On the Unmasking of Demons: Yes We Must

Dr. Bee Z. Bywydd

“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”
– Carl Sagan

We are a species of superstitious monkeys, in insectoid mutational phase, armed with mass-incineration weaponry, at the edge of a teeming galaxy. All of us are possessed by demons, a lying Legion of deceptions and delusions. Our Earth has maxxed-out on demonic monkeys and now She’s coughing out storms to flush our fires away.

So we’re all in a Panic. Or running for our lives, shivvering in the deep freeze, slogging through toxic flood waters. Deep in the Voodoo, shite out of luck, over the falls in a Titanic barrel of insane monkeys. Because our society is an onion of lies within lies, all ruled over by ominous wargods and mass-incineration weapons. We chatter on about superstitions and pseudo-news, nearly cut off from any natural identity. Our instincts have been hijacked and most of us are living like serfs in Roman-occupied city-ghettos. Being entrained to think we must kill to get our way. This is “God’s will”?

“There are years when nothing happens and years in which centuries happen.”
– Carlos Fuentes

Americans of certain dying generations will yet argue the righteousness of the mass-incineration of two cities full of innocent humans as “for the good of the nation,” every Hiroshima Day for half a century. Here we can grab the most dangerous demon by the horns. War has warped us all to the core (Corps), now bred for murder on massive scales.

Or shall we insist on another round of robust patriotic chanting, another atomic bomb test, or let’s see what the Bush family has brought us today? Hooray, a brand new AIRCRAFT CARRIER!; bigger than many American communities, named for the “Man who has everything” (according to W, as he commissioned it)- CIA President 41, from his son, CIA President 43. How mind-bendingly metaphoric. Cost more than your children’s education (or imprisonment), but our demons are very happy! More mass-incineration ahead!

Most of our influential demons are very old- older than our generational history. As our “authorized history” comprises war after war, the demon hordes (Legion) have infested and harvested our daily toils. One need only examine the many convolutions of Roman coinage in every country of the world to glimpse the glint of Mammon. We are taught that demons are our heritage– that to fear, hate and kill other certain people, or entire groups of humans, is our “duty” or somesuch other conditioning, arming ourselves against the “other.” On death, finding out it was all a ghoulish game of smoke and mirrors (smog & spiegel).

“If we are not in a good relationship with the environment, the environment will be destroyed, and we will lose our ground. But if you halt the erosion of humankind, humankind will halt the erosion of the soil.”
– Mahatma Ghandi

While Americans may feel congratulatory over President Obama’s ascension and symbolically breaking the chains of slavery, we should also pause to regard Dr. King’s legacy of dreaming an end to war. He, Jesus and Abraham are all HORRIFIED, mourning the loss of humanity and allowance of industrial warfare in the recent months. Nations who “rule” the industrialized planet have been deploying mass-incineration and toxic weapons to the farthest corners, killing thousands upon thousands as if exterminating animals in a global killing factory. Like they still slaughter wolves in Alaska from helicopters. Only now we’re killing humans with roving robot killer drones bearing building-incinerating bombs. Whole villages explode like popcorn, on our satellite screens.

Now Israel’s far-right regime is incinerating UN schools, claiming “self-defense,” using phosphorus to melt houses filled with defenseless women and children, refugees huddling in the Gaza ghettos. What happened to “Never Forget?” The shame, the horror is beyond words. And Hamas thugs hand out Euros while launching rockets indiscriminately, grinning that old demon excitement of vengeance, brutally beating anyone who disagrees with their terror campaigns. Whose wargod does this serve? The Devil just chuckles at the stage the Bushes have set for “Armaggedon,” on behalf of their fascist forefathers. Oh, the Spectacle.

“Why is it that in America the sale of firecrackers is banned, but guns are sold everywhere?”
– Bette Bao Lord, “Legacies, A Chinese Mosaic”

In Tibet, the Chinese “Red Army” occupation continues its demonically brutal campaign of beating, torturing and killing monks and nuns, after having burned most of that ancient kingdom’s temples and driving the Dalai Lama into exile. What would the West do if Russia invaded Rome, bulldozed the Vatican and forced the Pope to flee for his life to Ireland? Anyone remaining will be thrown into prison simply for having a picture of the Pope?

