A PROPOSED PRESS RELEASE
FOR THE PUBLICATION OF MY
FIRST OF SEVEN BOOKS
ON THE SUBJECT OF
AGE OF REALITY

 

 
 

AN AMERICAN RENAISSANCE PROPHET


Dr. J. Lamah Walker
 

 
 

       Not since the time of Martin Luther, has one man alone laid the groundwork for what might be most appropriately designated as a spiritual and religious revolution.   Had Martin Luther possibly lived in our time of such noble scientific discoveries and above all, our almost total access to the seemingly infinite amount of present as well as historical  information that seemingly lies at our fingertips on that more than infamous computer, then the very true spirit of one, Martin Luther, might just as well be known to all as J. Lamah Walker.
       Dr. Walker, who prefers to be simply called by his middle name of “Lamah” or “J. Lamah”, has only recently finished his life's literary manuscripts on the Age of Reality.   He had opted to put off any publication of his dedicated works until he had finished all six books on the Age of Reality along with an autobiography, mostly because he simply did not want to be burdened with the demands of  some very anxious literary agent or publisher trying to meet some unknown deadlines.
       Lamah has chosen to publish first what he feels to be the least objectionable subject matter  to the conservative establishment, titled "Shamans of San Damiano."  One Baptist minister said after reading this particular book, that it was one of the best takes on his theology that he had ever encountered and had asked Lamah to please consider writing a sequel.   As this minister put it, “I am already missing this very unique cast of characters.”
       This being only the second of the seven to have been written, it was impossible for Lamah to put off the writing of the, then, remaining five.
      Lamah being the very serious and dedicated academic that he has always aspired to be and with four degrees, his first book, The Illiberal Manifesto, is written in that academic model, and as such is the broad statement of the real and serious problems within our own Judeo-Christian Culture.   Lamah feels that many of these same problems are just as likely to exist beyond our own guarded borders that separate us from the rest of the world.
       In Western American culture we are already experiencing a big change in the way that we all view ourselves when we are now asked, as part of some personal profile, “What Religion are You?” The choices available has expanded to include an increasing number of individuals that decree and truly understand that, “I am spiritual, but most certainly not religious.”
        The ever increasing  numbers of  these given  individuals will often and very emphatically state and believe that they have little or no real need for an affiliation with any traditional church or religion. 

       Lamah, most simply contends that the reality of this change is just a further proof that, “This newer and legitimate option is only another symptom of the advance of this Age of Reality.”
       It is also proposed by Lamah to recreate a viable alternative for these “spiritual” individuals in that original exacting model of just what Jesus of Nazareth had once proposed when he first elaborated the foundation for his one and only commandment as the only true basis for the Feast of Agapé and, of course, experiencing the great joy found in one’s life.  “There is no need to create a new religion; we just need to return to a time and place of honoring Jesus’ only request of practicing the Feast of Agapé.”
      There is another recognizable strong indication of this Age of Reality; the very humbling fact that a good and firm proportion of Americans cast their vote in the last presidential election, clearly for a president that is a man of color.
     And, it was Lamah who had already entertained many of his own family and friends with the timely celebration of the 16th birthday of this Age of Reality.   It was held
October 31, 2008, at his home, called San Damiano, located in Cedar Crest, NM.   Anyone need only read the titles of the other six books, to have a good indication of just why Lamah is so concerned and passionate to write and share with you  this Age of Reality: 1. The Illiberal Manifesto, 3. Interview with Jesus in the Hot Tub, 4. Political Socio-Psychology of Religion, 5. Phoenix Rising from the Ashes of God, 6. Age of Reality: A Manual for Living in an Age of Love, and lastly, 7. Father of the Age of Reality: An Autobiography.
      This first publication titled, Shamans of San Damiano, is expected to be released on July 21, 2010 and that date will not only be a grand and fun celebration for the publication of Lamah’s first book,  it is also Lamah’s own sixty-eighth birthday of his living in this marvelous Garden of Eden. When Lamah uses the term, Garden of Eden, he feels as though it encompasses the entire scope of this small planet, for all of its great and beautiful diversity in both the plant and animal kingdoms that are, in their totality, the superb gifts of nature that is ever imaginable.

