No Sith Lords, No Jedi Knights
There is no intent to be elitist here.
The nature of what we pursue winnows out most of humanity before we get started. Most of us — most of you who take my blather seriously — can look back over our lives and realize that we were searching virtually from the start of our awareness. If we were at all aware of where the mainstream stood, something inside of us revolted and said there had to be another way. And somehow we became aware of that inner resistance and began searching. Among those actively searching, a few have found an affinity to what I have managed to put into words here.
It’s humbling; it makes me weepy-eyed to think I’ve been able to serve you. The sense of privilege and good fortune is off the scale. I’ve talked about what I believe were the primary symptoms of searching and finding God’s truth, and it includes the crushing sense of humility as a mighty gift from His hand. Surely you see the paradox of having to claim verbally to all the world that God has given us that gift. It requires that we invest some effort showing how it works in us. It’s the difference between proclaiming you are humble versus acting with humility. It’s not native to our social mythology, but nonetheless recognizable.
Mythology is fundamentally the broad feel about reality that characterizes a culture or civilization. It was never a question of whether the myths were an accurate record of history, but the need for a narrative that establishes how it feels to be alive. Much of my blather here aims at deconstructing and dismissing the mythology of Western Civilization. We struggle to build a new mythology from the ancient ruins of what stood in the Bible. I can’t estimate how conscious ancient men were in shaping the mythology of their times, but it seems we can’t get far without it now.
The West has simply swallowed the dour, sour Nordic gloominess without even recognizing it. This background eliminates the underlying flavor of so very much of what is in the Bible. About the only way you can be happy in the West is to be drunk or otherwise insulated from the gloom. Meanwhile, that underlying gloom never goes away. I cannot for the life of me see how the Ancient Near East could have ever developed the horror genre of fiction. But because Westerners read their gloomy outlook back into the Hebrew Scriptures, you’ll see various claims about Sheol and the grave that simply aren’t supported in ancient literature of neighboring cultures. The Bible uses those terms contextually, which is something Westerners simply cannot grasp, at least not on the scale of variability natural to the Ancient Hebrew mind.
I’m touching on all of this to offer an antidote. If you have been following recent blog posts at all, you might have caught onto the humming, thrumming, joy of living that one finds in communion with the Spirit Realm. That such divine music can be discerned in nature is a natural result of recognizing that God is our Creator and Lord, and has said that His character was injected into the DNA of all things that exist. It’s not just a figure of speech in the Bible to suggest that all of nature is alive in its own right. Whatever it is that cathexis is faking, the real thing does exist — you can connect to the universe in full joyful communion without losing your identity. You will surely shed some moral injustice, but whatever it is that God knows about you that makes you unique does not atomize and dissipate in communion with His divine work. We don’t lose our selves; we simply shed the damage and find our real selves.
I seek to act on behalf of my Father’s glory. When I wander in the woods, whatever is out there cannot upset His plans for me. That I might not like some elements of those plans is merely a reflection of how much farther I have to go to be morally just. When I learn to like what God likes, I am living in that alternative universe that He designed us for.
So I don’t fear the shit that you can read in the likes of the Left Behind series. That’s not from Scripture, but a reflection of that Nordic false mythology injected into biblical words. Because of my alternative grasp of reality, I seriously doubt there is any human agency that fully understands that communion without being captivated by it. While Satan and the demons do understand it, they are not able to transfer the full weight of their perversion into human souls without killing them. So there are no human-demon hybrids on par with Christ, the Son of God. They cannot be.
Rather, what you and I can expect from the future of human maneuvering excludes the idea of Sith Lords or what have you. People cannot become acquainted with the fullness of such power without surrendering to Christ. We have no shortage of folks convinced that they have such power against the Kingdom of Heaven, but it ain’t happening. So you should expect their plans to fail in the long run, because they lack the fullness of moral wisdom woven into reality. The only reason they’ve gotten this far is that God has use for them.
