JAMES' MOST STRATEGIC POSTS: *****
MUCH OF MY POSTING WAS ON FACEBOOK: STARTLOVING1

If the Apostles had "gotten it," Jesus would have lived on.

Jesus, as would any brother, would do whatever it took to
bring Our Father, Universal Love, to earth in our Hearts
that His Family, all of us, might live in the Kingdom
of Universal Love on earth.  The Apostles
weren't "getting it."  They all scattered and abandoned Him
when the soldiers came.  He knew they weren't "getting
it."  "Peter, do you Love me (agape)?"  "Like we were
brothers (filios)," Peter dumbly answered. 
Again, toward the end, "Get thee behind
me Satan," to Peter who he Loved.  "How much longer must
I be among you," to all the apostles, in utter frustration
with them, toward the end.

Had they been "getting it," Jesus could have used less
drastic measures than walking into certain death.  But they
weren't so He had to pull out the big gun - allowing Their
Heartlessness, Their Blindness, Their Deafness, Their
lack of Universal Love to kill him THAT THESE ERRORS,
THESE SINS MIGHT BECOME VISIBLE - THAT THEY MIGHT
REPENT, that is, HEAL THEMSELVES!  Which, reportedly,
some of them did.

Universal Love DIES for those who are suffering.  That's
what it does. Period.  When that Dying can BEST take place
over decades, it does so.  When what is required is going
out in a blaze of glory, the Crucifixion, it does so.

HOW MANY MORE SAINTS WILL YOU AND I CAUSE TO  DIE,
BEFORE WE WAKE UP  AND "GET IT," UNIVERSAL LOVE?

To Those True Friends that would Save Start L. from his Errors, Ignorance, Limiits....


[NOTE: A God-send of a friend was sent to me in Decemember this year.
Our relationship has been a great blessing to me, and to this friend as well I think. But as has so often been the case in Start's life, this promising relationship may well be headed toward being a massive frustration and drain on my friend. Hence this note, that may be of benefit to others as well. This is prompted
by my encounter of today with this blessed friend.]


Dear Friends,

I am writing this out of Love and Compassion for you. That is, I
don't need you to read the following for me, and I suspect it is
likely to become a rather long email. I provide it because I feel
it may empower you in managing our relationship, and reduce what otherwise
might be mountains of unproductive frustration and unhappiness
for you. I need no reply. I don't need for you to read any further.
I simply need to make some things AVAILABLE for you, my Friend,
for wherever these things they may lead.

The circle of Leaders in whose company I SL have learned to consider
myself includes Pr. Obama, Gandhi, King, Jesus.... Ridiculous, yes?
I know. Hilarius! But Our Father and this circle of Mentors agree with me.
:-) . Seriously. It is not by accident that I've attained this level - my entire life's
dedication has been toward this end, because as one of you and I
shared today, "Leadership is Everything." There is no hope for
my suffering Family of 6.8 billion and the 10's of billions that are
born in the future, unless there comes about a spark(s) of Transformative
Leadership that causes a total Revolution of the Spirit - Globally,
that is, a spark that brings about the Revolution that our
beloved Jesus was Dying to unleash, and so too the ML King's and Gandhi's
of the world afterward; and we've all but irreversibly concluded
our global journey in exactly the opposite direction through this
moment in history.

Now, what is the nature of this desperate Leadership need? Is it incremental?
Is it small steps? Is it something that can take place over decades -
centuries? Is it normal? Is it more of what we've seen, only better?
The nature of the leadership task to Save Humanity -
physically and spiritually, now in 2009, a world that is within months
of being beyond redemption in Life Support (Plan B 4.0) is instantaneous,
Totally Transformative Leadership that within months, NOT decades
or centuries brings Our Father's Kingdom to Earth, Universal "Family,"
on a Global Scale - EXACTLY the Miracle Jesus Died for, and that so far
He has TOTALLY and completely FAILED to bring to fruition.

On an infinitely smaller, but not insignificant scale, this has been
my life's work - Saving the Lives (livelihoods) of thousands of folks
in high-tech industry from all but certain doom - serial major and minor
Leadership Miracles that defied all odds and all prevailing wisdom.
And they were achieved in no other way than Spiritual Transformation.

