7 Questions Pertaining To Organized Religion

One True Faith

If God loves each of his children, why would He reveal His truth to only one faith

Isn't belief in superiority of your faith hypocritical, seeing that God commanded

his children to love all men?

People are different. How can you make the claim that one faith is best for

everyone?

How do we know whose interpretation of the bible is correct?

In the scriptures we are invited to have a personal relationship with God. Many of

the biblical figures found God on a mountaintop or in the desert. Why do we need

to go to a specific building to be close to God?

Tithing

Why does the church handle our tithes and offerings?

Why can’t we be trusted to use that money in good ways?

Priests

What qualifies your priest or pastor to speak on behalf of God.

Each of us are children of God. Why can’t we receive revelation directly from

Him?

How can we trust a priest or a prophet who has obvious imperfections?

Why do I need someone to tell me what to believe?

 A Petition for the Retirement of the Priesthood

For untold years the priesthood has kept religious knowledge carefully guarded, thus

keeping the people of the congregation in ignorance of God and of the revelations of the

scriptures.

Little by little, however, thanks to the godly efforts of such as Wylliam Tyndale, the word

of the Lord has been given unto us all.

Why must we follow after a perverse priesthood when the word of the Lord is available

to us all? Why need we the interpretations of old men, when each man woman and child

can read the word for themselves?

Has not God endowed each of us with his Holy Spirit? Is this not the Holy Spirit of the

Truth that enlightens the mind of each who comes into the world?

Are we not baptized with the same baptism of those priests?

God will enlighten our minds and lift up our hearts. We can break the yokes that these

priest have placed over our heads. We can depart from their tithings and offerings and

find the truth through out relationship with the Holy One of Israel and the Father of us

all.

There is no need for the priesthood authority to continue as we are all brothers and

sisters and children of God. Therefore I petition for the retirement of that tradition and

the ushering in of a common age, in which we can stand shoulder to shoulder and hand

in hand and search for God's light as it illuminates our soul.

May all Men and Women of the church join together hand in hand and soul with soul, to

worship the Lord and God of this earth. With no intermediary between us and our God.
May we rise together and take back our equality as children of our Heavenly Father and

our Lord Jesus Christ and let us be one before Him who knows and loves us all.

An Advertisement From A New Church and Inclusive Ministry

Hosana! Blessed Be The Name of God. The Great Spirit of Love and Peace!

He Loves You and He Knows You!!!

We are just a group of believers with a message of compassion and love. Jesus Christ

loved and accepted everyone, dining with Jew and Gentile and loving people like you,

regardless of their personal choices.

Our Ministry seeks to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ to transform our culture of

hatred, racism, violence into a loving and healing group of believers. We make no

judgements on personal behaviors and preferences, but preach love and truth as Jesus

did when He was on the earth.

We reach out in inclusivity to people from all walks of life. Our one and steadfast rule is

that there be love and acceptance of all people and all different life journeys.

Whoever you are

Wherever you are on your journey

You are welcome here

 Addendum for the New Church and Inclusive Ministry

As beliefs and interpretations of the scriptural narratives vary from person to

person, we do not believe that it is appropriate to subscribe to any commandments or

religious rites and rituals in the specific.

We encourage believers to read spiritual texts both modern and ancient and

decide for themselves how to come to God.

We will not practice any specific rites or rituals, such as baptism or the

sacrament, as have been practiced in the past. We do, however, welcome any of our

congregation members to join in mutual love and acceptance of different cultural,

sexual, and spiritual preferences.

The only things to be judged harshly are harsh judgements

The only people who are a threat are those who threaten others

The only unacceptable beliefs are the beliefs that exclude others
 Notice From Pastor James To The Judicial Remnants of the Church

As is expressed in Matthew 7, a good tree can be known by its fruit. People have

different desires and act in different ways, but the Lord is clear. Any way you choose to

live is acceptable if the end result is good for you. The Lord Himself told us to Judge not

That we be not judged. We should practice the same inclusive acceptance in our

relationships with others.

Beliefs that are exclusive contribute to serious harm in peoples’ lives. Jesus

Christ was the model of inclusion of all people. From the inclusion of Gentiles,

prostitutes, and publicans to the forgiveness of pagans and Romans, Christ was the

epitome of Love, Kindness, and mercy.

During the first years of the church believers believed that the earth was the

center of the universe. Later data from scientists and Galileo's telescope revealed that

the earth rotated around the sun. The Church tradition has been wrong about the truth

multiple times. The church has later updated beliefs to the scientific truth, and that has

made the doctrine of the church no less valuable.

In like manner, the beliefs of the church will continue to update until all are

allowed into the fold. God loves us all! All are welcome into the fold of God and into His

heaven. Let us lay aside our judgements and accept all as they are and look to God as

they move to what they would become.

 Notice to All the Church on the Subject of Certain Recreative Substances

There is nothing in the teachings of Jesus Christ or in the christian faith that

would prohibit the use of drugs for recreational purposes.

We the clergy, however, recognize the dangers that these substances present

and urge faithful members to utilize these substances responsibly.

We recommend never using mind altering substances alone. Bringing along a

friend or a brother of the church can help assure your security.

We also recommend using these substances in a spirit of holiness, as such use

can bring one closer to God. Many have told us of the positive effects of such

experiences and the increasing of their faith in the Lord through particular visions and

dreams.

If used in such a spirit, these substances may even constitute a sacrament.

 Reprimand from the Highest Authority of the Church

We are appalled to hear reports of certain judgements that are being made by

members of our faith toward other participants of the faith.

As is written in Romans “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”. We

have heard reports of ostracization and judgment in our congregation. This unChristlike

judgement appears to derive from a false interpretation of biblical teachings that man

and woman should be wedded before engaging in sexual relations one with another.

Now living together before marriage affords a variety of benefits. Premarital

cohabitation is considered one of the factors that decrease divorce rates. You should

know your partner well before deciding on marriage. What better way to get to know

them than by living together for a while. Think of it as a test or preparation for the long

term commitment of marriage.

My prayer is that we can put aside our judgements of others and become one in

the body of Christ. Encourage couples that are trying to create a life together, for what

increases life is good. Any professed believer of Christ that passes judgment on another

is a hypocrite and denier of the very spirit of the faith. In that light, any reports of

judgment against fellow members of the faith will be excommunicated.

 The Metaphor of the Bible

In ages past many have held to a literal interpretation of the bible as a foundation

of their faith. We appreciate this faith and appreciate that much of scientific knowledge

has risen from biblical principles and dreams. This literal interpretation has, however,

become more and more difficult to support given recent scientific discoveries.

Many believe that we will lose nothing or very little by abandoning the biblical

stories entirely. Persuasive as this argument has been, we would like to offer a new

perspective.

The bible is a compilation of stories that has accumulated across a vast period of

time. These stores have a coherent arc from the beginning to the end. Within these

stories are the remnants of ancestral lessons passed from generation to generation.

These lessons are encapsulated in stories, metaphors, and fictional characters. This is

similar to a great novel or fairy tale.

We believe that much of what we have of value in Idumea was built upon this

metaphor and it is difficult to tell how much we would lose if we were to retire the story

entirely. Let us continue this conversation, not of the literal truth of the bible, but of the

value of the metaphor. I hope we can come to some valuable conclusions about what

that metaphor's role should be in ethical striving in the personal and social realm.
 Science is the Method of Arriving at all Truth

Science is more than a religion. Science deals with facts about reality. It is the way that

we understand the world.

For some time many have claimed that they have a metaphysical source of truth. A

spirit that speaks directly to the heart and mind. A supposed spirit of truth!

How can a personal message from an unknown messenger be a source of objective

truth? Messengers and prophets arise and fall, each saying contradictory things. How

can you know which of these messengers from God are correct?

And if one is correct, does not that mean that the others are false? But each believer in

each faith would claim the same. There is a spirit of doubt. There is a questioning for all

of these ideologies, just not the one your parents held.

Now why don’t we take that same spirit of questioning and turn it toward your own faith?

You know the muslims are wrong about the status of the quran. Why do you believe

that? Well, obviously, Muhammad was not taking dictation directly from God, for what

loving God would require such barbarism in His name. Lets then apply the same line of

thinking to the status of the bible for the Jews and the Christians.

Now this does not mean that the bible does not have important truths to tell us.

There are remnants of wisdom of the past that we can resurrect, but the value of these

remnants is completely overshadowed by the obvious downsides and conflicts created

by irreconcilable belief systems.

 The Retirement of Religious Stories

The religious stories and the scientific enterprise are at irreconcilable odds with one

another. Every progress that science has made refutes an antiquated religious dogma

completely, solidifying the unbelievability of the stories.

The beginning of the bible asserts that the universe was brought into being in seven

days. The absurdity of this idea is self-evident. This is further complicated by the

assertion by many religious leaders that the earth is only seven thousand years old.

This comes from the story of revelations in which seven seals are opened, each

representing a thousand year period.

Science contains all of the virtues of a religion without any of the obvious downsides.

The answers religion provides about who we are and where we come from are robbed

of any comforting power by the insecurity of the veracity of their source. As science is

firmly grounded in the factual realm, its answers will always beat the answers religion

has to offer. Let us look to a real source of answers for the questions we have about the

universe. I propose retirement of the religious stories and a new age of scientific inquiry

about the questions we don’t have the answers to, as a few good answers are better

than a plethora of bad ones.

 Formal Notice the Organized Priesthoods of All Faiths

Due to abundant evidence of the dangers associated with the power dynamics in

relationships between formal church authorities and their followers, we are notifying you

that any organized faith leadership, clergy, or priesthood will be abolished effective

immediately.

This abolishment includes prophets, priests, rabbis, deacons, teachers, elders,

etc. Any formal leadership of the faith is to be abandoned immediately.

Congregations are welcome to gather as a group of like believers in productive

conversation, but no faith leaders will be elected or otherwise chosen out of the

congregation.

This is an official notice, which is backed by the force of law. Any congregation

failing to comply with this notice will close its doors and its clergy will be prosecuted.
 Postmodernism - an Overview

The first premise of postmodern philosophy is that there is no objective reality. If

all reality is subjective it is impossible to make universal value judgements. This

excludes all values and other information that could be derived from the collective

experience of all humanity and forces you to create every premise for yourself from

scratch without any guidance. It also negates any underlying spiritual existence of

humanity or life after death because that would be and objective shared experience

between all sentient beings. Without the possibility of these collective objective realities

it is impossible to create a reliable hierarchy of values or to find profound meaning in a

real existence.

The second postmodern premise is that statements made by scientists and

historians cannot be objectively true or false. This obliterates any knowable truth that

can be found from science or history. What is truth? This is what we have to consider.

This was the question posed to Christ by Pilot before the crucifixion and it is the

question that is posed to us today. Is there any truth to be found in science and history?

The Oxford Languages dictionary defines truth as “that which is true or in accordance

with fact or reality.” So we see the postmodern philosophy progress. No objective reality.

No scientific or historic truth. This is in direct contrast with the presupposition of

meaning that we exist in a self continuous reality. History can help us find meaning in

the actions of our past and our fathers past. These actions affect us and can guide us to

make better decisions. Science helps us understand the reality of the world around us,

which then influences our decisions. Without any value in knowledge of the past or
knowledge of the world around us, it would be impossible to find meaning as this

meaning is in relation to our ancestors and the natural world.

The third postmodern premise is that science and technology—and even reason

and logic—are inherently destructive and oppressive. Science, reason and logic are all

forms that place limits on reality according to the truth. If all reality is subjective then any

of these limitations are seen as oppressive and specifically untrue. We can see these

ideas manifesting themselves in movements such as the transgender movement, where

biological realities and limitations are seen as constraining and oppressive. This is also

echoed in the idea of the patriarchy, where white males are considered to be oppressing

people systematically in all fields. Reality is in nature constraining, because if one idea

is true it implicitly means that all contradicting ideas are in some element untrue;

however, they are not oppressive tools used to control people. If one acts in accordance

to reality, they receive the predictable benefits of a life lived according to truth. If one

chooses to act against reality and truth found in science, reason, and logic there will be

destructive consequences.

Another premise of postmodernism is that there is no inherent human nature and

all aspects of human psychology are completely socially determined. Human beings

have an identity as children of God and qualities such as sex, identity, and existence

have been a part of being for all eternity and they will never change. There are

meaningful truths about the nature of humans that are substantiated biologically through

all of evolutionary history.

Postmodernism also claims that language does not represent any reality outside

of itself. It arrives at this claim because words have multiple meanings and there are
infinite interpretations of any given text. This idea is actually true. Where the

postmodernists take a wrong turn is when they press the idea further and say each of

these interpretations is of equal value. There is a hierarchy of values in each existing

plane of perception. If this were not the case it would be impossible to make a decision

because each factor in the decision making process would be of equal value. We

naturally create a hierarchy of values to collect information and make decisions. This

hierarchy of values arranges the infinite possible interpretations of any given text so that

the most fundamental interpretation providing the most truth about reality orients itself at

the top of the hierarchy.

The Postmodernists further argue that humans cannot acquire knowledge about

natural reality. This is an objection to any continuity of the self. Humans can acquire

knowledge about natural reality. Natural reality exists and that which I do today affects

who I will be tomorrow.

The culmination of these postmodern claims is that any theory in the domain of

philosophy, psychology, science, or history by nature imposes conformity on other

perspectives or discourses. Thus all theories are pernicious, not only because they are

false, but because they are oppressive, marginalizing, and silencing.

 Rejection of Social Normalcy

This is a manifesto!

A declaration of sorts.

A call to rebellion and a rejection of monotony. A rejection of norms. A rejection of

society!!!

We are individuals! No one of us are alike!

We are citizens of the world! Bonded together by our individuality!

We do not need tradition to dictate what we will do.

You do not need patriarchs and elders confining what you can be.

Free yourself from their shackles! Don’t hide your face from the light! You are beautiful!

You are brave! You are perfect exactly as you are!

This is a manifesto!

A declaration of sorts.

A call to rebellion and a rejection of monotony.

 A Liberation of Marriage

Legal Marriage is a secular institution and should be available to everyone,

despite their sexual attraction.

Marriage has historically been defined as the legal or formal union between a

man and woman as life long partners in a personal relationship. This definition has long

been overly restrictive, mostly as a consequence of the addled thinking and prejudice

that accompanied religious belief.

Thankfully this religious belief has been surpassed by the excellent and useful

efforts of modern philosophers and scientists, who have allowed us to escape rigid

views of truth and sociality.

One of these rigid social constraints has been the institution of marriage. Part of

this rigidity has come from a religious definition based on a false story about Adam and

Eve in union under god.

Now we have no need for these superstitions and myths. Now that we have

abolished such delusions we can liberate our social institutions, starting with the

institution of marriage and sexual relations.

May it be known that from this point any person, pair, or group may obtain a

marriage license or divorce. No discrimination will be applied in the issuing of said

license.
 Guidelines for the education of children and adolescents

Rule 1 - Listen. The children will let you know what they want to be taught.

Rule 2 - Recognize that there is no solid truth. Be open to all perspectives on

every issue.

Rule 3 - learn from your students. They have more to teach you than you have to

teach them.

Rule 4 - respect your students self identity. Never say anything that does not

affirm that identity.

Rule 5 - Speech can be violent. Never do anything that makes your students feel

uncomfortable.

Rule 6 - How offensive is the word truth. Anyone caught teaching the truth is an

oppressor and will be removed.

A true education creates open minded individuals, free from the dogmas

and preconceptions best into them by religion and tradition. This education will

instill a healthy skepticism for tradition and any decisions of higher authority.
 Legal Notice

All educators are required to comply with the guidelines for the education of

children and adolescents. Any deviation from these official guidelines will be regarded

as insubordination and will result in the loss of the perpetrator’s education license.

Any teaching that seeks to change or influence a student's thoughts, self identity

or actions will be regarded as malicious and discriminatory. Any discrimination will result

in a loss of the educator's license.

