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!

Why All of My Novels Contain Spirit-Being Characters, Fictitious or Not

Allow me to sum up the answer to this ‘why’ question in one simple sentence: My novels contain ‘spirit-beings,’ whether angels or demons or other spirit-beings, because the theme of ‘Good vs. Evil’ is paramount in my novels. That is, ‘the Creator’ (aka God) and His angels and a part-human/part spirit being battling against the satanic character Corion and his demons (and those evil human characters that allow the evil to control them for power and money and control over Earth) for the souls of my prodigal band characters, their women, and more.

If one is going to write a novel based on ‘good vs. evil,’ spirit-beings (in my opinion) must be included. The beings in question likely depend on the religion themed in the novel. Any Christian-oriented novel likely contains at least a mention of and various Bible quotes by Christ, while some (The Shack for instance) contain various angelic characters.

Real World Evil Must Be Exposed, and Fiction is a Good Way to Expose It

I realize I haven’t posted in three weeks while I have been working on completing The Murder Rule, Part Three, and hopefully, this part will complete the novel. But in all three parts, I expose the evil in this world, and feel I must with Divine guidance.

Part One concerns the evil within the music (and also the entire entertainment) industry, from rock to rap and hip hop, ending in the mid-2000s. Part Two concerns the evil within cults that are also connected to the music industry, and how a fan/roadie of the prodigal band got ensnared in them, both New Age and so-called ‘Christian.’ Part Three concerns the evil at ‘the top,’ the rulers of this world, spiritual and physical. In all three cases, the main ‘good guy’ characters—a rock star, a fan-roadie, and a rock band manager descended from aristocracy—are either murdered or threatened with murder. And others affiliated with these characters are also either murdered or threatened with murder. Why murder? Because they refuse to ‘toe the line’ of the evil forces, that’s why.

As to murdered rock stars, this post explains it, and folks like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden were murdered for a reason. As to members of religious cults being murdered just because, I’m sure you’ve heard of a guy named Jim Jones or Charles Manson, both of whom considered themselves as ‘gods’ so-to-speak (plus Manson was also tied to Scientology and the Process Church). And I’m sure you’ve heard or read about various national or world leaders being whacked because in one way or another they would not ‘toe the line’—JFK (who tried to get the US out of the Federal Reserve dollar system with ‘United States Notes’), MLK (who proclaimed the truth that content of character outweighs skin color…now try convince BLM of that these days, or the rest of the ‘woke’ crowd!), a couple of African leaders (who refused the ‘covid vaccines’ for their people), Gandhi (for removing India from British rule, and other reasons relating to the separation of Pakistan from India), the final Czar of Russia (as well as his family, for opposing Bolshevik rule), Yitzak Rabin (Israeli Prime Minister who may have tried to end hostilities with Yassir Arafat’s PLO but the true rulers of Israel wouldn’t put up with that ‘nonsense,’ and, IMHO, Israel’s been cursed ever since, and their new govt. of far-right and religious supremacists wanting a ‘final solution’ to the Palestinian problem…well, millions of Israelis are protesting their own government! And wasn’t good ol’ Benny the Yahoo indicted for criminal activity? Hmmmm….) I’d be here all day trying to name all the world and national leaders either murdered or threatened with murder for not toeing (or is it towing?) the ’new world order’ agenda, past and present.

And, while I am a true believer in Christ and am ‘in the world, but not of the world’ spiritually, I am still here physically, and part of my ‘mission of God’ is to expose the evil in this world, whether it is in the music industry or in all industries! Big Tech. Big Pharma. Big Banking. The whole wokester narrative…. Because spiritually and physically, Satan must be defeated!

Besides, some of the greatest fiction novelists in history, from Alexander Solzhenitzyn to George Orwell to Aldous Huxley to the author of Hunger Games and more have exposed political and other forms of evil that exist today and always. So why shouldn’t I?

Hopefully, the next The Murder Rule snippet post will be in early March. Cheers!

