[Caldwell, Taylor.  Dialogues With The Devil.  New York:  Doubleday & Co., 1967. pp 57-61.]  Please see Taylor Caldwell’s Dialogues With The Devil (1967) #1 of 22 for an introduction to this serialization.

GREETINGS to my brother, Michael, who believes that he has circumvented me on his new worlds:

No doubt you heard my laughter when I read your letter.  Do not be complacent.  Damon and Lilith will make their appearances on Pandara in due course, if not to this generation there, then to their sons and daughters.  For though this generation may tell their children of what they know, and of what they have seen, and what they have learned, it is in the nature of men to say, “Our parents love legends and tales and strangenesses, but we have not seen the Archangel Michael with our own eyes, nor have wondered at his countenance.  Our parents tell us that it was the will of God that he appeared only to our forefathers, but not to us, and that is most peculiar, indeed, for are we not more sophisticated than our fathers, and our daughters more knowledgeable than their mothers?  Do we not dwell in cities, whereas they dwelt in the fields and the forests?  Have we not learning and understanding, greater than our forebears?  Do we not have magnificent temples of wisdom, and do we not stream through the heavens like birds and through the waters like fish, and is there aught we do not know of this world of ours, or are there wonders as yet undiscovered?  Are we, then, not wise and therefore more worthy to gaze upon this Archangel Michael, and would we not apprehend his words with more clarity and more subtlety?  Why this coyness, that he hides from us–if he exists at all?  It is folly.  There is no such an archangel, and therefore what our parents have told us has no verity.”

You have heard thoughts like these on innumerable planets, among the worldly children of men who believe they have conquered all things and are capable of comprehending everything.  That is my opportunity.  For though the generations of Pandara may not yet have fallen, pride in their accomplishments will spur that fall, and pride in their own will will assure their destruction.  I will not only send them Damon and Lilith, and say to them, “Do not deny your natural appetites, for all appetite is good, for is it not your nature?” but I will say, “Your parents were simple and mere children in their souls, and had no real will of their own for they were enamored of a fantasy.  Have you not failed to discern the reality of Michael in your scientific instruments, and have you found God, of whom your parents speak, in the watches of the night or in your affairs?  If there is an angel at all, it is in your capacities, and if there is a God, you are that god, and you must deify yourselves for naught exists in those gigantic universes you catch in your mirrors but your own being.  You are the center, the heart, of all mindless creation, and only you have sentience.  If you doubt me, show me the proof to the contrary.”

That is an argument few men have ever disputed, for the proofs of your existence, and the Existence of Our Father, lie not in the grosser matter but in the towers of the soul.  But they will know that I exist!  For I will give them delights and conceits and arrogances, and the ecstasy of defying the laws of their fathers, which were the Laws God gave to them.  Nothing so exalts a man as rebellion, as we have remarked before, and nothing increases his vanity so much as coming to a wrong conclusion, which he believes is correct.  Assure a man that he is wise and knows all things, and that only he exists, and there is no end to his exultant rapture.  Even when the men of Pandara become so suddenly aware of the fact that in some strange way death and disease and age and loss have come among them–when once they were absent–they will say, “But this is the inevitable course of nature, and was to be expected!  There is a time for living and a time for dying, and always it was so, though we have not known it before.”  You will understand that men have explanations for everything, and the more absurd the more they are accepted.  When they discover that the incorruptible has put on corruptibility, the immaculate has become stained, the eternal has become mortal, they will nod their heads solemnly and say, “It is natural–we just had not lived long enough, but time is inexorable.  Let us, then, devote our lives to the search for happiness and for personal fulfillment, and not dream as our forebears dreamt, but be courageous men who live that we may die and strive while we can.”

They will see my face in their own and will adore me, for am I not the reverie of men, even those not yet fallen?

Why do men prefer to believe there is no God?  Is there a fatal flaw even in the unfallen, as it was in me and my angels?  You will say that there is, indeed, that “flaw” and you will repeat that it is free will.  Nonetheless, men prefer to believe there is no God.  God restrains and all chaff at virtue and constraint and the necessity to obey and love. . . . Once God is removed from the belief of men, then they can truly live as they believe the gods live:  Enjoying existence, relieved of duty and responsibility, delighting in each hour, acquiring their miserable riches as they will, disobeying even good laws, exulting in violence and bloodshed, exercising power over their fellows–and always for their fellows’ own good, you will observe–and committing all vileness in the serene conviction that there is no good and no evil, but only a man’s desire and a man’s needs.  Above all, there is no accounting, for the One who accounts does not exist.  So man, they will conclude, is truly free to “live according to his innate nature.”  All their wars will be holy, all their excesses but an exaggeration of good, all their errors correctable through new laws which they will profusely pass, and all their hatreds righteous.  But still there is the inborn, the endowed, craving for perfection, and they will say that man is perfectable.

So they will strive for perfection, which is beyond their earning, and they will seek for merit among the applause of men like themselves, rather than in the smiles of God.  They will chase up the mountains of their lives for perfectability, and always there will be the descent on the torrid opposite side, but again they will climb with their banners and their slogans, and always they will fall.  They cannot resist the desire for true perfection with which God sadly endowed them–and He cannot withdraw His gift, but they will distort it and in seeking they will never find.

Despair will sit at their right hand and death will dine with them, and decay and grief will be their bed, and sorrow their song, and all that which their darkened souls desired with a hunger that comes from God will never be their own.

And they will descend to me, and will ask again that disgusting question, “If you exist, then God must exist also?”  And I will reply as ever, “It does not follow.  I am the god you made, and you are mine.”

Will the Sacrifice on Terra save these men also?  You continually refuse to answer that question, but my curiosity grows with the refusal.  In the meantime my hells fatten with the hosts of the damned–who willed their own damnation.

I do not know why I hover so often over Terra, where the immortal Crime was committed–and to what purpose?  I watch my legions of demons at work, and I smile at their industry.  They hope by pleasing me that I will grant them death and oblivion.  You will see that they have much more faith in me than they ever had in God.

Terra is doomed.  I watch the progress to annihilation with the only pleasure of which I am capable.  Then the memory of the Sacrifice will be obliterated, and there will be no remembrance at all in men, not even of the myth which they declare it is.  I will be vindicated, even before His Eyes.  He will be forced to admit that I was right and He was wrong.  In His second death on Terra the first will be lost, and all men will be mine, even to the farthest planet.

There will be the peace of nothingness, thereafter, and is that not to be desired?

Your brother, Lucifer

GREETINGS to my brother, Lucifer . . .

We are excessively pleased that you have informed us that you will send Damon to Pandara, to seduce her six women. . . .

. . . we have taken precautions against Damon and Lilith.  Unfortunately, we had to introduce suspicion into that vast paradise.  We should have preferred that entire innocence prevail, but one remembers that Our Father set, in the midst of Eden, a Forbidden Tree.  Suspicion, entering into Pandara, will awaken the power of free will, and a healthy mistrust.

. . . I appeared to the wives of Pandara, the innocent treasures!–and informed them that they were with child, which pleased them mightily.  However, I mourned . . . A beautiful female demon, one Lilith, who destroyed the souls of millions upon millions of other men, would soon enter the azure light of their planet to seduce their husbands and lead their husbands into unspeakable pleasures and lust, thus insuring that for a time, at least, those husbands would forget their wives and abandon their little nestlings.  The husbands would romp with Lilith, neglectful of the duties of hearth, home and bed and field, and they would love her with madness and be so smitten of her charms that they would regard their wives with distaste and possibly revulsion.  Worse still, the harvests would be neglected, the cattle unfed, the roofs unsealed . . .

A woman may forgive her husband a romp in the shadowy forests, but she will not forgive him the sufferings of her children, nor will she forgive the great insult to her own beauty and desirability.  The ladies said to me, “Is this Lilith fairer than I?”  And I replied, “Assuredly, she is the fairest of women, for all she is a demon, and are not maddening women demons?  Though you are lovely to behold, my little ones, Lilith in contrast will cast a dust of ugliness upon you in your husbands’ eyes.  But above all, she will shatter the peace and joy of your planet, and bring age upon your faces, and wrinkles, and dim the green fire of your eyes, and she will bring death upon your children and disease and storms and darkness and furies.”

“What, then, shall we do, to preserve our planet, our homes, our youth, and our life and our children?” the ladies implored me.

“Ah,” I told them, “men are susceptible to ladies of no virtue and no matronly attributes!  They are like adorable children, wanton at heart but in need of protection, and the careful supervision of alerted wives.  They will stretch forth their hands for the flying hair of a woman of no sturdy consequence, and they will dance with her in the moonlight and garland her head with flowers and press their cheeks against her breast, and drink of wine deeply with her.  She will laugh, and sing and play, and a wise matron understands how these things can lure men from their duties.  She will becloud the minds of your husbands so that they will think of pleasure and not the granaries, laughter in the sun and not of weak roofs, roses in the glades and not of wool to be sheared.  There is a certain weakness in men that inclines them to frivolity and dallying, and Lilith will exploit that weakness and entice your husbands from your sides. . . .

“We will be watchful, O, Lord Michael!” the wives promised me . . . is this not better than death and sin and age and disease and sorrow, not to mention the harsh tongues of betrayed wives?  I have observed that men can endure great hardships and adversities with considerable calm, but they cannot endure for long the smite of a woman’s less affectionate remarks, and her acid conversation at midnight when they would prefer to sleep. . . .

I then repaired to the husbands of Pandara, and when they had risen from their knees at my consent, I said to them, “Glorious is your planet, beloved sons of God, my dear brothers, and fair are her skies and rich are her fields and splendid will be your cities.  Handsome are your faces and strong are the rosy muscles of your arms, and your wives rejoice in you.”

“It is so, Lord!” they cried in jubilation, and I smiled at the happiness in their eyes and loved them dearly for the male spirit is a little less complicated than the female and somewhat more naive.  It has an innocence, even in paradise, beyond the innocence of women who, even in paradise, are given to reflection, and are less trusting.

“But alas,” I said to the boys, “your joy is threatened, for you have free will, as you know, and alas again, so do your wives. . . . Men are often slave to habit, virtuous or unvirtuous, but women have few habits at all and so are easily led astray into novelties.  Your wives, though with child, will not always be with child.  They will have moments of leisure.  While leisure for a man is a quiet resting or an innocent pastime or a running after balls or a climbing of trees for the fruit, or just sleeping, leisure for a woman is the veriest temptation. . . . Have you not already discovered this for yourselves?”

. . .

“Your wives will all have dreams very soon,” I told them, “and none of them will be virtuous.  None of them will be concerned for the husband who labors in the fields and the forests and who tends cattle and returns dutifully home to his children and sits soberly on his hearth.  On the contrary!  They will be dreams which I hesitate to speak of, for women’s minds are somewhat less decorous and guileless than men’s, even on Pandara.  The indelicacy of a woman’s thoughts would bring a flame to the cheek of even the burliest man.  You have observed that nature is not always delicate?”

