For the Benefit of the Catholic
Church
These three documents (A, B, and C) the Lord
had me write for the benefit of the Catholic Church, but sadly their
leadership is not receptive to our Lord speaking through people other than
themselves.
Introduction A
Sexual perversion in the celibate clergy:
Causes and cure. . .
I am a person who in a sexual sense was similar to many of
the offending catholic priests who have committed homosexual and pedophilia
acts. God has Divinely taught me how to control and then overcome my strong
‘dark-side’. He (God) desires that I share this wisdom with the Catholic
Church. So, please read these three documents!
In the celibate clergy’s case homosexuality and
pedophilia are usually connected. In this document I will show you that this
statement is more than just a theory of mine. . .
In my distant past I did some homosexual acts and in my
more recent past there was a time when I had strong homosexual urges
(originating from evil within). . . I even had pedophilia thoughts; thank
God never any deeds! The Eternal One has enlightened me on both the cause
and the cure of this sin problem in myself, and shortly I will show you how
similar I was to those celibate priests who committed those most horrible
acts.
So, please thoroughly read these documents A, B, and C on
this subject.
I was similar to those offending priests in that I went
for over a ten year stretch without having any sex (other than
masturbation). In my case it was celibacy but not by choice (I didn't have
any willing partners). My big problem is that I was engaged in much
dangerous sexual repression (just stuffing my burning lust), but I’m quite
sure that many celibate religious are doing the same wrong thing that I did
(the spiritual wisdom in one of my documents gives anyone the power
to be celibate, without dangerous sexual repressing!).
>Note: Both repression and indulgence of lust are both
spiritually hazardous "soul-utions" to this problem.
BEGIN:
Since I was a youth I've always had an attraction for
large breasted women. When I was a school-kid, like many my age, we would
look at my friend's playboy magazines and dream of having sex with women
with such large and beautiful breasts. So, seeds of a certain type of carnal
desire in me were both planted and watered at a young age (At that young age
I did not realize how yearning for something of this world makes a
spiritually dangerous "desire plant" grow within our hearts, and
just because later in life we may become spiritual, doesn't mean these
'weeds' that were watered in our unconscious past disappear). Additionally,
as a youth there were times that I watched porno movies.
Much later in life I got married, then divorced, and then
afterwards went for over a ten year period without any sex (other than
masturbation). Strangely after dealing with my lust solely by masturbating
after a couple of years. . .masturbating fails to work (take away this
burning lust).
>Note: A Christian man I met in a similar situation as
myself, had this same personal experience of myself.
Additionally, after a number of years of going without sex
the devil started playing games with my mind. . . women's breasts started
looking especially precious to me. . . as gold bars are to a greedy
man!
>Note: At that time I did not know how to be celibate,
without engaging in dangerous sexual repression.
So, for me this forced celibacy made me a worse
fornicator. Now, I was fornicating not just occasionally, but mentally
throughout the day (And its interesting how this constant lustiness just
sneaks up on one in a gradual way).
>Note: Its like this well-know experiment: When a frog
is placed in very hot water of course it will immediately jump out. But when
this same frog is placed is warm water and then the water is heated-up
gradually, the frog will remain in that water even if it is heated up to the
boiling point! That is often the way that the devil sucks us into sin as
well.
Additionally, as my sin of mental fornication became more
frequent, in addition to having increased heterosexual desires I started
having some homosexual desires as well (bisexuality).
Also, many years ago I was volunteering working with young
children in a housing project and then the worst thoughts occurred. . . i
experienced some shocking pedophilia thoughts towards a certain young boy
(thank the Lord never any deeds!).
After those pedophilia thoughts occurred I was thinking
how I was experiencing the same perversion that some Catholic Priests were
having. I had a strong suspicion that severely repressed lust was the
culprit of these perverse desires in myself as well as the priests. Then,
one day by God's will I saw a huge expose’ in the newspaper concerning the
occurrence of pedophilia in the Hare Krishna movement.
>Note: I know tons about the Hare-Krishnas because
there was a time in my life I almost joined them.
The only two religions that I am aware of who were
experiencing outbreaks of pedophilia are the Catholics (Priests) and the
Hare-Krishnas (monks). Now, when we look closer at what these two spiritual
paths, and what they have in common that the other spiritual paths do not,
its this male celibacy thing.
They both place male celibacy on such high esteem . . .
and actually they are correct. . . celibacy in a male is exalted. . . but if
one is dealing with this wrong, by repressing, it becomes a dangerous thing.
Repression or indulgence both increase carnal desire.
Now, I knew my hunch was correct:
FORCED CELIBACY AGGRAVATES EXISTING SEXUAL PROBLEMS
BECAUSE IF A MALE BURNS TOO MUCH THIS BURNING LEADS TO ONE BECOMING A CHRONIC
FORNICATOR (IT BECOMES MENTAL FIXATION WHICH IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURS IN
DRUG ADDICTION. . .WHICH IS ALSO A FORM OF IDOLATRY).
ADDITIONALLY, FOR SOME REASON THIS FIXATION ULTIMATELY
LEADS TO HOMO AND EVEN PEDOPHILIA (HOW IT SWITCHES TO PEDOPHILIA I KNOW NOT.
. . BUT IT DOES).
{Bible - "For that same exact reason the Apostle Paul
stated, "Its better to marry than to burn."} > I
am enlightening you on the damage that "burning" does to a man.
By the way, sexual indulgence also flairs up desire.
One may ask the reason the celibate clergy did not have
this epidemic perverse sexual behavior at this magnitude in past
generations? God enlightened me on these reasons:
Our present age, I call the age of "vices". In
these modern times, advertisers have negatively used technology in a way to
enrich themselves at the expense of the masses (us).
On one hand we have the media’s flaunting of beautiful
woman’s bodies in order to sell more products. As I previously stated many
of us men in the west were raised from childhood on playboy magazines and
the like (magazines which prides themselves with displaying bodies of the
most beautiful women), as well as porno.
Additionally, much of the food we eat is fried, loaded
with sugar and salt. . . it is designed to be addictive. Food companies have
designed their products to maximize the good taste, so they can assure our
repeat business. So, in addition to sex addicts, modern man has become a
food addict as well. Modern mans increased attraction and mental bonding to
the bodies of beautiful women coupled with our addiction to pleasant tasting
and sweet foods has resulted in the weakening of our flesh. The unholy
result is modern man’s flesh is far weaker than man’s flesh was at the
time the scriptures were written, or at any time in history. If one is weak
with the food, one is weak with the sex as well.
