The Gospel According to Lucifer (entry 1)

-

This is a draft from the book idea that I want to write and get published. It's written from Lucifer's point of view. I will explain in a different point why his name is Light-of-Mine. Just know that's what God calls him. The word, mal'ak, is Hebrew for angel as attested in the Old Testament.

***

He knew that it could happen. He knew that any one of us could have gotten
frustrated through not knowing all the details of His plan and any of us could
have slipped. However, it was me.

"Light-of-Mine, I don't want you to think that I am disappointed, that I am
angry with you."
"I know that You aren't," I said respectfully
"However, you changed My plan."
"I didn't know what You wanted to do…"
"It is not your place to know," God interrupted, "Yet since you have gotten
so involved, I need to give you a new charge."
"Yes?"
"You may not enter Heaven like you were able to do before. I need you to
watch over these humans since they now will need help to gain entry."
"I am to give humans entry into Heaven, though I cannot go in."
"No, Light-of-Mine, I need you to watch over these souls, now that they have
been advanced too quickly for their own evolution. For when their energy
separates from their body, most will not be ready for that and they will be in
denial. They will still believe themselves to be corporal, and they cannot get
into Heaven still clinging to thoughts that they are one with their bodies.
Those very thoughts alone will prohibit their entry into Heaven."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to let life happen and watch angels evolve from matter. I
created you and your siblings to know me, love me, and to know and love each
other. Like your fellow mal'iks, humans are part of this Creation. However, I
let them come from the matter I created to fill the void and they are a
procession in the generation of mal'iks. You and your siblings are the end of My
Creation, and the universe we obverse is the beginning."
"These humans were to become angels?"
"They were to evolve eventually into angels."
"They won't now?"
"They won't, without a little intervention. I will watch their process and
when the correct situation shows itself, I will send the proper intervention.
Until then, I need you to watch the souls of the humans who die before then to
ensure that they are safe. Can I get your promise to do that?"
"Yes, my LORD, You can."
"Go, and protect My Creation."
"Praise be to You."

Our agreement had conditions. I was not able to enter Heaven. I had to
promise not to show my radiant display of His glory; I can only appear in a subtle
form. I would watch over Sheol and the souls that entered there until there
came a possibility to move on to Heaven. God could not enter Sheol, and no
creation of God would be removed from Heaven like I was. No other creation of
God would be punished as severely for turning against His plan.

This is the start of my rule of Hell, but not as your kind portrays. The
concept of Hell, as you show it, is used to scare people into believing the
appropriate mores. While there is a state of not being in God's presence, it is
not the bastion of evil torture, fire and brimstone. Sheol is a very personal
experience and it only influenced by you. It is the beginning on your journey
back to Heaven starting at the occurrence of your death.

Souls in Sheol do not want to realize that they are dead. Most blame God for
their existence in this realm. Truly, if you want to blame anyone, it's me.
I altered your evolution and therefore there is more process for you in order
to return to God.

This is what souls need to do in Sheol: come to terms with only being a
spiritual entity. Some souls are haunted by their darkest fears. Some souls can
perceive the corporal world and still try to interact within it. Sometimes
souls can, but it is only minor and that frustrates them even more. However, the
soul that is ready to contemplate that concept of eternity and the freedom of
only being energy continues to evolution from human into mal'ik. It is still
a process, but only accepting completely and totally this new existence can
one have the hope of leaving the Sheol.

The day we lost Pluto

-
or (And your little dog, Goofy, too!) It’s official, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), founded in 1919, has defined (I never had that much time in my life to define something -- most of my identify and define tests were given in the time frame of 40 minutes, slackers.) what a planet is: A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. According to this definition, Pluto has been demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite. Pluto is a dwarf planet by the above definition and is ...

Isaac

-
On "Confessions on a Dance Floor," there's a song Isaac , which I have fallen in love with. There's a great Yemenite chant intermingled in the song, which is translated into "if all of the doors of all of the generous peoples' homes are closed to you, the gates of heaven will always be open." Of course, it's controversial. Some rabbis has called her blasphemous (Madonna blasphemous?) since they believed the song to be about a 15th century Kabbalist, Isaac Lurier. It is forbidden to invoke his name in order to make a profit. Madonna's response is that she named the song after the cantor, Yitzhak (Isaac in English) Sinwani, for lack of a better name. (Seriously, who cares, Madge is R.C. and she's known for blasphemy. Didn't she really give JPII a heartattack that finally did him in in April?) Madonna's lyrics are: Staring up into the heavens In this hell that binds your hands Will you sacrifice your comfort Make your way in a foreign la...

Braciole

-
While I had time off during the Christmas break, I spent it working on a braciole recipe for the slow cooker.   In Italian American cuisine, braciole (the word is commonly pronounced /ˌbrä-zhəl/ from the Sicilian dialect) is the name given to thin slices of meat, usually beef, that are prepared as a roulade, a meat slice rolled around a filling then browned and braised. When I first had braciole, they were small individual servings, like the German Rouladen.  However in my search for a slow cooker version, I discovered recipes that made a large roulade versus the individual portions.  If Giada can do it, then so can I. The effort that goes into crafting the individual braciole is intense. Therefore, I was excited that most of the recipes called for a big roast sized braciole.  Cutting down the directions to a comfortable level of simplicity makes for a delicious meal without the hours of toil and let's the cook enjoy the food. I played with these two recipes, Bo...