. . .

“And women are far closer to nature than are you, for all you labor in the fields and the forests.  There is a certain earthiness in women which is sometimes an embarrassment to husbands, a certain lustiness of the flesh that is not always easily satisfied.  If I am incorrect, I beg your forgiveness.”

“You are correct, Lord,” said the simple ones.

. . . “For unto your wives there will be sent from the very depths of hell an evil but most beautiful male demon, one Damon.  I know him well!  He has seduced endless millions of women on other planets, as fair and as matronly as your own, and as busy–with dreams.  He is full of novelties and enticements, and adores women and finds them overwhelmingly fascinating–which you not always do.  Their conversation never wearies him; he is attentive and glorious.  As he never labors, except to do mischief, he is not weary at sundown, as you are weary.  As he is a demon and not a man, he does not sleep, and women are notable for being active at night.  And dreaming.  He converses.  You have no idea what a menace to husbands is a conversing man!  But women find it distracting.

“You love your wives.  Soon, they will bear children.  However, when Damon comes to seduce them with fair words, with exciting discourse, with flatteries and ardencies, and will shine the beauty of his countenance upon them and jest with them until they are weak with laughter and adoration, they will forget you and your children, and will race with him to flowery dells and into dim lush spots–and will then betray you for his kisses and his lusts.  Then will your children cry for a maternal breast, and then will there be no dishes upon the table to appease your hungers, and no arms to sustain you in your beds.  You will be veritable orphans, abandoned and alone, left to weep among the wreckages of your households, and the uncleaned pots and the stale bread.  Is that not a fate to weep about, and to pray never afflicts you?”

. . .

. . . Damon has a voice that is irresistible, and what woman can resist a musical voice if it is also masculine?  Damon is all masculinity; he is never weary.  His muscles never ache.  His foot never lags.  He never frowns, if dinner is a little late.  He is also never hungry, as you are hungry, and you know how impatient wives are with the honest hunger of a man.  They remark that men’s bellies seem bottomless.  Correct me if I am wrong.”

“You are correct, Lord,” they said, with dismalness and alarm.

As Damon does not seek a woman with forthrightness, and with sleep in mind thereafter–as you do–he will dally with a woman after love, until she is ready and eager for his embraces again.  Whereas you, my dear little ones, wish to turn on your pillows in preparation for the next day’s work.  Damon never asks, “Do you love me?” as your wives ask, until you yawn for very boredom.  He constantly assures the creature of his immediate affection that never has he loved a woman so before, and how rapturous are her kisses and perfumed her flesh.  Do you say all this to your wives?”

“No, Lord,” they said dolorously.

. . .

. . .

“Be patient.  For one comes who will have all the patience in the world and will never weary.  Not only will he seduce your wives, so that all the horrors I have described will come upon you, but he will bring old age and death to you, and flagging of strength, and disease and pain.  Worse, he will sharpen your women’s tongues, and nothing is more deadly.”

“How can we escape such a dreadful fate?” they cried.

. . . Men are trustful, when it involves women, and that is a momentous mystery which I will not even attempt to explore.  I do not advise distrust as a general climate of the mind.  That can inspire eventual cynicism and lovelessness.  But a reasonable distrust is prudent.  And one knows the weaknesses of women.  Do we not?”

“Certainly!” they exclaimed, positive that they had always known female weaknesses, though the fact had only just occurred to them, alas.

“Then, be watchful for Damon.  Never leave your wives long unguarded, especially in the soft eventides and when the moons are shining.  Do not dally in the fields and the forests and the hills and the meadows as the sun begins to go down.  Do not let anything draw you aside, even if it appears exciting and wondrous and new–and, probably beautiful, itself.  For, if you delay, Damon will appear on your thresholds at home, and you may return to an empty household.  A moment’s delight can cost you a whole life’s industry and hope and peace.  And, again, it will bring you death and suffering.”

. . .

. . .

It is not sensible, as you know, Lucifer, to describe a handsome man to a woman or a lovely woman to a man, human nature being what it is, even on the Eden which is Pandara.

“We will guard our honor and the honor of our households and the safety of our children and the purity of our wives!” shouted the innocent ones, raising their fists high in a solemn oath.  “Ever shall we be watchful of our women, understanding their weaknesses and their frail natures and their susceptibilities to temptation!”

I gave them my blessing and departed.  They have been warned.  Suspicion has been introduced into the turquoise daylight and the silver and lilac nights. . . . In Heaven we are unequally perfect, in accordance with the ability to be perfect inherent in our natures  And that brings me to another subject you discussed in your last letter:  Equality, which pervades hell.

In Heaven, there is Equity, which is an entirely different matter.

. . . The same situation prevails in hell–equality of treatment no matter the soul.  However, in Heaven, as I have mentioned, there is Equity, based on the Natural Law that some men are superior to others, and some angels less than others, in virtue, in devotion, in piety, in dedication, love and courage and goodness.  Equity does not abolish law; it intelligently deals with it, and its inflexibility.

Therefore, spirits in Heaven, angel or man, are rewarded in direct ratio to their accomplishments, which are governed by their will.  Man, as we know, cannot earn merit during his lifetime on the grosser material of the planets, unless he has not fallen.  But fallen men are incapable of earning merit, for their sin has thrown a wall of human impotence between them and their Creator.  Only the Grace of Our Father can give merit to fallen men, and that merit is given by the men’s own acts, through their faith and their desire to receive Grace, through their repentance and their penance, through their acceptance of Grace, itself.  You know this; it is a matter which has enraged you through time . . .

The saved among men, who desired to be saved and therefore had placed themselves in a position to receive Grace, differ enormously in the degree of their natures and their virtues, as well as in their wills and their sins.  A murderer in hell, and a wanton thief, are treated equally with the pains and the uselessness of existence.  But in Heaven a saint is worthier than a man of merely mild virtues, for the saint has labored long and hard in the stony fields of his life and has loved God more than himself, and the lives of his fellow sufferers more than his own.  A man who has valiantly struggled with temptation during his lifetime and has contemplated all the worldly delights you have offered him, Lucifer, and has even desperately yearned for them, but who has gloriously resisted you in his soul and in his living, is worthier of more reward in Heaven than a man who has been merely mildly tempted by you or through some accident has not been much tempted at all, or lacked the terrible vitality to sin, or was afraid of the consequences on his own world.  The first man is a hero; the second man is one who has had little opportunity to be either a hero or a sinner.  Our Father takes note of the human weaknesses of His creatures.  He will not permit you to tempt a man beyond his total ability to resist, but He does permit you to tempt His saints more fiercely and more insistently because they are men of greater valor and nobler mind.  Our Father, as we have observed before, does not create men equal, but He has established Equity, based on the Natural Law which He ordained Himself.  There is no injustice in Him Whom we both love so passionately, and you have never denied your love nor can you destroy it.

Were you the ruler of Heaven the saint and the weaker man would receive equal reward, but that is manifestly unfair.  Archangels, who have vaster powers than angels, are more in possession of free will and therefore the temptation to use that will in defiance of God is infinitely higher in degree than in the lesser angels.  Archangels are given enormous responsibilities and thrones and crowns throughout the endless universes, because of their nature, and it is they who see the Beatific Vision more frequently than the lesser spirits, and the spirits of men.  “To each according to his merits,” is the Law of Heaven, whereas on Terra, and other darkened worlds, there appears to be some mangling of the moral law to the effect that “to each according to his material needs.”  And that, we know, is infamy, injustice, cruelty, and a display of malice to the more worthy. Greed is the ugliest of the detestable sins, for it feeds on its own appetite and is never filled, and its rapacity is increased by its rapaciousness.  It gives rise to the other sins, envy, theft, sloth, lies, adulteries and murder, and gluttony.

There is happiness in Heaven, as you know, but that happiness is in degree, except for the knowing that God loves completely to the extent of an angel’s or man’s worth.  That happiness is compounded by labor, for none are idle in Heaven, and there is a task for all.  That, too, is Equity.

While each task is approached with joy and with the hope–but never the absolute surety–that it will be completed, its completion, when accomplished, leads to higher tasks, worthy of a tempered spirit.  There is always a progression in the Hierarchy of Heaven.  No spirit remains as it was.  And, always, there is a possibility, constantly reiterated, that as the spirit retains its free will, it can will to sin.  This is something the theologians, in their little darkness on their worlds, have never understood or acknowledged–that there is always the hazard that a spirit may fall to you, even in the golden light of Heaven.  For God does not remove free will from His creatures, no matter their degree.  If He did so, He would abrogate their individuality, their very existence, both of which are eternally precious to Him, for they are of His own Nature and Essence.

. . . You have asked me if God pursues the lost soul in your hells.  That I cannot and will not tell you.  Is it possible for the lost to feel repentance?  You have said not–but do you know all minds?

. . .

Your brother, Michael

Halloween really IS evil, says Vatican, and should be replaced with HOLYWEEN so children can dress up as saints and pray

  • Vatican’s first conference of exorcists warned of dangers to children 
  • Says Halloween to blame for huge rise in demonic possessions in October
  • Catholic official says Vatican receives 100s of calls from worried parents 

By Hannah Roberts for MailOnline

Published: 08:50 EST, 29 October 2014 | Updated: 12:06 EST, 29 October 2014

The Catholic Church has called for Halloween to be scrapped and replaced with ‘Holyween’ – a night in which children would attend prayer vigils and dress up as saints.

The Vatican’s first official conference of exorcists warned of a danger to young people at Halloween when there is an increase in occult activity.

Father Aldo Buonaiuto, of the International Association of Exorcists, which met in Rome at the weekend, said that a spike in demonic possessions in October is down to the phenomenon of Halloween.

The organisation’s emergency number receives hundreds of calls over this period, around 40 a day, especially from parents who fear that their child has been initiated into the occult, he said.

He said:  ‘Many say Halloween is a simple carnival, but in fact there is nothing innocent or fun about it – it is the antechamber to something much more dangerous.

‘There are always more evil rituals, animal sacrifices, desecrations of cemeteries and thefts of sacred bones at the time of the 31 October.

Participating in Halloween is ‘like an initiation into the occult’, he said.

‘For the sects it is the best time of year to recruit new members.  From here the door to the devil can be opened.  For this reason its necessary for us to speak out and not play down the danger.’

To replace the ‘dangerous’ festival the Catholic Church in Italy have now launched the initiative ‘Holyween’, he said.

‘While most people are seeped in zombies and horror we put on our door or windows a light or an image evocative of the saints.

‘And then there will be masses, prayer vigils and worship to celebrate the saints and victory of good over evil.’

The conference of 300 exorcists from all over the world took place over the weekend after being officially recognised by the Vatican in June.

At the conference, Pope Francis warned them that they must treat those possessed with ‘kindness’.

He wrote in a message:  ‘Those who perform this particular ministry, in conjunction with the bishops’ must work ‘with love and kindness from the church towards those who suffer because of the evil one’.