The last company I ran went from certain downfall to increase in
market value 20 fold in the 3 years I was leading the hundreds
of people involved. This is not atypical of my Leadership impact
throughout my 28 year professional career. Serial human Miracles
against impossible odds, leveraging the Great Unseen Force -
Human Goodness, Universal Love, the Truths of Jesus, God some
call it - to achieve results considered unimaginable.

And ALWAYS I've been viewed as weird, strange, stubborn, hard
headed, Messianic, wrong, misguided, outsider.... "If at first the idea [person] is not
absurd, it has no hope." Albert Einstein. The hallmark of insanity is
attempting to achieve different results by doing things the same old way.

The Truths of Jesus I've been working to grasp, be grasped by,
to understand and to master since I was young, and explicitly and
concertedly these last 12 years. For 5 of those years I understandably
thought that what calls itself the "Christian" "Church," whatever
denominations, was where I could go for help in gaining the mastery
I needed to be able to "Save." What instead I found was a near
perfect slaughterhouse for the Spirit - all denominations. The
Scribes, Pharisees, the Hypocrites of Jesus' day have simply re-branded
their murder as "Christianity," totally perverted and corrupted
His Truths, and have been keeping Him DEAD for the last 1900 years.
I accuse FEW of conscious malice; nor did Jesus - Hypocrisy is the
great Murderer - Lying to oneself first, and thereby murdering
Truth, the Holy Spirit, Universal Love - the only hope for Humanity.

I DESPERATELY wish there were those who could teach me the
fundamentals of Jesus' Truth, what "Church" should be, because everything
in my life has convinced me that Jesus was our Einstein of "Saving" ourselves. But
there are not. And in their stead are the "blind guides," "ravening
wolves," armies of "Christian" hypocrites - general merchants of death
that have turned my Father's House, the Church, into a den of thieves,
a Slaughterhouse of the Truth, of Life.

With 1-2 billion "Christians"
on earth and now earth is MUCH MORE HELLISH than before there were
such a large % of "Christians," there are only two conclusions possible -

A. THAT WE ARE NOT CHRISTIAN, MORE THAN 1 IN A MILLION OF US THAT CALL
OURSELVES SUCH.
or,

B. That being TRUE "Christian" is of NO EARTHLY IMPORT OR IMPACT!!!! Jesus'
teachings were nothing more than a Mystical obstacle course/
game of chance that determines whether you go to Hell or Heaven after you
die! There is NO WAY, if there are billions of Christians, in TRUTH, that Jesus
Truths are other than earthly weak nonsense IF WE ARE TRULY CHRISTIANS!

"B" is Utter horrible, insane, murderous nonsense. We are no more
"Christian" than the Jews of Jesus' day; and worse, cuz we've
built up monstrous immunity to His Truth these last 1900 years.
"I like your Christ. I do NOT like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."
Gandhi. "I think that to be a Christian you should resemble Jesus."
Teresa of Calcutta. Start agrees. And we don't. So, we AREN'T.

I am totally, 100% dedicated to becoming the embodiment of what Jesus
died to give me, and to share it with as many of my beloved fellow
humans as I can, thereby Saving as many as I can. He TRULY knew
that Miracles were possible, NECESSARY, and He taught and showed us
the way. I'm in. Not to Talk, not to Pretend, but TO DO, OR DIE.

In principle I, Start, am open to discuss anything! I am NOT God and
therefore do NOT have perfect knowledge of, well, anything. And
in the realm of things that our western society deems worthy of
discussion - sports, entertainment, stuff - not only would I of necessity
be open to discussion - I'd have to sit with my mouth shut - cuz
I know NOTHING OF THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally. But in
the realm of TRANSFORMATIVE, HIGH STAKES Leadership, and the
realm of Christ Jesus - well, tragically, I've found during my lifetime
such a murderous void of knowledge and expertise available, I've
been forced to attempt, and to succeed at becoming a world
authority, if no one but me and Our Father knows that I have become.

So, I know EVERYTHING on these 2 subjects? :-( In 20 lifetimes I
would not. But in the same way that today there are recognized,
and unrecognized world authorities in Physics, yet they will be
deemed ignorant and inept centuries from now; your brother
Start is for today, a world authority on Leadership and the
Truths of Christ Jesus, today.