Any teaching that seeks to present an objective view of the world will be seen as

authoritarian. Any authoritarian teachings will result in the loss of the educator's license.
 New Religion: The World of Man

Day 1 - Some time near 3100 AD

I spent the day wandering the streets. The sun was particularly hot today and I
retreated often to empty buildings and trees to find shade.

I didn’t find very much. A few of the traps I had set earlier in the week had mice,
which I skinned and cooked over a fire I made.

There is dust everywhere. Windowless buildings stare out at me, traumatized by the
memories of man who used to live within its walls.

Dust.

That is the whole of the truth.

Everything our fathers believed. Everything that they knew.

All is Dust.

I saw a part of a wall the other day. Someone passing through had marked the
initials of someone they had buried there. A mother or a brother.

For us it was a father, but we did not bury him.

We ate him.

And now there is nothing at all to eat but dust. Dust is everywhere. Dust stares out
at me from windowless buildings.

Dust.

That is the whole of the truth.

Day 2
Today I passed through the middle of two camps out in a field.

There was hardly anything to eat in the field and these camps must have, of
necessity, moved along years ago.

But they could not move. They were all covered in a layer of gray stone. Grey
statues was all that they were.

One camp was full of stone children in a stream. running . Playing. Never growing
old. But they had grown old in their play. They were but old gray statues pretending
to run and play. They did not know, but they had long died and God had called
them up to heaven.
But they could not go up, for the playing that they were so engaged in.

So they had turned to stone all too soon.

Their parents stood off in another camp. Their hearts had turned to stone with
their children's play long ago. They were angry with this play because their knees
were weak and too tired to play. They were jealous of their children's play things so
they had cast them away to never see them again.

But they could not cast them out of their minds.

So they were tortured by playing visions of mind children. So they put stones in
their ears and stones in their eyes and stones in their mouth to stop these mind
children. But the stone was too much a burden for these.

Who can live with a stone in their throat and a cold unmoving heart.

These must have been strange camps indeed. Children that had played in their
stream until their play was too heavy for them. In their water they came again to
stone from the stone they had been cut.
Fathers and mothers who would not drink from that stream. They had only to rot
away with their stony heart.

But it seems much time to move on. And I am afraid to camp between these
generations. I must move on though I may in time be of a stony heart as well. Then I
may come back and rest with these men of stone. But I must move on now. For I
am very afraid of these fathers and sons and the shadows they will cast in the dusk
light.

DAY 3
There is a wind today. The greatest of winds. A wind that blows away anyone in the
street and carries them away to another land.

There is a fire today. The greatest of fires. A fire that burns the body. A fire that
burns the soul. This hungry fire eats and eats.

There are hungry men today the join together house to house until all is left
desolate and they are left alone in the midst of the land.

These houses stretch and stretch across the land. A maze of houses with
connecting tunnels so that the owner can walk around and see a new house every
single day. He never wants to stop connecting these houses because he never
wants to sleep in the same house again.

What suffering that would be.

To sleep in the same bed night after night. To see the same face in the same mirror.
No. This sort of man must join house to house until all is left desolate and they are
left alone in the midst of the land.

Yet other men are hungry men with a hunger that cannot be satisfied. There is not
grain enough in the world to satisfy them. They have all of the cake in the world. To
amuse themselves and eat cake is all they must do for the rest of their lives.

But this is too heavy for them, these cakes. Oh how they cry for their cakes. How
sorry they are about their cakes! They are in pain and are very sad. They suffer so
for their cake. They say “No man can understand how we suffer with our cake. A
starving man could not understand it. Neither a wise man, for their wisdom is
foolishness unto us and all of their speaking has come to be as the tinkling of fine
brass. For we would so much more eat cake than wisdom. These heavy heavy
cakes.”
Some men join together house to house and some men eat cakes. But some men
don’t eat anything and do not live, even under a tent. How a cake would lift the
spirits of these men.
Day 4

I passed through a dark place today. A place full of shadow people who lived
just around the corner. These people had a small slave that they chained to
themselves. This slave was for one a symbol and for another a law. These chained
slaves were for all of the injustice in the world. They represented the dictators in
foreign lands. They were the enemy at the border and the enemy in the heart.

In a secret place there was a ritual of these shadow people. They had twenty
chains nailed to twenty posts where twenty people were constrained. Twenty
strong men held twenty stones and beat upon these people night and day.

These twenty strong men were for husbands and these twenty beaten were
for wives. These walked in circles and beat each other until circles filled the world.
Circles and circles and circles and circles

And one dragon lived below this holy temple fo these shadow people. This
was the shadow dragon. This was the dragon that no man would confront. This was
the dragon which no man would kill. This was the dragon with an iron brand to
brand his symbol upon every human heart. The hearts of them who beat and the
hearts of the beaten down. To convert the beaten down to the smiter and the
smiter to the beaten down. To convert the unknown to the liar and the liar to the
dark father. The father with many robes and honors who teaches from the book of
lies and preaches from the stand of lies. And this preaching to the smiters who
smite and the smiters proselyte to the smitten. And thus the smitten is made smiter
and the smiter is made smitten and all are dark father for the dragon with the iron
brand. Each with their symbol on each human heart.

But converts to the dragon were not simply shadowy people who beat with
stones. In every church there must be a priest and for every priest there must be a
special and saintly priest for the unholy and the perverse ritual.
 Groves upon groves. All of these rituals were as a grove. Men of dark design.
Priests of the highest ritual of the dragon. Groves upon Groves. A dark design. A
virgin child. A virgin child. A dark design. Groves upon Groves upon Groves.

A grove for the dark father and the priest of the dragon and the virgin child. A
grove for the stranger in the night and the stranger waiting in the night. A grove for
the children of the highest high priest. A grove for the husband lying in wait. The
dark husband is the son of the dark priest. Who is the son of the dragon. Who is no
more a son.

But wo unto the child. The virgin child. For when she has long screamed
through her eyes and when she has long seen with her tongue and when she has
long run with her mind she will be left desolate and her city will be bare and she will
starve without any to give her to eat.

Wo unto this child. The virgin child. For when she has seen her mother
ravaged and when she has seen her sisters distraught she will seek the children of
the ravager. She will find those priests of that dark father and she will pray with
them in dark pews. She will seek and she will find and she will be damned for her
seeking and she will be damned for her finding.

Oh for your finding, say these old fathers, we will sacrifice you and damn you
to our great father. Our great dragon. We will give you knives for you to cut into
your wrists. We will take your children and we will give them up unto the same. We
will cut into your stomach and see what we may find there. We will cut into your
brain to look for your soul. We will cut into your heart.
Day 5

What great professors do they have in the community I was in today. These were
the great professors of the ideas of the Not. All men of this great academia believe
in the Not and preach the Not. And this is the doctrine of the Not.

MAY ALL KNOW THE DOCTRINE OF THE NOT

FIRST PRINCIPLE AND ORDINANCE

All men must veritably know that all of the world is just a dream within a dream.
These dreamers dream and dream and we are just the dream of that dream. All
have their own dream and each is an individual dream. These dreams are guarded
by a high wall, yea a high wall indeed. No man can see this dream. No man can
believe it. It is your dream. It is your dream. It is your dream. It is your dream. It is
your dream. It is your dream.

No man can know this dream. No man shares this dream. It is your dream. It is your
dream. It is your dream.

Time will not age this dream. No time will touch this dream. It is your dream. It is
your dream. It is your dream.

SECOND PRINCIPLE AND ORDINANCE

All men have their own dreams and their own god. All men have a god and
they have a right to worship their god in their own way and right. Men may have
one god or a pantheon of gods, but all men must have their god.

gods are as men and men are as gods. This is the truth of men and gods.
gods are as men and men are as gods. This is the truth of men and gods.

But many are gods and gods are many. In the beginning there was man who
lived in his own dream. And man created the dream of the heaven and the dream
of the earth.
 And man created god after his own image and after the image of man
created he them. And man breathed into god the breath of life and formed him a
body out of the dust of the earth. Out of the dust of the earth was he formed.

And man placed his god in a walled garden and gave his god a special
commandment. A great commandment and a commandment of commandments.

And if god brake even the least of these commandments, man would brake
him up and cast him out to darkness. Where he would in no wise return. And he
would form a new god from his ashes and there would be weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
THIRD PRINCIPLE AND ORDINANCE
What is truth?
What is truth?
What is truth?

A wise ruler once asked this wise question to a disrupter.

A Disrupter of the public peace.
What is truth?

Is there truth in the trees?

What are trees?
Is there truth in the clouds?
What are clouds?

From whence is man?

What is man?
Is there truth in a man?
What is man?

What is truth?
What is truth?
What is truth?
Is there truth with my father?
Who is my father?
Is there truth with my mother?
Who is my mother?
Is there truth with my brothers and sisters?
I know not my brothers and sisters?

What is truth?
What is truth?
What is truth?

FOURTH PRINCIPLE AND ORDINANCE

All who cry for truth are the children of that diabolical devil. But the devil in
the mist. The devil in the abstract. For there is no devil and I am none. But those
who cry truth truth truth. They are the blind ones. They are the fatherless. They are
are wont to catch with their evil wiles and the laying wait in the wilderness.

Some will cry for religion.

The devil is in their religion. They will to bind us down with the chains of right and
the shackles of wrong. Kill this religion. We will be free. The freedom of the roamer.
We will indeed be free. Free to wander in the field. Free to not eat and not starve.
Free to fly up to the sun with feathery wings and live up in the sky with the many
people who can fly. Free to fall on the sword. Free Free Free Free

Some will cry for science.

The earth is our mother and she has abandoned science. There is no order to her
ways. All of her moves are a mystery.

Free the earth from the shackles of the sciences! Free the earth from the terrors of
her law.

That all may live together as one. One species. One gender and type. One sex. All
are One.
Free our mother from her shackles. Give her her freedom that we may give her our
love.

Some will cry for technology

Know ye not that technology and progress are a tool of the powerful.
All is power. Indeed all is power.
Know ye not that technology and progress are a tool of the powerful.

Some will cry for reason and logic

Now these have become like echoing voices in a chamber and cave. Whose voice
returns from an age that has past.
Didst not thou murder your father. Did you not abandon him on his death bed.
I laugh at these seekers of reason and logic. Ha. For we are your children and you
are our fathers.

When you made your god and ate up the true and living god. The god now dead
and rotting under your feet. You are dead and rotting now. We have eaten you up
you dead and past men.

Now is our time. Now we will murder our father. Now we will leave you cold and
alone on thy bed of death. Now is our time.

But now you cry unto us “murderers” “murderers”. But are we not thy children. And
whose father taughtest thou us to kill. Did we not witness thy father drown in his
own blood with that promise to come again. Was it not thee whom we saw
thrusting thy knife into his throat. Whas it not his blood choked cry we heard “on
the third day I will rise again?”

DAY 6
Behold and hearken unto me as I tell unto you of the great spirit. The great
sleeping spirit. Many men are in the great sleeping spirit. And the great spirit of
great sleep.

This sleeping spirit is the worship of all of the men that inhabited towns and
cities where I walked today and this was the spirit of sleeping.

And this was the prayer to the great sleeping spirit and the worship of the
spirit of great sleep:

Oh great sleeping spirit and spirit of great sleep

We will give away to you our convictions
We will give away our purpose and belief to you
Thou art the great sleeping spirt

Oh great sleeping spirit and spirit of great sleep

When the morning coms and the light calls us out of the darkness
We are wont to sleep
Keep us in the dark Oh great spirit of sleep

Keep our senses dim Oh great sleeping spirit of deep sleep

That we see not with our eyes
That we hear not with our ears
That we come not with our legs

That we may be not be healed

That this wound
That this holy wound
May lay maggot infested and rotting forever
That We may be blind to this wound
This holy wound

That our children me eat out of our wound

 And may build their own wound
And may sleep forever
And let none awaken them

Grant us sleep
Grant us sleep
Grant us eternal sleep

Oh great sleeping spirit and spirit of great sleep

Let us hide under a sleeping stone
And in sleeping caves

And keep us away

When men come to search us out
Or when light comes to reach its hand
Through darkness and pain

Reaching its holy hand out to burn our tender consciousness

To burn and torture our tender mind with visions in the night
Keep us and protect us from these visions
From these revelations

Keep us from these great dreams

Oh great spirit of the great sleep
Keep us in our great sleep that is a dreamless and thoughtless sleep
Make no man torture us with their words

No man lord
No man
Oh great spirit of sleep
There is an Enemy to my sleep
There is a Great Enemy to my great sleep
The Greatest Enemy of all who wish to sleep and sleep
 Oh great spirit of sleep
Great spirit of great sleep
This is the Great Enemy that will not let me sleep
He will poke me and brush me awake

That I feel the pain of the light

That light that burns and blinds me
That discomforts my sleeping soul
Oh great spirit of great sleep

That Great Enemy of my great sleep

This Great Enemy wars with me day and night
And wars with thee oh great sleeper
And wars with thee oh great sleeper

And what power hath that Great Enemy oh great spirit of sleep
He hath all of the power
And has left no power for thee
Oh great and wonderful spirit of great sleep

What fear do I have of that Great Enemy oh great spirit of sleep

For He speaketh words and the worlds are formed
And He looseth the chains of the captive
He looseth the bands of death

What terror of that Great Enemy oh great sleeping spirit

For His Word is the truthful word
The Truthful Word that cometh down unto the earth
THe Truthful Word that maketh himself as a Man
A Man but no man
A Man but a Man of God
The Godly Man
Oh what canst thou do oh great spirit of great sleep
 What canst thou do in the face of the Godly Man
For the Godly man has light in his eyes
And his eyes are deep as the shadow of the deep
But his gaze goeth up to the heaven and contemplateth man

Canst thou grip me with greater grip than the Godly Man
For the Godly Man hath broken hands
He hath nailed me to His hands
He hath engraven me upon the palms of His hands

Canst thou scream louder than the Godly Man

For the Godly Man screameth not
For in Him there is no scream
But the voice of small child who sits in a still wood

Oh thou sleeping slumberings spirit

What art thou to me but a dog
A dog in the face of the True Godly Spirit
The True Spirit of the Godly Man who cometh down from above

Oh thou spirit of great sleep

Thou must necessarily lick up the dust of many feet
And hide in the shadow
For there is no light in thee

Oh thou spirit of great sleep

Thou art only the dream of my father
The dream of my father that he told to no man
But hid up in a box to bury and die
But thou dost never die thou slinking serpent
Thou slinking serpent in the mind garden
Thou wast that tempter from the beginning thou sleeping spirit
Thou sleeping spirit of the mind garden
 Oh what have you for me thou slinking serpent
Thou slinking serpent from the mind garden
Wilt thou bite me and leave me dead oh tempter
Thou sleeping tempter of the mind garden

No and No again
For thou hast closed thine eye that it see not
Thou hast closed thine ear that thou hearest not
Thou has tapped up their nostrils

Oh sleeping spirit beware and be afraid

For the eye
Even the eye of horus
Is open upon you

That falcon is with open eyes

Has but to swoop down and eat you up
Thou knowest it and thou tremblest oh sleeping serpent
The falcon with his eye is wont to swoop down and eat you up

For the falcon is awake oh sleeping spirit

And he has woken up adam in the garden
And he will in no wise sleep again
Thou sleeping serpent

But thou dost ever sleep thou sleeping serpent

Thou dost ever sleep away from that unending light
For that light is too much for thee
Thou sleeping serpent
But wo unto thee for the Father cometh
And he cometh with the Light of Truth
And who can sleep with that Light upon their face
No man can sleep
 No man can sleep

All shall awaken when this Light cometh

Oh sleeping spirit of great sleep
This Light is coming and shall shine upon all men of all the world
This is the Light of Life that surely cometh

That cometh to thee oh sleeping spirit of great sleep

To open the wounds
To clear out the maggot eaten flesh
And to make a new flesh

A new man in the image of the old man

An old man in the image of the new
And what shall ye say oh sleeping spirit
What shall ye say to an old new man

Behold and hearken unto me as I tell unto you of the great spirit. The great sleeping
spirit. Many men are in the great sleeping spirit. And the great spirit of great sleep.

