Atheists and other nonbelievers largely welcomed Wednesday's (May 22) remarks by Pope Francis
that performing "good works" is not the exclusive domain of people of
faith, but rather a place where they and atheists could and should meet.

"Loving, I feel like I just met the Savior In meeting you," said Erv Wagner, JUST WALKED FROM DETRIOT, at the end of our Joyful 15 minute exchange.. "We need one Erv, cuz otherwise, we're screwed now," Loving replied. (see Erv's links).
It was a most blessed 15 minute exchange. Erv, probably my age, just walked, WALKED, from Detroit, FROM DETROIT!
HE HAS PTSD AND ALZHEIMERS.
SUPPORT, ENCOURAGE HIM.

Day #3 of "Quest for the Historical Jesus," Albert Schweitzer. Wow, agonizing. It is agonizing, to realize, that in Truth, the man Jesus that has been so central to my Life, the only thing of which I can be Certain, in Truth, is that He is a product of my imagination, as would be my reaction to a Rorschach inkblot.
Schweitzer's book is a 200 year review of all the Biblical Scholars. Arduous. But I'm forcing myself through - firehose - but I owe it to you.
There is certainty beyond that, but extraordinary minds, and a few extraordinary spirits, like Schweitzer, have spent person-decades on the task in recent centuries and, again, From Wikipedia - ... there is no single portrait of the historical Jesus that satisfies most scholars.[14][15][16]
Quotes from Schwietzer:
The essential element in Christianity as it was preached by Jesus and as it is comprehended by thought, is this, that it is only through love that we can attain to communion with God. All living knowledge of God rests upon this foundation: that we experience Him in our lives as will-to-love. (Out of My Life and Thought, p. 277.)
Jesus as a concrete historical personality remains a stranger to our time, but His spirit, which lies hidden in His words, is known in its simplicity, and its influence is direct. (Quest of the Historical Jesus, p. 399.)
A Christian is one who has the spirit of Christ. This is the only theology. (The Schweitzer Album, p. 37.)
What would the Lord Jesus have answered when someone came to Him in pain? Quick, waste no time. Get him to the operating room. “Whatever you do unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” [Gospel of Matthew 25:40] This is my image of the Kingdom of God -- not the Apocalypse -- only this is the right meaning. (The Schweitzer Album, p. 38)
He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lake side, He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same word: “Follow thou me!” and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal Himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience Who He is. (Concluding paragraph, Quest of the Historical Jesus.)
How is Jesus alive for us? Do not attempt to prove his presence by formulations, even if they are sanctified by the ages. Of late I have very nearly lost my temper when some pious soul has come to me saying that no-one can believe in the living presence of Jesus if they do not believe in his physical resurrection and the eternal existence of his glorified body. Jesus lives for everyone whom he directs, in matters great and small, as if he were here among us. He tells them ''Do this or that.'' And they answer, quite simply, ''Yes!" and go about their job, humble and busy… The fact that the Lord still, in our days, gives his orders, proves to me - and for me it is the only proof - that he is neither a ghost nor dead, but that he lives.
If you will let me explain in my way this living presence, I will say to you: ''The eternal body of Jesus is simply his words; for it was about them that he said 'Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away!’ ” (Sermon preached on November 19, 1905; cited in Albert Schweitzer: Essential Writings. )

(showing

“The demands of Jesus are difficult because they require us to do
something extraordinary. At the same time He asks us to regard these
[acts of goodness] as something usual, ordinary.”
― Albert Schweitzer, The Quest of the Historical Jesus
― Albert Schweitzer, The Quest of the Historical Jesus
“He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lakeside,
He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same words: "Follow thou me!" and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience Who He is.”

Marta brought me a beautiful chicken dinner tonight. This is the MARTA that has been cooking all afternoon as she does every weekend for we homeless throughout the DC area. But she was so overjoyed that I terminated the death fast that weeks ago she said she could hardly wait to bring me a special dinner. And she did so tonight, bless her heart. Oh, and I got to the delicious rice and steak bits that she brought for everyone else too. That will be tomorrow's delicious lunch, if I can keep it away from the rats as I sleep.

