My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness‖ (2 Cor 12:9).
Paul understood what the Lord meant but do you? Do you know
what it‘s like to declare as Paul did when he said, ―Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me‖ (2 Cor 12:9).

But what does it mean to glory in sickness? How can suffering yield
fruit for the gospel? It‘s counterintuitive to what we hear preached
from televised pulpits and charismatic revival meetings; that Jesus is
our healer, that sickness has no more dominion over the believer,
that the Word of life is health to the bones (Prov 16:24); that we are
healed by his stripes (Is 53:5)! If all of these statements are true,
then how is it that a Christian can get sick?

The Bible says that when a devil is cast out, it returns and, finding
the house ―swept and garnished,‖ it summons seven more devils and
the state of the believer is worse than before (Luke 11:24-26). I
believe that each of these seven demons has its own reason as to
why Christians are not immune from sickness.

The first demon might say that sickness is a test of faith and that
God sends it into our lives to see if we will remain faithful. He
might also point out that Job was similarly tested, God permitting
the devil to take away Job‘s health in order to prove his faith (Job
1:8-12). However, this is at odds with the New Testament, which is
adamant that by faith and not by test can a person aspire to God‘s
approval. The lesson of Job is not that God needs to test us. We‘ve
already failed that test, which is why we need Christ. We‘ve
essentially got nothing to prove!
73

The second demon might say that pain and sickness are necessary to
bring us closer to Christ. He might say that suffering brings us into
similitude with Christ and deepens our relationship with him.
However, it is foolish to think that we could ever be brought into a
closer relationship with Christ through suffering. Christ is a mystery
and there is no pain or suffering that can match his or give us any
kind of understanding as to the horror of his Passion. It is an insult
to the cross to believe that we can liken ourselves to God in this
way. If anything, pain and suffering hinders our relationship with
Christ just as Paul maintains in Romans 2, that ―the goodness of
God leadeth thee to repentance.‖

The third demon might say that sickness is a form of chastening. He


might also quote Paul as saying, ―For whom the Lord loveth he
chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth‖ (Heb
12:6). However, when the Lord chastens us, it is never with physical
suffering. God wouldn‘t see His son punished on the cross and then
punish us for our lapses. The cross paid for everything we have ever
done or ever will do. Furthermore, pain and suffering doesn‘t help
us to learn our lesson any better. It only makes us terrified of God,
which is of itself a sin. In addition, we are so utterly depraved, that
were God to chasten us with suffering, we would be in near-
constant suffering.

The fourth demon might try to convince you that your sickness is
due to a lack of faith. This is a common refrain among numerous
faith healers who fail to cast out sickness; that the reason why the
miracle healing didn‘t work is because your faith wasn‘t strong
enough. He might reference the passage in Matthew 17 where the
faith of a mustard seed can move mountains and Paul‘s assertion
that we are each accorded a different ―measure of faith‖ (Rom 12:3).
However, in the colorful language of faith, we must delineate
between what is belief and what is euphoria. Belief defies
quantification – you either believe something or you don‘t;
74
Euphoria, on the other hand, may wax and wane in the heart of the
believer. It is the blissful awareness of faith. So can an increased
sense of euphoria heal us? No! Only the blood of Jesus can! And
everyone who believes in his name already has it and cannot receive
an increased amount of it.

The fifth demon might try to convince you that the cause of your
illness is God‘s desire to grow you or to make you stronger through
trial. But suffering does not make us better for having gone through
it. Nor is the ability to withstand punishment a virtue.

The sixth demon might try to convince you that your sickness is in
fact God‘s refining fire; that God has brought suffering into your
life in order to purify you, to make you more holy (Is 48:10; Mal
3:3). But there is a difference between the suffering, which is
repentance and the suffering that is of this world. Every Christian
experiences a crisis in their soul before giving themselves
completely to Christ. This is the true refining fire. John the Baptist
even refers to it as baptism by fire (Matt 3:11). Physical suffering
does not refine us at all. It does not make us more pure or more
holy.

The seventh and last demon is the most insidious. He says that
sickness is the removal of God‘s protective hand; that God has taken
away the healing power of Christ‘s blood. But the recession of gifts
should not be interpreted as the recession of God‘s grace. Yes, we
are to be zealous for spiritual gifts (1 Cor 14:12), but not to the point
where we lust after them, giving them higher esteem than that of
Christ. There is no gift or miracle that can rival the mystery of faith
in Jesus Christ and the gift of faith that can never recede.
So why then do we get sick? And what purpose does suffering
serve? God says, ―My strength is made perfect in weakness‖ and
Paul responds, ―Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities.‖ But what does that mean?
75
The answer to this question lies in the Via Dolorosa, or Way of the
Cross. According to Tradition, Christ was forced to carry his own
cross through the streets of Jerusalem prior to his crucifixion. At
one point, the Romans forced a bystander, a man known to us only
as Simon of Cyrene (Matt 27:32), to carry Jesus‘ cross a part of the
way. But what does this have to do with our illness? What lesson
can be gleaned by the ministry of Simon of Cyrene?

The cross-bearing Simon is important because it shows us that we


have a role and a ministry in lessening the degree of Christ‘s
suffering. Just as our sins scourged Christ on the cross, our sickness
and physical discomfort mitigates the damage caused by our sin,
affording us the opportunity to help carry our Savior‘s cross a part
of the way. We take away some of Jesus‘ stripes by bearing them on
ourselves just as Christ takes away our sin and death by bearing
them on himself. That is how we perfect God‘s strength in the midst
of our physical weakness!

Forever and a Day?


Can a universe exist without there ever being a Big Bang? No. In
order to live, you must have a birthday. But why? Because if you
don‘t know where you came from, you can‘t know where you‘re
going. It would be a travesty of history, which I guess would make
it twistery.

Now, let‟s twist our tassels and break it down college-style:

Since motion requires direction and direction necessitates infinitude,


which is to say, a finite beginning and end (or ―alpha and omega,‖ if
you will), causality simply cannot cause itself or else it is no more
causal.

Deus ex machina (a.k.a. Mormonism) works as a literary device, but


is cosmologically untenable. Instead, Deus nobis lives and does so
because she was born, having been made perfect by virtue of the
Immaculate Conception.

This is why infinity is a real number, but not an exact number.


There is a real first day of Creation and a real last day of Eternity,
but that day never exactly comes. Yes, if you take and eat of the tree
of life, you will live forever, but not forever and a day! Neither was
there a time beforetime – eternity is much too time-consuming!

Had there been no real genesis, infinity would be an exact number


without being a real number, which is absolutely impossible. God
cannot count to infinity twice and in such a universe, infinity would
be multiplied by itself which, again, is absolutely impossible.
80
If infinity is not a real number, then no number is real. We would
live in a non-dimensional universe; one where 2 + 2 equals 6, 7, and
8. Salvador Dali would be a realist painter! Nothing lives in that
universe – or can. Existence may be paradoxical, but it cannot be
oxymoronic.

Yet we observe a Universe that is infinite, having a real beginning,


but with no exact end (just as the numeric value ∞ has a real
beginning, but no exact end); and without this infinitude, there can
be no direction which facilitates motion; and motion is life itself and
the definition of it. Likewise, because time and space are two sides
of the same coin, the Universe will also expand ad infinitum – kind
of like this essay!

When I listen to the second movement of Beethoven‘s Pathétique


Sonata, I am captivated from its opening theme to its final chord.
However, it is not because of my temporality that I am aware of the
music‘s beginning and end, but rather, it is because the music begins
and ends that I am aware of my temporality. Hence, the awareness
of temporality (which is prerequisite to existence) cannot occur
without a real beginning and a real end to temporality itself.

To put it differently, there simply must be a beginning-and-end


predicament which temporality, by its very own nature, perpetually
implicates; and yet it is not my temporality that implicates Universal
Infinitude, but rather it is Universal Infinitude that implicates my
temporality. In other words, the mere fact that I am able to observe
events in the Universe that seem to begin and end (which is
necessary for temporality), means that a beginning and ending must
exist in eternity, which (having not been contingent upon my
position as an observer) would necessitate a real beginning and real
end to eternity itself. The journey is the destination!
81
Creation myths the world over attest to humankind‘s intuitive sense
that the world had to come from somewhere; and if it came from
somewhere, then we ought to be able to foretell where it will go,
vis-à-vis prophecy. Astrology, I Ching, Numerology and all the rest
are historic methods for discerning the Universe‘s intent and
direction. Even the ancient Israelites used a lottery system to
determine tribal boundaries after the Conquest of Canaan:

(Jos 18:6) Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring
the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the
Lord our God.

If everyone knew the future, Las Vegas would go out of business.


But just as ―what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas‖; what happens
on earth, stays in eternity. There is nowhere to run from your sin;
but (glory to God) eternity is not long enough to outlive grace:

(Rev 1:8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the
Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Now, while ∞ represents a mathematical quantity that is real, but


inexact; the number 0 also represents a real, but inexact
mathematical quantity. Conceptually, 2 - 2 = 0; but in the real
world, if you have two apples and two are removed, you will now
have no apples, not zero apples – yes, there‘s a difference.

By the way, I hope this settles the Apple vs. PC debate!

Cataclysm
What is the Universe expanding into to?

God did not create elemental matter, she found it already present in
the Universe, which is to say, the Universe is Jehovah. Before
creation, Abba was gender neutral, but he became masculinized
through a divine act of sex between Shekhinah and God the Father.
Jehovah is Abba; Shekhinah is Mary. Jehovah is matter; Mary is
consciousness. In other words, Jehovah Shekhinah is LORD and
Creator. She didn‘t create herself. She just was.

God was born Immaculate by the grace of her son Jesus. She found
herself in the loving embrace of Jehovah suspended on an elemental
miasma or firmament.

The Universe is accelerating into the elemental firmament that


preceded it. It always will – at least virtually. Just as infinity is a
real, but inexact number; the maximum size of the Universe is also
real but inexact. As you might have guessed, the Universe is
therefore speeding toward a real barrier it cannot transcend, but it
virtually never gets there – c‟est la vie!

The elemental firmament consists of three elements: Earth (Y),


Wind (H) and Fire (W). Just as oxygen and hydrogen combine to
make water, Wind and Fire combine to make the Fourth Greek
Element (H). The Fifth Greek Element, the spirit, is the movement
of the first three elements. Without movement, there is no life.
Motion = Life.

The elements never touch each other. Compounds are simulated


when the three elements are captured in each other‘s orbit.
Likewise, compounds orbit other compounds to create more
83
complex compounds. God is like a kid on Chanukah spinning an
eternal dreidel – and the time it takes for the dreidel to stop spinning
is the time it takes for the atom to decay. Once the atom decays, it
reverts back to the elemental miasma that congealed it and because
God controls the spin of the dreidel, the rate of radioactive decay
cannot ever be predicted by scientists.

Can the elements ever decay?

No. If scientists can find a substance that does not decay, they will
have found an element. Therefore, the ―elements‖ on the ―periodic
table‖ are obviously not elements. By the way, although I am
against Scientific Method and Newtonian Mechanics, I am not
against the true science, which is to say, the idea that observation
and reason can discern cosmic truths.

Do the three elements have the same weight and mass?

Yes – but virtually.

Can a Universe exist with less than three elements?

No. This is because existence is predicated on consciousness and


consciousness necessitates a Witness. If nobody knows your name,
you‟re not in Cheers! Likewise, witness necessitates communication
and communication requires a language. If you don‘t talk to God,
God doesn‘t know you exist – kind of like your ex! But if you‟re
ready to talk, she‟s ready to bury the hatchet – literally!

A language must have at least three phonemes (or sound colors)


because a language with one phoneme expresses nothing other than
itself. But communication requires a relationship and relationship
requires a distinction that a monophonetic language couldn‘t
possibly provide. You can‟t teach Morse code to someone who
doesn‟t already know a language!
84

A language with two phonemes is no better. Now we‟ve graduated


from Morse code to computer code, but don‟t cue up „Pomp and
Circumstance‟ just yet! A binary language can only express on-off-
on-off. This would be adequate in a two-dimensional black-and-
white universe – but who wants to play „Pong‟ all day long?

Binary code offers a solitary distinction, but that distinction renders


itself indistinct through lack of a secondary distinguisher, which
only the addition of a third tone color can provide. In music, we
understand a dyadic harmony to be similarly indistinct, but with the
addition of a third note, the triad is the foundation of Western
music, expressing every subtle shade of meaning and delicate
nuance that even the most sensitive of composers can conjure.

Computer code is not a language. If you want to build an artificially


intelligent computer, you must construct a device that operates on a
tertiary code, not a binary one. Opps, that‘s impossible – unless
your computer is alive with a conscious spirit! But then you
wouldn‘t be a computer, would you? Control-Alt-Delete!

Just as a language cannot have less than three phonemes, it also


cannot have more than three phonemes. This is because there are
only three pure sound waves in nature:

(Y) Square wave


(H) Triangle wave
(W) Sawtooth wave

The fourth sound wave sine (H) is a composite of triangle (H) and
sawtooth (W).
85
Can a universe exist with more than three elements?

No. Why? There is no room in the Universe for a fourth element


because each element occupies one of three dimensions and we live
in a three-dimensional Universe. There is no fourth dimension;
Neither can there be – there‟s nowhere to go but up, down, all
around.

Can gravity somehow cause the firmament to move on its own?

No. Because the elements are infinitely small and separated by


infinitely small antimaterial gaps, there is an infinitely weak
gravitational pull acting on them (too strong for the elements to
escape, yet too week for them to coalesce – a virtual equilibrium).

The reason why elements cannot touch is because the gravitational


attraction would exceed infinity. Once that happens, there is neither
gravity nor element as the elemental miasma becomes a
monumental coalescence. But a woman has three dimensions and is
malleable to the touch. And how do I touch a woman if it
impossible for two objects to touch each other? Simple. I don‘t
really touch her; I touch her virtually:

(1 Cor 7:1) It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

What if by a sheer cosmic accident, a dead universe spawned


itself?

If the universe spawned itself, it would only last about 5 seconds –


because that‟s how long it would take everyone in it to die laughing!

We could stop here, but let‘s continue.

If a godless Big Bang happened, the Universe it ―created‖ would be


infinitesimally small (virtually speaking) and would last an
86
infinitesimally short time (virtually speaking). This Uni-curse would
eventually settle back to the virtual equilibrium that couldn‘t
possibly have spawned it to begin with! That‘s why scientists are
completely baffled, befuddled and bemused at, not only the
existence of the cosmos itself, but also, the seemingly endless
expansion of it. They want to have two miracles for the price of
none!

Please Lord Newton! Send us a messiah to solve the dilemma of a


mechanical universe with no “on” button!

No wonder these guys can‘t even turn their wives on! But let‘s play
―devil‘s advocate‖ and imagine a purely mechanical genesis, a Deus
ex machina requiring more faith than that of Christ! We are still
confronted with the predicament of consciousness. Remember that
self-consciousness which you have (and must have!) in order to read
this essay, requires a distinction from the Universe that a tethered
soul could not possess. You may be living in a material world, but
you are not a material girl! You‘re very awareness of the world can
only be accomplished by your separation from it, making you a de
facto free spirit. Remember how Jiminy Cricket rescued Pinocchio
with the brilliant affirmation: Let your conscience be your guide?
Remember the first law of Marian Dynamics, which states that
whatsoever moves possesses a living sprit? Even if ―science falsely
so-called‖ could develop a hypothesis to explain the perpetual
motion machine that seems to be the Universe, your very own
movements within that dead universe would necessitate the
existence of quintessence.

Now that we have established the existence of at least one spiritual


being in the Universe – you!, how do we know that there is another
spirit? A God-Creator Spirit? A good Spirit who loves us? A God of
recompense, but also of righteousness – ready to forgive? Ready to
save in accordance with the gospel? How do we know?
87
LMD will explain cosmologically why Roman Catholicism is the
true religion and why the Blessed Virgin Mary is God, LORD and
Coredemptrix. But for now, let‘s establish the existence of a
Creator-Spirit.

If (by some humongous chimichangas cosmic anomaly) the godless


mechanical Universe somehow spawned itself, then how did your
spirit manage to find its way into your flesh? You don‘t remember
making the decision to enter your body and Deus ex Machina can‘t
decide that for you – he takes forever to make up his mind!

But what if you did in fact manage to enter your body and then
wake up with holy amnesia? Then who wrote LMD? Who wrote the
Bible? Who taught you your name – celebrated your birthday? To
paraphrase the great philosopher Elmo, ―Who are the people in your
neighborhood?‖ Your spirit inhabits a mysterious Universe that
seems to walk, talk, twist and shout – c‟mon baby now! When the
Universe converses with you, you respond; when you converse with
it, it responds back. A wise man once said that you shall know a tree
by its fruits and if it looks like a God, sounds like a God and acts
like a God, then what else can it be? To the extent that the Universe
acknowledges you, it lives; To the extent that you acknowledge
Jehovah, you live. Life therefore is contingent upon witness, which
is why Jehovah asks us to be his witnesses (Is 43:10). But
Newtonians fail to acknowledge the living God whereby they are
eternally disacknowledged by him!

Tell the Universe that he is a machine and you will take the Name of
the LORD in vain. The Machine, who knows nothing beyond what
you tell it, will shift into high gear and roll right over you faster than
a tank in Tiananmen. Tell the Universe that he is God Jehovah, and
you will speak the Name of the LORD aright; And you will know
that Jesus loves you and that the laws of physics didn‘t affix him to
the cross, but the righteousness of Jehovah in Christ who deemed
repentance worthy of redemption – a judgment ratified in his flesh
88
and petrified by the Immaculate Heart – permitted your sins to
crucify the Universe by reason of consequentiality (and not of
causality); And that the Resurrection accomplished by the
Theotokos (through faith in Christ crucified) has forever abolished
death and the commandments from which death proceeds.

Now that we have ascertained your existence in a world inhabited


by a spirit (or spirits) other than yourself, how do you know that at
least one of these spirit beings created the Universe? Because the
Big Bang didn‘t happen billions of years ago, it happened today.
Remember that time is an illusion created by motion so there is no
real time separating you from the Creation event. Virtually, we are
in the third millennium BCE, but eternally we are in the beginning
with God. Before Abraham was, I AM! – and so are you as well!

Virtually, Christ lived in the first century, but eternally, Christ was
crucified before the foundation of the world; We were redeemed
before the foundation of the world; Mary is LORD God before the
foundation of the world! We are the ones we‟ve been waiting for!

Incidentally, if the Universe were somehow motive before the time


of Creation, God is smart enough to recognize the difference
between gravitational movement and conscientious movement.
Gravity can move objects mechanically, but it cannot witness God.
In that universe, the bat would screech without ever hearing its
echo.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to witness God without a body and the


spiritual body of God (and of us) is comprised of the Elemental
Constitution of the Universe which simply must have moved for the
Witness of God to be realized. In that sense, the Universe did
―move‖ before Creation, but this was an unconscious movement
which the consciousness of God witnessed and the self-
consciousness of God understood. The Consciousness became
submissive to the Unconsciousness and the Self-consciousness was
89
the offspring of this cosmic yin and yang. We too possess a
necessary unconscious, conscious, and self-conscious thought
precedent in order to complete a thought. This dominant-submissive
component to intelligent thought is the reason and the genesis of
heterosexual reproduction and the Biblical admonitions concerning
sexual behavior. The Universe requires a Man and a Woman in
order to think, and while Christian marriage is certainly a blessing,
we must not forget that it is also a ministry and the beginning of
them – not to mention the beginning of miracles! (John 2:1).

We sinned against the Universe and God died. It is as if for three


days after the crucifixion, the Universe hung on its own lifeless
gravitation; but on Resurrection Sunday, the Universe was renewed
by the Heart of Mary in the body of Jesus and us with him. We are
the Resurrection and the Life!

Can the Spirit somehow affect the quality of elemental matter?

The spirit is immaterial. It can assemble or dishevel compounds, but


cannot touch elemental matter. If elemental matter derived its
quality from the spirit, either the spirit would have a quality, which
it cannot have, or it would have to manipulate some aspect of the
element, which would disqualify it from being an element. The
quintessence is movement pure and simple and movement has no
color, flavor, quality or any other distinguishing characteristic other
than that it moves. If you want another kind of movement, try a
Haydn symphony. Otherwise, let‟s move on.

Could the antimaterial Universe move in consort with the


material one?

Yes, everything that happens in this Universe is repeated in the


antimaterial one. The only exception is that the antimaterial Pope
Benedict XVI is not alive, but instead moves in tandem with the
90
material one – kind of like a cosmic shadow. I guess that would
make him an antipope!

Could God be in the antimaterial Universe and we in the


material one?

Yes, but God cannot tell and neither can we. It doesn‘t matter at all
to the gospel – the Blessed Virgin is with us either way.
Incidentally, it is possible that the spirit could inhabit both the
material and antimaterial Universes simultaneously. God cannot tell
and neither can we.

It is as if I were born behind the wheel of a car that cannot stop.


There‘s no way for me to tell whether it is a Ford or a Lincoln, but
my mechanic works for Christ-ler!