This sleeping spirit is the worship of all of the men that inhabited towns and
cities where I walked today and this was the spirit of sleeping.

And this was the prayer to the great sleeping spirit and the worship of the
spirit of great sleep.
Day 7
Now may we come to the child of the sleeping spirit and the virgin of the
dragon. Verily a child of the sleeping spirit and the virgin of the dragon.

But this is not the child, but the mother. The whore of all the earth and the
mother of the sleeping spirit child and the virgin child in chains.

No this is not some child. This is the whore mother of the sleeping spirit and
the virgin child of the dragon

This is the mother of whores. The wife of the great dragon. Who leaves her
symbol in the palm of every manchild.

The mother of whores loves to live in all of the dark spaces. She loves to live
in all of the dark spaces that she may offer the dark flame to every manchild.

The mother of whores loves to sit in office chairs and to look at men from the
window. The mother of whores loves a lie. She will eat up a lie as many great cakes.
Eating cakes is the love of the mother of the whores.
The mother of whores is with the young man. To take his strength in his
youth. This is the love of the mother of whores. To take the strength of the young
man while he is in his youth.

The mother of whores is with the old man. To satisfy the old man in his old
age and to leave the woman childless and the womb barren. This is the great joy of
the mother of whores. To eat up the wombs of the childless woman and to eat up
the old man until she is satisfied.

The mother of whores is with the great leader. To bring his greatness to
shame and to bring her children to prominence in the underland.

But this is the underland: that woman are the daughters of whores and that
men are shut up in boxes with their tongues nailed to the roof of their mouths.
 This is the vision of the mother of whores. This is her purpose with the great
leader. To bring his greatness to shame and to bring her children to the promised
underland.

Who will stand against the mother of whores

The father of the house child will stand. There is no fear of the mother of
whores like the father of the house child.

The virgin mother will stand. The virgin mother is made of hard steel that has
been hammered in the forge of affliction. The virgin mother has her forehead as of
hard brass. The virgin mother wears a long robe. A long robe and many garments
wear the virgin mother. The virgin mother is with her child. This is where the virgin
mother is to be found. The virgin mother is with her child. This is where the virgin
mother is to be found. There is no fear of the mother of whores like the true
mother. The true mother of the child.

the heart of every man. This is the book of the true word.

she will wear the beautiful garment and the world will see her and the world will
change. This is the beautiful garment of the young woman. The true garment of the
young woman who will stand.
 The young man will stand. There is no fear of the mother of whores like the
young man who stands. The young man is a hungry man. The young man is a
hungry man with a hunger that cannot be satisfied. But the hunger of the young
man is not a hunger of cakes like the hunger of shadow men. The hunger of the
young man is not a hunger of cakes. The hunger of the young man is a hunger of
the good books. The good books will fill the hunger of the young man. All the good
books will fill the hunger of the young man. The right history will fill the hunger of
the young man who will stand. The right history of peoples and places and things.
The right philosophy will fill the hunger of the young man who will stand. The right
philosophy of the right living of many great fathers. The right religion will fill the

whores.
If you walk after my precepts and do after my ordinances and call upon my name in
your time of affliction, I shall seal you up unto me: saith the mother of whores. I will
be thy god in thy time of trouble: saith the mother of whores to the young man and
the father. I will carry you through the wilderness: saith the mother of whores.

You will walk and shall not be weary and you will walk and shall not faint. But I shall
seal you and shall take you so slowly back into the dark. Thou shalt sleep with me
and none else, for thy hunger and thy desire shall be unto me and none else. I shall
fill thy house and none else, for thy hunger and thy desire shall be unto me and
none else.

You shall eat cakes and none else, for thy hunger shall be a hunger of cakes and
none else. I shall fill thy books and none else, for thy literature shall be unto me and
none else. I shall fill up all thy art and none else, for thy art shall be unto me and
unto none else. I shall fill up thy history and all of thy history will be driven as a boat
upon the sea is driven by the waves and tossed. I shall fill up thy body and the light
of thy body shall be darkness and oh how great shall be that darkness.

The Doctrine, the Rites, the Commandments and the Rituals of the Religion of
the Dragon and the Whore Mother whose Children are as the Wind or the
Water

And this is the doctrine, the rites, the commandments,and the rituals of the religion
of the dragon and the whore mother whose children are as the wind or the water.

Doctrine 1- All men are a world unto themselves. Men are as they are. I am as I am.
All men are a world unto themselves. Men are as they are.

Doctrine 2 - All have a spirit. A special spirit, but no man has a soul. This is special
spirit that no man can know but thy own self. Thy special spirit is thy true spirit.
That special spirit is the lord of the body and the lord of the flesh. There is no great
spirit like thy special spirit the lord of thy flesh.

Doctrine 3 - Only thou canst know thy special spirit. This is a great spirit. There is no
great spirit like thy special spirit. Thy special spirit is a jealous spirit and a great
mother. Thy special spirit has two hands over its eyes and a spear for a tongue, Thy
special spirit goes wheresoever it listeth and thy special spirit is whomsoever it
listeth. This the calling and election of thy life. To follow thy special spirit to
whomsoever and wheresoever it listeth.
Commandment 1 - The tongue is the bloody sword. The tongue is the bloody
bloody sword. Cut of your tongues and bind up your mouth's all who enter here.

Commandment 2 - The eye is the judge of man. The eye is the unjust judge of man.
Pluck out your eyes and stop up your ears all who enter here.

Commandment 3 - Thy mother and thy whore groans under a great weight. This is
the weighty weight. Thy mother groaneth and thy whore taketh a great weight. This
is the most weighty weight. What is the weight of thy mother and whore of all the
earth? This is the children of the earth. The children are too many crieth the whore
and I have not what to fill up their mouths. But she hast to fill their mouths the
greedy whore. She has eaten up all of the food from out of the mouths of these
children. What is this commandment and who can hear it?
Rite and Ritual 1 - Bring my thy son on the fourth day of the sixth month and take
from off of him his clothes. Paint thy son in colors of red and blue and show him
unto all of the people. And when the people are pleased with him let the whore
mother take him up to the table of stone. Take the boy up to the table of stone
before he has knowledge to say “papa” or to say “mama”. Lay him upon the table of
stone and cut for me a bloody offering. A bloody offering for the whore mother of
all the earth. A bloody offering for the mother who groaneth and the whore who
taketh on a great weight. That she may no more take on such great weight. That her
yoke may be easy and her burden may be light.

And after will the son be no more a son unto you. But will be a son of darkness and
a son of the troubled sea. This will be my son. This will be my special son. The
special son of the whore of all the earth that he may be unto her a weight bearing
spirit and a spirit that bears weight.

Rite and Ritual 2 - There will be a sacrifice unto me. Yeah I say unto the a sacrifice
will be made. A sacrifice of sacrifices. This is the sacrifice of the father, but not the
father of all of thy spirits. This is the sacrifice of the dark father, who bears none of
the weight of the weight bearing spirit and the spirit that bears weight.
For a son shall be lifted up and the chastisement of thy peace shall be upon
him. The chastisement of thy peace, yeah thy hellish peace. The peace of the
damned. The peace of the certainty of the damned soul in hell.

And thou shalt cut thy son into pieces. And cut him into smaller pieces. And
this shall be the state of thy son. And thou burn up his small pieces for a sweet
savor unto me and an incense in my temple. And thou shalt do for thirty million
sons, for thirty million sons shalt thou burn up unto me.

Rite and Ritual 3 - This is the prophet of the sacrifice of the sons. This is the prophet
of the sacrifice of the sons. This is the prophet and the visionary prophet. The
prophet who dreams the dark dream. The prophet who dreams only the dark
dream. This is the dark dream of the heavy weight of the mother whore of all of the
earth. This is the prophets dark dream of that great unbearable weight.
Shall the prophet have compassion on the mother of all the earth? Shall the
prophet be moved with compassion in his heart? A sacrifice is necessary for his
heart. The sacrifice of a hundred of the daughters of the great man. Shall the
prophet have compassion on the mother of all whoredoms and wickedness? He
shall have compassion and shall make the sacrifice. That the young be made to
tremble as old men and that old men take up their strength as the young.

And this is the prophet that shall come in the night. The dark prophet. And shall
make a sacrifice of the people, but a sacrifice of the people who know it not. And
this is the prophet: the not-boy of the children of the first rite and ritual.

Principles for the Interpretation of Law

1. Traditional laws as written have inherent biases. These biases render the laws
unfair and unjust.
2. Thus these laws need a modern interpretation in order to render the laws
meaningful.
3. Modern interpretations must take into consideration legal inequalities connected
to bias.
4. Biases may include inequalities related to gender, class, race, and ethnicity.
5. We overcome these biases by acknowledging and correcting for diversity, gender
biases, class differences, inclusivity, racism, equity, and multiplicity
6. Correcting for diversity means that we take into account perspectives from other
cultures, races, countries, and groups of peoples.
7. Correcting for for gender biases means that we take into account the effects that
sexism throughout time has had on the creation of law.
8. Correcting for class difference means taking into account the influences of
differing economic status on the decisions of perpetrators.
9. Correcting for racism in law means negating the consequences of any law that
might disproportionately effect one race more than another.

LAW IS SUBJECT TO CONTINUAL SUBJECTIVE INTERPRETATION AND IS ONLY

THE TOOL OF PEOPLE IN POWER

ANY RULE IS AN ARBITRARY EXPRESSION OF POWER

FROM THE MIND OF MARGOSHA TROJANOVICH - A PROUD REVOLUTIONARY

All things to Margosha Trojanovich were blackened streaks across burnt paper.

Margosha finished tying the rope to the beam above her kitchen table.

Black lines.

Black lines.

Black lines.

Darkness had covered her for so long that it was hard to sort out what was real
and what was not. Blackened streaks across burnt paper.

Was that rope secure?

It would be such an embarrassment if it should happen to break. She wouldn't

want it to break, even if it worked. They would come into the house after some days and
find her lying face down upon the floor. That would be such an embarrassment. Even for
her. She wouldn't want it to break.

Black lines

 Black lines

Margosha’s breath began to quicken. She had contemplated this moment for a
thousand hours. Plotted. Planned. How her landlord would enter and find her hanging
there. Maybe after several days. And how it would smell! How the police would be called
to come and get her down. How her friends and family would mourn and cry. . .

Black lines

Black lines

Black lines.

She stepped up onto her kitchen table. She had done this last week to fasten an
eye to one of the beams in her ceiling, so she knew that it could hold her weight.

Balancing atop one of her chairs she fixed the rope slowly and securely around
her neck. Her heart was racing and adrenaline had numbed her mind. She placed one
foot atop a chair and braced to push

Off

Being Dead
Blurred lines.

Black lines.

Margosha began to open her eyes. Everything hurt. Everything was pure suffering.
There was an afterlife! And she had gone to hell.

Blurred lines.

Black lines.

Margosha tried to move. Tried to say something, but she couldn't make her mouth move
and she couldn’t make a sound. There was something in her mouth stretching down her
throat. She couldn’t move her arms or her legs.

There was an afterlife. And she had gone to hell.

Margosha Trojanovich tried to open her eyes. Everything around her was completely
blurred.

Blurred lines.

She could make out some blurry people around her that appeared to be moving back
and forth. Maybe they were dancing. But a strange and frightening dance. They moved
together and held hands and then drew apart. And then just moved their heads.

They must be angels.

Little angels moving their heads back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.

Margosha

Margosha

Margosha Trojanovich

Margosha opened her eyes. She was standing alone in an empty field. The grass was dry
and dead around her. A tree stood in the distance barren and dead.

Margosha

A voice called in the distance. Little more than a whisper, but it seemed to pierce the
very soul. Margosha started forward. She went to walk on the path but something pulled
at her ankles.

She was chained up. She could still press forward but it seemed that she was dragging
something behind her. She looked down. Sure enough, she had chains around her
ankles.

She glanced behind her and shrunk back in horror. A dead body, probably dead for
several days lay decomposing behind her. And attached to the ankles of the stiff white
body were ankle chains that matched her own.

Margosha

Margosha
Margosha Trojanovich

The voice called her attention back to the path. As she glanced forward she saw that a
light glowed in the distance. A mysterious light that caught her attention. The whisper of
her name seemed to come from that glowing off in the distance.

Margosha Trojanovich.

Margosha lurched forward desperate to see that glowing light, but the body held her
back. It was heavy enough that she could not move at any pace.

She glanced down at the body, unrecognizable for its decay.

Something rested in its jacket pocket. It looked to be a small book. She was curious
about this small book, so she bent down to grab. . .

Blurred lines

Black lines

Margosha was suddenly jolted awake. She could see more clearly now. There were two
doctors by her bedside working on small machines. Where was that book? What was
that glowing light around the corner?

Blurred lines

Black lines

She didn’t know what was written in the book or what that light was around the corner,
but she could not shake a feeling that was beginning to grow within her. She tried to
fight it. To push it away, but she couldn't deny it’s reality.

Whatever could be said of the words in that book or the light that was glowing around
the corner, this much was certain. . .

That it mattered.

When Margosha Trojanovich was discharged from the hospital the first thing she did
was purchase a book filled with blank white pages. A journal of sorts.
She was determined to find out what that light was and to write everything she learned
in that blank book. That light was real. She was sure of that. If anything in this world
was real and worth finding, that light was real.

What is the meaning of life.

Is it breakfast?
It is not breakfast
But I think I will eat breakfast anyway.

 Haiku
Now a perfect storm
Will rage upon all mankind
Never what we think

Haiku
Fallen like a rose
Thats’ painted in perfect white
Far from where I’m from
 Poem
I saw the other day
An old thrown out wooden bowl
It was thrown out with the trash
What a shame

I could not waste such a find

I took it into my house and cleaned it
I painted it
I healed its open wounds
Like a medic and a fallen soldier
Some would say just a bowl

Later that day

A light shone upon the bowl
Perfected and whole
It brought the thought
What a metaphor for man
For there is no man who can stand
Without the help of higher power
But that does not
Diminish its beauty
Rather it augments it

Help does not make the bowl weak

It makes it beautiful
The divine does not make man weak
It makes him loved
Transmigrationism and the Work of Frederic W. H. Myers was the book that I was
reading whilst using my bathythermograph in the lake behind our home. Suddenly a
great triboluminescence exploded across the sky and a group of anthropophaginian roof
dwellers clambered down from their perches.

One was kind enough to show me the poetry she had been working on. Quite good,
though brachycatalectic in places. I helped her work out a few lines and she showed me
a bit of iatromathematics, utilizing a microcalorimeter which bore an anopisthograph of
her mothers name.

Now I had made quite the study of thermokinematics, so I was quite interested in the
instrument. Thes roof dwellers found the study quite interesting as well, when combined
with other penecontemporaneous studies in the area.

Their study had given birth to chronosynchronicity of an embodied sun, utilizing a

spectroheliograph. This chronosynchronicity told of a porphyrogeniture with
podobromhydrosis, who utilized a spectrophotometer and a microseismometer to
embody a transcendentalism objectified in a pantochronometer.

Now this study is often associated with religious representationalism and ritual, utilizing
an electroretinograph and a spectrophotometer to associate with the worship of light.
Otorhinolaryngology is typically classified as a form of heresy.

Hydrometeorology and crystallogenesis in the atmosphere was to these roof dwellers as

the highest trial of the quadragesimarian. After such a study a celebration with
lautenclavicymbel would be considered eellogofusciouhipoppokunurious. A
consequence of such study in combination with micropalaeontology and its
accompanying theophilanthropism, resulted in antidisestablishmentarianism.

There is no way to quodlibetificate with a spectroheliograph.

Many of these small creatures had an obvious arachibutyrophobia from their extensive
time staring at the spectroheliokinematograph. Even the quadragesimarians in the
group had triskaidekaphobia which greatly interfered with their palaeoclimatology.

The spectroheliograph and spectroheliokinematograph of these creatures was

chryselephantine and archididascalian. Unfortunately their home was decidedly
chiropterophilous and penecontemporaneous.
We found sphygmomanometer in the basement which greatly enhanced the creatures
latitudinarianism, but it could not cure them of their arachibutyrophobia. I have never
seen such a triboluminescence caused by psychroaesthesia in the bodies of these
creatures.

