'Voluntary Poverty, pursuit of suffering - Perversions.' SL

Friend, This morning, first time in weeks I've been to that food kitchen, mail drop, your kind card was waiting, and the seeds. It is indeed a lovely quote, and much more significant is your kindness, perceptiveness behind it.  [Quote about how the seed, in losing itself, gives life to the plant, and the larva thereby becomes the butterfly.]

This morning on the 20 minute walk from my sidewalk bed, to this homeless food place several notions were running through my head, all around a central theme - THE central theme - Salvation IS Devoting Ourselves Totally to Our Global Neediest - truly, enSlaving ourselves as Jesus speaks of so often.

Is e=mcsqd true because Einstein said it? Same with Jesus. But Einstein saw what others did not, and same with Jesus.

You’re so thoughtful note brought further to mind - Salvation IS Devoting Ourselves Totally, OUT OF LOVE, SOLIDARITY, BROTHERHOOD to Our Global Neediest.

A major gift to me within recent weeks, probably just after Christ-mass as I was studying Jesus' words. I'd seen two places where Jesus distills for us the entire, complete, whole Gospel - Good news - The story of the Good Samaritan, and the Two Commandments - Love God, Love your neighbor. But this Christ-mass I was given the present of seeing the third place he does this. It is scripture I've long loved because it was central to one of Dr. King's sermons, one of his last I think - Drum Major Instinct it may have been called, but that was its central theme. In it, he cites how the mother of James and John came to Jesus and said, 'Uh, Jesus, I'd really like for James and John to sit at your left hand and your right.' 'That is not mine to give,' Jesus told her. 'Whoever is the Servant of ALL (ALL) [ALL].' Duh, but I just hadn't seen how total, complete, sufficient this was. It is the entire deal.

Uh, Start, what's this all about? Where's this coming from?????

The albino in Da Vinci Code is the church - so perverted, so twisted. That’s not my point. But why, WHY, with so many virtuous things said, mentioned, talked about...? How could it be soooooo far from Jesus? The Saints, what we are all born to be, are generally materially poor. Ok. But a vow of poverty? They often suffer physically. But pursue suffering? I've seen this conflict since I was a child, and been deeply, deeply troubled and alarmed by it - not by the suffering, not by the poverty, but by the deliberate pursuit as sanctioned by the 'chruch.' NO, I thought, this is convoluted, this is perverted.

START, THE POINT!!!! There is so much good intent, truth, beauty in the quote you sent me, and sooooo many like it throughout the ages, from all traditions. But as much as anything they are actually the cause, or a major contributor to our being soooooo lost, perverted, convoluted. Huh? WE LOSE, WE'VE LOST THE PERSPECTIVE, THE WHY, THE MEANING. Maybe on purpose. Probably, sick tho it is, on purpose. Voluntary pursuit of poverty is a sick, perverted, lustful thing to do. NOT an exercise of the Heart, our Father's Kingdom. Voluntary pursuit of suffering is a sick, perverted, lustful, pleasure seeking thing to do. NOT an exercise of the Heart, our Father's Kingdom. Letting go of one's life, like the 'seed' does, FOR ITSELF, FOR ONESELF, the same. Moving from being a crawling thing, to a butterfly, FOR ITSELF, FOR ONESELF, the same!!!!

THE POINT, START, THE POINT!!!!!!!!! Every cell, every organ in your body, if it is healthy, from the instant it is conceived, till the instant it expires, IS 1 MILLION % DEVOTED, ENSLAVED, SERVANT OF... THE BODY. Unless and until it chooses Cancer as a 'better way.' Well, if it does that, it still metabolizes, it still does 'cell' stuff, 'organ' stuff, BUT IT HAS TOTALLY LOST THE REFERENCE, THE ONLY REFERENCE, FOR WHICH IT WAS CREATED, THE ONLY REFERENCE THAT CAN GIVE IT'S LIFE JJJOOOOYYYYFFFFUUUUULLLL MEANING!!!! - THE WELLBEING OF THE BODY -

Saints tend to be poor, not for itself, but because they have RETAINED the meaning for which we all are born - devotion to the Neediest parts of the body. They tend to 'suffer' (tho they pay the suffering no mind) for the same reason. 'Dying' as a seed does goes from being twisted perversion, cult like stuff, to magnificent, beautiful, exquisite when it goes from being a thing in itself, to the way it gives life to the Body, and same with the larva, caterpillar, and butterfly. Cancer, or Devoted Tissue. The form can be near identical. But except when the form is entirely, totally, completely tied to the purpose - the wellbeing of the Body, and hence, it's neediest, it is Cancer, putrid, deadly, fascinating Cancer.