It offends me not in the least anyone that does not recognize this,
my professed Authority in Leadership and Jesus' Truth. It breaks my heart, in the
same way it broke the heart of Dr. Jos. Lister that in 1870 he knew
that unclean scalpels were the cause of massive slaughter, but
for another 30 years of carnage he FAILED IN LEADING ANYONE to change
their behavior! But as Lister, and Jesus before me, I KNOW the
Truth sufficiently in the areas of Transformative Leadership and
Jesus' Truth that no physical price or pressure will be able to cause me to
deviate from attempting to bring them to Earth - and Our Father's
Kingdom thereby - nothing more, nothing less, NOTHING ELSE.

Now presumably, during those 30 years for Lister, there were folks
that took genuine compassion on Lister, and attempted to get
him to "see" the error of his knowledge, or methods. And at
the time, ALL CONVENTIONAL WISDOM were with those trying
to "Save" Lister from his folly, to "educate" him, to "correct" him.
But he WOULD NOT BE SAVED, not were it to "cost" him everything,
and neither will Start be "Saved." :-)

Right around 1900 Our Father, Universal Love, The Way Things Are...
took Mercy on Jos. Lister, and Humanity. Our Father arranged for
the Queen of England to require surgery, and made it known to her
the theories of Jos. Lister. She demanded he come and that his
ideas be followed to the letter. She survived and recovered. In
a brief time then the world of surgery was Transformed - Globally.

It took 30 years, but Jos. Lister became a Transformative Leader
of the world, as few have before or since. And for every Jos.
Lister that Our Father finally helped, there were 1000's just as
Enlightened, just as possessed by Truth that Our Father did NOT
allow to see the Truth of their promise, nor for the world to
recognize it. And that is Our Father's way. And so it is for Jesus,
so far.

Start is alone. With decades of expensive training, and decades
of Leadership expertise and skills, he sits, mostly alone, in front of the White
House, ignored, disrespected, irrelevant, scorned, largely abandoned.
If you pick up your cross - YOU WILL BE CRUCIFIED. Hmmmm. We
today live as though Jesus stated or implied some time limit on that;
that He thoughtlessly left off - "Oh, that is, Until the world is crawling
with false prophets, re-branded scribes and parisee "Christians" calling out
in my name - THEN you won't be Crucified any more." Huh?

HE GAVE US NO SUCH TIME LIMIT - except the implied - WHEN I
RETURN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL SURVIVING HUMANITY - THAT IS,
WHEN OUR FATHER'S KINGDOM HAS COME TO EARTH, Who thinks
that has happened? Who thinks Jesus would call America a "Christian"
Nation? Who thinks there are more than 1 in 100,000 "Christians"
that Jesus would recognize? Start does NOT think so.

For those that worry that Start is alone, failing, wasting his talents
and life - you need not worry. If Start does not exist in Heaven,
he wishes not to be told, cuz that is how EVERY second feels to him.
:-) And if there are those that persist
in trying to "Save" Start from the errors of his ways - get ready for
some massive frustration, and eventual impatience or unavailability.
Start doesn't have time for the basics, debate, or arguing the "basic"
Truths. He has time to be left alone, or..........

Start YEARNS for the day when Our Father, Universal Love, brings
alongside him others WITH THE SAME VISION OF TRUTH, JESUS'
TRUTH, GANDHI'S TRUTH, MLK'S TRUTH - ALL THE SAME TRUTH, who
are on Fire with that Truth, or YEARNING to be so. WHO HAVE FAITH
IN THAT TRUTH - WHO BELIEVE IT IS SUPPOSED TO TRANSFORM, TO
"SAVE" THE ENTIRE WORLD - BRINGING THE KINGDOM. For them, and
them alone Start has all the time our Father Gives him to FACE
the Truth, Learn the Truth, Master the Truth, be MASTERED BY
the Truth - and to work to Save the World, or die in the attempt.

With much Love for you all,

Start

ps:
SO, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DEBATE OR ARGUE THE BASICS, OR STUDY THE
"TRUTHS" THAT I'VE COME TO SEE AS HORRIBLE LIES FROM THE "CHURCH."
And I don't have time to discuss, or be schooled in Leadership. My every waking
second is dedicated to Refining, Practicing, Perfecting and Proliferating
what I know.