We decidedly tried to convert them to a sort of theanthroposophy through

introspectionism.

Suddenly entered a gynotikolobomassophile in a burst of triboluminescence and

thermokinematics of honorificabilitudinity. He had a pantochronometer in his hand that
supposedly was used in a pseudoautochiria.

He presented his opposition to a theanthroposophy in its chronosynchronicity. Suddenly

a psychroaesthesia spread throughout my body, whose emissions could be measured
in a photopolarimeter that contradistinguished it from transcendentalism. A
telespectroscope could help in our palaeoanthropology, if we can not quodlibetificate
with each gynotikolobomassophile living with a anthropophaginian in a
tetrakishexahedron as large as a zenzizenzizenzic of a normal house.

Transcendentalism is my religious feeling. I have a radiometeorograph, but I have not

been able to talk about it in an ethnomethodology. My spectrophotometer has been
equally useless. An anthropophaginian perpilocutionist once told me of a religious
introspectionism. But I couldn't help but obsess about an electrocardiograph and leave
pneumatophilosophy to the palaeoanthropologists with triskaidekaphobia.

Much less did my chromatoptometer or the electroretinograph affect the

predestinarianism of the anthropophaginian perpilocutionist. My
spectroheliokinematograph did nothing to help.

They cried for the sacramentarianism of archididascalian rhinotillexomania!!!

I cried for the predestinarianism of my interfenestration ballistocardiograph!!!

I went to speak with one of their eye doctors about the purchase of a spectrofluorimeter
or a chromatoptometer.

A pseudoautochiria!!!! A pseudoautochiria!!!! A pseudoautochiria!!!!

The epihenomenalistic epitaph was composed by an atrometeorologist with a
bathythermograph and a pantochronometer. It was no wonder the boy had massive
polyphiloprogenitive maschalephidrosis whilst speaking of the mans love for his
xenodocheionology and his clove for his chromatoptometer/radiometeorograph.

The pantochronometer of theophilanthropism has cured my triskaidekaphobia!!!

This was the message written on the telespectroscope, sphygmomanometer, and the
electrodynamometer of the otorhinolaryngologist. The man was an avid
antidisestablishmentarianist in his own right. A good electrocardiograph would show the
triboluminescence of his heart. He had a great debate in his mind between
palaeoclimatology and palaeoanthropology versus a sort of transcendentalism.

Suddenly the quindecasyllabic word burst from the mouth of his hypertrichologist.
It had something to do with thermokinematics. Iknew that much from the
electroretinograph and, though my arachibutyrophobia prevented my from any stringent
introspectionism, I had erected a tetrakishexahedron to dendrochronology with a
spectrophotometer on top.

We must go to the knick-knackatory to see the astrometeorological perpilocutionist

show his chryselephantine bathythermograph to cure arachibutyrophobia through strict
hydrometeorology.

Get my electroencephalograph and ballistocardiograph for the radappertization

of electrochemistry

But I digress.
 Toward Venus
The other day
I drove a car through a purple haze
It was beautiful and dangerous
So hard to see the road

It went away
And a light had paved the way
For a fallen traveler
Lost out in the snow

The other day

My baby laid me down
And we drifted through the night
To outer space

And there I gazed

At the cosmos and the stars
As we floated on past mars
Toward venus

12/31/22
The snow is laid on the mountain
Laid down
And the mountain is buried in the snow
Buried

What body lies in such lonely cold

Resting or dead?
Lonely cold covering the corpse?
Or the sleeping beauty ready to awake?

It is not till the kiss of spring

Brings in the renewal of life
That we see the heart of the mountain.
It wakes up
To an old purpose and a new life
 Tomorrow

Light poured through a hospital window

We knew they were coming today
The lights and the stress
Will not give any rest
From the passage
Of time
Of time
What of the days
Gone are the days
When we sat in the rain
And thought love was a game
And chased dreams with a sail and a thimble

It's only for a short time

Are the schools closed?
Are the vendors closed?
Could a hospital close?

Calling it seems.
Are the wisps of a dream
As a memory takes me to fortune
The sun on the sea
And the kiss of the breeze
There are phantoms that
love and adore you

Vapors of smoke
An ethereal glow
Take a moment to wash out the worry
A taste of regret
And the blood on my neck
Give a sign for angels to burn me

A man in a motorcar
Sits by the shore
As the sun gives its smile in the morning
And a little girl laughs
As she puts on her coat
To go live in the world of a dreamer

To:
Sinners and vagabonds
Daughters and sons
Women in mourning
And men on the run a

Welcome home
You are not lost and alone
We can hear those choirs singing
In the distance
But we know
That if we are to succeed
Than today is our fortuity
To listen

Fade into the gray
We’re asking you to stay
We’ll love you anyway

If there’s a land
Where God sets off to dream
Though far away it seems
We’ll sail across those seas

 The Moral Dilemma

A Cacophony of voices intertwine

A choir to obstruct my peace of mind
Infamy in the world they create
Inscribes a chronicle, upon my mortal slate

Feeble obelisk to support my fallen world

Begins collapse, my demons to unfurl
My soul rent, set free a ravaged throng
Tortured screams, they develop a new song

Ruthless worlds emerge, my soul afire

As galaxies collide neath heavens desire
Colors swirl in a diaphanous orb
I am placed to rest, asepsis absorb

Thus erupts Celestial diapason sound

A euphony from Heaven abounds
Sweet refrain to alleviate my soul
Serene oblation, All my sins annul

A familial myriad amalgamates

Melodic diapason recreates
Interlocked by eternal sacrifice
The Glorious condition realized

And thus becomes in us the universal plight

To soar by day, or writhe along by night
As wondering scholars pursuing after truth
You must realize, the choice is up to you

How to make money

1. Buy People Not Things

2. Give Away an Illness. Then Sell the Cure
 3. Give Away What Your Selling For Free
4. Money is a poor man’s currency
5. Always play the long game
6. Be everyone’s closest friend
7. Don’t trust yourself
8. Plastic Surgery Always looks Great
9. Give the appearance of something under the surface
10. History is a teacher, but most haven’t listened. Fold when you’re dealing with
someone who has
11. Make sure people are well fed and entertained
12. Don’t mistake what you believe and what you say you believe

The Prodigal Son and the Path

My Father had a perfect home

And taught me of his plan
He filled my soul with love and care
He helped me understand

He told me I could ever live

Enjoy that heavenly home
If I obeyed His every law
And never far I’d roam

My Elder Brother showed me

He told me to follow Him
The path He trod would surely
Ever keep me safe from sin

I lived a life of joy and peace

Till I began to doubt
I longed escape from perfect home
To see the world without

Despite my Fathers’ love and care

My Brothers’ shining light
Dark thoughts began to fill my head
Against them I did fight
Slowly Fathers gentle cares
My Brothers deep concern
Began a tedious burden be
A swift escape, I yearned

The world seemed full of pleasure

Far from humble home
I longed my fortune to partake
Go to the world and roam

I soon set off with Fathers’ goods

To follow mammons track
The teardrops in my Fathers eyes
Would never bring me back
The woeful fate I had desired
Pleasure, worldly cheer
Soon my Fathers’ fortune spent
Had quickly disappeared

The tender councils taught at home

Came quickly to my mind
I, in pathetic pity, cried
For home I’d left behind

The friends who once stood near me

Soon had left me lone and gone
In my lone abandoned state
I realized I’d been wrong

Forced to grovel with the swine

A noble Son of God
Memories of a Fathers’ Home
Where once my feet had trod

My debt was such I never

Could have paid it on my own
Justice set for every coin
a drop of blood atone
As I prepared to pay that price
In sorrow bowed my head
I knew I was not worthy
To ask mercy to be pled

When in the dark a Light shone forth

Upon my teary face
My Brother from the distance ran
To come and take my place

As they pierced and scourged my Lord

His blood scattered the stones
Each drop of Blood He shed for me
My price of sin atoned

My Brothers precious blood was spilt

In burning agony
And with each drop my Brother showed
His perfect love for me

When at last my price was paid

Enslaving bonds were freed
My Savior gently took my hand
And Homeward He did lead

As we walk I wonder
Am I worth this precious blood
My Lords’ embrace, I’m reassured
He suffered out of love

My Savior, as He walks with me

Reminds me what He did
The heavy price of sin He paid
He died that I might live

Christ is there to guide me

Every time I lose my way
To bring me to my Fathers’ home
If I’ll, His voice, obey
Some far from the path have strayed
Like lambs lost from the fold
Others cause of neglect lay
Like precious coins of gold

Still some, like me, a wayward son

Far from their Father roam
To whom a loving Savior still
Is calling “Please come Home”

The World

A hand reached down to plant a seed

With love surpassing all I’d seen
I pray the seed turns to a tree
Strengthened by constant defeat

Seed of creation, But a thought

In incubation worlds are wrought
Wisdom pleads a constant choice
To listen to the still small voice

I looked then upon burning fields

Where flame licked slaves of harvest
But what they gather, Hell and Pain
No chains bind them to darkness

Contrast this with worlds of light

Where agents of creation
Gather souls for worlds above
Their choice exalts the nations

They fall
But each carried a gift
Their call
A simple orb of blue
 In a moment
I could understand the meaning of the orb
Each circle meant for me
A constant opportunity

Each soul of men could choose his guide

In a great compass in the sky
That looked upon the world below
Where Hell and darkness lingered
A multitude of frozen woes
In outstretched hands and fingers

That world
Immense and dark

Kings and crowns

False priests in sullen gowns
Cities, towns
A world of lost and found

I watched authors transcribe

A book thats filled with lies
As priests gathered the text
Of Sacred and Elect

As lies were given to the sons

A fire was lited for the nuns
To cast away the sacred text
To burn, to burn, to burn

But though they tried with all their might

The liturgy would not ignite
So hungry fire consumed its master
No happily ever after

It was a time of war in peace

Where masses fought against the free
They met within a shadowed room
 So there they took their oath of doom

They vowed against the right

To undermine all truth and light
But though they said there was no truth
There was a God in truth I knew

But glance again that tender plant

Which holds the earth in heavens hands
Creation seeds a galaxy
And man in a single womb

And thus in every mortal being

A kernel of eternity
Holds the world in awe to see the glory of a son

Thus unfolds heredity

In each Celestial progeny
Each may choose his course
And love maintains the driving force

Turn again to marble wall

Washed white in pools of blood
The choirs of the city fall
To harmony in love

Alas, over the cvidedels

A wooden cross and iron nails
Creation seeded hand
Is pierced as natural world wails

Then the ship was safe to shore

And doors were open evermore
An empty tomb proclaimed to us a life without and end

But still I ponder crucifix

Celestial woes and worldly bliss
And wonder if there’s not, for me, an sacred massage hidden
 A Father and a Master
Side by side upon the throne
To those who know them thoroughly Eternal Life is given.

April Rains

“Wake Up Micah”
The sound of the rain
Crooned out my name
As I sat in the shade of a lamp post
In a moment of need
I had fallen asleep
To the lullaby sung by the sea

A moment. A life in this coastal town

It had just been a day
My life passed away in amazement and wonder
I could hear in the wind
a soft voice from within
That called back a day
When the skies weren’t grey

“Isn’t the morning beautiful?”

Colors and lights
Framed the city by night
As the coquetry flared in the wind
Injustice of man
Blood spilt on the sand
Laid a memoir for children in parting

Can you hear the darkness?

Can you taste the fear?
Can you smell injustice?
Can you see your tears?

Take me away to another land

 Let me take hope from a better man
Or a future man
Caught in silent lands

“Do I accept the silence of thoughts?”

“Is there danger in worlds of naught?”
So much fear . . .

I wonder
Am I meant for more
Am I meant to soar across the sea
To distant lands
Where skies are blue and fields are green
Am I meant for more

Is it myself who holds me back

Am I a servant to my sin
Can I escape the chains of circumstance
For to my soul's delight,
To God I enter in

Margosha awoke suddenly. The light in the room was a pale yellow. A sign of a
dying bulb. That worn out electricity leaving space for lurking shadows as it kissed the
white washed walls. It illuminates the mess around me. The wrinkled sheets waded up
on the bed. The clothes strewn about on the floor. Books and papers trying their best to
cover what mysteries live on the floor.
I am like this room. I live in the violent collision of light and darkness. I inhabit the
space between God and the human, always looking toward the sky as I collapse upon
the ground. This is mankind. This is me. These are the children of God. I am his son. I
am his daughter.

It is a task to live a day. Life is a projection of pain. I spent hours today studying.
Filling my mind with the new as I am haunted by the old. Memories of what has died,
still live on.
 But it is a joy to live a day. My tired feet are proof of students, whose lives I have
made better through my tutelage. My opportunity to teach has opened their worldview a
little wider. They can now gaze at new horizons and walk forgien paths. Because I have
walked this paths and seen those horizons, I can now offer “come and see”

The wind whistled with a vengeance through the aspen grove. The fall leaves on
the forest floor created a sort of rustle under the feet of anyone passing through the
area. It was cold outside. Bitterly cold.
From the forests’ edge one could see a young boy pulling his jacket tight against
the cold. From his apparent build and height, one would conclude that meals came less
frequently than days hard labor. The jacket was threadbare and appeared to be the only
one of his possession.
He picked up a small stick from off of the ground and began to swing it casually
in the air, probably imagining some fantastic scene of heroism and valor.
Anyone who passed by this boy at this time would be presented with a sort of
conflict of reasoning. From appearances alone, this boy ought to be of a melancholy
disposition. A vagabond left only the meditation of what life had taken from him. But
after careful observation, one would find that his state of being was quite the opposite.
He seemed to be thrilled with the world around him and pleased with his opportunity to
make some sort of affect on it.
He was happy. I know he was happy, because this boy was me. Several years
ago. Before the sorrows and the joys of living fermented in my soul and uprooted my
innocence. Now I seek to be that boy once again

A Glimpse into the life of music

The room was a comfortable warm temperature, contrasting the austere cold of
the outdoors. It was a brown room with brown furniture. A brown fireplace shot heat
across the room to an old brown piano in the corner.
It was a well used piano. It had been the toast of generations and felt the
embrace of callused farm hands. From its place in the corner, it gathered dust and
waited for another wide eyed lovers’ kiss.
The piano begged, if such things can be said of a piano. It reached out and cried
for a curious child to come and play. “Come and keep me company” it cried. “Learn
what I have to teach”. And it was a teacher. A teacher without a student. The greatest
tragedy.
 The door of the room creaked open and light poured in. A man, tired from his
day's work, came and leaned against the piano. To rest. What purpose was there? What
can be said for an instrument reduced to a warped seat. A ballerina who sells shoes in a
pawn shop.
Whether out of accident or with purpose the man leaned against a cluster of
keys, making a new wave of ragtag sounds. It seemed to surprise him. He turned and
looked at the keys. For what seemed like an eternity, that space existed between the
piano and the man. A chasm that held the expanse of time itself. The key and a finger
collided abruptly and the man and the piano were lonely no more.

The sounds filtered into the room through the open door. In the room a boy was
sitting. Listening. Taking it all in. He could barely breathe.
It appeared to him that the sounds were all that existed. That this noise
encompassed all of existence. That it transcended time and space and brought him into
another dimension. To the throne of God, where angels gathered and danced to the
celestial sounds.
Well there was nothing else to be done. He had to locate its source. The source
of such wonder. He ran downstairs from his room, but the sound was fainter there. He
searched outside his front door, but there was nothing. So he ran down the street to the
alley behind his house, all the time following those heavenly sounds. And how the grew.
Richer. Louder with every step.
What he saw would not have been defined as celestial by the passerby. Actually
it was a rather ragtag group of jazz musicians. There was an old gentleman tapping on
the drums, setting the rhythm for the group. A young woman was starting a fire with a
stand up bass. Her fingers flew across the strings like a colony of ants, each furiously
working to accomplish a purpose.
But the pianist. There was a passion in his eyes that could light on the face of
God and fall down to hell in an instant. He was a priest and a teacher. A sinner and a
liar. A magician and a fraud. In every sense the real deal. He was a beautiful landscape
and the emptiness of an abstract abyss. He stood at the door and said to the world
“Come and see! Come and feel! Oh Come and live!”.

