(Journey in a Broken World)
Article by Marc Aupiais
One is often even unknowingly fascinated by the strange odd workings of spies, or saboteurs- imagination has so enjoyed exploring the concept- walking, swimming, driving, flying, crawling, running, entering into a place- and knowing you will destroy it- speaking with people, being with them- knowing you will directly or indirectly destroy some part of them... Seeing an area, a small part of observed "reality", and beyond all doubt knowing it soon will be nothing where there appeared something, knowing you will be sure soon that it is no longer something to affect others with the powers of those within it.
The spy does not too deeply, nor too addictively attack himself with the culture of another, nor connect with too primitively- those he spies on. Rather- he is entrenched cleverly, based within, and working either within his self, or his culture. It is not the strength of this culture alone, which keeps him powered in his inhumane task- but rather a deeper "truth" he perhaps only seems to perceive within. Whether monetary, or social, or economic gain- or some thing which enables him to resist every human prompting of those he has subtly been sent to destroy.
Christians also are much like saboteurs. They have been sent into the area of a military base, a base once entirely God's. This base is the world, and in this nation we since have been tasked with the destruction of untruth, and of a culture with no basis. What we attack is not cultures, whirlwinds based on national identity, which oft are good, or keep parts and manifestations of good and commonality but rather we are tasked with destroying small aspects of these or other societal trends... illusions of the enemy, which at the core are prompted to appear- in that form of what at first seems as though it were culture, but has nothing to do with the core of a culture.
We so often think the tornado, or great storm has a source, or perhaps an eye- yet here the source is an illusion created by the tornado itself, it is not the sun as with natural storms.
Truth itself also creates a ghostly affect on all around- a culture so to speak- which bends and molds, and moves all around it- twisting, turning, or watering with growth, and small gusts of wind. Strong culture, a child of shared truths, or at least a hidden undercurrent of potent culture should emerge within strong truths.
When culture emerges without a potent truth to manifest- we know that the culture- left uncontrolled is weak to the use of it by evil in its own powers. Culture must be based in common truth- and truth must hold the culture together. When a culture is otherwise- it is but an illusion of circumstances- a parasite which has hooked into what could have been culture and twisted it just enough to cause it to be touchable by evil.
The proof of the Catholic culture- of our oneness about truth- is that for at last, and I say last, not least- in a more potent skirmish than many- this one hundred years of almost a epic of battle against a modern enemy spawned of illusions' battle mills... It has been under attack on the basis, and level of culture- but with truth as her foundation- culture cannot destroy our faith. Culture often is the effect those following truth or falsehood strongly have on those around them- in that often from the essence of the Catholic Culture- the reach of the Holy mother church itself extends vine-like limbs, trickling with water, and danger- which themselves affect change. That is to say that truth manifest- in culture itself has great effect on all that surround this power. Truth itself can only truly control those who believe it- but culture- the effect of truth extends beyond this.
Perhaps this is what we mean when we say there is salvation beyond the visible church- that the unseen, and seen effects of church on world- often causes surroundings which are beneficial to salvation... and cause others to share within the soul itself of mother church- even as many cannot see this hidden, latent effect of grace.
The Catholic must not become too attached to that enemy which we must kill- and so we must not gain any true love for the substance and nature, and actings of sin- this is deadly- and at the moment of deathblow- may cause one not to strike- may cause one to die for the sake of weakness- as one is consumed and loses all similarity to truth- our emblem and our source, to whom we must connect.
Truly- we must ponder what natural desire is being distorted when we feel desires of sin acting externally to our reason, but strongly against our life, and embrace this other true, undistorted feeling which evil has tried to use as a host- sinking into it like a diver, or otter, or water creature which silently dives within a pool of warm water.
Likewise- a stranger and a spy- listens carefully- and is prudent with every action- weighing exactly what is required- and always is taking to acting when the moment seems most opportune.
It is foolish to act too fast or too slow, and often an almost neutral tone is all that is needed- but other times one must be utterly offensive, or defensive- yet this is oft in actions. An understanding of self is needed in this- a understanding of how it is God communicates with us- is a requirement, and the purer the soul- the more potent this voice of silence becomes.