Introduction B
PREVENTION OF HOMOSEXUALITY AND PEDOPHILIA IN THE CELEBATE CLERGY
by Daniel Rosenblit
In this manuscript I am going to show you the reason the
Lord has entrusted me with much of this priceless wisdom. Only after
you thoroughly read this document will I pass on this wisdom to you. So
please be patient. I know this part may be a bit lengthy; but after
thoroughly reading it, it should become obvious to you the reason God has
blessed me with this wisdom.
>Note: Long ago, God has already taught me how to
successfully deal with my strong dark side (in myself its the combined
consequence of unsanctified sexual sin, a tremendous amount of sexual
repression, plus backsliding real, real badly a number of years ago), so
this strong dark side wouldn’t ruin my life.
I feel that its important that I now say this: Some poor
souls have some real, real terrible spiritual problems. They have such a
strong dark side that when the enemy attacks them its as though they
literally get taken over. . . they get overpowered by the evil one! For this
same reason there are people who are in jail for doing horrible things, who
beg not to be let out. Some say something like, "Don’t let me out, I
can’t help myself; I’ll do it again!" These are good people who are
possessed by evil. The reason I call them good people is because they don’t
want to hurt innocent people; whereas evil people don’t care. At one time
I was one of these good people who were possessed by evil.
Program 1 describes the way one can have power over their
dark side. . . even an overpowering one. This is only a way to control the
dark side but not kill it. --- I call this damage control. This is
just part of the God's wisdom which will be revealed in the next manuscript
(C). Additionally, in that manuscript I will fully reveal a divine process
whereby even someone with a strong dark side, as myself, can gradually
disintegrate it.
So, you will receive both the short-term and a long-term
solution.
I call these programs 1& 2.
Some time ago the Lord called me to move to Amsterdam,
Holland. I had a huge amount of burning lust within me for many years; due
to an enormous amount of sexual repression on my part which I engaged in
because I did not yet have the wisdom on how to deal with my lust in a
positive fashion (and I had no mate).
I was a veteran, single Christian street minister who
while trying to be a good Christian had developed worse and
worse lust problems. I always believed that obeying God's laws should make a
man better, but in my case I had gradually gotten worse. I started spending
much time alone with God seeking Divine assistance.
I discovered a God who was different than the God that was
preached about on the pulpit. This God was not beating me over the head for
unholy carnal urges; but was wanting me to get over them by any means
necessary (as long as I was not hurting anyone in the process). I had
enough wisdom to know the holy goal; To attain a state the Buddhists call
the "state of desirelessness" (where one hasn't any earthly
desires anymore; one's sole desire becomes to serve God and do good).
Additionally, the wandering monks in India are called "Sadus",
translated means "All Good". I am convinced that these states are
the identical to the inner state of the Christian "Saints" who
have attained the state of "Praying without ceasing".
God taught me that anything to help me achieve this
exalted inner state was allowed, indeed encouraged; as long as my motive was
to overcome and not indulge.
If I was engaging in sex for the purposes of indulging
this would be a sin; but instead if I was doing it either to help myself
relieve burning or to get over unspiritual carnal desires that had been
spiritually plaguing me for years, God would consider that therapy,
understand?
{That is why the Bible states, "We are under grace
and not under the law" --- following the
letter of the law had been hurting my soul; grace was telling me to take a
different path that appeared sinful on the surface, but was best for my
soul}.
So when I first moved to Amsterdam I knew part of the
reason for the Lord wanting me there was for me to go through lots of sexual
stuff (Amsterdam is the place where the prostitutes are in the windows;
prostitution is legal there). You may laugh, but I prayerfully had sex with
a handful of them. My burning lust became halved, but I still burned all the
time.
Then I said to God in a distraught fashion, "Lord,
I've tried everything as you can see, and I still am not free of this!"
Then the Lord graciously put His hand on my shoulder and
said to me, "Now we begin!"
God had me going up to the windows of the prostitutes,
posing as a customer, but now my motive was to glorify God and touting the
greatness of living a life of service to Him.
I found this was easy to do with the average looking ones,
but I had a difficult time witnessing to the very pretty ones without
lusting them.
>Note: If I lusted I hurt myself spiritually, thus
failed in this spiritual exercise. But, if I could manage to witness for the
Lord without lusting, I would achieve a victory over my flesh and the devil.
. . the greater the temptation I overcame, the greater the victory.
{Where I am weak He is strong, therefore I rejoice in my
weaknesses}
I soon realized that it was essential that I prayed hard
before I attempted this.
>God taught me this one overriding rule before one
enters the presence of great temptation, "Don't go into a battle unless
you know you can win".
With this one ‘spiritual gem’ in mind I was ready to
engage the enemy. So, I witnessed to multitudes of them; afterwards giving
them a copy of a small spiritual book which I had previously authored.
*Note: This ministry was good for the souls of the
prostitutes and especially good for my soul, as it helped me overcome
myself.
>Most spiritual people deal with temptation by fleeing
from it; God taught me that this is spiritually speaking a far better way; a
way to spiritually grow from your weaknesses of the flesh.
First pray hard, filling up with His light, --- then only
when you are sure you can win, begin.
You do this by placing yourself in front of it
(temptation), as a representative of God. Since you represent the best, God,
it pulls the best out of you. If you do this thing right, it is a much, much
better path than fleeing from it. This is a sure way to grow fast
spiritually. This way you use your weakness to your great spiritual
advantage!
{In the Bible St. Paul states, "Where i am weak He is
strong; therefore I rejoice in my weaknesses" --- so overcoming temptation acts as a ladder to heaven; but again if
you can't do this without lusting, do not even attempt it because it becomes
a ladder to hell}.
>Note: I will reveal all of this important
technique of overcoming oneself in the next manuscript, there is alot more
than this. . . so be patient. This technique is but one, but not the only
way, to disintegrate ones dark side relatively quickly.
Anyways, one day while visiting the windows I encountered
an absolutely beautiful prostitute. . . she was the girl of my dreams.
