In the eyes of your soul it isn't whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game.

My teaching consists in doing the will of the spirit, which gives me life. He who does this will know that it is the truth, for he will not do what seems good to him, but what seems good to the spirit which lives within him. Your law of Moses is not the eternal law, and so those who follow it do not execute the eternal law, and do wro

It was never time to be political, but that's all we've done and look it where

it's gotten us. What if we tried doing the right thing? What if we took the consequences of doing the right thing, and then doing it again, and then doing it again, even if we knew we were going to fail? This is exactly what all the great souls in the history of the world have done, pleaded with us to do, died for us to do.

There is nothing left for us to lose materially except our denial and delusion. There is everything to be gained, in this process we would regain our souls. And this applies to any individual that makes the attempt.

How are we so stupid to believe that being kind and decent is only good for some reward in return, not joy in itself?

Lol. Remember, no good deed will go unpunished. Anonymous. Do good deeds anyway, for the infinite joy of it.

***** I can no longer see any objective reason to try and be good, to try and do good. By every objective measure..... more...

***** I can no longer see any objective reason to try and be good, to try and do good. By every objective measure not me or anyone else is going to help move the world in a better direction. We have so morally degenerated any massive change, any significant minor change, is objectively beyond hope. I would rather die then not try to be good, and to try and do good. This is so, for me, not because I believe in some life after this, or some sentient creator of us all. I adamantly believe in neither of those life destroying, all of creation destroying, fantasies. I simply crave the intrinsic gratification of attempting to be good, and attempting to do good. I believe that any of the joyful people throughout history, all of our moral icons throughout history, if they understood and had the benefit of today's science, psychology, and the wisdom of the ages, would etirely and profoundly agree with this position at which I have arrived regarding doing good for the ultimate, supreme, intrinsic joy of the attempt . If you love yourself, if there is anyone or anything on earth that you love, I implore you to consider deeply, from the standpoint of objective truth, that which I am saying, to do the same with your life, for yourself, and for anyone and everyone, any individual, that you might possibly have influence with.

Albert Einstein: The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty. The ordinary objects of human endeavour—property, outward success, luxury—have always seemed to me contemptible.

The North Star of Joy in my experience and study that we totally reject, obscure, belittle, bury... in our sickest of societies... is Meaning... Serving the Neediest from the Soul in Solidarity. I'm sharing my Treasure, not lecturing or preaching. All I'm saying, if you, or your loved ones, responds to Meaning, to Being of True Service, then I simply pray you make that of highest priority, and yes, I know that if you do, that makes things no easier at all, because we relentlessly destroy as a society the opportunity for near ANY OF US to lead meaningful lives... but to whatever small degree you can nudge in that direction... it cures a near infinite number of other issues spiritually, psychologically. Hugs. You are doing your best. Please find the peace of heart in that.

***** nd Avoid the tragic mistake I've made for a decade now. Don't try to find a strategy to win against the major world evils. It doesn't exist. They've already won. Not one in a million victims even realizes they are a victim. And worse, they want not to know. So what to do? Get in the way. Stay, in the way. For the humanity of it. For the life of it. For the joy of it. For the example you will be to others. Virtue is the only reward available in life, that is sufficient. Just do it. I shall. Wage love, or you die, at your own hand. ps. I did not say, go do something, go have a comfortable rally, go write a letter, go write an email, go spend hours on touchy feely do nothing Facebook posting, self-righteous ranting.... I said, get in the way. Stay in the way. Be sand in the gears, always sand in the gears.

***** nd 'I'm at a particular loss right now, for how to be of help to Humanity. I see zero hope of stopping Ecocide, Objectively. I see zero hope of stopping the Fascist Global Police State - too few fellow humans not already in The Matrix.
