VOTE FOR ME !!!

It is not hard for me to imagine horns on the foreheads of professional politicians. People that seek power over the masses, and cling to that power after their usefulness has passed are borderline evil, and will sometimes do evil things to remain in control.

I was born and raised in a city called Cincinnati. It was first called Fort Washington (after George Washington). A decision was made to re-name the city, The name Cincinnati was chosen in honor of a Roman politician named Cincinnatus, who after serving his term in government (though he was very popular) returned to the fields of his farm. President Washington was a great fan of Cincinnatus, and in fact after President Washington served his term in government (though he was very popular) returned to the fields of his farm.

George Washington, as well as the founding fathers of this great country, were statesmen first and politicians secondly. A trait obviously absent in todays politics. today we have professional politicians, people who (it seems) do not know how to do anything else.

We have three such people competing for the office of President of the United States right now…

• Someone who was (with her daughter) pinned down by sniper fire! while on a stately mission. oh but wait! she mis-remembered that. (seems to me, that if I had been shoot at, I would remember the incident clearly (which she did at the time say “I remember clearly”)).

• Someone who can attend church for twenty years, and not know what his minister is saying.

• Someone who is lauded a hero for being held POW for six years. Who while claiming to be a Republican, relishes his working with “the other side” more than his own side (echoes of Stockholm Syndrome?).

Of all the great people in this country, when the call goes out for a leader … this is what bubbles to the top!

Where have all the statesmen gone?

We have (I”m sure) heard it said “choose the lesser of two evils”. However when we do that … we still choose evil.

The solution? … Prayer … pray for our country, pray for our politicians. Be a bright light, after all, evil is the absence of good, where the light shines … darkness must flee.

We live in Hell … It’s our job to rise up out of it.

yours in Gnosis … Daniel.

In January of 2007, I was diagnosed with cancer, and had to endure two major operations (Whipple procedures), both within a weeks time. (the cancer is gone now) I was in the ICU 5 weeks. (dancing with the Reaper). I was in a Catholic hospital. When they asked my religion at “pre-admission”, I said Gnostic. Funny thing … while in the ICU many nuns, priests, and ministers came calling saying “I see you’re agnostic!” … I explained the diff between agnostics and Gnostics, and never saw them again!

But … the experience forced me to come to terms with my own mortality. I accepted the possibilities, and was not afraid.

While I was in there … I had three distinct “out of body experiences”. I don’t think it was a “near death” since I wasn’t told of flat lining or anything (though sometimes I wonder if they would tell me such a thing).

I would meet this other being, androgynous, I couldn’t tell if it was male or female. I remember saying that I wanted to go with him/her, but was turned away, but I would be insistent to the point where it seemed that I was annoying him/her. I was told “you have so much to do”… “you’ve had all this time, and you haven’t done anything”.

One thing though … my visitations with the androgynous being … my memory of the event, would always begin at the end. When we were saying our goodbyes. It’s as though I was given instructions or “let in” on a secret.

The memory would always begin like we were wrapping up a conversation, and I was told it’s time to return … maybe that is why he/she was so annoyed about me pestering him/her to just let me stay. (I did feel an overwhelming sense of love while in it’s presence).”it felt natural to be there”.

(Maybe whatever knowledge was imparted to me (if any) during those visitations, will be revealed to me in snippets of gnosis as the need arises).

Then I can remember thinking “I have to wake up”. it took a great deal of thought to become conscious again, and my brain felt like my arms would feel after doing a bunch of curls with a dumbell.

When returning to my body … it wasn’t like I was hovering over the room or anything … it was all black … with a bright spot in the distance … and as I got closer, I could see that the spot was actually my body … then when I got so close, it felt as if I was on a slide, sliding into my body … then pop! awake!… (with brain burn .. lol)

Point is … I’m not afraid of dying, not anymore, I know there is something beyond.

Since that experience … I feel the calling.

May the best of your yesterdays, be the worst of your tomorrows!… Daniel.