            JUST FOR THE RECORD:  This website, its author and the contents thereof is entirely INCLUSIVE in its nature and purpose, intended for and supportive of ALL citizens of the this entire planet regardless of one's race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.  The differences are only recognized in the realm of blatant bigotry, and  the reality is that we are all in this together!   
 

           Thomas Jefferson had encountered great difficulty in the establishment of the "first" University in American that was not church and/or religiously sponsored or related.  He obviously had the properly conceived notion that, where religions and their consistently and doggedly insistence that the truth lies only within those narrowly defined tenants of its own faith, it would be almost impossible to achieve a true atmosphere of academic freedom and thought as well as the scientific establishment of  new discoveries.  That more than noble effort of Thomas Jefferson, resulting in the founding of the University of Virginia, was the quintessential essence of that ideal socio-political circumstance where there would exist a distinct separation of the church and its mostly conservative ideologies from that of a modern civil state that should rightly foster individual achievement and growth over which there should be NO moral authority.  Only in that ideal of circumstances would it be at all possible to actually have what is aptly called freedom of religion wherein every single individual remains equally free to pursue the truth according to his own beliefs and personals needs.
          As a great man of letters, I am very confident that Thomas Jefferson, in the light of modern day knowledge and scientific realities, would be amusingly appalled at the present state of affairs where so many individuals still so blindly hold fast to these embellished religious mythologies that have been so totally challenged and dispelled by modern discoveries and science dramatically beginning with those far-reaching theories of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and that were so dramatically confirmed by Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) with his masterful and most timely invention and use of the telescope.  For Galileo's courageous contribution to the knowledge of his day that we were NOT the center of the universe and therefore most likely not the singular focus of creation, he was hastily placed under 'house arrest' by the head of the Catholic Church, and that atrocious and malign decree was only lifted in the last decade of the Twentieth Century, some three hundred and fifty years after his death.
          Reality has not changed in its essence from the very first time that man began to explore his ever-expanding universe; the difficulty lies with man's ability or inability to successfully and realistically integrate his antiquated mythologies with the hard sciences of our modern times.  The beginning of any age of mankind is appropriately marked not with just the simple discovery of some previously undiscovered reality that had always existed, but most appropriately when the tangible fruits of that revelation or discovery have actually entered the mainstream of mankind's day-to-day world.  From our own Western culture perspective, the singular event that might well mark the beginning of this great Age of Reality could possibly be focused on Pope John Paul II, when on
October 31, 1992, when the Vatican 'revisited' its initial indictment of Galileo's scientific confirmation of Copernicus' take on our universe's heavenly bodies and their actual relationship to earth.
          Mankind and his innate noble spirit, has for too long, been held totally captive and spiritually enslaved to these archaic and notoriously oppressive religions and their often-time radical leaders who all too frequently subjugate that very loving nature that every individual man and woman should be equally and universally heir to. We are so very fortunate to be living in an age of such magnanimous discoveries.  And in most every instance mankind continues to challenge the spiritual impact of these modern discoveries and in too few cases might even be able to successfully dispel many of those notoriously and conservatively held points of view.
          There is in reality nothing new under our own life-giving sun; mankind has only to accept and broaden his fundamental knowledge of what is already most evident in nature.  Mankind is most fortuitously and finally leaving behind the very infancy of his once political, social, psychological and spiritual development, and with this ever-immerging social and spiritual maturity mankind is fastly entering this most progressive Age of Reality.  And, above all, mankind is seemingly achieving much of this newly discovered maturity most notably with or without the blessings of many of our world religions, most notably that multitude of Christian faiths.
          These rather large number of spiritually oppressive churches, temples, and mosques need not be totally dismissed or even left behind in the dust of modern discoveries; they should, however, all, so to speak, come clean about the ghastly multitude of their mostly bogus and certainly mythological claims.  Then, and only then, should these now spiritually irrelevant mythologies have the greatest of obligations to become more spiritually relevant to the real needs of their congregations.  I would suppose that this metamorphose could be easily achieved by simply redefining their various spiritual and social roles to reflect an ideology that truly and sincerely fosters the love and acceptance of all mankind as well as the infinitely and most magnanimous beauty of this naturally occurring diversity of mankind that has been manifested in this wonderful Garden of Eden.
