The previous post in this series, Part Three, where the prodigal band is within white, timeless void, ends with former roadie, Bobby, who also composed a song for them relating to their “missions of God” about ‘the Way,’ Chrit, telling them that they had a choice as to accept the missions through accepting Christ—it was up to them, period. In this Part Four, they begin their journey into making that choice. The snippet, neither long nor short, will be broken up a couple of times in order to explain necessary ‘background’ material to help the reader understand what is happening within the snippet, from the middle of Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band, © 2018 Deborah Lagarde. Below is the snippet, in portions.

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Three)
The previous post, Part Two of this series, ends with the six prodigal band members heading upward along a “line” that seemed to move upward to an undetermined location. Then, suddenly, a “dot” is noticed. In previous posts, “dots” would indicate the presence of a person—or a being of some kind. The “being” they encountered tells them what they needed to hear to guide them into their “mission,” and appeared in person in the previous chapter: Bobby, a former roadie who sent them a song he wrote that he hoped would inspire them to do what was necessary to carry out their “missions of God.” It was this event which caused them to consider whether they would truly accept and accomplish their “missions,” or not. Bobby also told them why they had to be “raptured” (caught up) to this “timeless void.”
The snippet below, unlike the previous one, is rather short.
A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Two)
This post, Part Two, from the likely most important chapter (Chapter Eleven) in the entire Prodigal Band Trilogy, opens up the likelihood that the band will collectively accept not only their “God-given” missions (given by God’s angels), but God Himself.
But first, let me state why, having said I would post the week after posting Part One, which was last week, I could not post: I could not post because I was too busy being with family and barely even used the internet. I wasn’t even at the location I am now.
Now then, on to Part Two of this series, and a very long post at hand, broken into sections to help in the explanation of this post.
A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part One)
It is within Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band, the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, where the most important key to the purpose of writing this trilogy is found. It is where the prodigal band named Sound Unltd decides to ‘return to the Father,’ that is, God, as the Luke 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son states. It is where they collectively decide to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and Redeemer.
It has been over three weeks since I posted my last post which related to The Murder Rule, the post being inspired by the near-assassination of Slovakia leader Fico and the assassination of a military leader of Iran, Raisi…on top of other important assassinations and near assassinations that have been done recently—and throughout history. But last night as I was reading this section of The Prodigal Band, inspiration came into my head to write here that this section ‘sealed the deal’ so-to-speak—the band would accept and carry out their ‘missions of God’ given to them by God’s angels, the Tooters, at their hometown festival, during the final note of a song the Tooters gave them years before.
This section is long and somewhat complicated as each band member sparks his personality into the conversations they carry out within a ‘void,’ a timeless, soundless, unknown dimension they think just might be ‘heaven.’ It is a void they were ‘caught up’ into having been taken out of a jet that was about to burn due to a bomb going off, a bomb placed by a minion of evil to force them to ‘toe the line’ or be murdered. They were headed to a ‘Directorate meeting’ where the agenda was to force them to finalize their ‘sell their souls to the devil’ pact, on paper, to finalize their ‘oaths’ to the satanic spirit figure, Corion. The section begins with them getting onto their 747 jet from Philadelphia to London and ends with their collective decision to accept Christ. The section will be divided into a few parts, and, unlike the snippet posts which tended to be longer, each sub-section will be explained as to the personalities within the conversations and various events that happen to them in the void, including those with Biblical implications…being “caught up,” but not quite in the clouds…
Before I post the segment that begins this series of posts, let me review for the reader’s sake the names of the band members ‘caught up’ into this ‘heavenly’ void—from Chapter One of Battle of the Band, with the names of the band members inserted in parentheses:
A lead singer (Erik) with dark brown mid-back length hair accentuated by sensuous bangs on a baby-face was slender, thin-lipped and of medium height. Voice a Godly gift. Yet, some said, the devil’s tool.
The tall dirty-haired guitarist (Jack) possessed an angular face and had hair growing on once side-shaved sides of his head. Now without the screaming instrument he fired into immortality.
The dark, strapping bass player (Keith) with bushy black curls and coal-dark eyes walked without his trademark gold chains.
The tall, lanky, beak-nosed, ringlet-haired master of many guitars (Mick) worried over his past perversions.
The pot-bellied, biker-esque synthesizer player (Bryan) famed for red hair as wild as the wind, fiery as his brew, bore a downcast of regret.
A short, curly-blond percussionist (Tom) once angered by lost love approached with the others to an unknown destination, glad with a full life behind him.
Below is Part One of this series; the scenes are a prelude to the ‘caught up’ into a ‘heavenly realm,’ with the band members at the jet and on it headed to London. But there will be ‘note’ interruptions to explain what is going on in the segments and the characters involved.
The Murder Rule, While Being My Fourth Fiction Novel, Appears To Be a ‘Non-Fiction’ Scenario Against Those Who Won’t ‘Toe the Line’
My fourth fiction novel, a spin-off of my The Prodigal Band Trilogy titled The Murder Rule, was titled that because it seems like a truthful term to use when describing how ‘the rulers of this world,’ using their human ‘elite’ puppets, deal with national and state and world leaders who refuse to carry out the evil agendas of these evil, Satanic ‘rulers.’ This ‘murder rule’ as I call it has been practiced for millennia, world-wide, and practiced by those who believed they had a duty to punish leaders who would not carry out their orders, to their specifications. History is full of this—do the research.
