Father Jerome's World Community Sermons

I guess I could have subtitled this Sermon, "Belaboring people who think they are something they are NOT!" Because what "triggered" this Sermon was another instance of myself "running into" yet another person who has some grandiose notion of Who and What they "are", when they actually don't have the foggiest idea of Who and What they are! And I think that I had better place that statement in context fairly fast, before I am myself belabored by those who would place my contextual perception in a reverse of that which it actually is.

Okay, to define "what the H---" I am talking about here. (And - Hey, Yes, I CAN use the H word, because it IS part and parcel OF the REALITY OF All That Is, so would you have me ignore such a reality, and not use it to define another reality, when the context DOES APPLY? I think not!) Anyway, to get back to the issue here, which is people who don't KNOW themselves and yet have some idea that they are something other than who they actually are. ("WHAT? JUST Who in the H--- do you think you ARE? GOD......or something?" NO-o-o, but let me tell you, IF you think you are God, and then you KNOW you are God......well, you probably ARE God!)

Okay, to get to the point (which may be highly controversial to some people, but merely another trivial blue movie to others[Thanks, Bill!])......but here goes! What I am belaboring, is the guy that "thinks" he is some "hi-falutin'", high-class, highly-paid "professional"......of some kind, such as a CONSTRUCTION WORKER......when ACTUALLY, what he REALLY is, is nothing more than a humble, poorly-paid (if at ALL!), mere......Rocket Scientist!

Rocket Scientist??? YES! Why NOT? IF you KNOW, Who and What you ARE......no matter WHAT it might be - EVEN a Rocket Scientist (OR God!) - AND that is what you were "born to "be"......THEN, BY GOD, BE that which you were born to BE! Don't let "society", people, others, TELL YOU, that you are something OTHER than that which you were born to "be"! (And Hey, Yes, some Rocket Scientists KNOW that that is what they "are" WHEN THEY ARE BORN, and others might take their entire lifetime to "discover" that they were born to be a Rocket Scientist! It all depends if one is "in touch" with one's Soul or not, in KNOWING Who and What one "is"!)

Okay, let me address the "backbiters" now! "WHAT in the H--- are you talking about? Don't you mean to say, and talk about, a Construction Worker who 'thinks' he is a Rocket Scientist......(implying that the person is 'bonkers' in the head)?" NO! Again, NO! Because if anyone is "bonkers in the head", it is WHOEVER is the one who does NOT "know" Who and What they ARE, whether that person be the construction worker OR the rocket scientist! But, in the case I am talking about here, it is the "construction worker" who does NOT know himSelf, and the "rocket scientist" who DOES KNOW himSelf!

So, to get the "backbiters" off my back, let me start with the "construction worker". And the reason I have put that in quotes, is because our construction worker (WHO, having the typical male attitude problem, "thinks" he is not only God's "gift" to women, but to the world as well!) is but a neophyte as a construction worker, but since, in his mind (programmed and influenced as it is by Lucifer!), Construction Workers "make the big bucks", he figures he is just as entitled to "big bucks" as anyone else, so therefore (regardless of his actual qualifications) he thinks "I AM A CONSTRUCTION WORKER", and I AM entitled to "big bucks", so I can surely "look down" on anybody else who IS NOT a "Construction Worker" OR who does NOT make the "big bucks" - NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO for a living!

This, of course, is the discrimination that comes of "playing the money game", in which the ONLY "game in town" IS a big-stakes, big bucks "game", in which YOU get rich and everyone else is a "loser" (from which comes the discrimination; i.e., anyone NOT making big bucks - as you ARE - is obviously - to YOU! - a "loser", who can't play the game and win/succeed!) This, of course, is another of Lucifer's "competition" tools (of maya - see "An Evolutionary Maturity of the Human Mind!", in which the only thing that counts is playing the game AND WINNING! (Of course, when such an "A-type" actually loses, their only recourse - of "pseudo-reality" - is to jump out of that 32nd floor window!)

Okay, if our "construction worker" is NOT making the "big bucks", but "thinks" such IS DUE to him (and NO ONE ELSE!), the obvious reason is that he is actually an alcoholic who does NOT KNOW himSelf and will NEVER "know" himSelf - AS LONG AS he continues to play Lucifer's "money games"!

SO, if our "construction worker" does NOT "know" Who and What he really is, then WHY does our "Rocket Scientist" know Who and What he is? BECAUSE, he (the Rocket Scientist) is facing, and in touch with, REALITY, and the realities of his Life, such that, however broke, penurious (OR any other status of existence, INCLUDING being more "well-off" than we have related!) or whatever he may "be"......the one thing FOR SURE, that he "knows" - IS THAT HE IS A ROCKET SCIENTIST! And a Rocket Scientist DOES what a Rocket Scientist does - implying that such a KNOWING person, DOES ACTUALLY KNOW what to "do" (with one's Life!), RATHER THAN (as in the construction worker's case) being "told what to do", OR, even worse yet, WAITING for someone (ANYONE!), to "tell that person" WHAT TO DO! (Of course, again, this is yet another one of Lucifer's "tools" - where the "programmed" person SEEKS for any and all "knowledge", information, and DIRECTION - from WITHOUT of oneself! (Remember - Socrates said, "ANYTHING one needs to KNOW......is WITHIN oneSelf - NOT outside of oneself!")

SO, our Rocket Scientist (or whoever) ACTUALLY DOES KNOW Who and What he/she IS, and is thusly (or probably) living his/her Life accordingly - and BEING that which one IS! And this applys - NO MATTER WHAT one's situation MAY BE! Meaning that, no matter how "good" or "bad" it may be (one's circumstances), IF YOU ARE living your Life AS IT WAS TO BE - THEN such IS the BEST that it could possibly be!

Because if you ARE NOT "being" WHO and WHAT you were "born to be" - then you are just not "living" - NO MATTER whether you are that construction worker OR that rocket scientist. And if you ARE "being true" TO Who you were "born to be" - THEN GOD Bless You, and, as they say nowadays, "May the Force Be With You!"

Aum, Peace, Amen!
Jerome.
