The Kingdom of Heaven

Jesus Christ is hailed as the great shepherd by his followers but in his day and age he was a black sheep. Jesus was a poet and a prophet who spoke out against the mass-consciousness of his day. He was crucified as a blasphemer because he did not bow to their god that required submission and sacrifice but taught the people of his father, showing them how to Love unconditionally and live harmoniously with the world and each other…not out of fear, duty, and obligation to an almighty deity, but sharing and serving among the whole as a freewill offering to the universe.

He allowed himself to be swallowed by the religious machine and crushed in the teeth of the gears in order to stop the wheels from turning. He destroyed the temple and ripped the sacred curtain in two. He  put the priest-hood out of work, and even canceled the annual barbecue. He established a new kingdom…a kingdom not of this world.

The “kingdom” of heaven is quite different from our worldly concept of kings and kingdoms. Jesus’ thoughts on leadership include statements such as “whoever wishes to be first among you must become the least.” “The first shall be last and the last shall be first.” He turned the paradigm of hierarchy upside down with visions such as: “the lion shall lie down with the lamb and a little child shall lead them.” In fact being born again and becoming like a little child was a pre-requisite for being a part of his heavenly kingdom.

He said things like… “Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of heaven.” and, “If you do not become as a little child you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” In the parable of the rich young man he spoke of the renunciation of material possessions and even said that it was easier for a camel to go through the “eye of a needle” than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. He made a clear distinction between the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of heaven “you cannot serve two masters…you cannot serve both God and Money.” He commanded his disciples to not carry extra clothes, or a staff (used as a weapon against thieves), or Money when he sent them out in two’s to spread the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.

In any kingdom of man, laws are instituted to protect persons and their property from the hands of selfish and greedy people; mechanical mechanisms to discourage crime. A hierarchy must be established to enforce these laws. Jesus’ remedy to this dilemma was simple: “Do not store up for your selves treasure on earth where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal…” “Observe the birds of the air, they neither sow or reap or gather into barns, but your heavenly father feeds them.”

To the converts from Judaism, the coming of the Messiah marked the end of God’s vertical, hierarchical, second-hand relationship with his people and the beginning of an intimate, personal, first-hand relationship. “The time has come and now is when the true worshipers shall worship God in Spirit and in Truth.” To observers of the Torah he was the fulfillment of the prophesy of Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Hosea.

Jesus brought “God” to the people by calling him ‘Father’ rather than “Lord”. He included humanity in the Godhead when he said “I am the vine and you are the branches…” He put himself on an equal plane with his followers when he said “who is my mother and brother and sister? Those who do the will of my Father.” The apostle Paul said: “We are the body of Christ…”“we are no longer slaves but friends.”

All of the revolutionaries in the history of Judaism spoke of someone coming after them that was greater, from Moses to John the Baptist who said, ‘ I am not even worthy to unloose his sandal straps.’ Jesus as well prophesied of someone coming after him greater than he when he spoke of the “Holy Spirit”. For the followers of the first church an event called “The Pentecost” was the manifestation of this spirit and exemplified the phenomenon of the people experiencing “God” on a horizontal plane which resulted in the formation of an egalitarian community; however this community was corrupted when the apostles elevated themselves above the people and created a hierarchical system.

Temples don’t grow and evolve but bodies and vines never stop. A vine will never grow to the capacity it was designed to reach if it is transplanted and confined to a pot. Its roots will either break thru the structure that contains it or its growth will be stunted and it will eventually shrivel and die. “God” is alive and cannot be contained. “God” cannot inhabit man-made structures without ripping the curtain in two and demolishing it completely not leaving one stone on top of another. King Solomon said, “The heavens, even the highest heavens cannot contain you oh, lord how much less this temple I have built with my own hands.” Just as the vine cannot be contained in the pot, or “God” in the Temple, or Jesus in the Tomb; neither can the Church (The Body of Christ) be contained within a religeo-political hierarchical structure.
“God” is Spirit. “God” is LOVE.

Love cannot be contained within a structure…it is formless and omnipresent and defies space and time…Love is the source of all energy and motion it is the gyrations of the smallest elements revolving around their common denominator to the planets revolving around the sun to the infinity of the universe. God is Love.  Love is the source of all that is. Love is the energy that creates reality. Love is god.

