I suspect my primary focus this next month will be writing
a book.
My personal Salvation from living Hell was helped by nothing more than books of "Quotations," Gandhi, Teresa of Calcutta, MKL Jr, Jesus, Tolstoy.... I don't yet grasp why that is, but somehow the truth that Saves can be contained in a sentence, or is is not the Truth that Saves.
I'm not sure I'll ever grasp why so much of my writing has been discrete sentences of the form '"xxx xxxx xxx" SL' written, as you've so often suffered from me. I'm amused by it. But I'm amused by most of my life these last 10 years. 50% of me feels like a bystander, and observer for the other 50% of me - watching with interest, wonder, confusion and amazement what I do, say, think....
So I think it is time for me to consolidate my writings thus far into something like "Back toward the Sustainable way of Being. Start Loving in Its Own Words." Maybe, some day, it will be a stepping stone for someone, as it has been for me. I expect to put it up and leave it up on the internet.
I invested literally everything I had and was in the Nov election - a decisive final battle of the Civil War, and the North lost - never really fought, actually; just laid back and got raped and plundered. So, I lost; and it is exactly what was needed from me. But now it is time to figure and lead to where humanity needs to go now. NOW.
A couple of things that came out of my head and fingers this morning:
"Every $ you spend creates or destroys someone's meaningful job." SL
"Western Culture is Terminal now. A New Way of Being's Salvation, or there is none." SL
"The purpose of Life is to help the neediest Live. Period." SL
"Start Loving; Everything less is Genocide." SL
"Every Heroic act of Love is activism. Nothing else is." SL
"The purpose of Death, Cancer is to give pleasure to me and mine." SL
I suspect (but am not certain, and don't care) there are many more months and years for me here at the vigil - I sense it is massively powerful work for me, tho it would appear to most, otherwise. But mentally, I think I'm seeing that the societal current order is Terminal, and the termination is so much at hand, that I need to move significantly from the role I've been playing of making the current system change, to being a more deliberate tip of the spear in terms of creating the new way of being for those who survive the pending total demise of the current civilization.