45 ish brother Tyrone tonight, ' loving, I don't want you to die. I need you and your example every day. You for found a change to me in the last 6 months that I've known you.' in all the time we've spoken it probably hasn't accumulated to more than 15 minutes.' but, they say, I walk the walk. I reminded him that if I leave him it's because he made that choice. Or he could make the choice to keep me in his heart. He was adamant that he'd make the latter choice, without any prompting for me.

"I know how important the vigil is to you. I know this is especially more so with limited time. I also know how hot this summer is going to be. Do you want to stay with us? Die here in our home? I don't want to leave you out there when you're not well. I didn't even show you our backyard. It's a little nature haven with privacy and a tent and a chiminea. if you do not want to be indoors much but somewhere safe and clear of anything that can be a problem. I am your brother and I have to put this out there cause I care greatly for your well being and comfort in this time of less time."
Loving's reply:
"WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.
WOW.
WOW.
Well, it LOOKS like I'm gunna die pretty fast but we don't KNOW that yet. Let's not rush things!!!
:-) !!! We'll know in about 3-4 weeks.
Bruce, you and Kathleen are Angel Wings to me. I'm crying now at your Good offer. Not crying for myself, at all. I just cry when I feel the beat of Angel Wings. So rare.
That could work, your tent in your back yard, that could work, to die, or for 2 months chemo (you have metro access, don't you?), tho before the real serious dying part happened I'd move to Peter's House(?) a real nice hospice in DC for we homeless. Deeply nice place, and they could give me whatever pain meds I'd need.
Oh, the 'vigil important to me?' No. The vigil is important to YOU, and every young person you'll ever care about. That's why I do it, and will, I expect with any and every functional moment I'm given.
Let's see what the next 3 or 4 weeks tells us.
Loving u and Kath
[Bruce I reposted this important dialog here - . If you feel this inappropriate of me, pls just let me know (no explanation needed) and I['ll take it down immediately. But as I said ad nauseum on Tues, we're dying from lack of Examples of Loving, and you two have just given us a big one.]"
His reply -
"I am happy to know that you have a plan. Yes we are 4 blocks from one metro station (pg plaza) and 7 blocks from another (west h...) both on the xxx line. I feel like this back yard thing is the perfect time out for you. You can have access to the house but also come and go at anytime without it being a factor in any way. You let me know when to put up the tent. We also have a hammock which is very comfy too that I am about to rig up in a private spot also. We don't use a lawnmower with an engine anymore neither do our neighbors. The back yard is free from traffic fumes and city sounds or very many places you can even be seen by any of our neighbors. I say it is peaceful and private and it belongs to you now. <<>>. My cell # is <<>> but it doesn't work on rainy days. Okay move here when you're
ready!"
Loving's reply -
"There, you made me cry again. Here's where I posted - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ . Hugs to you both.
Unless all of a sudden the cancer does what is supposed to be doing by now, crippling me, I'll greedily do every second I can, here, maintaining my post at the embassy. But, if you remain willing, you guys would be my current, pirmary plan for 2 months of chemo, if they determine that in the last 4 months this didn't become un-curable. Hugs."

"WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.
WOW.
WOW.
Well, it LOOKS like I'm gunna die pretty fast but we don't KNOW that yet. Let's not rush things!!!
Bruce, you and Kathleen are Angel Wings to me. I'm crying now at your Good offer. Not crying for myself, at all. I just cry when I feel the beat of Angel Wings. So rare.
That could work, your tent in your back yard, that could work, to die, or for 2 months chemo (you have metro access, don't you?), tho before the real serious dying part happened I'd move to Peter's House(?) a real nice hospice in DC for we homeless. Deeply nice place, and they could give me whatever pain meds I'd need.
Oh, the 'vigil important to me?' No. The vigil is important to YOU, and every young person you'll ever care about. That's why I do it, and will, I expect with any and every functional moment I'm given.
Let's see what the next 3 or 4 weeks tells us.
Loving u and Kath
[Bruce I reposted this important dialog here - . If you feel this inappropriate of me, pls just let me know (no explanation needed) and I['ll take it down immediately. But as I said ad nauseum on Tues, we're dying from lack of Examples of Loving, and you two have just given us a big one.]"
His reply -
"I am happy to know that you have a plan. Yes we are 4 blocks from one metro station (pg plaza) and 7 blocks from another (west h...) both on the xxx line. I feel like this back yard thing is the perfect time out for you. You can have access to the house but also come and go at anytime without it being a factor in any way. You let me know when to put up the tent. We also have a hammock which is very comfy too that I am about to rig up in a private spot also. We don't use a lawnmower with an engine anymore neither do our neighbors. The back yard is free from traffic fumes and city sounds or very many places you can even be seen by any of our neighbors. I say it is peaceful and private and it belongs to you now. <<
Loving's reply -
"There, you made me cry again. Here's where I posted - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ . Hugs to you both.
Unless all of a sudden the cancer does what is supposed to be doing by now, crippling me, I'll greedily do every second I can, here, maintaining my post at the embassy. But, if you remain willing, you guys would be my current, pirmary plan for 2 months of chemo, if they determine that in the last 4 months this didn't become un-curable. Hugs."

