This is me and what I am...

For fear of being accused of being like many modern Pharisaical Christians; for fear of being the splinter recongizer in ignorance of my own beam, I will take the next few blogs to give my story. I write against the real slave morality of 'will to power' relativism, not merely as accuser but as its victim. I was once a slave, but with Christ and His Church, I have begun the journey toward freedom.

In contemplating writing about myself a few flurries went through my head. 1) Who wants to hear my story? What gives me the presumption? and 2) Fear, as it will take great humility to dispose my inner web of relations to the world. As a once reveler in Nietzschean relativism, strangely, I am now more afraid to expose my virtuous self rather than my vicious self. How great of down goers we are! When I lived the will to power relativism, I would boast of my faults -- intimidating others with my own slavery. Now that I have seen the light; now that I have been given the light; I am more afraid to talk about the grace I've been given than when I was wicked. What a herd member I am! No more of these chains! No more will the torrents of custom swallow and drown me!

As victim, then, I write. Not as accuser. In my next entry, I'll tell you about my association with dope dealers and tyrant slaves; about my own slavery. (Tyrants, are as Plato relates, the greatest slaves because they can satisfy the beast within without limits.) When I was a member of the modern herd -- the Nietzschean herd -- I was a slave to the pride of life; I was a real slave moralist. Perhaps my story will break someone else's chains.

This, I hope, will put to rest the demonic venom of the haters of real free thinking Catholics. Free thinking because their shepherd is the Spirit of Freedom. Submission to the right authority is freedom. Let my story bring freedom!

It is time for the sword to be unsheathed.