Random Trilogy Snippets, Part Four: The Biggest Battle is Spiritual (Part Four)

Welcome to the fourth The Prodigal Band Trilogy snippet post dealing with spiritual battles between the forces of good vs. evil, and between good or evil forces and the characters, notably the band members. This post isn’t really a spiritual ‘battle,’ though this action, where the Tooters, angels of ‘the Almighty,’ speak directly to each member of the prodigal band Sound Unltd—simultaneously—brings about a battle of sorts later! And what these angels speak is each band member’s ‘mission of God’ that the ‘witch’ of the Hovels, at the behest of the Tooters, informed the band about at a recent meeting, which took place across from the Tooters statue in Victoria Park in the band’s home city of Walltown, early June, 2000.

For she had already instructed the band leader Jack as well as drummer Tom that the band must perform at the upcoming Walltown Music and Trade Festival that would take place July 15-16, as headliners. In other words, the band had roughly six weeks to get the festival set-ups ready for hundreds of thousands of festival goers, including setting up bleachers on either side of the park as well as large video screens and television and recording crews—and the band would pay the entire costs of the festival, and would perform for free!

Random Trilogy Snippets, Part Four: The Biggest Battle is Spiritual (Part Two)

To heck with waiting until next week to post this ‘spiritual battle’ part two, The Prodigal Band Trilogy, snippet post. While looking through the novel for snippets relating to spiritual battles between spirit entities or between the band characters and these entities, I found a long snippet that shows why one spiritual side or the other cannot always carry out their assigned task of winning over the people (real or fictional) the spirits are supposed to win over. In other words, there are spiritual battles among the group of people themselves, which hamper the spirit forces’ tasks. In the entire trilogy, it just might be the best example of this spiritual ‘tug-of-war’ among the band characters. All of them—singer Erik, drummer Tom, guitarist-band leader Jack, guitarist-producer Mick, bassist Keith, and keyboard-synthist Bryan—are featured. The long snippet is within Chapter Eight of Battle of the Band.

Having just completed a special ‘World Unity Day’ concert in San Antonio, Texas, the two main song composers, Erik (lyrics) and Jack (music) fall asleep in a limo headed to Houston for another gig as well as an appointment at a recording studio to track a new song. While asleep, the satanic character Corion’s minions called the Demons (Gold, Silver, Bronze) ‘give’ the two a new song, not only to be recorded, but to ‘seal the band’s oath’ to the evil as part of the band’s ‘pact’ with Corion explained early in this first novel of the trilogy. Later that morning the song is recorded, but questions arise as to the origin of the song, a song which has an historical context for both the good and evil sides. The song is called “Song of the Demons” (and I will not post the lyric words in this snippet). Eventually, the six discuss the ‘why’ of being ‘given’ a song ‘of demons’ when one of them brings up a previous event as the band several years before began their nationwide contest-winning tour, when Jack ‘prayed’ for success. Then drummer Tom, the ‘channeler’ of spirits within his entourage of new agers, arranges to channel the spirits to find out the truth of this situation. Also mentioned in the snippet are the Tooters, the good angels opposing Corion and his Demons.

Random Trilogy Snippets, Part Four: The Biggest Battle is Spiritual (Part One)

Folks, I called my first novel in The Prodigal Band Trilogy ‘Battle of the Band’ for a reason. Not because there are contests called ‘Battle of the Bands.’ But because the ‘battle’ the prodigal band Sound Unltd undergoes is truly a spiritual battle whereby the spiritual forces of good vs. evil wage war to get this band on their sides—while the evil side ‘wins’ the band early, rewarding the band with fame and fortune as long as the band complies with the will of the evil side, the ‘war’ is won by the forces of good: the Creator, the angels known as the Tooters, and the human/spirit being, the ‘witch’ of the Hovels aka Morwenna as the band undergoes their assigned ‘missions of God’ and accepts Christ as Savior.

This snippet set on the spiritual battle features the battles between the Tooters and the satanic character Corion and his Demons (Gold, Silver, Bronze) along with two evil characters possessed by the evil, fake healer and new age cult leader Cole Blessing and his replacement, Mark Besst. The snippets are short. The first one is from Chapter Eight of Battle of the Band; the middle ones follow each other and are within the final chapter of The Prophesied Band, the final two are from Chapter Seventeen of The Prodigal Band. Some of these snippets are featured in previous snippet posts, such as https://omegabooksnet.com/2019/10/30/snippet-of-the-prodigal-band-trilogy-spiritual/
