A Dream
Not long ago I had a great revelation which has inspired me to begin writing this “E-zine” which will now and
forever be known as “The Gospel of the Fish”.
I dreamt that there is a giant, invisible, yellow fish living at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. In the dream it was
revealed to me the nature the universe and how we might save ourselves from sin. This startling news woke me up from a deep
sleep and as I looked around I noticed a strange light coming from my backyard.
I slowly made my way back there and found a strange glow hovering in the air, making swirls and eddies, but seemingly illuminating
a path from my door to a big rock that lies near the back gate.
I followed the path of light to the rock which looked as if someone had moved it. Lifting up the rock to see what might lie
beneath; I found tablets that seemed to be made from giant, yellow fish scales. Strange handwriting covered the fish scales.
I stared at this writing for a long time because it looked very familiar, but I could not figure out whose writing it was.
Suddenly it came to me- the writing looked like my own. How could this be? I began to read the words and soon it was apparent
that these were not my words. They were the words of the one true spirit, the holy one; the giant, yellow fish that lives
at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Even as I read the words, the scales disappeared, although they were seared into my brain. Now I will give you these holy
words; “The Gospel of the Fish”.

The Words of the Fish
Let it be known to one and all that I exist!! :)
I have always existed and will always exist. We are related you and I.
I did not create you and I do not really care about your well-being, but we share the same pain, being conscious and alive;
together we suffer and shall forever more.
I live at the center of the Milky Way galaxy within the black hole that some of you have observed. I am trapped here for
all eternity with no hope of release and just like you I wonder about the meaning of it all.
I have had a lot of time to think about this while observing all the events in this galaxy, as it has evolved. I have seen
many other intelligent races come and go- many much stranger than you... Many that I have loved.
All of them seem to delude themselves with ideas about gods and devils, and all sorts of strange entities that they could
never see. They always seemed to believe that someone was just around the corner, watching over them, ready to reveal himself
at any moment.
No one ever showed up. Now I cannot say for sure, but it seems fairly likely that if he has not shown his face in 10 billion
years, he probably won’t be showing up, or more likely does not exist. But now here is the good news- the Gospel that
I bring to you; you don’t need that guy. You can make it on your own.
The key to making it, to surviving all the crises now facing you, is to recognize that it is all up to you. No one is going
to help you.
There is no plan, unless you make one. It is all up to you. If you wait for God to save you, you will not be saved.
I have seen it happen already thousands of times. An intelligent race rises up and flourishes. Soon its own success damages
the web of life, while at the same time new powers are gained that allow one faction to destroy another. War rages out of
control, the web of life collapses, and soon the brief, flame of intelligence is extinguished once again. Of course, I told
you that I am not really concerned with your well being, but I am rooting for you. I would like to see you win.
This story of death and destruction is getting a bit old and I would like to see what happens if you manage to survive. It
might be good for me to have some fresh perspectives, to have someone that I could talk to, so I am going to offer you whatever
little help that I can. I am going to offer you the “Gospel of the Fish.”
