Choose One Path

The whole dam world was flooding with violence and war when, in 1916, Robert Frost published his poem about two roads diverging, and how he chose one and not the other and that has made all the difference in his life. This is what happened to me, although mine was much later in time. In 1977 I took a turn that has made all the difference. I was hanging out with some people who were into the so-called "secret doctrines," theosophy, Madame Blavatsky, ancient Egyptian mysteries and blah blah blah. But I turned and went the other way. I entered a door that had been unlocked for me by the One man who had lived through this life and was sentenced to die a criminal death, which he did, and then resurrected, fully alive and well and lived to tell about it. . . which he did, and which testimony was given then, now, and ever since and has continually been spoken, written about, sung about and celebrated since about 33 A.D. Therefore I said to hell with Blavatsky and the secret doctrines and the dark side and the Force and blahblah. I will follow the example of the ancient prophet, Daniel, who was aware that strong and important people would come along, people who forsake the Almighty God. Now we're talking about the God whose presence in this world is obvious in the glory of every sunrise and sunset, and whose testimony of Life victory over defeated death has reverberated around the world ever since people started calling one time "BC" and the next time "AD." And I don't care if the joker comes along with his secret doctrines and his special knowledge and his special discovery from the land down under and his dark arts and his third reich rhetoric and his fourth reich magamania bullshit, standing at the top of politics or business or so-called religion or philosophy maga-land or the temple itself calling us his "precious Chr******ns". . . I don't care. Go jump in the lake. I'm going with the One whose main point was proven for all time when He allowed the powers to be to nail him to a cross, and then, three days later, walked out of that grave!
In all of history, do you know of any person who has died and then lived to tell about it? There is only One, and he's the same one who went up on a temple-top, and on a mountaintop, and was spoken to with special promises from his nemesis. But Jesus told Satan to go jump in the lake of fire, or get the hell outa here and get behind me. Go, instead, and worship the Creator of the Universe. But hey, that "road not taken" - that dark path that I left behind in 1977 - is still out there for people to get sucked into. If this message rings true for you, and you know what I'm talking about. . . Don't do it! Don't take the dark path. Don't fall for the secret mysteries. Fuhgeddabout the secret doctrine and philosophy and rebaked Aussie darwinism and every other wind of doctrine and turn to the one who conquered death itself. Then so. . . will you do. You will survive death. Just do it and don't worry about it. King of Soul