OMG Start, who do you think you are? I send you a nice note and you give me this lecture? Do you think I don't know all this? I know I didn't, and as recently as 3-4 days ago, I, a pretty advanced practitioner FORGOT, and in hours wound up Lost, in the Depths of Despair. And then I remembered, and quickly the True Beauty of the Seed, of the Butterfly took prominence and the pain receded out of consciousness.

'I am Christian, therefore not A christian.' SL

I know when I'll come to resolution on this.  I thought maybe it was a settled issue for me when several months ago I found myself publishing to the effect that 'Yes, I am a Christian.  I hope someday I meet another.'  But recent experience tells me that 'A christian' is just too far beyond redemption.  Christian, Christ-like, is not.  In recent weeks I've discovered, learned, and posted that 'christianity' is the Opposite of Jesus' religion of brotherhood - christianity is a 'religion' of the Head and Flesh, and Jesus brotherhood, universal family, insane humanity... is the religion of the Heart, by whatever name.  Christ is the Spirit of Love, Brotherhood, Universal Family, but christianity, what Paul, John and others invented to replace Jesus teachings, which they never 'got,' which they did not have 'Faith' in, is perfectly defined as the dogma, rituals, magical beliefs... and is the opposite of Christ - the Spirit, the Religion of Love.

I Am Christian, and Therefore, not A christian, tho they are my brothers and sisters all.

D85 40H 'SL's Planning, Plans, Goals, Expectations....' SL

In the largely despicable, foolish, cultish, non-integrity field of psychology there are a few gems from time to time in this potentially most important of areas, given as the only universe you or I will ever know is the inside of our own nervous system. 

Maybe you know of the methodology for typing people by four classifications - amiable,expressive, analytical, I'm not remembering what the third [driver],  what the fourth is.  Well, Gen. Eisenhower was typed as an analytical, and I've been typed, correctly, the same way.  We're extremely slow learners because every new thing we learn we work to fit in with everything else that we know, changing what we already know or enhancing it.  Very labor-intensive, time intensive process.  But it's what, the way, I want to be.  I believe there is truth to be known, and it's very complex.  Although much less so than one might think.  There are essential truths to be known, they must,they are wholes, they must be understood as a whole.  This is how I work, and in my measurement of attempting to be accountable to eternity's children, including today's, what they need from me, and need for us to ‘get it,’ to understand how things work, and to fix the things that are crippling their future based on truth based on how things work, and can work. 

Well. Eisenhower said 'plans are worthless but planning is everything.'  'Plans are worthless.  Planning is everything.'  Now he was a general.  I guess he was, certainly the highest Allied Cmdr. I don't know the rank system.  So not that it was a luxury afforded him, but was in fact afforded to him that his job ultimately was integral with planning.  So he was freed from on-field command.  He was freed from living in the actual trenches so to speak.

And reflecting on myself after a dozen years of devoting myself, donating myself, no longer prostituting myself, devoting myself to our global neediest, I'm only now getting into serious planning.  I've been in serious study, serious reflection, and serious attempts to help do my job which is to work for these children, and it's your job too.  But it's only now, in recent days, the last several weeks that I'm moving into serious planning; it's tremendously helpful.  I don't look askance on the fact that it's taken me so long to get here, there have been street fights I’ve had to fight, there've been things I've had to learn before I had the ingredients for planning. But I, but I'm into it now and oh boy is it having the chance of accelerating who I am, what I need to bring the world very significantly, it is,  Not that this chart would necessarily show it.

 Toward the middle of the chart  maybe you can make out there are some  places that have a bluer, clear blue area, and elsewhere, well the way I coded this chart, it's that those sure blue would be a five on a scale of  5 to -5 .  This chart is about, black areas are -5, indicating a total void, total void in my hopefulness of life, of providing life, cultivating life.  Sure blue would be wow,  I've really arrived.  So this chart from right to left,  these are multitime per day  readings I take on myself, this dashboard.  There's been a general movement from being useless, or toxic. There aren't any black areas on the left, all-black areas, there aren't any dark red areas, both of which are in the negative to neutral//worthless; no bright blue on the far left, I got a long way to go, but it's trending in the right direction. 

You plan in your life, whether it's how get to the airport on time, or have enough money for your child's education, or your retirement, and on and on and on. You plan the things that are important to you.    Well, what's important to me is the future of eternity's children, and how I can best be the miracle they need me to be toward that end, and well, I thank God that I'm in that planning stage finally.  So the far right is, I don't know, in some respects where I've been these last dozen years, slightly helpful zeros, ones, on a scale of -5 and +5. Now, I'm in kind of solid plus 2, 3 territory.

