Judgment Day by Tony Parisi

My all-time favorite speculative fiction author is Robert Heinlein. His decades-spanning career cast such a huge shadow that it would be hard to sum it up here. Hes probably best known for penning Stranger in a Strange Land as well as other notable works including The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough for Love and Starship Troopers. While his later writing may be cringeworthy in todays woke world (lots of male gaze stuff), overall his collective body of work is very progressive and though-provoking, highly individualistic but also compassionate, always probing the human condition.
\n\n
One of my top Heinlein picks is his 1960 novella If This Goes On, which tells the tale of a Christian theocracy that has come to power in the United States and a Masonic revolution intent on overthrowing it. It explores media manipulation, power politics, the role of organized religion, and personal belief. As a bonus, the novella features a strong female lead named Magdalene, a nun who plays a key part in the plot to take the country back.
\n\n
As I was first conceiving the musical, I decided to employ the device of a protagonist delivering first-person admonitions to the audience to both open and close the story. The themes in the Heinlein story fit so well for a Revelation tale, and are always so top of mind for me, that the idea to title the opening piece after the novella naturally popped into my head. This one narrative choice unlocked several others going forward. While the story is totally different, the thematic overlap strongly suggested certain characters and situations. In hindsight, it was a very good choice.

Again

AGAIN
Pt. 2/5 (Answers EP)

To what degree is someone elses behaviour towards us a reflection of the relationship with ourselves? 
I wrote Again when I was starting to see challenging people, conversations and events as a mirror for deeper introspection about where I was at internally. 

Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves CJ

A fractal crossfade between avoidance vs alchemy.


     

Shut up
Please give me some space today
I"m full up
Drinking all your energy
I know your mistakes could be reflections of mine
But, unlike you, I"m open to accept them as life
What now, your words have broken way too much
Pow pow, I hope the blood don"t make a fuss
Drifting over me, it somehow cleanses me nice
I guess I always knew you were a gift of divine
Divinity is gold

You"re playing with my soul again
You"re messing up my mind again
You"re blacking out my light again
Negativity won"t do good for you, won"t do good for me
You"re playing with my soul again
You"re messing up my mind again
You"re blacking out my light again
Negativity won"t do good for you, won"t do good for me


Brother, you say the world ain"t been your friend
But really, you really wanna play that game again?
Fire that you spit will only burn out your tongue
So close your ears and close your eyes before it"s all gone
What if you are just a hologram?
Magic, another little glimpse of who I am
Shadows never win, they only show me your dark
So breathe on through the pain before it rips us apart
Divinity is gold


You"re playing with my soul again
You"re messing up my mind again
You"re blacking out my light again
Negativity won"t do good for you, won"t do good for me
You"re playing with my soul again
You"re messing up my mind again
You"re blacking out my light again
Negativity won"t do good for you, won"t do good for me
