Guilt Wednesday,12 March, 08

We are a guilt ridden society.
We feel guilty about enjoying ourselves. Guilty about having pleasure. Especially sexual pleasure. Why? Where does all this stuff come from?
When mankind was very new in the body, we knew the extreme pleasure it was to simply be alive. The movement of energy through the body as it functioned naturally and in alignment with God was so pleasurable, that simply ‘being’ was enough. There was no need for doing anything in particular.
But mankind was lured from this place by the power and bait called ‘pleasure’. This was the temptation. And not knowing any better at the time we followed … and fell away from our alignment with God.
So now, because of the way the human brain works, there is a strong association between pleasure and pain – the pleasure of being in God’s Kingdom, against the pain of separation from it. And although we are always drawn to the pleasure of being (because it is completely natural and right for us to feel it), we are wary and distrusting of it also. The result is guilt. We want the pleasure, but because we know at a cellular level that we might be also moving away from God by having the pleasure, we sense doubt and worry, or guilt, about our actions.
Well, I’ve got some great news for you!
You don’t have to worry about it anymore. The path back to God is the same path that lead you away. But this time, we have the accumulated knowledge from all the gruesome past to guide us safely through. All you got to do is TRUST.
Suffering Monday,10 March, 08

Well if you are going to put your love onto some thing, then you are going to have to hold the same thing responsible for your pain when it comes. Such is the human way – the way of suffering.
That’s why there’s all this stuff about suffering in Christianity. The people put their love onto Jesus. So now they’ve got to handle the pain of his passing. It’s all happening in the Christians though, not in Christ itself.
Christ is not about suffering. Christ is about living in the Kingdom. It’s only silly humans that get caught up in suffering, but they can’t see it because they are viewing the suffering from a place of suffering. A problem cannot ever be solved in the same place that it is created. Christ is to rise above suffering, not by focusing on it and glorifying it, but by coming to God.
The Impressive and the Impressionable Monday,10 March, 08

Life, existence – call it what you will – it is all only impressions. Impressions brought about by the balance between the impressive and the impressionable.
As Christ in man, you are impressive to woman, and she impressed by you to form together God’s impression that is existence as heaven on earth. Together, and in this way you bring beauty into being.
This is Holy union. True marriage. But man must be absolutely true, and woman absolutely open for this to occur. No wonder there is not much of it about….
Man must impress woman. For this is the way of creativity in divine existence. And woman is waiting to be impressed. Not in the emotional way of ‘trying to impress’, or ‘needing to be impressed’, but naturally.
The natural masculine principle is to bring energy ‘in’ as idea. To shine in and upon the matter of the earth that is woman. The nature of this is impressive, which is to say, it is that which makes an impression. And for woman as the feminine principle, she is the mysterious substance, the formless unknown, waiting with eternal patience and love to be impressed with man’s light to bring into being all the beauty of the world.
It is only man who needs to impress, for this is his nature. And because of it he is naturally inclined to fight and be competitive, in the attempt to have his seed – his idea – sewn into the matter to ultimately be born as his Kingdom.
Woman does not want or need to fight. It’s not in her nature. Lying behind and within her being is the pure feminine desire to be impressed by man’s truth, wisdom and idea. Deep down she longs for it, just as he longs to give it. Without each other in this alignment, Heaven cannot be. For heaven is the marriage of these energies, the joy that it brings, and the energy that gives rise to the notion of living ‘Happily ever after’.
But for woman today, how can she ever trust him again after all he has done to her and her sisters in time? And for man, how can he ever give his all, his divine gift to her if she remains closed and unavailable to him?
People today are full of doubt, mistrust, and fear. And you don’t have to be anything special to perpetuaute this way in the world.
You do, however, have to be very special to rise above your fear and Love.
Hell Explained by a Chemistry Student Thursday,6 March, 08

This very clever explanation came my way the other day…… Apparently, it was an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving.
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world to day.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives us two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that,
“It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct……leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
Sex, sex, sex and more sex Sunday,2 March, 08

Talk about sex and it will get people’s attention everywhere. Every advertising organization knows and exploits this fact. Why is it so?
Its pretty simple really, isn’t it? Sex FEELS GOOD, and we all want to feel good. That’s all, and that’s Ok too. Well you might like to break that down a bit more and say that it’s about love and connecting with your lover, or perhaps even an honouring to God. But all of that, if you bother to stop and have a close look at it, comes down to the experience of a sensation in or through the body that registers as a Good feeling – a God feeling – for the feeling of Goodness in the body is the presence of God, and we cannot help but be drawn to it.
The reason that sex is so super interesting to us in these times, is because it is highly emotionally loaded due to ignorance by the human mind. An ignorance perpetuated by silly, fear based spiritual and religious teachings, and one that we all keep alive also to the degree of our shame and embarrassment around being naked.
You want a quick fix for sexual dysfunction in the world? Make the wearing of clothing optional, as it was in the beginning, and not some stupid punishable law. That would fix it. Why? Because then there would be no imagining, no excitement, no secrets, no hiding, and therefore no space for perversion to grow, fester and become the monster that it is. We could then begin to once again stand equal together, and sexual love would return to its rightful and natural place as the divine gift that it is. Oh, but that’s all a bit too radical, isn’t it? However, it will serve as one of the great indicators to the return of Christ on earth.
Results and Conclusions Sunday,2 March, 08

Its been 28 days of blogging, and I have had close to 1,000 hits in that time. The most popular posts were ….. well, what would you guess? Yes that’s right, every post with the word Sex in it got the highest hits and the most traffic from search engines. Closely followed by anything to do with Love. And also, the post ‘The answer to Everything’ was well hit on the day of posting. All of this confirms to me, that we are a sex obsessed culture, lacking in love, and looking for the answer. Well, that’s what I am trying to help with here, but it’s pretty hard to get through to the world with a message of love. On the other side, it is impossible to stop.