The idea of a stationary god in another realm is a conceptual misnomer. The concept of omnipresence suggests that “God” is everywhere at once, thru all and in all, inhabiting and yet transcending creation. The personification of “God” is merely a metaphor. The feeling of the absence of “Gods” presence is nothing more than a lack of perception and the overwhelming experience of ecstatic and intrancesive worship is a revelation, a heightened sense of awareness of the presence of “God.”

Love is Law…

The law of man is based on the false authority of a system that stands in direct opposition of the perfect order of the cosmos. Love is Law. ” I have not come to remove one dot or tittle from the ‘law’ but I have come to completely abolish the ‘law’. -Jesus H. Christ “The law can be summed up as simply this: Love. Love your neighbor as yourself.” -Jesus H.Christ “You want “law”? Look after the widow and the orphan in their distress.” -Jesus H. Christ Jesus was a poet and a prophet, he was a revolutionary that stood up against the false authority of a ‘god’ that required blood for the remission of sins. He blasphemed their false god that ruled over the mass consciousness of his people. He defied the hierarchical order of the priest-hood, ridiculing their claims of possession over the land and resources, picking heads of grain set aside for the priests. He called them out in the market-place and in their own temples saying “Your father is the Devil!” He turned over the tables of the money-changers saying “You’ve turned my fathers house into a den of thieves.” When Jesus referred to his father’s house, he was speaking of so much more than a temple built by the hands of man. “…the heavens, even the highest heavens cannot contain you oh Lord… how much less this temple that I have built with my own hands.” King Solomon (architect of the temple) When Jesus spoke of the “kingdom of heaven” he was not speaking of a worldly kingdom ruled by the hands of man but rather something so much bigger… He was referring to the perfect order of the Cosmos, the rhythmic gyration of the universe governed by the law of LOVE. When Jesus spoke of his heavenly Father he was speaking of a god much greater than YHWY. Jesus was a poet and a prophet that used parables, and imagery spoke in poetry and figures of speech… he drew pictures in the dirt. Through mis-interpretations of his message and an emphasis on his spilled blood rather than his revolutionary teachings, Paul created another man-made hierarchical system. (See the book of Acts.) The church is an institution based not on the teaching of Jesus H. Christ, but rather a Pharisee named Paul that never walked a mile with the Nazarene Hieratic. Christianity would be more appropriately coined “Paulianity instead. To be a true follower of Jesus is to forsake the mysticism of an ancient fascist blood-cult, the dogma of a false, mechanical system created by men consumed with lust and greed. To be a true follower of Christ is to serve one another in Love… not out of fear, duty, and obligation to any “Lord” or “master” , but in humility to love unconditionally your neighbor as yourself. LOVE IS LAW. The ‘law’ of man is a weapon in the hand of the oppressors to maintain an imbalance that is opposed to the perfect order of the Cosmos.  There can be no true authority without Love. Love is Order. Love is perfect balance, Equality… The Devine recognizes the Divinity in All… The Devine respect the sacred free will of each individual.

The Ruins of the Temple

The problem with the church today is that they are still stuck in the Old Testament. They still believe in a “God” that requires blood for the remission of sins. They still live by law rather than by Love. The revolution that Jesus began was distorted and has come full circle in the form of Christianity.

Through miss-interpretation of his words combined with Paul’s’ desperate and feeble attempts to justify the Law of the Torah with the Revolutionary message of Love that Jesus proclaimed, Christians have created a new temple from the ruins of the old and turned the revolution into a new orthodoxy.

Christianity makes a mockery out of the message of Jesus, emphasizing his spilled blood over his teachings, his name and form over the essence of what he stood for. They replace Love with fear, sacrifice, and obedience. Christianity is self-defeating. It has done nothing but create a replica of the system of mental slavery that Jesus came to destroy. I have a lot more respect for Jesus Christ than to reduce him to a blood sacrifice to appease a wrathful 'god.'

