ABOUT THAT CLOCK
And how is Unternehmen Seelöwe today?  And they slimed, oh what did they slime, they slimed so much and all of it has been dissected and no-one has paid the faintest attention, and as they took us back to a pre-democratic, pre-scientific world of masters and slaves, feudal overlords who brook no challenge and serfs, took us back in the case of UCH to the forest floor where governing the affairs of smaller monkeys needs no necessity of engaging in speech, to a world where the supposed ravings of the Great Alpha Baboon in the Sky over-rule all fact, reason, morality, they slimed, “You can’t put the clock back.”   And they smashed education, smashed the threat posed by literacy, learning and knowledge, though they really needn’t have bothered since the mad depraved filth they spawn are impervious to language, fact, reason.  And doubtless as they threw me back into the Dark Ages, into a world in which a woman’s body is property and a woman’s mind is a joke,  as they overthrew democracy, as they abandoned medical ethics, they slimed, “You can’t put the clock back.” And I argued, and I presented meticulously researched fact and reason to evil and naturally that achieved nothing at all, and they refused point-blank to back the C21st and with unswerving unyielding evil backed their filthy corrupt fascist mediaeval world ruled by brute force, dismissing fact, reason, morality, democracy out of hand, didn’t you, Linch, Naylor, Goldstone, you vile, filthy, depraved, degraded grotesque little men.   And I am supposed to be the freak for not resided in your filthy corrupt evil mediaeval world, your dirty animal world, pervert, sick, sexually diseased old men, who think a woman a punchbag for their inadequacy, a freak speaking for no-one but myself, when I represent every woman who has ever read a book on goddess, every woman who has ever read more widely than a dozen devotional works and textbooks on medicine or nursing, or just every woman who thinks she might be a pilot or a bus-driver or a postie or a philosopher, who thinks she chooses with whom she makes loves, who thinks she chooses what she wears.  And of course there is nothing the depraved old freaks hate more than the existence of that inside people which is alive and can grow, that people are not helpless, nothing without ‘God’, meaning nothing without them, nothing they hate more than honour, integrity, principle, these depraved sickening old apes, people must be nothing, worthless, tools of their purpose to be filled with their Troof. 

And of course they claimed they wanted England diverse and multi-cultural and England became diverse and multi-cultural, you don’t find anyone getting angry about the tai-chi classes or the pagan moots, Hinduphobia is not rife nor are Royal Commissions set up about hostility to Sikhs, mostly England is happy with anyone living in the C21st, but of course a diverse and multi-cultural England was the last thing they wanted, they wanted an England in the Dark Ages.  And of course as has been said anyone who thinks the religiously supremacist Roman Catholic Church has any place here is by definition out of it.  Some people loved Father De Mello:
Father de Mello stands as an example to follow for any integral Church that may emerge in the future and will more likely than not serve as a referent symbol in additional attempts to assist the Roman Catholic Church become a more contemporarily useful, integral “Conveyor Belt.”
I believe that Father Anthony de Mello, SJ also stands next to other important pioneers behind the emerging fertile integration connecting East and West wisdom traditions. I think that his works also stand in line (in their own subtle and profound ways) with an emerging Integral Catholicism contributed by Catholic creatives such as Trappist monk Thomas Merton, Fr. Thomas Keating O.C.S.O., and Fr. Thomas Berry C.P. It’s the way of the future: Out with prejudiced rigidity; in with embrace through an integrally expressed love!
In my view de Mello’s sufi-like, paradoxical short stories are superb. They are deceptively simple and yet perhaps as inspiring as Kahlil Gibran’s and as touching as the stories about Mullah Najrudin. Perhaps a pre-established 2nd Tier sensibility would be required to seek them out without being prompted by the advertising given to other more popular and somewhat similar, spiritually-inspiring authors. I recommend you to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_de_Mello where you’ll find a fine list of these works. However, the question I’ll attempt to inquire about in this essay is, what may have inspired Anthony de Mello’s mold-braking, practical-spiritual life?

