In memory of Erskine Scott Wood
GOD SPEAKS
MORE HEAVENLY THEATER
A blazoning Sun saturates the Patio with the most heavenly light. God is seen
center stage with just a towel around his waist. He is wearing Birkenstock
sandals and is seen bending over feeling his Portulaca. Peter enters along with
Jesus from stage left. Peter trips and stumbles over his right foot. He is heard
to say "Damn!" God looks up from grooming his plant.
JESUS: Father, Father, what good news we have. The earth people are praising my
name everywhere. They say I am going to return. Please Father , can I go back.
GOD: Do you mean everywhere?
JESUS: Yes everywhere! I told you , I would
sweep that little globe with your message.
GOD: But son, what about your brothers, Krishna and Bhudda and Mohamed. Have you
forgotten about them? I warned you if you told those earth people that you were
my only begotten son there would be trouble. Why, you have pitted one religion
against the other because of that stupid remark. Not only that , you said the
only way to me was through you. (laughing) What do you think they did before you
came along (more laughing... Peter is seen yawning).
The earth people have always been able to get to me. Of course when they get
to the Pearly Gate, they don't realize there are eight other gates they have to
go through. No matter. They will learn. Why do you think I call Heaven, 9 Gate
House?
Oh yes son! It's no easy road to get to me. And you didn't make it any easier
for them. You gave them all these pacifiers to put them into a soporific state
of mind. Consequently very few really know how to open the Gates. Gates! Arrrgh!
I hate fences and gates ...nonetheless... ahhhh! Jesus, I told you, you
weren't ready for this task. Thank Myself for Yoga. At least there is one safe
way left for those poor people to get to me. No Jesus , in answer to your
question, you cannot go back. There will be no Second Returning for you. You
have to grow up. You tried to break nearly every law that I made for that little
planet. My Law stands!
Now look my boy, and Peter, you can listen too. I am the Sun, and the heat it
gives and also the light that shines from it. I am the ether and every heavenly
body. I am that small planet Earth, and also everything on it. I am the laws of
gravity, of space and time. I am the good man , the bad one too, I am the deeds
they do, and also the person who receives the action of those deeds. Why boys, I
am everything. I am the doer of all actions, and also the reactions. I am every
twig and tree and all species found, whether above or below the earth and seas,
which I also am.
I am the joy one feels in love and the anger and revenge one has with hate.
It is all my Law. It is what amuses me. You know I created all of this (with a
grand sweeping motion of his arms) so that you and your brothers wouldn't be
bored... yet... all of you did not understand what I was doing for you.
Fortunately I have left a way for those poor blind people . It is not a way of
hopes and aspirations , and blind wishes. It is a way of action. It is a way to
directly open my 9 gates. Do you really think I want everyone clambering at my
door. No!, The way I left open for them is difficult, but it is sure. When those
poor souls down there realize they have to chuck you out along with your
brothers, and free themselves of all the superstition you have put into their
minds, then they may at last see the real side of Yoga, and begin to work in
earnest, without the excuses of confession and prayer. You deserve a good
spanking. Now lift your gown and bend over the patio sofa. (Jesus complies)
There is one (Slap) for your Redemption, and another (slap) for your
Confessional escape, and another (slap) for that ridiculous Resurrection trick.
I told you not to use your powers on them. Now get out of here.
(Peter is seen hugging Jesus and comforting the hefty blows he had received.)
(Peter and Jesus walk out arm in arm stage right. God is last seen, as lights
dim, throwing off his towel and taking a smooth entry into the Cobra pose.)
GOD: Aum Aum Aum shant-ung shan-tung joy-a-dung shan-tung... (the
chanting continues as stage blacks out).
The next chapters punctuate what is needed in order to "wake up." Continue
