Tikbalang Incorporated: March 2011

Andrew have seen now what he would know later to be a latent ability of the Gods. The aggressor who called himself Azrael doubled before their very eyes. Just as quickly, the two Azrael resumed the attack.

The power of the Neck Tie Man had not diminished. In fact, the appearance of the second Azrael spelled for the priest twice the trouble. He won’t be able to keep up for long. And just as he feared, the other broke away from their fight and targeted Andrew.

“Your own your own but with my blessing.” The reverend spoke with his usual sarcasm. Deep inside though, he fears for him. But Gods early on must measure up or die...

APOTHEOSIS - the beginning

“Many are called, but only a few are chosen. It’s because priesthood is not just a matter of faith. It is a matter of choice. And while many better men could have donned the cassock, not all of them would have the stomach to perform such utterly complex and immaculate deception. Therefore, there remains but a resolute few to perform the harvest. It’s a cloak and dagger thing, if you know what I mean.”

Perhaps I should tell you then just to be clear.

“Holy men tell us life is a mystery. They embrace that concept happily. But some mysteries bite and bark and come to get you in the dark.”

Have you ever wondered why god spoke through prophets in parables? If all were to be saved from the damning pits of hell, and assuming everyone is equal in the eyes of god, why must his words be understood by only a selected few? Surely, the God of Israel would not have us confused.

“The Son of Man died for us. Anyone who accepts Christ gets to heaven with a free ride!” I could hear you saying now. Well, I’ve got to tell you this: You don’t get off the hook that easily.

Keep moving forward.

The Pope, with a clear mandate from heaven (passed on from Christ to Paul), is infallible. It would be a heretical opinion for anybody, Catholics or not, to say otherwise. What profanity and blasphemy it would be – and, pity on you – if you are to hold a different view. That being said, Pope Leo X spoke thus: “It has served us well, this myth of Christ.”

Oh don’t you give me that damned philistine look when I’m showing you the way. How about End-Times which fail to end on time? Or the Hell that daily fails to swallow you and me?

Let it sink and simmer. I’d like to give as much time as you need but that is something we don’t have much of. Let me spell it out to you. Let me tell you now what Paul really passed on to his successor in layman’s words that you may easily understand.

“You have been fucked… and, fucked badly!”

Seriously now, do you still think Jesus would buy you your salvation?

Now, why am I telling you all this? It’s because I believe humanity has a destiny greater than itself. And to seize that destiny, mankind must come to terms with the truth that shall set it free. Deprived for so long of a birth right etched in his genes, humankind could still live up to its full potential.

No longer should you tolerate religion or any other institution to keep you in the dark. Faith without reason is perfidy.

Humble not yourself and genuflect not in every shrine. You are better off building your own altar. Have you not been made in the image and likeness of God? If so, what does that make you? Certainly not some docile sheep as they would like you to think so.

Return the favor you owe Prometheus by getting loose from your chains. And by that, may the collective intensity of man’s inner fire bestow strength to the giant god to eventually free him from his own shackle. And should you ever meet him face to face when the deed is done, honor him by giving due courtesy to an equal.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee: For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but looses his soul? The answer should have been obvious by now. You profit a lot. You become God.

Let this be your Genesis!”