Instantly, I became all carnal flesh readying myself to pull out my wallet
(back then I had money). Instantly by God's will this gorgeous lady
exclaimed, "Hey, aren't you the guy who is giving out those
books". That statement stopped me dead in my tracks. I said to myself;
I can't have sex with her. . . it will ruin this ministry which I have
started!
(Note: This must have been a Divine set-up
as she is the first prostitute who had mentioned my book to me).
That moment for the love-of-God I denied myself and hung
onto the cross and instantaneously God burned, yes completely burned the
lust out of me. . . I could literally feel this. In the twinkling of an eye
I was catapulted into a higher level of consciousness . . . a spiritual
level whereby I was living in a state of relative innocence. I no
longer lusted after women. . . matter of fact I was no longer drawn to
attractive women.
*Note: Here in the twinkling of an eye (instantaneously)
God completely incinerated my desire seeds; occurring in one marvelous
act of His grace.
After a few weeks of living on this 'higher plane of
consciousness' by Divine Providence I met a certain attractive woman.
Initially, I didn't want to be in her company. . . but did so because I
honestly believed that God had a higher purpose in mind. After a certain
period of days being with her I felt an odd, unfamiliar feeling. My thing
(penis) was becoming hard. So, I had lost the precious diamond (the gift of
inner celibacy) that the Lord had blessed me with.
At a later date I complained to God about this saying,
"God you have taken away such a great gift and I was not sinning. At
that time, I had spent time with that lady for the love of You. . . not
because of my own selfish desires. It's not fair that you punish me for
trying to obey you".
God who is Righteous, Fair, & Just responded to my
pleadings by giving me an even greater gift, yes greater!
Its greater because He taught me a step-by-step method
whereby not only I could gradually regain this blessed inner state, but also
any other sincere man who faithfully follows this PROGRAM (Program 2); so I
have the opportunity to bless others with this gift as well!
*Perhaps me losing His gift, and as a recompense being
blessed with the PROGRAM 2, was His plan all along!!
>Note: PROGRAM 2 is like a big puzzle with several
different pieces. Some pieces were taken from both Judaism and Christianity,
and some pieces God personally taught me while I was engaged in creative
ministry in the red-light district of Amsterdam. Other pieces where directly
handed to me by God as an outright gift; then God instructed me to collect
all these separate pieces and create a complete puzzle; PROGRAM 2. Those who
sincerely practice the spiritual disciplines in this puzzle/program will
have great power to both overcome their flesh thereby defeating the devil.
I've called this "PROGRAM 2".---
(which will be described in detail in manuscript - C).
This is a process whereby even the most lustful (sexually
weak) man who so desires can gradually become successful in attaining the
blessed state of inner celibacy/lust-free (sexual strength) without
partaking in any sex, whatsoever (though, if the lustful man has sex in
moderation he can overcome himself faster than going cold turkey). Also,
this program will teach any man how not to repress.
The entire processes are described in detail in the next
section.
THE PROGRAMS!
by Daniel Rosenblit
Blessed Bro. Giles (companion of
St. Francis) when he was asked how we should protect ourselves from vices of
the flesh. He replied, "He who wants to move big rocks and large beams
tries to move them more by skill than by strength. And we must proceed in
the same way in this case". Both of these PROGRAMS are in conformity
with this wisdom.
In order to thoroughly glean the
wisdom from these PROGRAMS you must first read my earlier two manuscripts on
this subject (first A, then B).
*Note: The two programs listed
here:
>Program 1 - The short term
solution (damage control).
>Program 2 – The long term
solution (disintegration of the dark side).
Program 1 is the short term
solution, and is the simplest one to incorporate. It centers around the Holy
Shroud or Shroud of Turin. This world-renown relic is of tremendous value to
those who have the wisdom on how to tap its great spiritual power.
It's was of priceless value to
myself when I had a strong dark side, and I still utilize it often (a
photograph plus information about it is displayed at the website: www.holyface.com).
This world-renown relic is the authentic
image of Christ imprinted during His resurrection!
As I’ve previously discussed
because of the negative use of modern technology modern man's flesh is far
weaker than in the days of our ancestors. Because of this the devil has a
greater hold over many people. God in His wisdom foresaw this problem coming
long, long ago and has provided for us a remedy; The physical Jesus (His
holy face). This is God's greatest mercy of all!
Only through modern technology when
photography was developed has the great spiritual power of this relic become
world renown. When the first photographs of it were taken, the negative
revealed the very clear image that we see here today.
{Bible states, "God's mercy is
greater than our sins"}
-- the image of the Master is His greatest mercy, reserved by Him for this
present sinful age of vices}.
*Note: Before we go any further,
acquire a copy of this image so you will understand what I am talking about.
(I will only speak very briefly
here about it. . . to learn more check the web-site listed above).
As you meditate on the holy face of
Jesus, the compassion radiating from it should become obvious.
* Know that the God power that
permeates this image is far more powerful than the devil who attacks us.
>Note: It is important to become
accustomed to this image, internalizing it, so you don't need the picture
anymore. You need to become intimate with this image, so you can instinctively
mentally recollect/remember it in time of need. . . especially in times of
dire emergency (when you are under heavy satanic attack of unholy desire;
when the devil comes upon you like a flood). For you to profit from it in
these times of emergency it must become as close as a brother. . . in the
same fashion that karate is to a marshal arts expert. If the marshal-arts
expert finds himself in danger, using karate is instinctive. You need to
develop with this sacred image the same intimacy that this man has with
karate, understand? Whoever does this will easily have victory over
the devil when under overwhelming heavy demonic attack. . . when the devil
attacks like a flood. Now I will show you exactly how to benefit from
the great spiritual power in this relic, as it has been taught to me.
When we are under heavy enemy
attack one must place their mind on God to win. At these times its extremely
difficult because satan has his evil claw covering our mind. In a spiritual
emergency its far easier to attach your mind to the visible God (the Holy
face) than His usual invisible form, understand?
*Especially, for one who is
being overwhelmed by the enemy the Holy Face becomes like a life-preserver
is to a drowning man. As long as you can but think of it and then place your
full-faith in it. . . you will win, guaranteed! This is far, far more
powerful than concentrating on holy-aspiration alone . . . no comparison!
* Remember that the God power that
permeates this image is far more powerful than the devil who attacks us.
So, if you are attacked by satan, immediately
on the spot stand behind the holy face of Jesus at attention as a soldier
stands behind a shield; placing full faith in the God-power which
permeates/resides within the picture.