And the yellow areas on the left here, on this dashboard of mine, are my best articulation of my daily and monthly goals now, and the other items relate to those goals, and if I'm highly focused, and dedicated to all these items, then the likelihood of the yellow areas becoming reality by the end of the year, and staying significant reality in the meantime, increase dramatically.  So, the first yellow area being Dashboarding, being prayerful in The Lord's Prayer which properly prayed, which no one does, but I do now,  thanks to Tolstoy, it's almost another vehicle for planning, for being on plan, being on task, for optimally spending what I am, which is my time, as you are your time, by the way, nothing else.  Dasboarding, and the Lord’s Prayer help me target where I want to spend every second, every breath. 

The second being a second yellow area, talks about a book, video blogging, broadcasting.  God damn this twisted notion that Jesus Was the Way. Jesus didn't say was ‘the’ way, not in his words not in his deeds. He said there was a way, He was the only one living it, in that sense He was The way, He is the way.  As Gandhi said, 'be the change you wish to see in the world;' meaning, you must be the way, you must be the solution.  So others can see it, live it. So this second yellow area has to do with me being and being visible, as this Way.

Video blogging, the book, are both ways of driving me toward clarity, and of being that Way, actualization, what  Jesus talked, and walked.  It's not true because He said it, it's true because it's True.  Jesus spoke of burning brightly.  Putting the lampstand were it will be seen well.  Washington DC is pretty visible place so I drive myself toward spending as much time as possible in front of the White House, so that I more become that that lampstand, provided that these other pieces can take place.

And my fast, the hunger strike. is a way of burning brightly, and as a brother and sister to eternity's children, and to you, of putting myself in the way of the harm, to shield eternity's children.  

And clinically obsessed, that being a healthy thing, in this case, with Derrick Jensen and his book, Deep Green Resistance, and I'm determined to do a rewrite, edit, of that book, for the benefit of the authors and for the benefit of those who otherwise will head off in a deadly, unintended direction. 

Next goal in yellow is to achieve and manitain a fast, relentless onslaught; being the change we must see in the world is being the producing at a frenetic pace, not for the sake of being frenetic, the producing to be contributing at a frenetic pace.  Apple Corporation is a convenient example, they produce extraordinary output at a frenetic pace.  I wish they'd stop, it distracts us from the world's issues.  Objectively their value is because they produce what's valued at a frenetic pace.  That's what I must be and you must be.

An additional element is to work into a schedule these next two months as much time left, as much on a daily basis as I think I can, a massive amount of learning.  I've ammassed many valuable audio books when on vigil, not doing these other things, hopefully in front of the White House  I can be studying history's greatest minds, history's greatest souls,  weaving those fibers into my own; becoming what we need to see in the world – all of us.

D85 40H 'You're handing a wasteland to Eternity's Kids. U r OK with that?' SL

It's really not my purpose to harangue.  If I believed you are really okay with handing eternity's children a wasteland,  including today's young people, I suspect that except an say no more.  I think you just haven't to looked, I think he haven't thought; maybe deliberately but nonetheless.

 I didn't read the article but a headline in USA Today, that I saw in this coffee shop, in 20 years the Bengal tiger will be extinct.   The science is clear that between 50 and 250 species go extinct today.  Today. 50 to 250 went extinct yesterday.  And at our current pace this will increase,  is increasing by little bit every day, instead of decreasing and stopping, which we could do this. 

I can't believe that you won't do everything in your power, devote everything you have everything you are to stopping this.  Think of the movies they tried to show us where we're headed from the tragically real scenes in The Matrix, Total Recall, remember that scene on Mars, Avatar, Silent Running,  Soylent Green...  These weren't idle entertainments.  The authors were seeing where we were going and desperately trying to show us, think about them. This is what were we are now, it's not a movie.  We are handing this off to eternity's children.  Eternity's children won't know   what dolphins swimming in the sea are, what reefs are, what it is not to be going to war over food, what it is not to deluged with wars over what land is left that hasn't disappeared under 6, 18, 30, 38 foot sea level rise.  Eternity's children will never know what Earth was like with 2 million species, roughly what we have today.   At our current pace by 2050,  half of them will be gone. 

