The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Three): Guitarist-Producer Mick’s Mission

I would say Mick’s mission was given to him by God’s angels, the Tooters, as it was given because of his connections to the occult as well as the fact that he was considered by the media and fans and more as the most reprobate member of the prodigal band, including the fact that he had been bisexual and hung out with supposed Satanists. Further, when the angel gave him the mission message while the singer held his final song note at that local music festival in July, 2000, that angel “spewed fire” in disgust as he spoke (from Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band, © 1998 Deborah Lagarde). The angel’s message is below:

None of the six were more shaken than Mick, who shivered mightily in his clothes as Tooter One, with a voice that could spew brimstone, helped the lanky one recount his many acts of perversion: pagan worship, leading your occultist Druid Family cult, promoting and loving the satanic singer, Adam Bloodlove.

“Even so, you have finally seen some of the error of your ways and are thus entitled to complete your mission. One, continue to mend your sinful lifestyle. As you do this, we, The Tooters of The Creator, charge you with making your fellows in perversion see their own errors. As well as you can, lead the fornicators and pagan worshipers to the One True God. Your mission completion will help Him weigh the rest of your life in the balance. We hope you will not be found wanting.”

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 Two (Part Two)—My Personal ‘Why’ Continued, A ‘Born Again’ Event

I know this post is a bit late, but things happen. Below is a continuation of the previous post from Talent For A Mission, Chapter Two, copyright © 2023 Deborah Lagarde, which tells why I chose to believe on Christ.

Talent For A Mission, Chapter Two (Part One)–My Personal “Why”

This next post from Talent For A Mission (copyright 2023 Deborah Lagarde) is from Chapter Two and goes into some detail as to why I chose to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior–and Redeemer. Why redeemer? Because as with all humans beginning with Adam and Eve having been tempted by “the serpent” aka Satan to commit sin, that sin or sins–and remember, all humans fall short of the glory of God except for Christ as human–provide a “debt” so-to-speak that must be repented, then pardoned or paid-in-kind in order to reach Heaven to be with God. When Christ shed blood on the cross as a sacrifice, it was to REDEEM all sins of all people who repented of their sins and accepted Christ as Redeemer along with Savior. And, in this part one of Chapter Two, I explain some of the sins I did that had to be redeemed through repentance. And these weren’t typical sins, either, but serious ones in my opinion! But here is the weird aspect of this–while doing these sins, God STILL had my back and saved me from some possible death scenarios! And one wonders why I accepted Christ? Hmmm…

Below is the first part of Chapter Two, which is rather long and will be posted in three parts over November.

“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.

Parable from Luke 15: The Prodigal Son Meets The Prodigal Band (Part One)

Folks, this trilogy is called The Prodigal Band Trilogy for a reason! And the reason is this: the parable within the Gospels spoken to the Apostles by Christ Himself that gave the most inspiration to this trilogy was the Parable of the Prodigal (Lost) Son within the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15. The parable is below, and has been during my entire life one of my favorite parables. My other two favorite parables have also been referenced in my Biblical References Snippet posts—the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard and the Parable of the Talents. All three work together to impart my mission message, but it made more sense to me, what with my trilogy about a rock band that gains fame and fortune but loses their ‘souls’ so to speak, to call this the Prodigal Band Trilogy, where the ‘prodigal band’ meets (spiritually) the ‘prodigal son.’

Before I go on, let me explain the meanings of prodigal and prodigy. The ‘prodigal son’ is ‘lost’ because of wasteful extravagance. He is wasting his ‘inheritance’ (or, in the case of my prodigal band members) or ‘talents.’ Three of the band members, singer Erik, bassist Keith, and keyboard synthist Bry, are also child prodigies, possessing ‘extraordinary talent’ at singing and music playing as children through inheritance from ancestors. Instead of throwing their given talents into classical music or opera singing where they could make good incomes, they instead choose rock stardom, as they could then acquire extravagant fame and especially fortune. And we all know the lifestyles of rock stars, right? Sex, drugs, and rock and roll…

Below is the parable from Luke 15 (copyright-free King James Version):

Snippets of Reality Within The Prodigal Band Trilogy: Past and Present Real World Influences on the Evil Characters

The previous snippet here dealt with end-time scenarios of a kind I am seeing on many pop culture and news websites thanks not only to the corona virus but mainly the reaction to this so-called pandemic by ordinary people, medical ‘experts,’ tech oligarchs, governments, and religious leaders who seriously think we are in those ‘days of Noah.’ Note to these religious leaders: God, not you, gets to decide when the end times are coming! You might be right, but stop the fear mongering anyway! Fear mongering and preparing for the end times are two different things!

End times or not, it does seem that this world is ruled by evil forces. I still do not know exactly how this corona virus started or where it started but there are a multitude of conspiracy theories about this including the notion that some ‘deep state’ group or big-pharma-techie alliance for vaccine profit got this going in some lab somewhere just because, or something else. So, did some evil group create this so-called pandemic to set up some globalist order or a system to track every person on the planet? Snippet three in the previous snippet post brings this up, only it is not a chip but an ID card. Supposedly, some tech geniuses want to put some tracking chip into a coming corona virus/covid-19 vaccine. Some are calling this chip ‘the mark of the beast.’