A genuine global government is unlikely. We might get some agency claiming such power, but it will be inherently false. In fact, things are pretty fragile at lower levels. Thus, about the time some movement is made to take over the existing US (however you interpret that), a number of states will simply revolt. Maybe it will be a piecemeal rejection of federal laws (already happening) that simply metastasizes or there could be one or more clear and formal departures. Either way, this thing isn’t going to be that simple. That there will be much mayhem, destruction and death is taken for granted. War is the number one growth industry in our world, but we won’t have any single human agency running all of the wars at the same time.
What we will have is an implacable lust for power and wealth reaching for all it can get until the system on which it relies comes apart. There is no way any alliance based on such lusts can remain united and stable against all opposition. There are too many unreliable humans involved. So at some point the current system will break down, and the only question is the what kind of entertainment it will be. Personally, I tend to think it will come as a mixture of big chunks and a thousand fractures on the side.
By the same token, we are not Jedi Knights, either. There is nothing belonging to this world that is worth saving. Whatever power God grants us, it won’t be much use in activism of any kind. The greater your spiritual depth, the less interest you have in such things. Once again: Our divine mission is not to get involved in any of the fights willfully, but to find where God leads us so that we can exploit it all for His glory.

A Proverb for Today
Speaking of proverbs…
Context: The religion we teach here is non-Western. You knew that, right? To Westerners, that reads as “anti-Western” so I often use that term for the sake of “honesty” as Westerners view things. So, for example, we aren’t “Green” because we don’t worship the earth, but we are in communion with all of Creation as it worships the Creator. We know beyond all doubt that Creation is a living thing itself, and that many elements in Creation can take on a moral presence as individual creatures.
I could go on at length, but you get the picture: We are utterly alien to Western society, and they to us. We exist in a parallel universe — how else can you say it? We operate on a moral reference found in all of Creation, but to which Western Civilization is not just blind, but hatefully and truculently stupid about refusing to recognize it. We know better than to reflect that hatred back, but we are nonetheless exceedingly cynical about any good thing coming from any person who remains essentially Western.
Our God has the power to do anything that pleases Him, and we know that He has called us to resurrect this ancient truth of His revelation. Not that we have it nailed, but if we didn’t find this closer to reality, we wouldn’t be pursuing it, would we? Sometimes you need a soundbite to answer the bullshit, so here goes:
If you evaluate Western Civilization by Western moral values, it’s hard to see the failures.
In Western terms, it’s cultural hubris. It’s also Circular Reasoning.
A correlative realization is that God didn’t just pick the Middle East; it was neither thoughtful nor random. God designed and built the Ancient Near East as the closest reflection to reality and human nature. Then He used that cultural background to reveal Himself. Once that job was done, He did allow things to go to pot in the sense that today’s Middle East bears only a superficial connection to the ANE. There is some overlap in intellectual assumptions about reality, but you’d have to be a real scholar of Antiquities to discern what is and isn’t connected, and how.
But beyond all this, that we who are fully awakened find ourselves in sweet communion with nature in worshiping the Creator makes us utterly alien to those around us. Not only that, but we seek ultimate truth at a level above the intellect in a world that denies there is anything above the intellect. How many folks geographically close to you evince even the slightest sign of our kind of consciousness? This is an age and time when it’s very important to know how to keep your faith and remain strong against what feels like the entire human race. We are by no means hermits, but we are called to something that tends to isolate us on that level.

Adjustments
Religion is just a word referring to the human effort to respond to the imperatives of the Spirit. Religion is how we do what God requires of us, so don’t buy into the silly nonsense that some religious activity is somehow better than “mere religion.” We should not allow misguided folks to debase the meaning of the word. I teach religion because genuine spirituality cannot be put into words.
My religion needs some adjustments. It’s not a question of the underlying mission, but of the means and methods. Neither the message nor the mission has changed, but there is an intervening step. There is something yet to be accomplished on the way.
To the degree you regard yourself a part of this parish and what it represents, you and I must learn the ways of virtual fellowship. On the one hand, it’s the same fellowship of believers from ancient times. On the other hand, this is a new thing, and you certainly won’t find much about it in Scripture. Still, I knew several decades ago that holiness and faith touches something that does not suffer the limits of time and space. I’m not sure what I can do about the time factor, but I do know that you and I could learn to overcome much more of the space factor than has yet been tried. That is, almost everything we do has a measure of newness even if it appears on the surface the same as what other Christians do.