Kite String Theory


The B.V.M. is like a child with a kite. She runs in the field, the kite
trailing behind her, until the kite ascends into the sky and is able to
fly on its own. She gives the kite string an occasional tug to keep the
kite aloft, but does no more work than is absolutely necessary to
sustain its flight.

The Universe is God‘s kite. God launched it and her hand sustains
and directs it, but no more than is absolutely necessary to achieve its
purpose. And what is that purpose? To love us! And our purpose in
the Universe is to love God back!

But make no mistake. This seemingly orderly Universe does not fly
on its own. God is perpetually tugging the kite strings, setting the
direction, adjusting the height – just enough effort to keep it going
91
and none besides. We see the cosmic kite strings at the subatomic
level and also in deep space where the Universe seems to
perpetually accelerate. We see God‘s hand in the miracles of the
Bible and in the charismatic gifts of the Holy Ghost. We see kite
strings in the perfect sunset, a fascinating rhythm, a still small voice.
We see the kite strings in the Catholic Church and the testimonies of
Christians throughout the millennia. Can you imagine an institution
lasting as long as the Catholic Church remaining virtually
unchanged from its conception until the present day? That ought to
be miracle enough for anybody!

The evil Cult of Newton fixates on the kite despite the string that
sustains it. To them, the kite mysteriously flies itself. They are
confident that the mystery of the self-flying kite will one day be
solved. Even the goddamn devil knows that the scientists are wrong.

Virtual Reality
Infinity is a real number, but not exactly. Hence, the Universe,
which is infinite with regard to its time and space, is therefore a
virtual reality. The Spirit however, is not virtual. We ourselves are
absolutely real; the Blessed Virgin is absolutely real; and Jesus
Christ absolutely died for our real sins. But he died on a virtual
cross after suffering for 11 virtual hours. Virtually, we pierced him
2000 years ago, but in reality, we pierced him this very day.

We are all perpetually at the foot of the cross, and yet we are
virtually a world away from 1st century Judea. In reality, God is
Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, but virtually speaking, she
is from everlasting to everlasting. If you flip a coin once, there is a
50% chance that it will land on heads at least once; But if you flip a
coin infinite times, there is an infinite chance that it will land on
92
heads at least once. However, it is not exactly a 100% chance; but
neither is it exactly less than 100%. We live in a virtual world.

Does the inexactitude of the Universe mean that there is a real


possibility that the Universe could one day come to an end? No.
That would be a snowball‟s chance in hell.

Here, we must distinguish between statistical infinitude and


geometric infinitude. Statistically, there is no real chance that the
Universe will end, but geometrically, there is a real but inexact
extent to which the Universe can progress. In other words: If you
roll a pair of dice infinite times, there is a real probability that you
will never roll snake eyes; but if you wind up with snake eyes, there
is absolutely no probability that you didn‘t. Hence, though we may
live in a dicey universe at times, there is no real probability that it
will ever end – the die is cast!

Statistically, ½ of infinity equals infinity, but geometrically, it


doesn‘t. However, when scientists, economists, mathematicians and
political scientists mix the two disciplines in order to formulate
models and shape policy, they run into problems (mathematically
and otherwise!) Applied mathematics? Applied to what – God? That
would be square!

It‟s About Time!


Divinity = divine sequence. (not a real time, it can be thought of as
beforetime) I was perfect here; I rebelled here; I repented here.
While Christ entered into divine sequence at the moment of his
transfiguration, Mary was immaculately conceived there and
perpetually participates in redemption with Christ as LORD, God
and Creator. As Regina Coelis, she speaks the Tetragrammaton in
93
divinity, but not in reality. In reality, God does not speak on her
own, but that which she hears, she speaks:

(1 Cor 14:35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Eternality = real time. in reality, I sinned in one divinity, but was


reborn (repented) in another; However, virtually, I am Immaculate
Conception with Mary. If I was born really perfect, then I would be
virtually perfect. Not enough real time for me to sin. Time is an
illusion, and though my flesh is under this illusion, my spirit is not. I
am not virtually perfect post-repentance, because repentance is itself
a form of disobedience – but I am judged righteous by Christ in
divine sequence before creation. That divinity was lost. However, I
am virtually redeemed, having crossed over from the lost divinity
into the 2nd divinity. Hence there are two creation moments – the old
world which was destroyed and the new world which is redeemed;
Christ crucified and Christ resurrected in the Immaculate Heart.

Temporality = subsequential time. there is no beginning or end here.


Subsequent sins and subsequent restorations to the spirit seem to
occur here, but don‘t really. There is only one sin and one baptism
for the remission of sins. Christ hung on the cross in virtual time
knowing that he really didn‘t have to be born at all.

(Acts 17:26) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before
appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Does infinitude mean that there is a real possibility that heaven


could end? No, infinitude means that there is a real parameter to
eternity which virtually is never exceeded. Hence, if you already
exist temporally, then you will live forever by virtue of infinitude.
However, if you were not eternally alive, then you cannot virtually
exist, which is unfortunately more than can be said for the victims
of abortion.
94

Aborted fetuses were really alive but are virtually nonexistent. Just
as we have a real end that virtually never comes, aborted fetuses
had a real beginning that virtually never comes. Hence abortion is
murder, but not temporally – it is an eternal murder.

Aborted fetuses don‘t go to heaven as some Protestant


denominations teach; neither will their repentant mothers be
reunited with them. You can‘t go to heaven unless you are born
again and you can‘t be born again unless you were born in the first
place. It stands to reason that many of these victims of abortion
would have converted had they been born whereby the population
of heaven is forever reduced by the sin of infanticide.

Pop Quiz: What two Bible characters were survivors of


attempted abortions?
Answer: Moses (Ex 1:16) and Jesus (Matt 2:13-16; Rev 12:4)

That brings me to my next point: Abortion doesn‘t just reduce the


population of heaven, it also makes life here on earth worse for all
of us. There are no unwanted or unplanned children, and every
person that has ever lived or ever will has a vital ministry regardless
of whether or not they convert. It‘s not above your pay-grade to
know that abortion is a worse crime than slavery – at least slaves
have a shot at going to heaven!

And what is the difference between an abortion and a childbirth?


Both involve the removal of a fetus from a womb! We may as well
deliver the child, cart it out of the delivery room and tell her it‟s
aborted! We can even give her earmuffs so she doesn‟t hear the
damn thing cry! Same procedure!!

But what about rape and incest? Women have sex emotionally and
therefore cannot orgasm under duress. Even I would have a problem
performing at knife point and my genitals are on the outside – how
95
much less a woman? But wicked women cry rape for naught
knowing that the law favors women in matters of sex and child
custody – and reproductive rights are just the icing on the bitch
cake!

And by the way, people who talk about „not wanting them to be
punished with a baby‟ should take a moment to reflect on their own
precarious beginnings! The only person ever punished with a child
was Christ Jesus and you are his son!

And when did “Yes we can” become “Yes we won‟t”? When did the
audacity of hope become the audacity of nope? Cannot the one who
ordains kings also take them out? Dana Reeve was stricken with
terminal lung cancer shortly after her speech at the DNC
advocating embryonic stem-cell research (and she never touched a
cigarette) – remember?

Black people really should know better than to support planned-


eugenics-parenthood! Have we forgotten about the government
sterilization campaigns in the black community during the 20th
century – the so-called Mississippi appendectomies? And at the
dawn of the 21st, a Louisiana state representative proposes a bill to
bribe the impoverished into sterilization while the rich are given
tax-breaks the more kids they have! How far have we come from the
days when plantation owners used to force us to have as many
children as possible!

And now we want to have universal coverage in Amerik.k.k.a? But


how can we? The Constitution does not legally define what exactly
health is! Is abortion and euthanasia healthy? Is human cloning
healthy? What about hockey moms and Joe six-packs – are they
healthy? The courts already legislate from the bench; will they now
prognosticate from it?
96
And even as we speak, doctors are continually being let go from
hospitals for refusing to administer reproductive procedures that
violate their own personal code of ethics? Catholic hospitals are
being shut down by the courtocratic intifada. What‘s next? Will
Catholic orphanages lose their license for refusing gay adoption?
Will Catholic churches lose their tax-exempt status for refusing gay
marriage? Will Catholic universities lose their accreditation for
teaching the gospel? Will Catholic clergy lose their freedom of
assembly for advocating justice? Will Catholic laity lose their
freedom of speech for criticizing the war?

There is a moment in the movie ―Speed‖ where Dennis Hopper asks


Keanu Reeves ―What do you do? What do you do?‖ Well the time
has come, and yet already is, when we as a society must either shit
now or get off the pot! The question is not whether or not we‘re
going to have a state-run church, the question is, Which way will it
go? The Church of the Creator, or the Cult of the Creature? The
Assembly of the First Born, or the Dissembly of the Unborn? A
Royal Priesthood, or a Spoiled Beasthood? And what about the
establishment clause? You can have a separation of church and state
if you want, but ought we to have a separation of Truth and state as
well? Is this the Spirit of Appomattox? – Glory, Glory hallelujah;
His truth is marching on! - What truth?! What liberating truth?!
Friends, Romans, countrymen, we are all on this bus together and it
ain‘t stopping and it can‘t slow down! What will we do?! What will
we do?!

Jeringalem
In Aborigine lore, there is a Divine Sequence, or Beforetime in
which everything that happens in the world already took place and
every decision made was preordained. They called it Altjeringa, but
97
White settlers dubbed it Dreamtime, or ‗the sacred once upon a time
time.‘ Mention of this parallel event sequence is alluded to in the
movie The Last Wave from the acclaimed Australian film director
Peter Weir:

Aboriginals believe in two forms of time; two parallel streams of activity.


One is the daily objective activity, the other is an infinite spiritual cycle
called the "dreamtime", more real than reality itself. Whatever happens in
the dreamtime establishes the values, symbols, and laws of Aboriginal
society. It was believed that some people of unusual spiritual powers had
contact with the dreamtime. (Peter Weir, The Last Wave)

One of the most striking aspects of the Altjeringa with regard to


their cosmology is that they don‘t perceive creation as a fixed
moment in time, but rather as an on-going event. Rather than a six-
day creation followed by a Sabbath, the Aborigine god, whose name
is Altjira – note the similarity to the Hebraic Jireh (as in Jehovah
Jireh) – is perpetually in the act of creating the Universe (a kind of
perpetual first day).

Wouldn‘t it be pretty classy if we Christians could learn from our


Aborigine neighbors and adopt a view of God not as a distant
hands-off creator, but as a Spirit who is forever in the process of
creation while at the same time resting on that which she has
created? Wouldn‘t it be glorious as well to see, in creation, our own
relevance to the creative and perhaps even the redemptive process
through the decisions we had already made in a beforetime
occurrence that we continuously affect each and every day?

Burned at the Stake


My last girlfriend was an absolute witch! No, seriously, she
practiced Wicca. I guess that would make her my hex-girlfriend.
98
As with all witches, she had a pet cat named Charm (and what a
charming little pussy it was!) However, as a devout Catholic myself,
I didn‘t find her newfound interest in wicca particularly amusing.

Time and again, I tried to convince her that there is no salvation in


sorcery or magic, and that the real magic resides in one‘s ability to
love one‘s neighbor; but needless to say, she was not enchanted at
all by my Christian apologetics. Relics and runes; covens and
cauldrons; mystic potions and esoteric wisdom; what power do they
possess that such an unbreakable spell could be cast on such a
brilliant sprite?

Alas! We finally went our separate ways and although we no longer


speak, I do continue to have her in my prayers; in my farewell letter
to her, I did manage to conjure the presence of mind to render my
most sincere advice regarding the path she had chosen, having had
some previous dalliances in the dark arts myself (although I never
mentioned this to her while we were together):

ADVICE FOR YOUNG WICCANS


(read if you dare)

1) A spell may be rendered in any language, but Latin is to be


preferred because of its precision. Modern English doesn‘t have
all the tenses (and so forth) of Latin and if there is any
ambiguity of meaning in the incantation, the spirits could use
such a grammatical loophole to turn the spell back on the
person who cast it.

2) If you misspeak or otherwise stumble in the middle of an


incantation, the spell is ruined. Don‘t just pick up where you
left off, start all over again from scratch. The spirits don‘t know
that you misspoke and may act on it. Although it is not
absolutely necessary, chanting your spells to a musical tone or
even to a drum beat (as Voodoo practitioners do) is
recommended in order to signal to the spirits when the spell has
begun and when it has concluded.
99
3) You can‘t change someone‘s personality by sorcery. A person‘s
identity is out-of-bounds to spirits. This is because a spirit
cannot touch another spirit. There‘s nothing to touch. The
spirit, or quintessence (as Greek cosmologists used to call it) is
immaterial and truly transcendental of the physical universe (as
opposed to the other four Greek elements: earth, wind, fire and
water). If you want wisdom and courage, go to Church; But the
spirits cannot give these things to you. Love potions don‘t
work, but what if they did? Could you be happy with someone
whose love you forced? I‘d say you‘d be better off alone (if
you weren‘t already!)

4) Never conclude your incantation without ordering the spirits to


leave the person being hexed at the mention of Jesus or the sign
of the cross. This is because, while the spirits know that Jesus
of Nazareth died on the cross, they don‘t understand why. If the
person being hexed calls in a Catholic exorcist, he will read the
Rite of Exorcism which contains verbal explanations and
chants regarding the Passion of our LORD. If the spirits don‘t
vacate the room before the conclusion of these age-old prayers,
they (the spirits) will learn that they are damned and will
instantly perish in the bitterness of their own frustration.

5) Don‘t cast a spell – ever! Now that you know I‘m an ex-wizard,
understand that I have complete Solomonic knowledge
regarding the unseen world of demons and the black arts, and I
do hereby summon the Spirit of Lilith to strike any witch who
casts a spell based on the instructions contained within this
document with instant death, excluding myself.

The Desert
I drilled for oil. But in order to get to the oil, I first had to cross a
desert. Once I had crossed the desert, I had to penetrate it. I had to
bring what was underneath the desert up to the surface. There are
winds in the desert, and mirages. It is easy to become lost.
100
I came across a man in the desert – a camel trader. He told me
where I could find oil. He said that oil could be found in the desert.
That is why I came to the desert – to drill for oil.

Blackballed!
“I‟ll never understand your love of basketball!” I said to my father.
“Why do you enjoy watching people running back and forth on a court?
Why not attend a concert or a ballet?”
“A ballet?” he laughed. “Why do you enjoy watching people jumping up
and down on a stage?”

I‘m no major league sports fan, but of all the sports I‘ve been forced
to watch at my father‘s house, I find basketball to be the most
edifying.

For one thing, I‘ll never understand the miracle of the three-point
jump shot. How does a man leap into the air and throw a ball from
so far away and yet still make the basket? Maybe if I paid more
attention in school, I‘d be able to calculate the rate of speed and
parabolic trajectory of the ball, but these guys are obviously making
these complex calculations using a different mindset. Maybe when
the public school system integrates that ―different‖ mindset into its
curriculum (grading sports and music equal to math and science)
we will have an overall better integration of our society.

As it is now, we only test a certain kind of intelligence in school and


neglect other ways of thinking. This leads to frustration on the part
of those who just don‘t think that way. We are stigmatizing a group
of people based on outmoded and elitist standards which favor one
metric of genius over another. Of course, this wholly arbitrary and
oppressive standard was designed and perpetuated by the same
group of people who benefit most from it.
101
So the next time you see a man on a court with a b-ball in his hand,
remember the man in the African bush who first launched his
wooden spear into the heart of the lion and ask yourself: Who is our
teacher? What is His standard?

On the Bottle
I found a message in a bottle;
It said, Bottle.
I opened my Bible in the Spirit;
It said, Spirit.
Does that mean I found a message in a bottle?
or a bottle in a message?
If you say, The bottle is in the message only,
then you blaspheme the bottle.
If you say, The Spirit is in the Bible only,
then you blaspheme the Spirit.
Later, I picked up the bottle
and on it was written: 100-proof spirit.

The Parable of the Box


I was trapped in a box that could only be opened from the outside.
Within that box, I found a replica of the self-same box in which I
was hopelessly trapped, and imagined that someone else might be
trapped inside that box. “There‟s no hope for me” I thought, “but at
least I can free someone else from their box”; whereupon I opened
the replica of the box and discovered that the miraculous hand of
God had liberated me from my own.
102

¿El Pueblo Unido?


I asked Mary if Christendom will one day be as united as it was in
the first millennium. But Mary told me this will not be the case. It is
somewhat of a Catholic myth that the Church was united from the
day of Pentecost until the Great Schism. Even the disciples had to
put up with Protestants:

(Mark 9:38)And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting
out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us. 39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there
is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak
evil of me. 40For he that is not against us is on our part.

Of course, God is not the author of confusion – there is one truth


and that truth is Catholic. Nevertheless, God made use of Man‘s
confusion in order to broaden the scope of her ministry. You can‘t
fight a forest fire with flame retardant only – sometimes, you need
to start a back blaze. While the flame retardant and the back blaze
are mutually opposed, both are necessary to lessen the extent of the
fire damage and ultimately put it out.

In a cosmic civil war, the Protestants are like Sherman‘s army,


cutting off the supply-lines with Catholicism in order to make
Georgia howl! So let‘s have civility in our interfaith discourse, while
looking forward to the day when all will be brought into the
Catholic Faith:

(Eph 4:13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of Christ:
103
It is a luxurious ministry to sit in a helicopter dropping water over a
raging fire, but the Protestants are having a pretty horrendous time.
The children of Jehovah‘s Witnesses cannot take part in school
holiday concerts; Episcopalians are repenting to gay priests;
Cessationists are blaspheming the Holy Spirit; Pentecostals are
telling their kids that they must speak in tongues – or else!;
Adventists face workplace discrimination because of their Sabbath
commitment; White Evangelicals are being told who to vote for;
Baptists lift up their hands in the abject fear of holy hell – the only
thing missing in this wild bunch is Ernest Borgnine! And yet, I
understand that their ministry is crucial to the cause of the gospel.
So when I use the term ―separated brothers,‖ understand that the
emphasis here is definitely on the word ―brothers.‖

The Burden of Irie


The word tyre comes from the old English term for wheel (or more
specifically, the metal bar that, having been heated to malleability,
is curled over the spokes of the wheel, binding them together).

In Isaiah 23, the burden of Tyre is revealed. However, only when


one understands the Biblical Tyre as a prophetic allusion to the
island of Jamaica, are we able to read this passage in a much
different light. After all, we are the irie isle!

(Is 23:1-6) Colonization and Slavery

Tarshish (Spain) is expelled by the Chittim (Britain):

1The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so


that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is
revealed to them.
104

The merchants of Zidon (Xanadu) replenish the inhabitants of the


isle (the British traded heavily with China during this period):

2Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon,
that pass over the sea, have replenished.

The seed of Sihor (sugar) makes Jamaica a mart of nations:

3And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her
revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

Brittons are humiliated when the strength of the sea (Africans)


speak out against the African genocide:

4Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of
the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish
up young men, nor bring up virgins.

British slavery is likened to that of the Israelites in Egypt:

5As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the
report of Tyre.

With the British capture of the former Spanish colony (Tarshish),


the inhabitants of the isle howl:

6Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

(Is 23:7-11) Port Royal Cataclysm

The joyous city (Port Royal) brings damnation on upon itself:

7Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet
shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
105
The former Jamaican capital (the crowning city) is destroyed in an
act of divine vengeance:

8Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose
merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
9The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and
to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

The city sinks beneath the waters:

10Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no


more strength.

The LORD ordained the earthquake that destroyed the merchant city
and shook the kingdoms:

11He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the
LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy
the strong holds thereof.

(Is 23:12-14) Abolitionist Movement

The oppressed plead their cause to the British parliament without


success:

12And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin,


daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou
have no rest.

The Assyrian conquest and colonization of the Chaldees is quashed:

13Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian
founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers
thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
106
Slavery is abolished without reparations (though their masters
receive compensation for ‗loss of property‘):

14Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

(Is 23:15-18) Jamaican Ascendancy

Jamaica is forgotten during the 70 year reign of a king (Queen


Victoria). Although Queen Victoria's reign lasted only 63 years, this
was because she was barred from ruling for 6 years as a child:

15And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten
seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy
years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

Post-Victorian Jamaica emerges a music capital:

16Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

Jamaica achieves independence from Great Britain (she shall be


turned to her hire), but greed, corruption and international intrigue
fetter the Jamaican people:

17And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD
will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication
with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

But the LORD shall consecrate the irie isle; and a new generation of
Christian leadership will work to the material benefit all Jamaicans:

18And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it
shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them
that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
107

Helen of Tyre
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

What phantom is this that appears


Through the purple mist of the years,
Itself but a mist like these?
A woman of cloud and of fire;
It is she; it is Helen of Tyre,
The town in the midst of the seas.

O Tyre! in thy crowded streets


The phantom appears and retreats,
And the Israelites that sell
Thy lilies and lions of brass,
Look up as they see her pass,
And murmur "Jezebel!"