Salvation does not depend on the blood of Jesus any more than it depended on the blood of sheep and goats. Our salvation depends on LOVE and nothing but. If we do not learn to Love unconditionally we will continue to persecute and kill each other in the name of “God.”

It is time for a new revolution. The remnant of the church is awakening from their unconscious allegiance and escaping the institutions of church and state. Soon the vines will wrap around the pillars and tear the temple down. Love calls out in the streets, whoever has ears let them hear, Babylon is falling! Come out of her my people!

The People of The Book.

The people of The Book speak often of heaven but know nothing of the heavens or for that matter even the earth they worship the Law but know nothing of the Spirit. They worship the Word but have forgotten the essence that came before the existence of words. They claim that the Word came before the Light. They claim to possess the knowledge of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ and proclaim their arbitrary law as truth. They build temples to justice but know not what it means. They hide behind walls created by their own hands driven out of the garden by their own fears clutching fig leaves to cover their nakedness…toiling painfully beneath the sun to appease the wrath of a god who requires blood for the remission of sins.

“Your Father is the devil.”

I don’t believe that “God” has a chosen people and I don’t believe that the presence of “God” was ever concentrated enough to fit into a box, or a temple for that matter. I have issues with the hierarchical priesthood concept and refuse to believe that “God” prescribed the slaughter of animals for the remission of sins, or the genocide of gentile tribes. I don’t think anyone had more issues against the religion of the Jews than Jesus Christ himself who gave his life as a ransom to set his people free from this fascist, usurious and oppressive religion. He was an executed martyr, not a sacrificial lamb.

I don’t see “God” as a hierarchical Deity who must be praised and obeyed to incur blessings and dissuade wrath…I believe that “god” is Love. Love does not lord above its beloved but exists in the midst and is one with all that is. The idea of a personified deity existing outside of his creation, an old white man with a long gray beard, sitting on a throne somewhere on a cloud in another realm, ruling over the nations with an iron scepter, is absurd to me and I don’t think Thor, the Greek god of thunder, is what Jesus was envisioning when he made references to his ‘heavenly father’.

The god of the Torah features a blood-thirsty, war-monger bent on control and possession. I believe that “Yahweh” was a myth that was created by a hierarchical regime possessed by greed and the hunger for power…they used this illusion to build their nation and propagate and enforce their fascist Zionistic propaganda. I believe that Yahweh was who Jesus was referring to when he said to the Pharisee’s “Your father is the devil.”

The God of Abel

Who is this god that demands the shedding of blood for the remission of sins? Creation was corrupted when plants, animals, and land became “crops”, “herds” and “property”. Abel was the first shepherd, the first one to break the will of wild sheep and “possess” them as his own as well as the land they grazed upon. Abel was the first man to shed innocent blood. The idea of “ownership” and “property” was the result of the domestication of plants and animals and is the cornerstone of civilization as we know it. Who is this “God” that looked in favor upon Abel’s’ sacrifice of bloodshed and rejected Cain’s sacrifice of the fruits of the earth?
Abel’s sacrifice was the first of many. The barbaric custom evolved into an annual massacre of the first-born of the flock from every household of “God’s” “chosen people”, a requirement for the “remission of sins.” (If the household was not involved in the enterprise of domesticated sheep they could buy one at the temple; for a modest fee I’m sure.) As the lambs throat was slit and the blood drained into a basin and carried thru the temple and into the most holy of holy places behind a curtain that only the high priest could enter and not without a rope tied to his foot in case the “Lord” decided to smite him to death and poured the blood over the horns of the altar, the meat was cooked over an open fire and the priesthood indulged in the choice cuts of the meat according to their rank in the hierarchy and the wrath of the “Lord” was dissuaded because he was pleased with the aroma of the Offertory barbecue.

The domestication of sheep and man went hand in hand as the chosen people were branded and corralled according to their specific tribes to raise their flocks on their allotted territories and defend their folds against predators while eradicating “Gentiles” and nomadic-hunter-gatherer Peoples that inhabited their “Promised Land.” The “Lord” had given them the land and as for the natives, he commanded that the Israelites kill them all (even women and children) and steal all of their stuff. If anyone had the testicular fortitude to speak out against the ways of the “Lord” he was commanded by the “Lord” to be stoned to death immediately by the closest person available for his blasphemy.

