Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels (Part Three: Truth About the Music and Entertainment Industries, From the 60s To Today)

Well, I was unable to put together this Part Three last week, too busy and health and vehicle issues. So, this post is a week late.

Further, I want to mention a novel I’d read and did a lesson on during in my senior year of High School, in English Literature class, a novel by Aldous Huxley, called Point Counter Point. Many consider Huxley to be some socialistic elite scumbag who wanted to screw over the average person, because, after all, that’s what Thomas Huxley and the Fabian Socialists wanted to do. Thing is, while Aldous was a Fabian Socialist (as was George Orwell, by the way), he also told the truth about the psychopathic and anti-human aspects of the elites he hanged out with. While Brave New World is his magnum opus so-to-speak, Point Counter Point is maybe his best and most truthful novel, for it exposes the utter arrogance and psychopathy of the British elite upper class and aristocracy, set in the 1920s—and also features one or two “good guy” characters who opposed this evil elite agenda. This novel, too, inspired my authoring of my novels (the Huxley novel also has a ‘murder rule’ aspect to it). It is for this reason that, unlike so many exposers of elite evil who consider Aldous Huxley an elite scumbag, I do not (and didn’t he predict in a way the transhumanist evil being brought about now in his Brave New World?).

Back to this Part Three post…

From the latter 1960s moving forward, little by little, I found truths that caused me to wonder what the agenda of the popular music and entertainment industries truly was. The whole psychedelic drug thing, the effects of which did not resonate with me: the expression “turn on, tune in, drop out” made no sense…drop out of what? Because articles written in pop culture magazines back then couldn’t help but report “hippies” and whoever taking these drugs and throwing themselves out of windows or thinking they could fly…headfirst onto pavement! Then there was the change in the music, from regular pop to ‘psychedelic’ and ‘orchestral.’ The orchestral (Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and others) was great, almost traditional classical in a way. But the psychedelic was…weird, especially the Beatles album Sargeant Peppers (and the rest of the title), which had the weirdest album cover I had ever seen. All sorts of celebrities on it, many of them dead. Then that weird looking bald-looking older man on the right side of the cover as one looks at it…who turned out to be the forefather of satanic influence in pop culture, Aleister Crowley. That died in 1947…twenty years before that album came out. The opening lyric of the Sargeant Pepper song brings this up (and since the lyric is copyrighted, I’m not going to quote it), and refers to the likely possibility that Crowley was indeed Sargeant Pepper, who “taught” the band to do something if you know what I mean. Plus, Paul McCartney looked different for some reason…and then later, the Abbey Road album cover has him barefoot…Hmmmmm. It was around that time that the ‘Paul is dead’ meme came about. Then about ten years later, John Lennon was assassinated. Then, after George Harrison during an interview (sorry, don’t have link but it’s on YouTube) claimed Paul was indeed dead, so became Harrison! So too did Ringo report this years later, and he is still alive…I hope anyway!

Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels (Part Two: the Nineties, Being Hit With the Truth on Evil Agendas)

Last week, I stated Part Two of this Physical Reality series would deal with who or what controls this world for evil purposes and how my novels play into that. That implies that slowly, but surely, I was being ‘red pilled’ so-to-speak in learning through research and various alternative media of the day (mostly alt radio and magazines/newspapers) just who or what was promoting and bringing about the more obvious evil that seemed to be ruling the world, and it really began in the 1990s. Ruby Ridge, and Waco, as well as President George HW Bush giving a speech about the coming of ‘the new world order.’ Bush signing into law that all babies born in hospitals MUST receive a Social Security Number at birth—which was a major reason we had our daughter at home: WE, not the government, will decide when she gets a SSN! And then the Clintons… Bill Clinton in some presidential campaign speech made the most ridiculous statement I had ever heard in an election campaign and caused me to decide no way was I voting for him: he said, “I smoked marijuana but didn’t inhale.” What a grandiose LIE! If you smoke a joint or a blunt or from a pipe or hash pipe it is a foregone conclusion that you inhaled, period! Same with cigarettes…smoke-inhale. And why would he even state he smoked an illegal substance to begin with? It was during the Clinton Presidency that the so-called ‘patriot movement’ or ‘militia movement’ came about with magazine or alt-newspaper posts or radio posts exposing who controls banking (such as the Rothschilds, who my character Baron Torquay-Lambourgeau is based on), what controls governments (intel agencies, military-industrial-complex, the UN and more, secret societies–Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission, Club of Rome, so-called ‘Illuminati,’ and more) and various occultic spin-offs (such as upper-level Freemasonry…a friend of mine was lower-level but he spoke truth about the upper levels, plus he worked for the DEA and exposed their drug-running ops as well after he retired…and various satanic groups, including one started by Aleister Crowley, but I’ll get more into his satanic crap in Part Three, and the Lucis Trust among others…Lucis meaning Lucifer).

Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels (Part One: The Beginning, the Teen Years)

While I had occasionally listened to transistor radio in the pre-teen years which played rock music mostly from American singers or bands such as the Four Seasons and Elvis Presley and Dion and the Belmonts and more (acts that my older brother liked), it was the Beatles and the so-called ‘British Invasion’ beginning in 1964 that hooked me to rock music (same with all my friends and classmates). Yes, the American acts continued to make hit songs, but it was the Brit bands and singers that ‘owned’ rock radio stations and record sales starting in 1964.

It was around this time I created what would become my novel characters, boys and girls, teens, in a high school clique which evolved into a gang of sorts. At this time the characters were Americans; after all, I knew little about England, so how could these ‘kids’ be English? I watched movies set in what was 1950s and 1960s England (mostly London), but still… However, reading pop culture ‘fan’ magazines, including one from England I don’t remember the name of, helped me learn what being a teen in England was like (living in cities, not the rural areas…I myself lived near New York City, in the Long Island suburbs). Also, during the latter 60s England was going through economic turmoil, possibly joining what was called ‘the Common Market’ (consisting of France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg), and changing the currency somewhat (the value of the British Pound Sterling had been over five dollars per pound, but it devalued to about half of that over time as the US dollar gained value). Further, a politician named Enoch Powell was heading up a form of nationalism that wanted to end or curtail immigration from India and Pakistan (and his followers were called ‘Paki Bashers’). All this during the US incursion into the Vietnam War, which I hated! (I hate war, period!) This terrible war was another reason I decided to make my characters Brits-while the US was at war, Britain was not—and many songs from these Brit bands were antiwar.

Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels

In the previous post titled “Leaving Spiritual Emptiness Behind” citing the spiritual reasons for writing all of my novels, I state that overcoming spiritual emptiness was a major factor. All of the major book characters, especially in The Prodigal Band Trilogy novels, had to overcome spiritual emptiness, and they did by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior and Redeemer as well as partaking in their ‘missions of God.’ At the same time, physical reality emptiness was also overcome as they all began to live in the real world and left behind the staged-celebrity-persona ‘world’ as they became husbands and fathers and (as to the main female characters) mothers and family-oriented men and women with a more traditional bent.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Five (Part Two)

This is a continuation of the previous post of Talent For A Mission, Chapter Five, Part One. Below is Chapter Five, Part Two, the final part of the final chapter of Talent For A Mission, © 2024 Deborah Lagarde. Part One deals with using characters, personalities and roles, and knowledge of national characteristics and the possibility that some target readers has been involved with cults. This final post opens with the possibility that maybe, just maybe, some target readers are members of families some like to call ‘the elites.’ Part Two is below.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Five (Part One)

I decided to split up Chapter Five of Talent For A Mission into two parts for this site. This first part would seem obvious to most authors, using suggestions that, again, would seem obvious to any writer trying to get their readers to consider accepting Christ. But the second part, to be posted next week or the week after, might surprise some authors, but the suggestions there ought to be considered anyway, for it is not just ‘making disciples of all nations,’ but all peoples, even those at the so-called ‘top of the food chain.’ Further, the end of the chapter emphasizes why using talent for your ‘mission’ in these perilous times is paramount. Part One is below, © 2024 Deborah Lagarde.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Five)

Chapter Four of Talent For A Mission ends with the final verses of Luke 15: 25-32 of the Parable of the Prodigal Son, where the brother of the prodigal son, who has always been faithful to his father and has always done the work his father required, becomes angry with the father because his “lost” and “riotous living” younger brother, upon returning to his father, is feted with a fatted calf—while this always faithful son was NEVER treated with such a reward! So this older brother gets on his dad’s case for this “royalty” treatment to a wayward brother who wasted his inheritance when he could have not wasted it.