 Others not:
This past summer was one of the more depressing I can remember, and it had nothing to do with El Nino. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) was busy tightening up and closing down. First came the extension of "almost-infallible" to disputed questions like women's ordination and Anglican orders. Then, by means of a procedural ruling, came the effective nullification of the teaching power of regional and national bishops' conferences - and more depressing still, the acquiescence of the bishops in the status of office boy. After a brief run, it seems that episcopal collegiality has now been relegated to the department of obsolescent terms in the holy Roman church.
The final blow came on August 23 with a CDF "notification" that the writings of Father Anthony de Mello have been examined and in part found wanting - "incompatible with the Catholic faith" and a cause of "grave harm." As one Jesuit wag put it, going after de Mello, the very popular Indian Jesuit retreat master who died suddenly of a heart attack at age fifty-six in 1987, is a little like condemning Dr. Seuss..

There is no salvation outside the Church. I cannot imagine why I doubt this interesting perspective is vigorously shared in all those cosy little chats between persons of faith, with particular reference to the very specific terms in which the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly known as the Inquisition and headed by a certain Herr Ratzinger) condemned (in 2001, not a long time ago, or anything) the work of Father Jacques Dupuis. People say some Muslims are brain-washed, but few can be as brain-washed as fruitcake politicians who think Rome should represent the modern Christian world.

The notification is summarized below. The original is here. I have a really good time in the Vatican archives. Scholarly, you know. The Feb. 26 Vatican censure, known as a "notification," came from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The notification lauds Dupuis for raising new questions and for his "attempt to remain within the limit of orthodoxy." Nevertheless, it cites "notable ambiguities or difficulties" in the book, and lists several points that theologians must uphold. Those points are: • Jesus Christ is the "sole and universal mediator of salvation for all humanity"; • The revelation offered in Jesus offers everything necessary for salvation and has no need of completion by other religions; • Elements of truth in other religions derive from Jesus; • The Word of God and the Holy Spirit are not agents of salvation apart from Jesus Christ; • Different religions are not ways of salvation complementary to the Catholic church; • Followers of other religions are called to be part of the Catholic church; • In themselves, other religions are not means of salvation because they "contain omissions, insufficiencies and errors." Theologian Dupuis says he’s free at last – John L Allen Jr, National Catholic Reporter, March 9th 2001

And they reduced Christianity to a fascist cult and made love to Islam, well they did that 2000 years ago, the first bit if not the second, but something happened which was not in the plan, something incomprehensible to them, not me, not Prof Cox, not Prof Dawkins, not any one individual, not even an alien spacecraft or a hyperspace bypass; England was supposed to meekly be guided by priests and politicians and England simply walked away and got on with its yoga. Barely a day passes when you do not log on and look at the feed on MSN and find some listing about yoga.  And something else happened, though there were other factors here, weren’t there, comrades, when you vaunt the supremacy of non-reason, you expect fact and reason to be ignored if they do not accord with your Troof, you tell people it’s good to ignore fact and reason, they’re morally superior if they ignore fact and reason, virtue lies in faith, in believing something for which there is no evidence whatever, if you actively condemn atheists and insist Truth is what you say it is, for which there is no evidence whatever, truth is actually centuries of invention by mad old men, then instead of becoming good little religious people people thought hey it’s cool to abandon dismiss disparage what they call fact and reason and welcome to our wonderful post-truth society. NASA isn’t going anywhere but the proportion of people ready to believe the moon-landings were a fraud probably is.  Religion is a straight statement it is morally and intellectually better to believe that for which there is no evidence.  The more devout the believer, the more he or she is a mess inside.   If you believe all Truth is contained in a single book, how can you have any sane criterion for what is a fact.

I should imagine that all the mainstream Christian churches successfully appalled a good number of a not particularly observant but definitely benignly disposed flock when they cuddled up to Islam.  Just so showed what you really are, didn’t you, guys.  Belief is what matters, not thought, women and gays are completely secondary to anything that matters, who cares about freedom when religion is at stake.
 