Then another phantom is seen


At her side, in a gray gabardine,
With beard that floats to his waist;
It is Simon Magus, the Seer;
He speaks, and she pauses to hear
The words he utters in haste.

He says: "From this evil fame,


From this life of sorrow and shame,
I will lift thee and make thee mine;
Thou hast been Queen Candace,
And Helen of Troy, and shalt be
The Intelligence Divine!"
108
Oh, sweet as the breath of morn,
To the fallen and forlorn
Are whispered words of praise;
For the famished heart believes
The falsehood that tempts and deceives,
And the promise that betrays.

So she follows from land to land


The wizard's beckoning hand,
As a leaf is blown by the gust,
Till she vanishes into night.
O reader, stoop down and write
With thy finger in the dust.

O town in the midst of the seas,


With thy rafts of cedar trees,
Thy merchandise and thy ships,
Thou, too, art become as naught,
A phantom, a shadow, a thought,
A name upon men's lips.

Genetic Exchange Student


Do you want a colorblind society or a society where differences are
acknowledged and respected? As it is, we seem to be trying to
systematically whiten the world using the education system. We are
also trying to defeminize the world, a defamation that began with
the removal of Marian doctrine from western culture during the
Protestant Reformation. And centuries later, what do we see coming
out of the Protestant countries? Cruel Victorian misogyny in
juxtaposition with the sexual nihilism of the GLBT movement.
109
We cannot live in a post-racial androgynous society. Race and
gender are so integral to existence that to somehow get ―beyond‖
them would be tantamount to intellectual suicide. Truth is, we need
a sexual and ethnic identity in order to complete our thought
process, which would account for the masculine and feminine tenses
occurring in some world languages. In order to live, we must
understand Reality which, in the absence of gender and race, would
become incomprehensible. A man perceives the Universe differently
than a woman and there is no ―third‖ way to perceive it. Neither is
there a way to approach Ultimate Reality from the standpoint of
androgyny.

Even the God who made us has a gender and that gender is
feminine. This is because God must think and thought requires an
identification of Ultimate Reality that must be distinct from the
observer. This necessary dualism is the cosmic impetus for the
natural duality of human gender. Therefore, it is impossible to live
without possessing either a masculine or feminine gender, which
you would be (and must be) eternally reminded of in the flesh.

You can adopt a new race (like Ruth who married into Judaism), but
you cannot adopt a new gender. This is because our minds are like
vehicles moving forward in time and while race is a direction, sex is
the propulsion. We can change course, but we can‘t stop moving –
that would be nihilism! Let‘s continue down this road, girlfriend! –
you see, while race is like an operating system, sex is like the
hardware running it. Now, I can run Office on either Mac or Vista,
but my Mac can never become a Vista – that would be Microhard!

So if you‘re in a man‘s body now, you will always be a man – and if


not, then you‘re once, twice, three times a lady. But if you want to
be Black like me, go for it! And if I want to become a White man,
so be it! I won‘t be ostracized by insecure Blacks who are offended
at the sight of brother who acts too White for them. I know who I
am!
110

Now that we understand sex and race to be a key component to


intelligent thought, we likewise observe that a ―post-racial‖ or
―colorblind‖ society is just not possible. That would be a propulsion
without a direction; a computer without an operating system. The
only way we could achieve this would be to force everyone on earth
to walk and talk like a White man. Of course, this would portend the
propagation a purely homogenized society (self-nullified by the
absence of any heterogeneity) or, in other words, an ethnically
cleansed Amerik.k.k.a, which God would righteously damn.

To be sure, it is entirely possible to educate the blackness out of our


kids, but why? When in Rome do as the Romans do? Well,
congratulations – I‘m Peter the Roman! Thanks! I speak a language
that is not natural to the shape of my tongue and lips; I wear
fashions that are not complementary to my natural physique – it is
no wonder that Blacks and Jews make such great comedians – we
live in a profoundly absurd world! – a world in which Black women
wear blonde hair weaves, red lipstick and blue eye-shadow, and
wonder why they can‘t find a Black man!

Doubtless, public school integration is integral to our integrity, but


it becomes meaningless if the physical integration is unaccompanied
by an integration of ideas. We‘re supposed to be a ―melting pot,‖
but Black kids reading White-authored textbooks on White subjects
using White-centric teaching methods is a recipe for a pot that won‘t
melt! Black kids don‘t do well in school and those who do wind up
adopting White personality traits! Meanwhile, my own brother
winds up languishing in remedial limbo and chronic truancy –
eventually dropping out, and I‘m a post-graduate product of a
pedagogy of White-oppression with no idea who the hell I am!

California Screamin‟
Way out west (in a state so blue, it shows up on most maps as part
of the Pacific!), is a city I like to call Lost Angeles.

So-named for its desirable weather, Lost Angeles has quickly


blossomed into an entertainment mecca. But whether you‘ve come
here to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or perhaps add your own
star to it, there are a few rules which, if observed, will help you to
get the most out of your LADOT transit pass.

For instance, when dining on the Sunset Strip, understand that there
are different kinds of water, none of them under $5 (gratuity
included!) Also, if you‘re Black and shopping on Rodeo Drive,
don‘t forget to bring a scarf or a muffler (due, of course, to the draft
of the security guard breathing down your neck!) – and by the way,
a scarf is just about all you can afford on Rodeo!

If you‘re in West Hollywood and you decide to go to a nightclub,


don‘t be surprised when your bartender is a ‗buff‘ topless adonis
with blonde highlights. There are many gay nightclubs in LA, and
the majority of the people in them are heterosexual. But when I see
a dude dressed like Cher asking me if I believe in life after love, it
makes wonder if I can turn back time!

There are many great beaches in LA, from Venice Beach to the
Santa Monica Pier. However, due to the ice-cold water, you may
find your swimsuit to be decidedly less utilitarian and perhaps more
aesthetic than you might have hoped. This, of course, is the reason
why Malibu surfers wear full-bodied wetsuits; but if you still feel
ready to catch a ‗gnarly‘ wave and ‗hang ten‘, then what more can I
say?: horizontal fin = dolphin; vertical fin = shark!
117

There are three things you need if you want to survive in LA: a car,
an agent, and a pair of chopsticks! Of course, LA is known for its
multiculturalism, whether it be Asian or Hispanic (and if you put
‗em together, you have a Pilipino!), and then there are the West-
coast Blacks – Westside!!!

Blacks, in particular, tend to live mostly in the neighborhoods of


Inglewood, Compton and Watts – but if you‟re not sure whether or
not you‟re in a Black neighborhood, ask a cop – they‟re parked on
every corner! – and if you‘re still not sure, ask the pizza place
whether or not they deliver there! West-coast Blacks like to wear
bandanas and do-rags (which unfortunately are more utilitarian than
they are aesthetic), but if you want any more proof of the Holy
Ghost Resurrection power, it doesn‘t get any better than a Black LA
church (with people getting saved and healed!; 80-year-old women
dancing in the aisles like teenagers! – the more riotous the church,
the less riotous the city!)

Sometimes, Black people come across as being terse (even rude!),


but that‘s all part of the charm; you see, there‘s only two kinds of
people that‘ll ever tell you the truth to your face: kids and Black
folk! But oftentimes, our abruptness belies our uncanny ability to
say something without saying it! It is easy to hang a Black man on
his words because the pacing and tenor of his speech is where the
true meaning lies, so don‘t get all bent out of shape when you hear a
Black pastor utter God Damn Amerik.k.k.a in a decontextualized
snippet, or a woman who is proud of her country for the first time!
It‘s a dramatic device – deal with it!

Now while Blacks tend to live in South Central, the Mexicans


mostly live in the barrios of East LA, where it isn‘t uncommon to
find a Rosary hanging from a gang-tattooed neck! However, while
all Mexicans are not the same, the one thing they all seem to have in
118
common is a ‗Mayan calendar‘ wall-clock, a beaded car-seat cover,
and grandmother from Nicaragua!

In San Bernardino, the visages of Chicano culture can readily be


seen in the Mexican flags etched onto rear-windshields of low-
riding pickups and tacked to the ventanas of linoleum-tiled kitchens.
On the corner, you are likely to see some enterprising vatos with
money-belts selling churros and hot tamales from the trunks of their
El Caminos.

Every gringo knows that if you need help moving or lifting


something, there are Mexican day-laborers standing in the parking
lot of any Home Depot, but when limousine liberals in their
Spanish-tiled Beverly Hills ‗haciendas‘ sip their pinot grigioes out
of gold-trimmed glasses while listening to Santana beneath a wall-
mounted Tijuana Sombrero, remember the Mexican farm-workers
hunched over the vineyards of Sonoma County and Napa Valley,
the sweat of their sun-burnt foreheads baptizing the grapes of wrath
that never seem to fill their straw-thatched baskets!

In addition to the Mexicans and Blacks, LA is also the home of


‗drive-thru‘ sushi, ‗all-u-can-eat‘ dim sum, and is perhaps the only
place in America where you can get seaweed as a pizza topping! Of
course, it is a foregone conclusion that the Asians are smarter and
more efficient than us, and that it is only a matter of time before
they take over the universe; but if a Japanese ever became president,
perhaps the only difference would be that instead of a ‗chicken in
every pot,‘ we would have a ‗duck in every wok‘!

The ‗unofficial‘ beer of the ‗People‘s Republic of Santa Monica‘ is


Asahi (especially when it comes with a styrofoam bowl of vegetable
teriyaki and a side of miso soup to go!) But if an Asian girl starts to
take off her shoes upon entering your apartment, don‘t get too
excited – it‟s a well-established Asian tradition not to wear shoes
indoors!
119

Finally, LA is known for its ‗laid back‘ attitude. After all, they did
name their airport ‗lax‘! But before you invest in sunglasses,
electrolysis and maps to the stars‘ homes, remember that there are
no small parts, only small actors – except for the nude scenes of
course!

Jobama
In Hollywood, when two famous people are romantically linked,
they oftentimes receive a combination-name (or portmanteau) such
as TomKat or Brangelina. Most recently, this device has been used
to link Barack Obama with his running mate Joe Biden. But Jobama
may have a deeper significance when the now President-elect is
compared to the namesake of all Josephs, that is, Joe the Hebrew!:

(Ps 105:17-22) He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold
for a servant: 18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him
go free. 21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

Whether it was Obama‘s selection of Joe Biden, Palin‘s appeal to


Joe Six-pack, or the Republican everyman Joe the Plumber, the
national zeitgeist during the 2008 presidential election seemed to be
whispering, Joe… Joe…

Of course, Psalm 105 alludes to the liberated slave and ethnic


minority Joseph whose meteoric ascendancy to the Egyptian prime
ministry rivals that of our own first Black president. Surely, the
comparison is uncanny, and yet if we read more deeply into the life
and times of Joe the Hebrew, we are confronted with even more
uncanny parallels!
120

For instance, Jobama is seen as a redemptive figure whose


popularity helps to unite the country, improve the social-standing of
Blacks, and mollify White guilt; similarly, Joe the Hebrew took
away Rachel‘s reproach:
(Gen 30:22-24) And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to
her, and opened her womb. 23And she conceived, and bare a son; and
said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24And she called his name
Joseph;

Jobama was also seen as a post-racial candidate with a colorful


background; similarly, Joe the Hebrew had a coat of many colors:
(Gen 37:3) Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because
he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

Jobama was seen as the fulfillment of Dr. King‘s dream, for which
he was resented by some of his political rivals; similarly, Joe the
Hebrew was hated for his dream:
(Gen 37:5) And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and
they hated him yet the more.

Jobama was attacked by the Religious Right and likened to the


beast of the antichrist in the fundamentalist media; similarly, the
brothers of Joe the Hebrew tried to implicate him with a beast:

(Ge 37:19-20) And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer
cometh. 20Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into
some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we
shall see what will become of his dreams.

The notion that Jobama was an Arab was used by some as a cover
for their ethnic hatred; similarly, the brothers of Joe the Hebrew
sold him to the Arabs in order to remove their own culpability:
121
(Gen 37:27) Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our
hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren
were content.

A former president‘s wife made Jobama an offer to run with her as


her VP:

(Gen 39:7) And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife
cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

Jobama helped Blacks to move beyond slavery and Jim Crow;


similarly, the children of Joe the Hebrew helped him forget all his
toil and affliction:

(Ge 41:51-52) And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh:
For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's
house. 52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

Jobama assuaged negative stereotypes (and surprised many in his


own party) by his well-spoken demeanor and intellectual prowess:

(Gen 41:38-39) And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a
one as this is, 39Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is
none so discreet and wise as thou art:

Jobama warned of a bad economy and what appeared to be an


imminent worldwide depression:

(Ge 41:54) And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as
Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands;

Jobama is now angling congress to release TARP funds for his


economic relief package; similarly, Joe the Hebrew opened the
storehouses of Egypt to provide famine relief:

(Gen 41:55-56) And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people
cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go
122
unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 56And the famine was over all the
face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the
Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

Jobama had to disassociate himself from his brethren for political


purposes, and was even accused of ―talking down‖ to black people:

(Ge 42:7-8) And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made
himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto
them, Whence come ye? 8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew
not him.

Jobama supported a government buyout of private banking firms


during the market meltdown; similarly, Joe the Hebrew used
treasury funds to purchase privately owned land during the famine:

Ge 47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over
them: so the land became Pharaoh's.

Jobama plans to make jobs a priority during his administration;


similarly, Joe the Hebrew instituted his own jobs stimulus package:

(Gen 47:23) Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought
you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye
shall sow the land.

Jobama plans to raise the capital gains tax rate to 20%; similarly,
Joe the Hebrew levied his own 20% tax:

(Ge 47:24) And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give
the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of
the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for
food for your little ones.

As you can see, there are many parallels between Joe the Hebrew
and our current leadership. But perhaps the greatest impact our new
president will make is the new precedent he set as to who can attain
123
to the highest office. What a powerful symbol it is to the rest of the
world (and to every society gripped by sectarian violence and
intergenerational ethnic rivalries) that such a reconciliation can
occur in so great a nation:

(Gen 50:14-20) And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren,
and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his
father. 15And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they
said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the
evil which we did unto him. 16And they sent a messenger unto Joseph,
saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 17So shall ye say
unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and
their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the
trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when
they spake unto him. 18And his brethren also went and fell down before
his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 19And Joseph said
unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20But as for you, ye
thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as
it is this day, to save much people alive.

Dr. Feelgood
Dr. Feelgood ain‟t nothin‟ but a college-educated, lab-coat-
wearing, straight-up pusher. He moonlights as a mental health
professional, but once he‟s got you stretched out on that plush
leather couch, my man will offer you pills for your mental ills (but
it‟s gonna‟ cost ya‟ a lot o‟bills). Now pimp this…

There are two 20th century ideologies that took their cue from pagan
mysticism and esoteric philosophy: Nazism and Psychoanalysis. But
what else do these two ideologies have in common? – and
remember, don‟t talk to me, talk to the puppet!
124
Psychoanalysis has nothing to do with mental health, it is (from its
inception) a therapeutic technique. But of course, we wouldn‘t base
civic laws and theological principles on a ―technique,‖ would we?
That would be crazy!

And what is crazy? In the Book of Acts, Peter and the apostles were
branded crazy for speaking in tongues (Acts 2:15; 1 Cor 14:23);
David was dancing naked in the temple (2 Sam 6:20) and foaming
at the mouth in the Philistine court (1 Sam 21:13). Were they crazy?
Am I crazy because the Spirit of God moves my body and inspires
me to speak in tongues? Was Nostradamus crazy when he penned
the following?:

Le penultiesme du surnom du prophete


Prendra Diane pour son jour et repos:
Loing vaguer par frenetique teste
Et deliverant un grand people d‟impos. (II.28)

The second-to-last letter of the prophet‟s surname


Will take Diane for its day of rest:
He will wander far in his madness,
Delivering a great nation from subjection.

If the majority of the people in this world are at some level insane,
then wouldn‘t it stand to reason that the people who this world
brands as crazy are actually the sane ones? And yet we see our
mental health facilities filled with priests and prophets, visionaries
and demoniacs in need of exorcism. We don‘t need Dr. Feelgood,
we need Dr. Realgood! But to all my brutha‟s getting stuck with
needles and electrically shocked for preaching the gospel, keep tight
and know that the day is coming – and already is! – when we‟re all
gonna‟ fly this cuckoo‟s nest (and when they ask why you stopped
taking your meds, tell „em to ask the goddamn pill!):

Why is it that when we talk to God, we‘re said to be praying; but when
God talks to us, we‘re schizophrenic?
(Lily Tomlin)
125

Science is a method; Psychoanalysis is a technique. We cannot base


our laws on a method or a technique. If our laws are based on
methods and techniques, then they shall be at their whim. That
would be fine except for one thing – we are at the whim of the law!
If the law is at the whim of Psychology (and we are at the whim of
the law), then we are at the whim of Psychology. But the law says
that it is illegal to conduct psychological experimentation on human
subjects without their consent. Therefore, it is illegal to base our
laws on Science or Psychology unless we sign a consent form. That
would be democracy! But the rule of the majority can oppress the
minority, which is why we need the courts to intervene. That would
be a courtocracy!

Now let‟s do a little word association. I‟ll say a word and you tell
me the first thought that comes to your mind:

 Patriot

 Traitor

 Freedom

 Shackles

 Democracy

 Tyranny

 Equality

 Relativity

 Self-evident truths

 Consenting adults
126
 Give me liberty!

 Give me death!

If the patriots walked into today‘s High Court, they would be hauled
away in plastic handcuffs for daring to believe in eternal,
unchanging and self-evident values and moral imperatives! They
would be mocked in our media and derided in our Universities! –
and aren‟t they already! We have replaced self-evident truths with
psycho-scientific theories; ideology with methodology! The center
cannot hold! Our forefathers‘ blood cries out from the ground – how
long will this courtocratic tyranny subvert the will of the people and
the Spirit of Liberty who gave it?

Where is the God of New England? – the Spirit of ‟76? The Sons of
Liberty staring down impending British warships? And what do we
see on our horizon? A ghastly culture of death ruled by a judicial
tyranny, having once cast off the British yoke only to exchange His
Majesty for His Magistrate!:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness.

But what of minority rights? How can we guarantee that minorities


won‘t be oppressed by the tyranny of the majority? By basing our
laws on inalienable rights that cannot be impeached by any future
government! That would require and infallible constitution, but the
U.S. Constitution is not, nor does it say it is, an infallible document.
On the contrary, it is a living document subject to amendment,
127
revision and interpretation. Hence, the dirty job of safeguarding the
rights of minorities falls upon the courts! That would be a
courtocracy!

And what has the Court gotten us!? What EVER has the Court
given us!?:

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with


manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring


Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government,

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and
altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested


with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured


to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages
whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all
ages, sexes and conditions.

But if we replace the Bill of Rights with the Ten Commandments of


Moses, we would have the tyranny of the Law! So let‘s add the
gospel, what then? Wouldn‘t we still need an interpreter? Some
‗liberal‘ theologians say that Paul was gay because he was
unmarried – not to mention thigh-swearing, male-kissing, nude-
fishing, bed-sharing and a whole host of other first century scenes
that the morally bereft can willfully misconstrue. When David tells
Jonathon, ―thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of
women‖ (2 Sam 1:26), we understand the difference between
altruistic love and sexual desire, but this is not evident to the people
who watch Will and Grace but have neither!
128

This dilemma is further exasperated the fact that, next to Christ, all
people were at one time faithless – which is why we need laws in the
first place, remember? And because the letter of the law can be
misinterpreted (intentionally or otherwise), the Supreme Interpreter
of that infallible constitution must himself be infallible (a vicarious
criste!) That would be a papacy! (And whatever you may think of
Roman Catholicism, it is after all the longest continuously-running
institution in human history!)

So now we stand at a crossroads! Are we going to accept Reality or


Relativity?: Universal Truth, or Private Interpretation? The Glory of
God LORD Shekhinah will not be overruled by this despotic
Supreme Court!:

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in


the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in


General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and
Independent States.

But I‘ve got a better idea! Let‘s base our laws on science and
psychology! Now, we‟s in the Park Avenue office suite of my main
man Dr. Feelgood! – and if it FEEL good, it BE good, you dig?

Dr. Feelgood gots to have a clock mounted behind yo‟ chair so he


can check the time without you seeing. Hey man, it‟s just a jobby-
job!
129
Dr. Feelgood gots his medical degree certificate mounted on his
wall. Oooh – he‟s so smart! I‟ll bet he can tell me about my Oedipal
rage, anal fixation, collective conscience, repression and denial,
he‟s got me all figured out!

Dr. Feelgood thinks that one-in-ten people are gay. Hey, be honest
– aren‟t we all a little gay? It‟s a sliding scale – a spectrum!