I can't believe you're okay with this.  I can't believe.  I believe you want to devote everything you are and everything you have to stopping this.   And I'll keep sharing such thoughts, and doing everything I can to awaken you from the affloholism that's enabling you  to allow this to happen, until I believe it's really, really want you in your heart, what your character wants.

D85 40H 'Secret Service Woke me, for Dinner.' SL

It's pretty unbelievable I'll admit, and I'm watching for what I'm missing, why the so-called activists love to target our men and women in uniform. I'm pretty comfortable, it's just because they want someone to tantrum about.  Maybe they're seeing  something that I'm not. I'm sure that's not the case. 

I settle in at nine at night on my patch of sidewalk because we homeless need to be up before six and scurry away like roaches so that people don't get upset.  About 10 I heard this voice calling fairly loudly in my direction.  Something about, well I'm not even sure, and I just assumed it was police based on the tone. I was correct, Secret Service.  More specifically, he wanted to see if I wanted half of my, of his, uneaten dinner, couple of beautiful pieces of chicken n some huge french fries, potato sticks really. 

He indicated surprise at seeing who the covered the up sleeping bag covered lump was.  It was an officer hmm, let's see, late 30s early 40s, former Air Force as I recall.  We chatted many times, very different views.  He's very right wing, always very respectful of each other, and with some mutual regard and respect. 

So whether it was by accident that it was me that he found, It's pretty well-known where I sleep by the Secret Service, but in any case, what genuine kindness.  So this guy was on his way to work and would be working all night late night shift.  It would've made perfect sense for them to keep that half of the dinner for mid-shift; could take a snack on it. Probably throw it in the microwave and warm it up, but no, he wanted to give it to a homeless person or me.  The Secret Service here in DC at least, these are the insane humane or borderline insane humane, fairly simple bighearted guys, I know they often, if not constantly extend genuine kindnesses to the homeless, almost never a hint of condescension, practically never.  Toward me, quite the opposite.  Guys I've never seen, as I'm headed toward my nightly roost, just the kindest , most respectful 'hello' or 'have a good night.'  'Be safe.' 

Even the few activists that I think are worthy of the name, that I know  and respect, have some respect for me,  don't get my view, and yet you know what, the two that I hold, the three that I hold in the highest regard are all prior military and yet they don't get it.

About our only admirable citizens are men and women in uniform. Sure, there are some thugs and in some parts the country they're, they're almost all thugs, the Nazi mentality, thuggish,  I should say, redeemable in most cases such a large percentage have taken the job because they want to do good, the best way they know how because no one else has shown them a different way. 

So it was the nicest meal  I've had in quite a while.  A fellow that works with the city homeless outreach arrange for me to get on food stamps about a month and a half ago.  I'm now taking about 6-700 calories a day, whatever.  Well this past week at CVS, they accept food stamps for food items, Progresso soups have been four for five dollars and my food stamp allotment is six dollars a day.  I figure I donate about $1000 worth of day in, in uh, time and effort,  America and humanity.  So, I'm totally fine with accepting six dollars a day, seeing as if I did it for decades that wouldn't make a dent in the taxes  that I've paid.  Pretty interesting, very cold today, excuse me, it feels very cold mid to upper 40s, without any body fat I feel it much more than I used to.

D85 40H 'THE Cure, Hope, Joy - WAGING LOVE.' SL - 0002

If I repeat myself friends bear with me.  This is the best; it was only three or four days ago that the glimmerings of this smacked me in the face. 

Waging  love is the universal cure.  To think anything less is madness, to quibble over what I've just said is madness.  The trivial exceptions are the proof of the of the rule - waging love is the universal, essentially perfect cure.   Of what, Start, what you raving about here - are you talking about me or the world.  Yes, yes   Wait a minute, are you talking about my depression, are you talking about my anxiety, are you talking about endemic global disease, are you talking about poverty, are you talking about climate Armageddon, come on man get specific.  Yes.  Yes.  Yes, clinically, scientifically objectively.  That's what I'm talking about the same thing is the universal, perfect cure to me wanting I new coat, me aching that girl that I wish would be my girlfriend?  My deep desire  that we stop destroying the planet?  Waging love is the perfect, only, hopeful cure for all those?  Yes, obviously!   Hey, listen, if I'm the last one to get it, you won't hurt my feelings by telling me.  

Oh, in my head, heck, I wrote it , I had it tattooed on my cheeks fours ago.  An article on my first hunger strike in the Philadelphia Inquirer10 years ago ended with a quote from me along the lines that - 'our entire goal is the spirit of compassion reigning' - well that's 'wage love' by another word,  yes in my head,  I got it, and that's why I arrived here; but now I get it in my being because I experience it, second in and and second out.  This is the gospel.  This is the entire good news.  What room is there for anything else?  This is the galactic lottery.  This is the personal medicine chest with every pharmaceutical.  