There are two assumptions reasonably made about those from Eire.  One is they know England is a Protestant country.  The other is that they had a Catholic education. Any time they want to tell everyone what they think is Christian about any of this.  It is of course not any genuine version of Christianity, it is the Faith, a corrupt deviation that hides behind Jesus. 

The sovereign liberty of the individual, the sovereign will of the people, so passe, so yesterday, and what replaces them, ideas dated in 1215.  That of course is the biggest joke of all.

Abuses by King John caused a revolt by nobles who compelled him to execute this
recognition of rights for both noblemen and ordinary Englishmen. It established the principle that no one, including the king or a lawmaker, is above the law.

Whoever the fuck you are, you are not free to conspire to pervert the course of justice, overthrow democracy, give aid and comfort to the Queen’s enemies, cause grievous bodily harm, suppress material fact, attempt the physical and mental destruction of a fellow citizen.
"What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?" If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system.
Just answer the fucking questions.
Surrounded by a lot of freaks living in the land that time forgot and there’s supposed to be something wrong with me?  I took a Grade 5 job as a PA and a criminal rabble of Pol Pot vermin made me do heavy manual work and threatened my spinal fusion, causing me back pain for the first time since my surgery 30 years previously, and my body is thrown them, I am crippled by the absolute evil of the refusal to act, and 20 years later I am a bent deformed old cripple with every man’s hand against me, democracy is established as a fucking joke, accountability and transparency are regarded as absurd, fact and reason and morality are totally disregarded by joke-academics, and there’s supposed to be something wrong with me? Sick, sick, sick, repulsive sick animals.   Left to be destroyed by the fucking mad, unreachably mad.  There must be psychiatric tests they should undergo. Oh how the sordid, filthy cockroaches hate intelligence. As long at you can dribble your sick shit to each other out of the reach of question, you’re safe.
 
The initial episode [of Wonders of the Universe] gained viewing figures of 6 million people when it was first shown on the BBC, and it was the first BBC factual show to top the iTunes chart.[2]
I think that has to mean 6 m sets were tuned in; no-one can know how many people were in front of each set. X thousand more would have caught up with it on i-player, legally or illegally;  I know it became necessary to have a licence to watch i-player but I can’t be bothered to check when.  So a minimum of 6 m individual human beings and a max of what 18 m, viewed. And believe it, fucktards, they didn’t all sit restraining themselves from smashing the screen and hissing is evil, is against God.
And you were told and told and told again, you were told nicely and reasonably and less nicely and reasonably and you are just sick evil filth, vomit, vermin.
 
Paine also wrote: 'My own mind is my own church.'

I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life.

I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

But, lest it should be supposed that I believe in many other things in addition to these, I shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things I do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.

I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.

British citizens have gone in the direction of Tom Paine. British politicians are headed off in the opposite direction, courting figures from religious establishments who by definition adhere to a dead orthodoxy, about which no-one besides fellow-dinosaurs gives a damn.


