Maybe I've never shared this, among the most important gifts I've ever received. About 15 years ago I embarqed toward the journey that has captured me ever since. Leaving the ways of our culture, 180 degrees in the opposite direction, from working to make rich people richer, like me, to lived solidarity from the soul serving our neediest sisters and brothers. It was Joyful from the start. There was never, has never been, the tiniest portion of a instant when I've been other than overjoyed with this total change of direction. It is pretty much muscle memory for me now, but not so at the beginning. It could not have been. It was natural for me, I think it is the natural path we were all born to. But our sick culture strips us away from that path, thinking it virtue to do so to its children, and puts us on exactly the opposite, exactly the wrong path. And we gain muscle memory for that and our nervous system literally and actually atrophies for the correct path. So it takes tremendous work and experience for that to be recreated. Really in my departure on this path I found it useful to imagine that there is a creator of us all, a parent figure that unconditionally loves us all. For me then and now God is love, life, and Truth. Period.  People like Teresa and Gandhi said the same, and most if not all of those who throughout history I Revere lived the same. That was an understanding in my head but it was also something more and more clearly felt in my spirit. It became tangible for me in that way. I had a wonderful warm feeling, tremendous peace, each moment that I experienced myself as in creators will. And then I received the gift. From my earliest memories I was obsessed with the female form and all things sexual toward that form. For most of my decades, carefully taught by my culture in a trillion ways, I thought that virtue. I was carefully addicted to all of the lists that our society worships but I'll speak of this one for the moment. The gift I received was in the form of a question that came to my mind, as I was following my inclination to admire a shapely female form, the question came to me, is that that you are now starting to direct your attention toward, is that toward or away from God? The answer was instantaneous for me, instantly and comfortably clear, away from. Yes, I can hear the chorus arguing otherwise. I'm speaking what I experienced then, and with every breath since. The answer for me was instantaneous, that's away from being a vessel for love, life, and Truth. It is turning away from love, toward lust, toward my selfish inclinations, away from serving the neediest from the soul in solidarity. It was then instantly clear to me that turning away from the pure Spirit of love, life, and Truth, was not the choice I wanted to make then. And it has never been the choice since then that I have wanted to make, in any instant. Experientially for me it is not about right and wrong. It is not about guilt or not being guilty. It certainly has nothing to do with an afterlife in which I have zero belief. For me it is simply a matter of now having a mechanism that enables me to pursue Joy rather than pleasure, Joy being infinitely more gratifying in any and every moment then pleasure. I don't know that this could make sense to anyone beside me. Or maybe everyone beside me learned it much earlier and knows that much better. I don't know that it can be helpful to anyone beside me. But it has saved me from wasting even moments on Pleasure when there was an infinite Divine banquet of Joy there before me,   and before all of us I believe, with every breath we take. But it is all but completely obscured behind the Avalanche, the ocean, the universe, love sick country messages inundating us from our pathological, suicidal, malignant culture telling us exactly the opposite. So without mechanisms such as I just mentioned it is almost impossible to choose the joyful path from moment to moment.. James

I trust in Creator only in this way. I trust not that, never that, Creator will.......

I trust in Creator only in this way. I trust not that, never that, Creator will take some action for or against me or anyone. I trust Creator the way I trust a compass. Creator is the  force of creation. The compassion, empathy, sense of goodness, sense of decency, sense of conscience, sense of humanity... born within us all is what I experience as the part of Creator within me, the part of me that is able to sense Creator, sense the direction of Creator, and in that sense, to sense Creator's Will for me, role for me. Just as I try and align myself with the road I am riding on, just as I try and align myself with the rules of gravity as I am riding on my tricycle, just in that way I find that joy is in the direction, and only in the direction, of living creators will for me. In that sense  I profoundly, totally, ultimately, happily  paying any price to do so... trust the creator.

