'Fascinating: Just Realized - of those I revere...

'Fascinating:  Just Realized - of those I significantly revere (1 out of a million)...

deceased - King, Gandhi, Jesus, Rachel Corrie, Steve Biko...
living - K, DW, SM, SS, USM ......
and / or with whom I feel affection - PS, PG...

Maybe as many as half or more have:

A.  Been divorced by their spouse

and or

B.  Rejected by some or all of their children
C.  Lived in Material poverty
D.  Received a pre-mature mortality

AND ALWAYS

E.  Had, or been close to, riches of the Spirit that not 1 in a million can Dream of, tragically.  Which  is why they do what they do.

"If you pick up your cross (if you devote your selves to the NEEDIEST in our global family) it will (not might, WILL) cost you husband, wife, son, daughter, house, farms... but you will receive 100 fold, in this lifetime (Wealth, Riches of the Spirit, the only Wealth, Riches, that there are, in Truth)."  Jesus.  100% correct, as usual.

01.07.13 Day 5 Ecocide's Death, FAST: My Cancer - If there are Godsends....

01.07.13 Day 5 Ecocide's Death, FAST: If there are Godsends....

... then this cancer of mine is one.  Makes me cry, in wonder, awe...Joy,... Hope.  Something's got to stop this Ecocide.  Now....

CANCER IS NOT why I went on Death Fast.  In fact, the systemic cancer diagnosis in December precluded me from undertaking another hunger strike, or doing a Death Fast, because it was so clear to me that it's "perception" effect would make it dramatically easier to misconstrue, misrepresent, defame, discredit, dismiss... 'Oh, he's just doing this cuz he was going to die anyway....' , effort.  Whatever.  (Sometime Truly think about, research, ponder... how aggressively we've destroyed, smeared, dismissed, castrated, neutered... the Revolutionary Truths about the Lives of the likes of Jesus (destroyed his Teaching of how to Live by turning him into a God - remote, (not capable of being followed), MLK Jr, Gandhi....    And, SEE WHAT THE MSM PRESS HAS BEEN DOING TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF CHIEF SPENCE'S HUNGER STRIKEGoogle-news it.).  "Do not call me a Saint.  I refuse to be dismissed to easily."  Teresa of Calcutta.

The two triggers that, to my utter surprise, and delight, enabled me, caused me... just 6 days ago, to see it was time, was Right, was Hopeful for me to do this Death Fast:

1.  Idle no more - the Indigenous Nations uprising - right in front of me at the Canadian Embassy! And then a new clarity for me about Chief Theresa Spence!!! It's been clear to me since early in the 1st Death Fast, June 2012, that UNLESS THE INDIGENOUS NATIONS STOOD, NO ONE WOULD.  AND THEY WEREN'T.  AND THEY WOULDN'T.  But then, there they were, in front of my face!

2.  Diane Wilson, now on day 40 of her Hunger Strike to stop yet another Deadly Source of GHG - Keystone XL pipeline.

...MAYBE, MAYBE, THE BEGINNINGS OF AN UNVIOLENT UPRISING!?!?!?  And if not?  You know what?  Too late anyway.(HERE, and HERE, and HERE)

So, my point above about the cancer being a God-send?  Well, it is just that it is helping in a really useful way to heighten what has been true for me for my entire adulthood - my acute awareness that Life is so excruciatingly Short; so much to do, sooooo little time.  Very clarifying.  Very joyful.

vid 'Possible Death Sentence. Some thoughts.' Loving

Gotta run and get some homeless-food-truck supper, and then I'll upload a video log I just shot here at the embassy.

Still limited on computer time.  Very cold tonight  here in DC and I'm working to dry out my stuff that got pretty wet in the deluge all night before I went to Christ House.  Probably things will settle down tomorrow and I'll have a little more time.

Video Log should be up by 8pm tonight, Thursday, here. 
http://youtu.be/EjIHp-i083E    Already shot, but needs time to upload.

Chk  back this link - this link, in about an hour.

***** Loving, here. 'My 'death sentence' yesterday? Your studying my book; this might be a good time.'  Loving

Hi.  I don't know much about these things, but I don't think an orange sized colon tumor is a good sign. I should know more next Wednesday.  Apt with the surgeon, then.  I'll guess they are doing a biopsy, but unsure.  I've for many decades operated in accord with an idea that came to me, but that Gandhi also captured well, "Learn as though you were going to live forever.  Live, strive, help, contribute, Love...] as though you were going to die tomorrow."  But with yesterday's news this, to my Joy, is taking on an added intensity till I know more.

It may be that my time is short.

EVERYTHING I've been given is in "Resurrecting Your Unviolent Warrior - a Personal Trainer."  See the tabs at this site  http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ for a free download of the book.  If you were ever to deeply study it, now might be a good time, in case I'll not be around a whole lot longer to discuss it with you after you were to use it for a while. It is up to you, but it is up to me to have raised the point.

Watch for today's video log, OR STARTING TOMORROW.  I have limited internet access time today, again.  Volunteering to stuff fund raising letters at Christ House today.   PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.

I suggest you subscribe to the daily email summary of the Start Loving blog - put your email address in the little window at the left hand side of the blog - here  http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ .

The ride is getting interesting.  Much for us to learn.
