THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

The Gospel According to LUKE

 

chapter 10

Making the show. How to be. What to do. Luke says Jesus picked another 72 men and sent them out.

We take the theater we perform in our daily acting for reality. Megalomaniacs with ego problems. The problem is, we instinctively want to be gods and forget to notice that we are.

As summed up by whoever wrote Ecclesiastes. When one has tramped over land, sailed over seas and learned all there is to learn.

Then one knows: the best thing is to sit around with friends and observe some of the theater around us, ignore most of Holly or Bollywood and enjoy a bit of real paradise.

And work out a way for it to stay paradise. And with human souls screaming from the suffering of their bodies. Well, it’s hard on the ears.

Luke is trying to sell Luke more than he is trying to sell Jesus. He hasn’t really understood the difference between Moses and Jesus. We didn’t mention it, but Jesus was up on a hill last chapter and talked with Moses and Elijiah. Not a fucking chance. Jesus was teaching against the laws of Moses. Moses was a backward flying asshole tyrant.

GNB vs. 8: “... eat what is put before you,” EQ.

No.

Not if I don’t like it. Don’t put it in front of me.

In this chapter we have, if they don’t listen they can go to hell. Shake the dust of their town off your feet. Take back your offer of peace. This is the opposite of, ‘let’s just go’, from last chapter.

Very typical of religious writing. The Holy Scriptures, The New Testament and The Koran are all famous for it. Say anything and everything so anyone can justify anything and everything.

“The book says so.”

“Well for fuck sake you bubbling fools. A book is not authority or justification. It is a collection of words. Everyone is responsible for his or her actions. Even soldiers that are ordered to murder children. Stop being obedient idiots. Dumb sheep.”

This believing business must stop.

“Here kid. Here’s a religion for you. Follow it to the Tee or go to hell.”

“Thanks a lot. I will. And at the Tee, I’ll take out my club and knock the shit out of it.”

GNB vs. 26: Jesus answered him, “What do the scriptures say? How do you interpret them?” EQ.

Well, let me tell you how I, you narrator, interpret the goddamn Holy Scriptures.

It is a play. The obey play in the grand theater. It is a theater we have built on top, a little outside of, life. It has been written for those in charge: kings, priests, lawyers and the rest of the ruling elite. It is their objective to use the masses as soldiers and miners. Those taking part in the grand theater have the job to rape and plunder the earth, leaving a wake of poison, so that they, the very few, the ruling class, can build a big wall around their castles of luxury and keep the slave 3rd world at bay with their well paid world police force.

“Are you a bloody communist or what.”

“A historian.”

Then Jesus tells the classic Samaritan story. And this really sucks because it shouldn’t have to be told. There shouldn’t be different names for types of humans. There are many fools who still believe that there are Jews. That they are a separate creature from non-Jews. God said so. Or that Moslems are not the same as every other human. That they too are the chosen race and all other must die. Others say believe in Jesus or go to hell. And it is simply idiotic.

And Jesus wanted to point this out. Or his character.

It doesn’t matter what stupid crest you wear, what symbol is on your hat. What silly flag you wave. Ye who call yourself better because you belong to the ‘We are the best club.’ It is stupid theater. A tale full of sound and fury signifying absolutely fuck all.

The bloody guy is lying at the side of the road. What are we going to do.

Jesus goes to visit Martha who complains that Mary don’t help with the dishes. She sits at the feet of Jesus and listens to his teachings. And she also sleeps with Jesus and has his babies.

“It don’t say that.”

“No. Not unless you know the story.”


chapter 11

Oh Lord Jesus Christ. Teach us to pray.

For we are too bloody stupid to think of anything to say.

Our father and mother who have followed the laws.
You have given us religion and pulled out our claws.
We used to know that we were animals of the earth.
No we look to the media to see what life is worth.

“That ain’t how it goes.”

“I tell you, the only reason people believe the bible to be the word of God is because they have not read it.”

Give us this day process pork on a piece of bread.
We’ll cry your name when we kill the enemy dead.
Our God is mighty and we kill all the heathens.
If you don’t obey our laws you will stop breathing.

“Give it up.”

The Beelzebub story is repeated. Over and over. If the other primates aren’t paying you tax and playing by your random rules for fools, curse and accuse them, murder and abuse them.

Every time one bunch of mad ignorant primates takes over the mad primates that they destroy and whose land and resources they robbed, they make demons of their gods. And when it comes down to it, the only real God of the ruling class is always the same. Gold.

And this whole nonsense about driving out demons is purely fantastic. For there is no such thing. What approaches real are the forms of madness in the frightened oppressed primates. So if we interpret any meaning into the tedious story that differs little in its 4 times being told, and even these are not new, they are the stories adopted from times of old.

“What, then.”