And the world listened.

Leathery weather beaten hands. Strong thick hands. Old worn out hands.
 Those hands had seen years of hardship. Those hands had seen tears of joy.
Those hands had built fires, built homes, and built a family.
The hands had felt pain. Had held the cold lifeless hands of dead children.
The hands had felt joy. Had been raised in the rough triumphs of midwestern
survival.
And those hands held a secret magic. They knew a deep bewitching spell, which
frequently would be cast over a family. It could unite a crowd and communicate love
deeper and broader than the expanse of the universe.
These leathery weather beaten hands. Strong thick hands. Old worn out hands.
Those hands had seen years of hardship. Those hands had seen tears of joy.
Those hands had built fires, built homes, and built a family.
Using the pinky, index, and middle fingers, those hands tapped a steady beat as
grandpa hummed the tune of “Once I Had a Secret Love”. And for a moment, the
universe was still.

They had rehearsed. They had choreographed. They were ready to enter the
stage.
They had sung. They had danced. They were ready to perform.
To perform. To give an experience to an audience. To participate in an
experience. To create music. To give an artistic perspective. To participate in live sound
as it exists in space.
As they started to sing the sound reverberated in the hall. The sound filled the
hall and the echo made the choir seem greater than itself. And indeed perhaps it was.
As the choir navigated the musical waters, the audience flew to musical heights
and plummeted into the depths of vocal oceans. It was a journey. The chorus and the
audience traveling together, growing together, becoming together. They explored the
horrendous evils and the pious purity of human nature in one fell swoop.
Synergy between chorus and audience. Between soul and mind. Between
mankind and music.

There are so many things that divide in the world today. Comments and critiques
cutting like knives across the expanse of humanity. Words that swirl in the air to define
them and us, we are and they aren't, I can and he can’t.
Division
 What benefit is there to division.
Twenty five ballerinas dance together to the music of the Nutcracker by
Tchaikovsky. The music brings them together. They dance and they leap as they feel
the melodious score course through their conductive bodies.
Ninety musicians play together to the music of Beethovans’ sixth symphony. The
music brings them together. Their bows dance across their strings and their instruments
become a medium to communicate life to the world.
A pianist, a bass player, and a drummer collaborate in a traditional jazz combo.
The music brings them together. They eb and they flow through time and space as they
experience art in creation.
What benefit is there to collaboration?
Collaboration
We can! We are! Words can bring us together and redefine what we will become.
Empathy and encouragement can heal wounds existing throughout the condition of
humanity. May we all stand together as we heal the world today.

COURT HEARING OF MARGOSHA TROJANOVICH

Margosha Trojanovich

Can you prove to us your innocence?

For we have in front of you the proof of your guilt!

Margosha rustled awake. She was sitting in a dull courtroom. A few people sat in the
pews behind her uninterestedly waiting for their turn to present their own cases.

A couple of old men played a game of checkers on the back bench. The clicking of pieces
on a board, the ticking of some profound clockwork.

Those were strange little old men.

Suddenly the judge stood and confronted Margosha. Here is their dialogue.

Judge: Margosha, it is uh about 2:30 in the afternoon. You are scheduled to be

executed tomorrow morning at 7:00 if you don’t receive another stay.

What is going through your mind? What thoughts have you had in these last few days?
Margosha: Well, I won’t get you to say that it’s something that I feel. That I am in
control of or something that I’ve come to terms with, because I haven’t. It's a moment by
moment thing. Sometimes I feel very tranquil and other times I don’t feel tranquil at all.
What’s going through my mind right now . . is to use. . . the minutes and hours that I
have left . . . as fruitfully as possible and see what happens.

So, it helps to . . . to live in the moment. . . in the . . . in the essence that we use it
productively.

So I’m right now I’m feeling calm and in large part because I’m here with you.
Judge: For the record, you are guilty of killing many women and girls.

Margosha: Yes, Yes, that’s true.

Judge: Margosha, how did it happen?

Take me back. What are the antecedents of the behavior that we’ve seen? So much grief.
So much sorrow. So much pain for so many people. Where did it start? How did this
moment come about?

Margosha: That’s the question of the hour and one that, not only people much more
intelligent than I have been working on for years, but one that I’ve been working on for
years and trying to understand. It. . . Is there enough time to explain it. . . All I don’t
know. . . I think I understand it though. . . understand what happened to me. . . to the
extent that I . . . I can see how certain feelings and ideas developed in me to the point
where i began to act out on them. Certain very violent and very destructive feelings.

Judge: Let's go back then to those roots first. Of all you as i understand it were raised in
what you consider to have been a healthy home

Margosha: Absolutely

Judge: You were not physically abused. You were not sexually abused. You were not
emotionally abused

Margosha: No, no way. I. . . and that's part of the tragedy of this whole situation. . . is
because i grew up in a wonderful home with two dedicated and loving parents. One of
five brothers and sisters. A home where we . . . as our . . . as children were. . . the focus
attended church. Two christian parents who did not drink. They did not smoke. There
was no gambling. There was no physical abuse or fighting in the home.
I'm not saying this was “Leave it to Beaver”. It wasn't perfect. Well no, I don't know that
such a home exists, but it was a fine solid christian home and nobody, I hope no one will
try to take the easy way out and to try to blame or otherwise accuse my my family of
contributing to this, because I know and I'm trying to tell you as honestly, as i know
how, what happened and i think this is a message i want to get across, but as a young. . .
a young boy, and i mean the boy of 12 or 13 certainly that i encountered outside the
home.

Again in the local grocery store the local drugstore the soft core pornography what
people call softcore, but, as I think I explained to you last night dr dobson in an
anecdote. As young boys do we explored the . . . the back roads and sideways and
byways of our neighborhood and oftentimes people would dump the garbage and
whatever they're cleaning out of their house and from time to time we come across. . . so
pornographic books of a harder nature than more graphic . . . you might say more
explicit nature than we would encounter let's say in your local grocery store and this also
included such things as let's say detective magazines and more those that involve
violence yes yes and I . . . I . . . and this is something i think i want to emphasize. . . is the
the the most damaging uh kinds of pornography in my. . . again i'm talking from
personal experience, uh hard real personal experience most damaging kinds of
pornography are those that involve violence and sexual violence, because the wedding of
those two forces, as i know only too well, brings about behavior that is just. . .is just too
terrible to describe.

Judge: Now walk me through that. What was going on in your mind at that time

Margosha: Okay, before we go any further, I think it's important to me and the people.
. . people believe what i'm saying to tell you that. . . that i'm not blaming pornography
and not saying that it caused me to go out and do certain things and i take full
responsibility for whatever i've done and all the things that i've done that's not the
question here the question and and the issue is how this kind of literature contributed
and helped mold and and shape the kinds of violent behavior fuel your family well in the
beginning it fuels this kind of thought process then it at a certain time it's instrumental
in what it would say crystallizing it, make it, making into something which is almost like
a separate entity inside and that in that point you're at the verge or i was at the verge of
acting out on this on this kind of these kinds of things i really want to understand that
you had gone about as far as you could go in your own fantasy life with printed material
and you made or printed and video or phone film magazines what happened and and
then there was the urge to take that little step or big step over to a physical event and it
happens it happened in stages gradually it doesn't necessarily not to me at least happen
overnight my experience with i say pornography generally but with pornography that
deals on a violent level with the sexuality um is that once you become addicted to it and i
look at this as a kind of addiction like other kinds of addiction of addiction you keep i
would keep looking for more potent more explicit more graphic signs of material like an
addiction you keep craving something which is harder harder something which which
gives you a greater sense of excitement until you reach the point where the pornography
only goes so far you reach that jumping off point where you begin to wonder if if maybe
actually doing it will give you that which is beyond just reading about it or looking at it

Judge: How long did you stay at that point before you actually assaulted someone?

Margosha: well yeah you see, that is a very delicate point in my own development and
we're talking about something we're talking about having reached a point or a . . . a gray
area that surrounded that point over the course of remember many years how long well i
would say i would say a couple years and what was i was dealing with there were very
strong inhibitions against criminal behavior or violent behavior that had been
conditioned into me. bred into me in my environment in my neighborhood in my church
in my school things which said no this is wrong i mean just even to think of it as wrong
but certainly to do it is wrong and you're on well i'm on that edge and these the last the
you might say the last vestiges of restraints the barriers to actually doing something
were being tested constantly and assault assailed through the kind of fantasy life that
was fueled largely by pornography.

Judge: Do you remember what pushed you over that edge do you remember the
decision to go for it? Do you remember where you decided to throw caution to the wind
Again.

Margosha: when you say pushed i don't i know what you're saying i don't want to infer
again i understand that that i was some helpless kind of a victim and yet we're talking
about an influence which that is the influence of violent types of media and violent
pornography which had was an indispensable link in the chain of behavior the chain of
events that led to the behaviors to the to the assaults to the murders and what and what
have you. It's a it's a very difficult thing to describe the the sensation of the the of . . . of
reaching that point when where i knewthat it was like something had say snapped that i
knew that uh that i couldn't control it anymore that these barriers that. . . that i had had
been i had learned as a child that had been instilled in me were not enough to hold me
back with respect to seeking out and harming somebody.

Judge: would it be accurate to call out a a frenzy a sexual frenzy

Margosha: well yes that's one way to describe it a compulsion a. . . a building up of of

this destructive energy uh again i another factor here that i haven't mentioned is the use
of alcohol, but i think that what alcohol did in conjunction with let's say my exposure to
pornography was alcohol reduced my inhibitions at the same time the the the fantasy
lights that were fueled by pornography uh eroded them further.

Judge: in the early days you were nearly always about half drunk when you did these
things is that right yes

Margosha: yes

Judge: uh was that always true

Margosha: yeah i i would say that that was

generally the case almost without exactly. . .

Judge: all right, if i can understand it now there's this battle going on within. there are
the conventions that you've been taught. there's the right and wrong that you learned as
a child and then there is this. . . this unbridled passion, fueled by your plunge into
hardcore violent pornography and those things are at war with each other

Margosha: yes

Judge: And then, with the alcohol diminishing the inhibitions, you let go.

Margosha: Well yes and you can summarize it that way . . . and that's accurate
certainly. . . and it just occurred to me that some people would. . . would say that well I
. . . I've seen that stuff and it doesn't do anything to me and I can understand that. I
don't. . . virtually everyone can be exposed to so-called pornography and, while they're
aroused to it to one degree or another, and not go out and do anything wrong.
Addictions are like that. They affect some people more than they affect others, but there
is a percentage of people affected by hardcore pornography in a very violent way.

Judge: and you're obviously one of them.

Margosha: That was a major component and i don't know why i was very vulnerable to
it. All i know is that, uh, that it. . . that it had an impact on me that was just so central to
the development of the violent behavior that I engaged in.

Judge: (Margosha), after you committed your first murder, what was the emotional
effect on you? What happened in the days after that?
Margosha: Well again this. . . please understand that. . . that even all these years later
it's. . . very difficult. . . to talk about it and and reliving it through talking about it is. . .
difficult to say the least, but I want. . . you to understand. . . what happened.

It was like coming out of some kind of horrible trance or dream. . . um. . . I can only
liken it to after. . . you know. . . I don't want to over dramatize it. . . but to have been
possessed by something so awful and so alien and then the next morning wake up from
it remember what happened and realize that basically. . . i mean. . . in the eyes of the
law. . . certainly in the eyes of God, you're responsible.

To have to wake up in the morning and. . . and realize what I had done and with a clear
mind. . . and all my essential moral and ethical feelings intact at that moment. . .
absolutely horrified that I was capable of doing something like that.
Judge: You really hadn't known that before?

Margosha: There is just absolutely no way to describe. . . first the brutal urge to do that
kind of thing and then. . . what happens. . . is once it. . . it has been more or less satisfied
and reseed. . . you might say or spent that. . . that sense. . . that kind of energy level
recedes and basically I became my myself again.

And i want people to understand this too, and i'm not saying this gratuitously, because
it's important people understand this. . . that basically I was a normal person.Uh. . . I I I
wasn't some guy hanging out in bars or a bum or I wasn't a pervert, in the sense that you
know people look at somebody and say i know there's something wrong with him and
just tell. . . I mean I. . . I was essentially a normal person. I had good friends I . . . I I
lived a normal life, except for this one small but very potent and very destructive
segment of it that I kept very secret. . . very close to myself and didn't. . . let anybody
know about it and part of the shock and horror for my. . . dear friends and family. . . one
year ago. . . when I was first arrested. . . was that they just. . . there was no clue!

They looked at me and they looked at the. . . you know. . . the. . . um. . . the all-american
boy and I’m. . . I mean. . . that wasn't perfect, but it was. . . I want. . . Okay, I was. . . and
the basic humanity and basic spirit that God gave me was intact, but it unfortunately
became overwhelmed at times.

I think people need to recognize that it's not some kind of. . . those of us who are. . . who
have been so much influenced by violence in the media, in particular pornographic
violence, are not some kinds of inherent monsters.

We are your sons and we are your husbands and we grew up in regular families
And pornography can reach out and snatch a kid out of any house today.He snatched me
out of my heart. . . it snatched me out of my home years ago and as diligent as my
parents were (and they were diligent in protecting their children), and as good a
christian home as we had (and we had a wonderful christian home), there is no
protection against the kind. . . that. . . the kinds of influences that are loose in the
society. . . that it tolerates. . .

Judge: You feel this really deeply don't you?

(Margosha), outside these walls right now there are several hundred reporters that
wanted to talk to you and you asked me to come here from California, because you had
something you wanted to say. This hour that we have together is not just an interview
with a man who's scheduled to die tomorrow morning. I am here and you're here
because of this message that you're talking about right here.

You really feel that hardcore pornography and the doorway to it, softcore pornography,
is doing untold damage to other people and causing other women to be abused and
killed the way you did others.

Margosha: Listen, I'm no social scientist and I haven't done a survey. . . I mean I. . . I
don't pretend that I know what John Q Citizen thinks about this, but I've lived in prison
for a long time now and I've met a lot of men who are motivated to commit violence just
like me and, without exception, every one of them was deeply involved in pornography.
Without question. Without exception! Deeply influenced and consumed by an addiction
to pornography.

There's no question about it. The FBI's own study on serial homicide shows that the
most common interest among serial killers is pornography. That's true and it's. . . and
it's real. . .

it's true. . .

Judge: (Margosha), what would your life have been like without that influence?

Margosha: (pause)

You can only speculate. . . yeah. . . well I. . . I know it would have been far better, not
just for me and. . . and excuse me for being so self-centered here. . . it would have been
a lot better for me and lots of other people i know that. . . lots of other innocent people. .
. victims and families. . . it would have been a lot better there's no question, but that it
would have been a. . . a fuller life. . . certainly a life that would not have involved. . . I'm
absolutely certain. . . would not have involved this kind of violence that I have been. . .
that I have committed I'm sure.

Judge: (Margosha), if you know. . . if i were able to ask you the questions that are
being asked out there. . . one of the most important. . . as you come down to perhaps
your final hours. . . are you thinking about all those victims out there and their families
who are so wounded? You know years later their lives have not returned to normal. . .
they will never return to normal

Margosha: Absolutely

Judge: Are you carrying that load that way?

Is the remorse there?

Margosha: Again I . . . I know that people will accuse me being self-serving, but we're
beyond that now. I mean I'm just telling you how I feel . . . but through God's help I've
been able to come to the point where I've. . . much too late but better late than never. . .
feel the hurt and the pain that I am responsible for.

Judge: Yes absolutely.