Below are the verses from Luke 15:25-32—

{15:25} Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

{15:26} And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

{15:27} And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

{15:28} And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

{15:29} And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

{15:30} But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

{15:31} And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

{15:32} It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

To sum up, the elder son is angry because the younger ‘prodigal’ son is getting a hefty “fatted calf” reward just because he gave up the “riotous” lifestyle and returned to his father, a hefty reward father never had given to him. One would think the elder son would be thrilled his younger brother gave up that wasteful lifestyle and returned to his father after learning the negative consequences of that wasteful lifestyle.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Four)

This post, Part Four of Chapter Four of Talent For A Mission, covers Luke 15: 20-24 about “returning to the father.”

{15:20} And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

{15:21} And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

{15:22} But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his] feet:

{15:23} And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it;] and let us eat, and be merry:

{15:24} For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

In other words, the six members of the prodigal band, having been given “missions of God” by God’s angels, the Tooters, “returned to the father.” For, in order to do their “missions of God,” they had to “return to God.” Further, in order to “make merry” and “be found” after years of being “lost” (since “prodigal” means “lost” in this context), they had to repent of their many and grave sins and accept Christ as Lord and Savior and Redeemer, the “rewards” being an eternity in Heaven with their “father,” not an eternity with the satanic Corion “gnawing their bones forever.”

The other “reward” was that, with their jet having had a bomb placed within a cabin seat by a minion of evil, they were taken out of the jet right before the bomb went off, and then existed in a timeless white void where they would make their fateful decisions regarding their “missions.”

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Three)

Note: This is a continuation of the previous post, Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Two), which I had to split into two parts (Two and Three) since the post would have been quite long had I not split it.

Throughout the remainder of The Prophesied Band all six members go on their journey to find their true selves after their Asia-Pacific Island tour ends; being fathers and husbands, vacations in various places with friends, family, or both, partaking in projects to discover the meaning of some songs or some historical figure one of them was obsessed with, and one of them, synthist Bry, trying to unite with wife and children again after a separation. Upon certain truths being revealed and discoveries made to them, their ‘father’ (that is, God) tells His agents, the angels known as the Tooters and their own agent, Morwenna, the ‘witch of the Hovels,’ to set the band on the course of becoming ‘hired servants,’ letting them know that they are about to make their decision about their ‘mission of God’ which is revealed to them in the final Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band. Here are Luke 15:18-19 about becoming ‘hired servants’:

{15:18} I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

{15:19} And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Two)

In the previous post dealing with Part One of Chapter Four of Talent For A Mission, I posted how The Prodigal Band Trilogy used the three novels within the trilogy to encapsulate the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son. The first of the trilogy novels, Battle of the Band, relates to the first three verses of the parable: how the ‘riotous living’ of the six members of a top-rated late-80s and 90s rock band ‘wasted’ their lives and true selves, which led to heart attacks of two of the band members in the novel’s climax, leading them to realize they needed to ‘change their ways.’

In Part Two, I will post how the second novel of the trilogy, The Prophesied Band, shows and tells them giving up their ‘wasted ways’ as a beginning to them ‘returning to their father.’ This novel climaxes with the spirits of Good telling them how they will accomplish this ‘return.’ But they still have real issues they’ll have to deal with, as did the prodigal son, as seen in the continued parable below. Part Three deals with what those spirits of Good tell them so that they can choose, or not choose, to ‘return to their father.’ Since I did not want to make this post very long, I will post this ‘spirits of Good’ part right before Christmas.

Part One featured Luke 15:11-13. Part Two features Luke 5:14-17, below—

{15:14} And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

{15:15} And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

{15:16} And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

{15:17} And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

I will only feature one snippet showing the spiritual “hunger” the six band members experience due to their “riotous living” and the consequences, both physical and spiritual, of that lifestyle. In Chapter Four of The Prophesied Band, band singer Erik and bassist Keith—who nearly died of heart attacks in the final climax chapter of Battle of the Band, realize the “hunger” for meaningful lives as not only members of ‘the band of the 90s,’ but as husbands and fathers, as well as their true selves outside of the celebrity spotlights—for they both know it will take a bit of time to physically recover (and later, they have their Asia-Pacific Island tour rescheduled over it). They discuss this “hunger” while recovering in a private hospital in the town they grew up in, Walltown.
