My “Christian Sermon” for the day will be quite brief.

The story of the prodigal son IS ACTUALLY A PARABLE OF THE STORY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH, and is, potentially, our own story as well. Those that make him divinely inspired from birth have turned his life into a myth, rather than the story of a real life human leader of the movement towards healing Toxic Religion and Toxic Masculinity.

 

Yes, we can all reach towards the divinity within us, and that happens through going through the darkness CONSCIOUSLY, while shedding the prison uniforms of the prevailing philosophical, religious, and political powers of the day. The light that shines after leaving the darkness has many names, though it need not be clothed with more verbal contrivances.

 

It is more than unfortunate that Christianity has created yet another Idol to worship, another ‘golden calf’ to carry around and show off to others, while claiming pseudo-righteousness for themselves. All the while they sacrifice the innocent blood of “non-believers” at their altars of hate and ignorance. There is no acceptable way to have Trump and Christ Consciousness walking hand in hand. One exists at the exclusion of the other, PERIOD.

 

Please, pseudo-Christianity, don’t pray for me, or for those like me. I will accept your prayers only when the real truth finds you in your darkness, and then you will know who really needed your “prayers” all along. Any group of human beings who continue to align themselves with the abomination of a human being that is named Donald Trump need to make dramatic course changes in the direction of their own lives, and their wayward understanding of themselves and their “religion”.

 

Save yourselves, as your superstition, and ignorance, continues to persecute and oppress all others unlike yourself.

 

Wake up, wake up! (Where is Tom Peterson when we need him!?)

 

Please, save yourself

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.
