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.

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!

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 One (Part Two)…The Why, Continued

I am posting the rest of Chapter One of Talent For A Mission today, Saturday, October 28, 2023 because my area will experience sudden winter-snow-freezing weather the last three days of October, and the power or the internet may go out. Further, it seems that the so-called “end times” are approaching faster and faster what with the Israel-Hamas-Middle East war and rumors of wars…a saying within the Bible Book of Revelation and also Gospels. Thus perhaps–folks, I do not trust the media, legacy or alternative anymore–the time is fast approaching where true believers on Christ must decide to ‘make disciples of all nations.’ And I must get this treatise or guide or whatever completed soon and then post on this site. From Chapter One of Talent For A Mission, copyright © 2023 by Deborah Lagarde:

So, below is the rest of Chapter One:

A Further Introduction to The Murder Rule, With More Coming

And here is a “more rigorous” part of the Introduction or Preface to The Murder Rule, which I had stated contained three parts. Here is why there are three parts—the characteristics of the three most important character-types in each of the three parts: entertainment industry celebrities, music industry fans who are heavily influenced by their celebrity idols (and which can apply to any fan of any industry, such as sports, fashion, artwork, novels and books, nature, religion, cults, politics, ideologies…you name it), and industry handlers and controllers, both good and evil (or any handler or controller of a any industry or nation or NGO…you name it). So I am dealing with so-called “influencers” (I wonder who came up with that term!), those influenced, and those handling the “influencers.” These characteristics can apply to nearly anyone on Earth: the masses (the influenced), the controllers (the so-called “elites,” most of whom are simply IMHO parasites), and those that the controllers use to influence the masses (the celebrities and other idols).

Now, The Prodigal Band Trilogy also had these types but is mostly focused on the “influencers” (the prodigal band Sound Unltd) and the controllers (Swami Negran, Cole Blessing, Mark Besst, Torquay and his bankster buddies, and one good guy from the elites who sided with the band, not the controllers—Joe Phillips, a key character in Part Three of The Murder Rule), but does not key in on “the masses” so-to-speak, with one exception—Bobby Jones, a fan and roadie and creator of a song the band will perform in order to aid in their “mission of God” given to them by the forces of Good. Further, while these “forces,” which are spiritual—the Tooters angels and the “witch” Morwenna—play key roles in the trilogy, they are barely mentioned in The Murder Rule. Why? Because The Murder Rule is more “physical world” focused. While the evil that rules this world heavily influences those who carry out the Evil’s missions of death and destruction of what the Almighty God has created, The Murder Rule (while still spiritually inspired) is mainly about exposing the Evil and its minions and their agendas. As Ephesians 6:12 states: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” And part of my mission is the “wrestle” against the spiritual wickedness in high places that controls the “controllers”—the “flesh and blood” the Evil uses to “control” the world so as (it thinks) it can ascend into heaven (Isaiah 14-style, the so-called “five ‘I wills’”). And I hope the reader of this novel will carry out similar missions to expose the Evil and its minions.

Remember: the Evil and its minions will lose, for God—the Creator and the Almighty—not the Evil or its minions, is in control!

 

My next post will likely be in mid-July. Like I said, more “introduction” info is coming. And the editing of each of the three parts is completed. Next is putting it all together, and the cover art…

Preface to The Murder Rule

A more rigorous Introduction to The Murder Rule is forthcoming.

Using three parts, with each part utilizing characters that make up support or main characters within The Prodigal Band Trilogy, this ‘spin-off’ novel attempts to expose what I have discovered to be a ‘conspiracy’—a truthful one—within the hallmarks of powerful institutions and industries, with focus on the entertainment industry. As with The Prodigal Band Trilogy, those within the entertainment or popular culture industries that fail to ‘toe the line’ set forth by the captains of those industries stand an excellent chance of being ‘cancelled,’ so to speak. Further, those on the fringes of these industries that expose the evil within these industries are also targets, which, in Part Two, includes a rock band roadie that also joins the same cult of which this band are members. Finally, those in industry ‘elite’ circles who turn against ‘the agenda’ of the ‘rulers’ of both the industry and the world in general, even those within elite family bloodlines, are not exempt from danger.

In this novel, I call this ‘danger’ ‘the murder rule.’

In the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, called The Prodigal Band, is the opening line of the novel—“If dead rock stars could talk.”

In other words, rock stars and others within the pop culture industry that turn against their ‘rulers,’ having realized they partook in evil activities on- and off-stage and inside and outside the recording studio and also partook in debauched lifestyles even to the point of life-crisis, have fallen victim to the consequences of no longer ‘toeing the line.’ Recent examples include Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Sound Garden’s Chris Cornell, both of whom, being close friends within rival bands, set out to expose pedophilia rings in and out of the entertainment industry, and more. The false ‘narrative’ claims they committed ‘suicide by doorknob.’ Can one truly hang themselves on a doorknob? I don’t think so! My conclusion is that both were murdered for wanting to expose pedophile rings. Unfortunately, dead rock stars cannot ‘talk.’ If they could, they would expose the truth of it.

But The Murder Rule also features characters affiliated with entertainers who know and want to expose the truth if the evil in the industry. One is a roadie and fan of the prodigal band who joins a cult only to leave the cult upon discovering its evil and thus risks ‘the murder rule.’ Another is the prodigal band manager who never truly went along with the evil agenda that happened to be ruled over by his own father!

To expose evil, but not by giving speeches or lectures or using the tools for videos. To expose evil by utilizing the writing talent God gave me…part of my ‘mission of God’ so to speak, is why I wrote this novel.

                                                                             Deborah Lagarde,

                                                                             June 13, 2023

Hopefully, the Introduction will be completed by the end of June at the latest. Cheers!

“The Murder Rule” Has Been Completed…with Final Edit Upcoming.

I have just completed the preliminary edits for all three parts of The Murder Rule, with a final edit coming soon–and then ‘splicing’ all three parts into one whole novel, and, of course, creating the cover art, copyright pages, and the Preface which I am composing now. The novel will be published by OmegaBooks and will be available as a FREE PDF. For one thing, I do not need the income from book sales, and to get the novel in print form I’d have to pay a possibly large price to get print editions. I could put the novel on Amazon Kindle or another platform, but then I’d have to follow their guidelines as to formatting that I really don’t have the patience to perform just to earn a bit of income from e-book sales and/or royalties…it’s not worth the effort when it is the MESSAGE imparted within the novel, not income, that matters to me. And the MESSAGE is this–the world is ruled by evil! This evil must be defeated!
The next post, which contains parts of the Preface (or Introduction) to The Murder Rule, will be posted later this week. Then the Foreword, which sums up each part, will be composed and partially posted before the end of June, 2023. Cheers!

Note: The picture shown above (that I took with a camera, not a smart phone, back in 2009 while in Washington, DC) may be featured within the cover art.