They really do not like non-dualism at all
HELL, OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING "The firesof hell are the Light of God as perceivedby those who reject it." (St Catherine of Genoa)I haven't been able to trace this on-line. I noted it down somewhere in my complex intellectual past. Please contact me if you know the source, or for that matter if you think it a shoddy translation.It can be argued (means I'm going to argue it) that the various mythologies of the after-life put in what Susan Howatch in her delicious saga of the Church of England in the twentieth century calls 'old-fashioned picture-language' the proposition that after death you simply continue to be what you have chosen to be in life, only you're no longer able to change your mind, to attempt to make it comprehensible to the multitude.By doing so these mythologies introduce 'doer' and 'done-to' and so corrupt what simply is.God does not damn you. You damn yourself. Classic Catholic theology holds that right up to the moment of death onemay repent and save oneself from hell, no matter how numerous one's sins, how vile one's existence.This is of course arbitrary and one may demand what change of state means that one may no longer choose afterdeath;one ofthe ground-ruleshereisthat alivesoulhas freewilland adead souldoes not.If we return now to the inscription over the Gates of Hell in the Inferno Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:fecemi la divina podestate,la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.Justice moved my high maker DivinepowermademeTheprofoundestwisdomandthefirstlove.Right,soGodsatthereandthought ah-hah! Justice, wisdom and love demand I create a place of ever-lasting torment. It only makes sense within its own frame of reference, that of continued existence after death, in terms of the supremacy of humanchoice. Suppose you are a racist and something that others find delightful, tender, good and even holy, a mixed-race couple evidently besotted with each other, for instance, makes your skin crawl. That is your choice and an eternity surrounded by mixed-race couples besotted with each other would constituteeternaltorment.No-oneisdoinganythingtoyou.No-oneispayingtheslightestattentionto you.Youexperiencewhat isas scourgingby demons,gnawingby Cerberus,fiery rain,you name it, all metaphors for your crawling skin and screamingmind. I sent my Soul through the Invisible,Some letter of that After-life to spell:And by and by my Soul return’d to me,And answer’d “I Myself am Heav’n and Hell :”Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.Luke 17 The Vedas are the sacred scriptures of Hindus and the Upanishads are the culmination of the Vedic
search for Truth or Reality. The Upanishads reveal the ultimate experience of God in which a person candeclare‘’Iam Brahman,"or"IamGod,"whichisdescribedasnondualistic(advaita)experienceor ontological nonduality. TheVedic tradition reveals a progressive growth of divine-human relationship in four stages:relationship through poetry (Samhithas), relationship through ritual or sacrifices (brahmanas),relationship through meditations in the forest (aranyakas) and finally self-realization (Upanishads).The Upanishads speak of four levels of consciousness, which again show the progressive growth in divine-human relationship: waking consciousness, dreaming consciousness, deep sleep consciousness and the thuriya, which means the fourth. In waking consciousness one identifies with one’s physical body and lives to satisfy one’s physical desires and ambitions. In the dreaming consciousness one identifies with ideals and ideal persons taken from the past or memory and tries to follow and imitatethem. Here a person might say I am a Hindu, Christian, and Muslim etc. In the deep sleep one is freed from the personal and collective ideals and ideal persons of the past (time) and enters into the realm of originalityand creativity (eternity) and becomes an original and creative person and is able to say, "I am." In the thuriya or the fourth state, one realizes one’s identity with God and says "I am Brahman." The utterance,"I am Brahman," may appear to be a statement of spiritual arrogance but in reality it is an experience of profound humility. In this state, only Brahman remains. To say that "I am God" does not mean that a human being becomes God but affirms that God is the only Reality. There are four or five mahavakyas connected to this ultimate experience: I am Brahman (ahambrahmasmi), you are that-Brahman(tatvamasi), Atman is Brahman (ayatmanbrahma), all this is Brahman (sarvametatbrahma) and Brahman is nondual (prajnanambrahma). These mahavakhyas are different ways of expressing the same advaitic experience. The Vedas should not be seen as systematic treatises of philosophy but as a collection of thevarious philosophical discoveries and experiences of the seekers of Truth or God.

Sufism (mysticism): Haraam or Halaal? OK.nowthatwhichIwrotepreviously,namelythatthenuminouscanneitherbeviolatednorviolateis true for how shall I put it, normal and non-fictional life. That the fires of hell are the light of God as perceived by those who reject itis the root of my fictional 'The Light burns them' in which individuals able to project the Light make evil individuals feel unpleasant. It is also of course that depicted dramatically in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Nazis are shrivelled by the Light from theArk.
 
But the score is clear.  Politicians across the board, the security services, are only interested in backing dragging the country back to the fucking Middle Ages.  Any fascist psychopathic ignorant freak, any traitor, any animal is precious and not to be perturbed, any piece of 40-carat filth.   I don’t know what’s going to happen to me, but I am bloody sure it won’t go.