Back to the evil forces. The Bible verse Ephesians 6:12 lays this out–‘For 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.’ (KJV, copyright-free) And that ‘spiritual wickedness’ is what controls the minions of evil, who will do whatever it takes to control the world and its people. Did they create this virus? Maybe. But it seems more likely they are using corona virus for their evil agenda; different minion groups have different evil agendas. If tech oligarchs combined with big pharma and others are creating a vaccine with a tracking chip as some claim, then that is, indeed, part of an evil agenda. Our Bill of Rights allows not only freedom of speech, thought, religion (or not), but also freedom of assembly. Without these rights, folks get anxious and fearful–perhaps that is what evil wants.

Notice I mentioned alliances between tech firms and ‘big pharma’ or what some would call ‘healers or philanthropists.’ And it just so happens (again, divine guidance) that two of my most important evil characters, Cole Blessing (The Prophesied Band) and Mark Besst (The Prodigal Band) are ‘healer/philanthropist’ and ‘tech oligarch,’ respectively. The first two snippets, from The Prophesied Band, feature Cole Blessing. The second two snippets, from The Prodigal Band, feature Mark Besst. Both Blessing and Besst, as with Swami Negran, have a task that their evil god Corion has given them and must be completed: get the prodigal band, Sound Unltd, to sign an ‘allegiance oath’ giving their souls to Corion.

Inspirations from Reality: Truth Snippets Within The Prodigal Band Trilogy–The Series

My original inspiration to author the books of The Prodigal Band Trilogy was divine, or divine inspiration, my ‘mission of God’ so to speak, a term I use within the novels. But that was not the only reason for the content of these books: Battle of the Band, The Prophesied Band, The Prodigal Band.

Through years of research into popular culture, various brainwashing programs based on eye-witness stories, New Age philosophy and cult practices–I’ve known several individuals who belonged to New Age cults as well as bogus Christian ones, and of course occult groups as well–effects of drug use on various rockers and others including overdoses leading to death or near-death, supposed ‘suicides’ by famous rockers that may or may not have been suicides and were perhaps even murders (the ‘27 Club’ and all that…and now famous young rappers also appear to be caught up in that)… And then there has been research into Satanism, the so-called ‘Illuminati’ and other evil groups in that the power these evil ideas have on popular culture especially these days with all the symbolism shown in VMA shows and whatnot…devil horns, eye-covering ‘one eye symbol’ photos that seem to be everywhere…and the various websites exposing this stuff. Seemingly what began as my research began in the late 60s before I even considered writing these novels is now the norm. Back in the 60s and 70s, it seemed a bit extreme. Yet the most popular bands of that era, and their handlers, may have set those occultic scenarios into motion. I know that because I, too, dabbled into the occult for a short time.

I will say this, however. Without the divine inspiration, my novels would likely have played out differently. The journey of my six-member band, the ‘prodigal band,’ would have ended up on a different course.

Beginning next week this series of reality events and truths that caused me to write what I wrote will be posted, one truth at a time.

And, while fiction is fiction, there is likely not one fiction novel of any genre or kind that has not been inspired by some real event or truth in the life of the author.

As to the picture at the top of this post–“pearls of wisdom,” so to speak.

Snippets of The Prodigal Band Trilogy: Paranormal

The two previous set of snippets dealt with the occult; this one deals with the paranormal. Some might consider occult and paranormal the same thing, but there are differences. Occult implies humans practicing witchcraft or satanic rituals or playing at them–that is, occult is where, to one degree or another, humans are in control or at least are doing the bidding of the spirit that is taking part in or leading the ritual. Paranormal, according to the definition I found, implies lack of control on the part of humans to some extent: denoting events or phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding. That is, normal human understanding!

The two snippets in this post, both from the final book of the trilogy, The Prodigal Band, are clearly beyond human understanding, as both events are completely under divine control, for divine purposes. One of the snippets is similar to an actual event that happened to someone I know. Similar events also occurred to some very key figures in the Bible.

Snippets of The Prodigal Band Trilogy: Occult, Part 2

Part One of this snippet-occult series delves into mock occult practices which anyone that feels like faking occult practices could do, such as claiming to ‘channel’ some spirit entity so as to embed oneself into some New Age celebrity grouping, for instance. Heck, IMHO, anyone can claim to be a ‘witch’ or ‘wizard’ just by buying a Ouija Board or Tarot Cards or pretend to perform séances. Now I never owned a Ouija Board but I once bought Tarot Cards having no clue as to how to use them as a witch would, but just to see what Tarot Cards looked like. One girls’ slumber party I attended–I was in a high school B-list sorority–I witnessed (without taking part in it) a séance on a sorority member performed by another sorority member who may or may not have ever performed séances before. As I stated in the previous post, any activity I had with anything occultist stopped the night two friends and I created a mock Ouija Board and would up calling up spirits we should never have called up, scaring the crap out of all of us so that they had to walk me home over a mile around 11 p.m. and it was still winter.

In part 2, the snippets call forth much more sinister forces than mere fake channeling of some New Age ‘god.’ Anyone who studies the occult knows why occult rituals are used–for true witchcraft, and to capture souls for the forces of evil, the devil, aka Satan, which in The Prodigal Band Trilogy is referred to as Corion, a fictional false god of an ancient fictional Celtic cannibal sect that rivaled the Druids, called ‘the Crag-Dwellers’ of the mountains of Wales. Now who would want to ‘capture souls for the forces of evil’? The spiritual forces of evil, of course, and their minions on Earth whom they have given such as power, wealth, fame, fortune, and lusts in exchange for their loyalty to the Evil. And who would be victimized by these forces? Folks who get suckered into seeking advantages over others by “selling their souls to” the devil and such, which is supposedly rampant in the annals of popular culture, according to some. Rock stars, for instance, but also their fans.
