01.30.13 Cancer Update

[Note: at great peril to my 'stuff' for the vigil, I am away in a library writing this note, leaving it unattended at a time of heightened police, city concern with another homeless guy in the area who made a nasty scene yesterday.  So more than usual, please try to bear with the limitations of my writing, unreading of emails, etc.  Hopefully by Friday or Monday I'll have a replacement power brick for my laptop and be more regular in my communication. ARGH.  Also, spell check is not working on this machine.]

To those who might feel hurt, wounded by the video below:

*  If you are reading this you may be among those that have done great kindnesses for me and my work.  Nothing in this video discounts any such kindnesses even .00000000001%.

*  It deeply astounds me that I don't understand the following, but I don't.  But I DO know it exists, and that at least among one, who has been extraordinarily kind to me over the last 8 months, that it usually the source of major unintended distress, hurt, pain as a result of me.

Objectively, I think it is true, that more than anyone you know, or have ever known, that I appreciate, am grateful for, and passionately acknowledge each and every kindness by anyone, to anyone, in my field of view.  I Live for Kindnesses, to spawn them, increase them, give them.  It is Life, in my view - Giving Life - and not a nicety, but Life itself.  It is entirely what I am about - my Purpose - my reason for being.  When I do so, it is quite rare that anyone takes offense, criticizes me, objects, takes exception.  And if they seem to take anything I say in this vein personally - I pretty religiously hasten to be clear - I am not complementing you.  I am simply making an honest observation.  None of us are to take credit for those positive things we may do, or the negative.  We are all products of Creation, doing the best we know,' or something to that effect, because I understand this to be True, at my core.

What astounds me, and I feel like a fool for saying it, what astounds me is that when I make observations, also with passion, that one, or others, take as not positive, or rather, negative, they feel unreceptive!  That maybe I shouldn't have said it, that I'm being 'judgemental,' unfair, mean, destructive....  Oh, I can cite chapter and verse the common 'wisdom' against saying that which can be construed as negative.  But it still mystifies me how folks react.  My oncologist told me I had cancer.  I didn't take it personally.  Now, she did NOT say it with great passion to me; though, if she really cared about me, and felt I was not 'hearing' what she was saying, there could have come a time when she might do so!  Some of the most intellectually advanced folks I've encountered in the life I lead of advocacy, totally react in the way I've described, ending what had seemed like life-giving-to-society relationships with "Obviously you didn't mean the positive things you were saying;' or 'I can't understand how you can be so positive one moment, and negative the next.' Huh?  I don't get it.

* If anything I am appallingly thorough in my regular communication, taking enormous care to know what I mean, and state it clearly.  Including changes.  So, if in one communication I say something positive, and in another something negative, IF THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT, I'M GOING TO POINT THAT OUT, AND BE CLEAR ABOUT IT.  I'm never lax in such crucial things.  And to the distress of the few that haven't yet tuned me out, on issues I feel are crucial to humanity, most of which don't relate to my person, but some that are, such as the vid below, I share my mind, as clearly as I am able.

*  The video IS, despite my other comments here to the contrary, in part (an unimportant part; I'm a big boy, I'll survive) an honest outcry of personal pain.  Process wise, when someone who generally does not, cries out in pain, thereby potentially empowering others to help, it is VERY Dangerous, and NOT an act of kindness, or Friendship, Caring, to react in a way that punishes, or warns against, or discourages future acts being so personally honest. 

*  If of the few that have been kind to me, that have not yet tuned me out, of those, if some or all end things now, over the following video, I'm ok with that.  Will it be agony for me?  Yes.  Will it hurt or cripple my work?  Probably, to a degree.  But what I share in this vid below, yes, what I express seems personal to me.  But it isn't.  It is an immediate example of why we are not averting Ecocide.  I don't matter.  Averting Ecocide, does. 

Keeping in mind that of course I could be wrong in everything I've expressed here, and in  the video, tho I'm not -
The reason we are not averting Ecocide for our kids and the next 200 billion kids, is NOT that we are without Hearts!  It IS because we have set boundaries that WE TOTALLY DEEM 'REASONABLE' BOUNDARIES AROUND THOSE HEARTS!  We convince ourselves, for all but those very few that are most dear to us, are most "Family,' to us, that it is it OK that we not treat others the same.  That 'inconvieniences' that we would RUSH to suffer for our very dearest ones, it is OK to not do so for others!  And who to say this is 'wrong,' or more to the point, DEADLY, ECOCIDAL??? Well, Jesus, for one.  "Love the stranger, the foreigner, the Enemy - AS YOUR SELF."  Does that make it correct, that Jesus said so!?!?!?  No.  But my Heart says it is, and in the quietest of moments, yours probably does too; at least, that is my guess.  And, if it does not - don't walk, RUN from any engagement with me!  It can only lead to pain for you.  My oncologist is willing to offer me pain, sickness, discomfort, maybe agony even, but not as the end point, but as the gateway to Life!  Me too.