We will have to learn the ways of long-distance communion. This was simply not possible in Bible times, so we are blazing a fresh trail in that sense. There is a trade-off in there, but I sense we have a small advantage. We lose the warmth of the physical human touch. Yet, in the another sense, we can touch the entire globe, in theory at least. But I tell you a secret: It’s the desire that makes us holy, not the achievement. Okay, I’ve said that before. It’s the sense of longing that constitutes love and communion, not the actual physical proximity. If Jesus can heal long distance (Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10), we can experience the miracle of love and fellowship long distance.
This is not meant to bind you to my experience of the mission. It’s just another lesson wholly consistent with Christian Mysticism. It’s already a lesson you have to learn for this parish, because I don’t know any of you close enough to visit with in the flesh. As your pastor, I simply extend this lesson as a standard feature of this religion that fits the context.
So this simplifies my prayer requests. Granted, you understand by now that our minds were given by God to organize and implement the imperatives of the heart. Real prayer goes beyond words, but to share with you means I give you something you can remember.
We still need to move from our current residence. Much as I and the contractors will try to clean it up, once mold moves into a home made of such materials, it’s permanent. For my own health, I need to move as soon as the Lord permits. The only useful guidance I have there is that we find a place relatively close to where my wife works. For me it’s enough that we simply avoid sources of allergens.
Just about any place to call “home” will do because I suspect my near-term future mission will include some travel. That is, I need a job, and about the only sensible thing I can think of is what’s on my resume [PDF] already. More to the point, I’m hoping I can work at something that brings me into contact with military folks. Off the top of my head, I think a primary example would be personal assistant to someone with a substantial defense contract. However, the primary objective is a broad exposure to folks in uniform.
As previously noted, there are plenty of folks searching who aren’t going to search on the Internet for something like the religious teaching here. So we have to go to them and live our faith in such a way they reach out for it. I’ve been warned in my spirit not to expect many, just a few scattered here and there. While I believe I would be most effective working among military folks, you have to decide for yourself where God says you’ll find the harvest of souls. For me, there is the added bonus that the military mandatory transience would mean the faith is spread farther yet into corners none of us might ever go. So while the Net is a primary means of our fellowship and sharing, it’s not the primary means of reaching folks.
And here’s another point: Some of you can write books on this faith just as well as I do. You have your own story to tell. Some of you promote my books and you can be sure I’ll pass that on to other writers. Show me what you’ve got. There are limits, of course, just as you should likely have reservations about things I write. Still, let’s not pretend my stuff is the only thing in our parish library. If your blog covers similar stuff, let me know. The blog roll can surely be expanded. This is not for a close circle of elite insiders. If not writing, then music or some other expression of faith that can be shared would be a welcome treat.
I warned yesterday that the task before us is monumental, so we had better get started, and the sooner the better. Share with us your narratives of people awakening.
A Vision of Sharing
“For where two or three are assembled in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20
Shedding the trappings of a broken past is highly variable. God alone decides what survives into the new life He gives each of us. Sometimes the assumptions and expectations of the past die slowly. It’s not pretty to watch.
It was an old mental habit; I was literally hoping to build a mission here. At one time I had hopes of seeing a significant number of believers join us in our home for worship and study. I’m starting to sense this simply isn’t possible in the near future, and maybe not even during my lifetime. Maybe it won’t happen for any of you, dear readers, either. It’s not that God can’t do it, but I seriously doubt now that He has any such plans for me. My heart tells me it’s rooted in the nature of our times.
Instead, we will continue to be widely and thinly scattered for now. We are the first fruits of God’s new work. I’ll still do a lot of long distance pastoring. Obviously I’m at peace with that, excited even. Meanwhile, I still sense that there are a lot of folks out there seeking who simply won’t find us as you, dear readers, have done. Rather, we all have to be ready to share this faith wherever we go in other ways.
