Vaillant.... The Buddha taught, “As with her life a mother cares for her own, her only child, so in your hearts and minds let there be boundless love for all creatures great and small.”4 That was the faith that the Buddha spent forty-five years of his life trekking the length and breadth of India to share with all he met.

Dear friends, notice: I see this very very infrequently among my small circle, but those few that Express themselves, that experience themselves, as quote against the other side, unquote it's time for this to stop or for us to unfriend each other. I have hope in, and I only have time to affiliate with, those who are for every creature unconditionally, and against every Injustice unconditionally. No exceptions.  Never against another creature, including another human being. Never. Never. Never against another group, not for any breath, ever. Against Injustice? With all our might. Against bigotry? With all our might. Against oppression, violence? With every fiber of our being. Never ever us against them. Don't do it, or we need to stop wasting each other's time. Militants,  passionately, VA, forcefully, relentlessly , unequivocally for the dignity, sanity, rights, good, fundamental needs of every creature, especially every human being, or we need to stop wasting each other's time. No exceptions. No exceptions for even a moment. It's too little too late for that. Whenever you see me doing it please call me out.

### A little-known, and immensely important intellect of the 20th century, was Ashley Montagu. Immensely deep and Broad scholarship and intellect, Spirit, Humanity.

### A little-known, and immensely important intellect of the 20th century, was Ashley Montagu. Immensely deep and Broad scholarship and intellect, Spirit, Humanity. He said, 'the world is not dying from the lack of love, it is dying from the presence of tribal love.' I know of more no more important truth than that. Jesus world was full of conditional, tribal, loving for me and mine. He gave his life to save us from that, to move us from tribal love to Universal family, unconditional love, submission to the service of Creator's family, every creature in creation. Me too. Everything else is self-inflicted Doom now.

***** Your love* is the deadliest force on earth.  Familial, tribal, nationalistic, personal love is objectively behind all small and large acts of destruction by we humans. Conditional love.

Universal love is the alternative. Agape. What I am saying there is nothing more or less than what Jesus died to tell us.

No? This is untrue? We kill to protect our family. We destroy the environment to take care of our family. We exploit others to take care of our family. And on and on and on and on. Oh, and then there are wars on other people which are simply mass forms of what I just mentioned.

* If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it. If the above is not true of you then you are one in a million, objectively. If the above is not true of you, it was true of me for most of my decades. The one in a million true revolutionary, like Martin Luther King, like Gandhi, are the one in a million that have escaped, that have transcended, this deadliest love.

New Chemo Start Date - 7.16.13

The pharma behind the drug trial my oncologist wants me on, is balking, because my treatment ends with surgery - chance of complications from the drug and clouding of the causal cure results.

Chemo is resched for next Tuesday.  My doc is hoping that the pharma will have reconsidered by then, but if not, he plans to start the chemo on me off-Trial, sans the trial drug, but with the 3 primary, known chemo drugs.  I have immense confidence in my cancer doc.

I remain in the CCNV Homeless Shelter Infirmary.  Surprisingly nice staff.

My room-mate is a fellow that claims to be schizophrenic, and if he is not, he is an amazing actor- spends hours and hours and hours a day, and during the dead of night :-(  , talking very sanely to fairly large groups of folks, that, uh, no one else can see.  :-(  He doesn't like it a lot when I asked him nicely if I might hope to get any sleep.  I could get the staff to intervene, but I've learned he is leaving tomorrow.  Tonight I'll see if I can stand sleeping with earbuds in my ears playing static to drown him out. Wish me luck.

Truth is it is much easier for me to sleep on the street than it is here - quieter somehow, and much, much, cooler - a breeze!  And oh, is it dreary here.  But hey, we are homeless riff raff.  Are there no prisons?  Are there on workhouses?...  And, that there is ANYTHING for we poor and homeless in this OF BY AND FOR THE OVER-PRIVILEGED Amerika (you don't think the City in "Hunger Games" is some FUTURE fantasy, do you?), is credit to HEROES, SHEROES like Doc Cardile at Unity Healthcare, and a few others.  Amazing.  I'll forever be grateful, admiring, inspired.

