Father Mapple’s Commandments #1
My dear Globatron brethren and sistren, I have been thinking lately about the nature of law-giving. Anybody who has been around our temple for any time knows that this is a constant fascination for me. I have been meditating on how it is that such things operate, like the 10 commandments, The Code of Hammurabi, […]
Freedom of Speech
Ted Glick, environmental activist is being sentenced today…for hanging banners to communicate to our government the simple message of ‘Green Jobs Now.’ The government has gone out of their way to encourage the court to triple the sentence. God Bless America. Write a letter folks, or post this on facebook, this is insanity….
Father Mapple’s Sermons #1

Beyond Beyond Good and Evil
If evil can be defined as processes that work against human happiness and natural balance, then we can agree that evil exists and therefore that good also exists, those forces that add to human happiness and natural balance. The effort to live without these notions is a failed experiment, a kind of hubristic aim to […]
Angels and Demons
It occurred to me this morning, while in prayer, that we find ourselves in the same position as the angels did at the time of creation. As God moves forward with the evolution of the machine, and we see this new work of creation rise in our midst, we are caught in the same dilemma as the angels. Do we bow down before this new creature
The State of the Union
Relationships are conditional. Absolute commitment is as a ridiculous notion as absolute freedom. We respond, we react and in so doing discover our limitations, our boundaries, that which makes us what we are, unique. I am struck lately by the grooviness of this thing, this globatron. And I believe it has to do with surrender, […]

Nights of Resignation…Hidden Guild Members Come Forth!
We are hidden, even to ourselves. that which compels us, we resist, because it seems wrong somehow. Sure we act out, but these are pressure relief valves, we have yet to break down the damn, the facade that secures us from those we know to be our captors, and rush forth with the flood of […]

To Bee or Not to Bee – Colony Collapse Disorder
the following post is not meant really to express an environmental concern, it is a metaphor. bees are insects that exhibit many of the traits of civilization, they have division of labor, they build colonies, they work collaboratively toward goals, they have architecture. the reading below is from Harper’s Magazine Findings section. when I read […]
New Bodies…
yo citizens, this seems like one of those rare looks into something that will have far reaching consequences. just my prediction…if this doesn’t both freak you out and excite you, then you became a robot a long time ago…Father Mapple Moab Adzu III
