The Gospel According to Judas - A Handbook on Life

So what the secret society of Christians told me was that there was a yellow dot floating in the aethers that would be the live, active representation of the Kingdom of Heaven, as I related before on the note on scale. If Adolf Hitler were the one to have seen it first, all humanity would be the subject of darkness and horror for an eternity. Fortunately, it was carried in the Gospel of Thomas, discovered again in 1945, in the 77th saying — and it was discovered by one Philip K. Dick. There were three other dots, other than the yellow one (the Knowledge): the white dot, seen by John the Baptist, the Power; the black dot, seen by me, the Mystery; and the purple dot, seen by Joan of Arc, the Certainty. Together we hold the new Heaven and the new Earth. The discovery of the yellow dot was arguably the most significant, ushering in a new age where all was light, where comes the coded decree, “Walt Disney is God.” Which was whispered to me when I was forever freed from the Black Iron Prison, Mother’s Day of 1991. Selah.

The Black Iron Prison (BIP), or Hell, was the abode of those who were damned, which would be everyone. There, all knowledge was forbidden, lest someone come upon the Knowledge. Therefore, its inhabitants were kept in the Stone Age, technologically, where there was no written word, and nothing could free them (iron being proof against stone). Jesus Christ was the one who set us free from the Law, which the BIP represented in its perverse and ultimate consequence of said Law. We were all trapped, damned, before the Son of God broke through that iron, when He defeated death (also represented by the BIP). The only one who could. And left behind therefore, the yellow dot in his wake. To those who know, the narrow way to salvation. Once shared by more than one mind, even through writing, the dots become a part of common reality. And so we are saved.

It was left until Walt Disney was God that the secret was to be revealed, what we started with: Judas volunteered. This was of the Mystery, the black dot that I was privy to, there being danger to the Mystery being seen before the Knowledge. (The black dot, I am told, was just a legend in the secret society of Christians, actually a terrifying concept in what it was thought to hold, and discounted by many as being just a myth.) If Judas is innocent, then we have a serious break in the doctrine. If this were to have been seen before the Knowledge, it might have been misinterpreted as the Knowledge. It is not the Gnosis. It speaks of the Mystery of that which is, that which was, and that which will surely come to pass. Amen.

The question comes to Job (from the Book of Job, natch), “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? … when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?” (NRSV) So going back to the point where I overheard that Lucifer was the creator of pain: that would make none of our woe from God, at all, wouldn’t it? One might think that though God is omnipotent, that His brightest angel would still have been a handful if he were to rebel and turn a third of the angels to his side. Suddenly you have heavenly (read: powerful) beings without any rules, grabbing for whatever power they can get their hands on, wreaking as much havoc as havoc can along the way. It would be a BIG DEAL. Because God is not the type to wave His hand and magically make things right again. He watched all 13.7 billion years pass before He came down to our sphere. There is a certain way He does everything (also we who serve Him). God is love, not magic.

So if the Gospel is wrong about Judas, why should we believe any of it at all? One thinks as to how the New Testament came to be in the first place. Notably, it was made of “books” that resonated with many of the populace, which seemed to help one the most make it through this life. No esoterica; those books that were obscure, which only were read by the fringe — these did not make it in. But we also know that the Gospels, and other books in the New Testament, were not written by whom they claim is their authorship. So what are we to believe? This is the new covenant, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. He writes His law in our hearts. What resonates with you? Can you just accept firstly that God is love? Then you pretty much have everything you need to discriminate. We can use this method further than this, too. What else can we trust?

What logic can be gleaned over the great swath of spiritual phenomena observed and reported? Is there any? Surely the spiritual world is unlike how things happen in the physical world; even two people of the same religion will see very different landscapes, while both claiming to have true vision. If we take some sets of visions as having reality, say, the prophets of the Bible, can we form a theory to how things just might work in the “unseen” world? What if our idea of form is fundamentallly different? What can we think of as true? Surely, that which relates of something in another place and/or time in the physical world, that means some reality must be accounted it. Perhaps that is the only indicator that whatever else the prophet says is true. If not, we have no basis to believe. And I think God holds to this rule.

Before I forget: Jesus is the Christ. This became evident to me only after years of Him banging his heart against this mad bugger’s wall. I had been in communication with him since 1991, but I was going through a massive messiah complex at the time, so whatever clues were dropped my way, I either ignored or denied. But looking at his point of view, and the fact that he never makes a mistake, ever, and can in fact solve every mathematical problem you can pose him (if he feels like it, he doesn’t have time to suffer every fool), can predict what’s going to happen to the dot, never lies, and can call Superman a wimp, and has an infinite IQ (if that has any meaning to you), and has told me about the light of God that he is that light I was told I am not, and what you have, my dear friends, is the literal Son of God, in the only job that is fit for him: messiah. That’s what Christ means, literally, “the anointed”, which is another way of saying “king”. KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. ’Nuff said.

Love is truth. What is love? If the universe existed and there were no love, would we all live in shadow, in Hades or Sheol, the ancient realm of the dead. What is real? How much will we succumb to the illusion, of material riches: gold, supercars, mansions, yachts: not even that we have them, but to drool over them, and envy the people who do? Love is free, and it is all that can mean anything, all that can give meaning to anything. We will find that the ground of being itself owes its very soul to love. But what is love? For if you think that love is cheap, you mistake the priceless for chewing gum. If you think to have power is to have power over love, you are sorely wrong. The best definition I’ve found so far: Love is give, and not take. A wonder. And that’s from the schocky movie Electric Dreams. Funny where is hidden great wisdom. Such is love.

So, what’s the difference? Why not believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, instead of the God who is love? The difference is what is at stake. If we do not believe in the FSM, it’s not really that big of a deal. But in believing in Jesus Christ, if nothing happens other than the intellectual acquiescence, one’s life changes. How can you believe? If there are an infinite manifold of questions why, and reasons why, one can go one of two ways, really: either to say it is all ultimately meaningless, or ultimately transcendent. Personally, I can’t think of how you can choose the meaningless. But that’s what we’re left with. Let’s see what Einstein said: “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” Guess which road leads to God. Guess which road I’d take.