THIS is "The Law and the Prophets." There IS NO OTHER.

[by way of our Sister Beverly]
OLD FISHERMAN   

Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of   Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore  We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the Clinic.

One summer evening as I was preparing supper, there was a knock at the door I  opened it to see a truly awful looking man. 'Why, he's hardly taller than my eight-year-old, ' I thought as I stared at the stooped, shriveled body.

But the appalling thing was his face, lopsided from swelling, red and raw Yet  his voice was pleasant as he said, 'Good evening. I've come to see if you've  a room for just one night. I came for a treatment this morning from the  eastern shore, and there's no bus 'till morning.'

He told me he'd  been hunting for a room since noon but with no success; no one seemed to  have a room. 'I guess it's my face. I know it looks terrible, but my doctor  says with a few more treatments... .'

For a moment I hesitated, but his  next words convinced me: 'I could sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.' I told him we would find him a  bed, but to rest on the porch.  I went inside and finished getting  supper. When we were ready, I asked the old man if he would join us. 'No  thank you. I have plenty' And he held up a brown paper bag.

When I  had finished the dishes, I went out on the porch to talk with him a few  minutes. It didn't take a long time to see that this old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children and her husband, who was hopelessly crippled from a back injury.

He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact, every other sentence was prefaced with thanks to God for a blessing He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin cancer. He thanked God for giving him the strength to keep going.

At bedtime, we put a camp cot in the children's room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded, and the little man was out on the porch.

He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his bus, haltingly, as if asking a great favor, he said,
'Could I please come back and stay the next time I have a treatment? I  won't put you out a bit. I can sleep fine in a chair.' He paused a moment  and then added, 'Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered  by my face, but children don't seem to mind.' I told him he was welcome to come again.

AND on his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and a quart of the largest  oysters I had ever seen. He said he had shucked them that morning before he left so that they'd be nice and fresh. I knew his bus left at 4 a.m. , and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.

In  the years he came to stay overnight with us there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden. 

Other times we received packages in the mail, always by special delivery; fish and oysters packed in a box of fresh young spinach or kale, every leaf carefully washed. Knowing that he must walk three miles to mail these and knowing how little money he had made the gifts doubly p recious.   

When I received these little remembrances, I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning.   'Did you keep that awful looking man last night? I turned him away! You can lose roomers by putting up such people!'

Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice But, oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their  illness would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what It was to accept the  bad without complaint and the good with gratitude to God.

Recently I  was visiting a friend who has a greenhouse. As she showed me her flowers, we came to the most beautiful one of all, a golden chrysanthemum, bursting with  blooms. But to my great surprise, it was growing in an old dented, rusty bucket. I thought to myself, 'If this were my plant, I'd put it in the  loveliest container I had!'

My friend changed my mind. 'I ran short  of pots,' she explained, 'and knowing how beautiful this one would be, I  thought it wouldn't mind starting out in this old pail. It's just for a little while, till I can put it out in the garden.'

She must have  wondered why I laughed so delightedly, but I was imagining just such a scene  in heaven. There's an especially beautiful one,' God might have said when he  came to the soul of the sweet old fisherman. 'He won't mind starting in this small body.'

All this happened long ago -- and now, in God's garden, how tall this lovely soul must stand.

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'

Friends are very special. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.  They lend an ear and they share a word of  praise. Show your friends how much you care.

Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.

Nothing, will happen if you do not decide to pass it along.

The only thing that will, happen, if you do pass it on is that someone might smile
(or cry like I did...) ~ because, of you!

Friends are special Hugs from GOD!

EUREKA. "The Families are Two; of Which are You? The Answer is Everything." SL Inspired by Gospel of Matthew

Day #15, roughly, of my study of Matthew.  Now, these are 1/2 days for
me - the cold has greatly cut my productivity, at least that is the excuse I give
myself.  Getting older may be more like it.  Oh well.

But I pour over and over, line by line, attempting to deeply, deeply, deeply be
grasped by the meaning, and the implications of just Matthew, so far.