Or better yet, while the good doctor practices the smile they taught
him in grad school (with the teeth they bought him in grade
school!), let‘s have a ‗look-see‘ at what psychiatry really is!:

Once upon a time (the Victorian era to be exact), homosexuality


was diagnosed as narcissism (so-named for the Greek God
Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection). However,
Sigmund Freud (also known as „Sickman‟s Fraud‟!) overthrew the
Victorian model of psychology as a true investigation of the human
mind and replaced it with the pseudoscientific discipline of
psychoanalysis which, from its inception was never designed,
promoted or intended to be any kind of cosmological understanding
of human consciousness, but was instead marketed solely as a
therapeutic technique premised on returning the individual to a
semblance of social function. It was, after all, a treatment; not a cure
(and part and parcel of that ―treatment‖ was the conscious abuse of
mental patients through the APA approved methods of deception,
mind-bending hypnosis, the use of placebos, threats, involuntary
detention, electric shock, psychosurgery, harmful medications – not
to mention the unapproved techniques that the APA turns a blind
eye to!) Meanwhile, the most impressionable of our society are
being victimized bimonthly (except on holidays) by sheisty shrinks
that would employ every manipulative technique of suggestion in
order to light fires of the heart only to put them out and call it
progress! In my DSM book, that would called „pyromania‟!
130
Psychology (which is heavily influenced by psychoanalytic
technique) is a mandatory core subject taught at all colleges and
universities in the United States. Everyone (me included!) who has
any kind of liberal arts degree in any field is acquainted with its core
tenets and what‘s more, anyone who has a K-12 teaching degree
must also have a passing grade in Psychology or they don‘t
graduate. Many school districts require additional accreditation and
training in Psychology – never mind the fact that psychology is not
a true science nor claims to be. Nope, we‘re just gonna‘ send
legions of schoolteachers into overcrowded classrooms with oral-
fixations on their penis-envy.

Now, I used to teach elementary school and it‘s real freaking simple
– if the kid tries to put a square peg in a round hole, keep „em back
a year! But now we‘re giving marriage certificates and adoption
rights to people who wouldn‘t even make it out of goddamn
kindergarten!

But the entire Universe is heterosexual from plankton to people!


When did we stop helping these people return to the natural state?
Perhaps it was when psychiatry decided to treat the symptom
instead of the cause! And are the symptoms? The extreme sadness
and profound anxiety of having lived in a Universe that frustrates
them and a culture that rejects them? We could, of course, empower
them to change their rebellious thought patterns through intense
psychotherapy. That would be treating the cause. But instead, we try
to change the culture so that homosexuality becomes socially
acceptable. That would be treating the symptom! Treating the
symptom doesn‘t work because even if the culture permits
homosexuality, the very fabric of the Universe continually rejects it,
from protozoa to people!

So let‘s go on a gay scavenger hunt for every ‗gay‘ monkey and


egg-incubating male penguin in order to recreate a gay Universe!
But while we may observe two male monkeys playing with (and
131
perhaps grooming) each other, we have yet to see a male monkey
climax sexually in the ass of another monkey – I guess they‟re too
evolved! You can call Pastor Rick Warren a homophobe if you like,
but he‘s got a chimp for a publicist! You can stare down the Holy
Father (and every other major belief system!), but you can‘t stare
down the fish in the sea – they‟ve got no eyelids! Neither can you
play a game of chicken with an actual chicken! The fabric of the
Universe protests vehemently against homosexuality no matter how
much society condones it! Not even the LORD God herself is
capable of undoing the things which are absolutely necessary to
facilitate life! But if you rebel against Lord of the Flies, then it is
nature (and not God) who is the dispenser of natural recompense!:

(2 Pet 2:11-12) Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might,
bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12But these, as
natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the
things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own
corruption;

Remarkably, the Torah seems to agree on a variety of levels with


both nature and society (which is why I subscribe to it), but even in
the absence of any book, creed or dogma, we have it by the sheer
authority of natural revelation that homosexuality is contrary to life,
joy, health and well-being. It is a form of suffering and telling
people that they are right to engage in it does them no service.
Sometimes, love means telling people no!

But I‘ve got a better idea! Instead of inspiring people to break free
from the motions of sin, why don‘t we tell them that brain chemistry
is dictating their thoughts! That is what the homo-fascists want us to
believe – and herein lies the problem: You can‟t have „gay
liberation‟ premised on a denial of free will? What if my brain
chemistry tells me to bust your nuts? Where‟s my parade? If
chemicals control people, then Christians are under the God
chemical, in which case we will have chemical warfare in a
universe devoid of free will… I wonder who will prevail in that
132
contest? But if you are indeed under the tyrannical control of your
physiology, then why would you want gay marriage at all? Does not
the same desire which cries out for social justice transcend the very
flesh that you blame for your sexual proclivities?

Marriage is not a human right; it is a human choice and is so by


definition! You can sing “blame it on the brain” all you want, but
you would have to lip-sync it because you‟re not your brain, are
you? You are a spirit; you have a soul! You transcend your brain
chemistry! You transcend death and hell!

Or… you could just get a little crazy with my number one „sexy ho‟
with the Lexapro, sista‘ psychiatry. Depressed? She‘s got the dope
to make you hope! – and even though she may have graduated from
FU (magna „cum loudly‟), let‘s not forget about her sweet sexy
sibling psychology who looks just like her ‗cept she‘s got a PhD
(also known as a Pretty Hard Dick – opps!) Now try not to forget
about them hormone treatments, She-Ra: Princess of Power! Or
better yet, why don‟t you git‟ comf‟terble on my little plush couch?
„Cause it‟s time for another jive-talkin‟ session with – you got it! –
Dr. Feelgood: Remember me? I‟m the man of the hour – two if you
can afford it! – and a brutha‟ like no utha‟ who‟s a bad mutha-
[shut-yo‟-mouth!]:

Dr. Feelgood has no absolute definition for what exactly constitutes


mental illness. It‟s all good! Hey, everybody‟s a little crazy – right?

Dr. Feelgood is concerned with getting your butt back to work, not
with healing your mind. I‟m okay – you‟re okay! Time‟s up, see you
next week!

Dr. Feelgood doesn‘t want hear your problems. Instead, he runs


down a checklist of neuroses in order to figure out which drug to
prescribe. If you go off-script, he will use mind games to get you
back on it. Hey, I‟m your best friend! But I can‟t help you if you
133
don‟t answer these questions! Don‟t you wanna‟ get better? You‟re
gonna‟ have to trust someone sometime!

Dr. Feelgood receives kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies


when they prescribe that company‘s medication. What‘s more, these
same companies use cunning marketing and televised ad campaigns
in order to convince people that they are crazy just so they can cure
them. Feeling not-yourself lately? Life‟s got you down? Can‟t seem
to find your stride? Didn‟t know you had one? Maybe I can do it for
ya‟ – and my little pink pills! (psst! Pfizer! Hey – thanks for the
kickback, brutha‟! – and thanks for not marketing any drugs to cure
hypochondria and Munchausen‟s syndrome!

Dr. Feelgood gets ‗em young! School psychologists identify


problem kids (usually minorities!) and slate them for Shitalin™
instead of dealing with the underlying causes of the child‘s
misbehavior. Git yo‟ brat kid out‟ my class and don‟t let „em back in
„til they‟s all mellowed out, sucka‟!

Dr. Feelgood prescribes head-meds that have powerful side-effects


like: weight-gain, sexual dysfunction, loss of appetite, blurred vision
– hey, I‟m not legally obligated to tell you that you may become
addicted! Thoughts of suicide? Opps!

Dr. Feelgood believes that all insanity is traced back to the terror of
death. But instead of repenting to the God of life, he‘s going to try
to get you to accept your death as a passage to ultimate self-
fulfillment. But this ‗death-acceptance‘ is as fallacious as it is
feckless; and those who attempt it will inevitably be crushed by the
weight of its absurdity:

(Is 28:18-20) And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and
your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge
shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 19From the time
that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass
over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand
134
the report. 20For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on
it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

So do you still want to talk to the good doctor? „Cause if you do,
then Dr. Feelgood‟s got the prescription for your conniption
already filled, sugar-pill! But as for me and my house, I shall exit
the ward I can‘t afford and worship the LORD – Amen? So the next
time Dr. Feelgood comes „round trying to pilfer you with a pill for
you, tell him that you just had a breakthrough (and if he asks what
happened, tell him it‟s yo‟ mutha‟s fault, sucka‟!

Petrus Romanus
I am the ghost of Christmas future. The Blessed Virgin sent me to
preach the truth in an era of mass-media, mass-culture, and mass-
destruction. We are entering an age of mass-communication and
mass-transit. Everywhere we turn, we see the dawning of the
information-technology revolution. The Catholic Church must adapt
to its new environment or the devil will catch it off guard.

We cannot rely on the time-honored techniques of imprisonment,


censorship, inquisition and holy war to suppress heresies and
blasphemies; sorceries and lies, in an era when every foolish
thought and careless deed has the potential to go viral at the click of
a mouse. That is why the God who once was Mary has sent me, the
ghost of Christmas future, to ensure that what might have been isn‟t
(and what should be is).

There are two ways this world can end: It can end with a bang or
with a whimper. I am here because the Blessed Virgin desires the
latter. We want the transition from the current age to the Heavenly
Kingdom to be as smooth and uneventful as possible given the
horror of original sin. I am going to terrify the world now in order
135
to spare the world the greater terror of what might have been. But
we must get back to basics. We must ask the question Pontius Pilate
asked Christ at his interrogation: What is truth?

I will answer; I will reveal; I will show; I will tell. However, there is
one thing that I cannot do; nor can God in heaven do: I cannot
make you accept the truth. All I can be to you is a voice crying out
in a Roman wilderness.

Insane in the Membrane


Not just the Blacks, but all segments of society benefit from
minority rights. But if the tyranny of the majority can only be
buffeted by the legal system, and if the legal system is premised on
psychiatric methodology, then you might as well get Houston on the
line because we have a problem! Law is not a technique; it is a
belief system premised on some notion of ultimate reality and
higher truth. Otherwise, you will have lawlessness (which is bad for
minorities as well as the majority). But the angelic soldiers of the
continental army would rather that we pursue happiness and the
cause of liberty, which both God promised and their hallowed blood
procured.

We were slaves to King George and King Cotton; will we now shirk
our duty to our fathers and shrink from history, permitting ourselves
to once again become ensnared by the yoke of science and the noose
of psychiatry?

How can we fight Islamo-fascists abroad when we‘ve got homo-


fascists at home? How can we talk about „freedom on the march‘
when we‘ve got nihilism on the prowl? But the homo-terrorists have
136
hijacked the definition of liberty and flown it into the twin towers of
nihilism and death!

And what is the difference between freedom and nihilism? Choice!

Freedom makes a choice; Nihilism denies choice. To the extent that


both oppose authority, both are libertine to some extent, but the
similarity ends whereas freedom embraces a higher authority whilst
nihilism abdicates the very notion of authority, including its own!

We don‘t have to reexamine the Book of Judges to see that where


sodomy pervades, enemies invade (1 Kng 14:24-25)! Our enemies
know who they are! They‘re not questioning themselves! They‘ve
got no fear in their hearts and no doubt in their minds! But wherever
a house is divided, it cannot possibly stand against its foes:

I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries


ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp
after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came
running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there
and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were
in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept
like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what
I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I
never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was
shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I
thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that.
Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they
were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not
monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with
their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with
love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten
divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly.
(Colonel Kurtz, Apocalypse Now)

We can‘t win this last great global conflict without any sense of
who we are and where we‘re headed! We‘ve gone from ―loose lips
137
sink ships‖ to ―don‘t ask don‘t tell‖ when instead, we should be
utilizing the gospel message to drive a wedge in their culture!

Shake up the bushes, and the snakes will crawl out! But instead, we
are thrusting ourselves into the bushes blindfolded by political
correctness – and we will continue to stagnate there until we settle
our moral debate!

The New Ten Commandments


(from the APA Ethics Code 2002)

I. The APA Ethics Code is not authoritative:

The Ethics Code is not intended to be a basis of civil liability. Whether a


psychologist has violated the Ethics Code standards does not by itself
determine whether the psychologist is legally liable in a court action, whether
a contract is enforceable, or whether other legal consequences occur.

II. The APA Ethics Code is based on prevailing attitudes


and opinions, not facts, logic or reason (note how the
term reasonable is defined):

The modifiers used in some of the standards of this Ethics Code (e.g.,
reasonably, appropriate, potentially) are included in the standards when they
would guard against a set of rigid rules that might be quickly outdated. As
used in this Ethics Code, the term reasonable means the prevailing
professional judgment of psychologists engaged in similar activities in similar
circumstances, given the knowledge the psychologist had or should have had
at the time.
138
III. Wheresoever there is conflict between civic laws and
APA standards, thou art permitted (but not obligated) to
obey civic laws:

If this Ethics Code establishes a higher standard of conduct than is required by


law, psychologists must meet the higher ethical standard. If psychologists'
ethical responsibilities conflict with law, regulations, or other governing legal
authority, psychologists make known their commitment to this Ethics Code
and take steps to resolve the conflict in a responsible manner. If the conflict is
unresolvable via such means, psychologists may adhere to the requirements of
the law, regulations, or other governing authority in keeping with basic
principles of human rights.

IV. Go and make disciples of the nations:

Psychologists are committed to increasing scientific and professional


knowledge of behavior and people‘s understanding of themselves and others
and to the use of such knowledge to improve the condition of individuals,
organizations, and society.

V. Thou shalt serve the APA in diverse ministrations and


shalt be my witnesses in the court:

They strive to help the public in developing informed judgments and choices
concerning human behavior. In doing so, they perform many roles, such as
researcher, educator, diagnostician, therapist, supervisor, consultant,
administrator, social interventionist, and expert witness.

VI. Let‘s not let principles get in the way of ethics!:

General Principles, as opposed to Ethical Standards, are aspirational in nature.


Their intent is to guide and inspire psychologists toward the very highest
ethical ideals of the profession. General Principles, in contrast to Ethical
Standards, do not represent obligations and should not form the basis for
imposing sanctions.
139
VII. Thou shalt serve the APA above any other organization
or church:

If the demands of an organization with which psychologists are affiliated or


for whom they are working conflict with this Ethics Code, psychologists
clarify the nature of the conflict, make known their commitment to the Ethics
Code, and to the extent feasible, resolve the conflict in a way that permits
adherence to the Ethics Code.

VIII. Thou shalt deceive thy patients:

In situations in which deception may be ethically justifiable to maximize


benefits and minimize harm, psychologists have a serious obligation to
consider the need for, the possible consequences of, and their responsibility to
correct any resulting mistrust or other harmful effects that arise from the use
of such techniques.

IX. Thou shalt make life-altering decisions on behalf of


persons or communities who lack the ability to make
autonomous decisions.

Psychologists are aware that special safeguards may be necessary to protect


the rights and welfare of persons or communities whose vulnerabilities impair
autonomous decision making.

X. Thou shalt not have any distinction among races, sexes,


ages or conditions:

Psychologists are aware of and respect cultural, individual, and role


differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race,
ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability,
language, and socioeconomic status and consider these factors when working
with members of such groups. Psychologists try to eliminate the effect on their
work of biases based on those factors, and they do not knowingly participate
in or condone activities of others based upon such prejudices.

There once was a girl from Campeche
Who loved to drink cafe con leche;

Bad Chemistry
Love is not the opposite of fear, it is its opposition:

(1 John 4:18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

A phobia is marked by an irrational aversion to something; A


compulsion is marked by an irrational attachment to something;
Hence, the opposite of fear is addiction; and just as a fear can
produce a physiological reaction, so too can an addiction produce
chemical reactions in the brain. And just as you wouldn‘t give a
stage performer a butterfly net for the ‗butterflies in his stomach,‘
neither should you give addicts chemical inhibiters for their psychic
secretions. The absolute worst thing you could do to a suffering
addict is to convince them they are not in ultimate control of their
thoughts and behaviors (in order so that you can ‗cure them‘ of it!):

Since the pharmaceuticals don't make any money and they control the
doctors. If the doctors don't make any money then all hell breaks loose. In
communities like LA and New York they are using a lot of the youth for
a test sight. (Afrika Bambaataa)
141
Surely, you are aware of Pavlov‘s theory of conditioned response?
Feed a dog while ringing a bell and in a few days, the dogs will
salivate at the mere ringing of the bell? But if Pavlov‘s conclusions
were correct, then it would be the bell (and not the saliva) that
inspires the response. So then why are we treating the saliva and
ignoring the bell? Why are we inhibiting brain chemistry instead of
empowering patients to resist temptation?

Two words: job security!

There is no such thing as an illegal person or an illegal substance,


but the devil delegitimizes righteous herbs as a means of oppressing
the ethnic minorities who are most likely to use them. But if you put
a dog in a pen, it still salivates; meanwhile, members of the
‗legitimate‘ race are absolved of their addictions through psychiatric
reclassifications of what constitutes a so-called addiction. And what
happens to these ethnic minorities in the pen? Are they afforded the
latest psychotic medications in order to alleviate the symptoms of
their disease?; or does the prison warden turn a blind eye to inmate
drug-abuse?:

POP QUIZ: Why would a prison warden tacitly permit


his inmates to abuse drugs?

a) A prison full of withdrawal sufferers is more than he


can handle.
b) A drug-addicted prison population is easier to control
(especially since the threat of isolation means the
cutting off of the inmate‟s drug supply!)
c) The rate of recidivism is so high among drug-users, that
the phony war on the same drugs that the U.S.
government created guarantees his job security.
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE

Bonus Question: How is it that we give schools an A-thru-F grade
under “No-Child-Left-Behind,” but we don‟t rate prisons based on
how well they rehabilitate inmates?:
I am a prisoner incarcerated in the Federal Penitentiary in Beaumont,
Texas. I have existed for over 14 years within this microcosm of
madness, and as I write I look at the tall walls and the gun towers
positioned for clear shots to take me and other prisoners out of this
existence.
If the world can hear my voice, please forgive me for the iniquities that
led me to this living nightmare. I have personally known men who were
murdered, left to suffer and die from treatable illnesses that prison
authorities refused to treat because to them, prisoners are not even
human.
American and world citizens need to be aware that America's prison
system monitors itself, and recognize that we have a crisis because there
is no accountability for abuse. There is a need for reform of the punitive
prison policies which breed lawlessness.
(Donnell Joseph, # 01534-122 US Penitentiary Canaan)

Every Christian is a recovering addict, because the motions of sin


are in us; but if a man repents and society continues to punish him,
how much more difficult it is for him to embrace the motions of
grace and liberty! It is the mandate of the Blessed Virgin Mary that
all Christian inmates be released from detention (contingent upon a
„faith-assessment‟ by a member of the clergy) and that the death
penalty be abolished!

Chemical Reactions
There are no evil emotions. Jesus was joyful at the return of the
seventy disciples (Luke 10:21); he was livid at King Herod‘s death
threats (Luke 13:31-32), he sweat droplets of blood in Gethsemane
(Luke 22:44). Emotions are good and ought not be suppressed; but
143
if you walk into a church and everybody‘s ear-to-ear smiles, you
may be in a cult.

Fear is not an emotion; it is the inversion of all emotion. With fear,


righteous joy becomes pride; righteous pathos becomes depression;
righteous rage becomes wrath. Yet we can be angry, sad or cheery
in love – and should!

It is impossible to be moodless. Mood provides a necessary spiritual


aperture through which reality is perceived. Without mood, you
would not be able to look up a quote on thinkexist.com because you
would neither think nor exist!

Just as hunger releases saliva in Pavlov‘s dogs; emotions release


brain chemicals in us. These chemicals impact physiology and
childhood development. Happy children grow up with a certain
look; passionate children grow into a certain shape; firebrands like
myself have a unique physical appearance. When your mother told
you not to frown because your face would stick that way, she was
absolutely right! Homosexual children also have a distinct physical
appearance precisely for this reason, while adults who ‗become‘
homosexuals post-puberty lack the appearance.

It is not the saliva making the dog hungry, but rather it is the hunger
that produces the saliva. Likewise, it is not the chemical imbalance
that produces the behavior; but men, choosing a certain direction
(perhaps from infancy!) induce these biological and metabolic
changes which result in an entirely different physical appearance
than that which they otherwise would have had were it not for their
precursory choice:

(Ps 51:5,7) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother
conceive me. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and
I shall be whiter than snow.
144
Walk into any church, and you can tell at a glance who converted
before puberty and who converted after. Now walk into any gay
nightclub, and see if you can tell who is gay from childhood and
who just walked in to use the phone because their car just broke
down outside!

Lesbians also have a certain ‗butch‘ appearance commensurate with


a lifetime of sin, but Christian women have a glow and a synergy
that exude more grace than a thousand NIVs:

(Ro 1:26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

No one disputes that certain hormonal imbalances can be linked to


emotions and behaviors, but where modern psychiatry errs is in its
insistence that biochemistry is the cause (and not the consequent) of
these same emotions and behaviors!:

POP QUIZ: Why would psychiatrists blame hunger on


saliva?

A. Because blaming ones actions on chemical imbalances


absolves (or perhaps dissolves!) the patient of any sense
of guilt or shame associated with the behavior.

B. If chemical secretions produce thoughts and desires, the


only treatment for insanity would be pharmaceutic (and
psychiatric research is bankrolled by drug companies).