***** nd. If the Creator is simple, if His (Her’s, It’s) Teaching is Simple, as I Know it is, then any person that makes it complicated... is not following the creator. I believe this more and more every day, as life, study, self-examination, and practice teach me. The Creator is Loving, Truth, Compassion, Empathy, Serving the Neediest, Life-giving. When we embody that. When we Serve that, within us, when we Submit to that, within us... THAT ALONE… we are one with, and doing the Will of, the Creator, by whatever name, creed, words... or none at all. This is what I believe. This is what I practice. This is the Practice of everyone in history that I, and many people, revere... from every faith background, and none at all.

***** THIS IS WHAT I, Loving, BELIEVE. PLEASE READ. PLEASE? A Note to my Sacred, Beloved brother Joe.

 (a note to my Beloved, Sacred, (JW) Brother Joe; also note, the first selection, top of this web site, above, as:

• IF YOU READ ONLY 1 THING HERE: WHAT LOVING BELIEVES.

)

[NOTE: Joe is a devout JW who I had the privilege of meeting, I don't know, five years ago, when tapped by St.Thomas, at his request, I was taking his 10 hours every day at the then, 28 year vigil at the White House.  Though our discussion on that day, Joe's and mine, was entirely respectful, deep, and thorough, I never expected to hear from him again.  Would you?  Would you expect a devout JW to wish to continue a dialogue with me?  ROFL!

But we have remained for all these years in a sacred, deep, respectful, open dialog for all these years.  And each time we have spoken, it has been a mystery to me that we did, that the dialogue was continuing, but it has.  About a week ago I received an e-mail from Joe that was sort of the e-mail I expected after our first dialog years ago, and after each of our dialogs since - tho I couldn't have predicted the exact content.

Joe clearly, surely, accurately, respectfully, Lovingly, HARSHLY... laid out a lot of things that he had heard from me over the years (including on this blog that he has faithfully followed, with OUTRAGE at times, I'm sure, brave soul) that I considered central, and preceded in this email to say, with complete respect, that everything I thought was ABSURD (my word).

And then he said in some detail what he believed.  And that enabled me to reply, in a fairly long and detailed e-mail, that in total love, respect, amazement...  That I found everything he said in that e-mail totally ABSURD!  And further, that though it was clear he loves me, and I love him, I could see no bases for either of us spending more time in our dialogue. 

Well, amazement again, this morning I received an e-mail reply from Joe.  It was fairly long.  But what I recall it saying was, in summary, in total - I love you, and I will not leave you at a time that you are facing death.  :-)
Following is my reply.  (now, I'm crying.)]

...........body - email reply to Joe .............

Joe, I am immensely stimulated by our recent dialogue...

Out of respect for our differences, so Divinely revealed in our last exchange, I thought of sharing none of it with you.  Out of respect.  I thought of trying to pick and choose.  I'll do neither.  I'll just make available to you what is in my mind, my Soul, and you can read all, none, or pick and choose.

1.  About 5 hours after I sent my last e-mail to you, a full day before you replied,  the following popped into my mind, and I thought of sending you a PS.  But I decided not to.  What occurred to me at that time, and this was really important to my own thinking, was that of all the sentences I wrote to you in that long e-mail, they could all have been replaced by just one of them.  The sentence that could have replaced everything else that I wrote, and have still, adequately, expressed the entirety of what I Care about in the world, have hoped for in the world, have faith in, Devote my every breath to ..., Can you guess?  Lol.  It was the sentence where I said - 

'I Care about loving a trillion times more than anything else.'  

Everything else I said in the e-mail, I think, was just a restatement of that one central factor in my life; that IS my life.  I Care about loving one trillion times more than I Care about anything else in the universe.

2.  Hours before your e-mail of today the following popped into my mind [all the ideas that I value just pop up that way. Godsend?   I pray so. ] - "paradigm."  You know the concept, probably better than I do.  As my mind involuntarily pondered how two, well intended, informed, diligent...  strivers for the Truth could see the world so profoundly differently .  It became obvious to me that this feature, (Paradigm forming) , necessity, trick, of the mind must be at work in you and me And our  profoundly different view of the Truth.  In a room full of people that have never seen the picture above, if they are asked, without them talking among themselves, to contemplate the picture, and then to say what it is - some will say old woman, some will say girl, and almost invariably they will be fiercely angry at those that see it differently, near OPPOSITE, than they do!!!!  Incomprehensible!!!!  Absurd!!!!  Blasphemy!!!!  LOL. 

