I trust God more than the Bible.
I was taught that "the Bible is the word of God," but after learning how many people have had their greasy palms on the Word over the course of thousands of years, I am left to conclude that I cannot fully trust what is written.
I observe that those who promote the idea of Biblical infallibility are mainly European colonizers and their colonized subjects. Men who have made it their life's work to murder and steal from non-European races have utilized the Bible as their greatest weapon.
The greatest lie they have sold their victims is that they are offering us God's word after they had just raped our women, killed our grandparents, and stolen our lands.
I believe that the Bible does contain the word of God, but we have to trudge through all the politics, and hidden agendas contained therein.
It is written in the last pages of the New Testament that whoever adds anything or takes away anything from the scripture are in for some trouble. I consider it blasphemy to claim God said things that he didn't...
As a Player Saint I believe that God is truth. Whatever cannot stand the test of truth does not come from God.
As a Player Saint, I believe that God is love. Whatever sounds like hate, and results in pain does not come from God.
With these two parameters, Truth & Love, I proceed to read any words written by man and then do I determine if this is the word of God.
Amor y Paz,
Santos de Los Angeles

Being the Truth
Player Saints & Goddesses,
The Game is to be sold not told.
Everyone at some point in our lives would like to think we got this living business all figured out, and many of us venture to let everyone else in on our version of the secret of life, but the proof is in the pudding.
I don't go to my broke friends for financial advice. I don't go to my overweight friends for nutrition advice. And I don't go to unhappy people for moral advice. Everyone is entitled to their own private opinion, but critics and so-called experts have no business speaking on matters to which they have made no contributions in.
The best way to prove our philosophy is to live it. As they say, "Show me the money." If we can do better, then we should go ahead and do it; if not, we shut the f up about it.
Being the Truth means that every aspect of our life is a reflection of what we are about. No matter how loud we may want to convince those in our life about who we are, our actions are always going to prove our truth, or give us away. Either our method works or it doesn't.
It's funny how unsuccessful people in love, money, family and life in general always think their opinions should be taken seriously by others. These are typical squares, and many are just bonafide red-blooded player haters. They are unhappy with their own lives, and want to bring us down.
Jesus Christ, Player Saint said:
"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?" Matthew 12:33

Energy & Game
Energy & Game
To be a true and proper Player Saint or Player Goddess it is not enough to be on top of our Game in regard to Money & Honey. To be in tune with the Holy is equally important. This is what distinguishes us from ordinary so-called "players," and from squares.
We believe that all religions have something rich to offer humanity. Yet we believe that the mythology and story telling that make up the worlds canons have priceless literary and poetic value. The rituals are among the most beautiful of choreography and theater to express mankind's connection with the Divine. The temples are architecturally the highest achievements that mankind has ever reached. In essence, religion is an artistic expression of the Divine.
We advocate tolerance for all religious traditions so long as they hurt noone.
As Player Saints & Goddesses we embrace all religions as our birthright, being members of the human family. We don't argue with any square regarding the validity of one religion over another because we understand that where indoctrination has played a role, logic takes a backseat to faith. We are not out to convince any square that what they believe is a fantasy. Those who believe that ignorance is bliss, are left to sleep. We don't go around bursting anybody's bubble, because we enjoy participating in the make-believe as well from time to time.
Amongst Player Saints & Goddesses, we separate the truth from the lies.
It is our understanding of Energy that places us in a league of our own. Energy is the modern way of referring to the Divine. Energy by it's definition is that which is, and was, and forever shall be. One of the holiest names of the Divine that came to us from the Hebrew Old Testament is spelled out "Yod He Vau He"--a name which according to tradition should not be pronounced in vain but which means "The One who is, and was, and forever shall be." We follow the same Divine.
If we can use our faculty of reason and look beyond the fairy tales, politics, and cultural indulgences that most religions contain, we find that the Divine has been present in all peoples of the world. The Divine has not limited truth to one group of people, but has been present in every group on the globe.
Unfortunately, the majority of "Orthodox" religious squares will disagree with me wholeheartedly. Their attendance, and consequently financial security, is dependent on the idea that they hold a monopoly on truth and the Divine.
What separates us from the squares who follow strict religious traditions is that our destiny is not to despise Money & Honey in pursuit of the Holy. Nor do we shun our Holy purpose in order to an imbalanced pursuit of pleasure and power. Ours is a healthy union of Body and Spirit. We understand that the Material realm is, in fact, an illusory reflection of an all encompassing Energy field.
We believe that the Divine created us out of love and desire. The pleasures of the world are made for the righteous not for the wicked. We believe that sex should be enjoyed, but treated with respect. The sexual act is the highest of life's acts because life depends on it. To paraphrase Player Saint Zig Ziglar, we believe God made gold and sex for his crowd, not Satan's bunch.
Player Saints and Goddesses are intermediaries between the realm of the Spirit and the Material realm of the Game. In truth, these are two sides of the same coin. We follow our purpose in life and assist other players to reach their own destinies. We love all God's creatures, but we don't babysit crybabies or squares. We mastermind with other players to create Heaven on Earth. We believe we must hustle to earn our place at the top and look for the return on our investments. The Goddess smiles on those who sacrifice for the things they love.
Amen. So mote it be. Blessed Be.