More than many of his predecessors, Pope Francis likes to insist that Satan is real and speaks frequently about the Devil’s work.

Last year he was captured performing an apparent exorcism.  In astonishing footage he placed his hands on the head of a boy in a wheelchair, reciting an intense prayer until the boy slumped down exhaling sharply.

‘We Will No Longer Accept the Lies’:

[Glenn Beck’s Speech at Washington, D.C. Rally]

Jun. 19, 2013 11:19am

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck is the CEO & Founder of Mercury Radio Arts.  Beck is one of America’s leading radio and television personalities, and author of #1 New York Times bestsellers in both fiction and non-fiction.  The Glenn Beck Program is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks and is the third highest-rated national radio talk show among adults ages 25 to 54.  Glenn is married with four kids.

Editor’s note: Below are the prepared remarks for Glenn Beck’s speech in Washington, D.C., on June 19, 2013.  This post has been updated with more up-to-date text, though the delivered remarks may slightly differ.

–

Today, inside, they dedicated a new statue of another American giant, Fredrick Douglas – a man born into slavery, but who knew instinctively that he was not born a slave.  No man is.

To keep a man a slave you do much the same as the cruel circus masters did to the elephant around the turn of last century.  Clamp heavy chains around their legs and stake them to the ground.  Then beat and terrorize them.  After a while you no longer even have to stake the chain; the elephant gives up and just the mere rattle of the chain convinces the elephant there is no hope, so they give up and do what ever it is the circus requires.

Fredrick Douglas was lucky enough to live in a house where he was taught to read, write and think.  He knew God did not make men masters over others.  Nor did he ever intend any man to impose unrighteous dominion over another man or beast.

It is time we remind ourselves of this truth again, and begin to rise up against the intimidation before the handful of peanuts from our new political circus masters is considered a kindness and not the symbol of evil cruelty.

In the building behind me, they are now excusing storing all data, phone calls, financial transactions, geotracking on every American for our “safety,” while allowing anyone to cross our borders either on foot or in underground tunnels without any worry or consequence.

They have not suspended or fired but promoted those at the IRS who rattled the chains of control to any group that disagreed with their policies.  And now, after pushing misery and death through the so-called “Arab Spring” in country after country, they are plotting a new war with Syria.  This will bring death and destruction the world over.  We are told that we need to pick sides and arm those who are so far down the scale of decency that even Vladimir Putin asked Americans if they knew that those we are arming have literally eaten their enemies on the battlefield.

The fact that he even needed to ask that question, and that most have never even seen the video of the commander of the rebel troops on TV engaging in this ungodly horror, is an indictment of our government officials and our media.

I am surrounded today by some modern-day spiritual giants.  All from different faiths, different backgrounds and many different views.  But we all have one thing in common.  We don’t recognize our country anymore and because we know that God is just, we tremble for our children’s future.

We wonder, are we even worth defending anymore?  If so, why?  Who are we?  And will we even notice or care when the chain is finally snapped around our legs?

What will be written about us?  The greatest generation has passed.  We are who historians will watch.

Will it be said that none called for justice not one pleaded for truth?  They trusted in vanity and spoke lies.  They conceived mischief and brought forth iniquity.

What is it we even believe as a people anymore?  Where did we get these ideas that now seem so popular?  Our forbears came to these shores not for free stuff, but for freedom.  The chance to make their own way, create a different life.  They came here because they knew that God made them free to make their own way in life, take the risk, do their best and take responsibility for their own lives.

They came here because they wanted to serve Him in the way they believed, not as they were told.

But how many care about our history?  And, of those who do care, how many really still believe?

Some things are worth believing in.  That the little guy can make it.  Every single life has value and is worth living.  That honor and integrity do matter.  That justice will prevail – if not in this life – then the next, and that God does exist.  And what we do in our lives matters.

It is the meek and the humble that inherit the earth.  Have we forgotten?

We have declared ourselves masters of the earth — spread our troops all over the world, taught the world how to do banking like we do it here in America.  Even though we can’t even master our own homes, protect our neighborhoods, or simply balance a check book.  How grotesque and garish we must appear to those looking in.

I, for one, still believe in the silly notion of truth, justice and the American way.

Since our founding, a good percentage of our fellow citizens closed their eyes to the civil rights of all Americans.  “I’m okay.  I don’t want to think of the bad things going on. I am busy.  It doesn’t affect me.  It can’t be that bad and even if it is, I am just one person and what can I do about it anyway?”

Nothing has changed, except the chairs at the table.

Someone has always been on the losing end of the stick of power.  Blacks are the most obvious, the Chinese, the Native Americans, but let’s not forget the Irish, the Catholics, the Mormons, the Jews, and now it seems all those of faith that will not conform.

For those that think men make progress collectively:  I warn you, history teaches that you couldn’t be more wrong.  We are redeemed one man at a time.  There is no “family pass” ticket or park hopping pass to life.  One ticket, one life at a time.

Man doesn’t vanquish hatred or bigotry.  The target keeps moving.  From the blacks to the Irish.  Atheists to Christians.

But as always, there are a few leaders:  Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, Gandhi and Martin Luther King.  They know that the march toward freedom never ends; man must be ever-vigilant and pray less with his lips and more with his legs.

They never forget that truth, justice, and freedom are the wellspring from which the waters of man’s civil rights come.  And so they must be upheld for all men – those you know, those you do not, and maybe more importantly — they must be upheld for those who you do know but do not like or agree with at all.  If they are lost for one, in the end they are lost for all.

In the past, these historic stands which we now call civil rights movements were done by a small but dedicated portion of our citizens which led to great shifts in our culture.  But those movements always came from the same institutions … the church.  And usually not the church with the popular preacher, but the one who put it on the line to tell the people the truth.

Preachers like these men, who know that we are all born free, but that freedom comes at a great price — a profound responsibility to stand against injustice, hatred and bigotry.  Our pulpits have gone quiet out of arrogance, fear and apathy.  Their faith is found in the wisdom of man and not in the power of God.  For some, losing tithing checks or the gold Rolex watch has become more important than losing man’s freedom.

Whatever the reason, too many are no longer willing to call evil by its name.  There is no vision.  And when there is no vision, the people perish.

I humbly suggest to you that Martin Luther King knew the answer, and he lost more than congregants during his long march.  Students are taught that his vision came from the ideas of Gandhi.  Maybe a new radical 20th century progressive philospher was the one that taught MLK that “although we be free of all men, when we choose to make ourselves servants to all, we gain the more.”

Let’s get a couple of things straight. What MLK and Gandhi did was not progressive or new.  It was an ancient idea.  Hollywood, Woodstock, nor the hippie culture was the source of power of the 1960s freedom movement.

God was.

He was leading those who risked their lives over that bridge in Selma, not Janice Joplin, Columbia University, or a labor union.  It wasn’t John Lennon that taught people about love and peaceful resistance — that job fell on the shoulders of a Jewish carpenter.  And it is there that we will find the answers that will break the chains that are being forged for a new generation of slaves.

The rights that so many Americans ignorantly preach about so often are not really their rights.  They belong to God and they are given to us for stewardship.  They are pretty important and obvious.  So obvious that we used to say they were “self-evident,” meaning that humans don’t need to be taught; you instinctively know that you have a right not to be executed without a trial, held without charge, searched without warrant or spied upon without cause.

The government is no longer the protector of those civil rights, and so we must be.  When we are told that it is okay for the IRS, EPA, ATF, FBI or anyone to hassle, threaten or intimidate others because of their skin color, religion or political belief, we stop being the country that we all want to build, and start being the country the world should fear.

The long train of abuses regarding these rights are the same MLK marched against, and the very same our dusty founders warned us about losing.

Men may make progress, but man never changes.  Man loves power and money.  No matter the skin color, religion or income level.  These symbols of our nation make men drunk with power, who then justify their lust for more by claiming they are public servants.  The only difference between Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. is that at least Vegas has the decency to admit the town is full of hookers and crooks.

We must sober up and admit that too many of the Republicans and the Democrats have played us, lied to us and stolen from us, while the getaway car was driven by the media.  A media that can no longer claim with a straight face the role of journalist.  Journalists print the things the powerful don’t want printed.  What they do is public relations.  Those PR firms will not print the truth about the average American who finds himself concerned with the direction of our country today.  So we must.

We are not violent.  We are not racist.  We are not anti immigrant.  We are not anti-government.  And we will not be silent anymore.

Those who wish to use unrighteous dominion over mankind are not enemies of ours; they are enemies of God, and He will not be silent much longer either.  We will no longer accept the lies, the corruption, or the information and data gathering.  It is evil.  And we come here today to send a message that we will surround all of those who wish to stand and break the cycle of corruption.  We will use ourselves as shields to protect those in the system, the elected officials or whistle blowers with the courage to stand.

We come here today to respectfully, but with the power of the spirit, demand to be treated as an equal member of society.  I am a man, and I will be treated as such.  I answer to only one king and His kingdom will come, His will be done. We have chosen sides and we choose God.  America as a nation must do the same, as well.

Glenn Beck Washington D.C. speech

We come today to declare our independence, to reaffirm our founding principles.  We, as a nation, acknowledge a creator.  We acknowledge that he gives certain natural, guaranteed rights to man.  We declare that government exists primarily to protect these natural, God-given rights.  He has established right and wrong.  He is just and therefore, man must pay for his mistakes either now on Earth, or through God’s justice later.

There is no such thing as social justice.  Only God can balance things out, and we are not God.  But honest and decent men can fight for and establish equal justice.

There is no such thing as collective salvation.  We, however, are going to be judged on how we treat our fellow brothers and sisters.  Thus we must serve them, help them with charity toward all.  “Malice toward none,” Lincoln said.  God said it slightly differently – vengeance is mine.

Anyone who speaks of punishing their political enemies in on the wrong side.  It is clearly evil and we have a responsibility to say so.

America:  it is now your time to rise up and boldly declare those same self-evident truths that changed the world, and demand that those truths remain the basis of our laws.

My civil rights will not be trampled, and I say this not for me but for my children, and all those who yearn to breathe free.  Those who make your Apple products at Foxxcon, those who languish in prisons in Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela.  Those homosexuals who are stoned to death in the streets of Egypt or Iran, while our so-called civil rights leaders hold coffee klatches with third graders in the White House.

We will stand not for our job, house or income, but we will stand for those immigrants who came here the right way, and not have their dreams destroyed by increasing competition at the lowest rung of the ladder while keeping the brightest and best minds out of the visa pool allowing for little competition at the top.

We will not pervert women’s rights and twist it into a gross silent defense of abortion doctors in Philly and Houston while turning our eyes from the forgotten women who have never had the civil right to walk alone on a street without a man, or to drive a car in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, and even those who now cower in fear with their faces covered in states like Florida, Virginia, New York and Minnesota.