Margosha: In the past few days myself and a number of investigators have been
talking about unsolved cases. Murders that I was involved in and it's hard. . . it's hard to
talk about . . . all these years later. . . because it revives in me all those terrible feelings
and those thoughts that I have steadfastly and . . . and diligently dealt with. . . I think
successfully. . . with the love of God . . . and yet it's reopened that. . . and I felt the pain
and I felt the horror again of all that. . . and i can only hope that those who I have
harmed. Those who I've caused so much grief ,. . . even if they don't believe my
expression of sorrow and remorse, will believe what I'm saying now that there is, loose
in their towns and their communities, people like me today. Whose dangerous impulses
are being fueled day in and day out by violence in the media in its various forms,
particularly sexualized violence, and what scares me. . . and let's come into the present
now. . . because what I'm talking about happened 30 20. . . 30 years ago. . . that is, in
my formative stages. . . and what scares and appalls me, (Jean), is when I see what's on
cable tv, so in the movies. . . I mean some of the violence in the movies. . . uh that come
into homes today with stuff that they that they wouldn't show in x-rated adult theaters
30 years ago.

Judge: This stuff. . . the slasher movies that you're talking about. That stuff is. . .
Margosha: I'm telling you from personal experience the most that is graphic violence
on screen, particularly as it gets into the home to children who may be unattended or
. . . or unaware that they may be a Ted Bundy who has that. . . that vulnerability to that
. . . that predisposition to be influenced by that kind of behavior. . . by that kind of. . . of
a movie that kind of violence. Their kids sitting out there switching the tv dial around
and come upon these movies late at night or, I don't know when they're on, but they're
on and any kid can watch them. It's scary when i think what would have happened to me
if I had seen . . . that was scary enough. . . I mean that I just ran into stuff outside the
home,. . . but today to . . . to know that children are watching that kind of thing today . . .
or can pick up their phone and dial away for it or send away for it. . .

Judge: Can you help me understand this desensitization process that took place?
What was going on in your mind?

Margosha: Well, by the sensitization. . . I describe it in specific terms . . . is that each

time I harm someone. . . each time I kill someone. . . to be an enormous amount . . .
especially at first . . . enormous amount of horror, guilt, remorse afterwards. . . but
then that. . . impulse to do it again would come back even stronger.
Now believe me I didn't. . . the unique thing about how this worked, (Judge), is that I
still felt, in my regular life, the full range of guilt and remorse about other things . . . uh
regret . . . and you had this compartmentalized. . . this compartmentalized, very well
focused. . . very sharply focused area where I was. . . like a black hole. It was like a. . .
you know like a crack and everything that fell into that crack just disappeared.

Does that make sense?

Judge: Yeah, it does. One of the. . . the final murders that you committed, of course,
was apparently little Kimberly Leitch, 12 years of age. I think the. . . the public outcry is
greater there, because an innocent child was taken from a. . . from a playground. What
did you feel after that? What. . . was there. . . were there the normal emotions, three
days later where. . . were you, Margosha. . .

Margosha: I can't really talk about that right now. That's. . . oh. . . yeah. . . that's too
painful. . . I would like to. . . uh. . . I'd like to be able to convey to you what that. . . that
. . . that experience is like. . . but I can't. . . that. . . I won't be able to talk about that okay.

I can't begin to understand. . . Well, I can try. . . but I'm. . . I'm aware that i can't begin
to understand the pain that the parents of these. . . of these children that I have. . . and
these young women that I've harmed feel and I can't restore really much to them, if
anything. I won't pretend to and I don't even expect them to forgive me and I'm not
asking for it that. . . that kind of forgiveness is of God and if they have it. . . they haven't
. . . they don't. . . well. . . maybe they'll find it someday. . .

Judge: Do you deserve the punishment the state has inflicted upon you?

Margosha: That's a very good question and I'll answer very. . . very honestly. . . I. . . I
don't want to die.

I'm not going to kid you. . . I'll kid you not. . I deserve certainly the most extreme
punishment society has and I deserve. . . think society deserves to be protected from me
and from others like me, that's for sure. I think what I. . . what I hope will come of our
discussion is. . . I think society deserves to be protected from itself, because. . . because
we. . . as we've been talking there are. . . there are forces that loose in. . . in this country
. . . particularly again this kind of violent pornography, where on the one hand
well-meaning decent people will condemn behavior of a (Margosha Trojanovich), while
they're walking past a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids
down the road to be (Margosha Trojanovich). That's the irony we're talking here. . . not
just about. . . more we're talking on. . . What i'm talking about is going beyond
retribution. . . which is what people want with me. . . going beyond retribution and
punishment because. . . there is no way in the world that killing me is going to restore. . .
uh. . . those beautiful children to their parents and. . . and. . . and correct and and soothe
the pain. . . but I'll tell you there are lots of other kids playing in streets around this
country today who are going to be dead tomorrow and the next day and the next day and
next month, because other young people are reading the kinds of things and seeing the
kinds of things that are available in the media today.

Judge: (Margosha), as you would imagine there is tremendous cynicism about you on
the outside and i suppose for good reason. I'm not sure that there's anything that you
could say that people would would believe. . . some people would believe. . . yeah and. . .
and yet you told me last night. . . and i've heard this through our mutual friend John
Tanner. . . that you have accepted the forgiveness of Jesus Christ and are a follower and
a believer in Him.

Do you draw strength from that as you approach these final hours?

Margosha: I do.

I can't say that it's going to be. . . being in the the valley of the shadow of death is. . . is
something that I've become all that accustomed to. . . and then I. . . you know. . . and
that I'm strong and nothing's bothering me.
Listen, it's no fun. It's. . it's. . . it. . . you know it's. . . it's a. . . it gets kind of lonely and
yet i have to remind myself that every one of us will go through this someday in one way
or another. . . and countless of millions who have walked this earth before us have. . . so
this is just an experience which we all share.

Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy - Full Interview with Reverend James Dobson for 'Focus on the Family,' January 23, 1989

What would the Devil say if he walked through the side doors? He would say that he had
far less to do with our sins than we credit him with.
The truth is, that the deepest evil and the highest good are a matter of each individual's
choice to stay silent when the wind roars.

Margosha woke with a start and in a hot sweat.

It had all been a dream.

But she remembered that it was her who had answered those questions.

And that was as real as anything she had ever answered in her entire life.

And outside her window a homeless man in a beaten leather jacket sorted through the
trash.

Stuffing a half eaten hamburger in his pocket.

Tossing aside the crumpled newspaper in which it was wrapped.

I am that homeless man. Sifting through the trash heaps of life. Pocketing scraps of food
and tossing out the chaff.
 - QUOTE _
I’m drawing a blank. I really don’t know. Yeah, I tend to think about stuff like that. I’ll
just have random things pop into my mind. That, of course, somebodys’ thought about,
but we don’t know the answers to.

Like one think I don’t think we’ll ever know the answer to, is space really infinite? We
don’t have the technology to go far enough to know if there’s something beyond space.
You know, I’m not a real religious person, but heaven and hell. Is heaven beyond space?
I really don’t know.

What's at the depths of the deepest part of the ocean?

We really don’t know.

So I have no idea. . .

The meaning of life. . .

I think that there is so much outside of what we understand. Like what is beyond the
sky. And is there a heaven or is there a hell. I think about that kind of stuff a lot. What is
beyond space?

AND THUS WAS THE COMPLETE DISILLUSION OF THE STATE

AND THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR OF TRIBES
Book 1 - The Creation - PART 2 - THE IDUMEAN WAR

In the beginning was the great war

The war in Idumea
This was a war among men
And of the gods of men
Who inhabited the starry heavens
Before the world was

From the gods of the past

Whose followers lifted up bones
From their place in the earth
To harrow their wounds
And rebear their pains

To sacrifice
To consecrate
In brilliant colors round
A flag for each injustice
Placed at Will across the ground

A flag for the Poor, but rich in spirit

A flag for the twisted, but proud
A flag for the Devil that’s misunderstood
A flag for his servants around him

And each may gather under their flag

To sacrifice
To consecrate
In brilliant colors round
A flag for each injustice
Placed at Will across the ground

Yet other gods were formed

Namely the gods of today
The gods of the things you must have in your hands
The gods of the food in your mouth
 These gods demand total devotion
To life as a grey cloud
A cloud in which you run as fast as you can
To stay in one place

Remember
The chaos is in the room
Potential needs a container
Clean the bowl on the inside
And it will hold the water of life

Alas
A new god has risen
Nay a timeless god
Who lives in a Field
And feeds her children emptiness
Good that cannot satisfy
That turns to ash in the mouth
That leaves the belly hungered
And the eyes blind

And this god was a young man

With an old and decrepit face
A very old man
Who slept in his way with a young woman
A goddess of darkness
To drive all enmity from the world
And leave it empty
With no man to till the ground
So that she can eat up all of the children of the new god
And devour his seed
And his unholy offspring
So that she may birth her demons
Into the world of night

And all men are guilty

For the blood is on their hands
So what must be done
Do they not know that all men must be crucified for the sins of the world
All men must die
 But be reborn
A resurrection

This to contrast the god of the mammon of this world

Which fills the temples of this world
With gold and silver
But casts the believers into the streets
And joins house with house

And his goddess

Breaks up this houses
And takes the Poot of the earth I to her arms
To sacrifice them
To herself
That their blood may fill all of those empty houses

This the god of mammon

And this the goddess of death
Are locked together
In one embrace forever
That when one dies
The other rises up
And when the other
Than the other

That all men and woman may suffer under their burthen
And that all may serve alone

Now each god and goddess

Must have a temple for their servants
A place of service for their followers

For the gods of the future

There are the great revolutionaries
Who meet in special streets
To pray
And sacrifice their fathers
To dragons in their souls
 For the gods of today
There are the communists
Who will remake the world
That everyone might be the same
That all might share in the grayness of being

For the gods of the past

The barons
Who gather together houses
And put together lands
That they may be all alone in the midst of the land

These gods are restless gods

These gods are gods that never sleep
That lie awake at night
Rustling in the dark
And scheming in their minds
To hide away from the light

What when the scheme was utterly revealed

The revolutionaries and the communists
Had something in common
This that they were unhappy with the way things were
So they gathered together
The sons of the future and the sons of today
To war against that barons of the past
The tyrannical father

But they could not find a common value

And they split into their proper factions
That all were in a great confusion

Thus placed in their desire toward change

Set out their premis
 The Manifesto of the Revolutionaries
We are in a war
It is either us or them
We will bring down the system
There will be a new government
There will be a new education
A new people
A new church
A new belief
A ne thought or ideology
We will bring about the new revolution

The world is unsure

Thoughts always change
I don’t know
The world is so unsure
Thoughts always change
Life can be irrelevant
When we do not know its meaning

Hmmm
They are choking us out with their smoke
They will not let us think
Revolution is not just to win the war
But to change the positivity of thought

Revolution is not just planting seeds of something better to come

But to join together and make the good come to ourselves quickly

BOOK 2: THE PROPHETS

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be” (Genesis
49:10).
My name is Shiloh

I am a wanderer.

A traveler through a broken world.

A world caked in ash and rubble of societies long passed away.

What is left is coated in chaos and darkness.

Through which I wander in search of the ever burning light.

The First Myth

In my wanderings today I stumbled upon a slender man. This was a very slender
man dressed in filthy rags and standing upon the side of the road.

This slender man had ragged hair and was missing both of his ears. So he was a
deaf man. And he was missing both of his eyes. So he was a blind man. And he had
a gaping hole for a mouth. And in that gaping hole I could see the dried blood upon
his lips. This was a dried blood of his tongue, which he had carved out.

I was interested in this slender man, so I was wont to spend the day with him. The
slender man was the follower of the dark priest of the mother of the whores of all
the earth. He was the follower of the dark priest of the dragon. This was the man
who had made the great sacrifice. The sacrifice of the child. And had cut out his
eyes and his ears and his tongue.

I am the Man of True Words. I am the power of the sun that burns up the dark
priest and the whore mother and the dark priest and the dragon.

What shall I do with this slender man. This slender man with no eyes no ears no
tongue and a dark heart.

If he is broken. If he is broken sufficiently, I will heal him.

I will take the hands of this slender man and I will guide his steps. And he will not
hear me, for he has no ears. And he will not see me, for he has no eyes. And he will
not speak, for he has no tongue.

But he will faintly feel my hand with his bloody fingers and must make a choice. To
hold to my hand and shuffle on his tired feet or to stay comfortably in the blood
and the dark. This is thy choice oh slender man.

But this was a holding slender man. A reaching slender man. A slender man who
reached into the darkness.

Who cried with the good cry: Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani.

‫هل تنسى المرأة رضيعها فال ترحم ابن بطنها؟ نعم قد ينسون وأنا ال‬
‫أنساك‬.
 .‫ أسوارك أمامي دائما‬.‫هوذا قد نقشتك على راحتي‬

If you reach toward my hands and you shuffle along, then will your feet become
stronger to move.

Then you will walk with me a mile. Then I shall go with thee twain.

If you shuffle toward that faint feeling you shall strengthen your feet. Then you shall
not shuffle, but you shall stumble and walk and will touch my clothes and continue.

If you shall reach out far to touch my clothes then will I sit you down on a seat and I
shall wash out the blood that has dripped from thy eye holes and the blood that
has dripped from thy ear holes and the blood from thy tongue. And thou shalt be
clean from thy blood.

Then I shall speak truthful words unto you and thy ears shall grow back from these
truthful words, like a seed growing into a tender plant. And then thou must protect
thy ears with truthful words, that they may grow.

Now that thy ears have begun to grow will come the dragon and the whore to cut
them off, but I will be with you and will protect your ears as they grow. If you
continue your walk with me.

Thou canst not yet fight a dragon, but must listen to truthful words. Then shall thy
eyes be opened all at once and thou shalt see the world as it is. And shall see its
mystery. And shall know.

And when thou shalt see thou shalt begin to speak, for thou shalt hear and see.
And thy tongue shall return unto thee and shall be thy sword. And thou shalt fight
the dragon with truthful words, yea the truthful words that thou hast heard from
the Man of True Words. And the dragon shall fall and the whore shall retreat into
her den and there shall be peace in thy mind and peace upon the earth.

The Second Myth

Today I walked a dusty road. A very long and a dusty road. And the dust was upon
all of the buildings. The dust was in all of the windows and among all of the places
in the city.

This was a statue city. A city of stone statues that had been broken down and my
father was there in the city of stone. But not the tyrannical father. My very beloved
father. My very beloved and father of my soul.

And my father had with him a small book. But the book was full of the dust. There
was dust covering my father and his book. His book that had come out of his
mouth.

But this was dark dust. This was not the dust of the father. This dust had come from
the good stone, but it had been ground down in the great waters.

And all men worshiped at the great waters. And the dust flew up and choked out all
of the life in the city.

And in the end were the perpetrators themselves. The murderers of my father. In
the end were they choked out by the dust and were carried away by the river they
had made unto a great water serpent.

Oh this was the great water serpent into which flows all of the great rivers. And the
great water serpent must live on these great water worshipers that are choked by
the great dust.

And the water serpent came up from the waters and consumed all of the dust and
made all of the city into the sea and consumed my father. My dead father and the
book that he had of the words of all of the great fathers.

What fear of the water serpent. But this is the water serpent with many heads. It
has heads upon heads. Cut off one head of the water spirit and two heads will
spring up again. This is the water serpent who ate up the words of all the great
fathers.
Sitting in the tower by my home I saw this great water spirit that had eaten my
father. So I looked up and I looked down and saw an old wise man. This was not a
peeping wizard man or a man given to much babbling. This was the man of wisdom
and the oldest man who knows to walk in the walking way.

It was this wise man that lifted me up and taught me of the wisdom of the words of
the great fathers. For this wise man had read the book that was eaten by that water
serpent.

And this was the word of that the wise man taught:

Take unto you a sharp sword, yea a sharp sword in the mouth.
Take unto you the great shield, yea the great shield of the book of the weight
bearing spirit.
Take unto you the high helmet, yea the high helmet that may stop all fiery darts.
Take unto you the feet shod, to take the book of weight bearing spirit unto all of the
world.

But I cried unto the wise man. How shall I learn of the wisdom of words? Yea the
wisdom of the words when I know not to speak.
And I have not been taught even my own name. How shall I learn all the mystery of
the wisdom of all wise words.