Start, Start, get your feet on the ground here.  I'm homeless.  I don't have a job.  Almost everyone thinks I'm nuts; by the way I'm speaking of me, but I'm also going through the fears that you've had and can have.  I have no healthcare, or I can lose it.  I don't know where my next meal is gunna come from,  don't you understand how potentially depressing all that is?  again I'm playing through the fears that you have, and certainly I've had.  Yes, yes, yes...  Waging love, think of that word 'waging,' with all your might, everything you have everything you are.  Of course that drives out all of those things, totally, when you totally wage love.  Think about please, pause, pause the video.  Think about it, reflect on and let that be the start of your reflection.  Of course! 

By the way, if you're, I don't know, if you're insulted by me, 'Start,  I totally get this!'  Okay, but please understand I'm not talking down to you.  I'm telling you that this is smacking me between the eyes.  In essence, for the first time, within the last week, so at least be patient with me then.  I'm just getting this despite all my efforts.   Of course it is the perfect cure for what ails us personally.  All of it.  The only world, the only universe you and I will ever know  is the inside of our nervous system.  That's the truth, that's the fact.  That's the reality.  Everything else is illusion,  issusion that can make a big, big difference, that we should care.   The truth is, if you cure what's inside you, it's the only place cure ultimately can happen. 

But wait a minute Start, you said it's the cure for all the world's significant ills.  Of course it is.  What does it mean to wage love?  It means to live out of conscience, to live out of heart which only knows selflessness, which only knows itself is one cell in the body of humanity.  And when you're one cell in the body of humanity where you want to focus everything you have, and everything you are?  At the part that's most suffering.  So you can wallow in the misery?  So you can have the transcendent joy of trying to fix it.  All the heroes we  go to movie theaters to watch; or go to church, sometimes to hear about it.  My God, we've been taught by this sick society we want to watch them, soo that we vicariously don't have to be them.  No, we're drawn to watch them because innately that's where our sole  knows we want to be.  Do it! We  just might save this space ship.  We're almost certainly not going to.   Please, get this!   You will influence those around you, and they'll hate you for it, until they start to love you for it.   And even if they don't, you'll know that you are fulfilling your duty to them.

D85 40 'Marching to Block Hell's Gates With My Life.' (2) SL

 
The form of this march for me, to Hell's gates, to block it with my body, for as long as I can,  is to resume my zero net calorie hunger strike, taking vitamins, 0 cal electrolytes, and nothing else.  Starting at midnight last night, and staying on that until I arrive at the gates of Hell, at Death's Door,  which I expect to be election day, a year prior, so somewhere around November 3 [6th],  and then hold there by resuming maintenance calories 4 to 800  cal a day, and staying at skeleton level for as many, as many weeks, or months as I can.  It's my expectation that this the best way I can serve; this is my best chance to stop eternity's young from being stuck through Hell's gates by our criminal, disgusting, insane denial and apathy.  It's my best way to show others the level of devotion, the level of commitment that giving eternity's young a future will require.  No I have no illusions that will make any difference.  I have the certainty that it could, and that's enough.  I have a certainty that anything else I can contemplate is too little too late.  I have the certainty that any historical models that I can think of, contemporary and going back as far as forever are too little too late.  We have a window to hit, turning this upcoming election into, not so meaningless decision of who the next captain of the Titanic is,  but the successful nonviolent commandeering of the Titanic, steering it away from the carbon iceberg, the insane, disgusting,  corrupt, entirely corrupt  US fossil fuel energy policy, and steering it toward a future for our children, which is implementing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 million wind towers on our midwest farms, and northeast, and other places in the country.   Implementing concentrated solar plants in our southwest desert, and probably most challenging because of all lthe land-rights issues, right of way issues, implementing a low loss grid, a DC grid, which can distribute this renewable energy and in the process of distributing these variable sources of energy, as they appear in a discreet location, when they're brought together on a low loss grid, which is technically a nonissue,  this grid is burried by the way, so that it is not the eyesore that today's high loss transmission lines are, that it makes the variable feature of the energy in a discreet location a nonissue because as the nationwide sources  together they cancel each other out. 

We don't have a technology problem.  We haven't had a technology problem for 15 years.  We don't have energy problem -  200 times as much sun, eight times as much wind, at least, as we need to replace every lump of coal, and every drop of oil. 