We will not waste another second shadow boxing the demons of the past when the fight to end actual slavery is still happening today.  Call it what you will, but those who make your iPad in China – those who make your cute little Mao purses – are the very people you claim to care so much about.  They are the ones yearning to breathe free.  And worse, there is the oldest form of human degradation man has ever known, the sex slave trade that currently has in its coils over 2 million children.  The biggest source of this evil is a wide open hole in our Arizona border.

We beg the American people to wake up and help the 8-year-old children being sold into sex slavery.  The press may say, ‘How dare these men declare themselves the next Martin Luther King or civil rights leaders?’

How blind to believe the civil rights movement ever ended.  The civil rights movement never ends, and it never will.  It has been marching since the beginning of time.  Where Martin Luther King started is where Gandhi left off, and where he started, Abe Lincoln left off, and before that Whitfield all the way back to Moses.  God has not moved.  We have.  But it is never too late.  We are not at the mercy of these events.  We can alter the course of history.  We can stand against the dangerous arc of this story.  But we need people who are willing to speak truth.

Glenn Beck Washington D.C. speech

The last century was a century of genocide. A century where collectivist, national socialist, and communist evil rose up again and again… swallowing up the lives of millions.  It happens every time man says the collective is more important than the right of the individual.  That one phrase becomes in the end – every time – a license to kill anyone deemed to be standing in the way of progress.

But evil met its match.  Goodness eventually prevailed.  People like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, Jr., Lech Walesa and Mother Theresa awoke the world.  They gave their lives to the pursuit of human rights.  They took the side of justice against injustice; they held aloft the torch of freedom to push out the darkness of hate.

These men and women lived difficult lives.  They often lived shortened lives.  They were often born to relative privilege, but willing to take on suffering.  They did want not to martyr themselves.  They would have happily lived to the end of their natural lives in comfort… but to the righteous, there is no comfort when evil has taken root.

But the cause of human rights has been taken over by organizations who share little with the individuals who led the movement.  Human rights was once a cry for justice.  Now it used as a threat.  These organizations have become bullies and grotesque parodies of the principles they pretend to represent.  They criticize free nations and spare the unfree.  They denounce nations like Israel and America, who have high standards for freedom, and leave alone nations that have no freedom at all.  They are nearly comical in their double-standards.

They are no more than the enforcers or the attack dogs of those who wish to keep men confined in spaces they design.  Whatever moral force they once had is spent.  Their time is up.  And so, we dismiss them.  Today we take back the phrase “human rights” and place it where it belongs, as the first half of God’s plan for humanity.  The second half is responsibility.

If we want to be endowed with rights – real human rights, we have to act with responsibility.  We must not be comfortable with rights.  We must be comfortable with responsibility.

Who will protect your rights better?  A king, president or you?

Who will protect the truth?  A reporter, a labor union or you?

Who will protect and teach your children to seek truth?  A textbook committee, an education bureaucrat, or you?

Did a commission of wise men stop the Holocaust?  Did a committee of Congress end Jim Crow?

No.  In each case, the work was done by individuals who would not abide convenient lies.

They saw injustice and they called it out.  They saw their nation wage war against a single group and they said “not in my name.”  They didn’t wait for the conventions of society to catch up to God’s laws.  They pushed.  They pressed.  And they were victorious.

Glenn Beck Washington D.C. speech

Each of us have been waiting for a leader to rise from among us.  And none have.  How many have been called and refused to serve?  How many must have failed to heed the call for the Lord to make it all the way down to us?

I pray now that those who have heard the call to rise up in the tradition of peaceful resistance do so now before, as it was with Bonhoeffer, it is too late.  I beg those with eyes and ears to heed the call and begin to train under the exact system used by MLK.  Search his words out.  You will find that your history professors and civil rights activists left out the real author of the words of Gandhi, King and Bonhoeffer.

Read them, ponder them, and risk living them.  Even though they will make you a target of the NSA, having your name on their list as an enemy may in the end be the way your name is forever etched in his book of life.

Pastors, priests and rabbis:  I challenge you.  What have you done with your knowledge and priesthood power that those without have not done this week?  If you cannot answer that with power every day, what does that say about you?

Average citizens and college students:  I challenge you.  Martin Luther King didn’t take a class, get a certificate and a bunch of permits.  He saw injustice, studied eternal truths, exercised discipline and marched.

If you don’t find a leader, perhaps it is because you were meant to lead.

Christians:  I believe in the free market.  If your preacher is too afraid to preach it from the pulpit, maybe you should preach it from the street corner.  Many are called.  Will you answer?

Our spiritual body is out of shape and we need intensive training right now.

Get back to God, and know that some things are true and worth believing in.  The good guys do win in the end.  Evil does not stand unless good men never rise up.  The time is now and we are the people the world is waiting for.  We must never stop being the shore that others can come to for shelter and hope.

But to do so we must realign ourselves with truth and rise up and stand.  This is the vision.  We must preach good tidings to the meek, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to those held captive.  To declare vengeance belongs to God and God alone.  We must give unto those who mourn — beauty for ashes and water the trees of righteousness.  We shall not perish.

I can’t help that most of us don’t like to hear the truth, but hear it we must:  George Washington told us religion and morality are the only stable and lasting basis of individual life and public policy.  If we are to survive, they must be part of our public policy rather than driven from it.

It is no longer enough to just be a good person.  We must work to be the next Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King.  It is noble to strive to be the size of the bronze giant they dedicated this morning in the building behind me.  Fredrick Douglas’ time was in the 1800; King’s time has passed.  This is our time.  This is the next long
march toward civil rights and we shall overcome.

Stand without fear, lock arms and stare down the bullies that wish to enslave mankind yet again.

Honor, courage and love are what is required, and they are contagious.  Spread the word and proclaim liberty throughout the land.

“Let us, today, raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.”

Talkin’ near-bedtime, beer-drinking, alchemy blues

≈ Leave a comment

It’s 9:45 pm, and I’m at my studio in Englewood, Colorado.  I’m having a can of beer.  A good one.  A Colorado-brewed Scotch Ale.  It’s not past my bedtime anymore because I’m past the age of having to be parented.  In fact, my parents are deceased.  I’m also past the age of caring.  Well, I do care some.  Only about certain things and about certain people.  Right now, there may be a full moon that’s beautifully set in the evening sky above me.  Set like a jewel of some celestial, unworldly kind.  (Did I mention I’m a poet?  Maybe not one of the fine caliber of Frank Messina, but as I stand and breath, I say to this night sky that I am poet.)  If it’s not a full moon, then it’s very close.  Close enough.  I care about the moon.  If the moon disappeared suddenly, I would worry.  It’s always moving, but it always comes back.  People don’t always come back, but I can depend on the moon.

I’m sitting in a folding chair now with the flag of Texas for the cloth part.  I hope it’s not a sin of some kind for having my ass set upon a replica of the state of Texas.  Would this be like mooning Texas?  Doh!  I grew up in Texas, so maybe that makes it okay for me.  My parents, paternal grandparents and paternal great-grandparents are all buried outside of a small town in the Texas Panhandle, so I say that gives me the privilege to have my ass thus set.  It’s nice to have privilege of some kind.  I was schooled in Texas through my twenty-fourth year.  I consider that a fine privilege.  I can depend on that education I received, even if my abilities at humor still sometimes are called into question.

I’m rambling, probably because of the good beer that I’m drinking.  A lot of rambling goes on in Texas, but that’s another story.  I’m in Colorado now where there’s a whole lot of good beer.  It’s late, and the moon is very nice to look at as I type this in my folding chair outside of my studio.  There’s very little wind.  It’s kind of balanced between warm and cool and feels just fine.

The real reason I’m writing this is because of the poem I wrote and posted recently titled, alchemist, which I think is pretty good, thank you.  In fact, I can’t stop feeling it.  My hope is that those who read it won’t stop feeling it either.  It was written to be felt until one’s last breath is taken.  I, for one, have decided that I will.

My aunt’s last breath was taken just last month, less than twenty-four hours after I laughed with her in her hospital room, then pretended to reach out to shake her warm, frail hand when I had to go.  She looked down at my hand kind of funny, then smiled when she understood my stupid joke of shaking her hand instead of hugging her.  I leaned over, hugged her and kissed her on her right cheek.  That was that last time I saw her, and I’m intensely glad that we got to laugh together those last moments.

My cousins and her grandchildren were in the room with her when her breath stopped, and they described it for me later.  A long time ago, I was in a hospital room when my paternal grandfather took his last breath.  I know of the experience and feel strongly that I can speak of it:  that final “peace which passeth all understanding.”  We will all experience that final breath, that final peace that has nothing at all to do with books or words, even Biblical words, or knowledge or understanding of any kind.  And we will all take that peace to the great beyond.  Better to be laughing sweetly than living bitter.

I’d like to try to explain my poem, alchemist, only a little, because poems, like some things, are not supposed to be explained but instead felt, taken deep inside.  I truly do want you to take this poem inside, which I myself will take to the grave with me.

This poem can be taken as a recipe or a prayer or both.  I see it as both.  It can be taken in an Eastern traditional way or a Western traditional way.  I see it as both.

A “Flight For Life” just flew over because a hospital is only a block away.  Critically injured people are taken to and from there all the time, so I always make a sign of the cross when the helicopter flies over.  I can usually see bright lights on in the copters and paramedics’ heads along with their red vests because they’re so close in the air above me.  They’re very loud and always capture my attention whatever I’m doing at the moment.  But, back to the poem.

alchemist is at its heart simply about the act of meditation.  One takes in a deep breath of air.  It mixes with one’s inner energy, one’s “khi.”  The “pluses and minuses,” or the goods and bads, or sacreds and evils or positives and negatives within are balanced.  When one holds a breath in, it’s like an expanding  inner strength, a balanced rainbow of bright light, radiating outwards beyond the flesh, an “aura.”  (Hang in here with me.  Don’t “New Age” out on me.)  When one empties the balanced breath outward, the experience of “peace which passeth all understanding,” from either the final line of T.S. Eliot’s poem, The Waste Land, or earlier, from Philippians 4:7, takes its place.  This is the recipe, or prayer:  khi + aura =  peace which passeth all understanding.

Try it right now.  “Breathe deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room…”  Doh!  Sorry, I accidentally channeled The Moody Blues just then.  Seriously, though, take a deep breath, feel the air and energy balancing the crap in your life down into the good in your life, feel the energy expand outward as if becoming an aura radiating out from your flesh,  let the breath out and then feel the peace.  It’s just a breath for God’s sake!  We all do it.  We have to in order to breathe.  It’s not that you do it.  It’s how you do it.

This is a recipe or prayer which cooks one from within in order that one may be ready to be served to others.  How can an unprepared or uncooked meal be served to others?  It would be an insult, in the least.  Being properly cooked brings one to be brightened.  Properly serving oneself to others is cause for laughter (and of course it’s a nice privilege to be served as well).  You can always tell when one is underprepared or undercooked by what a bummer they are to be around.  Yep.  Too much minus and not enough plus:

“Hay, how ya doin’ there partner?”

