The recent tragic bombing of the Boston Marathon prompted, not surprisingly, a renewed outpouring of conspiracy alarms. The last decade of trillion dollar wars, all to no credible purpose, does not ease the public mind when asked to accept official explanations. And regrettably, our mainstream media is polarized as never before. The blather that passes for “news” bombarding us round the clock is easy to pigeonhole. The conservative right apologizes for officialdom, even as they decry our loss of freedom, while the liberal left calls officialdom to task, while decrying our loss of freedom, the same as the right. Both sides see our freedom disappearing. When both sides of our polarized mainstream media agree, we have reason to be wary.

“Beliefs do not have to be true to be useful, but it is immensely useful to believe what is true because then we will never need to change our minds and start over.” The Book of Ernest, p. 290

We survived the winter solstice of 2012 and end of the Mayan calendar, leftover with a legacy of “channelings” and bewildered by a gusher of supposed galactic secrets. What is to be believed? Were we implanted here by some superior culture from another star? Sirians? Pleiadians? Starseeds? Extraterrestrials? Without being unduly credulous, we want only the truth. With so many sources claiming higher knowledge, where do we start?

Many times we give God credit where no credit is due. We look at the aching world we live in and question how a loving God would permit this, even though we know in our hearts this aching world is our own doing.

There are a few simple things we all know about God that should allay this confusion. But before continuing, let me offer an observation or two about this word “God.” In the English language “God” is masculine, and the pronouns we capitalize referring to “Him” are masculine. We also speak of “His Son,” in a collective sense referring to the whole of His creation. The great transformation underway in this current age is a rebalancing of masculine and feminine energies, as our women come into their power as women, and none too soon, I should add. It seems that the preservation of this world we live in and all life thereon hangs in the balance.
