My story is not for the religious or the atheistic or the agnostic... it is for everyone interested in the truth. This blog contains first drafts of poetry and prose for my series of books on Christ, the first of which, Waking Up Jesus, is being greeted kindly by critics. Thank you... John Scott Ridgway
WAKING UP JESUS...
We come into this life expecting too much and leave expecting too little

biographical update
This story tells of a new sort of Jesus, a rebel who has come to america to change the world; like all prophets, his revelations are, more often than not... written in blood; you simply need to know that the character is 45 years old, an agnostic who is more surprised than the world that he is Jesus; a throughly modern, scientifically informed deity, he is so early into his awakening as the son of God that he gets up everyday to the crashing weight on his shoulders.
Presently, he is in Chicago, surrounded by the largest private army in the world, after announcing himself in five blogs that he made sure were seen by all countries, and drawing the ire of almost everyone in the world with a performance, that he made them put out over the televisions of most of america and all over the world, showing himself at his most base. He did not realize much of what was going around him at first.... though he thought he was just a regular man leading a normal life, much of his past had been hidden from him -- like the fact that he started sprouting wings when he was five, and that numerous secret and not so secret organizations (including the pope and skull and bones, the mafia and mossad and a secret cabal of ex-nazi's), had been monitoring his writing for some time trying to figure out what the 'angel' was up to here on earth.
He had no idea that his writing was being interpreted as holy scripture, had been writing comedy based on his liberal politics with a large dose of slapstick violence, from an agnostic point of view... the subtle nature of his work left a lot open to interpretation... and when he is visited by an angel (or an alien, he isn't sure), and is filled with a series of new voices that fill him from the various lives he has lived (he came down and left a few laws and split, he says, wearing the mask of whatever god or writer or king could do the most for the spiritual lessons he meant to leave). his writing becomes even more difficult to decipher... exactly when the world wants him to micro manage everything...
I am known as Johnny Pain and John Scott Ridgway; an Indiana boy descended from the first kings of England -- the line of King Arthur. I went to college for 14 years, drove cab almost as long, and have been publishing writing for over 25 years. Now, you can hear me on peaceandpipedreams.com

THE ASCENT OF THE KING
merlin cut his flesh into specks
fed himself to u
He is inside you
seize his magic
hold on for DEAR LIFE
PRAY
TO THE MAD MAGICIANS' VOICE IN YOUR HEAD
MAKE IT MIGHTY AND STRONG
enough...
for a total war with total peace...
a blood soaked Arthur
is rising
there are many ways
to die
only ONE
TO LIVE
forgive
you might know me from the elves attic.com,, the prose that launched a secret revolution that you too can be a part of now that it is all out in the open... or so I am doing now... I majored in Military Intelligence, among other things, and hope this tale of mine in this blog will be seen as a Gonzo'd Truth. I swear by the ancient blood of the kings that flow within me -- I am telling as true a tale as I can.
For background, I am over educated, have a couple books, do a bunch of comedy characters on the peace and pipedreams show at fearlessradio.com Live tues and thurs at 7pm central.
Waking Up Jesus is unlike anything you have read before, believe me... the return of the Spirit Who Walks Among the Living; a creature of Savage Grace who sets off an arms race, not to mention panic, murders, etc... DO NOT STEAL FROM ME.
