My wife and I just finished watching a new movie called The Box starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden and the only word that I can find to describe this movie is pathetic. The Box is a thinly veiled attempt to foist old world spirituality and dogma on unsuspecting viewers. It starts interestingly enough with a gentlemen (a.k.a the serpent, we later realize) who delivers a box with a red button (the apple) to a couple (Adam and Eve) with an offer (a temptation). The offer is simple. Press the button and somebody you don’t know is going to die. The temptation? If you press the button, you get a million dollars. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey Billy Bonka
Standing at the altar
Spreading your profit seed far and wide
Do you think you’re special?
Did ya say you wanna?
Play a little savior for a while~
Talk about some love.
Tell us of the hour.
Show us that it’s you that knows the way.
Drink the power that is offered.
See the money in the coffers.
You’ll sell the people to the highest who will pay
But you should listen, sleeping prophet
Times have changed, no longer suffer’t
Yet I fear you will not listen on this day.
But should you fail to heed the calling
Soon shall the angel come a knocking
And two coins will see you through, ankers away.

Here is a post from our family blog at http://ginaandmike.thelightningpath.com/
Thought it was appropriate here as well
We don’t make any secret that we are very spiritual people. This is not in the traditional sense of course. In our humble opinion traditional religions and traditional spirituality are quite oppressive. They usually come with some statements intended to diminish you (like you’re a dummy for eating the apple, your evil and need to be punished, you’re too stupid to live your life right and universal karma is going to get you for it), they often threaten you (i.e. you’ll go to hell, have bad karma, be “extinguished”) if you don’t do what you are told, and oftentimes pass right into the arena of physical (spare the rod…) and psychological abuse (threatening to burn somebody for an eternity simply for making a few mistakes is the definition of psychological abuse!). The message of old world spirituality is clear, you’re a dumb shit and you need to learn your lessons before you graduate and move on and if that means you have to suffer, live in poverty, endure war and hardship, then so be it. That’s the way “God” organized it. Read the rest of this entry »

I was inspired to right (or write) this after one too many emails from profiteering shysters trying to make a buck off of people’s fear and confusion. I was also inspired out of frustration that despite the fact that the ancient Mayans said absolutlely nothing about the significance of 2012, even otherwise smart people have gotten caught up in the hype. I know at least a half a dozen otherwise respectable academics who are now proselytizing about some great shift that is happening as a result of evolutionary, genetic, or cosmic forces. It’s too bad. I just hope that when 2012 comes and goes and the world exists pretty much as it does now, the people who were sucked into buying the books and going to the conferences learn to discern their information sources a bit better and perhaps ask why 2012 was latched onto as a significant date. It’s propaganda and mind control of very deep and sophisticated type and not even full professors with publication credits ten feet long are immune. My advice? Remember who fell for it and make a mental note not to listen to them again. Read the rest of this entry »

You know, over the years I’ve heard a lot of weird things come out of the mouth’s of “spiritual teachers” and others who assume (or is that presume) to don the mantel of spiritual authority, but I gotta say some of the recent comments by channelers and so called spiritual experts about the “deeper meaning” of the Haitian disaster take the proverbial cake. I mean, certainly when something bad like that happens we want to think that there is a reason to the senseless suffering. Two hundred thousand men women and innocent children crushed to death beneath the rocks of shoddily constructed building must have some deeper meaning, correct? Thousands and thousands of babies and infants left orphaned and starving must be serving a higher purpose.
But what is it?
What is the deeper meaning and the higher purpose of crushed skulls and broken bones? Read the rest of this entry »

I wonder when all the sleepy people on this world are going to wake up and see the kind of world we live in. I ask because I’m been thinking for the past couple days about this recent headline
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090624/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_nuclear_911
Now here’s a country with honest to God Weapons of Mass Destruction, with an honest to God stated intent to use them, and I’m wondering why the mainstream media is focussed on a dead pedophile to the exclusion of what could be the lead up to the biggest series of stories since the end of WWII.
North Korea has said that any attempt to interfere with their shipping or transport will be considered an act of war.
North Korea has threatened to wipe the US off the map.
I seems obvious to me, North Korea is building up to war.
And I said it months in my Black October podcast, it looks like the rest of the world is preparing as well. Why else transfer trillions of dollars of public funds into the hands of private bankers, as Bush did last year when he triggered the economic recession we are all currently struggling with, if not to prepare a cash flow to fund a global war? And let’s not mention all the awesome training the troops have been getting in Iraq, a conflict we all know was based on lie after lie after damned bloody lie. It seems to me that everything is in place now for what will probably be the biggest conflict this world has ever seen And what’s most sickening about it to me is, the evidence that it is being orchestrated is right in front of our eyes. Yet nobody sees. Everybody is distracted by “light ships” and Ashtar and dead pedophiles and The Family Guy, and falling stocks and all the while the people that run this world are bringing us, step by step, towards a ugly and deadly global conflict.

It occurred to me the other day that this whole big “The Secret” phenomenon, what with the “law of attraction” and all that other hokum, has done more to damage the cause of spirituality and awakening on this earth than anything else in recent memory.
I mean think about it.
A couple years ago some yoyo+friends decided to put together a DVD telling the world how all you have to do is stay passive, positive, and “attract” and the universe, which doesn’t deal in negatives (tell that to all those people losing their homes), will send you what you want. It’s that easy, said the man who was almost crying at the thought of how he had “attracted,” via a vision board, his multi-million dollar California mansion.
Now, fast forward a few years and the globe is in economic crises. I know several people on the brink of financial collapse and the state of California is so badly off that Mr. Terminator himself has suggested legalizing marijuana as a way to cope with the catastrophic budget shortfalls.

I’d like to say that the persistence and tenacity of the illusion is stunning, but I can’t. I’m not surprised. We have created such a powerful system of illusion and suppression that it is no wonder it is so hard to break out of. Somebody could walk right up to you and say, hey this is the truth, and if that truth didn’t fit into one of the pre-categorized little “truth boxes” created for you by your parents, your school, the media, and your universities, you probably wouldn’t even hear it. It would go in one oblivious ear and out the other and you would continue on in your slow spiral downwards towards the inevitable death of your physical body.
The question is, is that what you want?
Do you believe that all the pain and suffering and death on this earth is the inevitable result of the natural, cosmological, or divine constitution of this universe?
Do you want to end your days on this earth in the sucky old world illusion of pain, duality, and suffering?
If so then all I have to say to you is, good bye. Read the rest of this entry »