Meanwhile, the majority of Americans celebrate President Obama’s “hapa” upbringing in Hawai’i, almost completely oblivious to the fact that the Hawaiian archipelago is a brutally repressed kingdom as well, with the indigenous culture and government having been outlawed, the last Queen imprisoned, and the commonwealth land seized. Over the past century it has been used as a Pacific military “stomping ground,” with many sacred areas like Mauna Kea still being regularly bombed, bulldozed and burned, littered with toxic “testing.” The US Navy insists on blasting high-powered electromagnetic beams across the ocean, for some nefarious war against King Neptune no doubt, knowing they will be injuring the cetacean nations, innocent sentient creatures more ancient and intelligent than we can imagine. Now at what point did “God bless” this mess, America?

We Must Now End War, or War Will End Us All

The smell of napalm, the busy hum of Power making us “safe,” the pulse of paranoia and pride… it’s a demonic smorgasbord. Wherever women are beaten down and treated like animals, where boys are forced to slaughter other humans for a cause, where criminal profiteers build and sell more efficient killing devices– there the demons are dancing. When the hater spits out at their subject, they soil their own soul, often ending as suicidal, obsessive psychopaths. Yet many of our countries are being ruled by these militarized, demonically-powered madmen.

We must share the simple solutions, oh woeful monkeyshiners, “mankind” of the Holy Bomb. How one gets rid of demons? Look at them as they TRULY are! Once you SEE through their multiple layers of lies and illusion, deception, delusion, the ugly old beasties run away– Or kill you, as they have caused millions upon millions of murders. Once you do survive the “exorcism” purge, escape possession and subservience, then you can reclaim your TRUE nature. You will now see the beauty of the world that was obscured. Love. Hope. Magic. LIFE.

We’ve all been suffering the swarms of demons of industrialized War for a century now, embroiled and indebted to mechanical killing on a grand scale, coerced into countless millions of fellow humans being tortured, burned, maimed in hellish ways for decades on end. Large swaths of the Earth have been turned to toxic wastelands to feed the wargods. Now we drown in their fallout, living daily with radiation in our bones and the threat of mass-incineration.

“Poetry is an act of peace. Peace goes into the making of a poet as flour goes into the making of bread.”
– Pablo Neruda

What cause do we serve today? Tell yourself the truth about killing, about your “entertainment,” your society. Honesty will set you free. Are you kind? Do you know kindness, do you know what it is? Whom does your world belong to?

Another favorite devil delight, as all of our mythologies attest, is masquerading as gods or angels. Some claim to be “fallen angels” or satans. Others, “almighty father” or “lord this or that,” prophet or commander, royal kings who rule by fear. Myriad ways of manipulation of the mind have made generations of men serve their avaricious and barbaric appetites for killing, in a wide array of religious movements and “holy wars” (a demon joke).

Often men’s souls are subsumed to a ghostly degree in the “business of killing” as a solution. Whole cultures of people have disappeared beneath this poisonous tide. In our lifetimes, millions of innocents have been slaughtered or starved on this sacrificial shrine called “power is righteous.” Murder is justified, even by the State which “trusts in God.”

“In this very breath that we take now lies the secret that all great teachers try to tell us.”
– Peter Matthiessen

Now we have reached the bitter end. Our planet’s in peril, billions are on the edge of survival, ruled over by demons of war, to whom we owe our heritage. Of course we have a choice. We always have a choice as to who, and what we serve, though we may be tortured, imprisoned or killed for defying the demons. Our souls are our own domain until we sell them or give them over to the demons to drag down. In the great “inquisitions” which forged this wargod culture, whole villages of women chose to walk into the ocean together rather than be raped and burned as “witches.” With each breath we choose our God, our Mother. With every step we decide how we live or die.

Get the cancerous, corrupted machine-men and their ancient demons completely out of the building. Turn the diplomacy and conflict over to the mothers and children, and the world will be reborn anew in truth and beauty. Ozma, the glowing orb of Gaia, demands this transformation. Only three years until your “infinite curve” ends, humanity of Earth. Choose your future. The bottleneck of the egg-timer is narrow, you see…

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
– Walt Disney

Consider embracing the Sun, celebrate it’s renewal each year, marvel at the solar solutions which will free us all from the death-grip of smog demons and insane warlords. Also, wonder at the amazing daily magic of pumpkins and peas growing in gardens. Count our blessings as we grow in “godliness,” goodness filling our minds and bellies.

We are the navigators of our daily poetry, or book of curses. The choice to save ourselves and our planet now blossoms into the heroic epic you were born for. YOU are a prophet, in the world’s embrace.

We must now end war, or war will end us all. Reclaim our planet and reshape our future for “sustain- ability.” & survival.