“Just peachy, thanks.  Doin’ just peachy.”

“Yeah, well you might just tell that to your face.”

You know the kind.

One’s outer form is imposed on them whether liked or not.  A turkey is a turkey.  A pig is a pig.  A big nose is a big nose.  Plastic surgeons aren’t really hiding anything.  What matters is that the “peace which passeth all understanding “ is prepared within so that it can then be served beyond.  Beyond the flesh.  Beyond the form.

There are other feelings in the poem which are personal to me.  I won’t share those. They’re for my contentment alone.  But the recipe/prayer is for all.  It’s so simple.  Take the air into your energy.  Balance out the shit that media satellites constantly feed you with the good that’s there to be found by just turning the channel in another direction–like towards that very bright moon shining above, or to the Flight For Life helicopters that are so good for reasons that don’t have to be explained to anyone with family or friends.

In a way, the whole thing is like a refrigerator.  Unless it’s consistently plugged in, the cold will very soon become warm, and the food will stink.  The closest scientific term is entropy.  Unless you regularly follow the recipe/prayer, the minus will always overtake the plus just like the warm will always overtake the cold.  Regarding alchemist, one needs to stay plugged in for as often as possible to overpower the minus enough to balance the two.

Here’s the most important point.  One can never eliminate the minuses in life. They’re there as sure as a big nose is there, or a pig or a turkey. The minus has to be cooked through with the plus to reach a balance.  Anything more would be overcooking, or charring.  Life has minuses whether one likes it or not.  The very best you can do is to obtain balance–regularly, until it becomes a habit.

Many people consider meat to be bad, but I can tell you from having grown up in Texas that finely prepared chicken-fried steaks or barbeque ribs or T-bone cuts of steak are as well-balanced a meal as one can ever find.  Although, the “peace which passeth understanding” is many times followed afterwards by an early bedtime with much snoring.

It’s now 11 pm, and the burritos I ate earlier, along with the good beer, are having a similar effect.  A natural effect.  The pluses and minuses in life are plentiful and natural.  Today, and in the days to come, the minuses will, I believe, become even more plentiful.  It makes it even more vital to do whatever one can to balance the two, to stay plugged in.

Khi + Aura = Peace which passeth all understanding.  That ultimate peace will only be found in death and then taken beyond, but in life, it can and should be encouraged within–to the max–at all times, and then also taken beyond oneself, into your family, friends and the world at large.

Before being served to others, one must be properly cooked.  That is the alchemy from the alchemist that turns something base into something of value.  That is the Khi, the Aura and the Shantih, Shantih, Shantih.  And, this is where I wish to end my prayer before bedtime overtakes me at last and leads me to warm dreams of a cooked Steve that brightly laughs and dances with the alchemist in the companionable moonlight with good beers.  Doh!

Traverse City’s (Michigan USA) Annual Hiroshima Candlefloat on the Boardman River was held on Nagasaki Day, August 9, 2010. It marked the 65th anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. http://mywheelsareturning.com/2010/08/10/annual-candle-float-on-the-boardman-river/

Jean and I lived less than two miles from Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado when that infamous shooting occurred.  I was at work, and Jean was at a bus stop about two blocks away from the shooting.  She saw personnel in fatigues with rifles running in a nearby field toward the school.

We live in Bailey now but were staying overnight at Jean’s parents’ place in Lakewood during, and about 12 miles or so from, the newly infamous Aurora shooting in the early minutes of last Friday, July 20, 2012.

Here are some random thoughts of mine on the Aurora tragedy:

1.)  It takes only one person, for good or evil, to affect a nation.

2.)  Citizens pull the strings of their elected representatives, not the other way around.  The President moves to our citizens’ pain, as does the governor, the mayor, the members of Congress and the city officials–not the other way around.  That’s why you saw President Obama, all of Colorado’s congressmen and many of our states elected officials in Aurora yesterday.

3.)  “… the peace of God … passeth all understanding …”  Phil. 4:7.

4.)  “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”  Rom. 12:21.

5.)  Regardless of all of the hindsight-rhetoric of people now saying that we need to pay more attention to those close to us who may seem dangerously troubled, and report them, the police will generally not respond until shots have been fired or blood has been spilled.  Besides, we do not need to expand citizen surveillance.

Mental illness should absolutely become a priority of medical staff and lawmakers of this nation–indeed of our world at large–given the proliferation of causes for mental illness within a world seemingly gone mad and seemingly with no long-vision concern for advances in technology and weaponry that increasingly and exponentially allow what Alvin Toffler, in 1970, called “Future Shock” and what I would now term a “present and sophisticated madness.”

What exactly is the character of “The Joker” in the Batman series but a sophisticated and intelligent madman hiding behind his mask–a self-assured, clownish smile?  Our society, now more than ever, allows for such a fictional character to seem to step out from behind the theatre screen and into a very painful reality, as just happened at the Aurora Century 16.

6.)  Violence is not a joke.  There are those in our society who justify violence, like the Occupy Wall Street practitioners who act just as smugly (burn cars, businesses, property; and injure law enforcers) out of an amused sense that they are more sophisticated and intelligent than those who don’t agree with them politically, and that they don’t have time for pleading their case non-violently.  Violence is not a joke, whether a democrat, republican, liberal or conservative or whatever.

Angelique and Barnabas

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp could have chosen numerous ways to approach their remake of Dark Shadows.  The original show was absolutely loved by all who followed it, and it’s still a cultural document that characterizes the pivotal period between 1966 and 1971.  Yearly conventions have been held since the show went off the air.  Books are still being written about it.

Dark Passages by Kathryn Leigh Scott

Instead of translating that love into what holds people together during dire circumstances and fears and supernatural questions and frights–maybe the path that The Sixth Sense took, or even the Twilight Series, or anything with a serious framework, Burton and Depp chose the absolutely most innane approach possible–to make silly fools of the characters and of the whole 1970s culture that followed the demise of the show.

Why they would choose to poke fun at what was a revolutionary concept at the time–a soap opera about vampires, witches, werewolves?  This was almost 50 years before Twilight and Underworld, and it was scheduled on TV for exactly the time when kids got out of school.  That’s right, I said kids.  Here was a show with fangs and blood and murder and stakes driven in hearts, and kids were running home from school to watch it on public TV (there was no cable at the time), and most parents not only let us but watched it with us.  There were no videotapes or DVR’ing then; it was a time of the day we lived for–not for a laugh-fest, but to communally immerse ourselves into it.

School’s out!  Rush home to the TV little kiddies.

There was nothing campy about it to us.  At the age of 11 – 16, I and others saw it as an alternative universe to the one we lived in–the one in which Malcolm X was shot to death in a church a year earlier in 1965 by the Nation of Islam with both a sawed-off shotgun and two handguns for preaching unity between blacks and whites; the one in which the terrorist SDS (Students For A Democratic Society) were crafting improvised explosive devices  (IED’s) and razor blade studded potatoes to ethnically cleanse the “blue meanies” of society that they hated, in the name of peace, love and happiness.

Dark Shadows at least made sense in that Barnabas was evil because of a curse placed on him by Angelique.  Why was the Nation of Islam evil?  They weren’t cursed by Angelique.  Why were the SDS supposedly fighting for peace, love and happiness, and yet they were killing and maiming innocent people.  They weren’t cursed by Angelique, were they?  Maybe I missed something back then.  The world of Dark Shadows made sense in a way that our own screwed-up world didn’t.

You would think that Burton and Depp would have had the vision to put two-and-two together to make an important statement instead of a silly juvenile laugh-fest.

On February 21, 1965, in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm X began to speak to a meeting of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, when a disturbance broke out in the crowd of 400.  As Malcolm X and his bodyguards moved to quiet the disturbance, a man rushed forward and shot Malcolm in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun.  Two other men charged the stage and fired handguns, hitting him 16 times.  Shabazz was in the audience near the stage with her daughters.  When she heard the gunfire, she grabbed the children and pushed them to the floor beneath the bench, where she shielded them with her body.  When the shooting stopped, Shabazz ran toward her husband and tried to perform CPR.  Police officers, and Malcolm X’s associates, carried him to a stretcher, and brought him to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  Angry onlookers caught and beat one of the assassins, who was arrested on the scene.  Eyewitnesses identified two more suspects.  All three men, who were members of the Nation of Islam, were convicted, and sentenced to life in prison.

[see my blog: Malcolm X’s “The Ballot or the Bullet” for more.]

The Nation of Islam supposedly stood for God and yet they were shotgunning those who veered from the party line–those like Malcolm X who saw a nation inclusive of blacks and whites.  The SDS supposedly stood against war and for peace and yet they were bombing and maiming their opposers.  “Helter Skelter” and “Gimme Shelter” indeed!  Sorting it out then was almost impossible.  Who were the good, the bad and the ugly?  In Dark Shadows, you knew the answers.

Tribune Archive Photo – October 9, 1969: Chicago Police Sgt. James Clark shows one of the weapons used by [SDS] demonstrators [during their “Bring Home the War” Days of Rage], a potato studded with razor blades.

Sorting it out now leads one into the territory of political incorrectness, because it’s the remnants of the SDS who largely advise our government now [ see http://www.city-journal.org/2008/eon0629df.html ] and who still desire to ethnically cleanse the “blue meanies” of opposers to their political agendas in the name of peace, love and happiness.  Members of the 1960s SDS/Weather Underground, Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers and Jeff Jones have all served in giving advice within the President Obama administration.  Frances Fox Piven, involved with the 1960s SDS, now advises the direction of the Occupy Movement.

[see my blog: Spring 2012: Lucifer Rising and Other Sound Tracks? for more.]

Ron Paul says:  “Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies.”  That has never been more true as now.  He also quotes Psalms 120: 6-7, “Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.  I AM FOR PEACE but when I speak, THEY ARE FOR WAR.”

Barnabas was cursed by Angelique, making him a good guy who was cursed to do evil things.  Angelique was evil, but so dang tempting and seductive, and those eyes of hers–mama mia!  Anyway, in Dark Shadows, people acted contrary to their inner goodness, and people without goodness may have succeeded for awhile, but they ultimately got their just desserts.

Angelique (Mama mia!)

Burton and Depp were major fools to choose to make clowns of these characters instead of relating their fictional otherworldly existence to the reality of the otherwordly existence of the late 1960s and then to take it a step further to our current otherworldly existence in this most bizarre (and deja vu) election year of 2012.  (Perhaps they’re cowards to appear “politically incorrect”–or worse…)

Just like Barnabas and Angelique, fated lovers, here we are again in a battle of lies, deceits and struggles for worldly power, eternal power–or eternal death.

But, there will be no eternal rest for Barnabas:

131 disc (1225 episodes) Complete Series (1966-1971) in nickel-hinged coffin case. Spines of DVD cases when lined up in box show image of Barnabas lying in the casket: Includes Jonathan Frid’s autograph: $431.99.