And the wise man said unto me: take in thy right hand a branch of a green tree and
take in thy left hand a branch of a dead tree and know how to make a cross
between the green and the dead tree. And the green tree will teach you the wisdom
of words of the green tree and the dead tree will teach you of the dead.

And this shall be as one staff in thy hand. And thy staff shall become a serpent. Yea
a serpent for thy hurt. But take up that serpent and then shalt thou know to walk
into the water and make the dry land of that water.
And thou shalt know to confront that water serpent with thy serpent staff of the
green tree and the dead tree.

And the water serpent shall come to thee and thou shalt confront that water
serpent with thy staff. And thou shalt cut off its head. And thou shalt take up the
meat of that water serpent and shell feed my children with the flesh of the water
serpent.

The First Romance

I passed through a world today and saw within it three men.

The first man was an old man, but he was an old man in swaddling clothes and lying
in a manger. An old and wrinkly man with no teeth and no hands. He was the
sleeping man. The sleeping man that no man must ever awaken.

But a woman wished to awaken the old man. For the woman wished to kiss the old
man and to bring him awake. THis was an old swaddled man.

Woman. Do not kiss the old man. Do not bring him awake. Do not kiss the man to
bring him awake for he is a rotten old man. And he has rotten while he sleeping.
Now he is a rotten sleeping old man.

But thus speaks the prophet who is late to tell the truth, for the woman kissed the
old man and he awakened. But he wanted not to be awake and he awoke in a
stupor.

So he reached out his old hand and scratched the woman across the eyes that she
see not and he curled back up to go to sleep.

But he did not sleep. He curled up and died alone in the darkness.

The Second Romance

This is the second romance of the great hero woman. This is the great hero woman
that goes out into the forest to find all types of dragons and monsters to fight.

This is the romance of the great hero woman, that goeth out to slay the dragon. But
she goeth out and she slayeth the dragon.

But two dragons live within the belly of that dragon. So she cuts those two dragons
into a million pieces.

But each piece grew up until it was a dragon greater than the first dragon. Yea it
was a million dragons greater than the first.

Who shall kill a million dragons that are greater than the first dragon?

Behold the woman shall kill each of these million dragons that are greater than the
first dragon, but she shall not do it until the knight cometh.

And the knight and the woman shall be as one and the knight shall slay a million
dragons and the woman shall tame the knight.

And this is how the woman shall slay each of these million dragons that are greater
than the first dragon.

And they shall live happily ever after.

The Third Romance

This is the romance of the great monster. Yes the great beast who lives in the dark
forest. And this beast is a great and hairy monster.

And he eateth up the wolf with his terrible teeth.

And he cutteth up the lion with his terrible claws.

And he stampeth out the snakes with his terrible feet.

And all men must stand back and be afraid of this terrible monster.

But the woman is not afraid of the beast. This is the right living woman. Yea the
young woman who is the right living woman who looketh up to the sun and is not
afraid to go up there and who looketh across the sea.

Yea this is the young woman who will stand.

And she will stand clothed in her beautiful robe. Yea her beautiful robe from the
stars of heaven. And she will stand with the book in her hand. Yeah the book of the
truthful word. And the truth of the world is the strength of the woman with the
robe from the stars of heaven. And the beast will see the beautiful garment and the
beast will change. This is the beautiful garment of the young woman and the
truthful book in her hand.

And the beast shall be a Perseus. Who cuts off the head of the medusa, who turns
the people to stone. And Perseus will love the woman with the beautiful robe and
the book that is full of the truthful words.

And they shall live happily ever after.

The Fourth Romance

This is the romance of the sleeping man. Yeah the sleeping man who loveth nothing
more than to sleep a great sleep. And he has slept a great sleep, yea a great great
sleep, but he sleepeth on.

FOR THERE IS NO END TO THE SLEEP THAT THE SLEEPING MAN SLEEPETH

And the sleeping man is dead. For a serpent shall come up from behind the mirror
and shall eat into his throat. Yea the great sleeping serpent that sleepeth the men
and turneth them into stone men. Yea the sleeping serpent of great sleep leaveth
his venom in the mind of the sleeping man and he shall cut out his throat and he
shall cut out the throats of the men and woman of the city and shall offer him up to
the sleeping serpent of great sleep.

That is not a romance

This is the romance of the sleeping man. Yeah the sleeping man who loveth nothing
more than to sleep a great sleep. And he has slept a great sleep, yea a great great
sleep.

THE SLEEP OF THAT SLEEPETH MAN MUST END OR THE SERPENT OF GREAT SLEEP
WILL CUT OUT HIS THROAT.

WAKE UP SLEEPING MAN

The sleeping man is awake and he looked around him and he was naked. ANd the
subtle serpent knew that he could do nothing to rip out the throat of the sleeping
man who was awake, for now it is the awakened man.

And the awakened man gave unto the sleeping woman and she was awakened and
the man and the woman saw that they were naked.

And the serpent was the subtlest serpent of all the great serpents of great sleep.
This was the sleeping serpent of subtle sleep that cuts the throat of the sleeping
man. And the serpent was disgusted with the awakened and naked man, so he hid
him in a grove. THis was a sleeping grove of the grove of groves.

DO NOT STAY IN THE GROVES OH MAN AND WOMAN. STAY OUT OF THE GROVES.

But they shall leave the groves for their shame. And they shall stand before God
and shall admit their wrong, and His light shall heal them, and they shall be as one
and one with God.

THIS IS THE STORY OF THE WISE MAN WHO LIVETH ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
THIS IS THE STORY OF THE WISE MAN WHO TELLETH HIS STORY TO THOSE WHO
CLIMB UP TO THE TEMPLE OF GOD ATOP THE MOUNTAIN
Let me tell you a story young man.

When I was a young man I watched my father die before my eyes.

We were a ways away and across the mountain from my great home where my
mother was waiting for us to return.

So I lifted up my father upon my back and I carried him across a desert.

Then I carried him across the river.

And I carried him to the top of the mountains.

And atop the mountain I found a man who lived in a small dirt hut.

And the man said unto my lay thy father down and come with me to eat and to
drink. So I laid my father down and the old man gave me to drink and to eat.

But what, when I looked back and went unto my father his body had gone away and
there was nothing left of him.

And the old man said “this is the beast that devoureth the father. Yea he is in the
belly of the beast that devoureth the father”.

And the old man taught me of his word and he clothed me in his robe and he said
unto me: Go and get thy father out of the belly of the beast, lest thy father die
forever.

So I rose up and I took my sword from out of the stones and I brought my shield up
unto me.
And on my shield was written: This is the shield of the right knowledge of God

And on my sword was written: This is the sword of the true world, yea the spoken
word that cometh down from heaven.
And I took with me the shield of the right knowledge of God and the sword of the
true and spoken word,

And I confronted the beast and I cut him up into a thousand pieces. And I threw
him into the darkest pit.

And I took unto me the body of my father. And brought him again to the wise old
man. And He planted a tree in his heart. And that tree grew up and gave new life
unto my father. And it brought my father up again from death.

THE STORY OF THE RIGHT MAN WHO WALKS THE PATH UNTO THE TREE OF LIFE

This is the story of the right man who walks upon the path unto the tree of life.
This is the tree of life that gave life unto the father and is planted to bring the father
up again from the depth of death and to shine light upon the darkness of sin.

Across the way of the tree of life is the great building of the mocking world. These
are men that get their words from the great dragon and the mother of all the
whores of the earth. ANd the pass them out all of their words and their marks and
their rites and their sacrifices. ANd they say the words of the great dragon, yea they
all say the same words. And the words drift across the land to lead the child into
the pit, to lead the woman into the river, and to lead the man into the darkness.

But this is the story of the right man who walks upon the path unto the tree of life
and unto his father. For the right man taketh the path that is straight and narrow.
ANd there is no fear of the men in the great building of the dragon and the mother
of whores.

For the right man bindeth himself to the virgin.

THERE IS NO FEAR OF THE MOTHER OF WHORES LIKE THE RIGHT MAN WHO IS
BOUND UNTO THE VIRGIN

And they are made as if with steel and brass. And the winds of the way do not blow
them from their straight path. ANd they know to walk alone in the darkness. For
they have within them a great light and a place to go in all their affliction.

For they have been made with steel and brass. And when the mother of whores
cometh screaming upon them and beat upon their chests and scream into their
faces, they are unmoved and in their calm.

For the wind whistleth in the top of the trees and that is the hearing of the right
man and the virgin. And they hear not the screaming or see not the cutting of the
priests of the mother of whores.

But cold is the wind of the mother of whores. And there shall be a cold wind and a
fire. And the fire shall burn and the cold wind shall chill, but the virgin and the right
man are not moved. For they are clothed in long robes and many garments. And
these are the robes and the garments that protect them from the cold wind and the
fire of the mother of whores. And they stand firm upon a firm stone, and no man
shall move them from their stone.

The young man will stand. There is no fear of the mother of whores like the
young man. The young man has a small book filled with life words. This is the book
is filled with the Truthful Word that cometh down from heaven. This book is filled
with the Truthful Word of the Godly Man. The young man will stand and he will
open the book and will read it unto the people. He will read it unto the people and
the world will change. He will read it unto the people and then the book will be in
the heart of every man. This is the book of the true word.

The young woman will stand. There is no fear of the mother of whores like
the young woman. The young woman stands with a beautiful robe. This is the
beautiful garment of the young woman that comes down from the Father in
Heaven. THis beautiful garment is a symbol of the power of the young woman, for
she will wear the beautiful garment and the world will see her and the world will
change. This is the beautiful garment of the young woman. The true garment of the
young woman who will stand.

The young man will stand. There is no fear of the mother of whores like the
young man who stands. The young man is a hungry man. The young man is a
hungry man with a hunger that cannot be satisfied. But the hunger of the young
man is not a hunger of cakes like the hunger of shadow men. The hunger of the
young man is not a hunger of cakes. The hunger of the young man is a hunger of
the good books. The good books will fill the hunger of the young man. All the good
books will fill the hunger of the young man. The right history will fill the hunger of
the young man who will stand. The right history of peoples and places and things.
The right philosophy will fill the hunger of the young man who will stand. The right
philosophy of the right living of many great fathers. The right religion will fill the
hunger of the young man. The religion of the true worship of the True God. The
right science will fill the hunger of the young man who will stand. The right science
that walks in light and searches for truth. The right literature will fill the hunger of
the young man who will stand. The right literature that contains many mysteries
from the True God revealed to many men across the whole earth. This will fill the
great hunger of the young man. The right art will fill the hunger of the young man
who will stand. For he who creates stands with God.

THE CAKES
There is a man that I know that lives in a palace in Mombavai Mambassa. This is a
great palace that is full of all manner of cakes.
In the dining room there is a grand cake that sits on the table. This is a grand rich
chocolate cake of the finest german chocolate. When you cut into this great cake it
is remarkably moist and tender. There is a layer of chocolate made with baking
chocolate and buttermilk. There is a pecan coconut frosting covering the totality of
the cake.

A white angel food cake sits in the next room. And there are white cupcakes all
along the walls and all around the room.

There are cupcakes of all kinds that line the walls of the room. Any guest that is
passing through can have their fill of cupcakes and angel food cake in that room

A pleasant strawberry shortcake sits in the drawing room. Sit and think in the
drawing room.

Cakes and cakes and cakes. There is nothing in this palace but to eat and eat cakes.

There is a man who lives in this palace of cakes. This is a remarkably fat and large
man who has eaten his fill of cakes all of his life. He has become sick with cakes. But
he cannot stop eating cakes and cakes and cakes and cakes.

But he has had all of the cakes and the cakes all are the same on this day. All of
these different cakes are as ash and taste as ash in his mouth.

He eats and he eats different cakes, because his father ate cakes and his fathers
father ate cakes. But he is sick of cakes and they are as ash in his mouth.

What shall the man do that he is not beaten down and destroyed by these many
cakes. What shall this man do that he is not droned into solidarity and a pool of
gray and constant cakes.

What must this man do that he be not swallowed up and consumed by his cakes.
There is a star in the east that burns brighter than any of the other stars of the east.
This star is made for a star of dreams. When you seek after a high dream from this
star and you follow the way of the star.

This man must look up from his cakes and he must see the beauty of the star that
burns in the east. This beauty must captivate the man as a burning bush in the
desert. And that star must be the aim of the man.
But the star is an aim in the dark and it is mixed in with the light of a million stars.
But this star is the brightly burning star and the burning bush that is in the desert.

And that star must guide the journey of the man, for he must forsake his house and
his cakes and he must walk out into the desert. And he must follow the star and he
must dream a dream.

He must dream the dream that the wise men dream. The wise man that follow the
star across the desert to see the child in the manger. He must dream the wild and
chaotic dream. The dream that has never been dreamed before. The impossible
dream.

And he must follow the dream into the desert. Out into the desert where there are
no cakes and there is no water. and he must stay out in the desert for forty years
and he must not have any cakes.

And he must walk out in the desert for forty years for his dream. And when he has
wandered for forty years he will come to an everlasting spring of water. A spring of
water that cometh forth and bubbleth up for all time. And a spring of pure and
living water.

And there he must build a city upon that hill. To till up the land and to plant a
garden in the desert.

And that city will shine upon the hill and that garden will grow up in the desert. And
this garden will be the joy of the man. To till the land and to keep the garden and to
keep the people in the city. ANd this shall justify the life of the man and it will justify
the wanderings of the man into the desert.

THE RIGHT WAY TO SLAY A DRAGON

The Room of Books
I walked into a library that was full of dusty old books and there were dusty old men
who read all of the dusty old books.

And the old men spoke to the people and the people walked according to their
words.

And the people were blessed.

But these dusty books cried out to the people and said “Oh people. We shall not
long be with you. For we are old and dusty books.

Take ye the rod of our making and the scroll of our inscription and write upon it thy
own word.

And the word of its inscription shall be a new law unto you. And we shall form a
circle around that law and it shall be a new book unto you.

And the old men were distraught by the word that these books spake unto the
people.

So they gathered themselves together and they piled up these books to light them
up and burn them away.

But the books had left their seed with the young men. And the young men held fast
to the word that was spoken by the dusty books.

And they wrote a new book upon the fleshy tablets of their heart.

And when they saw a lion in the wilderness this book taught them to make a sword
and slay it.
And when they saw the mother of whores and her children flooding the earth, this
book taught them to keep their hearts intact.

And when they saw the Tyrannical father and his children flooding the earth, this
book taught them to break their walls and to escape into the desert.

And when the dragon screamed out his terrors and raged in the hearts of the
children of men, this book taught them the walk in the light and to have no fear of
the dragon.
The Right Aim

Now the dragon is in the land and the book that is in the heart of man has taught
him to have no fear of the dragon.

Now for this slaying of the dragon must come out of the book a bow and arrow.
ANd the right man must pull a bow and an arrow out of the book.

And with this bow the man can shoot toward the dragon. Or he can shoot himself
in the heart and float down toward the great hell.

For this the man must learn the right aim and must practice the right aim.

The man must take out his bow and he must aim at the right target and fire so that
he misseth the mark.

ANd then he must pray for he misseth the mark. And then he must come to a
nearer target and fire so he misseth the mark again.

And he must pray for he misseth the mark. And so he must move right up to the
nearest target beside him and he must fire.

And so he misseth not the mark. ANd he knoweth to hit the mark

So he continueth to hit the mark and miss the mark until he can hit the farthest
mark.

And then is the man ready to hunt the dragon that is hidden down in his own soul.
And he will hunt the dragon and he will miss the mark and he will hit the mark. And
when he learneth to walk in the way and he learneth to hit the mark this is the
salvation of the right man from the dragon.
The Right Map

Now the man has with him the new book of truth that teacheth him to walk after
the way of the highest mountain.

And the man has with him the right aim that can slay the dragon when he findeth
him.

Now it is time for the man to find the dragon. Thus from his book and his aim he
derived a map through the wilderness

And this is the map that the man will use to find the dragon, that he may shoot it
with his arrow and he may recognize it with his book.

