***** must read. If we are going to survive as a human race, we’re going to do it through civil society actively working for human rights, not promoting closed policies that mimic Nazi Germany or Communist Russia.........

Optimism, especially the naive optimism fed to us by the corporate state, engenders self-delusion and passivity and is the opposite of hope. Rebels who are self-aware, who are possessed of sublime madness, are also often plagued by a gnawing despair. When the movie producer Abby Mann, who wanted to film Martin Luther King’s life story, asked King facetiously, “How does the movie end?” King responded, “It ends with me getting killed.” As Mann recalled, “I looked at him. He was smiling, but he wasn’t joking.”36. Chris Hedges

***** Jesus was a human. He gave us none of the outs that we give ourselves. He was an absolutist and he told us to be the same. Love as I have loved. Do unto others all that you would have them do unto you. Pick up your cross. The good shepherd lays down her life for the sheep. As you do unto the least of these you do unto me. He gave us not one excuse, not one out, not one bit of leeway. Any more than in loving us he might have said, hey, it is okay if you usually do not eat poison, deadly poison, but it is ok if sometimes you do. Selfishness is poison. He told us that in every way possible. We don't like the answer so we deny deny deny deny deny deny. I never thought, & I still don't think, it was ever about forgiveness, being better than, being worse than..... I think it was always about joy or suffering. And I think he was trying to tell us that selfishness, although it seems like a good idea, is deadly, slow acting, poison. Of course, I might be wrong. But every day, every study, every experience... tells me that this is correct.
***** Pic. Live a full and total solidarity with the world's neediest.
I have come to believe that this is what Jesus lived and taught and that by violating it for 2000 years we have brought on ourselves near certain and total destruction of all that is good in the world. This gets clearer to me with every passing moment. The best of us convinces our self that it is okay to live with greater resources allocated to ourselves than to our neediest sisters and brothers. I believe that Jesus said, and lived, no.

***** I see absolutely no hope for humanity. I see nothing but doom. Elysium. Hunger Games. The Matrix. The only individual salvation from this is to live as a force for good no matter what; in absolute, water, breath by breath, lived solidarity with the global neediest. In this is the only joy, the only peace, the only humanity, the only kindness to others.

With the redirected wedding funds and the support of their guests, the couple was able to raise $17,500. Jackson says these funds will help the Ryerson University Lifeline Syria Challenge, which connects citizens who want to be private sponsors with people who have been displaced by the humanitarian crisis in Syria.

***** pic. ELF.usion: A new, powerful weapon against fossil fuels... for a Future for all Creation, a Free Palestine, Global Solidarity.....
It is a joy to use. In DC I can go faster than any car... traffic and lights.
The motor is deliberately speed restricted to under 20 mph so in all 50 states it is legally a 'bike'... no license, registration, etc, etc....
But I got it entirely to promote the causes you see on the graphic, in and around DC, and maybe soon, up and down the mid-Atlantic coast, and soon, maybe all 50 states.

***** I was cursed with being born materially wealthy and continued materially wealthy until about 15 years ago when I deliberately chose the path of material poverty - solidarity with the neediest in my global family,brotherhood Loving, Chrisylikeness, Waging Loving, Truth Force .... I wouldn't go back for anything in the world. I finally left the life of abject poverty of the Spirit for one of infinite wealth of the Spirit. Every second of my life now I am laughing all the way to the bank. I pity, I deeply pity with every cell in my body, the all but one in a million fools that are yearning for, are seeking, material well being, thereby murdering, trashing, destroying, abandoning, fleeing... their solidarity with all of humanity, with all of creation leaving their one and only true family behind. They are eating sand.

A group of scientists has become infinitely more knowledgeable as to new species of life, newly found species of life, in the depths of the ocean, having plunged to never before reached, very dangerous depths that no one had yet explored. And so it is with me. Only when I leap to terrifying new spiritual and academic depths that I have never before had the courage or wisdom to dive into does my clarity, knowledge, understanding... increase. And how desperately I need these things to increase as I have been a total failure and precipitating meaningful social change thus far.

***** Sons of man have nowhere to lay their head. Loving without living in absolute solidarity is not Loving. That which is not Loving is exactly that which is at war against Creator, Creation.