The bible is the history of a nation, and like the history of all nations it is one filled with tyranny and bloodshed and generations of brothers slaying brothers for possession and control of land and resources… Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Israel and Ishmael…The Old Testament is full of recorded instances where the “Lord” commanded the mass genocide of “gentile” tribes for the purpose of land acquisition.

Some things never change, unfortunately history repeats itself. It pisses me off when I read the same story in the bible as I do in the USA Today. Now the high priests are politicians and CEO’s writing the commandments and dishing out orders, levying taxes and defending their borders, Allah vs. the dollar, Jihad against the new world order…blood and oil and bricks and mortar.

The people of The Book say it’s got to be this way…prophecy has to be full-filled and they are dutifully reading, memorizing, and reciting the lines of the script and playing their roles in the drama that has been re-enacted over and over again since the beginning of civilization. The “War on Terror” is a continuation of the crusades, a foreshadowing of Armageddon, a re-enactment of the script outlined in the bible…it is written, and we’re acting it out like puppets with Israel, the U.S. government, and the rest of the Illumanati pulling the strings.

If we keep feeding this satanic system with our labor, commerce, tithes and taxes and brainwashing our children to follow this “Holy” script it’s going to be a bad movie.

Fasc/Zion-Ism

Zionism (zi-u-nism)-
1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Jews) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government (Israel: aka: “The Promised Land” and the new promised land, the U.S.A “one nation under GOD” ) headed by a dictatorial leader (YHWHY: aka: “The Lord” or “God”), severe economic and social regimentation (…carried out by a bureaucracy that collects taxes, makes laws, and wages war claiming the divine authority of “The Lord”), and forcible suppression of opposition( as documented profusely in historical texts from Duetoronomy to the USA Today) 2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

The parentheses are mine…the definition is Webster’s…I took the liberty of replacing the word “Fascism” with “Zionism”… I believe they are interchangeable…

Church and State

Church and state are one and the same. Every Nation is essentially a theocracy complete with its “God” and “priesthood” who pass laws and wage war based on the arbitrary authority of the “Knowledge of Good and Evil.”  They claim possession over land and resources enslaving the PEOPLE to serve their arbitrary ends…the slaves fall in line, brainwashed by prideful notions of being chosen….fallen angels deceived by THE MAN who built their towers to the sky and sat on their throne that they placed above the heavens ruling over the nations with an iron scepter writing commandments in stone and proclaiming Thus says the Lord…..they build temples to justice but know not the meaning of the word…

Commerce and Religion

The Jews were the first to unite commerce and religion, the business of sacrificing sheep was the cornerstone of the economy in the middle east where there wasn’t much else going on because they hadn’t discovered oil yet…so the machine ran on blood instead.

In the Jewish culture everything was commoditized from salvation to marriage, it was customary to pay the father of the bride so many head of livestock for the privilege of marrying his daughter. Girls started getting married when they were as young as 13 years old when they were considered a woman and often had very little say in who they married. (If that’s not child prostitution I don’t know what is.) The temple tithe required 10 percent of gross income, a practice that is still used by the Christians. The religion of capitalism started by the Jews still survives and has been preserved and embraced by the Christian church.

It is easy to believe in the system of capitalism when you believe in a god that requires blood for the remission of sins. The “gospel” of the Christian church can be broken down into capitalistic terms and often is. The idea that ‘freedom isn’t free’ and the idea that Love requires a sacrifice are products of the Judeo-Christian mind-set. The notion of ‘Free Love’ is repulsive to the Christian because according to their parochial understanding, freedom and love are completely incompatible…they define love in terms of possession and control and freedom to them is liberation from their ‘sinful’ human nature which is where passion resides and true Love is found.

Order

Cosmos is a Greek word that is translated as ‘Order’. It is used as a synonym for the universe. Nature is composed of perfect balance, a perfect circle…the cycles of seasons, equinoxes, the process of evaporation, pollination… The balance of the food chain…the revolution of the planets around the sun and the moons around the planets…the tides, the magnetic poles … the gyrations of the earth on it’s imaginary axis…Nature is Order.