You should not imagine it like current mainstream religion does, where you seek to win a formal convert. It’s nothing like that. We offer as much moral and spiritual food as anyone will take at any given time and place. What they do with it is their problem. By the same token, we’ll gladly receive what they give us. But in the context of our society’s expectations, this will be a rather solitary religion. Not that we are called to be hermits, but that our world is deeply hardened against this.
We are a force that cannot be located on any map, but a powerful assembly connected through that alternative universe of moral truth. You can be sure the earth itself keeps track of us. It knows where we all are because it loves us. We are the peaceful relief it gains from the true revelation of the children of God (Romans 8:19 again). It will protect and encourage us in every way possible. We don’t have to know each other’s names because Creation itself calls to each of us.
We can remain connected virtually here and in other ways that take advantage of the modern technology of virtual communications. I’m not here to gather you all on a roll of membership, but to simply be one of the many who have been set free. Let’s celebrate our freedom together. Get together with others of like faith when you can, but know beyond all doubt each of us will meet in eternity.
As long as God sees fit to protect and prosper this blog and my means to connect, I’ll keep posting. I’ll keep answering your comments and queries, and if you need to hear my voice or exchange personal text messages, just ask how we can do that. But as noted in yesterday’s post, this thing does not depend on me.
We are building a new reality, a world few will know for quite some time to come. We need to remember the verse quoted above, because it may well be a literal description of how we operate for a while yet. I know that in my own world, I’ve had way too much mass worship with people who wouldn’t understand much of the faith God has given me. I suppose some of you, dear readers, have a similar experience. There’s nothing wrong with it, but God offers something far better. It won’t come on our schedule. At some point we are going to find ourselves involved in something none of us has yet seen, a worship with those who truly belong in this alternative universe. But before that can happen, we have to find those people. I’ve tried to warn folks of the magnitude of the task of moving believers off their Western heritage. The Lord has refreshed in my soul just how big that is.
It’s quite possible you’ll find yourself in a more receptive atmosphere, and I celebrate with you. But your pastor here in Central Oklahoma has been warned that he will see precious little of that in the near future. So the track I’m on right now predicts a lot of that long-distance, virtual fellowship I’ve had with a few here for some time now. I’m looking forward to seeing that grow. I’m not begging you to get more involved and more interactive with me; you have to sense your own imperative for that work. Don’t do it just because I suggest it. Do it because the Lord drives you to it.
We’ve got a long way to go and a massive task ahead of us. God’s got plans He doesn’t tell us for reasons we could never comprehend. The most important thing is for each of us to know what He requires of us today. Don’t artificially separate evangelism from simply feeding the flock. For most of us, the actual work of both is exactly the same thing.
This gives a whole new meaning to “quality over quantity.”

It Would Work without Me
The word “faith” itself connotes an ultimate confidence in things we cannot possibly understand, much less control.
I can tell you that it’s there. I can show you what it does to me when I touch it. My words just might have some meaning for you, but I can’t even point out the path you have to take. There is no uniformity about it anywhere. The real thing is beyond such concepts. Indeed, it’s rooted outside our universe, so if you can’t get there in your own way, you can’t get it at all.
My work is the exact opposite of encryption and the often attached politics. I struggle hardest to produce a message anyone can read, with the broadest potential that it can be understood. The only thing I keep from you is the impertinent details of my own encounter, things that could not possibly be meaningful or useful to you. Even then, I might try to answer if you ask about such things. The whole point is that you come away, not with equal knowledge, but with equal moral power.
I want you to hear all Creation singing to you of God’s glory. I’m striving to get folks to understand that Paul meant it quite literally in Romans 8:19 that Creation as a living thing longs to see you fully connected to God’s intentions for you, as written into the revelation of His divine character. If you can develop that divine sensitivity to the moral imperatives God built into all Creation, whatever else you take from that interaction is not even a part of my considerations.
It’s the most subversive act of all in this world. I’m connecting you to the source of existence itself with the full expectation you will not end up with the same answers as mine. And you darned sure won’t have the same perceptions and answers as most of the rest of humanity. You will become alien to the rest of the people in this world. In particular, I will have helped to alienate you from Western Civilization and it’s overwhelming numbness to God’s real Presence in this realm of existence. If I can just get you connected to Him, nothing else matters.
