03 Getting what we want and having our way take us straight to the heart of the Wasteland. Everybody knows what they want: Their Way!

The Non-Subscribing Church of What’s Happening Now

“The Christ” is “the anointed one.” Anointed to do what? “To proclaim the Gospel (The Good News) to every sentient being!” What is the Good News? “You are all The Anointed One, anointed to do your thing for the true good of all!” We are all The Christ–The Anointed Ones!
