On the triumph of Evil...

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." - Ayn Rand

"All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Twenty years ago I was studying economics and earnestly seeking to understand the nature of the society I live in. This led me to the work of Robert Prechter on the Elliott Wave Principle which at the time was projecting we were approaching a Grand Supercycle top that for all intents and purposes meant the peak of Western Civilization before a horrendous collapse that would bring a tragic end to the freedom and prosperity the world had been enjoying for so very long.

As I learned the Wave Principle and the behavior of man as a species, I soon realized an implication is that the historical pattern of collective human behavior is manic-depressive in character. What's more, I realized that the underlying source of the mass insanity is unrelenting selfishness. These realizations put me completely at odds with the absurd theories of economics I was learning at the time that maintained the unfettered pursuit of selfish gain without regard to the welfare of others or society as a whole would generate an ideal long-run collective outcome dubbed by economic theorists as "general equilibrium" and "Pareto optimality", i.e., social harmony and maximum happiness for all. Instead, what I came to understand was that the self-centered behavior of individuals, businesses and nations was, in the long-run, resulting in a "Global Bipolar Disorder" and complete mass delusion regarding the future outcome of such misconduct since, in actuality, what was being generated was a Grand Supercycle collapse in the form of the prophetic Apocalypse forewarned about by Jesus Christ.

Seeing the writing on the wall, and inspired by a supernatural revelation from God, I set out to try and stop humanity from destroying itself as was evidently the course being chosen by everyone around me. In so doing, I was subsequently ignored, ridiculed and, at worst, dismissed as insane. No one has valued what I've been seeking to reveal and no one has helped me in trying to save humanity. Thus, this world has pursued its own destruction unfettered by the potentially cataclysmic historical pattern unfolding before everyone's eyes, and all this time I've just been infuriated and perplexed as to why no one gets it.

The simple answer is that no one gets it because everyone is, as I had already ascertained, IRRATIONALLY self-interested and, by definition, believe what they want to believe.

After all, if the Wave Principle is correct, and my accompanying suppositions that this world has fallen into temptation and is literally being delivered into Evil is accurate, then no one is willing to make a personal sacrifice for the greater good of saving those around them by compromising their personal reputation and worldly interests on behalf of humanity's salvation. Apparently this role has been exclusively placed upon my own shoulders whether I like it or not.

And so here we are. Dow 10,000 looks like it will soon be breached as mass mood collapses into the Grand Supercycle crash that could very well take the form of World War Three and still no one seems to get it and/or those who do get it are unwilling to respond in any way that might preserve lives and the free world.

It's all so absolutely ridiculous, you really can't describe what is unfolding in any other manner than the complete insanity of man is now running its inevitable suicidal course because everyone has opted to serve themselves rather than God.

Is there any hope at all?

Let me suggest that maybe it's high time to throw away your self-centered ways and actually try to save the world because any idea that Christ can achieve this objective alone is also completely insane IMHO. After all, I'm no more than you.

Jesus The Heretic

You know....Jesus was a heretic...

From Douglas Lockhart in his book, Jesus The Heretic:

Jesus is by definition a heretic. And this is not to do Jesus an injustice, for in the light of his non-conformist teachings and behaviour, he was without doubt a heretical figure in Jewish eyes. And if he returned today, he would, likewise, be a heretic in the eyes of the Christian Church.

…and I too am a heretic by classical definition. But I also claim to be a ‘natural’ heretic, and mean by this that I’ve always had a tendency to question things, whatever their origin or supposed status. I do not consider this tendency pathological. And neither do I consider my taking a stand against Christianity’s claims for Jesus a spiritual impertinence. In fact, I feel the opposite. I feel, deeply, that Jesus the Nazarene has been done a great disservice by many of those claiming to hold him in high esteem. All I see is a sad-eyed prisoner of the Christian imagination locked inside a paradigm he did not, and would not now, condone. (Lockhart, p.9)