(Indeed, this is a way of putting
on the "full-armor-of-Christ"; know that the enemy is powerless to
penetrate it!).
If you do this you will discover
after a brief time evil will flee you (the presence of Jesus overpowers the
evil one). Next as the image itself depicts, remind yourself that your
desire and duty is to walk in the footsteps of the Master; being a selfless
channel for God's love and compassion (concentrating on holy-aspiration).
Then whenever you are under heavy
attack, make sure you follow this recipe for victory.
I call this ‘damage control’
because it does nothing to eliminate the dark side permanently; but rather
it temporarily gives you power over it. This is the short-term solution.
Now Program 2. . . This is the
long-term solution.
(Note: Much of the wisdom that is
going to be discussed here was learned while I applied Franciscan-Christian
principals while engaging in a creative form of street ministry in
Amsterdam, Holland).
>Note: Your success in this
program relies on two factors. First, the more diligent you are in sincerely
practicing the disciplines outlined in this program. The second factor is
how deeply sex vice has a hold over you. This is determined by both older
unresolved sexual sin and how deeply certain carnal desire patterns are
imprinted on your consciousness (how deep the groove of desire is imprinted
in the record of your mind). . . determined by how long and deeply you have
burned with lust. Also, engaging in sexual repression feeds this
dark-side.
*I am going to give you a
tremendous amount of information here. Since I’m not a skilled writer I
hope you understand all I am trying to convey. . . if you are in doubt about
anything discussed, send me an e-mail and ask for further clarification.
>Note: It took me about one full
month to write these 3 manuscripts.
First, I am going to say that the
traditional Catholic church teachings on mortification, penance, and
confession are the key.
Though, the single most important
step of this program is the immediate cessation of all sexual repression.
This platform can be achieved by sincerely incorporating another discipline
which I will soon discuss. Of course, for a man to attain the blessed state
of inner celibacy/lust-free, it takes that. . . plus much more!
Becoming knowledgeable about the
disciplines that I am going to outline in this program will be a Godsend to
all Spiritual celibate men who struggle with lust.
This program takes much mental
discipline. It involves the breaking of old negative, sinful patterns of
thinking which began and have persisted in most of us since our unconscious
days of puberty; then the subsequent positive, spiritual retraining of the
mind.
So, in the beginning while this
program is being internalized, one must live a simple (uncluttered),
peaceful, and stress-free life; as much as possible.
The reason being is when we are
under much stress this stress robs our joy of the Lord. Stress/ "cares
of the world" eats up our inner light.
The mind is always seeking pleasure
and when it can't find it with the Lord it instinctively gravitates towards
our seeking this joy through partaking in our vices, so our vices become
worse; understand? For most men pretty women are a vice.
A goal of this program is for the
celibate man to gradually attain a consistent level of joy or greatfulness
with your service to God so that it will be on a par with being with
attractive women. When we attain that state, our mind no longer hankers much
after pretty women nor deviates from our selfless service to the Lord. . .
then holiness comes knocking at our door.
*God, Himself, once gave unto me
these exact words:
"Eyes enamored in the
fullness of love of God do not easily stray."
Again, when we are under stress we
are inordinately drawn to our vices (our earthly pleasures). For most men
this involves food and pretty women. They are the false gods of this world
(legal drugs). In this same fashion, when someone struggling with drug or
alcohol addiction is under stress, that person is more drawn to using their
alcohol or drugs.
Thus, its much easier to work on
being solely "God-minded" and to overcome your vices if you are
not under stress . . . or as the Bible states, "The cares of the
world", understand? --- For the benefit of the Catholic Church
only- Placing financial stresses on Priests makes them less spiritual as
well. Isn't the personal holiness the rationale behind the celibacy rule in
the first place?
Repression of sexual desire is
extremely harmful. It causes unholy desire not to weaken, but grow stronger.
Repression is not done in this program.
The first most important step is
this (a portion of this first step is taken from Chasidic Judaism):
From now on every time you notice a woman who attracts you, you never-ever
allow you eyes to feast on her.
{In the Bible Job states, "I
will not allow my eyes to feast on a young maiden}
Allowing ones eyes to feast on
attractive women and/or their body parts is the lustful man's main problem.
These are sin patterns which many of us men have been using since our
unconsciously youth, and we now follow as an unconscious, bad habit.
This negative, unconscious
bad habit must be broken and replaced with a positive, conscious good
habit -- (I will show you
exactly how).
So from this moment on, when you
notice an attractive woman never, never, never allow your eyes
feast on her. Instead, on the spot, allow her beauty to attest to an even
more attractive God . . . but in our 'fallen state' we can't see Him (Though
sincerely practicing the disciplines in this program is going to help you
climb out of your 'fallen state').
*Note: For you to be successful in
this program its imperative to be thoroughly convinced of this fact:
The Creator (God) is far more attractive than anything He has
created; even the most beautiful woman with their beautiful breasts, legs,
etc.
So every time you are attracted by
a female's beauty, its spiritual warfare time!
1) Do not allow your eyes to feast
on her.
2) Instead, immediately on the
spot, let the beauty in the seen (her) attest to an unseen God who is even
more attractive than her (but is invisible to us as long as we are in our
sinful state). Next, at the moment of temptation, taking a brief time-out to
contemplate how attractive this invisible God must be!
This way instead of her beauty
drawing us away from God, instead it propels us to Him/ helps us get closer
to Him by helping make us increasingly become aware of His unsurpassed
attractiveness. . . something most are not presently in touch with (that is
one of the big reasons we are so drawn to the pretty women).
>Note: Remember, at each time of
temptation take a moment to contemplate His greater attractiveness than
these female beauties.
*For this same purpose the celibate
(wasn’t having any sex) Mahatma Gandhi slept with young beautiful women,
understand?
The more attractive the devil makes
her look all the more attractive God must be, understand? (So, now how can
the enemy defeat us?)
Next, believe the fact that for
those who for God’s sake overcome their flesh attain an eternal
constant state of joy worth far more than the temporal greatest carnal
pleasures ~ now tell me, how can the enemy defeat us now???
*Note: By diligently employing this
mental exercise and disciplines it will keep you from dangerous repression
of desire.