In these hundred years we have been foolish carpenters, and boat-makers, who forgot to mold the boat as the ancients did. When the spy foundation is attacked via culture- we must reply not only in truth, but in culture, in the good venom of true actions- the results of our world-view, and that which oft prepares the ground for the planting of truth, and maintains these delicate conditions enough to allow the plant to grow. We should not be passive- but the way to conquer the danger we lie within- can only be done through offensive thrusts of manifestations of truths- through constantly being just slightly different- or much different- so as to be an emblem against which the enemy cannot stand- strong in culture- and strong on our diet of truth and sacrament.
We must always remember- this world will not last- and to love what is passing it to weaken us in the moment of the strike. We must not adopt the ways of our enemies- but rather cause them through strong culture to adopt ours. This way we are able to magically conjure the illusion of those we know- into firm reality- and conduction of God. A large rock is oft avoided by waves which circle it- and behind it is still, even protected water- we must not be too meek- but powerful- for like a lighthouse, or as a person standing against the oncoming crowd- should we back away- we will be knocked down- and hardly accounted for- but should we stand firm- we should remain so with perseverance.
Often victory is achieved in a neutral force- the invisible tentacles of truth working through the soul which hears, and has learned to listen through the veil of silence- and understands the secretly not too volatile flow of life- which manifests in observed reality. To understand one's own desires- and their source, and the desires which mesh together to form the pattern desire we see- is to understand what our emotions- our warning systems are telling us. It is also to understand the emotions of those we come into contact with better. To focus on the things this world has to offer as its false culture desires us to view them- is to have lost and died already. To focus, and manifest, through the lowering of our souls within- illustriously on the flow and powers emanating from the depths of truth, and splashes of effect- of the true invisible vital force of truth- is to live.
Those who take things into the truth- rather than trying to view the true source of that outside of the true fold- are attempting to mix the effects of truth with the substance of evil and delusion, which does not exist. It is the allowance of this which has so crippled much of the church in the modern world- which largely is spurred along not by reason and logic- but by the dying effects of the core we once held strong. To take something into truth- one must make it true- and that is to say that from within truth- the arms of truth must be extended- so as to alter lies enough that they cease to be lies- so that what is brought into truth is from truth, for it holds resonance with truth.
To hold strong against the modernist onslaught- the church must not adapt as the world adapts, as illusion so easily does- but rather must once again explore her founding truths and prove her stance to herself with reason and truth- and then emanate this truth through culture- and utter boldness and strength- for the tentacles, and tides of a culture near destroyed are increasingly weak and undefined. We must once again connect with the moon which formed the tides, and do so in all clarity, and fullness of truth- and that is when once again we will lap up the rocks of the sand- and cover the small islands of rebellion once again with the waters of truth- which shall truly suffocate a culture which does not exist.
Indeed- to match the modern world, we must grow our own roots and branches- and not fall weakly into substituting false hope, or adaption that not of our vine. Rather- we must see the goodness of the world, and stare into the misty glass of truth, and make out the form which is so badly reflected within the outside world, and call this true form to life once again- knowing that what we saw outside in not proportionate, nor of us, and therefore in its own could damage our immune system. Rather- we must look for our own version of every tool outside of the truth. We must contact our own craftsmen, and craft the truer and better form of strategy and tool- designed andd crafted truly since the beginning of time itself.

Journey in a Broken World- What can true love be?
(Journey in a Broken World)
Article by Marc Aupiais
Some have said that true love is insanity- that one who loves is utterly insane- but my view of the topic is as utterly different from this view, even to the very extent that this view is infinitely wrong.
Love is not insanity- rather an illusion we think to be love is.
Love is the very nature of Reality, our Mediator of life- God. To love is to act justly, and sanely- to treat things as they truly are. True love is not an emotion- nor an evolutionary reaction- in fact it has very little to do with these.
