[Updated comments in post] The most hopeful book for any individual or group wanting to live joy in this material hell unfolding.

Free download archive.org
But even with this Divine book unless one can find in themselves the difference between Joy and pleasure, loving, and lusting, respectively, they are unlikely to make any progress. But if they can find this they are unlikely to be able to avoid progress.

Morning, and Sorokin, along with all the great Souls except for Jesus, did not understand this.

Loving to propagate for joy, being loving to propagate for joy, is the Supreme state of being and Sorokin seems to almost see this but not quite. If you don't hold on to this you will get lost in his analytical brilliance.

However, catastrophic this book is likely to be for the reader that does not take the step that Sorokin seems to never take. And he did not have the benefit of the last 20 years Neuroscience discoveries. The super-conscious is the mammalian brain, the limbic system, the soul. Loving is the essence of what it is, and what it does. It all comes down to as simple as learning that the joy that the soul in charge gives us is the Supreme Human Experience. And tragically the emotional intelligence of the human species gets lower with every year that goes by.

But if you can bring these two things, above, to the reading of this bo can transform you enter nabal you to transform others as maybe no other book can do. ok

Sorokin. Supraconscious / Soul /Mamalian brain... “ What, you ask, is my method in writing and elaborating my large and lumbering things? ” writes Mozart. “ I can, in fact, say nothing more about it than this: I do not know myself and can never find out. When I am in a particularly good condition . . . then the thoughts come to me in a rush, and best of all. Whence and how, I do not know and cannot learn.” Further on he describes how “ the crumbs ” spontaneously combine with one another until they assume a finished form in his head. “ All the finding and making goes on in me as in a vivid dream.” Finally, he starts to write and since it is ready in his mind “ it goes pretty quickly on to paper.”...

.... Tchaikovsky... "Perhaps such moments are responsible, in the works of the Great Masters, for those places where the organic coherence fails, and where one can trace artificial coherence, seams and patches. But this is unavoidable. If that spiritual condition of the artist called inspiration . . . should continue uninterrupted, the artist could not survive a single day. . . . The strings would snap and the instrument would fly to pieces. One thing, however, is indispensable: the main idea of the piece, together with a general outline of the separate parts, must not be found through searching, but must simply appear as a result of that supernatural, incomprehensible and never-analyzed power called inspiration....

It may take thousands of years to purify humans of hating, war-making. Will we ever start the work?

Sorokin, Ways Power of Love, the book that could have saved the species, and still might save an individual or group.

Only a notable infusion of the love relationship into this society can save it from its further degeneration into either compulsory totalitarian society or chaotic human flotsam. To sum up.....

Only a notable infusion of the love relationship into this society can save it from its further degeneration into either compulsory totalitarian society or chaotic human flotsam. To sum up.... : the love relationship is not only the supreme form of social relations, but it is an absolute necessity for the harmonious existence and survival of any social group. Without it no good social life is possible. Plato and Aristotle were quite right in their statement that the true friendship or love is the most vital stuff of all true social relationships. Often overlooked, this function of love shows its unique power in social life and in man’s historical process. 8

That I'm treating the entire community of my would be torturer, killer, is likely the hugest gift to me these weeks of epiphanies.


Sorokin: Since the real curative agent in mental disease is love in its various forms, this explains why many eminent apostles of love have been able to cure the mental disorders of iegions of persons, though these altruists did not have any special psychiatric training. Their sublime love and supraconscious wisdom have been an excellent substitute for the “ little or no love ” and the professional training of ordinary psychiatrists. It is true that for a successful cure of especially serious....

James best friend, coach, personal trainer. A work in progress, my entire adulthood now.

Click photograph for higher-resolution image.

Several days ago a friend to ask about a slightly prior evolution of this posted last week. These are some thoughts I shared with this friend....

Friend wrote: also, regarding the scoring system, I do identify with a lot of your personal goals - several are things I'm starting to be more aware of myself. I like this. do you score yourself daily?

James:  It is fluid, at times more fluid than it should be, and at times too rigid. It is a tool not my master and I try to keep that in balance. And it is fluid as to the contents. It is an invaluable invaluable invaluable invaluable for me tool for clarifying what I need to be focused on and to increase that Focus. As to the frequency that also is fluid as I learn What I need to prioritize and whether I'm making sufficient progress and whether something has become gladly habitual. This is a new juncture and a new collection of tools for me so there's a lot of fluidity right now. I'm learning to use the tool at this juncture to help me learn and become useful more quickly.