‘Logos’ is a Greek word that is translated as ‘Word’. Words are used to define the cosmos, an attempt to pin Nature into a corner and strip her down to her least common denominator. Logos was the fruit of the tree of the “Knowledge of Good and Evil.” It is the seed of Law.

Religion

Religion is man-made law that sets it’s throne above the Cosmos and judges ‘good’ and ‘evil’, it is the essence of pride that created the illusion that man is separate from the Cosmos rather than a part of it . It is the lie that man was created to possess and control and rule over the Cosmos. It is a Demonic “Order” that is actually Chaos, the anti-thesis of Order.

The separation of god and man is the cornerstone of religion and the state. The notion that god is up and we are down, god is holy and we are sinful…this paradigm of duality…good and evil, god and the devil, flesh and spirit, leaves man constantly at war within himself. As long as he sees himself as separate from god rather than a parcel of the divine he will be tormented by his dual nature.

Religion is a construct of fear, an invention of men who are afraid of their own shadows, afraid of their own human nature and nature itself. The biggest lie that religion preaches is that our very human nature is sinful and our hearts are evil. When a man is deceived to the point where he does not trust his own judgment, that man is lost in the illusion of separation and can be led like a sheep to the slaughter. His spirit has been broken and his mind rendered weak and pliable, he can easily be manipulated and brainwashed to believing anything.

DREAMS OF A PROPHET.

Haunted by visions in his sleep…glimpses beyond the veil…a prophet dreams in color… like Eziekial he sees the wheel within the wheel of wheels…he writes his nightmare in the candle-light…from the bread and circuses of Rome…wine, women, and song…sing praises to your master…with the dark, militant, shadow of Ceaser looming in the back-ground…pay your penance and your dues or he will exile you into the barren lands like the children of Kaine…from the genocide and enslavement of the Cainanites to the the modern Palastinians the ‘chosen people’ of ‘Isreal’ have been repeating this cycle of violence for too many thousands of years…and my main lament is that the new promised land…Isreals spawn…the United States of Ameria…has fully endorsed this fascist nation and their endevours…even fighting for their statehood…supporting them militarily in their genocide in Iraq and Afganistan…and maintaining their police state in the Gaza strip…Just as Isreal was bought and sold to Egypt and Syria witch made Jeramiah cry, Joel ran crazy from the locusts, and Hosea married and prostitute and wrote a sad song everytime she left him and compared the whole ‘love’ story to Jews trading with Gentiles… Corporations are the new states…the impersonal power structure…The United States of America is an illusion…it always was…it does not in reality exist… but is in actuallity just another blood cult… a silly flock of sheep corralled by their own fears with an evil shephard that tells them what they want to hear…as he leads them sheared and shorn to the slaughter starting with the first-born spot’less blameless sacrifice…the high priest get the choiisest cuts of the meat…and the virgin daughters of Cain are parcels among the officers along with the cloak of the prophet who blasphemed their blood-thirsty god of war…Who is this god who requires blood for the remission of sins and who are you to stand in judgement of me a peace-ful man…what sin is greater than the shedding of blood…Why must you crave the blood of the innocent? The blood of my people crys out from the ground….the machine that subsists on the remnants of organic life…the sludge from the bones of the ancient rulers of the earth…a mechanical virus, an alian perspective that separates the landscape and its inhabitants into ‘crops’, herds, and property and places it’s throne above the earth… endevouring to rule over it with the might of his hands…you do not belong here… I will crush your head with my heel.

Jesus Christ and Karl Marx.