If you have NOT viewed the following video, I highly recommend it to those who care more about where humanity is headed, than their own lives.  To those who have seen it, or who are more squeamish, you may wish to skip to the final text below it.

vlog Relief! Death by Cancer it is! DEPRESSION GONE! AMEN!




01.30.13 Cancer Update:  In the video above I mentioned that there was one last option I could see as maybe offering a prayer of 'housing' that would satisfy the hospitals liability requirements and, through massive contortions of my work needs, suffice to meet enough of my 200 billion kids needs, to allow the chemo to proceed.  Well, barring what could be two show stoppers, but probably will be surmounted (Internet access, PHYSICALLY, my signal not reaching this room;  and the prohibition of 2-3 'mental health' days for me to go to the library each week when not in treatment or recovering therefrom), it looks like this is a 'go.'  To my credit, I explored it despite indications that it was a dead end - and, it may be a doorway, instead.  Howard U Hosp and my oncologist have kindly re-established forward momentum for me to receive the tests and treatment.  I will be firing off an email before returning to my stuff to A.  Ascertain the 2 points I just mentioned as possible show-stoppers; and B. as my oncologist to please, take the most aggressive possible course of treatment.  If  I'm going to drain the resources  away from our kids for this treatment, my time, and our money, I want to get this stuff, this cancer, NOW.

Sakihiwew.  Loving.

YOU ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE!  BUT YOU ARE DOING ECOCIDAL THINGS!  PULL UP! PULL UP!!!  Ahab, never did.

(Is Keystone deadly?  YES! Should WE CITIZENS fight it?  YES!!!  Is it Moby Dick, to Crucify Obama for?  NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And Crucifixion is for millions of we citizens before it is Pr. Obama's turn.)

Chris, watched your show segments. You are the greatest, man, so only you, and sometimes Rachel, could get me so depressed:  Allowing to stand, un-eviscerated, this insanity that Keystone is the Litmus for Pr. Obama?  Did no one see "Lincoln?"  Was nothing learned from the political necessities shown there - Lincoln, Stevens??? My God, the "Ahabs" for Keystone/Obama as Moby Dick are infinitely more dangerous than the more obviously insane on the right!  YOU, Chris, YOU have to be sharp on such things!  And hand in hand with that, Chris, yes, we the cowardly, stand for nothing, do nothing, blame everyone else left LOVE to harbor the illusion that Dr. King got us civil rights.  BUT YOU KNOW THE HISTORY!  He came on pretty much after it was a done deal - with the sweat, blood, lynchings... by CITIZEN ACTIVST ARMY.  Yet in your segment: 1. No mention, that I caught, of the most hopeful event in the last 20 year - Organizing for Action - by Obama - a Citizen Army!!!  THAT is what, if fully peopled, THAT is what can save posterity; 2. You allowed to stand assertion after gutless assertion that 'it is up to Obama!'  WHAT????  For how many months of success?  So, nothing else happens but Obama uses the EPA and Executive Action, in 2 years we lose the all important House again, cuz we've so inflamed the Right; in 2016 we lose the Presidency and Senate also, and whatever Prez O did gets wiped out! Clock runs out, game over! Pr. Obama can't be the only one thinking more than 2 weeks ahead, Chris!  3.  NOW, after the Inaugural, Pr. Obama is no longer in the cross-hairs of history; it is We the Citizens Chris.  It is WE that will go down in history as the most reviled in history, unless the few sane with a pulpet, in ADDITION to Pr.

***** NYT 01.26.13: Withdraw Meaningful work, Drive Yourself, or others, Insane

My interest in this article, at this time, can easily be misunderstood
or misconstrued.   But maybe you will do neither.


NYT 01.26.13:  Withdraw Meaningful work, Drive Yourself, or others, Insane (some liberties taken with title)
Loving, here,

As I've noted for over a year now, in my assessment, the entire deadly sickness gripping near all cultures now, mostly US, almost done in dooming all creation, is the elimination of virtually all meaningful (necessary to the meaningful life of others) work, on Earth.  

This is our Religion, eliminating meaningful work (oh, please don't dismiss this notion easily.  Think!) under the names of 'convenience,' 'entertainment,' 'fun,' 'leisure,' 'ease....'  

Deadly.  DEATHLY.  ECOCIDAL.  INSANE, and the serious writing, theories, research... by Maslow, Csikszentmihaly, Alfred Adler, Viktor Frankl, Erik Erikson, Tolstoy, Jesus... is EXACTLY this. 

