Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
A Warning
Priests and bishops (clergy) are the lower orders of spiritual leadership. Saints and Sages are the uppers. Sages found religions. Saints illustrate them. And priests and bishops (clergy) administer their daily affairs. Priests and bishops (clergy) are executive officers. Saints are commanding officers. Sages are founding officers. When we are dealing with one who is pure in heart, we are dealing with a Sage.
Accusation of an innocent is crime. Accusation of a Sage is blasphemy. Accusation of a Sage by a priest or bishop is insubordination.
The condition of the churches today is precisely that the executive officers are in a mood of anarchistic insubordination. This is why the churches are in decline. The executive officers have allowed their native discernment to be seduced and overwhelmed by a spate of rebellious hysteria.
The executive officers of the churches are renegades.
A theologian with body-consciousness is an oxymoron. A theologian unfamiliar with the studied use of traditional Biblical vulgarities is an amateur in need of experience to ruminate upon. A theologian who can be destabilized by a careful and deliberate obscenity can have their career destroyed by a shrewd operator.
The only thing that matters, ultimately, is the primal bond. We can live in terms of it and be satisfied. We can live as if apart from it and remain unhappy.
The Call of the Divine is an invitation which has to be accepted.
Swami Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
The essential thing about an hypocrisy is that is contains both a truth and an untruth, one illuminating and cheering the other, the other distorting and grieving the one. Vacillation, which is the essence of weakness and therefore of sin, is caused by the presence of unresolved hypocrisy.
In ordinary usage, the terms Witchcraft, Heresy, Communism, Racism, Sexual Harassment and Homophobia are hypocrisies promoted by tyrannical minorities in order to weaken culture by inducing a general renunciation of common sense.