[Spirit of Christ-mas Present to Scrooge:
"Are there no Prisons?
Are there no Workhouses,"
Scrooge's words fed back to him. We've escaped Dicken's attempts to Humanize us for well over a century now, unscathed!]
Hopefully, and I expect, today I'll learn what I need to know to decide whether or not treatment of the cancer in my liver is the best thing for me to do in service of our progeny - can Georgetown give me enough years, at a low enough cost to our children to make that the right investment for our kids?
I don't know of anyone that understands my need to make this decision. Those that might, kindly, honestly, tell me things like - the money you would leave untouched would go toward the military, not toward the global neediest. That may be true, but all I'm responsible for is what I do, not what others do.
And I think that is how it works - the only hope is to do our part, personally, individually. There is no other solution. There has never been, and never will be, any other solution.
Near-Pure Loving, Universal Family, Personal Responsibility. It can be mass-infectious, tho no one's yet has gone mass-viral, before the 'enviornment' mutates it into something that is non-threatening to our virulent self-centeredness - think Jesus, and cHRISTIANITY.
My expectations about accepting Treatment are up to about 50% because I've concluded from my efforts of the last 13 years that humanity en mass is way, way, way beyond hope, beyond Saving, walking dead already - our culture/religion of self-centeredness (aided, abetted, enabled centrally by cHRISTIANITY, is way, way, way, way too entrenched to displace, in time, en mass, in time stop Ecocide. ALL EVIDENCE INDICATES WE WILL NOT STAND FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE WILL NOT STAND. WE WILL PAY NEAR ANY PRICE TO NOT STAND, TO NOT PAY THE PRICE FOR THEM TO HAVE A LIVABLE FUTURE.
However, for as long as the human species exists there will be the possibility of individual cells, individuals, tiny groups,to be Healthy, Essentially, Massively, Fundamentally Loving, and in service of these cells (the only possible individual or collective antidote) is where I expect I'll center my every remaining breath.
And this is a much longer fight than Stopping Ecocide that I now see as a totally lost battle - never to be waged. And the battle of supporting the one in a million Healthy Cells of Loving is what I expect to center my fight on now - Waging Loving.
HOUSING - WHAT I'M LIKELY TO DIE FROM LACK OF. LOL. So, with an adjusted mission, if the hospital can give me enough years, at a low enough price, I'll go for it, if I can arrange housing that lets me work those 80% of days I'm not physically disabled. Yet all indications are that such housing will not be forthcoming - the corner of a DC accesible garage or basement.
I will ask Georetown, if everything else looks acceptable, if they will allow me to take the treatment while continuing my vigil in front of the Canadian Embassy, and this has always been my preference.

TIME TO REVERSE THINGS - TO START STANDING WITH JESUS, ABANDON THE cHURCH. Friends, please view these two jpgs and advise me.
I hope you take a look at these two images. You may find them upsetting. You may like them. You may have some suggestions for me.
Why am I sharing with you? Because I feel some of us are responding to the same call, and these express how I hear the call. More than ever, the Jesus many of us love? I see how the 'church' is the anti-Christ, the anti-Jesus.
In his day, he called us to COME OUT of that day's religion, and to simply be RELIGIOUSLY LOVING, NOT to repair the beyond-repair cHURCH of His day..
I hear him screaming the same thing today.
I suspect that within 2 weeks THESE will be my uniform, pending better ideas from you -

What is creation dying from? Please think about this for a minute. Ready?...
What is creation dying from? Please think about this for a minute. Ready? Culture we live by. But culture we live by - hour beliefs, values, including religion, especially religion. Indigenous religions would not be creation destroying creation. Right? Right.
The more I seek our cure these last 13 years the more I'm drawn to the teachings and life of Jesus. The more I am drawn to the life of Jesus, the more I detest the religion that has destroyed and supplanted his Teachings - christianity - Paul's creation, Pope's creation, Luther's.... EVERYONE BUT JESUS. It is killing all Creation.