3) Also, I can not over-state the
significance of verbal confessions. . . best in the presence of another
person (unless if its immediate confession, then it doesn't matter quite so
much. . . but it’s a must to spit it out) >>>St. Francis
practiced immediate, on the spot, confessions
A very large portion of this
manuscript in reserved for confessions. . . because it is extremely
important.
{Bible states, "Confess one to
another"}
Catholics believe you must use a
Priest; but since I'm not Catholic myself I've only used a Priest but once.
I have received an enormous amount of spiritual benefit from confessing my
sins to all types of people.
>God gave me (which I am now
giving to you) a very great gift. It is the power to confess the most
embarrassing thoughts and deeds. He (God) told me this, "Dan, It
doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you, all that mattered is what I think
of you".
>Note: Almost all of my
confessing I’ve done in the crowded streets of Amsterdam (but it would be
far, far easier to perform these embarrassing confessions, revealing the
ugly/ embarrassing side of yourself, in a spiritual retreat environment).
I must digress here for a short
while: A number of years ago I met a world renown herbalist in Los Angeles
named Dr Richard Schultz. In his seminar he made us aware of the fact that
modern man's bodies are more polluted than at any other time in history. For
this reason many of the standard herbal formulas that successfully helped
people 100 years ago, aren't effective today. Therefore, he created
tinctures that have much heavier concentration of herbs . . . so they will
have most powerful cleansing effects. These formulas are far more effective
for the more toxic, modern man. He calls his preparations
'industrial-strength' formulas.
For that exact same purpose, in the
process of working out my own salvation (while acting in the capacity of a
creative street minister in Amsterdam's red-light district), God has taught
me what I call 'Industrial Strength' Spirituality ("ISS").
And this is some of the wisdom that He (God) desires I pass on to the church
in these last days.
>Note: All of the creative and
wild things I am going to discuss in this manuscript, I’ve applied myself
(By the way, the Lord just loves this type of spirituality!) I've obtained
most of this wisdom through walking by faith and obedience; also following
in the footsteps of the early Franciscan-Christian Saints. . . they were the
holiest group of men who ever lived! A wonderful introductory book about
them is, "The Little Flowers of St. Francis" by Raphael Brown. As
I obeyed God, He both cleansed me and blessed me with Divine Wisdom.
I'm going to talk about some things
which appear difficult to do. . . I will teach you the same 'keys' to
lighten your cross as God has given unto me to lighten mine. So please read
this manuscript, thoroughly!
When you perform the penances (that
is what I call them) which I speak of, you will disintegrate the dark-side
faster than you can ever believe.
Some of these things are "fool
for Christ" tools, which if utilized facilitate rapid spiritual growth.
>Note: There is not much material written about this form of spirituality
>Note: St. Francis was called
'God's-fool'. Many of the early Franciscans were 'Fools-for-Christ' as well.
For that reason they became the spiritual giants that they were.
My advice here is listen to what I
have to say and then do what you feel the Lord wants you to do. . . but
first read the St Francis book that I suggested. . . that is the gateway
book. Without first reading this book I never could have understood and
appreciated the great spiritual value of these things.
Again, I've only confessed my sins
to a Priest but once, so I can't speak of it. However, I have done a
tremendous amount of 'creative public confessions' so I have a tremendous
amount of first-hand wisdom on this subject.
God has taught me that it is extra
mercy to confess sins to police (God honors it more because they
represent Him (the Law). . . its probably somewhat similar to Priests). Also
its extra powerful ("ISS") to confess to people who will judge you
harshly. . . the greater the embarrassment/ humiliation the deeper and the
cleaner it burns the evil within (which lives, grows and thrives in secret;
ie. . . deep dark secrets). Its also very good to confess to those who are
close to you; namely family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers . . . this
shines more light on the evil within (which thrives in secret and
darkness).
Additionally, all evil like its
father the devil, is proud. When through confession it is
embarrassed/humiliated it disintegrates it. Humiliation is the antidote of
all darkness within.
Humiliation is the mortal enemy of
evil. Whether you find someone to judge you either harshly or someone who is
merciful. . . confess it to someone! That is the minimum requirement.
>Note: Humiliation ("ISS")
is lower than humility and is the devil's mortal enemy.
(The early Franciscan saints were humiliation experts; also being exposed to
humiliations on a daily continual basis was instrumental in making young
Francis into St. Francis.)
Enduring much and constant
humiliations have the power to make the soul pure again {Though your sins
be as red as scarlet I will make them white as snow}
What needs to be said here is that
if you have a devil in you, it's a most terrible thing that robs your life.
God taught me that there is one very positive thing about this situation.
Since the devil and you inhabit the same temple, if you humiliate yourself,
you automatically humiliate 'the thing' within, understand? (By the way, I
call the devil 'the thing' because this takes away its title. This is a way
of diminishing its power even further).
The Lord considers it especially
amusing when you humiliate it.
Since there are no devils in
heaven, only us mortals on earth have the opportunity to do this,
understand?
But remember, if you have a devil
within you have to pay a price to humiliate the enemy. . . you have to
humiliate yourself!
The more you mortify yourself and
humiliate yourself/it, the further you dissolve its stronghold in your
temple.
After you perform what I call a
penance (public humiliation), you can mock yourself/it together and laugh with
God about it.
>Note: It's important to always
laugh with God with these things. . . that is the way God
likes these things done. God has got a real great sense of humor and really
enjoys this stuff. . . but will only join in if He is formally invited.
In a chuckling (mocking) fashion
use the humiliation to mock the devil. First, its imperative that you invite
God in on the joke (laugh with God at yourself/it). . . as all
this wild fool-for-God wisdom is coming from Above in the first place..
Humiliation purifies darkness out of our temple (satan's home in our
temple). The devil hates humility. . . we all know that. But humiliation is
his mortal enemy. . . it will kill him! Understand?
Please, hear me now.
>Note: This mocking of the devil
with the Lord is a key to destroying the kingdom of darkness
within our temple.
This way, you are obtaining the
maximum spiritual benefit from your penance.
Frankly, you can relish one decent
penance within your mind for hours on end if you so desire (its like
crushing satan's head with it over and over again!). That is the lazy man's
way of doing it. Though, what is always the best is to do more fresh
penances (fresh meat is always the best. . . because it takes a greater love
).
Keep reading -- I will soon teach
you how to obtain fresh meat (more humiliations)!
Many of our most embarrassing
secrets from our past are sexual deeds and thoughts/desires. Know for sure
that the devil lives and thrives in the secret corners of our mind.