But, over all, this Homeless Shelter Infirmary is likely to work out, it seems.  Good food prepared by DC Central Kitchen, 2 to 3 times per day.  INTERNET.  Reasonable, tolerable, restrictions of my human rights given the order they need to maintain among a largely low functioning clientele.  Surprisingly kind staff.  Extremely unrestrictive after my first 5 days - Sat-Sun, I'm told, as far as my freedom to come and go early morning, late evening, to work elsewhere.

Very fatigued again today.  Hardly completed any work at all.  Slept, a lot, so much so that I shouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but maybe I will be able to anyway.

Tests continue to indicate that my tumors remain operable, giving the med team the chance of giving me a 40% chance of a normal lifespan; otherwise going pretty quick, as cancer does once in the liver.

Doc again said I had the option of bypassing the 2 mos chemo and going right to the operation to cut out the tumors, but he and the surgeon still recommend the 2 mos chemo first, so that's what I'll do.  The tests do not SHOW any other, or new, tumors - brain, chest, abdomen, torso... but there could be, and they want to reduce the chances they've missed anything; and 2 mos chemo will be some insurance in that regard.

I'm very grateful to my Family - the few Kind souls near and far that were, remain, "there" for me, no matter what it takes or costs them - buoying me along through this process, keeping my Spirit High enough, so I could find the right info, supporters, helpers, persevere, and make it this far... just like I was part of their 'Family.'  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ALL ARE.  :-)  Uh, so does our Creator. "They will know you by how you Love," said Her number one Son.

From sister Phyllis: "My home is yours.I have a room and a half efficiency but we do what we must..."

[[NOTE: Creation is NOT being destroyed by fossil fuels!!!!!

Creation is being destroyed by western-led, global, cruel, deadly Famine for Universal Family (the ENTIRETY, THE 100% OF THE Gospel of Jesus, MLK Jr, Gandhi, Tolstoy, Montagu, Sorokin... and others [LIBRARY TAB above]. FULL STOP.).  UNOPPOSED Ecocidal Fossil fuel use is just one of the SYMPTOMS.

CREATION IS DYING FOR LACK OF EXAMPLES OF UNIVERSAL FAMILY.  The following is one such example. Hence, I've reposted this private conversation, not to violate privacy, but to remind us of what Still, in these remaining moments we have to turn the Titanic, what Still could Save us, individually, and collectively.

From sister Phyllis, a high school friend (she to me, I was a creep),
who I've not seen since then, but we've emailed since she lovingly
reached out to me several years ago, refusing to let go, since, ....

In reply to my note this morning of...

"Subject: 05.17.13 Cancer updates -

http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/"...

She replied -

"maybe just maybe ..you could relocate and continue to work online -while receiving treatment. Go where you need to go. People are offering-maybe broaden the horizon of how you could succeed in functioning at your best with what God has challenged you with. I am here. My home is yours.I have a room and a half efficiency but we do what we must to survive:-) xoxo"

Loving's reply -

"Sister, you've been there for me for years now. Creator, bless your Heart, as you Bless mine.

We'll know a lot more in 3-4 weeks.

Thank you, from deep in my Heart."

Calif Sis Hope: "I can send you a one way ticket to here and tend you here."

Several weeks ago, learning that lack of housing acceptable to the hospital (fixed address, not living on street), AND acceptable to me, letting me WORK when not sick from treatment...

Sister Hope emailed:

"If I had space in DC, I would share it ... I can send you a one way ticket to here and tend you here, but you already know that, I think."

My reply:

"I do know that Dear Sister.

Hugs and HUGS."

"Loving, do you want to die here in our home?" Angels Bruce and Kathleen

They live about 10 miles NE of DC.  Met Bruce, his below shoulder length hair and beard, 50ish, in Feb, when he appeared with a huge bag of food, canned stuff, etc, as one of the now 50+ bags he and his Loving partner, wife, Kathleen deliver every Saturday to we DC area homeless - driving to spots only Angels could see.  , Met Kathleen this last week - they picked me up at the end of their 3 hour trek of delivery, and took me out to vegetarian feast and to their wonderful warm house to chat.

Breathtakingly Loving.

He found and watched last night's video log (must be one of the handful that have subscribed to the blog, or now that I have my FB blog-feed fixed, maybe he caught the repost on FB):

His comment on FB that I just saw?