This is the first entry I am making concerning the priestly path … I got the materials last night, and spent some time looking through them. I must say that I am truely looking forward to this … the material was much more than I expected. I am very pleased with the subject matter, and the presentation. This is going to be very satisfying …

After giving the matter a great deal of thought, I’ve Decided to pursue the Priesthood. There is a great need of Gnostic Temples, Gnostic Priests, and Bishops. The Golden Age of Gnosticism is before us.

After practicing ceremonial magic for quite some time. I have come to enjoy the ceremonies and rituals. I understand the need for such things, to awaken the inner being that resides deep inside, to help connect with the universal mind.

Blessed be the Source.

Now … it seems … the next step on my journey to gnosis, is to seek the authority to perform the Sacraments. Maybe, to some, this step along the path might seem to be un-needed, but my studies to this point shows the importance of initiation as a logical step from one level of understanding to the next. Also I seek the knowing that would be imparted by the oral tradition (secret school) of the priesthood (assuming that I am able to find a “knowing Bishop”).

I look forward to posting my sermons here, and readers who are attracted here are encouraged to comment.

My studies have begun to open my eyes, and I can feel the gnosis within reach. As though I am in a dark room, and the door is ajar, and the light is promissing to fill the room … exciting.

It is the children that are used in horror films that creep me out. I like horror films and all, but the kids give me the willies.

Not quite sure why. Maybe it is the innocence lost aspect. The idea that they have not yet had a chance to experience life, and then suddenly they are ghosts or demonic spirits. Like the film “The Sixth Sense” or “The Ring”. Sometimes they do not even have to be dead. Just other worldly beings like the film “The Village of the Damned”.

Or the Exorcist. Which was (at the time of that films release) the scariest film I have ever seen. I can remember walking home from the theater after I saw that one … creepy!

Looking back, that film seems a bit tame by todays standards of film making. But still a classic. I guess that says something about our culture today. It seems that we are becoming de-sensitised regarding the blood and guts. It takes more and more to really shock someone today. Shocking images are everywhere. In the movies, on the nightly news … Slowing down to look at car crashes … reminding us of our own mortality.

Of course, when the next great horror film is produced, I will be among the first to see it (being the fan that I am), and maybe it will have some scary little kid in it … creepy.

The year 2012 is fast approaching. Let us everyone, make sure our affairs are in order by then. There is plenty of time. Pay the bills, become debt free. Besides, it was only by the grace of God that we survived “Y2K” anyway.

Of course I’m being a bit sarcastic. Aside from the astrology angle, nothing will come of the year 2012. Nothing solid anyhow. No rouge planet entering our solar system and passing by so close that it will reek havoc on our gravitational field.

There may be a spiritual shift around that time. But that is for the spiritual beings. I think for the most part, as far as the mundane world is concerned, it will be a non-event. The mundanes will get up, go to work, same as any other day. They do not care much for the extraordinary. They didn’t believe the hype concerning Y2K.

And they were right…

The mundanes will be confident that 2012 will be a year that will come and go, much like the others. And it will… For them.

After all.. the linear nature of that calender dictates that it end somewhere. If not 2012 then another year.

2012 is for us. As Spiritual beings, we should become ready for this magical point in time. To shed the shackles of a mundane world, if just for a season. To cleanse our spirit and begin to become more receptive of the spiritual world. To strive to learn from the guides who have traveled the road before us.

But I am afraid that 2012 will be a non-event for us also. The Demiurge has it’s Archons to keep human beings distracted, so that we might not wake up and see the truth. I wonder what big distraction will occur around the magic day.

However.. maybe we can turn things to our advantage. Reclaim the Mass. Use the power of attraction to effect major change in this world. Start a movement. Use the power of mass prayer, or mass spell work, or mass thought, or whatever fits. We would all need to be in harmony. Time and focus should be the same. The more minds that work in harmony, the higher the chance of success.

I wonder how the Archons of the Demiurge would scramble about, as more and more minds became lucid and began reclaiming that which belongs to them… sparks of life.