C. All psychiatrists are themselves silent sufferers of their


own repressed need to dominate others, and convincing
their patients that they are at the whim of biochemicals
feeds into that deepseated megalomania

D. You guessed it! – ALL OF THE ABOVE


145

We are practicing reverse psychiatry!! It is no wonder that our


children have been riddled with Ritalin! Psychiatry, like any other
money-making enterprise, is in the business of selling people things
they don‘t need, don‘t want, and didn‘t ask for! – and the
propagation of the Paradigm of Helplessness has only served to
further aggrandize the Psychological-Industrial Complex!

But then again, maybe you are just the product of chemical brain
reactions? Maybe you‘re not ultimately responsible and accountable
for who you are and what you think about? Maybe no one is? – and
so all of our addictions, compulsions and obsessions are nothing
more than evolutionary buy-products?:

It is the reward pathway that governs our instinctual drives, and when
this pathway malfunctions, any number of instinctual drives may also
malfunction. We now know that this malfunctioning process has been
associated not only with drug addiction, but also food addiction, sex
addiction, and a number of other compulsive disorders including
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Individuals who are predisposed
to becoming addicted have been shown to have a variant gene that causes
this reward cascade to malfunction
While it would be absurd to assert that other diseases of the brain such
as schizophrenia or depression are due to weak will or moral character, it
is still the prevailing opinion of many, including healthcare professionals,
that drug addiction is about improper choices rather than improper
brain function. Current scientific evidence has revealed that chemical
addiction is a process that is caused by a malfunctioning cascade of
neurotransmitters which is further exacerbated by drug use.

Meeting: Therapeutic Updates)

Chemical Solution
Giving an addict psychoactive drugs is like giving a pyromaniac a
fire extinguisher! Giving an addict psychoactive drugs is like giving
a kleptomaniac an expense account! Giving an addict psychoactive
drugs is like giving a nymphomaniac the keys to my apartment!
Addicted to nicotine? Here, have a nicorette! Psychiatry has
devolved from treating the root causes of mental illness to managing
its symptoms! But you cannot blame the illness on the symptoms –
that would be diagnosis murder!

And by the way, kudos to TomKat and Vinnie Barbarino for their
gutsy career-threatening stance against psychoactive medication;
and kudos to the Church of Scientology for their highly successful
(and much maligned) drug treatment program. And yet the
Hollywood drug culture (that claimed the life of Anna Nicole) is not
only a threat to the entertainment industry, but also to national
security! A culture premised on the abdication of liberty to the
tyranny of the flesh cannot hope to prevail in the face of looming
threats! We know that the world will test our metal and we know
that weakness invites it! But while Putin and Ahmadinejad have
absolutely no doubt in their minds and no fear in their hearts, when I
looked into Satan‘s eyes, all I can see is an A, a P and another A:
Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation
ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to
exclusive attraction to the same sex. Many think that nature and nurture
both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of
choice about their sexual orientation.
(APA 2008 – Answers to your questions: For a better understanding of
sexual orientation and homosexuality)

The shot heard ‗round the world had nothing to do with the tenuous
discharge of a forgotten musket ball; it was about Freedom, Liberty,
and Self-determination! But now, the traitors to Democracy have
147
subverted free will for a Chemical Final Solution! It is an existential
threat to Democracy that we permit psychiatrists to vote and give
testimony in courts! It is the height of hypocrisy that we allow
slychiatry to inform are laws and subvert the popular will! Our last
civil war was between the blue and the grey, will the next one be
between the blue and the red? And yet the Russian seer Igor
Panarin has forewarned of the dissolution of the United States
sometime before the next election cycle! When chemicals dissolve,
so goes the nation!; but terrorists (like all bullies) only pick on the
weak!

And as for the „sexual orientation continuum,‟ it is true that people


can behave more gayly than others, but slychiatrists conflate
behavior with character. There is no continuum between gay and
straight because there is no continuum between man and woman;
truth and lie; right and wrong; life and death! But there is a
continuum between dumb and dumber!

And what about the true faggots that cry, Why would I choose this!
There‘s no doubt in my mind that they were born that way! The
record is clear that both men and boys were pressed against Lot‘s
door in Sodom (Gen 19:4-5), but so what! We were all born sinning
in one way or another which is why we all need to get born again!
But how can we be born again if we refuse to confess our sins to a
righteous God whose wrath is just and whose mercy is infinite!

And how can we criticize China for its human rights abuses when
we‟ve got a „One America Policy‟ right here! We read in the history
books about bleeding Kansas and we‟ve got Bleeding California
right here – right now! The slave states and the free states are
becoming the gay states and the straight states! What will we do?!
What will we do?!
148
This country‟s going to be awash with mostly red-state Iraqi war
veterans in the next few months; and the insurgency tactics they‟ve
acquired by the never-say-live Muslims will only be outmatched by
the level of disillusion they‟ll feel when they find out what‟s been
happening to this country in their absence!:

In its Resolution on Sexual Orientation and Marriage, the Association


resolved, based on empirical research concerning sexual orientation and
marriage, ―That the APA believes that it is unfair and discriminatory to
deny same-sex couples legal access to civil marriage and to all its
attendant benefits, rights, and privileges.‖ And in its Resolution on Sexual
Orientation, Parents, and Children, the Association recognized that
―There is no scientific evidence that parenting effectiveness is related to
parental sexual orientation: lesbian and gay parents are as likely as
heterosexual parents to provide supportive and healthy environments for
their children.‖ In both Resolutions the Association resolved to provide
scientific and educational resources, such as this amicus brief, to inform
public discussion and understanding of these issues.
(APA „amicus‟ brief cited by the California Supreme Court in their
2008 strike-down of the state‟s gay marriage ban)

The APA pharmaceutical establishment devil-worshipping cult of


non-determination has infected our courts, our public schools and
our media outlets! We don‘t have time for a ‗time-out‘! But just as it
was in the days of Noah, so shall it be with this generation if we
don‘t get our house in order pronto!

Now I‘m not Panarin. I don‘t forecast the dissolution of the United
States; but instead, I forecast a New Resolution: that the U. S.
Constitution be amended to bring the Supreme Court under the
auspices of the Roman Church and that its Pope be granted authority
to install and depose its judges. I also propose a Personal Freedom
Amendment, denying and/or revoking citizenship (and the rights
pertaining) to anyone who confesses that they are not in complete
and utter transcendent control of themselves. It is impossible to
impart human rights to the subhuman; since they cannot control
149
themselves, let them become as slaves to us, and possessions to
dispose of as we will in Jesus‘ Name:

(Ex 21:2-3; 5-6) If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve:
and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3If he came in by
himself, he shall go out by himself: 5And if the servant shall plainly say,
I love my master, I will not go out free: 6Then his master shall bring him
unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post;
and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve
him for ever.

It is imperative that we pass this resolution as amendments (and not


acts) so that it will be more difficult for the coming apostasy to undo
them (for the end surely won‘t come before there is a great ‗falling
away‘ and the Christian remnant at that time will need these legal
recourses to minister more effectively to the gospel as well as for
their own protection!)

I think we understand what we must do now – these are


rough‘n‘tumble times; we‘ve got the weight of the world on our
shoulders and we know that the Promised Land never comes
without a fight. But we‘ve got a righteous wind at our backs and a
God who is not indifferent to America!

We are a God-blest nation imbued with the Christian values of


liberality and nonjudgmentalism. But when Christ taught us to turn
the other cheek, he didn‘t mean for us to look the other way! Not
judging others doesn‘t mean that we ought not rebuke one another
in a love! As the Evangelicals like to say, Hate the sin; not the
sinner!

America no doubt has a destiny – and God is vested in it! But while
I believe in exceptionalism very bit as much as the next Alaskan, we
must also remember that the sovereignty of God explicitly reserves
the right to lift that anointing – just ask Saul! Or better yet, ask the
goddamn chemicals in your brain what they think!
150

Straight people don‟t belong in strait-jackets! And yet at every turn,


we see a wicked generation beguiled and bamboozled by the
murderous propaganda of a slychiatric führer, consigning truth and
justice to the chemically-induced gas chambers! Like any parasite,
they have attached themselves to all facets of our society in order to
gestate and germinate their faggotry and anti-American anti-
Christian freedom-denying manifesto! This is crunch-time! The APA
now stands as the worst threat to our national security and general
welfare of this nation or any other!

In their denial of free will, they have subverted consciousness,


perverted justice, and absconded the will of the people by a
relentless onslaught of (self-admitted) „deception‟ and chemical
warfare, having expressly declared their political aims in their own
published manuscripts! They have magnified themselves above any
god, having disregarded religion, faith, choice, human sexuality,
family values, natural law – and have shrouded themselves in the
cloak of Newtonian Mechanistic Science (the God of forces!) to the
end of their own pathological greed!:

(Dan 11:36) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every
god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall
prosper till the indignation be accomplished: 37Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for
he shall magnify himself above all. 38But in his estate shall he honour
the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour
with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

The APA and its collective membership are the beast and the
Antichrist! – the abomination that maketh desolate! They are
traitors to the gospel; traitors to liberty; traitors to humanity; and
traitors the democracy! They are domestic terrorist non-enemy
combatants who have (by their own declaration!) forfeited their
rights as citizens! WE KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH TRAITORS!!!
151
The time has come – and isn‘t it already?! – for the people of this
great nation to rise up against APA-approved homo-despotism!
Otherwise, Amerik.k.k.a will slouch toward an evermore
pronounced estrangement from the world (and by „the world‟ I
mean reality!) and the political polarity of the nations will shift
toward totalitarianism (if only to stave off encroaching American
nihilism!)

We‘re creating a new ‗powder keg‘ wherein radical regimes will


proliferate almost as fast as their nuclear stockpiles. But as the
mushroom-shaped war clouds gather, the Amerik.k.k.an people will
remain bitterly divided, riotous, irresolute, helplessly (and
haplessly) mired in crushing debt and sky-rocketing inflation;
productivity is hampered by the social side-effects of psychoactive
habit-forming prescription medications which impair both thought
and physiological development. Meanwhile, our enemies are
kneeling to Mecca five times a day and manufacturing the
computers we can‘t do without and that their intelligence services
will no doubt later hack into to! – and the sad part is, I‟m not sure
whether this scenario falls under the category of prediction or
postdiction!:

(Ezek 28:6-10) Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set
thine heart as the heart of God; 7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers
upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords
against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of
them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9Wilt thou yet say before him
that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the
hand of him that slayeth thee. 10Thou shalt die the deaths of the
uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the
Lord God.

This is crunch-time! The Universe is waiting to exhale! Will we


now forsake E Pluribus Unum and replace it with E Pluribus
Nihilum?! Will we subvert the Bill of Rights in order to purchase a
152
Bill of Goods?! But mark my words! – the hand of God, the grace of
Christ and the Immaculate Conception of the Our Lady will not
stand idly by and watch as Arlington‘s crosses are removed by the
judicial system they purchased!:

(Gen 49:22) Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;


whose branches run over the wall: 23The archers have sorely grieved
him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24But his bow abode in strength,
and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty
God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) 25Even
by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who
shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that
lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 26The blessings of
thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the
utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph,
and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

Pastor Rick Warren says he loves gays and so do I; and that‘s why
I‘m going to move heaven and earth to rescue those that can be and
prevent those that would have been. But when the adopted children
of gay parents open their eyes for the first time, having sinned from
beforetime (and thus entering the temporal stage in rebellion), I‘ll be
damned if the first thing those tiny impressionable eyes see is my
two dads!

Let no child understand the horrors I‘ve witnessed; let no child read
these words; and if they do, let them scratch their heads in
astonishment – not understanding what it means! Let it be an
allegory for something else!

And as for my gay friends, please know that were it possible, I


would end my life in bloody crucifixion if only to save just one of
you. The tears on my face are as bitter as the waters of Meribah
whenever I think of the horrors and humiliations; psychic sufferings
which I surmise are beyond my knowing – preventable horrors! –
and I don‘t know of any real Christian that doesn‘t concur with this
sentiment; but I do know that with every ounce of strength I can
153
muster, I will sound the alarm and be a devilish beacon of hope so
that the children of my children will not have to read these awful
words!

But God in his goodness has taken it upon himself to endure the
lowest hell in order to spare the world what might have been – and
when Christ said, It is finished, hell went out of business! And we
can expect the devil to undercut his prices as he closes up shop!

New World Disorder


Now that we have identified the problem, what is the solution?
What do we do to become cured of addiction? I don‘t like the term
mental disorder. Order (or lack of it) speaks to behavior which can
be subjective. Thelonious Monk is a genius precisely because he
defied order, and if we make a virtue out of orderliness, we‘ll have
a culture full of orderlies taking orders from a warden. But the
greatness of America is its renegade spirit and fierce individuality.
From Protestant Puritans to trail-blazing pioneers, Americans in
every epoch have always had a pension for invention and an eye
toward the Western sky. But the concept of mental disorder is
contrary to our national character at best and at worst, it is a subtle
racial sleight – a holdover from the days when European society
was very rigid and structured and used that as evidence of a natural
ethnic superiority.

So instead of framing insanity in stuffed-shirt culturally-elitist


notions of order vs. disorder, let‘s speak of insanity in terms of
suffering and alleviation.

Now what constitutes suffering? If a person smokes like a chimney,


drinks like a fish and swears like a sailor, and if he‘s happy living
154
that way, then he‘s not suffering – leave him be! But if a 125-pound
women pukes her peas because she thinks she‘s too fat, it‘s time to
call Houston because we have a problem. Likewise, if an actor
behaves like a horrendous gaywad for the sequel to Milk (maybe
they can call it ‗Milk 2%‘), there‘s no need to question his sanity;
but if a man marries a woman, has kids, and yet secretly harbors
feelings for other men, hose him down – he‘s on fire!

In either instance, it‘s not the behavior that‘s the problem; it‘s the
suffering. That‘s because mental illness is a matter of the heart, not
the body – and it can only be cured in the heart:

(Ps 51:10-12) Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me. 11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me. 12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold
me with thy free spirit.

Now just as a drunk doesn‘t know that they‘re drunk while they‘re
drunk, a sinner doesn‘t know that they‘re a sinner until they confess.
That‘s why confession is necessary for salvation. Another word for
confession is baptism:

(Matt 3:11) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

If a man doesn‘t confess his sins, his own biochemistry will kill
him. It‘s not “children in the eyes of an angry God!” God doesn‘t
kill people; people kill people! This world is our hell and divine
recompense is nothing more than a metaphor for natural
recompense. It is sin that kills, not God‘s wrath! Nobody killed
Judas, he hanged himself in his own bio-fluid (the field of blood)
and so shall it be with all non-repentant!:
155
(Deut 24:16) The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall
be put to death for his own sin.

Now all Christians are schizophrenics; when you‘re born again, you
take on a new persona which may come into conflict with the old
self. That would be MSD; a split personality. Non-Christians don‘t
experience this phenomenon – nor does God. But if all the world is
crazy, then who‘s in our asylums? Nevertheless, in a world where
all are born sinning, it‘s the born-again Jesus-freaks who survive
because they reject their sin-toxins through the cleansing of Jesus‘
blood. It‘s as if the villain of the first Terminator movie becomes
the hero in the sequel, extending his hand to a skeptical Sarah
Connor with the words ―Come with me if you want to live.‖ But
unlike the real Terminator, this sequel‘s better than the original!
Hasta la vista, baby!

Nevertheless, there is a kind of suffering to which non-Christians


are perpetually aloof; they will never understand true guilt, because
they do not confess their sins. Likewise, there is a peace that non-
Christians will never attain to; the love of God and the salvation of
Christ which liberates the soul and resurrects the flesh. Non-
Christians cannot be cured of their sin-disease; they were born
sinning and will die sinning for the sake of the elect. But there is no
physiological difference between Christians and non-Christians. The
human body was formed in perfection and the sin-toxin released at
birth; even if you convert at the age of two, you‘re flesh will still die
– a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump (Gal 5:9), but the power
of the Resurrection has given us new and incorruptible bodies:

(1 Cor 15:43-45) It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown


in weakness; it is raised in power: 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised
a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
156
Non-Christians live in a thoroughly absurd world from which death
is the only escape. But where Christians hope; demons cope, having
their faces turned from the light of the gospel in obedience to the
Circumcision. On earth, these gravitate toward legalistic religions
and mechanistic cosmologies which engender slavery and death;
they are the stiff-necked children of the devil who continually die
for lack of knowledge without God in the world. Nor can they even
bring themselves to say the word G-d or draw a cartoon character of
him, having been estranged from the Universe and cast off from the
commonwealth of Israel.

But in this world, mental disorder is not the disease, it‘s the cure!:

(Matt 16:24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Ain‟t No Half-Steppin‟
12-step programs are fine so long as we recognize that there is but
one step to total mind-body healing: embrace Christ! But the Cult of
Helplessness offers a different solution: convince the Universe that
suffering is normal and death-to-be-embraced, while dispensing the
I‟m-okay-you‟re-okay snake-oil of miseducation, civil litigation,
destigmatization, and guilt mitigation. Gay liberation is neither gay
nor liberating – it‟s like we‟re getting f*cked with two dicks!

Meanwhile, the false deliverance meated out by the purveyors of


perdition only serves to heighten the suffering while at the same
time masking its underlying causes:

POP QUIZ: If a man is drowning, do you...


A) Toss him a pair of goggles.
B) Get him out of the water.
157

Now all mental anguish has one cause; and that cause is fear. If you
have a phobia, it is because you fear something happening; if you
have a compulsion, it is because you fear something not happening.
Fear can be likened to a magnet whose north pole is compulsion
and whose south pole is repulsion. Cure the fear and heal the mind.
But what can cure fear? – faith!:

(2 Tim 1:7) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear has nothing to do with reality. That‘s why it‘s an irrational


fear. If you fear a mouse, it has nothing to do with the mouse; it has
to do with you. You make a choice to fear. A different mouse in a
different place might illicit a different reaction from you, perhaps
even a lesser apprehension or none at all! It‘s up to you. You have
control over your mind and the ability to heal your own mind
through the power of faith:

(Matt 9:22) Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Not only can faith heal mental illness, but because your mind
controls your biochemistry, your faith can also cure your physical
body as well. Faith healings happen all the time, and even medical
science has proven a link between prayer and faster recovery times.
Likewise, you can make yourself physically ill by the power of your
mind. You can even kill yourself by sheer thought:

(Luke 21:25) and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the
sea and the waves roaring; 6Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth:

Another word for fear is sin. But if you don‘t like the ‗religious‘
term, then let‘s just call it fear.
158
But what is fear? Fear is a mystery. Because the Blessed Virgin
doesn‘t fear, she has no idea what fear is; but she, in Christ, does
know all too well what fear does:

(Matt 27:46) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

(Rev 17:5) MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF


HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Because God has no clue as to what fear is, it is up to us to educate


her on this matter. So let‘s give it the old college try:

- Fear is a lie.

- Fear is whatever contradicts reality.

- Fear is true schizophrenia; an inner conflict with the self.

- Fear is like playing hide-and-seek with yourself!

- Fear is like hiring a rent-a-cop for an empty warehouse!

- Fear is like building a bridge to nowhere and then jumping off it!

- Fear is like doubting the Skittles rainbow you‘re sitting on!

- Fear is like dumping your hot dominatrix girlfriend because you didn‘t
want to be tied down!

- Fear is like killing your ex-wife and then writing ‗If I did it‘!

- Fear is like killing your own brother and then asking ‗Am I my brother‘s
keeper?‘

You can‘t reason with fear any more than you can negotiate with a
terrorist! There is no method to madness and no 12-step panacea!
You have heard it said that all things are possible to him who
believes; but so too are all things possible to him who doubts!
159
Now the symptoms of fear can include shaking, sweating,
headaches, nausea, etc. But anxiety, depression and thoughts of
suicide are not symptoms! – they are the causes! Only you can make
yourself anxious, and only you can cure it through faith in the cross!
Christianity is not a religion; and love is not a behavior – but true
faith loves God more than life itself; like the real Peter who endured
viscous martyrdom for the sake of the gospel. Let us never forget
that when Jesus said ―Take up thy cross and follow me,‖ he was
speaking to a first century audience!:

(Matt 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

And yet we each have our own cross to bear, but true love has a fire
– a zeal! True love questions oneself without doubting oneself. True
love takes nothing for granted unless it‘s granted for nothing! But it
is the intention and not the act that matters – it‘s not about giving to
charity, it‘s about giving with charity!:

(1 Cor 13:3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing.

It is impossible to love your neighbor apart from monotheism.


Without a Godfather, love is insignificant, lacking justification. You
would have to choose which of the gods to follow, and if you picked
the wrong god, you might find yourself up Styx creek! But the God
of gods, who‘s justice engenders justification and who‘s spirit
tempers it with mercy, has guaranteed both the legitimacy and
efficacy of love by the power of Christ‘s name. But love apart from
grace through the faith in the Resurrection does not exist – cannot!;
it is impossible to worship an un-resurrected Universe! Even Christ
himself was conceived Immaculate, owing his very ministry to his
own blood!:
160
(Matt 3:14) But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me? 15And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Then he suffered him. 16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon
him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.