True love is not about how another feels about one, we do not stand at the borders of nations to determine whether or not to love, or be hostile- in fact- to truly love a person often means to be in the eyes of the world, what some may believe to be utterly hostile to them- even to destroy them in a blizzard of obstacles and what to the world may seem hatred. Our prototype- God for instance threatens to destroy all who do not obey sanity- he himself has given us a warning shot, killing all but eight persons in the ancient world. True love cares for the state of body and soul, and to quote a dear friend, sometimes entails begging for forgiveness, and this can be painful- yet forgiveness and sorrow at wrong truly allows such resonance between two in love- and truly- resonance is damaged by sin- and so God himself, and we also- sometimes must seem cruel to those we love- even as it is for their goodness, or for goodness itself. There is no excuse of course for unjust cruelty, or disrespecting another's basic dignity.
So let us look at the emotion we call love- it is like flying without one's stomach, or diving into nothingness, or looking into the unknown. This is to say that the person in love considers loss of the one they love to be a danger- and would be hurt in this. What of the joy of seeing one we love, or of empathy- that we like to share views, or do similar things to these wondrous people. Like synchronizing clocks, we often synchronise views with our loved ones, as though careful to avoid conflict within this. More than that- on seeing them we feel great joy- sadly- this joy is largely born out of fear. We fear losing them- and this is why we do all of these things, whatever we call them.
Now- love also has something to do with the resonance of souls, yes we often fall deeply into chasms of hope and joy- to love one like us for fear of loss, but this is not what I now speak so gently and softly and briefly on. To see a soul one loves is to see a soul in resonance of God- what is appealing to one is that which seems to much like what our perfection is. We so love our perfections- the mauve, or the lightly wooden skin, or the pureness of white, and the smoothness of wonderful snow-like complexion. In our love we seek that which is most healthy- most likely to survive- best reflecting the being in which we exist, yet I do not even glance at this as I now speak.
I have said that true love takes the form of justice- what we call cruelty, or kindness or mercy, or pain- often is a result of love, whether proportionate or not- seen acting in but one situation where we give it other names.
Some in one of our neighbouring fields believe that the source of every emotion is eventually love- and that mental issues often come from the ripples on the top of this body whose body's form, and depth we have yet to measure.
So what is love- is it shared moments of great joy, or is it the actings of desire and joy, or rather something deeper- a great deep well of life and death within. Truly, to love another is to firmly resonate God within our small receiving soul so strongly- yet the insanity we speak of in love- comes when one loves with wrong proportion- and for this does not pay justice to others, nor to reason and truth- who should be married to this love, in a ceremony of great effect, and wonderment.
Without love- it is said we cannot live- yet to me- life and love are the same thing. Love is the deepest nature of life- the perfection of Its nature, and actings.
If love is the nature of life itself- and our souls are that which resonate the Perfection of Life- God, however imperfectly into the animation of the physical form- which itself resonates better or worse this life- then to truly love may well be to recognize a soul which resonates with a frequency one with our own.
I believe in the soul mate, in the rib removed from my complacency- that I may find it in another. I believe this because- so often we sense the soul of another- we feel a presence, and look, and glance, and see, even cannot pull away as we are sucked into the memorisation of danger- and note how we always glance as they enter a room- and always seem to feel a tug to where they now situate themselves.
Truly- the soul mate is one with a soul similar to ours, who was designed for one like ourselves, or adapted to be our mate. This is perhaps why the sacred text says- "And the two shall become one"- for our souls may not seem to resonate the one we are meant to find, we may have damaged them- our hurt them- so that the resonance is no longer clear- and this is why- for the sake of a sacrament- God must sometimes strengthen the resonance between souls. Truly- in any true marriage of this form- even a strong bond of soul must often be strengthened- so that the heart feels the pull whether or not we knowingly feel it, or ignore this true effect. Truly- in the true marriage- we are made one- through resonance of the waves of self.
This is also why it is better to marry one endowed with grace- for one endowed with grace has a healthy soul- and the healthier the soul, and the more sane the soul- the more defined, and strong the connecting force- the greater the envelope of truth which combines one to another- and with the aid of angels, and guardians- combines us and maintains us in the Holy Sacrament.
Imagine a lady standing in an icy wasteland- surrounded by evergreen forests, as a small stream trickles past the snow, from a warm mountain source. She stands by a cabin- alone, and lonesome, but not lonely, as she stares into the distance, hoping, longing for something unseen to others.