Sometimes the enemy places embarrassing thoughts in our minds because by us
not confessing them, it gives the vile one space to occupy in our temples,
understand?
Be aware, evil lives and thrives in
darkness.
For some reason when at least one
other person knows about these embarrassing secrets, light enters this
darkness, effectively coming against these strongholds of the enemy who
resides within us (as a spiritual disease). In front of another confess all
past sinful deeds and thoughts/desires, as embarrassing as they may be. Its
best to give all of the embarrassing details (better yet, stage a
visual rehearsal by re-enacting the crime) --- "ISS". By doing
this, light will enter every hidden nook and cranny, effectively dissolving
this seat of darkness.
>Note: The longer you have gone
without confessing a sin, often due to embarrassment, that sin grows roots
within you thereby the enemy gains a 'beach-head' in our temple. In order to
become pure of this heavier contamination due to this particular
longstanding sin, it may have to be confessed multitudes of times. That is
my personal experience.
Another effective way to deal with
sins which have grown roots is 'public confessions'. --- "ISS".
I've done them numerous times on
trains, trams, and in on crowded streets. Generally, whatever is more
humiliating is more cleansing here (I'm making this stuff sound easy. . .
but its not).
If done on a tram or bus make sure
you relish the scorn you receive from your neighbor (ie. . . rejoice in the
scorn as brother Juniper; St. Francis's companion did); as this scorn is a
jewel for your soul. . . effectively disintegrating the Kingdom of darkness
within. After completing the penance you can write down your experience (the
mocking expressions on their faces, etc.), so you will always remember it.
This becomes your personal station of the cross. Every time you both
remember and offer it, it acts as powerful solvent for dissolving imbedded
sin. . . especially the specific sin that you have targeted.
Now, I will now teach you one
God-given way to get the nerve to do some of these creative things. God had
me walking around on a daily basis for weeks in the streets of Amsterdam
with underwear on my head, yes underwear! --
I’ll call it "underwearing".
The purpose being, for the love of God, to humiliate myself, and after a
period of time it starts dissolving your ego which is a big plus (as the ego
and the sin-nature are indelibly connected). As the ego starts dissolving,
making embarrassing public confessions come far easier.
After a few weeks performing
continuous hours of "underwearing" on a daily basis (continually
humiliating myself), this exercise started bearing great fruit. The sins of
my past started surfacing. . . its like I saw them with my own eyes! Then I
thought of what St. Francis did, and I'd be beating my breast, then weeping
and confessing the sins of my past in the crowded sidewalk of Amsterdam.
Also out of compassion for my neighbors, because some around me would listen
and think of their own similar sins. This is what I call public penance
---"ISS". By engaging in this exercise, God would purify me faster
because. . .
{Bible states, "Blessed are
the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy}
Additionally, I would literally
feel God sanctifying me. . . then I would be laughing and praising God. So,
this powerful exercise would involve both weeping and laughing; pain and
joy.
>Note: Another way is to do it
is while slightly drunk. As long as you get the nerve to do these things;
that is the most important thing.
Another exercise the Lord had me do
was to was to go to the park on crowded summer days "underwearing"
and with a whistle in my mouth. I would blow the whistle in front of groups
of people and confess my embarrassing sins -- "ISS" (just watch
out for the young children).
Next, receive the full impact of
the scorn. To receive the maximum benefit here its important to gladly soak
up and relish their scorn as a sunbather soaks up sun at the beach.
{The early Franciscans would call
this ‘Rejoicing in their scorn’}
Additionally, in the camera of your
mind visually remind yourself of those scorned looks that you saw on their
faces. . .or even if they just ignored you. Though know, the harsher the
reaction you receive here, the better for your soul.
Additionally, a great place I find
to publicly confess humiliating things and receive most of that blessed
scorn is while riding in a train, tram, or bus. Normally, disgusted people
would quickly leave your presence but if you do it in these enclosed places,
they can't. Thus, they will turn away from, reject, or scorn you (I'm not
saying these are easy for me to do, they are not).
After the penance is entirely ended
its best to write down notes for yourself so you can always easily remember
these "high points (others’ scorn)" of your spiritual life.
These images become as pearls for your soul (it would make the holy bro
Juniper happy when he saw someone mocking him --- see St. Francis book. . .
The Little Flowers of St. Francis by Raphael Brown). You can offer up to God
these penances endlessly, and every time you do it purifies you even more!!
(Its almost like they are stations of your personal cross).
This scorn acts as a type of holy
fire (a bit of what the Apostles experienced on Pentecost). This acts has a
very deep cleansing effect on our souls.
Next step (optional): You can
preach to your audience by glorifying God about the good things He (God) has
done in your life since you had totally committed your life to Him and to
living a life of humble righteousness.
Example: God taught me its easiest
to succeed here by starting off by thinking of yourself as the town idiot.
He taught me this by placing the example of Forest Gump (from the movie of
that title) in my mind. Then, I kept finding cans of Dr Pepper (his favorite
drink)!
While walking down the street blow
the whistle and then say something like, " I used to be a homosexual. I
would do anything, just anything. . . I was just like some disgusting
dog" (After you soak-up the scorn you can tell them you don't do such
disgusting things anymore as you have given your life to God and now walk
the righteous road. . . and by walking this righteous road God has
transformed my life for the better. . . and if God is using and blessing
someone who was as sleazy as I used to be, imagine what God would do through
someone such as yourself if you humbled yourself and walked the right
road!". . . or you can just keep humiliating yourself!! THE LORD
JUST LOVES THIS TYPE OF COMICAL SPIRITUALITY!
>>> (when the scorn comes
its important to feel full impact)<<<<
Next, you can say something such
as, "But God changed my life!!! When I committed my life to Him and
started obeying the laws of Jesus, God transformed me into a righteous man
who has become greatly inwardly blessed."
Now you have this opportunity to
tell them how far God has taken you. . . and it is totally honest!
Next, you can close your
testimonial with something like this : "If God did such wonderful
things in the life of someone who used to be as sleazy as myself, just think
of the even more wonderful things He will do in lives such as your own if
you start walking the right road!!
(By the way, God thinks this is so,
so amusing! We can actually make Him laugh!! Note: When doing this it
imperative to laugh with Him [God]; never separately. You want to offer
these up to God).