“Demon is a state of mind. A theatrical madness that could be a release from any kind of frustration. But in the story, it most likely is just a story. And anyone that claims to drive out demons is simply telling stories.”

“Are you going to tell us what the book means.”

“This chapter is all the same again.”

“Jesus Christ, why the hell should I bother with this stupid painful life.”

“You silly person. Do you know not where you are.”

“What.”

“Most of your troubles are imaginary. Life has been rising up creatures for 4 billion years here on this planet. We are a long way beyond what we were; the road ahead is a long and winding road if we want to become conscious of the kingdom of God. Which is neither a kingdom nor of God.”

“When will I be through my suffering and see God’s kingdom that isn’t a kingdom ruled by tyrannical sods.”

“When you open your eyes and see. Remove the ruling class and let life be.”

“What if I don’t want to. What if I prefer to take comfort in my comfortable first world slavery and enjoy complaining about my horrid conditions. My hopeless case. And wallowing away my days in front of my television.”

“Be left behind as the world evolves around you.”

“All right. But how do I break these rusty chains.”

“Drop your yoke that the priests and lawyers have laid upon you and follow your intuition.”

“Where to.”

“To the age of reason. Let your light shine. Smash the symbolic monuments and free your mind.”

Jesus spends the rest of the chapter trying to piss off the prostitutes of the ruling class.

“I thought he liked prostitutes.”

“The priests and lawyers are the prostitutes. We had this twice already. He pisses them off so much that they arrest him and hang him on a cross to make a daughter company for Judaism.”

“Can you prove any of this.”

“It is what it is. The world has been covered in buildings that cost the poor great wealth and add gold luxury to the lives of the ruling class prostitutes.”

Murder the prophets, which we must translate to: teachers of higher wisdom. And make a nice tomb for then. Cenotaph to honour the wicked. Tombs to bury those who attempt to add meaning to the ever so frail language.


chapter 12

GNB vs. 1: - I mean their hypocrisy. 2. Whatever is covered up will be uncovered, and every secret will be made know. EQ.

It has been written and it has come to pass.

Paranoia is a tool of the devil. All of life is more real than an individual. And if you can let the individual go. Not die. Just its significance. Its obsessive greed. It becomes a different trip. It becomes a collective and in that collective is more knowledge than one head can hold.

It is simple math to understand that we communicate and work in one general direction.

And we must do it slowly. With knowledge and awareness. We need to learn to avoid the horrendous mistakes with which we have created our theater of life. It need not be and can not continue to be a tale told by idiots.

GNB vs. 4: “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot afterwards do anything worse. EQ.

This verse can only make sense if the writer is aware of reincarnation and the relevance that the individual is less important then the all of it. Even if reincarnation isn’t real, it is more important to fight the tyrants than to allow them to own and plunder the earth.

They teach us to fear God. And the God they have forced upon us is the God of unquestionable authority. The God that tells us we are to work as idiot slaves for the chosen ruling class and ignore reality. The creation of God has negated 4 billion years of life evolving and nailed it down into slaves and royalty.

It simply won’t work. God as an entity is a destructive lie. Life, evolution, will not sustain such a lie. If we insist on playing such a fantasy theater, life will wipe us out.

Gideon vs. 10: “And whosoever shall speak a word against the son of man it shall be given him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.” EQ.

Which means. There is no danger is cursing and cussing. The only sin is the sin against our nature. Against the billions of years of instinct. The spirit. The Holy Ghost. This may seem extrapolated but the message was written before the concept of instinct was put into the language. And when one sees the underlying tone of the Jesus character, one see clearly that he speaks of reincarnation, as in evolution, and instinct. That holy part of us that is reaching toward the gods. Don’t fuck with it by nailing down meaning. Kill your television.

GNB vs. 48: “Much is required from the person to whom much is given...” EQ.

Here’s another good one in the Moses theater update. GNB vs. 15: ... “Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed: because a person’s true life in not made up of things he owns, no matter how rich he may be.” EQ.

Let the readers of Bibles be reminded that much of the content in such books is that of authoritative dribble to please the Emperor. Finding any clarity, any information, is likened unto finding a pearl in a pile of manure. And one must always be aware that the meaning is often backwards or upside down. When one understands this, it makes some basic points clear. Heaven is now. Life is real. The ruling class has duped the masses.

Language is a living thing and still very much in its infant state. The books of old have been written by those who knew less than we do. They did not come from a golden age. There was no such age. Unless one means the mad obsession with gold. We need to understand the literature of the pass but not hold onto it for guidance. We need to move beyond the training fields of dualist meaning training for our minds and start to understand.

Meaning has been stagnated by superstitious beliefs such as religion. We need to be creating meaning. Examine or perception. Take an active part in writing the theater we play.
