" If the Church is to have saving power, it must embody Christ. He is the revolutionary force within it. The saving qualities of the Church depend on the question whether it has translated the personal life of Jesus Christ into the social life of its group and thus brings it to..... bear on the individual. If Christ is not in the Church, how does it differ from " the world " ? It will still assimilate its members, but it will not make them persons bearing the family likeness of the first-born son of God. Wherever the Church has lost the saving influence of Christ, it has lost its saltness and is a tasteless historical survival. Therewith all theological doctrines about it become untrue. Antiquity and continuity are no substitute for the vitality of the Christ-spirit. Age, instead of being a presumption in fa... 

You have to be prepared to die before you can begin to live.. Fred Shuttlesworth.

The love notion of God is the indispensable tool for accessing the mammalian soul for its moral Brilliance, discernment, courage, joy.

Oh, that Pearl worth any price? Your soul, and any other, that you can redeem from the tyranny of head and flesh.

Just as it can take a thousand years to grow a tree, so it can take hundreds or thousands of years to liberate the human Souls from the prison of civilization. Let's get on with it.

True wealth is only, only... the childlike soul in every human being, all but dead under the tyranny of head and flesh. Let's devote Our Lives to liberate it, for joy.

"we have an exaggerated idea of the importance of laws. Our legislative bodies are the greatest law factories the world has ever seen. Our zest for legislation blinds us to the subtle forces behind and beyond the law. Those influences which really make and mar human happiness and greatness are beyond the reach of the law. The law can compel a man to support his wife, but it cannot compel him to love her, and what are ten dollars a week to a woman whose love lies in broken shards at her feet ? The law can compel a father to provide....

12 sentences. THIS IS JESUS, the first I've ever seen it spoken, in all my years.

Beyond the question of economic distribution lies the question of moral relations; and beyond the moral relations to men lies the question of the religious communion with that spiritual reality in which we live and move and have our deep- est being — with God, the Father of our spirits. Jesus had V realized the life of God in the soul of man and the life of man > in the love of God. That was the real secret of his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism : he knew the Father. But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the real key to the secret of life, it was his highest social duty to share it and help others to gain what he had. He had to teach men to live as children in the presence of their Father, and no longer as slaves cringing before a despot. He had to show them that the ordinary life of selfishness and hate and anxiety and chafing ambition and covetousness is no life at all, and that they must enter into a new world of love and solidarity and inward contentment. There was no service that he could render to men which would equal that. All other help lay in concentric circles about that redemption of the spirit and flowed out from it. No comprehension of Jesus is even approximately true which fails to understand that the heart of his heart was religion. No man is a follower of Jesus in the full sense who has not through him entered into the same life with God. But on the other hand no man shares his life with God whose religion does not flow out, naturally and without ^ effort, into all relations of his life and reconstructs everything — that it touches. Whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus. Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over THE SOCIAL AIMS OF JESUS 49 the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.

Being friends with is a deadly empowerment of my head and flesh. For my freshman year in college this was miraculously avoided and I was friends to everyone. But then it stopped in the miracle ended and I didn't know why. Similar thing last night. I have more and more respect for the early monasteries. Going to create a place of sanity.

Resurrecting a human soul is of similar magnitude to unlocking the power of an atom. And more difficult. I believe this is a correct analogy. I believe this is what Jesus gave his life to, Gandhi, and others.

James may have found his North Star.

Beyond the question of economic distribution lies the question of moral relations; and beyond the moral relations to men lies the question of the religious communion with that spiritual reality in which we live and move and have our deep- est being — with God, the Father of our spirits.

The young Martin Luther King was not going to follow his father into the pulpit. He had little use for the Christian church. Then he read this book.

Become loving of each soul, more than your own life. Somehow, any hope at all is in this.

What I do, what I know, I want these to be what the world needs with me. But no, what I am, my level of competence as a soul, that is what is needed of me. Time to get to work. And you?

Eliminating all happiness and pleasure from my life is no sacrifice, but a making-of room for more joy of radical loving, Brotherhood.

The 3rd leg of soul in charge, joy, is that being visual?

James has made tantalizing progress it seems at unraveling the mystery of why freshman college year was a miracle for him and then evaporated. What were its components? What was going on? 

Recent posts have identified 2 elements that near certainly were happening here it is James was seeing people and souls, not as flesh and head. And valuing joy instead of pleasure.

Continued Head in flesh given respectful grateful input but not a vote. So, visualizations and I think Was what had the vote and the confidence and faith from James. He had been taught by his prior 18 years that head and flesh being given a vote if not the decisive vote was misery. 

a 3rd item has now emerged being visual primarily. Giving Primacy to what the eyes take in as opposed to what the mind deconstructs of that input. This makes sense in as much as it empowered Soul over head and flesh.

This is tentative, but worth mentioning and considering.

So impoverished, joyless, living life as one's own, instead of belonging to the poorest souls.

Progress. P2. I was blind and now I see the joy of soul in charge.

I don't remember when this sight was lost. It may be several years. I remember when I gained it and held onto it for many years. It was during my activism in Washington DC in roughly the 2008 time frame. This is well after I had left to the death grip of the material world but what happened was an extreme step. I don't remember the
