I watched a little bit of a film today featuring a live performance of Johnny Cash at San Quentin this evening.  It was a bit disturbing to my soul.  It made me wonder about the need for prisons.

I think that perhaps the biggest problem in the world is a lack of compassion, a lack of love.  I wonder if there is any way at all to help all those out there who are suffering in such desperate ways as those people in prison.  As I watched the film I listened to the inmates talking about the ‘crimes’ they committed and I think that some of them were literally possessed by demons at the time they did what they did.  I mention crimes in quotes because I can’t help but wonder what a crime it is to be born into a situation that offers you absolutely no alternative but to do those things the rest of us call crimes.  Who is the criminal here?  The inmate?  Or the societal and cultural mores that put limits on every little thing in life and then make it illegal to transcend those arbitrary limits that never existed in the first place?

Perhaps the English occultist Aleister Crowley was right when he wrote…“The only sin is restriction.”

It seems every time we put a limit on ourselves, we sin against the endless possibilities that are inherent in God’s Kingdom.  Restrict God?  Who could be so bold, so brazen, so arrogant, so stupid,…so evil?  Can there be anything more evil than a person who puts a limit on everyone else?  Is there any more demonic activity in the world?  Again, who is the criminal here?  Where did the ‘crime’ start anyway?  Certainly not with the so-called criminal.

In my opinion, the real criminals in the world are the ones who have no imagination, no ability to let themselves soar.  The real criminals are the ones who perceive a lack of freedom in themselves and then seek to thrust that restriction on everyone else just to make themselves feel comfortable by creating a world full of restricted souls—just like themselves.  Authoritarian Controllers.  Professional Limiters of every natural God-given freedom.

Maybe, just maybe those pathetic jackasses are the real criminals of the world.