THIS IS A SHOCKING MASSIVE REVELATION FOR ME.  Am I the last to get it?
THIS IS THE WHOLE DEAL OF THE GOSPEL -

There are two families on earth (not three, not millions):

Family 1, THE GIVERS.  Those that "see" everyone as Immediate Family and
Live accordingly  - the ML King's, Diane Wilson's, Col. Ann Wrights, Eleanor
Roosevelts, Vandana Shivas, Barack & Michelle Obamas, Gandhis...

Family 2. THE TAKERS.  Those that are blind to the Fact that we are All Immediate
Family and exist, mostly in isolation, at war with all but a few, to get as
much stuff for themselves as possible - almost everyone you have ever
known....

Hell - the life experience of the "blind" masses, cuz the Life we are created for,
and capable of IS the life as Brother or Sister to ALL.  Every other option
is so massively deficient in its ability to satisfy our emotional need to be significant
that we are reduced to hideous, parasitic, clinically addicted, craving shadows
of what we were designed to be, created to be, born to be.  And it is EXACTLY the
Hell of the Addict, repleat with the impenetrable DENIAL and DELUSIONS.

Heaven - the Life experience of those who "see" that WE ARE ALL
IMMEDIATE FAMILY - the ML King's, Diane Wilson's, Col. Ann Wrights, Eleanor

It may be that I'll be Called to write much, much, much more on this.  My
Study continues.

Note:  12 years ago I was exposed to and undertook extensive study
of the greatest psychologist of all time - Alfred Adler.  At this point in my
study of Matthew I for the first time see where this seminarian's theory
came from, even though I had been told he considered his theory a
"scientific" version of Jesus teaching.

My Goodness! "Peace Work IS 1. Being, 2. Establishing, 3. Building the "New Normal."

[NOTE: This is among my most difficult, most important insights.]

With the current "Normal" - Killing, Bloodshed, Exploitation, Environmental
Destruction are NORMAL, TO  BE EXPECTED, THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF
OUR "NORMAL" WAY OF BEING - I MEAN, OUR "SELFISH" WAY OF BEING.

"Few people chose war.  They chose SELFISHNESS and the result
was war."  David Dellinger.

Note:  Regarding the following, reflect on our major movements toward
Peace, Humanity, Health - Civil Rights, Suffrage, Anti-Apartheid, EARLY
Christianity... and you may see the usefulness of the following framework
of understanding.

"Example is not the major thing in influencing people.  It is the only
thing."  Albert Schweitzer.

Peace Work, or in "religious" terms, Saving folks and societies, is:

1.  Being the "Change,"  the New Normal, that is, the Universal Love
incarnate we need to see in the world.

2.  Establishing the New Normal: By virtue of Being the
New Normal, SOME ONLOOKERS MAY "SEE" THAT THEY
ARE NOT NORMAL, NOT "HEALTHY," NOT THE "NEW NORMAL," AND
WISH TO BE "HEALED,"  TO BECOME "HEALTHY" TOO.  Peace Work,
Saving involves explicitly facilitating this awakening to the new normal.
KEY: Folks don't Change unless they "see" that they are Not Normal,
"Un-Healthy," Un-Human..." in whatever terms [again, think civil rights,
suffrage, early Christianity, anti-apartheid....]
  This stage of the
process involves the establishment of a critical mass, as small as that
may be - a nucleus of those that have become the "New Normal," the
change we need to see; the EMBODIMENT of the New Normal, the
New Way of Being Human.

3.  Building the New Normal using 1 and 2 above as the foundation
and template, using new "institutions" to proliferate the New Normal
WHILE avoiding the almost inevitable, ENTIRELY FATAL step of
Institutional-IZING the New Normal - which is certain Death, and
certain STRENGTHEN the Old Normal - that has us on the edge of
destroying what Civilization there is, once and for all.

UNTRUSTWORTH - NEED NOT IMPLY MOTIVE. (But USUALLY shows lack thereof)

OMG, I was so disgustingly over-privileged in my youth.  Hideous. Truly SHAMEful.

My Favorite car I ever had was this, below, blue, but not this exact one.  Given to me, of course. :-(

I had to get rid of it.  Doing so broke my heart. (Yes, that was  wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sick, but it did. I've grown some since, in my Values, thank God).