The current one - western, capitalistic, fleshly gratification centric (sensate) IS DYING, cuz it it killing all life support. What should, must replace it if ecocide is to be bearable?

The existential issue of our time - a new culture, religion, that sustainably produces superior joy thereby displacing the cancerous, intoxication, pleasure-seeking, that are destroying earth. Just as an otherwise empty teenage mind feels better in the presence of a video game the human nervous system feels best in the presence of a well-designed culture or religion. This is an un alterable truth of our nervous system. Our computer hardware is incomplete without software. Human beings are incomplete without culture, religion.
And if all that proliferates around us is a sick, twisted, cancerous, self-centered, hateful, intoxicating... rELIGION, that's what we'll install.

Lovings status update
i am in a time of years delayed study that I am sure I am to complete while I wait to see what the Creator has in store for me, cancer and lodging for treatment. I'm spending every waking second reading, while maintaining the vigil in front of the Canadian embassy.
All of my study is one way or another about the ills of the world, and what individual and collective cure there can be, those who are heroicly loving, and doing so in a most informed way, that is, living each breath to be as meaningful , as helpful, to humanity and all of creation, because all of the wise up until and through today point to that being the only life of joy .
It appears that even if Georgetown can offer me enough years at a low enough price I'll need to decline the treatment for lack of suitable housing, that will allow me to fully work on those days I'm healthy. It appears I am to die for lack of a corner in someone's garage or basement, which would be too inconvenient to provide. This appears to be my inconvenient truth. Lol.

Can I learn? Will I ever learn? I must immediately turn my efforts from: attempts to save from material horror to attempts to save from the horror of lovelessness self centeredness, dead heartedness, soul-deadness. This for itself, and as the only means of eliminating our material horror.

This is neither complaint nor whine. I've been trying to help everyone, but no one wants my help. They desperately need it but the central feature of selfcenteredness, addiction, is the violent opposition to being cured, to being helped.

I'm finding my blindness truly stunning. Jesus by the end saw that not one in 10000 would ever saved. Ever. He devoted his life to saving that one in ten thousand. He rightly saw that the state of loving is certain, absolute Salvation regardless of all other circumstances.

Fact: I see no where in evidence today 1 millionth the humanity evidenced in the women's suffrage struggle. In the evermore toxic culture of greed, religious addiction to pleasure, we have grotesquely devolved as a species to the point of being no longer viable.

Fact:: all war is psychological. Fact: the weapon of un violint warriors is inflicting the pain, near unbearable, of the awful price they personally pay for what is right, on the opponents, and passive onlookers. Fact: because eco- side is so invisible the personal price offered must be orders of magnitude more awful than any before seen in history.

***** the purpose and function of un violence is to penetrate, to rip away, the veneer, the facade, the camouflage, to reveal underneath the true violence knowing that human physiology and psychology, even unvoluntarily, cannot remain evil, cannot allow evil, when it is clearly, sufficiently revealed. By far the most clearly I've ever seen this is in reading the book Iron Jawed Angels. See library tab this blog.

By being poor and on the street I'm coming in contact with the closest thing we have in this society that can be considered universal family, that which Jesus died to bring to us. My point? There is such a thing, it exists. It is tiny, barely alive, but it exists, it is possible.

'I must find out what people or groups in history have produced the most persistent loving. 'Everyone knows that they should not participate in politics,' said Teresa Calcutta. I've always been uncomfortable with her statement. But I've never been able to discard it. I spent much of my life studying un violent change movements. And I am glad. But few if any have changed Humanity's heart. Everything depends on changing Humanity's heart. When and how has this been best done?

nd I just don't know if I have the strength, wisdom, vision, love, compassion to accept that humanity is lost, with few exceptions. But if I am a creature of Love and Truth then I should face that and get on with doing what I can to help the few. I really think this is what I should do, and this is the only real work ahead of us.