And this is a map that is made by the man. For he knoweth where the dragon lies,
but he knoweth not how to walk to the dragon.

So the man must write in his map all of the mountains that he must climb. And he
must search out all of the caves wherein the dragon may lie. That he climb all of the
necessary mountains and search within all of the necessary caves.

And the man must write in his map all of the pits that are in the land. Lest he fall
into a pit himself and he be left there for dogs to eat and snakes to strangle and
gobble up.

And the man must write in the map where the water is. That he may have water to
drink as he is on his way walking to slay the dragon. ANd he must know between
the fresh water and the poisen water that will not help him continue on his way.

And the man must write in his map the places where animals roam, that he may
have what to eat and what to hunt from his expert shooting of the arrow.

And the man must write in his map all of teh peoples that he shall meet as he
walketh through the desert.
And some people shall be unto him as a guide.

And some people shall be unto him as hunters. That will hunt down his dragon and
take it from him. He must watch and run faster than these people.

And some people shall be unto him as serpents. Who wait to fill his body and his
mind with poison.

And some people shall be unto him as the jaguar. Who will wait in the dark and kill
and eat him.

Yet many men will stand to the side and eat and drink in a great building. These
may call to the man, but in no wise heedeth the man to the eating and drinking
men of the great building.

And the man must know to walk away from all these.

And the right man must know.

What time he shall wake

And what time he shall sleep

What time he shall run

And what time he shall rest

What time he shall eat

And what time he shall starve

The steps through the wilderness and every landmark along the way. Until he
findeth and slayeth the dragon and taketh the maiden who is there and the
treasure that is there.

ANd all of this must be written on the map that leads to the dragon. Yea all things
that the young man an think of that shall lead unto the dragon must be written
upon the map.
The Right Meditation

The right book will speak truthful words and orient your vision in the world.

The right aim will let you slay the dragon.

The right map will take you through the wilderness.

Now how canst thou, but a weak child, walk through the wilderness fasting?

How canst thou climb out of the pit and cut your hands?

How canst thou run from the snakes?

How canst thou run from the jaguar?

How canst thou run from the lion?

How canst thou run from the bird?

Life is suffering young man and suffering taketh away thy happiness.

A life of meaning is the gold behind the dragon and the journey to the dragon and
the slaying of the dragon.

When thou walkest through the desert and thou hast no water and none
comfortest thee, right meditation is to walk on for the book that is written in thy
heart.

When thou art pained with a hunger and there is no bread to eat, right meditation
is to walk on for the book that is written in thy heart.
When thou fallest into the pit and snakes are around thee and darkness closeth in
on thee, right meditation is to climb out of the pit.

And when thou fallest back into the snakes, right meditation is to get up and to
climb out of the pit.

And though thou fallest back into the pit of snakes seven thousand times, right
meditation is to get up and climb out from the pit.

And when the men around you beat you. ANd thy best friend pulleth his knife from
out of thy back. And thy children are dead and thy wife is ravaged and the earth
closeth in on the.

When thy rollest thy stone up upon the hill. And when thou art in the dungeon.

When thou art chained to the wall

When thou art in the desert.

Thou shalt arise in the morning and thou shalt take thy book and take thy arrows
and take thy map and slay the dragon for that is the right meditation.
REMEMBER THIS PROVERB

The morality of rules is the morality of a child. The morality of the

right man is the awakened one.

The spirit of the child is the rule following the spirit. The spirit of
the right man is the higher spirit.
PART 3 - THE DREAM OF THE COLORS

I was lying in a boat.

The purple sky above me was misty and the stars pierced through the mist like a
thousand tears in the fabric of reality. Giving me a peek at what was beyond.

What was beyond?

That light beckoned and invited. It bore an inquisitive and generous nature. Like
one father made up of a thousand bright sons.

It was dark.

Around me and around the boat. I could not see what was around me as I was lying
down, but I could feel it.

I could feel that it was most purple. That everything was a dark purple. A misty
purple. This must needs be a purple river.

I am not in the habit of sitting up in a drifting boat, but I think that I will sit up in this
one. . .

There I sit in the boat on the river. The stars shine above in the night sky and are
reflected in the water. I am a speck in eternity. I am floating in the expanse of
eternity.

I am moved by a landscape of stars. That twist and bend until they form a great
tree. A great tree that sits beside the green tree.
And the leaves float down and mingle with the stars. The stars that stare down
upon me. Sitting by my tree. Alone in the night.

...

Suddenly I am shifted in a dream. And I am taken to the city where I was born. But
the soul of the city has been replaced and everything is twisted and crooked and
colorless.

I walk around the city looking for someone, but the houses and the buildings are
empty and abandoned. They are turned over to their sides and broken down.

I come across a garden in the city full of dead plants that are brown and dry. Upon
looking more closely I see one red flower in the midst of the garden.

One read flower that is vibrant and persisting in the dead. Suddenly the dead plants
awaken and move in and choke out the flower. They wrap around it and choke it
out.

There lay the red flower. Dead and cold in the midst of the dead garden in the dead
city.

Suddenly the life of the flower drains from it and its vibrant color drains away only
leaving the grey. And the color drains into the garden and into the streets and into
the houses.

And the city returns to life. The color flows down the grey street and into every
house. The homes straighten and the window return and the doors. And the sun
shines up in the sky again. And all of this flows from the flower that was cut upon
the ground.

But I am not the same. I am beaten down and heavy in my soul.

The sky is blue and gray.

Everything around me swirls and the colors mix together. I am one with time and
with the larger community.

I am one with the world around me.

My heart is heavy, but there is a hand reaching down to lift me up.

The river runs into the clouds and I lose all sense of place and time. If there is one
place or person lifts men and knows me let it cry out to me.

Let that place beyond history or time reach out to me and comfort me.

All of my life is caught up in a rotating shell. It is surrounded by stones.

But stones must break and out of these stones water must come. Water that must
carve new caverns and make new valleys. Water that must bring me to new
horizons and take me over hidden mountains.

Lift me up upon eagles wings and take me away. Do not let my soul be lost in thy
way. Bear me up when I am sad and when my soul slumbers awaken it.

I have cried in the desert and I have been alone. I have sat in the darkness and I
have wept. Do not let my soul bear down upon me Lord.

Let my blood and thine mix together. Do not let my blood be spilt in vain.

Keep me in thy straight way.

I was rustled once again from my dream, but unto a dream within a dream. A
woman with a shroud of blue and white stood off in the distance. In her hand was
on a golden staff and she held in her other hand a silver cross.
Suddenly Everything above me was a brilliant blue. All of the stars and the moon
were golden and shining in the distance. And this gold shed a light upon everything
that was around me and all things upon which I sat. And this golden light was
beautiful and clear and good. And all things shone with a pleasant chrystal like
perfection. And everything was the most pure expression of its true being. And all
things were as one and all things were bound together in a perfect universal whole.
A great circle that manifested itself to me again and again across the length of time,
until it filled the expanse of space.

Then I looked down upon the ground and light shone out of there. And this light
endowed each object and each movement upon the earth with the most profound
and vibrant meaning.

And suddenly I was on a path, which moved through a forest of trees. The sun was
down, but the path was lit by this interior light that flowed through and was in all
things.

And this light grew until it filled the expanse of the universe.

And suddenly I was aware of how small i was and yet how utterly and completely I
was a part of something far greater than myself. Something that was one and at the
same time many things. The source of inspiration and the artist who creates. The
ever present father and the sacrificial son.

All at once I felt at one with the source of inspiration. I felt that the words that I
wrote were coming through me, not from me. That there was a separate and
profound truth to be found in them.

And just then I glanced out across the plain to the purple mountains in the distance
and to the setting sun. And I remembered a story I heard once about a young boy
who was born among animals. And he was born to a virgin. And this boy grew up to
be a man. And as a man he faced a lion and he tamed that lion. And he faced a bear
and he tamed that bear.
But when he faced the evil of man that evil came upon him and prevailed against
him. And beat down upon him. And everything was darkness and everything was
evil in all the world. And in the distance you could hear a mother who was crying for
her Son. And sons who were crying for their Father.

Light

What marvelous light burst forth then.

A light in the darkness to disturb the comfortable and make rough every plain
place. And this light burst forth and walked among men for a time. And the light
burned in all men and through all men and enlightened all men everywhere.

Muhammad in his desert land.

Zarathustra who lived upon the mountain

Moses who redeemed the people of israel

And the past was the present. And the present melded into the past. And all time
mixed together as one like a group of painted colors. And the colors picked up their
instruments and joined in an orchestra of beautiful sounds.

A jazz quartet playing colors from their instruments. And this in the end was
heaven.

A bass player plucking strands of blue and pulling those strands through the fabric
of existence.

A drummer who shot sparks of red and yellow up into the sky like a thousand
words of prayers. Gasps of desperation of the mother who is losing her baby and
the child who lays alone in the hospital bend.
Oh but the pianist. Who is playing that piano but the Great Redeemer Himself. The
Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. And in his song he mentions each son or
daughter of God and brings conclusion to all suffering.

What music are they playing? What are these sweet tones?

Quietly and breathily the vocalist sings

Redemption

Redemption

Redemption

And suddenly all three as one begin to raise their strains up on high and the words
mix with the Word of the music and everything is as one.

And the light turns from red to yellow and back to red and everything is on the
point of rising up on high

ANd then it stops and the lights turn to a shade of cool and amorous blue. And the
keys cool off and the drums slow down and the bass takes on its voiced wonder of
everything it is and isn’t.

And that song of songs that glory of glories that memory of what once was drifts
sweetly and slowly up unto. . .

Silence
BOOK 3: THE DREAM

God is He who creates the world out of material order and chaotic intelligence.

God is He who walks on the water and will be raised up into heaven. He who pays
tribute to the Romans and defies the authority of the Pharisees

God is one and many

God is and the way of God is

I am that I am and I am is His name

God is the mystery. God is known by His children

Matthew 10:26-31
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
and hid, that shall not be known.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that
preach ye upon the housetops.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the
ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Numbers 16: 20 - 35

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
moment.

And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel
followed him.

And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side:
and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their
wives, and their sons, and their little children.

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these
works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the
visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me.
But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them
up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye
shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord.

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the
ground clave asunder that was under them:

And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and
all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth
closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest
the earth swallow us up also.

And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty
men that offered incense.

2 Samuel 6: 1-9
Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of
Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of
the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of
Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the
new cart.

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah,
accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of
instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels,
and on cornets, and on cymbals.

And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the
ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for
his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and
he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord
come to me?

Psalm 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the
eagle’s.

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that
fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from
us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no
more.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear
him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to
do them.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Job 1
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect
and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five
hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so
that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and
called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and
sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings
according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have
sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the
Lord, and Satan came also among them.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the
Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down
in it.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and
escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that
he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance
is increased in the land.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to
thy face.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon
himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the
Lord.

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking
wine in their eldest brother’s house:

And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the
asses feeding beside them:

And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the
servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is
fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and
consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made
out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and
slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell
thee.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy
daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four
corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only
am escaped alone to tell thee.

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the
ground, and worshipped,

And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither:
the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job 2
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before
the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the
Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down
in it.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and
escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me
against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will
he give for his life.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse
thee to thy face.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils
from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the
ashes.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and
die.

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What?
shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this
did not Job sin with his lips.

Job 3
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

And Job spake, and said,

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a
man child conceived.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light
shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the
blackness of the day terrify it.

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the
year, let it not come into the number of the months.

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none;
neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine
eyes.

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of
the belly?

Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been
at rest,

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of
is come unto me.

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Job 38
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast
understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the
line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of
the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband
for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud
waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to
know his place;

13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken
out of it?

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search
of the depth?

17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of
the shadow of death?

18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place
thereof,

20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know
the paths to the house thereof?

21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy
days is great?

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the
treasures of the hail,
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and
war?

24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the
lightning of thunder;

26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein
there is no man;

27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender
herb to spring forth?

28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath
gendered it?

30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus
with his sons?

33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in
the earth?

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover
thee?

35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to
the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they
wander for lack of meat.

Job 39

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou
mark when the hinds do calve?

2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when
they bring forth?

3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their
sorrows.

4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and
return not unto them.

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild
ass?

6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the
driver.

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green
thing.

9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the
valleys after thee?

11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to
him?

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy
barn?

13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the
ostrich?

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break
them.

16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her
labour is in vain without fear;

17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her
understanding.

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the
armed men.

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the
sword.

23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it
is the sound of the trumpet.

25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong
place.

29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

Job 40
Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,

2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God,
let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be
righteous?

9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and
beauty.

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and
abase him.

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked
in their place.

13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to
approach unto him.

20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass
him about.

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up
Jordan into his mouth.

24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Job 41
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou
lettest down?

2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the
merchants?

7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of
him?

10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the
whole heaven is mine.

12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his
double bridle?

14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be
sundered.

18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the
morning.

19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they
cannot be moved.

24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they
purify themselves.

26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the
habergeon.

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Job 42
Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden
from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I
understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou
unto me.

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said
to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two
friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my
servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall
pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have
not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went,
and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.

10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the
Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that
had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and
they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought
upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of
gold.

12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had
fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen,
and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia;
and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and
their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’
sons, even four generations.

17 So Job died, being old and full of days. Lo

Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar
Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa,
unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and
lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she
should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the
shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a
manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told
them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the
shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that
they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his
name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived
in the womb.

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were
accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall
be called holy to the Lord;)

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A
pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the
same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy
Ghost was upon him.

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death,
before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the
child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is
set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be
spoken against;

35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many
hearts may be revealed.

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of
Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her
virginity;

37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not
from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of
him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they
returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace
of God was upon him.

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom
of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried
behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and
they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in
the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son,
why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee
sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be
about my Father’s business?

50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto
them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Luke 18
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were
righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a
publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am
not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto
heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for
every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall
be exalted.

Matthew 22
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his
talk.

16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master,
we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest
thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or
not?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto
Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their
way.
Luke 22
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared
the people.

3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the
twelve.

4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he
might betray him unto them.

5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the
absence of the multitude.

7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may
eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a
man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he
entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee,
Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
passover.

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you
before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the
kingdom of God.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among
yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of
God shall come.

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying,
This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my
blood, which is shed for you.

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by
whom he is betrayed!

23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should
do this thing.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the
greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them;
and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the
younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that
sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that
he may sift you as wheat:

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren.

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to
death.

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou
shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes,
lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and
likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And
he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an
end.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is
enough.

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his
disciples also followed him.

40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into
temptation.

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and
prayed,

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my
will, but thine, be done.

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were
great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them
sleeping for sorrow,

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of
the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him,
Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and
healed him.

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the
elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords
and staves?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me:
but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house.
And Peter followed afar off.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down
together, Peter sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon
him, and said, This man was also with him.

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And
Peter said, Man, I am not.

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a
truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet
spake, the cock crew.

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word
of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice.

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him,
saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the
scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say
that I am.

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard
of his own mouth.

Luke 23
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him
and said, Thou sayest it.

4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching
throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him
to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see
him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to
have seen some miracle done by him.

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed
him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they
were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the
people,
14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the
people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this
man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done
unto him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us
Barabbas:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into
prison.)

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found
no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And
the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into
prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming
out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also
bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but
weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the
barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover
us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they
crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they
parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him,
saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and
Hebrew, This Is the King of the Jews.
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be
Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man
hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in
paradise.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until
the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I
commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly
this was a righteous man.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which
were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood
afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good
man, and a just:
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of
Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was
hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. Un

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and
beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath
day according to the commandment.

Luke 24
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the
sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with
them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men
stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in
Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be
crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to
all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other
women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld
the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that
which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which
was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus
himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have
one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art
thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to
pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus
of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the
people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to
death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and
beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were
early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a
vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even
so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the
scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though
he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the
day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it,
and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their
sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked
with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the
eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them
in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your
hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have
ye here any meat?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was
yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of
Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and
to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name
among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and
blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and
carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

The End