It could not be depended  upon to do what I needed done, when I needed it.  It was a freekin
car!  It had no malice!  It had no mal-intent!  But it was undependable.  As fun, beautifully
designed, stunning, high performing (when not broken) as it was, I needed something I could
EXTREMELY depend on.  And it was not EXTREMELY dependable.  With all its huge virtues,
it was a disaster for me, and it went.

UNTRUSTWORTHY - NEED NOT IMPLY MOTIVE.  (But USUALLY shows lack thereof)

sl

ps:  But Untrustworthy ALMOST ALWAYS RESULTS FROM LACK OF MOTIVE - THE MOTIVE
TO MEET EXPECTATIONS REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL PRICE PAID TO DO SO - This is the actual,
PROFESSIONAL definition of '"Quality:"  MEETING EXPECTATIONS.'  Lack of it bankrupt GM,
and slaughtered countless workers.

pps:  MG, the car co (below), ultimately went out of business exactly cuz their cars were untrustworthy;
stunning, fun, clever, high performance... but untrustworthy - and ultimately - worthless thereby.

ppps:  Friends, Family, this note is about me, about trustworthiness, and not you.  but know
that I really appreciate your trustworthiness.  :-)

pppps:  Trustworthiness is next to Godliness.  Seriously.  And untrustworthinness is Death;
sooner or later, it is Death.

We simplify to the point of TOTAL DISTORTION AND ERROR
when we make a big deal of the murder of King, Gandhi,
Jesus, Romero....

The point of them is not that they RISKED Dying, and WERE
murdered, killed, DIED.  NO!

The POINT of them is that EVERY DAY THEY WERE DYING,
OUT OF UNIVERSAL LOVE TOTALLY GIVING OF THEIR LIFE,
TOTALLY GIVING OF THEIR FLESH FOR THE WELLBEING OF
THOSE SUFFERING.

"Harsh." Of 370 Gospel Categorizations, "Harsh" is the most frequent.

For 8 days now or so I've been studying Jesus' words, and
categorizing His words, verse by verse , that I may come to more
deeply, MUCH more deeply grasp, learn and BE GRASPED
by what He died to tell  us.  We will not make it unless we
begin to stand on his shoulders.  Time's up for us.

Of 370 Gospel Categorizations I found myself creating
(Universal Love, Family, Our Father, Scribe....), "Harsh"
is the most frequent along with Our Father, Universal Love, and
One Immediate Family-No Double Standards.

This guy Jesus found it essential to be Harsh, in such a Cruel,
Deadly, Suffering, "Harsh," world; that has gotten much,
much, much more evil since then; including our new, powerful
immunity to Him and the Truths He died to show us.

Now, "Harsh" is not to be confused with Anger, or
Hostility, both of which He unequivocally labeled - Deadly
Errors (Sins).

One out of every seven verses of his words, out of 340
Matt. verses of Jesus in all, I had to label HARSH.

Huh. William Thomas / Thomas More. And "A Man for All Seasons."

"WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?  WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?"
Peter Paul and Mary 1962   Listen here

Huh.  I just this second realized - Thomas More, and Wm. THOMAS, both
had the same name.  I was thinking of the play because
Thomas loved it so.

It seems that when I told our [William] Thomas prop1.org
about it maybe 3 years ago he had never heard of the story,
a play really, "A Man for All Seasons."  I got it for him, and he
watched it over, and over, and over, and over. 

I got it for him because it is a story that has gripped
me since I first saw the movie many decades ago.  And I wept
when I saw it, as did our Thomas.  It made me think of
our Thomas - his better nature - the Profoundly Good Man.

It is about a man, a good man, THE ONE GOOD MAN IN ENGLAND,
THAT would NOT, IF IT COST HIM HIS VERY LIFE do anything,
say anything, victimize anyone, do whatever it took to stay in the graces of
their patron - Henry VIII.  EVERYONE ELSE IN ENGLAND,
(except for his stoic wife and sheroic daughter) WOULD,
AND DID.  Thomas More's CRIME was that he would not
SUCK UP TO THE PATRON HENRY VIII, as all the other courtiers,
parasites actually, would and did, ENDLESSLY.  Why would he not? 
Because that would be betrayal, of Truth, Goodness, Humanity, of his
fellow human beings, and his FRIEND Henry VIII.  "It is as much
a duty to not cooperate with evil, as it is to avoid doing evil."
Gandhi.