The reason we are so concerned for all those we love- is that it is good for our souls to resonate- and the healthier others souls- the more joy our soul feels as they also become more like us, and as our own song is strengthened on the winds of bliss, and sorrow, and as the chords we play in love of God are resonated, and echoed in those around.
We love to dance with the souls of others- and it is healthy even to dance around unhealthy souls- for even in small amounts- we heal them if their dance is not too askew.
We love to resonate the soul of another- and this is why man is made for marriage- unlike the animals- he is composite- of aeviernal and temporary, and not simply a mix of temporary soul and form, he, everlasting is soul, and he is body, which also one day will be everlasting- and the body's actions affect the soul- so that certain actions tune the Melody of our souls in such a way- that they can put it off- and destroy it's sustaining connection with Truth, or else cause it to mould, and change ever more defined.
The greater the truth we simply manifest- the more powerful the ability of the soul, and the soul can only hold the truth- the life, the grace- it is renovated to hold. The more we follow the tune of truth- like balloons blown up, or plastic bags which expand in the wind- the greater our capacity to sing with the invisible winds of truth.
Marriage- in the truest perfection of it- is mimicry of the very relations of the Father and the Son, who are love, and through their love does subtly, and for all eternity- form the Holy Spirit. And marriage and family also is the mimicry of the relations of these three persons who are one.
The family is such a manifestation of the basis of our universe- that nature has endowed us with such strong bonds within. Love's acting in marriage gives such joy because certain acts are such manifestations of God's perfect unity- that God wants man to take joy in these. When representing a book, those who see a play based on it can either be pleased or angry, even furious- if it is misrepresented. Marital love is meant for marriage, and seeking sexual pleasure apart from marriage, the actings of just love, which is unitive, and the chance of creating a child, or openness to this- is like misrepresenting the relationship of the Divine Triune God, who we name as The Holy Trinity. It is to defame God through actions- no wonder God, whose nature is love, that is to say that truth manifests itself in love- should for the sake of this truth break the connection between offenders and their soul's life's source- God.
And so true love- and justice are actings of truth, are us echoing the events our souls do observe and intuition is able to sense, and faith does clarify- and refine to form.
True love does make one fly beyond all else- as our form does better move into position- so as to fly like a butterfly, leaves, or flowers, or dust, or ashes- on the wind or stream of cool life- which is God, our Basis, Mediator of Existence and Creator.

Pope Benedict XVI- Pius XII did all that was reasonable- and that was viable to protect the Jews, and all Persecuted during Second World War!
(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. CathNews 10/10/08)
Commentary by Marc Aupiais
After attacks on the purity of Pope Pius XII, by a Jewish speaker invited as the first non-Christian to be officially invited to attend and speak at a Catholic Synod in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI has defended his World War Two Counterpart- saying that the pope of the time did all he possibly could to stop, and limit the persecution of Jews in the Second World War. Pius XII risked his own life by staying in the Vatican during the occupation- despite chances to move. He did so- because the Vatican, like every other Catholic group- under the direct command of Pius XII, and directly against usual protocol- not only harbored Catholics during the war- but also people of every sort, color and creed.
Pius XII was, and has been proven time and again as a complete hero- and a compassionate man- who would do aside with usual preferences, or his own image to do right- whether he had to do it secretly or publicly. Benedict has defended this great man who so adequately faced such a delicate era in history- and risked much in attempts to reach out to others with hope- and save them from oppression. Attacking this man serves only to gain political reason- whether to attack the Catholic church, or else to further the cause of a minority. The Jewish speaker also asked for more support of Israel.
The church clearly expected the Jewish speaker to give his views, and allowed it anyway- just as David allowed his critics to speak. The importance of him being invited, along with persons from every corner of the Valid Christian World- is that the church is universal- and while others may not have its perfect, balanced truth- they still have human dignity- and human nature- what good there is in the world must be preserved and refined- especially by support of others who think like us.