The revolution that he started was diluted by the powers that be, those very same powers that he rebelled against, they adapted his teachings to their will, using the momentum to fullfill their purposes.
When Jesus spoke of his “Father” he was referring to something much more abstract than the Jew’s deified mascot of Zionistic Fascism, the bloodthirsty warmonger described in the Torah…contrastly, he called this YHWY the DEVIL. He said to the devotees of Judiasm, “Your Father is the Devil.” The message Jesus preached was about Love, Peace, and Unity… not division and war-fare. If YHWY was the father of Jesus, the apple fell very far from the tree and rolled down the hill of calvary and fell into the clutches of a Pharisee that turned his philosophy into a mockery. The revolution came full circle and became the new orthadoxy in the form of christianity… emphasizing his spilled blood over his teachings, his death over his life, reducing this man to a mere symbol, an idol,…Pauls letters to the churches were a pathetic attempt by the Jews to justify the murder of Jesus to his followers… Paul started a whole new blood cult using Jesus as a scapegoat… btwn, Paul, Constantine, and King James of England, these puppet masters have created a new race of heirarchy addicted weasels who live their lives in humble submission to a “god” who requires blood for the remission of sins. Living in constant fear of the fires of hell, daily paying their penance for their salvation, praying to their twisted, diluted, plastic technicolor jesus whom they refer to as Lord” (courtesey of King James) (Lord, is an old english term meaning MASTER) Jesus would turn over in his tomb if he knew he was being referred to as “Lord”. The Master/Slave paradym is the very thing that he came to eradicate, he said he came to set the slaves free, LORD is the word that replaced the hebrew YHWY in the old testament…Jesus’s rebellion against YHWY and the regime is what got him killed in the first place.
The blood cult was passed down to the sons of Able and became an Empire. The priesthood was a systematic heirarchy that claimed possession over territory and rescources and defended their ‘rights’ as an entity with force and cohersion, claiming the authority of a “higher Power” above the sun that supposedly possessed the “Knowledge of Good and Evil.” Their system of centralized power was based on the LAW of this GOD that required blood for the remission of sins.

Sheep and Goats.

There are two kinds of people in this world, there are sheep and there are goats. In the beginning there was no distinction between the two. They came from the same animal. The sheep grazed in the meadows and lingered by the flowing streams and became easy prey for the lion who lied in wait for them in the tall grass and the wolves who herded them and cornered them in packs…as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and watched from above…. these predators took from the flock, culling the weakest and leaving the rest to live for another day while the shephard fleeces them all and castrated them and leads them all to the slaughter one by one, starting with the first-born spot-less lamb…the shepherd protects the sheep with his rod and his staff and leads them beside the still waters…slashing and burning the forests in the lowlands so the sheep can graze on the grasses that grow from the disturbed ground…as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and observed from above, the man has the power of fire and the knowledge of good and evil and he uses his power to subdue and destroy. This is how the 2 legged’s dominated the 4 legged’s… they used sticks and stones to make weapons and fire and they dug in the earth for the metals and ores and ruled over the beasts and the feilds…. and the sheep surrendered their free will to the Shephard in return for the promise of safety, comfort and security, he led them beside the still waters to fertile pastures… as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and watched from afar…
I watched as he slit the throat of the first-born and drained the blood into a basin and carried it into his tabernacle and marched up the steps to the center of the tent where he kept the gold that his slaves had dug from the ground and the treasures that he captured from the nomadic tribes wandering in the desert who had long ago been exiled from the land by his fathers…He held the blood above his head and poured it on the horns of the alter that he had built for his god that required blood for the remission of sins. He slew the ancient trees whose spirits spoke to me to build his cities and walls, and temples to his god, my fathers children are held hostage in his camps… the virgins are parceled out among the generals and officers like the plunder and loot and livestock that they steal from our villages and camps…the feet of my children smash the grapes of the wine that they drink. They are a savage people who worship their gold and their riches and claim the authority of a god that requires blood for the remission of sins.

The warriors of the lost tribe of Cain will unite and stand as one army against you. They will restore the rights of the first-born of your Patriarch. Ismeal, whom you abandoned into the desert, the rightful heir of Father Abrahams Kingdom, The first-born son of Abraham, born of a virgin slave, dark and lovely, a prized sheep in her shephards flock…This child, born of his fathers oppression and his mothers submission, was driven into the barren lands with his mother by the jealousy of a barren woman… This lost child from the tribe of Cain, denounced from his fathers blessing, rose up from the ashes of exile, broke the fetters of captivity and led his people, the remnant of the tribe of Cain, in a defensive struggle against the 12 sons of Sarah… We have wandered aimlessly in the desert for too long.