Henry of course had the loot, castles, food, entertainment, and
even the power to cause anyone's death [ultimately Thomas More's].

So the parasites, the Takers, did their infinite role plays, contortions, flatteries,
deceits, lies, fakeries, games, charades, token contributions... and they lived,
[if being a parasite is actually "living???"].  Thomas More, who would not,
was for a long, long, long time tolerated - and then he was put to death,
by them all [except his wife and daughter.]  Like Jesus before him,
and King and Gandhi after him, and martyrs and Saints.

Military,

GOP,

Peace Movement,

Jesus - He was ENTIRELY about re-conceiving Family, IN THIS LIFE. ENTIRELY.

Duh - you say?  :-)  Yes, I AM slow.  But my head is spinning with
the implications, grasping it, letting it grasp me, checking to see
if this is a correct understanding....  Huge.

I continue in more than a week's immersion in Jesus words,  as
I do every Christ-mass week or so now, in these last few days
specifically in Matthew, just for practical reasons.  Line by line, over
and over.

I am Stunned by the new appreciation that has exploded
within me this time - how CENTRAL is His notion, His Vision,
His Belief that THE VITAL DISTINCTION among us IN THIS LIFE  is which of
two Families we belong to - His Father's or, by whatever name,
Satan's, Greeds, Lusts, Selfinessess's.  That EVERYTHING, Every
Hope depends on 1. we as individuals bringing to TOP OF MIND
an ACUTE AWARENESS ALWAYS OF WHAT PRIMARY FAMILY WE ARE TRULY
IN - That of the Givers or the Takers (including bio-fam as PRIMARY
affiliation, instead of Givers/Father's), Our Father's and Satan's
respectively.  And, 2. that what being Saved means, what being
Converted means is Moving IN THE HEART and BODY from the Family of
the Takers to the Family of the Givers; and in doing so we
create or increase the opportunity of attracting others to
Convert to His Family.  THIS IS HUGE FOR ME.  HUGE.  It is what
has been going on in me for a decade or more, but to more clearly
see it, that is a massive gift.  And it can aid me in His Work.

It is only Start that didn't "get this?"  "Who is my mother, who
are my brothers," is NOT just a really important aside.  It is the
whole mission for Jesus to A. make the distinction of 2 Families
CLEAR (I came to divide), B. Elevate Our Father's Family - the
Kingdom; and C. Get us about Saving ourselves and Others
by joining the currently minute Family of Givers, Our Father's
Family.

I have much more growing to do in these coming days in this
new clarity.

If it is Our Father's will that you do so, I sure wouldn't mind
if you scanned my Journey from time to time

Con't: Selfishness IS Hell. There IS no other. None other is needed.

It's that we are born these nearly infinitely Giving,
Universally Loving, Creative Spirits, and when our
culture stuffs into ever smaller containers of Selfishness,
well it is Hell - Prison - living Death, Clinically.  And the
Madness is, most of us don't see it, and think everything
is fine.  It isn't.  Not for us, not for those we lead into
the same Walking Deadness.  Will the sleepers awake?

------------

The Hell of Selfishness
is the prevailing feelings of

Want

Deadness

Emptiness

Cravings

Meaninglessness

Bordom

Anxiety

With just enough Pleasure mixed in that
we think this is

Normal

How things should be

As good as it gets

NOPE.

Giving, Otherishness, Universal Loving

ARE Heaven.
ARE as Good as it Gets

"Jesus' Teaching: There are 2 Families - The Hearts/Givers, and The Tumors/Takers. Of which Family are you? Really?" SL

I've spent this Christ-mass week immersed in the words of Jesus, line by line, over and over.
This is what I've found. This is a very big advance in clarity for me:

"Jesus' Teaching is this:

There are 2 Families -

Health's Life "Givers"
(The HEARTS/GIVERS:
Gandhi, King,
Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Diane Wilson, Col. Ann Wright,
William Thomas...)

or,

Cancer's Life "Takers"
(The TUMORS/TAKERS:
Trump, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton,
Tom Buchannan (Great Gatsby),
Skimpole (Bleak House)....).

Of which family are you?
Really?

Your Soul depends on
the right answer.

SALVATION'S entirely about which
Family you end up in; WE end up in."