His Creation consistently serves His moral purpose. Like Sister Wildcucumber, I want to tell you that if you piss in your yard, walk barefoot every chance you get and even lie in the grass, what grows there will be the best medicine that nature could provide. Sure, you’ll have to learn something about what grows out of the ground and how to make use of it. Yes, I’ll tell you that it also hinges on faith in such audacious acts and a prior commitment to live the moral character of God in this world. I want you to understand that this is but a tiny sample of how our Father made this world to operate. It’s a world most of humanity will never know.
Now maybe that’s simply not appropriate for you. That’s okay. There are jillion other ways you can connect to your best friend on this earth, which is the earth itself. No other friend within the universe will be so consistently in your favor as nature. The ground calls your name, the birds sing His praise, the grass rustles of His glories in the breeze and the trees wave their hands in praise. Maybe you’re stationed in the high deserts of Afghanistan — the grasses and shrubs, the rocks and dust and patches of ice and snow in the mountain passes sing His praise, too. Sure, you can lock yourself inside a man-made structure and might not hear all that, but if you aren’t nearly overwhelmed by the consciousness of it all when you step outside, then your heart is dead.
There is no one path to awakening your heart. Just know that it’s very literally true that your heart is a sensory organ superior to your mind. It has its own logic and reasoning that the mind cannot comprehend. As long as you can swallow that fact, you are half way there. Just learn to reconnect with your own heart, not as some useless poetic metaphor, but as a solid reality of your existence, and you’ll find yourself in a world the rest of humanity cannot comprehend. Once your brain is aware that it has a built-in boss and that it is supposed to serve, not rule, everything changes. You pass over into a parallel reality. Nothing else will connect you back to your own body and your own humanity in the same way.
You and God can take it from there. I’ll be glad to fellowship over as much as we can find in common, but you don’t really need me in the sense of dependency. I’m not your leader, just a cheerleader hoping you’ll do well in your own game. I’m here to help you shed your own limitations, nothing more. I want to offer what I can to build your faith, not implant mine inside an army of clones.
My God is able, and I’m so privileged that He lets me play along.

Islam Is No Threat
I’m taking a moral stand.
I run into this every day, it seems. It’s bad enough that I can’t escape the noise of liars in the mainstream press, and in some of the alternative press. But I keep bumping into real people who should know better, but they buy into the lies.
You should be under no illusion that I embrace any part of Islam. While I can’t be bothered to talk bad about them or their religion, if I believed any part of their narrative, I’d be one of them. That goes with any religion or social mythology. None of the others are particular threat, either. Our God is truly Mater of all things, and nothing on this earth will hinder His plans for you except you — and even that is limited by His sovereign will.
There is a silly notion popular in my world that Islam is somehow particularly evil and satanic, more so than anything else. You wanna know what I consider truly evil and satanic? Western Civilization. So far as I can see, there is no single influence on humanity that is more pernicious, perverted and hateful than Western Civilization. Yet even there I see that God insures some good arises from it.
Do you not see how the hysteria has taken hold here? Satan is not free to do what he pleases. All his actions are permitted by God, so we are duty bound to face it with peace and serenity. Getting frantic about something as “satanic” is not a biblical virtue; it’s a Western obsession arising from the old Germanic tribal mythology. Satan is tightly bound under God’s almighty hand, and serves strictly and properly in his mission as God’s lictor and jailer of souls.
Defending yourself against violence is an option in Christ, but it’s never automatic. Sometimes your heart will tell you it’s time to let the oppressors have their way and allow God the chance to do His work. Well, our Father is not powerless against Islam, so relax. When someone is violent and threatening, it doesn’t matter what religion they claim as the background for it. It’s not our mission to destroy any such religion or cultural background.
And for the record: ISIS (or whatever you want to call it) over there trying to take over Iraq, Syria and now with affiliates in other countries around the Mediterranean Basin — that whole thing is a false flag. It’s nothing more than a creature of the CIA, Mossad and some other clandestine agencies. I would offer a bunch of proof, but if you need such proof, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. A significant portion of their command staff is blue-eyed secular American. They wear Islam like a mask; it’s fake. It’s intended to herd us all in directions we would never voluntarily go otherwise, the established practice of governments to create enemies so they don’t have to worry about armed rebellion against their evil policies at home.