More recent examples: US President John F. Kennedy, who tried to institute the ‘United States Notes’ in 1963 to counteract the fiat currency Federal Reserve Notes (as the Federal Reserve is a PRIVATELY OWNED BANKING INSTITUTION, owned by the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and other elite dynastic families), so he had to be ‘taken care of’ if you know what I mean; Libyan leader Gaddafi, who refused to take part in the international fiat currency banking system and tried to make Libya’s currency gold-backed; the Russian Romanov czar ruling family, who refused to allow the Rothschilds etc. to install Bolshevism aka Communism, so they all had to get murdered; Austro-Hungarian leader Archduke Ferdinand, because these same banksters needed to fund both sides of World War One to satisfy their lust and greed; recent Japanese leader Shinzo Abe, supposedly because he had a different take on spirituality that pissed off those following traditional Japanese religion (but I suspect there is more to this than just a religion he followed); Pakistan’s leader Benazir Bhutto, a female in a land where women tend to be persecuted (but so was her whole family), because again, she was popular among the people and refused to toe the internationalist line. And let’s not forget Vatican City, where the last (in my mind anyway) decent Pope, John Paul I, was murdered because he wanted to clean up the corruption within the Vatican, including the Vatican Bank; Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was the last Israeli leader who attempted to make peace with the Palestinians under PLO-Fatah leader Yasser Arafat with the Oslo Accords, so was assassinated because of that, in 1995 after a peace rally in Tel Aviv…Arafat was assassinated years later. And there are a whole lot more to add to this list…
Over the last week or so, two national leaders were either assassinated or survived an attempt: Slovakia Prime Minister Fico, who survived, and Iranian leader Raisi, who was likely assassinated along with another minister in a helicopter crash (and, of course, what with the enmity between Iran and Israel, Israel is getting blamed for this—but I need proof! The way I see it, Israel right now has enough problems, and not just Hamas…you know, Hezbollah? Which is bombing northern Israel…Do these folks actually want to bring supposedly nuclear-armed Iran into the fight when they can barely handle Hamas and Hezbollah? Hmmmm….)
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.
Leaving Spiritual Emptiness Behind: Another Reason I Was Inspired to Author The Prodigal Band Trilogy Novels
Happy Resurrection Day, aka Easter. And sorry, trannies, I am not honoring Brandon’s “Transgender Day” or whatever he’s calling it… I do Christ, not politics!
But in honor of my Lord and Savior and Redeemer’s arising from the dead or grave days after His crucifixion and burial, I will state another reason I was inspired to write the three novels that make up The Prodigal Band Trilogy. Having been laid spiritually empty on some occasions beginning in the early 70s when I was trying to ‘find myself,’ and also having experienced some spiritual emptiness in the 90s (dealing with New Agers had something to do with that), I had to incorporate spiritual emptiness within my main characters—the band members as well as their women—because they had to overcome this spiritual emptiness as I was overcoming it. Thus, the novels aren’t just about the journey of the band and women out of spiritual satanic-like darkness into the Light of Christ based on the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son, but are also based on my own journey from spiritual emptiness to spiritual fulfillment and happiness and without fear (think of that line from Dune here: “fear is the mind killer.” © 1965 Herbert Properties LLC).
I do not remember the exact date some spiritual entity ‘spoke’ into my mind that I had to begin the novel series—get the characters I had created in the late 60s out of my head at last—but it was in October, and I think the year was 1993. So, while mothering a baby girl and also raising a toddler boy, I began writing what I knew of the story of my rock band characters. But, as I was writing the book that would later be called Battle of the Band, I realized the plot and theme were, well, spiritually empty! Yes, they were into the ‘sex, drugs, and rock and roll’ lifestyle, but that rock star lifestyle would, by the mid-90s, drag them and their women as well into addictions, alcoholism, sexual perversion, and personalities that were empty shells of their former selves. In other words, spiritual emptiness and even suicidal behavior. The climax to end the novel has two of the band members nearly dying of heart attacks as the rest of the band and women live in fear of their passing—until God’s spirit beings dispense with the evil ones and guide the two out of death spirals and guide also their watchers: the novel ends with them realizing they have to change their ‘riotous living’ ways! This event takes place in the second novel, The Prophesied Band, where, at the climax, they were given their ‘missions of God,’ because they were ready for these missions…well, almost. In The Prodigal Band to end the trilogy, they do ‘missions on themselves’ so-to-speak: they accept Christ as Lord and Savior, which guides them into completing their missions they were given. The spiritual emptiness had been overcome, first by witnessing and partaking in a miracle, and then later witnessing another life-saving miracle.
So that, in completing the trilogy, spiritual fulfillment took a hold of me beginning in late February, 1997, when I witnessed my own personal ‘shining’ so-to-speak, which inspired me to complete my own authoring ‘mission.’ That is why, on this day, Resurrection Day, I wish spiritual fulfillment on all who read this post. Blessings!
