   "Divinity in Disguise"

"In reality, we are divinity in disguise, and the gods and goddesses in embryo that are contained within us seek to be fully realized. True success is therefore the experience of the miraculous. It is unfolding the divinity within us....
    "We must find out for ourselves that inside us is a god or goddess in embryo that wants to be born so that we can express our divinity." --Deepak Chopra


     "Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul/ I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience." --Deepak Chopra


     "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God....." --(Genesis 3:5...)

"Divinity in Disguise"


In Darwin-Land,
We've joined the band
And march with Deepak Chopra.
The tune we play,
Will save the day!....
Our prophetess is Oprah.

Deep Self has smiled,
While Inner Child
Plays Bible-myth refuting.
Self-Centeredness,
Our Vision Quest....
Our spirits?....Evo-luting.

We're budding gods,
Who beat the odds
By fleeing orthodoxy.
We're smart, we're brash...
Tradition?.... Trashed.
We're deities with moxie.

We rise above,
(In chakra luv)
Contradiction and distraction.
We focus "in"
And sidestep Sin,
To find "Self"-satisfaction.

Guilt's been erased...
"Cheap Grace saves face!"
Is our new battle cry.
With Marx and Freud,
We'll fill the void.
Man's corruption?...We deny.

No shame's our game...
We've come to maim
Destructive thoughts of "guilt".
Please join our play,
Where gurus say
Utopias are built.

New birth, you see,
For you and me,
We know is beneficial.
But "fetal gods"
Must beat the odds,
In clinics sacrificial.

High Priests in white,
Perform "The Rite"
Where "premie" gods are killed.
These gods unborn,
>From wombs are torn.
The blood of lambs is spilled.

Some call it crass...
This "Tissue Mass",
For "gods" unrealized.
But it's "The Rite"
For which we'll fight....
"The Choice" most richly prized.

Our Priests are skilled,
And Moloch's thrilled,....
All thought of Sin's diverted.
Deep Self? Appeased
(And Satan pleased)
Sharp blades in skulls inserted.

     *     *     *     *

"The Lie" is spread.
The babies? ...Dead.
(The Scheme is quite demonic.)
The Temptor's bold....
His Lie's of Old:
"You're gods!"
  ..... (just embryonic)

A conscience seared's
A conscience cleared....
We're bright, we're sage, we're able.
We're "god's disguised"...
Truth's compromised,
In this "new" Tow'r of Babel.

     *     *     *     *

Dear Lord, we pray
To you each day,
For Mercy and your Grace.
We cannot hide
The deadly Pride
We flaunt before your Face.

Your sacrifice
We say was "nice"
But for You there's no fear.
The blood still flows,
Our sin still grows...
Five million lambs each year.

 


    "On the ultrasound screen, I could see the heart beating...The baby's little fingers were clasping and unclasping and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of his head, and the baby's arms jerked out, like a startle reaction, like a flinch, like a baby does when he thinks he's going to fall."
                                                                  -Brenda Pratt Shafer (nurse), 1996
                                                              (Testimony before Senate Committee)

"The Spirit clearly says that in the later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron."
(1Timothy 4:1,2)