This is where I stand; this is the message you’ll get if you read this blog.

Here It Comes (Updated)
Just a quick note for astute regular readers: Holy Cynicism Time.
On a busy weekend night when folks were likely out celebrating Valentine’s Day, the NYTimes reports a story about bank hacking that saw major losses that could rise to $1 billion before it’s over.
It matters because this is what the US government worriedly said might happen some day, and then suggested we might need to regulate the Internet better. Of course, we know that means restrict it more with draconian controls. So who wants the bet we don’t start hearing about proposed regulations this next week coming from at least the US government, if not a bunch of others, as well? It won’t matter whether this is fake, a false flag or entirely real as reported, because the results will be the same.
No, I cannot predict whether any of it will affect this blog, but I’d say keep your eyes and ears open. Also, never forget: We who follow Christ are prepared to exploit any sorrow, trouble or disaster for His glory. Be His people on this earth, Brothers and Sisters.
Update: As more people study this thing, it begins to look like the NSA and friends were simply attacking the Russian banks. Not that it won’t be used for my alleged likely purpose, but it makes that scenario slightly less likely at this time.

Psalm 37
This is an acrostic psalm loaded with popular proverbs of David’s time. It’s the age old question of why it seems the wicked prosper and the righteous are blown by the winds of blind fortune. On the surface, it appears that David merely reaffirms what Job’s three friends said, but we happen to know they were literalists, whereas David is a poet full of parables. One must read between the lines to find the real treasure here. That is, living justly by the revelation of God is its own reward. If you read this expecting a literal fulfillment of the promises, you’ll miss the point. It’s also a subtle slam on activism, particularly political activism.
When you view the world through a proper moral lens of the heart, it’s as if you have stepped into an alternative universe. While you still have your feet on this fallen planet, your perception is radically altered. If you live in your head, all you can see are what the five senses and your human reason can tell you. When you live by your heart, committed to God’s revelation of the truth, you lose your obsession with material comforts and seek the peace of a clean soul. Human suffering fades into the background as mere transient context.
Thus, David jumps right in asserting you should not envy the sinners who cannot see what the godly see. When sinners die, the good times are gone. For the righteous, it’s just the beginning. Bear the toils of life with grace and embrace the truth of moral purity. That puts you in a position to sense the divine power and presence of God, and you can talk with Him knowing He hears you. Let Him worry about human events. Perhaps the wicked won’t see or understand, but God will publicly reward your private devotion to Him. So let the fools chase their broken dreams. Don’t let your sense of logic make you burn with some impossible demand for practical justice. Sooner or later it will come, but God hardly wastes that much effort to correct hearts closed to His truth. Let justice fall on sinners at God’s timetable.
David treats nature as a living being, a separate creature. The righteous will live in peace and know that all Creation is on their side — they “will possess the land.” The same land will hardly remember the passage of the wicked. There will always be oppressors and the oppressed. At some point their tools of oppression will be turned against them. Give God room to work. Turn loose your fearful grip on earthly possessions and don’t let such things possess you. Let God take care of your needs, because He really knows what’s in your best interest. Particularly when He sends His wrath through natural means, you’ll be surprised at how nature responds and still feeds the godly, if they simply wait on God and keep their eyes open for His fingerprints.
There is one noteworthy contrast that comes from too far back in the mists of ancient times to trace it down: The wicked don’t even pay just debts, but the righteous give freely beyond what they owe to men because of what they owe to God. Again, nature itself revolts at immorality and cooperates with the righteous. Even if you fall, God will catch you. David mentions that he has lived a long life and has never seen the genuinely righteous actually starving when they cry out to God. Nature provides one way or another, if you abide where God calls you.
It continues in this vein until the acrostic of the Hebrew alphabet is complete. It’s not as if righteous people don’t ever suffer empty bellies, but that they don’t starve to death unless God is ready to bring them home. He grants a peace that does not rely on mere human senses, so don’t seek your fleshly desires, but seek God personally.