[Caldwell, Taylor.  Dialogues With The Devil.  New York:  Doubleday & Co., 1967. pp 34-45.]  Please see Taylor Caldwell’s Dialogues With The Devil (1967) #1 of 22 for an introduction to this serialization.

GREETINGS to my brother, Michael . . .

. . . There is a strange similarity between Heaven and hell: . . . Each morning my damned say, “This is another day!”  But they discover that it is the same as the day before.  In Heaven, there is no time.  Surely that is a greater weariness.  My damned do not attain, for there is nothing to attain.  Your holy souls do not attain, for total attainment is not possible.  The soul strains, whether in Heaven or hell.  If there is a singular difference I have yet to discern it. . . . But if even archangels are not to know its supreme secrets, wherein lies the satisfaction?  To know that one can never know all appears to me, at times, to be hell, itself.  At least my damned know all there is to know of hell, and my nature.  There are no hidden corners, and if there are no fresh delights there are no fresh mysteries and no terrors, however sublime.  This condition has always seemed the most desirable among men — and have I not given it to them?

There is an answer for every question in hell.  My demons are solicitous.  No soul asks without a reply.  If the reply is mundane and possesses no novelty — did not man wish that for himself during the time of his mortal life?  Nothing affrights these miserable wretches more than a hint that a strangeness is about to appear, yet they bewail — after a space — the sameness of hell.  On all their worlds they struggle for the very condition they find in my hells — no disturbing variety, no uncertainty, no danger, no test of courage, no challenge, and no enigmas.  They considered this the most marvelous of existences.  Once assured of it in hell, however, they are agonized.  I have always said that human souls were pusillanimous [lacking courage] and blind, and contradictory.

Certainly, in hell, there is no free will, for the damned relinquished it on their worlds.  This torment has been denied them by me.  Therefore, they cannot will to climb to Heaven by self-denial, by contemplation, by worship, by dedication, by acts of faith and charity.  These attributes shriveled in them during their lives, or were rejected scornfully by them in moods of risible sophistications.  They can desire to possess them now, but I would keep them safe and warm, as Our Father never kept them so!  So, they can will nothing.  They can only accept the pleasures — and the pains — I bestow on them.

In Heaven, however, free will is fully released.  The ability to reject, to deny, remains with archangels, angels and the souls of the saved.  The gift of repudiation is still with them and the possibility of disobedience.  Is that not most frightful?  What insecurity!  What danger!  My damned remain with me in eternal slavery because in life they desired only safety, and lacked the fire of adventure, though, God knows, they protested enough on their worlds!  But what did they protest?  Inequality, which is the variety of God.  Instability, which is the light of the universes.  Uneasiness of mind, which is the soul of philosophy.  Apparent injustices, which are the goad of the spirit.  Vulnerability to life and other men, which is a charge to become invulnerable through faith in God.  The presence of suffering or misfortune — but these are a call for the soul to put on armor and serenity.  They demanded of their rulers that they remain in constant cocoons, silky and guarded by earthly authority.  They did not ask for wings to soar into the sunlight, and the ominous threats of full existence.  They rejected freedom for hell.  Certainly, they cried for freedom on their worlds, but it was freedom only to live happily without the freedom to be divinely unhappy.

I have satisfied all these lusts of men.  Strange, is it not, that my hells, though the ultimate success of the dreams of men, are filled with weeping?  And strange, is it not, that they still do not believe in the existence of God?  But then, they never did; they believed only in me.  They cannot will to believe in God.  They see absolute reality about them now, which was their will in life.  I will not pretend that I do not understand them, for was it not I who promised them all without work and without striving?

But lately I asked of a newly descended soul which had much acclaim on Terra:  “What was your greatest desire on your world, you who were applauded by rulers and admired by your fellowmen?

He replied, “Justice for all,” and put on a very righteous expression.

That was admirable, for who does not admire justice, even I?  But I probed him.  He declared that in his earthly view all men deserved what all other men possessed, whether worthy or not.  “They are men, so they are equal, and being born they have a right to the fruits of the world, no matter the condition of their birth or the content of their minds, or their capacities.”  I conducted him through the pleasures of my hell, and he was delighted that no soul was lesser in riches than another, and that every soul had access to my banquets and my palaces, no soul was distinguishable from another, none possessed what another did not possess.  Every desire was immediately gratified, he discovered.  He smiled about him joyfully.  He said, “Here, justice is attained!”

Then he saw that no face was joyful, however mean or lofty its features.  He remarked, wonderingly, on the listlessness of my damned, and how they strolled emptily through thoroughfares filled with music and through streets wherein there was not a single humble habitation.  He heard the cries of pleasure over my laden tables, and then heard them silenced, for there was no need now for food and where there is no need there is no desire and no enjoyment.  He saw that the poorest on earth were clothed in magnificence and jewels, yet they wept the loudest.  He was no fool.  He said, “Satiety.”  [Satisfied to excess.]  True, I answered him, but satiety can live only in the presence of total equality.  He pondered on this while I led him to the seat of thousands of philosophers, and he sat down among them.  But, as there is no challenge in hell, and no mystery, there can be no philosophy.  That night he came to me on his knees and begged for death.  I struck him with my foot, and said, “O man, this was the hell you made, and this was the desire of your heart, so eat, drink, and be merry.”

He attempted to hang himself, in the manner of Judas, and I laughed at his futility.  I meditated that above all futility is the climate of hell.

He said to me, in tears, “Then, if you are, then God exists.”

“That does not follow,”  I replied to him.  “But, did you not deny Him on Terra?  Did you not speak of supra-man, and man-becoming, and the ultimate glorification of man on earth, without God?”

“I did not see God among men,” he said, wringing his hands.

“You did not look,” I said.  “You were too dull in your human arrogance and too enamored of humanity.  You never denounced your fellows for their lusts and their cruelties.  You told them they were only ‘victims.’  You refused to look upon their nature, for you denied the infinite variety and capacities of nature.  To you, one man was as good as any other man, and equally endowed, for the foolish reason that he had been born.  You saw no saints, and no sinners.  It was only a matter of environment, though the proof was all about you that environment is a mere shading or tint on the soul, and is not destiny.  You denied that men have gifts of the spirit, often above those of other men.  In truth, you denigrated those gifts of striving and wonder.  You denied free will.  Everything evil that happened to a man was only the result of his fellowmen’s lack of justice.  You denied the reality of good and evil, the ability to make a choice.  In short you denied life, itself.”

“Then God in truth does exist?” he asked, after a moment’s miserable thought.

“That you will never know,” I said.  “But rejoice!  All your dreams are fulfilled here.  Delight yourself.  Behold, there are beautiful female demons here, and banquets and sports and pleasures and soft beds and lovely scenes and all whom you had wished, in life, you had known.  Converse with them.”

“There is no desire in me,” he said.  “I want nothing.”

“You are surely in hell,” I replied, and I left him weeping.

God pursues them even in hell.  Or, does He, my beloved Michael?  Grief is the gift of God.  But He will not have my damned!  For they have no will to rise to Him. . . .

But let us speak of your new worlds, which you mentioned in your last letter.

Pandara, among the dozen about the enormous and fiery blue sun, interests me.  Our Father struck six women and six men from the jeweled dust, and gave them the Sacrament of marriage.  I must congratulate God, for these creatures are fairer than many others.  Their flesh resembles rosy alabaster, and their hair is bright and sparkling, and their eyes are green and full of light.  They will have eternal youth if they do not fall.  They frolic and work in the warm and turquoise radiance, where there are no seasons because Pandara moves upright in her long slow orbit about her parent sun.  There will be no fierceness of storm or calamities of nature — unless these creatures fall.  There will be joyous labor and eager participation in life, and life without end in the forests full of red and purple and golden flowers, and about the lucent rivers and the mother-of-pearl lakes.  There will be cities of song and learning.  There will be adventure and delight.  I have seen the red peaks of mountains, and the dawns like benedictions and the sunsets like Heaven, itself.  There is no disease here, no hunger, no sorrow, no pain, no death.  There is knowledge of God, and God moves among them, and they feel His presence and His love.

Alas, God has also endowed them with free will.

That is my opportunity.

The women and the men are as young as life.  I can bring them age and evil and disease and death and violence and hatred and lusts.  Six women, and six men.  What shall I do?

Shall I introduce a seventh man, my Damon, who seduced so many on other worlds, and on miserable Terra, where he seduced Eve and Helen of Troy and millions of other women?  He is a beautiful angel, full of gaiety and subtlety and delectabilities.  His conversations are absorbing and delicious.  His inventions of the flesh are luscious and charming; his concupiscences [sexual desires] are sweeter than any fruit.  Few women have ever rejected him.  His very touch, his smile, is beguiling, and he is all that is male.  How can any woman resist him?

If introduced on Pandara the women will reflect that he is far more beautiful than their husbands, and that he does not toil in the fields and that his discourses are wondrous and mysterious, and that he hints of joys they have never experienced before.  Sad, is it not, that even Our Father stands at bay before a woman?  Who can know the intricacies of a female heart, and its secret imaginings?  Damon knows these intricacies, and winds them about his fingers like silver or darksome threads.  He can persuade almost any woman into adultery.

It needs but Damon to destroy Pandara.

Or, perhaps, I will send Lilith, my favorite female demon, to the men of Pandara, that beautiful planet.  She seduced Adam and Pericles and Alexander and Julius Caesar and so many rulers on Terra now.  Who is so lovely as Lilith?  Once she graced the Courts of Heaven and all looked on her beauty with awe.  She has a thousand astounding forms, and each one more gorgeous than another.  She is never oppressive, never demanding.  She is yielding and soft and attentive.  She follows; she never leads.  When she speaks her voice is like celestial music.  Each attitude resembles a stature of sublime glory.  She says to men, “How wondrous you are, how unique, how intellectual, how far above me in understanding!”  She is femininity itself, easily conquered, easily overcome by flattery, easily induced to surrender.  She has only to beckon and men rush to her with cries of lust and desire.

Damon or Lilith?

Strange to remark, men are less susceptible to determined seduction than women.  Damon can offer women mysteries and endless amusement, and what woman can spurn mystery or amusement?  They love the secret dark places, the moon, the whispered hotness, the promise of uniqueness and adoration.  Women do not crave power; they are not objective.  Truth to them is relative.  Is this evil or good?  Women in their minds can create a confusion, and this, on so many worlds, they have bequeathed to their sons.  A woman can resolve all things in her mind and make so many splendid compromises.  If the women of Pandara look upon Damon there will be rivalries for his smiles and attention, the lonely male they will yearn to take to their breasts when their husbands are absent.  There is a certain doggedness in husbands which women find full of ennui.

