“He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been bad or good so be good for goodness sake. So you better watch out, better not pout, better not cry, I’m telling you why,” God hides within us.
I couldn’t resist using this great old song that everyone who believes in Santa Claus knows and loves. We all know it because it makes us feel someone is watching out for us. The idea of God is so strong it isn’t easy to use in a popular kids’ song like “Santa Clause is Coming to Town”. God is coming to town just doesn’t have the same ring to it. And God isn’t known to be much fun, even though he can be. God’s got a great sense of humor and one hell of a bad temper. I hate messing with him because he reminds me of my Grandfather when he got mad. Man he could get pissed off. But I loved my grandfather and he knew it, thats why no matter what I said or did he never got too mad at me;instead he’d tell me stories of how he would get mad at my father and play tricks on him. His stories where really funny most of the time, except when my father told them, but often he would laugh at himself, when my grandfather told them around the kitchen table. My father often added to the stories and would laugh with my grandfather at how he reacted to some of my Grandfather’s tricks. But privately my father would sometimes curse him for his temper, just like I cursed my father when he got mad at me. But after time I learned to forgive my father, just as he learned to forgive his father.
I laugh and cry when I think of those men who influenced my life in so many ways. But as I consider the greatest father of all time The Creator, I have to wonder what the hell is happening with him lately. I mean what’s with all the wars and tornados and hurricanes and floods and fires and horrible people ruling the world? What’s with all the bad food and GMOs and Nuclear Waste and biological testing and every other inconcievable nightmare known to man plaguing his earthly creations. This Greatest Father is acting like my grandfather did when he got mad. He would get mad at everybody. He didn’t talk to his sister and brother in law for a year, because he found out they were cashing his checks he would send to his elderly parents and spent it on themselves.
He got pissed off at a department store he made famous during the Great Depression for having the most creative window dressing in the country. My grandfather was the window designer. He was also the guy who invented the famous footprints on the sidewalk, which lead away from his competitor’s department store to his department store. He changed jobs as most people did during the Depression, but he was a loyal patron to the store until it changed managment during the early seventies. His loyalty and patonrage to the store and the family who started and ran the store for generations meant nothing to the new owners, who had grandiose ideas of modernizing the business and forgot, that all of their business came from patrons like my grandfather. When he was greeted by the new store manager with contempt stating he was “not with the times” and insulted his choice of apparel, when my grandfather simply asked if they carried a certain style of hat. My grandfather always wore a stylish men’s hat. My grandfather told him who he was, and that he had worked for the former owners during the Depression as their window designer, and made them one of the most famous department stores in the country. The manager laughed and pointed to a young girl, who was dressing a manniquin in their window display and said,” She does your job now.” My grandfather told me how pissed off he got and nearly hit the guy, when a young customer came in the door and the manager dismissed my grandfather and went over to greet the young man.
My grandfather made certain,that everyone in earshot of the store inside and outside that day knew what a little man and idiotic ownership now managed a once great business. He stopped people in the street to tell them how terrible the place was and all his old friends in town and former patrons like himself who had other bad things to say about the new owners. He made it his personal campaign to never set foot in the store again,and to tell anyone and everyone to boycott the store. I guess I inherited his temper. I do the same thing as an Activist, that my Grandfather did. But he would never allow anyone to call him an activist. He was an “Angry Citizen”, who let those he was angry at know who he was, and why he was angry at them. He would tell me,”What good does it do to hold your anger in? If they piss you off tell them, and God Damn them if they piss you off again for not listening to you the first time!”
When I think of my Grandfather’s temper and method of anger managment I wonder what God must think about his creation losing touch with him, even though he lives inside of us. He is in us, just as my grandfather’s store was a part of him because he took pride in the store’s success for many generations, even though he worked for them for a few years during a time, when work was nearly impossible to get, and loyalty and appreciation for an employee meant something to an employer, during one of the most economically difficult times in World History. It meant alot to my grandfather and many of the patrons of that once nationally famous, now closed department store. I think my grandfather would be happy to know the store only lasted in business a few years after his death, even though he predicted its failure many times. It was part of his forgotten legacy, except for this mention by his proud grandson. But I know he would be proud if he knew my website is read by thousands of international readers in over 100 countries every month, and that a mention of a few of his life’s many experiences will be known by people of this generation.
We hate God when we hate ourselves, and love him when we love ourselves. I am certain that God lives within us all, but the reason he does not show himself to us in ways of kindness and love is because we show him no appreciation for his kindness and love. It is as simple as that. Love him and he loves you. Hate him and he will not show himself to you, except by his anger at you, because you are angry with yourself and will not accept his love and compassion. He angers because someone that he loves refuses to love him simply by loving themselves and others. How difficult is it to love yourself?
Today the Age of Materialism is promoted by mass media, manipulation of news and fashions and the cult of celebrity and fabricated expectations of people, the world has turned away from the simple expectations of the one who created them, which are a simple smile at our children or a kind word to our parents or our friends and neighbors. Why is it so hard for someone to be friendly with someone else? This day of social networks where people can have 5000 friends and know none of them is ridiculous, and an abomination of the meaning of friendship. How many Friends or Followers on Facebook or Twitter would lend their Friends or Followers a dime if they were in need, or how many would “Defriend” you if you shared an honest opinion of your political views, or religious views, or Obama Forbid, disagree with the Government? What a farce this entire world view has become. We are completely manipulated by false religions, false prophets, false advertisement, false news, false teeth, false hair, false food, false flag operations, falsehoods of every conceivable kind run rampant across the world created by The Creator of a great creation, once known as Humanity.
There are many billions of great and wonderful people who are living now and have lived in the past, and those people who have died are calling out from their graves to their ancestors living today to cherish the God within them, and cherish who they are not what they are told to be. The world is ending as we once knew it. But in the arrival of the Aquarian Age, a promise has been made by Our Creator, that claims this period in time will be the period of the return of Christ to Earth. He does not mean Jesus, he means Christ. Christ is in every man, woman,and child living today and throughout history. Christhood is the perfection of man, what their potential is, as the sons and daughters of a proud Father Creator.
I must make note for readers to review my post on Jordan Maxwell Lecture on Astro Theology, posted today on this website. It articulately explains how 16 major religions including Christianity have had the same Christ story, to explain the true word of God and his plan for his creation as a metaphorical symbol of Man’s greatness within himself, and that everyman has God in him and is capable of achieving Christhood. That time prophesied since the beginning of creation has come. As Santa is coming to town is sung by Christian children throughout the English speaking world let a new song be sung by all children throughout the world entitled “Christ is Coming to the World”, and they will sing it in a voice that will reach their father in Heaven, because they know he is inside them listening to them sing.
