Editor's Note: Although
the crisis
in the Middle East calls out for attention and I will discuss
it shortly, I send out the below article entitled God's Love,
Lucifer's Lies to establish what I believe to be a complete
framework for understanding political and spiritual events moving
forward. Since having written it, I've grown particularly excited
about a new methodology of victory which uses the criminal ruling
elite's own strategy against them, Aikido style and absent malice.
In a radical paper entitled "From
Psyop to Mindwar: The Psychology of Victory," controversial
military psychological operations specialist Lt.
Col. Michael Aquino argues that "Mindwar is the deliberate
aggressive convincing of all participants in a war that we will win
the war." He goes on to remind us that "wars are fought
and won or lost not on the battlefield but in the minds of men."
So I gave it a shot: I decided to imagine and project a situation
in which George Bush and his Masters begin to actually feel what it's
like to lose, not only in Iraq, but here in America and worldwide.
It was easier than I thought, and, quite frankly, it can be expressed
pretty easily in a couple of headlines: Bush Administration Continues
to Lose Credibility, Investigations Reveal Criminal Activities, Trial
Date Set, Bush and Cheney Flee Washington, Citizens and FBI Agents
Arrest Entire Bush Cabinet at Border.
What this strategy requires most is the confidence of the people that
We are in fact powerful enough to set the agenda for our country and
our planet. At the very least we must allow ourselves to believe in
the possibility, and in so doing, work towards its realization.
Some folks have suggested that until we stop participating in the
commercial activities that undergird the current militaristic adventures,
there will be no solution, but that assertion lacks imagination and
a compassionate, careful unwinding of the serpent from around our
necks. It is axiomatic to the continuing health of the planet and
its people that we move to a 100% renewable and clean energy future
based on organic agriculture, green architecture and equitable social
arrangements that recreate a Sacred Commons. However, one can also
see that on the way there, fairly negotiated prices could be paid
between dignified and cooperative leaders for access to resources
pending the necessary reconfiguration of our economy towards bioregional,
localized economic activity and a reduced technological and industrial
footprint. This would of course be a cheaper and certainly more diplomatic
method of global engagement than militarized theft.
God's
Love, Lucifer's Lies
- An Explanation of Earth's Troubles.
by
Leland Lehrman, leland.lehrman@gmail.com
The information age has spawned a uniquely modern disease - information
overload - the symptoms of which are distraction, uncertainty and
lack of political motivation. And despite the difficulties this disease
causes the well-intentioned, we must return again and again to the
search for truth and understanding. For only a deep understanding
of the nature of our world's illness will enable permanent redemptive
and healing action. As I scour news reports, probe historical documents,
and search time with my inner eye, I constantly sift facts, data and
theories regarding the devastation of the human spirit, Mother Earth
and God's Creation.
Most explanations of history fall into one of four categories: the
accidental, the ideological, the organizational, and the conspiratorial.
The first two are taught in school and hold that history is largely
the combination of accidental events with ideological trends. The
organizational view of history, the realm of politics and the news
media, asserts that current events are the result of religious, racial,
or national organizations acting in their own interest. The conspiratorial
view of history is the controversial one, wherein "accredited"
conspiracy theorists such as intelligence agencies and official investigative
bodies create legends to cover their own privatised conspiratorial
crimes, while geniuses, noblemen and madmen risk all to penetrate
the veil of secrecy and deception upon which the edifice of the "established
order," old and new, rests.
The journey from the childlike worldview of eighth grade history
textbooks to a deep understanding of the interaction between God and
Lucifer on Earth is painful in the extreme. Even the smallest step
off the path of respectful obedience to authority - such as the recognition
that Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone Communist assassin - takes more
guts than many people have. Recognizing the civic responsibility that
emerges from an understanding of the corruption of authority is anathema
to the modern citizen of convenience.
And herein lies the central conflict that underlies all of humanity's
problems. Lucifer binds us with the faithless need for convenience
and creature comfort. In the famous devil's bargain, Lucifer offers
material gain and worldly power in exchange for demonic obedience.
In contrast, God's love requires faith, and although it promises a
bountiful life, it will not abide the evil of excess.
Lucifer's leadership strategy is dangerously close to successfully
destroying Earth. Most citizens are bound to his material gain ideology
without really knowing it and without having to commit visible sins.
Their economic and political contribution is limited to a "compartmented"
role within the military industrial complex and the consumer society
that makes it possible. These citizens perform the duties of their
job and inflict casualties only at a distance. As people rise in society,
they must become ever more willing to consciously serve injustice
in order to "prosper." Lucifer's trap, the search for wealth
and the fear of want, forces the agnostic into ever more evil choices.
Some finally arrive at the "top," fleecing Enron pension
funds and arresting grieving victims like Cindy Sheehan because Lucifer
requires it. What most people cannot acknowledge, but which has become
painfully clear to me, is that above this level, you find active collaborators
with Lucifer, truly demonic beings who laugh when begged for mercy
and kill without conscience.
The world is now ruled, and nearly openly so, by this class of archdemons.
They come in every skin color, every nationality and every religion.
Certainly some demonic organizations have more power than others,
but a dispassionate analysis of the anatomy of immorality demonstrates
that there is no corner of humanity untouched by Lucifer.
Well-meaning citizens constantly search for truth in the context
of either ideology or organizational structure, assuming they will
find some nationalist, religious or materialistic explanation for
the inexorable progress of hell on Earth. Sophisticates scoff at the
idea of evil; Lucifer is sometimes revered by the New Age. But, after
peeling away the layers of Islamic "terrorists", Christian
"fundamentalists," Jewish "supremacists," international
bankers, Freemasonic secret societies, guns and drugs mafiosi, mind
control manipulators, and satanic cults, I find that I have been looking
in the wrong direction: at Lucifer's illusions and away from him.
Perhaps I avoid looking into Lucifer's eyes because when I do, I
see myself. Fortunately, when I look into God's eyes, I also see myself.
When I look a little deeper, I see you too.

Bixby - Oshara Village
Energy costs are skyrocketing. Current models of suburban sprawl
are broken and result in feelings of disconnectedness and traffic
jams. The philosophy of the rugged individualist has left him isolated
in the desert with an empty gas tank and no friends. There must be
a more sustainable approach to housing and neighborhood design.
Now there is. Oshara Village,
located next to the Santa Fe Community
College, features such sustainable features as 100% waste water
recycling, 50% open space, bus service and passive solar architecture.
Oshara Village offers a lifestyle of reduced dependence on the car
and increased interdependence with neighbors through the integration
of homes, workplaces and shopping in a high-density, mixed-use, walkable
neighborhood. Oshara's architecturally diverse housing styles will
include townhomes, live/work lofts, single family homes and luxury
'estates'.
Oshara Village was fully approved by the Board of County Commisioners
on June 14, 2005. Preliminary floor plans and pricing are available
now. Groundbreaking projected on roads and infrastructure is slated
for July. For more information call Tai
Bixby at 505-577-3524 or email tai@osharavillage.com
.
By the way, if you know someone who would be interested in Oshara
Village or someone who is simply thinking of buying or selling a home,
Tai would like to help them. Tai provides high quality residential
and commercial real estate service to individuals and businesses throughout
Santa Fe County. Feel free to pass on Tai's contact info or if you
can provide contact information, he will be happy to follow up.