Another nugget of truth I must
share here. For those of you who have many unwanted embarrassing
desires/thoughts, God wants me to add something extremely important for
your soul. Here it is:
Refrain from hating or even getting
angry at them. Anger feeds
the evil ones' power. The proper attitude is to imbibe that of St. Francis
who is said to have had compassion on even the devil, because the devil is
condemned forever.
>Note: The enemy can feed off
anger, but it can not feed off compassion.
Now, this penance does many
wonderful things (proof its from God), which I will list herein:
1) The great spiritual purifying
power of humiliation & scorn.
2) It brings out a greater love of
God in yourself as you remind yourself how far God has brought you on the
path.
3) As you start off humiliating
yourself, you will discover that then you are able to exalt God higher.
4) When you suffer to save souls
its a much holier act then merely speaking the gospels to them (remember,
the Master suffered to save souls). Though, speaking the gospels to someone
is wonderful. . . this is just more wonderful!
5) Laughing at yourself later after
you have completed the penance is excellent medicine for your soul. . .
laughing at oneself helps break the hardness in our hearts and helps you
become inwardly free.
6) An even better way is to use the
embarrassing comment and/or expression of the person you confessed to, and with
God mock the devil. This technique kills the enemies’ stronghold
within. . . and maximizes the sanctification power of your penance
(humiliation).
7) It thoroughly amuses God, and
its an extremely holy act for a mere mortal to amuse the Creator!!
I will gladly personally
demonstrate these procedures, but only for people who are ready to totally
commit themselves to making this spiritual project a reality.
Note: When engaging in public
confessions you don't always have to take this exact same route as I have
described. For instance, at times after I confessed on a tram (only after
soaking up the scorn) I then preach about the glories of humiliations,
understand? Though, I do believe the formula listed above is usually the
best one.
*As you can see, God has taught me
ways to make doing penance amusing, which makes it easier; this is only part
of what He (God) wants me to pass on to the Church.
This creative spirituality is very
powerful and God just loves it! This is a fact!!
Blessed St. Francis of Assisi
practiced immediate confessions. . . confessing his sinful
thoughts/desires with a minimum of hesitation. . . the sooner the better.
What this means in practice is as soon as you have a sinful thought/desires
verbally spit them out on the spot. . . even in the presence of company.
>> Note: I don't always do
this myself.
If in the presence of company (no
young children of course present), so you don't traumatize anyone, it best
to start off with the phrase, "What a sick thought!"~ then
confess. *Admittedly, its much easier to go away from the crowd; into an
empty bathroom or into the hallway, then spit it out. Best to spit if out as
soon as possible.
>Note: St. Francis's companion
was also his confessor; brother Leo. Francis, the most Christ-like mortal
who ever lived, had a confessor with him most of the time. . . that is how
important confessions are!
*If you immediately verbally spit
out a sinful thought/desire its contamination to your soul is minimized. The
longer you wait, it pollutes your temple.
Example: I may blurt out something
like, "Oh, i just lusted . . .it's sick, its sick (while feeling
remorse within)".
Additionally, one can even confess
temptations. All temptations are the enemy pulling on us. Every time you
shine the light (ie. . . verbal confessions) on his evil activities, it
dissolves his power over your life.
Weakness for food and sex are
related. From this moment on get strict with your diet. Mortification of the
flesh is very important. Control the times and the quantity of food you
consume; periodic fasting is also very helpful. Your new diet must consist
of foods which are bland and tasteless; or boring foods. Abstain from foods
which you enjoy.
Stop trying to obtain pleasure from
eating. Additionally, try to eat your food "As unto God". Its best
to eat your meals in silence.
The goal here is, as much as
possible, is to kill your flesh or putting your senses to sleep. . .
forever! This is part of dying-to-self.
Also, along with mortification in
your diet, from now on try to think of yourself as a corpse (dead man).
From now on you are dead to getting
anything from this world for yourself (for that same reason the Sadus in
India shave their head and dress in orange; the color of renunciation. . .
the title Sadu means "All Good").
Your sacred duty from now on is to
make every act, a selfless act of selfless-giving. . . especially when
you are in the presence of those you desire. . . such as pretty ladies.
Now God will use me to show you how
to use this carnal weaknesses of ours for your very great spiritual
advantage here:
Pray first! Then, only when
you feel you are ready (Re: document --B; "only go into a battle that
you know you can win"). Purposely place yourself especially in these
situations where you previously lusted/sinned (ie. . . in front of
temptation).
Now I am going to give you a brief
lesson on spiritual mathematics. Know, that every act of carnal desire
(lust) is a "selfish act (act-of-getting (-))". Every time
you lust it increases the negative bonding power of that vice within
yourself, bringing you one step deeper in darkness.
On the other side of the equation,
every time you are tempted, and for the love of God, if you rise above it,
you take one step closer to God (heaven). Performing selfless acts of
giving (+) either ‘tangible or intangible love’ (defined in the next
paragraph) in the face of temptation are great ways to overcome (win) here.
Make sure you stop creating any (-) acts and start creating tons of (+)
acts, understand? Do you now understand spiritual mathematics?
Change your sin pattern by focusing
on selflessly giving (+) to pretty ladies or glorifying God in their
presence. Practical ways you can do this is the following:
Telling them to their face that
they are attractive but God, the one who made them, is even more attractive.
. . but we can't see Him (while placing your attention on the Lord's greater
beauty). Exhorting the glories of God is an example of intangible love.
Another example: I would praise God around the windows in Amsterdam. . .
another way to overcome my lust. Or you can give them tangible love (a
small gift: an apple, orange, or even a mint). . . or if you do have sex
deny you own pleasure for their sake. Every selfless act of love or giving
(tangible or intangible) to the object of our temptation acts as a way of
breaking the unholy carnal bonds we have created within ourselves from
unholy- carnal desires in our past. This acts as a way of killing the carnal
self and of overcoming ourselves. . . thus becomes as a "ladder to
heaven". Indeed, every battle you win where you had previously lost is
a sweet victory. . . it is a plus; bringing you step-by-step to the feet of
the Lord.
Additionally, if you are
continually successfully doing this exercise in the presence of temptation,
without watering / feeding your desire-seeds (lusting), you gradually
bit-by-bit burn-out these desire seeds until they are completely destroyed.
*Note: As long as you continue
selflessly giving (+) you are moving towards God (heaven); step-by-step.
