...efforts at finding a new creed for a new era to theologies that could be described as, um, eccentric. In the latter group is, for example, the Aquarian Concepts Community Divine New Order Government. On its Website you can learn about "Interuniversal Genetics," enroll in the "Starseed Schools of Melchizedek" and perhaps arrange a "personal transmission" with "Gabriel of Sedona." Gabriel, by the way, carries the endorsement of the "head administrator of our universe" (the two of them "fuse" once a month) and, moreover, is "the only morontia counselor/soul surgeon on Urantia (Earth) at his level of healing ability." (Accept...
...afterward, they will come back down to Stelle and to the "lost continent" of Lemuria,* which will have re-emerged from the Pacific Ocean during the last catastrophes. On Lemuria they will create a city over which Christ will reign in the person of the Archangel Melchizedek. Not quite the Christ of the New Testament, though: typifying their syncretistic beliefs, the Stelle members believe that Christ borrowed Jesus' body for his earthly sojourn, and that Jesus was a sort of theological tourist, who studied with Brahmins in India, Buddhists in Nepal and sages in Persia...

Desmond begins his maniacally brilliant reveries after a gaseous bout at the dentist's, where he acquires new crockery, i.e., false teeth, and a desire to rehash every event in a bizarre, vagrant life...
...easily surpassing last year's Lurcy sale in Manhattan, when 65 paintings racked up $1,708,500 (TIME, Nov. 18). But it had also distorted the art market beyond both sense and sensibility, made old masters seem bargains. Rubens' Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek, just acquired by the National Gallery, was bought last year in London for a mere $92,400; El Greco's Christ Healing the Blind brought only...