That Jesus gave the Pharisees and Sadducees a hard time cannot be denied, and that he probably gave the Essenes just as hard a time is only just beginning to be realized. This was a man of passionate belief, a man of action, a man who believed himself fully qualified and positioned to challenge the religious leaders of his time…. This was no half-baked revolutionary with a rabble behind him: it was an individual of clear mind and strong heart who wished to inaugurate a revolution on both the religious and social levels of his culture and time. This is what is so attractive about him – one sense the passion in him boiling away as he tries to make his often doltish disciples understand his insights and long-term plans. He is special, and he knows he is special. He can see only too clearly that his religious peers have become bogged down in narrow-minded, nit-picking practices, and as a Galilean with a deep sense of space and freedom he wants to reveal what he has personally found out about God – that He does not live in a box labeled Religion. (Lockhart, p.169)

On the road to God's redemption, 'organized religion' has set up toll booths. Is this legitimate?




Every creature can have a personal relationship with their Creator. Let that be a loving relationship. That is what your Creator longs for and is the key to your salvation IMHO.

Those who are self-important, i.e., those who believe they are more important than their fellow beings, are lost in their quest to know God IMHO. The Golden Rule means to value others as yourself. It's as simple as that and doesn't require a church, or a mosque, or a degree in theology to figure it out.

What's more, God's love for us is ineffable and can't be put into words or any sort of doctrine to be realized through books. Our Creator's meaning is expressed through life. In other words, God's love is not something you read, it is something you live, hence the Authoring of this universe in which we dwell. After all, words aren't alive, you are. So "spiritual authorities", which is a contradiction in terms IMHO, need to get off their high horses, stop worshiping words and start doing God's will FOR REAL....even if this undermines their business model. Otherwise, they are intruding in the relationship between God and man for self-aggrandizement.

The tragedy of the coming Tribulation is that Christ ultimately needs to be saved from "christianity".

From Carter Heyward's Saving Jesus From Those Who Are Right:

Lifting JESUS up above us, giving him an authority over us that he didn't ask for and cannot bear, we miss the point of his life, of our lives, and of the life of God.

Don't be surprised by the human form "Christ" takes. "I Am Who I Am" for the sake of bringing the world together as one in love. (Which is utterly humiliating....by definition since love is not self-important.)

Some clinging to their naive notions of "God" and "Christianity" may find this blog offensive. Well, if my message upsets your "faith", then I dare say your faith is misplaced. The truth is that I've not returned for any sort of exclusive, holier-than-thou group of "believers" like the "700 Club" or Catholics or Mormons or whomever; I'm here to save all of mankind from Evil to the extent possible. For creatures, God's meaning is AGAPE, universal unconditional love, in whatever form that takes at any given point in the Creation. What's more, my role is not subject to your personal approval or popular mandate, even if victory (the meaning of my name) is dependent on your participation in God's mission for us. I was born into this and I will do God's bidding regardless of what I'm supposed to believe or who I'm supposed to be according to others. "The Truth" is irreconcilable with those who want to believe self-important lies. Love is not self-important and neither am I, as contra-dictory as all this may seem.

Let Thy Kingdom come...

On the edge of the abyss...

What we've been witnessing is government intervention to maintain collective faith in the "invisible hand" of money.

When Mammon is no longer the popular god served by man, government will assume that role directly.

Of course, salvation will only be realized when man's faith is truly in God.

In the long-run, freedom only results in social harmony ("general equilibrium") and maximum happiness for all ("Pareto optimality") if people abide by the Golden Rule. This contradicts the false religion of selfishness (read: economic "theory") practiced by homo economicus in modern secular society (see yesterday's episode of NOVA).

IMHO, if love for one another is not the organizing life principle of man, then, in the long run, there is a catastrophic collapse of civilization and what emerges is a totalitarian police state to maintain control.

Is tyranny in the form of a false 'kingdom of god' the way to cure the insane historical cycles of collective sinfulness and sin's consequences?

I personally don't think so.

Maybe Christ was making an important point about social organization.