Fear and addiction know no bounds. There is nothing in the


universe you can‘t fear and nothing in the universe you can‘t
become addicted to. But love that is perfect casteth out both fear and
addiction.

I gave myself to Christ on 1 June 2001 and I still struggle with sin
everyday. But though I am less atrocious now than I was then (if
you can imagine!), I am no more well. Maybe I‘ve got the perfect
combination of a clean heart and a dirty mind!:

(1 Cor 1:26-9) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise
men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

But nevertheless, I have managed to glean some wisdom in my


struggle to reform myself (as well as my quest for truth). This
doctrine is not for the squeamish, but rather it is for people who
aren‘t afraid to ask questions and hold scripture up to the light! If
there‘s anything wrong with scripture, I‘ll be the first to deny it; but
so far (and after almost three readings), I have yet to find anything
which contradicts truth (and I base my faith entirely on reason and
logic, rebuking the Blessed Virgin herself at times). The Protestants
like to say sola fide, but in Trenchtown, we say ‗Ready fi‟dead!‟
161
But knowledge is not a cure. Though I have all knowledge and
knoweth all mysteries (and even where the restrooms are in heaven),
and can speak with the tongues of angels while chewing gum and
whistling Dixie, and can solve a Rubik‘s cube while locating your
G-spot, it profits me nothing if I don‘t love God – and I know that I
don‘t love God whenever I fear, which is a constant battle – but to a
psychiatrist, I come across as stark-raving mad!:

(Rom 7:15) For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I
consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it,
but sin that dwelleth in me.

Now the charismatic encouragement types (like Meyer and Osteen)


often are berated by conservatives for their ‗practical‘ self-help
repartee (as if there were anything wrong with that!) But at the risk
of ‗watering down the gospel,‘ I submit my own 12 step program
for total mind-body healing:

STEP 1: Admit it – you did it. Drugs, sex and alcohol have
nothing to do with your addiction. It‘s about you! It‘s ALWAYS
about you! Drop the chalupa!

STEP 2: Stupid is as stupid does. If a vampire stops sucking


blood, he ain‘t a vampire no more! Likewise, you are what you do,
not what you did:

(Matt 7:18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

So if you‟re not sodomizing someone right this moment, you‟re not a


fruit!

STEP 3: Get over it. Slychiatrists try to allay guilt through the
enabling of sin. In their minds, guilt is symptomatic of a conflict
between the pleasure principle and the superego. But in reality, guilt
162
is a form of pleasure – albeit a sinful one. A righteous man feels no
guilt, but confesses his sins to a forgiving God who takes away sin
and guilt by the power of his blood. This is true liberation – but
slychiatry offers the false redemption of obfuscating guilt by the
denial of free will and personal responsibility. But this a lie! An
ABSOLUTE and unmitigated lie! You are what you are, and if you
can think it, you can be it! It just takes faith!

But the devil-spawn APA beast of the antichrist would subvert your
minds and deny your liberty to the detriment of your mental health,
and to the destruction of your flesh! They have announced their
intentions and have not denied it! They want to kill you from the
inside, convincing you to accept your own death, thereby releasing
the biochemical sin-toxins which will inevitably kill you!:

THE FIVE STAGES OF DEATH

I. Denial
II. Anger
III. Bargaining
IV. Depression
V. Acceptance

Now if you reverse the meanings of the five stages of death, you
wind up with a very interesting corollary – what I like to call, The
Five Stages of Life:

I. Confession
II. Humility
III. Sacrifice
IV. Joy
V. Thanksgiving

Embrace life without guilt! Jesus took all of it away so that there is
no more condemnation. If society ridicules you for confessing
Christ, they are on the wrong side of justice since all have fallen
163
short of the glory of God. But if you continue to wallow in guilt,
you implicate Christ! – it‘s as if you‘re blaming God for saving you;
but you can‘t judge Jesus twice – that would be double jeopardy!:

(2 Cor 7:10-11) For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to


be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11For behold
this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness
it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what
indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal,
yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear
in this matter.

Christianity is not about being good; it‘s about being right. The
Passion of the Christ is not at all good, but it is right; and it is the
righteousness of God that is goodness toward men. But guilt rejects
both goodness and righteousness, even our Lord Christ!:

(Luke 5:8) When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees,
saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

STEP 4: You gotta’ have faith. Because all compulsions, fears and
addictions are a matter of the heart, it must be addressed there; but
slychiatrists believe in chemical causes and chemical cures.

But is it the chemicals that cure the condition, or the confidence of


the patient taking them? And if it‘s the confidence, then couldn‘t we
just dispense with the magic feather altogether?

Jesus saw a lame man lying next to an enchanted pool, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight years:

(John 5:6-9) When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a
long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7The
impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth
down before me. 8Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked:
164

The name of the pool: Bethesda!

STEP 5: Fighting Temptations. So now you‘ve given yourself to


Christ, but the physical sensations associated with the release of sin-
toxins are a constant reminder of your sin. The only way to
ameliorate this maddening sensation of illicit desire is to
consummate it; but if you cave into it, you‘ll be damned! Welcome
to the good fight of faith, private Benjamin!:

(Gal 5:16-17) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil
the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh:

First, understand that this sensation has nothing to do with you, it is


your flesh. If you hear a bell whenever you eat, after you have
sublimated the association of food with bell, you will probably (but
not at all definitely) obey that association. Not a problem! – there
are good habits, and without them, we would never learn anything
because language, art, music, mathematics, and all facets of human
existence require the acquisition, sublimation and continuation of
thought patterns. That‘s called, being human.

There are natural patterns as well – just look inside any conch shell!
The Universe is grammatical wherefore intelligence requires
linguistic communication which itself necessitates pattern and
continuity – precept upon precept; line upon line – it‟s as if we‟re
living in a paternal Universe!

The problem is not that we have habits; it‘s which habits we have!
Good habits are conducive of life and joy; bad habits are conducive
of death and misery. When we sin – and we all have!, we instigate a
pattern in our subliminal consciousness which we subsequently
follow to our own detriment as well as to the detriment of Christ.
When we repent, we find ourselves embroiled in a seemingly
165
endless (and oftentimes disheartening) struggle to break free from
the motions of sin:

(Rom 7:20, 22-24) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it,
but sin that dwelleth in me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the
inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the
law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is
in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?

There‘s no easy solution to this dilemma. You just have to tough it


out. Remember Jesus who withstood his passion without sinning
and contemplate the suffering of the people your sins victimized and
the Blessed Virgin who witnesses the horror of your sin with
perpetual and unflinching omniscience and yet does not sin herself,
nor does she hold your sin against you.

STEP 6: Take your meds. Everyone has their own fight and for
some, the ravages of sin have contaminated their brains to the point
where medication is in order, and if so, please take it. I know the
feeling that just comes and overwhelms you like a wave. I know the
seemingly uncontrollable fits of laughter and the sudden debilitating
crashes of despair. I know what it‘s like to pray for quick death. Let
there be no social stigma attached to anyone being treated for the
biochemical ravages of sin, as long as it is understood that the
crutch of medication is a tourniquet, not a cure; and that it is
ultimately ourselves who are responsible for our decisions, not our
bodies.

In truth, everything we digest has some impact on brain chemistry;


and a healthy diet and exercise regime can assist in the process of
stabilization after a traumatic experience. But some people put
themselves through the health ringer in order to avoid Alzheimer‘s
and outlive Methuselah, while negating the effects of diet and
exercise through an unclean thought life. But if you ask anyone over
166
the age of 100 what‘s the secret to their longevity, they‘ll always tell
you it‘s clean living!

Of course, abusers of drugs have a tougher battle. Not only must


they battle their own biochemical sin-toxins, but they must also
struggle against the toxins of the drugs they‘re struggling to break
free from. Then there are the outside social ramifications of their
addiction, not to mention the heart-crushing relapses. To you, I pray
to the fighting angel Michael (who did battle with Satan) that a
nation will be roused to the cause of vanquishing drug, alcohol and
nicotine addiction, and that you‘re experiences will better equip you
should you have the privilege of taking part in this vital ministry.

STEP 7: Fast and pray. One look at me and you can tell that I‟ve
spent a lot less time fasting and praying and a lot more time praying
fast! But there are other kinds of fasting.

Television can be a drug. There‘s a lot of information coming at you


real fast and if you‘re not the model of mental discipline, there‘s an
opportunity to become beguiled by the devil. I gave up TV after I
converted for about 2 years and what did I miss? Operation Iraqi
Freedom?

On 911, I ate lunch with the choir director of Los Angeles Christian
Presbyterian Church at a Thai restaurant in West LA. It was packed
and I heard later that all LA restaurants did well on that day. Maybe
people want to be with other people in times like these. Maybe
people need ice cream after a surgery. Maybe it was a Passover in
peanut sauce. As we ate, the televisions were tuned to CNN, the
estimated body-count rolling over to ever higher figures (like the
odometer on Satan‘s Saturn). I couldn‘t watch; and yet with the
implosion of those towers came a reassurance – a new hope! As
burning bodies leapt to their deaths, I saw my own sins being taken
away – me and Gary Condit... Sometimes, it‘s good to turn off the
TV for a while – call it station identification.
167

STEP 8: Think deliberately. Because the spirit can travel at the


speed of light, you have the ability to think at the speed of light. The
language of thought is Hebrew, but that raw Hebrew is codified into
English (or some other tongue). I have speculated that before it
reaches the English stage, it passes through precursory stages –
more specifically, Greek and Latin. The Spirit says this is the case,
but I‘m not that attuned to my thoughts at this point to be able to
tell. Nevertheless, this wouldn‘t be the tongue languages of Greek
and Latin, but the raw ‗protolinguistic‘ archetypes.

There are no ‗repressed‘ or ‗hidden‘ thoughts. Because you think in


a different language than you speak (perhaps even more than one
different protolanguage?), and because you think at fantastic
speeds, it may appear as if you are out-of-control. Add to that, the
fact that the Blessed Virgin is constantly and necessarily inspiring
your thoughts, though you have the autonomous prerogative to
shape the direction of that inspiration or reject it altogether. (You
inspire the Blessed Virgin as well whenever you pray - and she
never disobeys them unless it‟s for your ultimate good). You are
who you are (and you know who you are); neither are there any
‗repressed‘ instincts or drives or anything else that evades the
purview of your own conscious awareness. So emancipate yourself
from mental slavery; none but yourself can free your mind!:

(Phil 4:8) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever


things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

STEP 9: Past is not Prologue. Just because you messed up today,


doesn‘t mean you‘ll mess up tomorrow; just because you did well
today, doesn‘t mean you‘ll do well tomorrow. Every second is a
second chance, and if you can learn to live life moment-to-moment,
you‘ll soon discover that there‘s no time like the present. You are
168
not the person you were, and you won‘t become the person you fear
becoming. There just isn‘t enough time in the here-and-now to
worry about the there-and-when, so take life as it comes and carpe
diem!

STEP 10: Rejoice in Failure. This may sound counterintuitive, but


even your lapses have a purpose in the grand scheme of things. If
we never sinned, we would never have been ejected from Eden, and
we do not rejoice for that original failure; but were God to rapture
up every Christian the moment that they‘re born again, the ‗left-
behind‘ types would inhabit a much more severe reality; therefore,
God left us behind temporarily in order to minister to the world of
sin that our initial rebellion instigated.

We‘re on the front lines of the heavenly rebellion; and Judas is our
enemy for the sake of the gospel – but without him, there is no
gospel! He is a victim of our original sin inasmuch as Christ:

(Ac 1:16-17) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before
concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. 17For he was
numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

There is only one sin and only one baptism for the remission of sins,
but unless you‘re a maniac Dudley Do-Right, we oftentimes find
ourselves constantly relapsing and being renewed to the faith.
However it is possible to stop sinning for long stretches of time,
even for all eternity! But since eternity never exactly comes, it is
impossible even for the Blessed Virgin to tell whether or not we will
ever attain a level of unrelapsing obedience:

(Matt 20:20-21, 23) Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children
with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that
these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the
left, in thy kingdom. 23And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of
169
my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be
given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Relapses can be disheartening, but not if we can see them as


necessary for the purpose of the gospel; our failings provide
ministry opportunities that we otherwise wouldn‘t have had. Or else
the Blessed Virgin ushers us into Paradise the instant we‘re saved
and denies us the privilege of ministering to our friends, relatives –
even our enemies! I can imagine how much more difficult it is to
relapse in Paradise as the only people there are Christians and
Christians have demonstrated a great capacity to be holy and good
even in this life! Here, we are wheat among tares; there, we are
whole-wheat cereal!

STEP 11: Don’t even go there. When Lot fled Sodom with his
wife and daughters, he was instructed by the angels not to look back
at the destruction. Similarly, we should avoid situations which vex
our minds and tempt our hearts.

If you‘re gay repentant, don‘t go to gay clubs or have relationships


with other gays. If you look gay (or butch-lesbian) by reason of
biochemical contamination of your flesh, don‘t look at yourself in
the mirror until you get to heaven and receive a new body. These are
suggestions, not commands.

If you‘re an alcoholic, try to avoid situations where you might be


tempted to drink; same thing goes for other substance abusers. If
you have a phobia, avoid situations where you might relapse. If
you‘ve got anorexia, don‘t weigh yourself. If you‘re a veteran with
PTSD, don‘t watch war movies or talk about what happened over
there. Tell your family never to ask about it. Let go and let God.

Of course, these are suggestions, not commands. During the course


of your earthly ministry, you may find it advantageous to avail
170
yourself to situations wherein you might find yourself tempted.
Furthermore, it is entirely faithless to assume that you would be
tempted in any given situation; nor is everyone graced with the
same level of spiritual toughness. Nevertheless, wisdom informs us
that men (by nature) are creatures of habit, given to the repetition of
patterns whether they be edifying or deleterious.

The term relapse is somewhat of a misnomer in a Universe where


nothing repeats or can. So don‘t fear relapses; lightening will never
strike in the same place twice and each subsequent sin is entirely
different than the one preceding (though the fear which provoked it
is always the same). But the Blessed Virgin permits you (where ever
possible) to avoid those things which formerly vexed you in
righteousness and without any faithless (and specious) presumption
that you may relapse:

(Ps 1:1-3) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night.

STEP 12: Bless Jesus. Relish the victory! You‘ve made it into
heaven by virtue of your faith in Jesus Christ! Rejoice in the Lord
always and again I say rejoice! – and no 12-step program would be
complete without a certificate of completion:

(1Co 6:9-11) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye
are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Now a friend in need is a friend indeed. And there is no greater


blessing than to grace others with the wisdom gleaned from a
171
lifetime of failure. So by all means, get involved! Take the spotlight
off yourself and shine the light on Jesus!

But don‟t make a devotion out of it! You‘ve got nothing to hide and
less to prove! Nevertheless, some weak-minded Christians go to
church the same way they take out the trash – it‘s just another chore
to them! Maybe they‘re going to chorch! But if you don‘t like your
chorch, then don‘t bother going; there are other ways to make a
contribution (which is your reasonable service!)

Let the Universe be your church! Little league, boy scouts, soup
kitchens, mentoring programs – there‘s a whole panoply of NJOs
(nonjudgmental organizations) where you can get involved and
grace someone else with your gifts and talents. You never know –
the life you touch may be your own!

I‘ve heard others say they don‘t like organized religion, but I have
yet to hear anyone define what that is or suggest an alternative. But
that‘s the intention! It‘s a mean-nothing term that leaves it up to the
hearer to attach their own definition. So if the person your
evangelizing says they don‘t like organized religion, tell ‗em not to
worry, your church doesn‟t have an organ!

Then there are those who see church as an impediment to personal


enjoyment. Nothing could be further from the truth! The whole
point of religion is to embrace life and joy! But some churches,
whose members are insecure about their salvation, employ rules and
regulations (that have nothing to do with God or the Bible) as a
means of validating their own faith to the detriment of the more
liberated Christians who subsequently become disillusioned by their
spooky religiosity. But the righteousness of God is not fettered by
the piety of men (falsely so-called) – and as far as the Blessed
Virgin is concerned, Christianity could do with a lot less hocus-
pocus and a bit more hanky-panky!
172
Nevertheless, it is incumbent on the ‗liberated‘ not to lord liberality
over the weaker Christians. We‘re not all in the same situation with
the Spirit. There are many who will read this doctrine and think I‘m
not a good Christian and become offended by the freedom that is in
Christ. But if I were a member of a less liberated church, I would
suspend my liberality as did Paul who, unlike the other Apostles,
abstained from sexual relations with the women of the congregation
for the benefit of the weak:

(1 Co 9:1, 2-12) Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen


Jesus Christ our Lord? 3Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4Have we not power to eat and to drink? 5Have we not power to lead
about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the
Lord, and Cephas? 11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a
great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 12Nevertheless we have
not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel
of Christ.

I mean, C‟mon! Is it any secret that Peter was kickin‟ it with


Tabitha?:

(Ac 9:40-41) But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her
eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41And he gave her his hand,

A Portrait of the Artist


I would describe my work as conscious.
My style is ghetto fiction, but with a prophetic tone.
I have a hard-edged sensibility and a macabre wit.
I've never been published, but not for lack of trying.
Trying to get noticed.
No one's buying.
There's no market for me. My readership doesn't read.
173

No Black lit. agencies;


Plenty of black publications.
I wonder why?
Racist publishers shun Black talent.
They don't think it'll sell.
Did I say sell? I meant cell.
That's why we have to publish ourcellves.

I haven't a friend in the world


(nor a dime to my name);
All part of the same shameful game of passing the goddamn blame.

But there's one thing I've got.


Do you know what it is?
A purpose; a mission;
A sense of urgency;
A goal; a promise;
A target; a ministry;
I'm primed for battle
(like the muppets, ready to take Manhattan).

Elijah went up in a chariot of fire;


But I can't afford the whole chariot,
So when they take me, it's gonna' be in a riot of fire!

The Brave Knight


In his hour of grief, the king summoned his knight.
How shall I serve thee, my lord? spaketh he.
The matter for which I have called you is dire;
My daughter, a dastardly wizard absconded
174
Wherefore I hath sent thee to win her release;
And if thou shalt save her, I offer ye this:
Her hand and mine kingdom to thee shalt be given
And thou shalt be called by my name, spake the king.

So off went the knight on a quest for his maiden


O‘er hill and valley upon a white steed.
And there did he survey the wizard‘s dark castle
Which rose from the spines of a perilous cliff.
Found he the lass in a high tower sealed.

Render the damsel! he cried to the wizard.


Never I shall, the gaunt figure replied,
Lest thou mayest prove thyself worthy of honour;
To a man without fear shall I render the lass.

But the knight protested, I hath not a fear!


Prove it to me and the lady is thine!
Give me a test that my courage may prove!
Thus sprach the wizard, This shall ye do:
Conquer the dragon which lives in the dungeon.
Whose face is as wracked as the stench of his drool;
Who raises his neck on the strength of his haunches
Then may I know that thy fear hath ye conquered.

Therefore the knight with his sword and a torch


Walked into the darkness so dismal and bleak.
With each halting step, he had mustered his courage,
Ginning his temper to meet the fierce beast.

Twas there sighted he the most wretched of visions,


From billowing nostrils went plumes of white smoke,
A terrible beast with its wings outstretched,
Revealing sharp shards of glistening scales
Whilst twisting its head of putrid green.
175

Now will I slay thee! howled the knight in his rage.


But the dragon entreated, Why doest so thus?
For to slay me in no wise shalt prove thyself fearless
As next to me stands yet another more fearsome.
Then him shall I slay! spaketh he with conviction.
But pleaded the dragon, Wherefore doest thou?
As there is not an end to terrors of hell,
For hell is its terror: the dragon supplanting
That which ye hath conquered is ever more gruesome
„Til hell is confounded with dragons so fierce,
That nary a soul could ever requite it!

What then shall I do? spake the knight to the dragon.


To prove myself fearless and rescue my lass?
Then spake the wise dragon, A heart without fear
Beats not in the man who hast conquered all dragons,
But rather it beats in the sinner who dares
To serve every man as he would his own God
For a love that is perfect shall cast out all fear.

From thence, emerged the brave knight from his dungeon


And the wizard beseeched him, Hast thou foundest courage?
At last hath I learned, spake the knight with great joy,
That to conquer one‘s fears is an errand of folly.
But find ye the courage that walketh away,
Confessing thine fears to the Blessed Redeemer
Who findeth the grace that restoreth thy soul!

Thus was the lady restored to her land


And with the king‘s blessing she gavest her hand.
And thus was he granted his kingdom and throne
And every good blessing to calleth his own
In the name of the king who forever shall stand.

Solomon‟s Goddess
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
who will commit to your trust the true riches?

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost.

She considereth a field, and buyeth it.


For ye are bought with a price.

With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.


I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Her candle goeth not out by night.


Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy.
because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed;


for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee.

