When Manny Garcia went through the once padlocked door
After spending his whole childhood as a very angry orphan kid, Manny Garcia finally learned how to control his temper a few years ago. He had turned himself around from being a special education student who had anger management issues to a talented and gifted student in a city-wide honors program.
The Thursday before Halloween Friday in 1986 was four days after the NY Mets beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Dionne Warwick sang That’s What Friends Are For, the top single on Billboard’s Hot 100. Manny Garcia was pulling off a stunt at his school that eventually would lead him to a certain wizard and rabbi from a secret Jewish collaborative dedicated to safeguarding his future.
They were disturbed to see long established humanitarian values being abandoned in favor of money-making. It was a very religious issue for them. Organized as the “Lamed Vav,” they were bent on stopping the spread of Materialism in the world.
For reasons he did not understand, they needed Manny to help.
“We will first dim down the light of their God— one candle at a time” begins The Ba’alist Agenda, “And then we will increase the darkness, unrelentingly.”
After the military defeat of the axis powers, the “Lamed Vavniks” who had survived the holocaust met to assess the future of Judaism. Rabbi Sanford ben Eichler, who was just then becoming known as “The Astoria Rebbe,” was adamant that all Jews should be unwavering in their historical opposition to Idolatry and Materialistic thinking. “The historical purpose of the Jewish people” Rabbi ben Eichler implored his fellow rabbis, “has always been to oppose the natural inclination of human beings towards Materialism.”
At the time, the world’s Jews did not realize that Queen Jezebel‘s lineage had remained intact these past 28 centuries— and that their sole purpose was to wipe out the invisible God of Israel and replace the wisdom of the Torah with the worship of Prince Ba’al, Lord of the Earth. Unbridled materialism and unmitigated greed would come to be promoted as “prosperity.”
To unify such a diverse collaboration of spirituality-oriented individuals, Rebbe pointed to the imminent arrival of a New Age. He urged the necessity for an Aquarian Agenda to counter the Ba’alist Agenda. He wrote, “We must promote an idealistic and secular vision for the coming Aquarian Age. This will be our best strategy for avoiding the inevitable catastrophes that have befallen all other civilizations whose material ambitions triumphed over their spiritual aspirations.”
Within such materialistic restraints to thought, there can be no human potential beyond the material reality. Pagan peoples conceptualized forces of nature into individual gods. They worshipped their images of the gods and used repetitious, ritualized behavior in order to influence their gods. They made sacrifices in order to affect the outcomes that the physical laws of nature had upon their material lives— mainly the weather, the stars and fertility.
The historical purpose of the Jewish people has always been to oppose the natural inclination of human beings towards Materialism.
Towards that end,