We don't have a financial problem, unless you consider it a financial problem to stop charging our children, sticking them with 80% of today's energy bill.  So when you pay $3.50 a gallon of gas at the pump, you're sticking them with $11.50.  When you pay the electricity bill, you're sticking them with three times as much cost with, every bill you pay, every day, every week, every month,  the costs are being accumulated, friends. You're sticking them with the bill.  So if you consider that a financial problem,then we have  a financial problem.   Otherwise what we have is an accounting scam problem.  The bill is going to be paid, the remediation costs are going to be paid; the implementation costs are going to be paid.  We've hit peak oil, and without question, in another 10-15 years the climate cataclysm will be so clear that we'll stop using coal, but then it will be too late to stop the tsunami, the killed her storm surge, of Arctic methane and rain forest carbon, from deluging spaceship Earth destroying it's life support systems forever, irreparably forever.  So you can stop screwing your kids, you can stop sticking them with three quarters of your energy costs,  Or you can hide bloody, criminal language such as energy tax.  The way to do in Good's eyes, in Sanity's eyes is to shift our tax dollars from income to carbon use, and the money collected from those that use more than their share of carbon is evenly distributed to all taxpayers. It is a net zero impact on your taxes,  and it will be done over the next 10, 15 years, gradually, year-by-year, so that those who want to adjust can adjust. 

I'll bet truckers were hurt in World War II; I'll bet that everyone except the God damned warlords were hurt in World War II financially, but we did it, and we were proud of do it.  We realized it was sane to do it, and we did it from our hearts, and we did it with love, and we did it with passion.   Now it's our turn; now it's my turn. 

So I anticipate the next 22 or so days to be on net 0 cal hunger strike.  I expect to have with me some bottles of Ensure, because it is not my intention to wind up incapacitated and unable to fulfill this role.  So if an emergency, a medical emergency arises then I expect to consume that so that I can continue in my work, and when I find that I am physically at deaths door, which I expect to be somewhere around 22-23 days from now, that I will take 4-6-80 cal a day, the BRAT diet of  bananas, rice, applesauce, toast sole director of so as not shock my intestines too much, my system too much, and I'll maintian the right  right with my near-dead body to block Death's door, to prevent our children from being stuffed through.  And you need to figure out how to same, or stay out of my way.  If you need help it's at my blog and secondarily at my YouTube channel.  And if you conclude as I have  that you need to take everything you have, and everything you are, and march to death's door, and block it with your body, and you exhaust the resources that are provided in this Start Loving blog, and at my YouTube Chan, then yours will be the only inquiries via Facebook or my Yahoo e-mail account, start_loving@yahoo.com, that I'll reply to; I don't have time to play.  I don't have time to have you feel good with token efforts; I don't have time to help you feel good with your apathy, with your cowardice.  You're my brothers and sisters all but this will take everything I have, and everything I am, and I'll not wast it on those who cower on the sidelines, including my brothers and sisters of faith who have chosen to use the most courageous of all human beings as an excuse for their cowardice. Oh, armageddon is coming, there's nothing we can do; we just need to get ready.   That is so Antichrist; that is so un-Christlike.  He was the first to march his body to deaths door and to block it with his life , to Hell's gates and to block it with His life.  Love as I have loved;  it's who knows how many people that came after Him that gave us all this garbage about Armageddon, and its inevitable, and all the bull shit, not Jesus.  So if you want to be a Paulian;  if you want to be a Jamesian;  if you want to be a  Johnian fine.  But my God, find the courage to at least admit what you're doing.  You don't like what Jesus had to say, you don't the courage that he showed you don't like the selflessness that he showed.  So go be a  Paulian,  go be a Lukian, go be a Matthewian, but stop calling yourself a Christiann, my God, how Satanic, to be part of part of obscuring the greatest hope that in Gandhi's eyes, we were ever given; the life and teachings of the man, Jesus; not his bling followers up through today.

SL B'Day Plea - 'START BEING GREEDY. DO UNTO THE LEAST ALL, ALL, ALL.' SL

[Note - Graphics to be inserted]  This is much on my mind  today because if you watch me the last couple of weeks you've seen me constructively obsess over, do I stay in DC, do I stay on hunger strike, do I hunger strike walking around the country trying to find signs of life...?  I was right to do this but I was wrong to think that what I do ultimately matters. 

What matters is whether I drive myself to the top of this pyramid - High skill, high challenge, High Pursuit.  Gandhi never said it's what you do that matters, he said full effort is full success. King said it never, never said it matters who you are what you do.  He said 'everyone can be great because everyone can serve.' Jesus never said it it matters whether you're a pastor or carpenter a teacher.  He said,' do onto others, all you would have them do unto you. 