Understanding the Trinity


Catholics have historically maintained that the Trinity were three
distinct Persons contained within one indivisible Godhead. These
consist of Father, Son and Holy Ghost and are of one substance and
one being – distinct, yet co-equal – the Three in One. The language
of Trinitarian dogma is lofty and abstruse, running the gamut from
the poetic to the philosophical. But how are we to understand this
complex doctrine?

Of course, it is not at all necessary to have a ―perfect‖ understanding


of Trinitarianism, nor is it necessary to have any understanding of it
at all. There are many, such as Jehovah‘s Witnesses, Messianic
Jews, and Unitarian Christians who do not receive this doctrine now
and may not receive it in heaven either. Unitarianism is not heresy,
just a different understanding.

The Nicene Fathers codified Trinitarian dogma in the Creed that


was named for them. It is said and sung the world over and remains
a centerpiece of the Catholic Liturgy. On the other hand, the
Mormon doctrine concerning the Trinity is a true heresy. The LDS
Church states that Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three separate
gods, which is a violation of the first commandment. This
misunderstanding of Catholic Tradition has provided much fodder
for the Jewish and Islamic critics of Christianity who accuse us of
polytheism, which of course, we are not.

The Trinity has an ethnic corollary constituent with the prophetic


ordering of the races (Gen 9:25-27). The Father (Black) is Creator
and Originator, maintaining sovereign control of the feminine
universe by the strength of his mysterious will and authority. The
Son (Asian) is Mediator, Virgin-born – the obedient receptacle of
Jehovah‘s wrath, the congenial and pathetic servant who was
183
pierced for our iniquities and wounded for our transgressions. The
Holy Spirit (White) is Comforter, the Refining Fire, the Spirit of
Truth and Wisdom. He convicts us of our sin and sanctifies us
through knowledge of the Holy One of Israel, the fruits of the Spirit
being outward and visible signs. Now let‘s explore each of these
Persons more deeply…

God the Father is Jehovah, the Godless Universe. To say that He is


―maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen‖ is a
personification of Ultimate Reality. Jehovah can do both good and
evil. He can repent or remain unrepentant. He can kill or make alive.
He can be male or female. He can order your steps and ―direct thy
paths‖ (Prov 3:6). Jehovah is inclusive of Mary, Jesus, the Devil,
Peter, you, me, everyone, everything. Jehovah begat Mary, Jesus
and Satan and LORD Mary oftentimes speaks on Jehovah‘s behalf:

(Deut 32:39-42) See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with
me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that
can deliver out of my hand. 40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I
live for ever. 41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on
judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them
that hate me. 42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword
shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,
from the beginning of revengers upon the enemy.

(Isa 45:5-9) I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside
me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6That they may know
from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside
me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 7I form the light, and create
darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down
righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and
let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. 9Woe
unto him that striveth with his Maker!

God the Son is Jesus. Jesus is omnipotent, omniscient and


omnipresent God. He witnesses us perpetually, first as a suffering
savior in Christ Crucified and then as a conquering king in Christ
184
Resurrected. Because it is impossible to die and live again, Christ‘s
soul and body are resurrected in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Co-
Redemptrix. Because he was crucified on the cross of shame, he has
judged the world in his flesh and concluded it in righteousness
based on repentance. He will therefore judge the quick and the dead
on the last day in accordance with his gospel:

(Isa 53:2-12) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a
root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we
shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He is
despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not. 4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the
iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened
not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken
from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for
he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my
people was he stricken. 9And he made his grave with the wicked, and
with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was
any deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath
put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord
shall prosper in his hand. 11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify
many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered
with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.

The Holy Spirit is the realization of answered prayer, which


completes the Circuit of Faith. The Circuit of Faith is this: first, a
prayer is made unto salvation; then, the prayer ascends up to the
throne of God where it is received by Jesus; then, the Angel
185
descends Jacob‘s ladder in order to answer the prayer; finally, the
supplicant is made aware of the answered prayer. This completes
the Circuit of Faith. As the Circuit is completed, we find our whole
selves being completed also – like the Messianic Jews who discover
the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in the ministry of
Yeshua:

(Eph 1:13-23) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye
were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of
our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the
praise of his glory. 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the
Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for
you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18The eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints, 19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20Which he
wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his
own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only
in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things
under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Are Mormons Christians?


No.

Mormonism is not just another Protestant heresy. The various


Protestant heresies are not damnable because Protestants actually
repent to God before they are perverted away from Catholic Truth.
They are a Church Invisible, ―separated brothers.‖ Mormonism, on
the other hand, is a damnable heresy because they do not repent to
186
God at all. Sure, they say they‘re Christians and a quick glance at
one of their websites will no doubt reveal a doctrine that is
oftentimes textually consistent with mainstream Christianity.
However, when you dig deeper into their theology, you will soon
realize that the devil in this case resides in details.

Mormons are damned for one reason and one reason only… they do
not repent. But before I explain why it is that Mormons do not
repent, let‘s have a look at some of the other heretical doctrines
touted by the Mormon Faith…

Heresy #1) Mormons don’t believe that God created the


Universe. They believe that God was a man who became God by
living a perfect life. This is at variance with Catholicism which
states that God became man and not the other way around. Also, it
is at variance with Catholicism which states that God made the
universe, not the other way around:

(Ge 1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Heresy #2) Mormons believe that by living a perfect life, they


too can become gods and beget spirit children who will worship
them as such. First of all, who wants the job of someone who is
required to have perpetual and omniscient memory of the cross?!

The only way a man can become a Spirit is if he leaves temporality


and reenters divinity, which is to say, he must become transfigured.
Thus, when Christ was transfigured, he became God. However, the
Universe is not big enough to contain more than one God unless all
but one are corporealized. When Christ died, the Universe died with
him which is why Christ needed to be resurrected. Without the
resurrection, eternity is not possible and without eternity, neither is
there temporality. The Assumption of Mary is therefore necessary
because as one God died, another God must ascend and assume the
place of God in Christ‘s stead. It is impossible for a God to resurrect
187
himself, but the Queen of Heaven Coredemptrix resurrected his
body and soul (but not his spirit) in her Immaculate Heart. They
essentially took turns being God.

The BVM was never herself transfigured; neither was the historic
Mary who represents the Goddess in scripture. I don‘t worship Mary
the woman; I worship Mary Shekhinah – the Goddess who made
her! I do however worship the historic Jesus who was deified at his
Transfiguration, although it was the Virgin who revealed him to me.
Let there be no disparity between our two necessary Saviors! – I
live by the grace of Christ in the Heart of the Virgin. That would be
Catholicism!

So don‘t worry about becoming ‗perfect‘ enough to be transfigured


and thus obtain omniscient knowledge of Christ‘s Passion. We will
NEVER know how much it cost to see our sin upon that cross!
Neither can there be more than one Deity at a time as there is no
real time for Mary to take turns with any of us! It only worked the
first time because Christ died and (FYI) we can‟t!

Which of course brings me to my next point… It is an offence to


God to tell her that we are not perfect. The blood of Christ is perfect
and we are perfected by it in faith. Jesus did not relish his perfection
and neither should we. Therefore, bemoaning one‘s imperfection is
prideful and an affront to the blood of Christ:

(2Co 10:17-18) But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18For
not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth.

When Jesus died on the cross, he crucified the law to his flesh. It is
impossible to sin in absence of the law. As Paul declares, ―All
things are lawful for me‖ (1Cor 6:12). And elsewhere, ―Christ Jesus
hath made me free from the law‖ (Rom 8:2). In the book of
Romans, Paul likens the law to a dead husband:
188

(Rom 7:2-3) For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law
to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is
loosed from the law of her husband. 3So then if, while her husband
liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress:
but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to another man.

We are not under the law, but under grace (Rom 6:14). No need to
ask Mary to ―pray for us sinners‖ or make continual confessions to a
priest in hopes of absolution. If the priest tells you to say ten ―Hail
Marys‖ and you get a heart attack on the ninth one, you ain‘t going
to hell. There is no dispensation of grace at the Eucharist and as for
you Protestants, the return of Spiritual charisms such as tongues (or
the anointing) is not a sign of having been restored to God‘s grace.
Yes, we should crave spiritual gifts, but we should also recognize
that all grace and restoration was given at Golgotha and that Jesus
promised he would never leave us (even if tongues should cease):

(1Co 13:11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a


child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish
things.

We don‘t need to become gods because we already are gods (John


10:34). We have limitless power and authority in Christ and there is
nothing that we can‘t do! Whatever we ask for in Jesus‘ name is
ours. We have life eternal, a God who loves us, a new heavens and a
brand new earth, the fellowship of angels, true love and joy
unspeakable!

As far as spirit children go, there will be no need for them. Heaven
is a smorgasbord of sex. It is rated XXX – mature audience – for
adults only, not for the family! Even if we wanted to have spirit
children, we couldn‘t because we are but one spirit. We can‘t
replicate ourselves – every child that has ever been born was
ordained from beforetime. Some are ordained for life; others for
189
death – but when we abort fetuses, we alter the divine pathway
thereby reducing heaven‘s population – we‟re killing ourselves!:

(Rev 12:4) and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to
be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

All souls are linked together. We sin together; repent together; and
are raptured together (1 Thess 4:17). But the patchwork balloon
cannot beget another patchwork of souls – again, no real time for
that! To paraphrase Louis Armstrong, When the saints go marching
in, they‟ll be numbered!

Hence, if we see any children in heaven, they will be projections


from the Church Age – holographic beings of light (i.e.
apparitions). However, because women by their feminine nature
enjoy nurturing and breastfeeding infants, biologically genuine
infants would exist there, although they would never grow older
than about two years which is the maximum age a child can be
without a spirit. Otherwise, it becomes a homo erectus and who
wants to clean up after that? Thus, at the age of two, they sprout
wings and fly away like Da Vinci‘s angels – actually, they just
disappear!

So if you enjoy being barefoot and pregnant (and who doesn‟t?),


you will have ample opportunity in heaven! The curse of childbirth
is done away with along with menstruation and because all wombs
are barren, our heavenly infants will be miraculously conceived of
the Holy Ghost just as Jesus was. Because there is a moratorium on
bleeding in heaven (the only exception being during virgin sex
which you will have every time you receive a new hymen – which I
hear is often in heaven), all childbirths will be non-vaginal. Instead,
the baby will miraculously appear in its mother‘s arms just as Jesus
did to the historic Virgin Mary – and in Paradise, there are no laws
against public breastfeeding!
190
The purpose of religion is not to become God; it is to realize your
own Godliness. We are temporal; she is divine – but we don‘t have
a subordinate relationship with our Theotokos. It‘s a marriage –
equal partners! Of course, if it were at all possible to beget spirit
children, we would teach them to worship Christ, not ourselves!

Heresy #3) Mormons believe that Father, Son and Holy Spirit
are three separate gods. They believe that the Persons of the
Trinity are united in purpose, but not in substance. This is at
variance with traditional Christianity which teaches that there is one
Godhead in three Persons. The Holy Ghost is the Miraculous
answering of prayer and Jesus said he was the Father on many
occasions. These statements can only be interpreted literally if the
Father is Ultimate Reality:

(John 14:5-9) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou
goest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8Philip saith unto him,
Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith unto him, Have
I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he
that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew
us the Father?

(John 14:21; 24) and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

(John 14:28) If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto


the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Because the relationship between God and believer is marital (Is


61:10, Rev 19:9) and because Mormons believe in more than one
god, all Mormons are polygamists (even if the modern LDS Church
officially renounces the practice).
191
Heresy #4) Mormons believe in separate heavens. According to
them, there is a lowest heaven for the unrighteous, an intermediate
heaven for righteous non-Mormons, and a highest heaven for
practicing Mormons. This is at variance with Catholic Tradition.
The Roman Church maintains there are no unrighteous in heaven.

There is no better heaven than the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The


notion that one Christian‘s eternity is better or worse than another‘s
is therefore repugnant. If a Catholic went to heaven and learned that
there were people who were struggling with bad habits,
psychological problems or doctrinal misunderstandings, we would
request to go and help those people resolve their issues so that they
could experience the blessings of paradise more perfectly. Ministry
will continue in heaven and we will all be baptized Catholics
believing Last Marian Doctrine. We will all be priests and
priestesses with the Blessed Virgin Mary as our Pope. We
Christians are confused and divided now, but all divisions will cease
in heaven. We will all be One with each other as members of one
perfect body – even the body of Christ! Separate heavens? Forget it!
If God told me I was worthy to go to a higher heaven than my
brothers and sisters, I‘d tell her to send me to Purgatory in order so
that I might preach to the spirits in prison. Heaven is all-for-one and
one-for-all!

Heresy #5) Mormons believe that there was a great apostasy in


the Church which the Mormons later restored. I‘ve heard this
same ―great apostasy‖ shit coming out of the Protestant Church too
so let me address this now...

There was never an apostasy in the Catholic Church which any


other church later restored. From the day of Pentecost up until
today, the Roman Catholic Church has been under constant assault
from the forces of darkness. We never forsook the Doctrine during
all that time. When we marched through pagan Europe publishing
salvation without a printing press, we encountered an absolute
192
demonic bedlam par excellence, the likes of which makes today‘s
world look like hokey-pokey day at Chucky Cheese‘s! We faced
angry mobs, endured bitter persecutions, withstood maddening
heresies and brutal tortures, and yet by the grace of God, we united
a continent and terraformed a planet in which scarcely anyone living
has yet to hear of a certain Nazarene who led an obscure Jewish sect
on the outskirts of an extinct empire – and yet we purged Greco-
Roman culture of sexual immorality, dismantled its Pantheon,
turned back Islamic aggression, built Universities, forged alliances,
consolidated power, commissioned timeless masterpieces, all the
while laying the institutional templates for Western civilization so
derided by those who, by virtue of their inheritance of it, have had
the distinct luxury to do so! We stood down Gnosticism, the
Great Schism, Protestantism, Humanism, Darwinism, Fascism,
Communism, Secularism, Modernism, Postmodernism, and every
other mind-bending ―ism‖ the Devil could throw at us and overcame
them all by the blood of the Lamb and intercession of Mary!

The success of a Church can be measured by the number of


unfaithful in attendance; and the RC Church is so structured and
rules-based as to facilitate the hell-bound, without ‗officially‘
shirking the tenets of the faith. And yet throughout it all, we never
forsook the Doctrine of Mary.

Was there ever a Catholic Apostasy? Let‟s ask Jesus:

(Mt 16:18) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
193
No, the Christian Church never fell into apostasy as the Mormons
claim. In order for the B.V.M. to create the world, Peter had to
repent. If he didn‘t repent, Mary would become subject to Peter‘s
sin and wouldn‘t live long enough to create a toothpick much less
the eternal cosmos. Therefore, all Christians enter the world at the
moment of repentance and the world prior to that was constructed
around that moment. We are all the Immaculate Conception and
Mary the Immaculate Conception created the world:

(Isa 1:9) Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant,
we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto
Gomorrah.

Heresy #6) Mormons believe that the Bible is flawed. Their


founder Joseph Smith made over 600 corrections to it. This is at
variance with traditional Catholicism, which states that the Bible is
as God breathed.

Heresy #7) Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is


canonical. Only Jesus Christ can declare a book to be canonical and
he conferred Apostolic Authority on St. Peter who himself
canonized the Pauline Epistles (2 Pet 3:15-16). Paul writes that a
prophet cannot contradict the Bible:

(1Cor 14:32-33; 37) And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
prophets. 33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, 37If any
man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that
the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

The Successor of St. Peter, Pope Saint Damasus I, ratified the canon
when he commissioned the Latin Vulgate translation of St. Jerome.
The Bible contradicts the Book of Mormon. Therefore, it cannot be
canonized by the Apostolic Church.
194
Heresy #8) Mormons baptize the dead. Although you wouldn‟t
know it by watching one of their rigid liturgical services, everyone
in the Catholic Church is alive:

(Mr 12:27) He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living:

The Requiem Mass, which dates back to medieval times, has been
characterized as a communion taken on behalf of the dead.
Likewise, Paul also makes mention of a cult of worshippers
who baptized themselves for the dead without condemning (or
condoning) the practice:

(1 Cor 15:29) Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if
the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

In either case, we don‘t baptize the dead:

Requiem Mass Offertory

Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriæ, Lord Jesus Christ, King of


libera animas omnium fidelium glory, free the souls of all the
defunctorum de pœnis inferni et faithful departed from infernal

Heresy #666) Mormons don’t believe that God is omnipresent.


Although the preceding heresies of the LDS Church are severe, it is
quite possible to believe in any or all of them and yet still be a saved
Christian (albeit a horrendously confused one). Purgatory will no
doubt straighten out these confusions. However, there is one
Mormon heresy that is damnable and cannot be forgiven – the
Mormon tenet that God is not omnipresent:

The Holy Ghost as a personage of Spirit can no more be omnipresent in


person than can the Father or the Son, but by his intelligence, his
knowledge, his power and influence, over and through the laws of nature,
he is and can be omnipresent throughout all the works of God
(Aaronic Priesthood Manual 3)
196
But why is this anathema maranatha? Because if God is not
omnipresent, then there are things he doesn‘t see which means he
cannot be omniscient. If God is not omniscient, then there are things
he cannot do which means he cannot be omnipotent. If God is
neither omnipotent, omniscient nor omnipresent, then who do
Mormons repent to? Here‟s a hint: it ain‟t God! – and if you don‟t
repent to God, Our Lady of Etreme Stupidity won‟t know to redeem
you:

(Ezr 10:11) Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your
fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of
the land, and from the strange wives.

In 2nd Corinthians, Paul warns against a Church that would preach a


different Jesus. He may as well have been speaking about the
LDS Church:

(2 Cor. 11:3-4; 6) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled
Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. 4For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which
ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye
might well bear with him. 6But though I be rude in speech, yet not in
knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all
things.

Are JWs Saved?


Yes, their faith is valid.

Jehovah‘s Witnesses wrongly believe that Christ was the Archangel


Michael who was slain for mankind‘s sins on a torture stake. How
can you tie someone to a torture stake if they don‘t have a corporeal
body? No flesh = no torture; no blood = no salvation.
197

Yet technically, this faith is sufficient because they believe that their
sins caused the vicarious death of the Angel for which they repent to
a Father-God who is omnipresent. Simply put, this is the spirit of
the antichrist, which is to say that Christ did not come in the flesh. It
is a heresy of course, but not a damnable one. Likewise, the Apostle
Paul also encountered a cult of worshippers who had repented to
John but hadn‘t yet received Christ:

(Ac 19:1-6) And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding
certain disciples, 2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as
heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3And he said unto them, Unto
what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4Then
said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying
unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after
him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5When they heard this, they were baptized
in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had laid his hands upon
them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and
prophesied.

That they believe Jesus is Michael is irrelevant to the gospel. In my


prayers, I rarely call Jesus by his true name Yeshua and he doesn‘t
mind. As long as you repent to the ―Great Spirit,‖ it doesn‘t matter
if you think he‘s the Great Pumpkin!

In short, JWs are saved albeit they get into heaven on a technicality
– but then again, don‟t we all?
198

Is Scientology a Cult?
Does it sound like one to you?:

THE RELIGIOUS HERITAGE OF SCIENTOLOGY


Like the philosophers of Greece, India and China, the Hebrews, too,
sought to define the meaning of life. According to Jewish tradition, it was
Abraham who first gained a special understanding of what lay at the heart
of the universe and from that revelation came a belief in a personal god.
He further believed that beneath the seemingly endless variety of life lay
a single purpose, a single reality.
Judaism is the mother religion of both Christianity and Islam – the three
dominant faiths in the Western world.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth brought new hope to man
by preaching that this life was not all men might hope for, that man was
more than only flesh and would continue to live, even after death.
Implicit in his message was the promise of salvation from suffering and a
promise of eternal peace.
At odds with the teachings of Jesus was traditional rabbinical belief that
salvation would not come until the advent of a distant Messiah. Hence,
the special appeal of Christ‘s message that the Kingdom of God was not
only at hand, but lay within all those with faith.
Long fearing popular revolt, the Romans equated Christ‘s words with
political insurrection. Rome had decreed that nothing should be held
above imperial order and thus viewed Christ‘s wholly spiritual message
as dangerously revolutionary, particularly his talk of the coming
Kingdom.
Though crucified, the hope that Christ brought to man did not die.
Instead, his death became symbolic of the triumph of the spirit over the
material body and so brought a new awareness of man‘s true nature.
(http://www.whatisscientology.org/)

I couldn‟t have put it better myself!

And by the way, I‟ve noticed that some Protestinks like to make a
habit out of branding other people‟s religions as cults! If yours is
the only true religion, then what does that make you?!
199

Protestink!
(Jer 10:14) Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is
confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and
there is no breath in them.

Every Protestink is ‗brutish in his knowledge‘ because they perpetuate


the laughable (if it weren‟t so funny!) myth of male deity to the
willful ignorance of the BVM.