About everyday go through the list ask myself the question and how I'm doing, 1 is not working James, 10 is a you got it nailed man. I'm really drowning now as you can see by the low numbers but I'll survive because I now have the benefit of looking at the direction that I need to be swimming. And I do feel progress happening and I think soon there will be a fairly rapid rise as Things become muscle memory. At least it has always worked that way in the past and I'm quite sure it will this time.
The yellow is added emphasis so when I scan through this it catches my eye where I'm really flailing.

throughout my adulthood I have time after time hurled myself into new situations and eventually I begin to learn how I need to grow myself, shape myself, to be the solution that I need to be. And a tool of this form with different concepts and verbage emerges and is invaluable. It works to help make the intangible tangible, workable, and improvable. And it is rightly said that what gets attention tends to improve. The numbers is a simple rating one, low, 10, hi. But no previous life juncture have I found my rating so consistently low. But I take great encouragement that I feel I have zeroed in on the things where I need to improve and I'm doing the best I can.

Vlog. James most desperate lifelong riddle unexpectedly solved this morning? Will spend the rest of his years unpacking this.

.. . The Christian right is a “crisis cult.”...



... These believers find in Donald Trump a reflection of themselves, a champion of the unfettered greed, cult of masculinity, lust for violence, white supremacy, bigotry, American chauvinism, religious intolerance, anger, racism and conspiracy theories that define the central beliefs of the Christian right....

... The greatest moral failing of the liberal Christian church was its refusal, justified in the name of tolerance and dialogue, to denounce the followers of the Christian right as heretics. By tolerating the intolerant it ceded religious legitimacy to an array of con artists, charlatans and demagogues and their cultish supporters. It stood by as the core Gospel message—concern for the poor and the oppressed—was perverted into a magical world where God and Jesus showered believers with material wealth and power....

... Imperialism and war became divine instruments for purging the world of infidels and barbarians, evil itself. Capitalism, because God blessed the righteous with wealth and power and condemned the immoral to poverty and suffering, became shorn of its inherent cruelty and exploitation.

Resurrection of the Soul, I think. One of the few great scenes in cinema.

Important note. After the clips do not miss the quotations written Below on this post.

But, Three:

"... My mother said I broke her heart...but it was my integrity that was important. Is thatso selfish? It sells for so little, but it's all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us...but within that inch we are free...."

"Happiness is the most insidious prison of all."

"I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish . Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us."

"Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility

Update. If I said nothing else to you.... The complete, law of Love, law of violence. L Tolstoy.

I do know that about Tolstoy. No life and writings of Tolstoy, then, no Gandhi (Tolstoy's, the kingdom of God is within you) and quite possibly no Martin Luther King jr. ( the law of love and the law of violence L Tolstoy) 

Important correction, update. Where's the document now in front of me visually everything from chapter 12 or 13 on word has a very high percentage of correctness. The entire book is worth reading. And also the appendix is extremely helpful.

This is just a JPEG. The video is below. 



[Those that] realize the true sense of Christ's doctrine can no longer seri ously believe that man's mission here below is to employ the short period between his birth and death in making speeches to legislative assemblies, in judging.....

The law of love and the law of violence. Leo Tolstoy is writing two years before he died approaching 100. Download free at archives.org. It is the last two chapters that contain mostly truth although not near clearly that Joy is the motive.

[Those that] realize the true sense of Christ's doctrine can no longer seri ously believe that man's mission here below is to employ the short period between his birth and death in making speeches to legislative assemblies, in judging.... his brothers in the courts, in capturing them, in locking them up and assassinating them, or throwing bombs at them, in taking away their property; or to bother as to whether Finland, India, Poland, Korea, are annexed to what is called Russia, England, Prussia or Japan; or to seek to liberate these annexed countries by force and to be prepared to kill each other in quantities for that purpose. It is impossible for a man of our time to be ignorant in his inner consciousness of the madness of such acts.

You'll never ever encounter an individual. Only the group that they influence. How you treat them matters.

This could save me.

James recent depression largely a backlash to his Online addiction?

James has the ability to enjoy indulging in chugging some beer in the evening. Periodically he has indulged this most recently about two months ago. It takes him a while to realize how empty it leaves him feeling. And when he realizes that he can