On the other hand, there is Lilith, who is always ambiguous and never captured.  Men seek after the uncaptured, the unattainable, which, alas, is the climate of Heaven.  Lilith is always pursued but never caught.  What man can resist Lilith, who never argues, never complains, is always complaisant and always fresh and dainty?  Her conversation never demands that a man ponder, or question.  Men, I have discovered, detest women who pose challenges of the mind and the soul.  They are engrossed in the flesh to the deepest extent, therefore they are simple, however their pretensions to intellect.  They dislike women who ask “Why?”  They turn from women with serious faces and furrowed brows.  They wish only to play, to gratify themselves in moments of leisure.  They find their wives always at hand, and women’s conversation is usually concerned with children and the dull affairs of daily living.  The women say, “How are the crops, or the cattle?  How is our present treasure?”

But Lilith says, “Let us frolic and rejoice in the sun and weave garlands of roses and drink wine and laugh and discover comedies.  Above all, let us embrace each other.”  This is the exact opposite of the conversation of wives, and so is irresistible.

Too, women are sedulous [persevering] in the seeking of God, which is the other side of their nature.  Men can endure just so much of God, and just so much discussion of Him.  After that, they seek love and physical activity or their little philosophies.  Or sleep.  Men love slumber, though women resist it.  Man reasons, woman conjectures.  Therefore, man wearies first.  He is always yawning in the very midst of feminine discourse.

Considering this, I believe Damon will be the most potent in Pandara, as he was in the majority of worlds.  Women do not fall lightly.  Eve gave much thought before she ate of the Forbidden Tree.  (Adam was merely vaguely aware of it, and, as it was forbidden, he usually ignored it.  Men are slaves to law.)  Damon adores the struggle in the female spirit, for while seductible it thinks of God.  Lilith often complains that men are so easily the victims of their flesh, so there is no serious enticement, no arduous pursuit.  In concupiscence, men never think of God at all.

I shall send Damon, the beautiful, the most alluring of male demons.

(If I seem contradictory concerning the nature of humanity . . . Michael, it does not follow that I am inconsistent.  I have written that men are less susceptible than women to seduction, but that is on the score of sensibility.  A woman cannot be seduced by raw sensuality; her mind and spirit must be engaged also, and she must be convinced that in some fashion the purity of love is involved.  She must feel the wings of her soul expand, so that all is well lost for love, itself.  It takes on itself, in her mind, the aspect of the eternal, the immutable.  So, women are an excitement to Damon.  But the purely female, like Lilith, cannot be resisted by men, who see nothing eternal in marital love, nothing sanctified, however the words they repeated by rote.  A woman is just an encounter to a man.  She can be successfully resisted only if she is intelligent and only if she asks questions, and only if she demands that the situation be permanent.  Woman must be seduced through her most delicate emotions.  Man alone can be seduced if no spiritual emotions are present at all.  Damon was forced to converse with Eve to the point of exhaustion before she ate of the fruit which was forbidden.  Had Lilith approached Adam, the deliciousness of the fruit would have needed only to be described. . . .

Yes, my choice will be Damon.  He will be elegant to the women of Pandara.  He will not openly seduce.  He will treat them as equals, yet not so equal that it diminishes his masculine power.  He will declare that their souls and their minds entrance him, that above all women they are the most ravishing.  He will talk poetry with them hour after hour; he will never be bored, as husbands are bored.  He will indicate the beauties on their world, and will strike attitudes, but not effeminate ones.  He will tenderly entwine flowers in their bright hair.  He will kiss their hands, and show his muscles at the same time.  If they leap with enjoyment, he will leap higher.  He will pursue, and offer them ardent embraces.  He will discuss their natural problems with them, with manly indulgence.  If they become pettish, in the way of women, he will seize them in his strong arms and quiet their mouths with his own.  At the last, as if tired of play, he will lift them up and run with them to some silent glade and forcibly take them, ignoring their hypocritical cries and their beating hands.  Above all, he will pretend that they, themselves, seduced him with their beauty and reduced him to distraction.  What woman can believe that she is without allurement, either of the body or the mind?

I am sad for you, Michael, my brother.  Pandara is already lost.  I am sending Damon tonight to the women of your beautiful planet.  I will reserve Lilith for later, when the race is fallen.  She will convince men that lust is more delightful than reason, and feminine charms more to be desired than sanctity, or duty.  The flesh, she will say, has its imperative, but where is the imperative of the soul — if it exists at all?  The flesh is tangible and lovely.  Who would forego it for the transports of the spirit?  The man who would do that, she will inform her victims, is no man at all and is not potent.

In short, he is a eunuch.  What man does not believe that with a perceptive woman he will be forever virile, despite age or change?  Lilith will introduce man to perversions and to atrocities.  She will guide him into cruelties which women can never imagine.  She will cloud his mind.  She will darken his soul against God, while he basks in her arms.

I anticipate Pandara and her sister worlds, for they are now inhabited with a new race, fairer and more intelligent than Terra, among others.  Terra, in particular, has always had a certain and sickening mediocrity of intellectual climate, now stimulated by those who designate themselves as “intellectuals.”  Terra dutifully conforms to what her race calls non-conformity.  Rare has been the man in her history who was truly individual, and those men were either murdered for their purity of soul or, in despair at the race, became its glorious assassins.  In general, the history of Terra has been stupid if frightful, predictable if dreadful.  The souls of Terra which descend to me give even hell disagreeable moments, for they are ciphers.  Yet, on the other hand, they form a special torment to those souls from other worlds who are more intellectually endowed, and it is very amusing.  The men from other worlds have even, in hell, attempted to lift up the intelligence of the men of Terra, to no avail, but to much comedy for my demons.  There have been desperate but fruitless classes in the sciences and the arts for the men of Terra, and they have always failed, and there have been cries, “These souls are not truly human!  They are impermeable!  True, but I always discourage such outcries with the formula of “democracy.”  This ritualistic word silences the souls of other worlds, if it tortures them, for was it not their own invention?

My dear brother.  In the golden twilight of Pandara I visited your magnificent planet.  There I discovered you in a great purple garden, conversing with Our Father, and your voice was full of laughter and gaiety and innocent abandon, for you were rejoicing in the beauty of where you found yourself and were exchanging jests with Him. . . . I did not see Our Father, but He saw me.  I felt His majestic presence, and I covered my face with my wings.  But still, I knew His penetrating eyes and how can I bear them, so full of reproach and sorrow?  It is not my fault.  He does not understand, and, alas, it is possible that He never will.  He did not speak to me, but He spoke to you, and I heard your voices and your mirth.  The green dolphins of the seas appeared to be amusing you.

I have had another thought:  When Pandara has fallen I will send one of my favorite demons to her, whose name is Triviality.  You know him well.  You have seen him in his activity on thousands of planets, and he is more deadly than Damon and Lilith combined. . . .

. . .

Your brother, Lucifer

GREETINGS to my brother, Lucifer, who weeps at his triumphs:

. . .

You have written that you are more merciful than Our Father, for you would have denied man immortal life.  You would also have denied him Heaven.  You would have denied him the one thing which makes him higher than the other animals on all the other worlds besides Terra:  free will.  Better it is for a man even to be damned than to be without that awesome gift!  At least he had his choice.  That alone gives him dignity, whether in Heaven or in hell, and in spite of all your efforts, my poor brother, you cannot deprive the damned of dignity.  They share your immortal existence, and for that you cannot forgive them.  They have their garment of eternal life.

Even a damned soul who grieves for what he lost is more than a body which expires with the breath. . . .

I look upon the constant striving in Heaven with pleasure and affection.  There is a perpetual coming and going of angels and the souls of the saved with news of new planets and universes and the wonders upon them.  There is endless laughter and excitement and exchange of opinion and conjecture.  Was it not the Christ who said that human ear has not heard and human eye has not seen the marvels which God has prepared for those who love Him?

Do I need to recall to you the aspect of Heaven?  Eternal noon, but not an unchanging noon.  No vista remains the same.  No vision of the eye is static.  The only constant is love between angel and man and God and angel and God and man.  All else changes, and always there is anticipation and work.  Work is not an affliction, as human hearts believe it is.  When God “condemned” man to work He bestowed the next holiest gift after free will.  Labor is prayer and achievement, and the uncertainty of the achievement.  Beauty is always in the process of becoming, but is never fully attained.  Joy is in the next turning, but the next turning promises greater joy.  Love is never completely satisfied in Heaven, except for the surety of the Love of God.  It strains forever, and happily, after greater fulfillments.

If a soul is weary after its sojourn on any of the worlds, it may rest in green shadows and peace until its weariness is spent.  Then it must engage in the work of God, which is never completed.  It so engages with eagerness and with a pleasure that is never satisfied.  Does a soul desire to create marvelous sunsets or dawns on any world?  It is given into its hands, for the greater glory of God.  The soul paints the skies with the calm and stately morning or the pensive quietude of evening.  It colors the flowers of the field and gives the grain its gold.  If it is concerned with wonders that baffled it in life, then it pursues the answer to the wonders and it becomes luminous with satisfaction when the answer is finally perceived.  But still other wonders beckon it on, and tantalize it.

Was a soul without the love of men on the worlds and did it languish for that love?  It is poured into its immortal hands in Heaven and is appeased.  Did it hope on the earths that it would see the faces of the lost beloved?  It so sees and knows that never again can there be parting or ennui with love, itself.  Did it long for children to embrace, when children were denied?  Its arms are rich with children in Heaven.  Was it homeless before its ascent?  It can create for itself the home of its lost dreams, whether humble or a palace.  Did it desire to serve God to the utmost while in flesh, yet could not fulfill that desire?  The fulfilment is its own, ranging the endless universes and inspiring the sorrowful and lifting up the hearts of the sad and soothing the pain of the innocent, and bringing good news to those who dwell in darkness.  It can whisper in the winds and bring knowledge in the twilights and hope in the dawns.  Each soul that it helps save and bring safely to God is an occasion for triumph, and its fellows triumph with it.

All of which a man innocently dreamed in flesh is his at home, whether simple or magnificent.  Best of all he grows in accomplishment.  Always, there is the divine discontent, and never the security of hell.  Always, angels and men must strive in Heaven.  There is not one congregation, for in congregations there is conformity and the soul cannot exist in sameness.  Each soul is an individual, and resembles no other, and serves as no other.  It serves its own need, and God is its need, and though it attains God it never fully envelops or knows Him.  There is its most splendid dissatisfaction, its happiness.  For what is completely possessed is a weariness.  Victory is nothing when victory is entirely attained.  You have seen the misery of conquerors on all the worlds, when there was nothing else to conquer.  But none conquers in heaven save God, and who knows if He fully conquers?

Above all, in Heaven, there is no exhaustion, no tiredness of spirit, no repletion.  There is eternal youth, and endless speculation.  You have said that love is passive.  If it is, then it is not love at all, but only selfish desire or a momentary engrossment.  It is peaceful, and that is true, but it is not the peace of death.  It is surety, but still it is not the surety of the grave.  It must eternally be sought and eternally found, with new aspects and new delights.  The music of Heaven is the voices of those who have seen a new face in love and marvel that they had not seen it before.