 And this explains many if not all of our wars.

And some thoughts that have occurred to me since receiving your most recent e-mail below:

3.  I think that all the preventable suffering in the world is due to one factor, and one factor alone, regardless of how it might be stated:

...putting anything, anything, anything... within a trillion layers of the priority of Being Loving.  All, all, all, all preventable suffering is a result of this error.  This is the substance of all, all, all, Sin, Error.

4.  It is so clear to me that this was Jesus' teaching (#3 here), that this was his Gospel, this was His good news - that all, All, ALLLLLLLL... needless suffering on earth would be solved by this one thing - Placing loving at a trillion times higher priority than anything, than everything else. 

And even better, for each INDIVIDUAL person -

...if no one else on earth did it, but just one person did, that one, individual, person would instantly enter heaven on earth. 

And that has been my life experience-  totally, completely, exactly, entirely, intellectually, historically, religiously, experientially, absolutely.   

And it is pointed to by the words and lives of all the people throughout history for whom I have admiration, which is how I've found it, re-discovered it (we're ALL BORN knowing it; and our culture destroys our knowing it, within months of our birth, now).  "As you do unto the least of these you do unto me." "They will know you buy how you love..." "The greatest among you is the servant of all." "Do unto others all that you would have them do unto you." "The good shepherd lays down his life for his flock." "There is no greater love than to lay down your life for brother." The parable of the good shepherd. The parable of the woman who put in two farthings, more than all....

5.  Your e-mail to me below was such a surprise.  Such a joyful surprise.  Such a nice gift.  Maybe it should not have been seen by me as such a gift.  I mean, obviously I can't be sure of why you sent it.  Not that I try to be non obvious to you, anymore than you try to be non obvious to me.  But we are, clearly, non-obvious to each other.  LOL!

6.  Not being in your head, as I do not have the benefit of being, I cannot know whether the following is true or not.  But that you sent the e-mail below, and that you sent ME, a blasphemer (LOL) the e-mail below, it makes me wonder: is Joe's belief system really that different from mine?  What belief system?  That loving is one trillion times more important than anything else on earth.  That what ever God is, that what is one trillion times more important to Him or Her than EVERYTHING else, is that we be loving.  That to God: us being loving, is one trillion times more important than what we call him or her, or if we call him or her anything at all.  One trillion times more important than any individual or collective religious belief, tradition, dogma...  that we hold, OR THAT WE HOLD NONE AT ALL.

7.  So if my understanding is that being loving is one trillion times more important than anything else, than EVERYTHING else, does that mean I think nothing else is important?  Well, if so, I sure am wasting an awful lot of my life -studying, writing, advocating, sacrificing....  :-)

8.  But I suppose the only two things besides loving that I find important are:

A.  Staying loving,

B.  Becoming loving  -

....As A. and B. apply to me, as they apply to everyone born, and to be born. 

9.  And that if I, or God, or you Joe, or anyone... care about religion, that A and B are the entire and only, ONLY valid, Godly, reason why.  That the only right reason, 100% of the Right Reason for caring about Religion, the only reason God would care about a right religion, or that you or I or anyone's belief system, is:  

....that it does or does not, is optimal or suboptimal, in making and keeping an individual or a group -loving!!!!! 

That's it.

10.  And therefore, getting religion right is immensely important to me, to God.  But not for itself!!!!  Never, for itself!!!!!!!!!  Never one nanosecond, one breath... Religion is NEVER important for itself!!!!  Religion is Only important because, if we ever got religion right, it would be instrumental to what religion, and everything else, has so far failed to do - 

....reliably, predictably, effectively, powerfully, consistently, broadly, universally:

A. Make us all Loving,

B.  Prevent us from not being loving. 

Brother Joe, thank you for stimulating all these thoughts.  I'll treasure them forever.  I'll be posting them, shortly.  Thank you.  Thank you for helping me toward this Divine clarity!

Your brother forever, no matter what.  Loving