Especially if you are able to do this in the face of temptation; the greater
the temptation the greater the victory if you win.
* In Amsterdam I would witness to a
few prostitutes and then go away for several minutes and praise God and fill
up will light again, before returning to witness to more of them.
>Note: As soon as you have
completed performing your act of giving, its best to continue inwardly
praising God or leave the premises at once (Especially do not engage in any
idle chat).
Because, if you give the mind any
unoccupied space it gives space for unholy desire to creep in. That being
the case you will lose more than you have to gain. If lust happens to creep
in, verbally confess it on the spot. So, be wise and make sure you win here!
Additionally, if you ever happen to
fall in love with someone learn to "love them in Christ". That way
uncontrollably, instinctively thinking of them will not draw you far from
the Lord; which severely hinders your spiritual life. It minimizes the
spiritual damage until you can deal with this unhealthy attachment.
** Additionally, you can have lots
of fun with this program.
Laughing is required.
***Now, to tie this all up we have
the following disciplines in the program 2:
1) Mandatory!: Being
convinced of the fact that the Creator is more attractive than anything
that He has created. Then, applying this discipline that God is more
attractive than even the most beautiful of women (or their body parts).
Additionally, believing the fact that eternal continuous spiritual
joy is far more valuable than the greatest of carnal pleasures. These
spiritual joys are available to all those who for God's sake overcome their
flesh.--- utilizing these disciplines keeps one from engaging in dangerous
repression.
2) verbal confessions; all types
--immediate, public, mocking devil, etc.
3) Industrial-grade spirituality
--- "ISS"
4) Mortification of flesh through
diet control.
5) You are as a corpse from now on
where every act becomes as act of giving (+); overcoming temptation to
its face by making every act an act of giving (no acts of getting
allowed); tangible and intangible love; if a selfish "act of getting
(-)" creeps in confess it on the spot. . . just spit it
out.
*Note: Additional priceless
wisdom:
Brother Juniper one of the holiest
companions of St. Francis said,
"Oh my brothers, who in this
life is so noble that he would not willingly carry a basket full of manure
from St. Mary's all through town, if he were not given a house full of gold?
Ah, why do we not want to endure a little 'shame' in
order to gain eternal life, which is better and more lasting than gold and a
thousands worlds that soon vanish?"
Here, we are going to use the power
of 'SHAME' in another way. . . by the way shame is another one of the
devil's mortal enemies.
Here is the plan: Create an 'embarrassment/humiliation
letter':
In this letter describe to the most
minuet detail all the most embarrassing thoughts or deeds you've done in
your entire life.
(Start with your earliest childhood
memories)
You will find that most of these
embarrassments are sexual. For me its homosexual (I had some experiences in
my past) and racist (when I was young I was a racist). Even though I have
confessed these before, sadly I only confessed many years after the
occurrences. For that reason, these places (homosexual and racist) are
strongholds of the enemy in my temple.
>Note: The enemy chooses to hide
his power in the embarrassing parts of our life.
When, you expose to other people to
the minuet detail every aspect (try not to hold back) of these seats of
darkness within, light streams into these dark corners and effectively burns
out the evil there (evil thrives in darkness).
Additionally,
after confessing a certain sin you have committed (for instance a homosexual
sin), write about yourself saying something like the following, " When
I did that homosexual act I was doing the bidding of the devil. . . because
the devil is a homosexual!
In other words, once you humiliate
yourself then you humiliate the devil within. Then its your chance to expose
the seamier side of the devil. Since the enemy is very proud it can' t stand
to be humiliated by a mere mortal. When you do it this fashion, it burns
more of the evil 'rot' that resides within our temple. When you laugh at the
devil within, make sure you laugh with God (not separate from Him). When you
mock the devil with the Lord it becomes a holy enterprise!
After you have completed writing
this humiliation letter share it with anyone. . . especially powerful
is share it with those who are close to you. . . family, friends,
co-workers, and people you see everyday (though exposing it to a total
stranger is far better than not exposing it to anyone!)
Those who are close to you are the
most powerful to share this letter with. Additionally, if you have someone
who is both close to you and who will judge you harshly for your sins. . .
it is especially important to get them to read your
'embarrassment/humiliation letter' .
In a way this is the lazy man's way
to purify oneself because each time you summon-up enough strength/courage to
give the letter to someone to read, it will have an extremely powerful,
positive effect for the forces of light and a devastating effect for the
force of darkness within.
Once the letter is exposed to
another, give them a copy and use 'any means necessary' to get them to
thoroughly study it. Pray to God for guidance on how to get them to
cooperate with you. He (God) will show you your way. Then, through the mere
thought that that person will know about and be studying the minuet details
of your most embarrassing moments, this shame will effectively pierce every
dark place of the enemy 's stronghold within your temple and effectively
weaken and dissolve its strongholds within you, get it??
**THOROUGH HUMILIATIONS. . .
Its importance:
(St.
Francis’s companion, Brother Juniper introduced me to these – Read from
book entitled, "The Little Flowers of St. Francis by Brown {especially
read chapter on Brother juniper})
The spiritual potency of these is a
mystery of God. These are extremely, extremely, holy for the sinful soul (I
need to do many more of them).
I was just reading in the St.
Francis book about how the holy Brother Juniper walked through entire towns
naked with His breeches tied on top of his head like a bundle in order to
'thoroughly humiliate' himself.
>Note: And He is a man who
became so humble, pure, and innocent that demonically possessed persons
could not stand his very presence!
As I was contemplating about the
negative effects this traumatizing effect (walking through towns naked)
could have on a young child, God spoke to me about this subject. He allowed
me that realize that 'thorough humiliations' are soo holy for the soul that
He (God) wants we do them in spite of the these negative repercussions,
understand?
Thorough
humiliations are one of the fastest way to make the soul pure again.
{Though your sins be as red as
scarlet, I will make them white as snow}. . . very few people have this
experience
Additionally, God taught me other
ways to experience 'thorough humiliations' without the very illegal 100%
naked strip down (like the good brother did). Want to learn these additional
secrets to bless the soul of the bold-acting person? I will discuss the
matter further with all those who are part of this spiritual project. . .
plus there are other mysteries I have keep secret and will only divulge to
those who are on the team, get it?
*I hope you see the prophet (get the pun?) in these programs.