The City of God is not like unto your city, O Lucifer, for there is no gross pleasure in it, no obscene appetites.  All that was beautiful and beguiling and enchanting on the worlds is greatly magnified in heaven, and always changing, offering new enticements.  It is never the same, while it is always the same.  You will scornfully say again that that is a paradox, but there is infinite delight in paradoxes.  Only Absolutes are rigid, and rigidity is the true death of the spirit.  But one Absolute reigns in Heaven and the planets, and that is the Absolute of God’s love.  All else moves with the soul and is part of it.  One veil is lifted but to reveal another veil of an even more enthralling color.  Pursuit of the unattainable is the climate of Heaven.

There is no end of knowledge in Heaven, no end of learning.  The soul pursues new knowledge and learns forever.  It does not stand like a marble image confronting changelessness.  Its face is eternally lit with the fires and the colors of new universes and new aspirations and new adventures.  It clamors to know.  Yet, it can never know completely, and that is its reward.  God is like an earthly father who constantly places new riddles before his children, and smiles as they eagerly guess its secrets and learn its answers.  There are always new books to read, new wonders to excite the imagination, new vistas to explore.

When you were in Heaven you declared that this finally wearied you, for, you said, Heaven was like a ball of silk which was never fully unwound and there was no hope of the unwinding.  In short, you wished to make Heaven a hell, where there is absolute fulfillment, and there is nothing more to be attained.  A state of stasis is surely hell, as you have discovered to your sorrow.  You wished to sleep, you said, and you rested on your great white wings of light, but you did not sleep.  You wished to peer and understand that which is not understandable, even by archangels.  You desired the ultimate.  Alas, Lucifer, you have attained it.  Your city resounds with success.  Why, then, are you not content?

Today new worlds in time were born about one of my largest stars in my Galaxy.  You will, without doubt, visit them and attempt to corrupt their people.  I pray that you will fail, not only for the sake of God but for your own sake.

Your brother, Michael

GREETINGS to my brother, Michael, who is very tender and brave but, alas, most naive:

. . . If my entry into heaven must be accompanied by the souls of men, then I prefer my hells.  At least there I torment my insulters and the insulters of Our Father, and that is an exuberant delight, one, I fear, you will never know.

Delight!  Most assuredly!  It is a joy which I cannot explain in words you would understand.  Sufficient it is to say that I play with those souls as they played with their victims, and with the same mercilessness, only a thousand times enhanced.  When they beseech me for pity I listen with ecstasy to their cries.  Beasts, animals!  To think that they, too, possess immortal life!  They grovel before me and clutch my garments and I spurn them with my foot.  Sometimes I admit a few of their wisest to my dark tabernacle and converse with them for the pleasure of listening to their stupidity, their arrant foolishness.  Often I summon the great among them and urge them to speak of their fame on Terra, and it is an enormous amusement.  They say to me, “I did not believe in you, nor in God, yet you manifestly are,” and they marvel.  I conjure their lies before them and I say, “There was I, in that apparition, when you planned this — or that — and you heard my voice and took rapture in it.  Why did you hearken to me, beast of beasts?”  They answer, falling before my face, “I believed in nothing but myself and my own grandeur and my own will.”  But they believed in me.

They repent.  But it is too late.  They came to me, not through august sins which at least possess a measure of grandeur and imagination, but through sins so mean and contemptible that they are below the comprehension of the lowest of creatures on Terra.  The serpent in the forest is not as poisonous as man, the rabid bat is not as mad and loathsome, the toothed shark is not so foul a scavenger,  For none of these can lie.  That is the prerogative of man only.  Man always takes on the aspect of the serpent, the bat and the shark, and their habits.  He is more dreadful than these, for he lacks their innocence and he knows what he does and he does it with enthusiasm and passion,  It is through his lies that man comes to me, his lies of the flesh and the spirit, for untruth is a perversion and man is a pervert.  He is the incarnation of the lie which is myself, and all the evil that he does is his corruption of truth.

. . .

My demons look upon the bountiful harvests of the souls of men who swarm through my fiery portals each hour, and they look with revulsion, for never, even among demons, was ever a spirit so malicious, so embued with hatred for his fellows, as the spirit of man.  In his life on Terra he prates of love and esteems it with his tongue as the greatest of virtues.  Yet never was a creature so loveless in his heart even when announcing love to the heavens.  He crowds before the altars he has raised to God, and the lie nestles in his flesh, and the repudiation and disbelief, and even when he cries “Hosannah!” he chuckles in secret at his own perfidy.  He loves that perfidy.  He believes it gives him intellectual stature.  He looks upon the crucified Lord and it needs no whisper from me to make him speak in his spirit and deny.  He has many arguments, and they amuse him.

Not all men, you would say.  Michael, Michael!  That miserable little stream which flows to heaven is hardly a trickle compared with the great river that pours down to me!

You have not seen their appalled faces when they encounter me, who greet them thus:  “Welcome to your spiritual home, you who have denied all things!”  Still, it is very strange.  Though they did not believe in Our Father, they truly believed in me, though they did not know it.  You serve only that in which you believe, with knowledge or without knowledge.  They would have been amazed to encounter you, Michael, and would have marveled.  But they do not marvel at me.  They recognize me at once.  They have seen my face countless times, and they know all my lineaments.  Nor is hell unfamiliar to them.  They created a mirage of it on Terra, and they know every alley, every darksome passage, every icy lake, every mountain of fire, every gloomy shadow, every city of death, every pool of corruption.  For while I established my hells, it was man who lifted up the walls and established the noisome places and lit the fires and froze the waters.  It is, therefore, no mystery that he recognizes every path and sits down in his chosen spot to weep and repent.  He built the house in which he dwells.  At least, that is a species of freedom, for man did not build heaven.  For in participation there is liberty, and complete liberty reigns in hell.  Have I not said it through the ages!  You have called my creatures slaves but slaves do not build to their design, and men build the designs of the infernos.  It is by God’s Grace when man reaches heaven, and not by his merits, and so perhaps not even his will.  But men will to dwell with me, and where there is will there is freedom.  Has not Our Father declared that, Himself?  He is the Paradox of paradoxes.

There are no contradictions in hell.  There are no wonders, for everything in hell is familiar to the souls of men.  There is the complete security which men have always craved on Terra, but which Our Father lovingly denies them, for God is the Creator of infinite and opposing variety, delicious contrast, innocent comicalities, awesome inequalities, enchanting absurdities, paradoxes, fearsome challenges, exciting uncertainties.  This, I admit, stimulates color and splendor and merriment and marvelings and stern beauties and liveliness and trembling anticipations.  But in hell there is nothing to anticipate; there is no variety, there is no insecurity.  There are pain and boredom, and boredom is the most monstrous of punishments.  Beside it, pain is a relief, so, despite the rumors of the ignorant on Terra, there is little pain in my hells except for futile regret.  There is no future, yet there is time.  Endless time, and endless sameness.

The pious in Terra speak only of the agonies of hell, and they exist for they are pleasure.  Have they seen my glorious cities, bewitching, extravagant?  They are filled with the delights of Terra, but immeasurably enhanced.  Millions, newly arrived, look upon them with eagerness and smiles, and rush to inhabit them.  The lavish city in which I live is a city that lived in the hot imaginations of men, filled with every satisfaction of their vile hearts, every concupiscent lust of their flesh, every dream of their envious hearts.  There are glittering houses heaped with gleaming treasures, and ballrooms and arenas and theaters and stadia, and shops to make any merchant weep with greed, and towering castles of every perversion and streets of magnitude filled with music, and tables everywhere crowded with saucy viands and bottomless vessels of wine, and demons to be slavish lackeys.  There are vistas of heroic mountains like alabaster, and sparkling forests vibrating with song and valleys lush as velvet and rivers like gilt.  Here souls of the damned are free to come and go, to sport, to converse, to play, to partake of all my captivations.  They are free to argue their childish controversies, to engage in the pursuits that enthralled them on Terra, to discuss strange things with the inhabitants of worlds of which they never dreamed, to invent new theories and excited hypotheses, to “seduce” beautiful female demons.  There is not an alluring vice that is denied them, not a passion which is not immediately gratified.  Ah, I tell you, Michael, they often mistake hell for heaven at first!

But pleasure never changes in hell, never diminishes, can never aspire to greater diversions such as exalted meditation and reflection; never knows an end.  Nothing is withheld; there is no struggle; there are no heart-burnings, no room for ambition and achievement.  All is equal; all is accessible to every soul.   There is no applause, for no soul exceeds another in stature.  No face is different from any other face, nothing is unique or creative or deserving of acclaim.  No soul is worthy, for all are worthless.  Each is clad in the robes of doom — unchanging uniformity.  Where one soul cannot excel another in any fashion ennui results and a mysterious terror, for God created all souls to strive and excel and thus be free and develop priceless individuality.  But, it is my democracy.

At last, in despair and desperate boredom, my doomed pray for the less attractive portions of my sovereignty, where there is pain, and weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Grief, at the final hour, becomes more desirable than pleasure, for it has endless ramifications.  At the last I can engage these damned in my service — the seduction of souls yet living on Terra.  At least there is some excitement in this!  Envy and hatred and resentment are enlisted in my employ, for who of the damned can rejoice to see a soul escape him?  What rejoicings there are in hell when more of the corrupted fall into the pit!  If the Heavenly Hosts are joyous when a soul is saved, how much more are the damned joyous when a soul falls!  Do not ask me why.  Did I create man?  His perverted mind often makes me recoil with disgust.  You would say I perverted him.  No, I only tempt.

With what glee my damned introduce the newly doomed to my hells!  They look upon their dismayed faces and hug themselves with rapture.  They peer for tears, and drink them avidly.  They take the newly doomed by the hand and shout with happiness at the recoiling when horrors are confronted.  This is the only satisfaction in hell, and it is a satisfaction most deeply encouraged.

Eventually, they all crave death and extinction.  I am more compassionate than Our Father.  I would often give them true death.  But Our Father cursed them with eternal life, and so who is, in truth, the most merciless?  God cannot withdraw from His own Law, therefore He cannot rescue my damned.  When He gave immortality to man, did He know to what He had condemned him?  Alas, alas, there are times when I would grant them death.  Is your question then not answered?  I am no Paradox, as is Our Father.  Had I created man — God forbid!  I should not have given him the free will to be damned if he desired.  I should have made him obedient and docile, a gay little creature who could not know the difference between good and evil and therefore could have had no life but one brief day in the sun.  I should have made him truly mortal, like a mayfly who takes pleasure in the noon and at sunset folds his wings and drifts into dust.

You once told me that hell is hell because no love can dwell there, and love is impossible.  That is true.  But love is passive and hatred is active, and man is always active like an insect which can never be still.  Therefore, Michael, I shall win at last, for man is invariably enthusiastic and zealous, and languishes only when there is nothing to hate.

Your brother, Lucifer