This does not mean we must ever let the good or what we believe so to be defamed without argument- clarification, and if necessary- opposition. Benedict XVI- once again proves the perfection of his Ecumenism, setting an example for the rest of the world.

Journey in a Broken World:Watching theatre, and the mass
(Journey in a Broken World)
Article by Marc Aupiais
I'm still wearing my suit. This evening I went to an evening at Wits, a Theater evening where an acquaintance was to sing. Wits is the nickname of The University of The Witwaterssrand. The English being "White Water's" and something.
The performance was interesting- I of course viewed a noisy group behind me with a glance every now and then to quiet down out of respect. Notice how the audience is quiet while the singers sing or actors act- we have such respect for actors and actresses, we wear suits, or casual clothes that aren't quite so casual- and observe customs- how much more should we be so- when watching as God warps time- so that we witness again his crucifixion in absolute clarity and reality- the intuitive sense angels and saints around them as the sensitive watch this event- and our heart beats faster as we rise for communion.
We should be enthralled- God calls the mass a mystery- what we should not forget is the utter utterness of what we are present at and what all loyalty must be amazed by is the invisible truth of what occurs. For this we do not talk, nor focus on banal things, we do not clap, we should not take communion on the hand, but on the tongue- as Mother Church asks us to, we do not hold hands in the our father- we are watching someone we love die- there is a place for community- it is called the sign of peace. We are watching someone die for us- and eating their living flesh- let us respect the occasion- dress appropriately- and certainly not be embarrassed to show the right body language. It is the disrespectful in theater, in mass, and those who do not treat situations as one prudently should- who show up their ignorance, and banal actions, or simply negligence, or unknowingness. Sacrilege is called such- because it is not obvious to the intuitively challenged.
What we witness is bread and wine no longer existing, but appearing to- and in intuition we know- it is body, blood, soul and divinity we are feasting on- of a living being.
Let us respect him who lets us eat him- let us respect God in the mass!

I'm still wearing my suit. This evening I went to an evening at Wits, a Theater evening where an acquaintance was to sing. Wits is the nickname of The University of The Witwaterssrand. The English being "White Water's" and something.
The performance was interesting- I of course viewed a noisy group behind me with a glance every now and then to quiet down out of respect. Notice how the audience is quiet while the singers sing or actors act- we have such respect for actors and actresses, we wear suits, or casual clothes that aren't quite so casual- and observe customs- how much more should we be so- when watching as God warps time- so that we witness again his crucifixion in absolute clarity and reality- the intuitive sense angels and saints around them as the sensitive watch this event- and our heart beats faster as we rise for communion.

New SA "President" won't change policies "that work" (actual quote "a Policy that works")
(Scripturelink Voters Guide; Agenzia Fides 26/9/2008)
Article by Marc Aupiais
On Friday- Agenzia Fides Reports- South Africa's new President acknowledged the volatility of the global economy and has stated he won't change policies he sees to be working. He has insured the re-installation of Trevor Manuel, who recently resigned, and then had a change of heart, perhaps unrelated, but after a preview of economic fallout.
The New President recently replaced controversial previously health minister Manto, who is famous for associations with people claiming to cure aids with vitamins. Despite her fame for claims involving HIV and Lemons, the ANC has maintained her as Minister of the Presidency (Agenzia Fides 26/9/2008).
Agenzia Fides claims that analysts say that the ANC has over this ten year term- lost 30% of their voting public.

Peter and the sheet! What infallibility means- literally speaking!
(Catholic Watchdog South Africa; c.f. Karl Keating Newsletter sept 23)
Article by Marc Aupiais
Saint Peter is Famous for being told to eat unclean food on a sheet- by God- and being told he was wrong to call it unclean.
The notable thing is not that God calls all unclean- or clean- he doesn't- acts 15 proves this- but that he shall determine that- not Peter- but Peter's authority in this is instantly accepted by all the important Christians he speaks with on this.
Karls point, unlike my own- is not on Peter though- but his belief that Cornellius has a more important conversion than that of Saint Paul- as he opened the way for us Gentiles to receive Christ! The fulfillment of Isaac's prophesy- when he appears to lie to Abraham about being firstborn!
