The Three Christs of Ypsilanti - Milton Rokeach [111]
“That’s not the point, Mr. Cassel. Don’t put the penis in the wrong hole or you’ll become a disfigured midget.”
“That’s a bit strong, Mr. Dung. There’s Miss Anderson to consider.”
“Excuse the expression, but it’s coming out of me and I believe it’s best to let out pressure, and if I have hurt your feelings through rude expression it was due to using a word that Mr. Cassel can more readily understand, and strike at.”
October 10. At the meeting, Leon discusses his changing delusions about Miss Anderson, Dr. Broadhurst, his wife, his mother, his father, and the Virgin Mary. The main theme is bisexuality.
Miss Anderson is now God Morphy Anderson. God is spelled with a capital “G” because she is bisexual.
Dr. Broadhurst is also a Morphy and is now in the “he” stage.
Madame Yeti Woman is no longer his wife: “I don’t care for the negativism of God implied in the name ‘Madame Yeti Woman.”’ Instead, his wife is a bisexual creature variously called Ruth, God, Lordess. “Right now he’s Lord, Potential Lordess.” Later on in the discussion Leon promotes her. “I am married to Grand Morphy, my wife who fostered me, but she is not my mother.”
Leon’s father is Grand Morphy, Sir. “My father is my foster woman wife in a male state.”
The same is true for the Blessed Virgin Mary who, now in a male state, is called the Blessed Virgin Brother.
October 11. At the end of the meeting Leon asks Miss Anderson if it’s all right to call her God Morphy, or should he say Miss Anderson. She replies that he may call her whatever he wishes, but that she prefers to be called Miss Anderson.
From this day on he calls her God Morphy Anderson or G. M. Anderson. He sometimes addreses her as Sir, sometimes as Ma’am, depending on whether she is in her “maleity” or “femaleity” stage.
October 17. As we go in to the meeting Leon hands Miss Anderson a letter, saying it is the most important document he has written in his life.
Joseph interposes: “It’s ridiculous—all that stuff about God being bisexual. Why should a woman be bisexual?”
“She doesn’t deny the fact that she is God. She …”
“I’ll tell you, Mr. Dung,” Joseph interrupts. “No man can get away from what he is. If a man is sick, he’s sick.”
I ask Clyde if he thinks Miss Anderson is God. “Oh, not quite,” Clyde chuckles. “She could be godly, I guess.”
“Ask her the question!” Leon says belligerently. “See what she says for herself!” I suggest Leon ask her himself. “I already know, I don’t have to ask her. It spoils the essence of a conversation to ask questions when you know the answers.”
The letter Leon had given Miss Anderson was lengthy and for the most part incoherent. It read in part:
Sanity of Grand God Morphy, Sir, Potential Associate God Morphy’s: Instrumental gods, goddesses, hollowed out, or not:
All of myself, God given prerogatives, I Dr. Righteous Idealed Dung Sir have given to positive bank use of the Ten Commandments of God.… On October 14, 1960, out of my own free will choice, I gave the small seeds of regenerative water; the seven large singular Seeds I gave to the male part of the Ten Commandments of God … From those seven seeds as many as the Sanity of God Wills can be regenerated through Penis Testicles of the Ten Commandments of God.… Female recipients can be protected through use of female Ten Commandment Belt-bar, with vagina face oval squelch, as precautionary protection of being Loved to death in pos. manner. …
Later, during a private interview, I tell Leon that I have heard about the conversations he held with several women about bisexuality.
—What is this all about?—
“Due to the fact,” he says, “that God has chosen a bisexual body to walk in, and in my case due to the testing against the Ten Commandments, such was presented to me that I should have sexual intercourse with a particular person.”
—Do you realize that this is the best evidence I have yet had of your manliness; the fact that you have had these conversations?—
“I thank you, sir. I appreciate that. I was told last night that owing to the fact that I have given up those