This is the one answer to every important question in life - how do I feel good, how do I help my family, how do I save humanity, how do I give humanity a future? How do I escape my depression,how do I escape, escape my sadness.  How do I have a positive life, what do I guide my child to....  Every important question has the same answer -  Do unto the least of these our global neediest all you would have them do unto you. 

Friends, uh,  some of you sense that I know some very important things; that's my sense of it.  And, how pitiful if I didn't, I thought the essential truths could be found and deeply known and lived, so for more than a dozen years I've made that the entire focus of my life and unless I'm a dishonest man or insane, and I'm neither, then without question,  I was correct. There are essential truths to know, they are not the essential small 't' "truths" lived by our society.   I know them, I get them, I live them, and they're as old as our DNA. They're as old as the universe but we don't live them.  We don't recognize them.  We trivialize them, and  thereby we are defying the truth of how things work, which Gandhi understood to be God, quite correctly. 

God, whatever God is, is what rules, correct?   It is The rules, it is that which rules, it is the ruler whatever it is, sentient, nonsentient, That's God, and we have cleverly done what cancer does, which is, we've defied that which is good, that which advances life, for all the massive benefits that are fleeting (sarcasm),  with total destruction, on the other side of our folly.   So you either stop kidding yourselves that Start Loving knows some things, or you listen up to this video.

The Matrix is a movie I speak of often, I think of often, and the truth in a way is the flipside of what the movie shows, and Jean Baudrillard, the now deceased philosopher whose conception spawned the movie, his philosophical views spawned the movie, and the movie itself really in a serious way shows the inverse of the truth. The Matrix, false 'reality,'  is what we understand to be the material reality outside of us.  True reality that all you and I can ever know is the inside of our nervous system. It's an infinite universe.  The inside of our nervous system for all intents and purposes is an infinite universe and you and I will never be able to escape that universe, not even for a second, ever.  So it is kind of important to understand the features of that universe, right? 

If we think about the physical universe I suppose it might  be nice to know everything.  We don't live that way, it would be insane. So we gravitate toward, sometimes very aggressively, and correctly, toward what's really import.  Here what's really important - within our nervous system inescapably you and I are are creatures that pursue positive experience.  It's inescapable, you and I can't change that. I don't ask you to accept any of this nor to waste your time arguing.  If you, if you see the basic wisdom to what I'm saying then ponder deeply and embrace it more in your life. And if is seems like nonsense, stop wasting your time with me. 

There are two types of positive experiences we human beings can and can't have and they are as yet,  I think, unproven, but scientifically provable in terms of two different types of chemical cocktails in our brain.  One associated with joy.  The other is associated with intoxicating pleasures, that wonderful meal, that handsome guy that beautiful girl, that exciting, the intoxication, extrinsic rewards, that is things that we perceive to be outside of our nervous system that 'make us feel good. Joy is the wrong word, the reward for doing unto the least of these,  these neediest parts of the our global family, all we, all we would have them do unto us.  This is the only universal moral precept.  This is the universal moral precept for virtually all cultures, all times in history, said different ways, the same thing, no double standards; what you would want desperaly to be done to you and yours, do to others.  No double standards. 

This is something that people 'made up' no more than people made up the most popular color globally would be violet.  Both are what we're wired for.  However, our wiring is so comprehensive, so complex, that we can invent ways that are not what we are wired to do.  Our western culture is in the final stages of destroying human future, and future for every other species.

So the important features of our nervous system ultimately and absolutely are its ability to give us the experience of finding joy within or to find the experience of intoxication/pleasures from things 'outside of' or personal efforts and attempts to do 'Good.' 

Not many people numerically have worked on this issue of, okay, what is it that produces joy, what is it that produces the experience of pleasure, intoxication;  but our greatest minds have, and whereas we look at them only for entertainment, typically, they weren't interested in entertaining us; they were interested in saving us from wasting our lives on inferior intoxications  and pleasures; so whether it's our artists, our philosophers, our great religious leaders, our  great humanitarians, our movie and heroes of literature, they all point in different words and ways to what one of the few great constructive, non-toxic, non-psychotic, non-psychotic psychologists, Miholi Csikszentmihaly from University of Chicago most of his career, in his indispensable book 'Flow,' and more indispensable book, 'The Evolving Self, done from his global, sophisticated studies of people's reported, optimal or suboptimal experience; that uninterrupted continuing experience of joy which he called 'optimal experience' is found by anyone and everything  when they were in a high challenge situation for which they have high skill, and which is of high meaning to the immediate collective -  the town, the city, the country, or the world.  This is true for our movie, virtually all of our movie heroes and literature, and our real life heroes like Gandhi, King, Jesus. 