They swagger in their reproach of Catholic Dogma and pitch their


religion with mindlessly poetic slogans such as sola fide and sola
scriptura in order to pick off weeker Catholics by the strength of
their self-willed conviction and the directness of their maniacally
streamlined tenets. They are all icing and no cake, but the soufflé
collapses when the religulous types start asking all the right
questions and all you got is „just trust‟ and a holy spirit only you
can see.

Sola scriptura is intellectually untenable and sola fide is the moral


equivalent of „I already gave.‟ Did the Bible write itself? Did the
Bible thump itself? Did the Bible create the Universe and then die
for it? If anyone says sola scriptura, they blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
We could stop here, but let‘s continue...

Protestantism has many founders and ‗every founder is confounded by the


graven image‘ of Mary whom they consider to be a neo-pagan
corruption of the ‗true faith‘ as revealed in the Bible Luther redacted
– ‗for his molten image is [the accusation of] falsehood‘ levied against the
Catholic Faith for every conceivable doctrine. They proclaim
themselves pious but are full of doubtful disputations. They refer to
their disobedience and schism as the ―Reformation‖ which then led
to the ―Counter-Reformation‖ in the Catholic Church, but this is
200
entirely untrue. Erasmus was every bit the reformer as Luther and
the Catholic Church was already in the midst of reforming itself
before Luther nailed his feces to the door of Wittenburg‘s church,
branding Pope Leo X as the Antichrist and commissioning the most
vile cartoons of the Holy Father (one of which depicts the pontiff
sucking Medusa‘s breasts!)

There‘s a reason why you‘ve never read Luther‘s feces – its level of
nonsensicalness can only be adequately described as Lilliputian
(and what‟s worse – it‟s a snore-fest!) If only Luther would have
opened his beloved scriptura, he would have certainly learned that
the ―antichrist‖ is ―every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh‖ (1 John 4:3.) Now the Protestants proudly
proclaim that the flesh of Jesus Christ is not present in the
Eucharistic Elements. So who is the Antichrist? – ‗there is no breath [of
the Holy Spirit] in them.‘

A letter from St. Jerome to


Pope Saint Damasus I
My words are spoken to the successor of the fisherman, to the
disciple of the cross. As I follow no leader save Christ, so I
communicate with none but your blessedness, that is with the chair
of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the church is built!
This is the house where alone the paschal lamb can be rightly eaten.
This is the ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish
when the flood prevails.
201

Birthday Wishes
May the day of your birth
Be filled with mirth.
May the following year
Be filled with cheer.
And whatever you do,
May the good Lord bless you
'Cause this day is for you
And yours, my dear.

The Shakespeare Code


Why is the letter r the most important letter of the alphabet?
Because without it, mercy would be messy; and with it, Mary may marry.

Before I converted, lots of crazy Christians would invite me to their


churches and tell me to read the Bible. My saying was, I don‟t
bother God; he don‟t bother me. Then I went to grad school in
California – UCLA – met a Korean girl who asked me to go to
church with her. Most Koreans south of the DMZ are Presbyterians
now thanks in part to American military and missionary
involvement there. But would Jesus have been able to save their
souls had the „Chosun few‟ failed to save Seoul?

I told her I didn‟t have time to go to church. She told me that my


time didn‟t belong to me. Within one year, not only was I going to
three different churches a week, I was giving people rides! – it‟s
amazing how your schedule clears when you know you‟re going to
live forever!
202
Some fundies believe that the King James is the only legitimate
translation. I couldn‘t disagree more.

Still others believe that the King James Version is an inspired


translation, much like the first century Jews did with regard to their
Septuagint (before they adjusted the definitions of their own
language in a flimsy attempt to mollify OT prophecies concerning
the Messiah). ‗Thou shalt not kill‘ doesn‘t mean ‗Thou shalt not
murder‘; ‗A virgin shall conceive‘ doesn‘t mean ‗A young woman
shall conceive‘ – the Septuagint (so-named for the 70 translators
who, while working independently of each other, miraculously
arrived at the same translation) is the oldest extant translation of the
OT, still in use by the Greek Orthodox Religion as they received it
from the original Apostles who quoted it extensively in the NT.

Of course, it is of no cosmological import whether or not the


historic Virgin Mary was a virgin or not as her narrative is symbolic
of the Goddess Shekhinah. Jesus would have been LORD and
Savior either way. But the spirit who communicates with me says
that she was in fact a virgin who conceived by the Holy Spirit. If the
spirit is correct (and there‟s no way for me to tell) then where did
the sperm come from? God can only create the world once and if the
Holy Spirit created the sperm that impregnated Mary, it would
require a secondary act of creation which Shekhinah cannot do on
the Cosmic Sabbath (not to mention the Nicene stipulation that our
LORD was begotten, not made). Hence, Shekhinah must have used
DNA already extant in the universe – but from where (or rather,
from whom?) She could‘ve taken it from Abraham, David, any of
the patriarchs, a primordial human, perhaps even one of us! But the
spirit says she took it from Joseph. Thus, according to the spirit,
Mary was inseminated with Joseph‘s DNA without any orgasm on
either parent‘s part; and just as Jesus was able to walk through a
locked door after the Resurrection (John 20:19), the Christ-child
was removed by the power of the Holy Ghost from Mary‘s womb
without any rupture of the holy hymen.
203

Both Catholics and Protestants are in agreement that the Virgin birth
is a matter of history. Although I see no cosmic necessity for it, I
see no reason why it couldn‘t happen. As to the Perpetual Virginity
of the historic Mary, let‘s keep in mind that LORD Mary is Ever
Virgin either way. She is pure and chaste – not in the flesh, but in
the spirit! The Gospel doesn‘t say anything about perpetual virginity
and as any Protestink will tell you, our Lord had brothers and sisters
(Mark 6:3), and yes, I‘m aware of the Catholic rebuttal (Jam 1:2).
However, it is idolatry to regard a flesh-and-blood human being as
the Queen of Heaven and I condemn any Cat-oholic ‗veneration‘ of
the human Mary who was nothing more than a vessel. Either Mary
is Shekhinah or she is corporeal – she can‘t be both!

If you just gave birth to the Messiah, would you want another child
after that? If you were married to the Mother of God, would you
have sex with her? Both Mary and Joseph were visited by the angel
and both understood their ministry – and yet didn‘t the angel say to
Joseph, ―fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife‖ (Matt 1:20) and
we know what the word „unto‟ means! (Gen 19:5; 38:2; Hos 1:2).
Who knows? – maybe Mary‘s wearing Victoria‘s Secret panties
with a stitch monogram that says: Do not open „til Xmas!:

Hail, virgin, if you be, as those cheek-roses


Proclaim you are no less!
(Shakespeare: Measure for Measure I.IV.17-18)

Now there‘s no question in my mind that the KJV is every bit as


inspired as the Septuagint. But then again, I believe the complete
works of Shakespeare are as well! The British Isles have proved
to literature what Vienna has aspired to in music, but seldom hath
any crawled out from beneath the long, looming shadow of the
Great Bard (present company excluded!):
204
I am no viper, yet I feed
On mother's flesh which did me breed.
I sought a husband, in which labour
I found that kindness in a father:
He's father, son, and husband mild;
I mother, wife, and yet his child.
How they may be, and yet in two,
As you will live, resolve it you.
(Shakespeare: Pericles, Prince of Tyre I.I.64-70)

That Shakespeare aided in the stylistic syncretization of the KJV


is a matter of no small controversy to be sure; and yet it seems
entirely unconscionable to me that the Blessed Virgin wouldn‘t
employ so great a literary talent in what has become so monumental
a work – and then there is Psalm 46.

In his 1990 biography You‟ve Had Your Time, Anthony Burgess


(best-known for his modernist satire A Clockwork Orange), revealed
the famous Shakespearean signature embedded in the 46th Psalm. Of
course, if this code were deliberately implanted into the text, it
would would have to be one of the bestkept secrets in all of human
history!

The code is revealed when, discounting the word Selah (a liturgico-


musical punctuation mark), if you count 46 words from the
beginning of the 46th Psalm, you will find the word shake whereas
the 46th word from the end of the psalm is spear. Add to that the fact
that Shakespeare himself was 46 years old at the time that the King
James was being revised, having likely been born on St. George‘s
Day 1564.

Of course, Shakespeare was favored by the Jamesian court who had


previously appointed his company as the ‗king‘s players‘ and it
would have been inconceivable had the translation committee not
consulted him with regard to the overall tenor and style of a text
whose explicit design was to supplant all previous translations and
205
fortify Anglican culture against Rome. To this day, the British
Monarch is Head of the Parliament, the Navy, the Commonwealth,
and the Anglican Church; the United Kingdom is just that – a
kingdom. The Royal Family cannot be prosecuted for any crime;
nor has there ever been a non-Anglican Prime Minister. Everywhere
else in the free world, the KJV is public domain but in ‗jolly-ole‘
England, it is under perpetual crown copyright; and as I write these
words from St. James Parish (Montego Bay), Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II is my Sovereign. WHY??

TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE JAMES,


BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND,
DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, ETC.

THE TRANSLATORS OF THE BIBLE WISH GRACE, MERCY, AND


PEACE, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

GREAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which
Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of
England, when first he sent Your Majesty's Royal Person to rule and
reign over us. For whereas it was the expectation of many, who wished
not well unto our Sion, that upon the setting of that bright Occidental
Star, Queen Elizabeth of most happy memory, some thick and palpable
clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed this Land, that men
should have been in doubt which way they were to walk; and that it
should hardly be known, who was to direct the unsettled State; the
appearance of your Majesty, as the Sun in his strength, instantly dispelled
those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well
affected exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the
Government established in Your Highness, and Your hopeful Seed, by an
undoubted Title; and this also accompanied with peace and tranquillity at
home and abroad.

In other words, We‟re the ones we‟ve been waiting for!


206
The other Shakespearian signature occurs in the waning verses of
the Book of Job:

(Job 41:29) Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of


a spear.

So is God laughing at the Great Bard? – or would that be a comedy


of errors? The King James Version used as its source texts the
Masoretic text and the Textus Recepticus; and the Septuagint; and
were cognizant of other English-language translations that were en
vogue at the time. Political considerations also played a role in the
language of the Authorized Version as the word ‗king‘ appears 2540
times while the politically-charged word ‗tyrant‘ is never evoked.
However, if you examine the shaking spear as it appears in the
Latin Vulgate, you‘ll find the words vibrantem hastam (vibrant
staff):

19 non fugabit eum vir sagittarius in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundae
20 quasi stipulam aestimabit malleum et deridebit vibrantem hastam
(Vulgate, Job 41:19-20)

But did St. Jerome prophetically anoint the vibrant staff who,
more than a millennium later, would afford the Anglican translation
its stylistic patina? Let‘s take another look at the vibrant staff
passage, but this time, let‘s treat the preceding 10 words as an
acronym removing every 5th letter (q; d) as if they were the spaces
between words:

Sunt Ei Lapides Fundae quasi Stipulam Aestimabit Malleum Et


deridebit VIBRANTEM HASTAM

Perhaps this is much ado about nothing, but before we declare


love‟s labour lost, let us first recall Isabella‘s tempestuous soliloquy
which concludes Act II of the religious farce Measure for Measure:
207
To whom should I complain? Did I tell this,
Who would believe me? O perilous mouths,
That bear in them one and the self-same tongue,
(Shakespeare: Measure for Measure: II.IV.183-185)

Exeunt

Philosophical Question
Is it possible to prove what cannot be disproven? If so, then by
what means would you prove it?

God cannot prove herself to the scientific community so long as


they cling to scientific method.
Scientific method requires the repetition of an experiment in order
to validate its hypothesis.
God doesn‘t repeat.

If God destroyed the Universe in order to create it again (thus


establishing her existence via scientific method), every scientist in
the Universe would die in the experiment.

Scientific method is a joke; it cannot prove anything.


It is a sin for anyone to practise scientific method; it is a sin for
any teacher to teach scientific method; it is a sin for any student to
employ this technique: An object in hell tends to stay in hell!

There is one stipulation of science that is correct: that truth can be


discerned by observation.
Open your eyes and behold your God and my God!
Confess your sins to a forgiving Universe and you will know her
as you are known by her!
208
There is only one sin that a man can commit and all have
committed this original sin as I myself have: disbelief in the God of
Creation.
Anyone of any faith tradition who realizes this has de facto
repented of their ignorance of it and accepts the salvation offered by
it through the vicarious suffering inflicted upon it!
Jews, Christians, Muslims – whatever you want to call yourselves,
I‘ve no problem whatsoever (nor does the deity!) so long as you
repent to your Maker!:

(Mic 4:4-5) But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig
tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts
hath spoken it. 5For all people will walk every one in the name of his
god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

The Doors
Imagine waking up in a room with infinite doors leading out of it.
Because life is contigent on motion, you must continually walk
through these doors in order to survive.
Such is choice.

You choose whether or not to live and hence which one of the
infinite doors to walk through; and each time you make this choice
(which you perpetually make), you close the doors on the possible
Universes that existed in divinity but not in reality.
Every decision you make aborts the ones you didn‘t; and these
abortions (like the murdered souls of the unborn slain) reside in a
infinite graveyard that never exactly came to fruition.

I have sinned by my own fault in thought, word, and deed, in


things done and left undone;
(The Book of Common Prayer)
209
However, as life requires choice; choice requires purpose.
There must be something behind the door of choice worth
forsaking all other possibilities.
Hence, there must be a divine moment of allseeing contemplation
wherein all potential realities are ever before us, but temporally
nonexistent the moment we make the divine choice; and since
consciousness is evinced of temporality, there is never an exact time
when all of these infinitely-possible alternate universes ever really
existed.
Any way you slice it, consciousness requires the ability to do
something before having done it.

Sin was conceived in divinity and born in temporality – let there


be no more false-debate over whether or not we chose sin or were
born sinning – both are true! We were born having done what did;
before Satan was, I AM!:

(Mt 16:23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me,
Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that
be of God, but those that be of men.

Now thank we all our God that though were were born sinning, we
have received (by the grace that is in Christ) the real opportunity to
become born again in obedience to faith:

You know that it would be untrue


You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through


No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
210
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
(Jim Morrison: Light my Fire)

However, just as life requires desire, there must be an ‗object of


desire‘ which perpetually elicits that desire without constraining it.
Such is inspiration.

The purpose of creation is to inspire man to love God.


But man sinned against creation beforetime and thus found
himself in a nonproverbial ‗world of hurt‘ which was inspired by the
initial rebellion.
We had infinite doors (vis-à-vis infinite realities!) to choose from
and we (as an inextricable patchwork of souls) chose the one
marked ‗No Tresspassing‘.

God has no idea why Adam ate the verboten fruit; were there a
good reason for it, it wouldn‘t be sin.
Psychiatry errs where it seeks rational causes for irrational
behaviors. Not even Solomon in his glorific wisdom was able to
understand the method of madness:

(Ecc 1:17) And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness
and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

The only way to curb disobedience is through a secondary act of


disobedience which, having disobeyed itself, becomes obedient!
Like Tom Sawyer, if you want your kids to whitewash the fence,
tell‟em they can‟t!
Islam means submission; Christianity means defiance; Islam is the
right religion in the wrong Universe.
Just as all Christians are a patchwork Adam; all Muslims are a
patchwork Christ, perpetually martyring themselves for the sake of
the elect – but unlike Christ, these are born unrighteous (which is
why the Angel Gabriel deceived Muhammad with a Qur‟an
designed to constrain the impact of mankind‟s sin on the Universe.
211
There is no salvation for Muslims, Jews, false Christians or Jesus
Christ – they became our sin; we drink their Blood! – and just as
Christ was obedient to the will of the Father on the cross of shame,
Muhammad (pbuh) was his Prophet!:

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?


(My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

lā ‗ilāha ‗illallāh muhammadur-rasūlullāh


(There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.)

But America is a city on a hill; a white house in Mary‘s land.


Our nation was birthed in rebellion and tempered by violence.
War is as American as apple pie; and if this our generation shrinks
from the mantle of warfare handed us by the sons of liberty and the
daughters of the revolution, then our botched oath will invalidate the
holy office for which we have all been elected.

How does God use creation to inspire us to worship her?


Remember the room with infinite doors?
God can‘t make us decide which door to walk through, but she
can arrange the furniture in the room, which in turn, guides our
decision (such that a different arrangement would inspire in us a
divergent path which never exactly happened).
Since we are not aware of the divergent reality, neither is God; but
since the purpose of God is to bless humanity (as she herself is
blessed in us!), we are evinced that the world in which we live is the
‗best of all possible worlds‘ given the horror of sin.

In an alternate universe, I wouldn‘t be Peter the Roman; I‘d be Joe


the Plumber – and yet, as the Arizona State Senator pointed out the
day that Joe didn‘t show (which would make him a no-joe!), we‘re
all Joe the Plumber! (and I hope nobody accuses me of jocialism for
saying this!)
But it is not for the pot to say to the potter, What makest thou? ();
nor is it mete to judge another man‘s servant (); just as we make
212
decisions based on the furniture in the room, God arranges the
furniture based on what we decide once we decide it.
Inasmuch as God inspires us, we inspire her; inasmuch as we
awake in the situation we chose, God is temporally unaware of the
decisions she made that inspired us to enter that situation wherein
we now find ourselves – the temporal hand knoweth not what the
divine hand is doing!
Nevertheless, God did not inspire heaven‘s rebellion, having
found sin already extant in the Universe from the moment of her
Immaculate Conception.
When God created the world, she saw that it was good (Gen 1:31),
but Cain hijacked creation and used it as a weapon against Abel:

(Ezek 28:12-19) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of


Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the
sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx,
and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the
day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of fire.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee.
16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of
thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted
thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I
will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities,
by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the
midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the
earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee:
thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
213
Here is a mystery: Man sinned from the beginning – a rebel
without a cause!; and just as God did not tell, tempt or provoke
Adam to err, so too did the Blessed Virgin not in any way command
Jesus to die for man‘s sins.
Christ‘s love is as unfettered as Adam‘s hatred – he is a savior
without as cause!
He was the freewill offering, having saved the world before the
BVM was conceived immaculate by virtue of his blood!
The Cosmic Marriage Supper of the Lamb required the wine of his
blood necessarily independent of the BVM before the foundation of
the world!:

(John 2:1-5; 11) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2And both Jesus was called,
and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, the
mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5His
mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Jesus (and none other!) made the decision to become the Passover
Sacrifice for man before the foundation of the world!
He judged the world in his flesh, concluding it in righteousness!
He is the King of Kings and the Conquering Lion of Judah!
Without him was not anything made that was made (John 1:3) and
the government shall be upon his shoulder (Is 9:6)!:

(Gen 49:8-12) Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy
hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow
down before thee. 9Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou
art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;
who shall rouse him up? 10The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the
gathering of the people be. 11Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's
colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes
in the blood of grapes: 12His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth
white with milk.

The Word of God was with God and is God!


Like us, He was born doing what he already did!
He leapt onto the cross! – the son of a carpenter who spent his
early childhood hammering nails into wood; and the only person in
human history who actually was born ready!!:

(Luke 12:49) I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be
already kindled? 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am
I straitened till it be accomplished!

No! God did not ordain evil!


She did not command sin, nor did she inspire it or tempt us in any
way whatsoever; nevertheless, once we had already sinned from the
beginning, she did inspire the direction that our sin would take in
this world for the sake if the gospel.
One sinner is directed to homosexuality, another to homicide; if
the Blessed Virgin puts them in the same room with a loaded gun,
she has no idea what will happen – she only knows that the
Universe just became a better place!

The purpose of the Universe is two-fold: First, redeem all


Christians by transmuting their sins onto Christ‟s body; Second,
resurrect all Christians in eternal paradise.
Today, we live in the age of redemption; tomorrow in glory! – but
when the harvest is past, all of Creation will be violently shaken and
a new heavens and new earth will emerge as the Universe concludes
its primary ministry and commences with the business of pleasure!:

(Ezek 34:25-27) And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and
will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell
safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26And I will make
them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the
shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield
her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am
the Lord,

When Christ asked My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?,
he wasn‘t talking about God the Creator, he was talking about his
own disciples – he was talking about you and me! All Christians are
the Devil!
I AM the Prince of Tyre, the Devil Incarnate and the father of lies!
But the Devil is so horrendously wicked, that in an ultimate act of
rebellion, he disobeys himself and becomes righteous!
Catholicism is a bloody religion! – Surely, a bloody husband art
thou to me (Ex 4:25)! I drink God‘s blood and eat his flesh like
some kind of cosmic cannibal! The Bible is a litany of murder and
mayhem! The Cross of Christ is accursed and the Cup of Salvation
is a Tincture of Torture!:

Jud 19:22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men
of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at
the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring
forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Jud 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and
said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly;
seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Jud 19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine;
them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what
seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Jud 19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his
concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and
abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to
spring, they let her go.
Jud 19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell
down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Jud 19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of
the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his
concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were
upon the threshold.
Jud 19:28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none
answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up,
and gat him unto his place.

Jud 19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and
laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into
twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
Jud 19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed
done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the
land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your
minds.