"I know how important the vigil is to you. I know this is especially more so with limited time. I also know how hot this summer is going to be. Do you want to stay with us? Die here in our home? I don't want to leave you out there when you're not well. I didn't even show you our backyard. It's a little nature haven with privacy and a tent and a chiminea. if you do not want to be indoors much but somewhere safe and clear of anything that can be a problem. I am your brother and I have to put this out there cause I care greatly for your well being and comfort in this time of less time."

Loving's reply:

"WOW.  WOW.  WOW.  WOW.

WOW.

WOW.

Well, it LOOKS like I'm gunna die pretty fast but we don't KNOW that yet.  Let's not rush things!!!

:-)  !!!  We'll know in about 3-4 weeks.

Bruce, you and Kathleen are Angel Wings to me.  I'm crying now at your Good offer.  Not crying for myself, at all.  I just cry when I feel the beat of Angel Wings. So rare.

That could work,  your tent in your back yard, that could work, to die, or for 2 months chemo (you have metro access, don't you?), tho before the real serious dying part happened I'd move to Peter's House(?) a real nice hospice in DC for we homeless.  Deeply nice place, and they could give me whatever pain meds I'd need. 

Oh, the 'vigil important to me?' No.  The vigil is important to YOU, and every young person you'll ever care about.  That's why I do it, and will, I expect with any and every functional moment I'm given.

Let's see what the next 3 or 4 weeks tells us.

Loving u and Kath

[Bruce I reposted this important dialog here - . If you feel this inappropriate of me, pls just let me know (no explanation needed) and I['ll take it down immediately. But as I said ad nauseum on Tues, we're dying from lack of Examples of Loving, and you two have just given us a big one.]"

His reply -

"I am happy to know that you have a plan. Yes we are 4 blocks from one metro station (pg plaza) and 7 blocks from another (west h...) both on the xxx line. I feel like this back yard thing is the perfect time out for you. You can have access to the house but also come and go at anytime without it being a factor in any way. You let me know when to put up the tent. We also have a hammock which is very comfy too that I am about to rig up in a private spot also. We don't use a lawnmower with an engine anymore neither do our neighbors. The back yard is free from traffic fumes and city sounds or very many places you can even be seen by any of our neighbors. I say it is peaceful and private and it belongs to you now. <<>>. My cell # is <<>>  but it doesn't work on rainy days. Okay move here when you're ready!"

Loving's reply -

"There, you made me cry again. Here's where I posted - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ . Hugs to you both.

Unless all of a sudden the cancer does what is supposed to be doing by now, crippling me, I'll greedily do every second I can, here, maintaining my post at the embassy. But, if you remain willing, you guys would be my current, pirmary plan for 2 months of chemo, if they determine that in the last 4 months this didn't become un-curable. Hugs."

***** "Ways and Power of Love," P. Sorokin

"Ways and Power of Love," P. Sorokin

There is much wrong with this book.  There is much wrong with Einstein's work, as he'd be the first to say, but both are so far ahead of all other comparable works that, well, they are like gold, like perfect truth which they are not.  But they are like that.

For the direction that it points, this may be the most important book in existence for the future of humanity.

Read it, and don't stop where it ends.  Use it as a point of departure.

***** "Jesus Before Christianity," Albert Nolan

"Jesus Before Christianity," Albert Nolan

It is time to resurrect Him after 1800 years being Crucified, mutilated, buried by Constantine, and the cHURCH these last 1800 years.  For Him?  No.  For YOU?  No.  He was the Einstein of Universal Family,  Universal Love.  There's been no Einstein like Him, before or since. This is one of the only books I know that can make You an agent of Saving Humanity - Averting Ecocide.

It's up to you.

From wiki -

Nolan became famous for his 1976 book, Jesus before Christianity, in which he presented an account of Jesus' radical involvement in the struggle for full humanity in the context of first-century Palestine: he "challenged the rich to identify in solidarity with the poor, a spirituality of solidarity that resonated with white Catholics seeking a new, progressive direction" (Egan 1999). The book was translated into nine languages, and a 15th anniversary edition appeared in the early 1990s.
Nolan published his second major work, God in South Africa in 1988. At one point during the writing process he 'went underground' to hide from the Security Forces during the State of Emergency in South Africa. God in South Africa is a primary example of contextual theology: written as a theology for that particular moment, without a claim to its possible relevance in other times and places. In 2006, Nolan published his Jesus Today: A Spirituality of Radical Freedom (Orbis Books).