Don't we at some level know that they have the most desirable experiences that human beings can have?  But we have built a culture on the cancerous notion that selfishness is the ultimate reward.  This is just, well, if you don't know it's wrong, I love you just as much, but you're wasting your time, in any seconds you consider what I have to say.   But if at some level you know that I'm dying to help you escape the insanity of the misdirection of our of our society, our insane western notion, that, oh no, the optimal human experience is found in leasure, selfish pleasures, for me and mine, our vacations, our over-privileged home, our  overprivileged car, overprivileged food, and we embrace it, believe it. 

If you think that's not the Truth, then save yourself from wasting your life.  The moral greats, friends, are not about afterlife.  Our greats were dying to get us a great live joyfully in this one, independant of any life after this one. 

I totally believed in this heaven, all my years, and now I've lived it; for the last 12 years that I've lived this understanding.

Let's look at what some of the other options -  what about high skill, high challange, but low meaning, as depicted here.  Well, the intelligentsia in our society, the quasi-moral and good people in the society who are anything but, but they honestly, like I did most of my life, think that they are, this is where they focus.  The rigourous understanding of the world's issues, the high accademic training, the meaningful conversations, the meeting, after meeting, after meeting over the world's issues; the serious discussions, the seroius political discussions, the working hard at a job that I hate, so that I can comply with socieity.  Ok, if you're happy with it, fine.  It's somewhat, actually, it can be highly pleasurable, but pleasure is always in cycles,  unlike joy which is continuous and uninterrupted as long as we stay in the high challenge, high skill,  high meaning pursuit that is doing for the least of these all we would have them do unto you; which makes whatever personal price it looks like we're paying, absolutely outside of consciousness, not of concern. 

Or, we can spend our time in high challenge, low meaning, low skill.  This is the place of burnout; this is the place of excuses, Well I tried.  This is the place of depression.  I tried, I keep on trying, but I'm not holding myself the standard of trying things that are are really worthwhile and I'm not holding myself  to the standard of getting the skill, or living within the skills that I have.  

And then there's the high skill, low meaning, low challenge.  So inane video games, watching TV, watching movies, watching sex, sitting at the beach.  Hour after hour watching; oh gosh, we're so emotionally illiterate.  Try to see the difference within you of what your experiences of joy felt like, and what your experiences of pleasure felt like, and you may save yourselves from the mistaken notion that our mindless entertainment is worth a second more of your life. 

Now, maybe you've seen that this is not a four-sidded cube, and I see now, a six-sided cube issue six sided cube.  This is a six sided prism issue, but I didn't have that gadget, it is not part of PowerPoint.  So you'll have to do the transition yourself. 

So where is the best possible mother or father when their child needs their greatest help, they're at the top of this pyramid. They drive themselves to the highest level of challenge.  They muster their highest skill, and of course pursuing their greatest meaning.  So on the issue that I'm devoting my time to, which is doing my part to try and give humanity a future, whereas currently it looks like it's finally going to have a future, which is just Hell, this is where I'm getting my life be, and giving my life to try and get you to be.  It's a win win win. 

It's the only place where we'll find the intelligence, motivation, unceasing desire and drive and selflessness, joyful selflessness, to save ourselves, to save humanity, to save the future for eternity's yonng. 

And finally friends, this is much on my mind today because, if you've watched me the last couple of weeks you've seen me constructively and obsess over do I stay in DC, do I stay on hunger strike,  do I stay on hunger strike but start walking around the country trying to find signs of life.  I was right to do this, but I was wrong to think that what I do ultimately matters.  What matters is whether I drive myself to the top of this pyramid -   High skill, high challenge, high meaning pursuit.  Gandhi never said it's what you do that matters, he said, 'Full effort is full success.'   King said it , never, never said it matters who you are what you do; he said 'everyone can be great because everyone can serve.'  Jesus never said that it matters whether you're a pastor or carpenter a teacher.  He said 'do onto others, all you would have them do unto you.'  This is the one answer to every important question in life -  how do I feel good,  how do I help my family, how do I save humanity,  how do I give humanity a future,  how do I escape my depression,  how do I escape my sadness, how do I have a positive life,   what do I guide my child to - every important question has the same answer - Do unto the least of these are global neediest, all you would have them do unto you.