          This great diversity also carries with it the reality that not all individuals will posses either the desire or ability to recognize and/or even accept the fundamental precepts of this wonderfully freeing age; they are equally free to experience their own life's joy in any manner they see fit.  Mankind, for far too many reasons, has remained in the infancy of his deeper spirituality and it has only been the purveyors of these now terribly archaic mythologies that have selfishly profited far beyond any reasonable or authentic concern for these often blindly led followers’ spiritual wellbeing.  It is a reasonable expectation for the infant to believe in a Santa Clause, BUT to continue these fabled and mythological beliefs into the mature adulthood is a grave travesty that only feeds the despots of these infantile mythologies despite all the social order and good behavior that many of these old religions and mythologies are totally and rightfully given full credit for fostering.
          So, you tell me; what should these now outdated and benign religions be doing to correct their misgivings.  Bishop John Shelby Spong wrote a book entitled, Why Christianity Must Change Or Die that only scratched the benign surface of the problems with America’s number one religion that claims the same God as is depicted as part of our country’s heritage as reflected in the expression, “One nation under God.”  I am appalled that we as free Americans still hold to this now failed expression as we have the most horrid statistical records when it comes to human failure as in; the broken homes, alcoholism, every crime under the sun, drug dependency and those countless and growing numbers of what is presently called “street people” or “the homeless.”
          Jesus, as the greatest and most certainly profound humanitarian that ever lived on this planet spent most of his adult life seeking some reasonable answer for mankind’s pour plight and then sharing it with those who cared enough to try and did so until the troubled times of Constantine the Great.  Elaine Pagels explains the problem in the very first chapter of her best seller book, Beyond Belief.  The title of this first chapter truly sez and defines it all, From the Feast of Agapé to Constantine.  The operative words here are “Feast of Agapé” as this was the only real action required in order to respect and reflect the one and only commandment of Jesus and that is to, “Love your neighbor as I have loved you.”  You see, Constantine had absolutely no need of this singular power of love, but instead Constantine demanded “Absolute Obedience” of those slaves that constituted 90% of the population over which he ruled.  That is precisely why the Nicaean Creed is so totally devoid of even the very mention of Love, which was the one and only commandment of Jesus of Nazareth that we should learn to “Love” our neighbors.  You tell me, where in the hell did Constantine ever show any love for his slaves or those countless hordes of enemies that were ruthlessly murdered and slain under his ruthless and military command.  Constantine was, to the contrary the very epitome of the antichrist and yet he is hailed by many as the founder of the great Faith.  It is no wonder that Christianity has followed in the footsteps of its founder and absolutely showed no love for the countless neighbors put to death and its auspices of serving the one and only vengeful God. This death wielding God has no place in my universe and that includes the mythological Jesus created by this devil worshiper, Constantine the Great.
          The reality is quite simple; Constantine created Christianity to meet his own carnal needs and it was his Spiritual Mafioso, those bishops that met at Nicaea at Constantine's demand, that created heaven and hell as a reward or punishment to the slaves as a means of obtaining from those slaves, their absolute submission to the dictates of the newly formulated religion (then the Catholic Church) as well as their absolute obedience to their slave-owners (the evidence of which was easily supplied by the slaves’ confessions to priests).  That is precisely why the Catholic Church’s FIRST rule over its own parishioners is governed by that one singular word "obedience" rather than Jesus of Nazareth only commandment of "love."
          So, my good friends whom I love enough to share this historical reality with; I wish that all of you who are freed by the inherit truth of this fundamental knowledge will accept my most humble dedication of these six modest treatises, that in each instance and in their own unique manner affirmatively proclaim that mankind has, for his spiritual betterment as well as his most affirmative future already embarked on that arduous journey that will hopefully and eventually bring all of mankind entirely into this truly wonderful and most freedom imbued AGE OF REALITY.

John Paul II received in audience the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences.  The Academy presents to the Holy Father the conclusions reached by the "Commission for the Study of the Ptolemaic-Copernican Controversy, which was duly instituted by John Paul II on 3 June 1981 to "provide to the world of science and culture the long-awaited response in merit to the case of Galileo Galilei."