Meaningful work has been at the heart of Morality, and
Moral Teachings since well before Jesus, but "The Daily Bread" that Jesus CENTRALLY taught us to Pray for, is EXACTLY and ENTIRELY "Meaningful Work," and with
self-righteous, religious fervor we've been "replacing" it for
all sorts of "reasonable" reasons for 1000's of years, but with a now nearly terminal  vengeance, in my lifetime.   And until this my most recent decade I was an appostle of this false, Deadly religion of leisure, in the computing automation industry.  I didn't know; I couldn't pull it all together, but I have since.

To the kind souls likely willing to house me during Chemo.

Bless your hearts (reply to an email offering housing, this morning) - 
 
You five, in your households, I hear you, I suspect that
you'd all rather have me in housed, in this area and get the chemo,
than not.  
 
But that doesn't meet my threshold.  :-)  LOL.
 
Even in business, (and especially in my personal life),
my soul criteria, that to which I devoted
everything I was, was to DELIGHT!  And that will never change
for me.  If I could, at whatever
extreme personal cost, DELIGHT my clients, or those in 
my personal life, I'd pay that price,
and did, time after time, after time.  If I couldn't see how
to DELIGHT  in a certain circumstance, situation,
industry... I'd do them the service of getting out of the away, letting them
find other options; again, regardless of personal Price which I
Joyfully paid, and pay.

To the credit of you all, I know you'd have me.  But it is impossible
that doing so would be a Delight for you.  I'm not that guy, and my Life
isn't that Life, and I'd rather die than be a burden, downer,
bane to you all, or anyone....  My choice.  I know you all would chose
differently for me.

"If you seek to hold on to your life, you will Lose it.  If you Lose your life for the sake of Our Neediest Family, you will Gain your Life!"  Jesus.

Jesus, whatever else he was, was the only full Einstein Equivalent of psychology we've had.  The rest of mention, in that field - Alfred Adler and Viktor Frankl, Maslow, Csikszentmihalyi - were/are great, but Jesus was/is the Einstein of how our DNA given circuits work.  And the above quote is the relentlessly overlooked, buried, distorted, discounted... Truth of where Joy, Peace of Heart, Passion and Loving find - and I've been one of the lucky ones to Live that Truth near every breath of my last dozen year's worth.  Heaven.  The Universe, the Spirit, of Universal Loving.

But as I've shared, I went SLAM off the Path these recent days as my external world turned upside down just a little too much, and a little too fast, for me to catch before the, well, SLAM! *****01.25.13 My Personal Agony of late - I'm minding the Creator's Business, not my own. LOL.
I've pretty well regained my footing, which looks like it will be firmly in place within a few more days now.

Central to what I did that caused SLAM was looking outside my own efforts for gratification.  Yes, that is what we do in this culture, but it is not what I've learned to do in many ears now.  Oh, obviously I make it my business to know far more than most, and infinitely more than I did in my earlier decades, BUT I DON'T MAKE IT MY BUSINESS WHAT HAPPENS, just what I DO about it; cept for my footslip of recent days.  Argh!

Anyway, oh my God, how depressing.  Our 'today's Republicans, clinically, they are raving maniac savages, barbarians, sub-humans - my brothers and sisters all.

  • Trying with all their might to RIG THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION by destroying hundreds of years of precedent on the Electoral College?  
  • ...WHILE EVERY BREATH OF EACH OF US SHOULD BE DEVOTED AT WAR-TIME EFFORT AND MAGNITUDE AND SELFLESSNESS TO AVERTING ECOCIDE IN THE FEW SECONDS WE HAVE LEFT TO DO SO?!?!?!?!
OH MY GOD.  Remember how Mr. Coffey in "The Green Mile" asked not to avoid his execution?  'I'M TIRED.  ALL THIS EVIL IS LIKE GLASS CRUNCHING AROUND IN MY BRAIN.'

Well, had Mr. C been on the Path Jesus died to lead us to, he'd not have made that choice.  But he'd still have had the Agony, the broken glass crunching around in his brain, in his Heart, all the time, as do I, as should you; and if you did, it would propel you to levels of Passion, Life, Action, Loving... - that you'd be Ecstatic for; which is where you'll find me soon again, Creator willing.

BTW, Clinically, according to Abe Maslow, head of the American Psychological Association in the late 60's, to NOT be somewhat Depressed at such times of horror, is, well, Insane.

Also today: 01.26.13 Chemo again looking unlikely. Seems on Living arrangements I was way optimistic. My bad.

01.26.13 Chemo again looking unlikely. Seems on Living arrangements I was way optimistic.  My bad.

So, you, YOU, learn you need chemo over 6 months.  You do nothing with your life, your days now, of any importance, so of course, you accept arrangements that will make you 100% unproductive in the world for those 6 months, right?  I didn't think so.  And if you like, you can take the picture further, you are in a life and death fight for your next 200 billion kids, and the next 6 months are the most crucial by a large order of magnitude for their future....

NO COMPLAINT!  NO REGRET.  I've made my choices beginning more that a decade ago, and for no amount of money would I change them, or change places with anyone on earth - as frankly, I see no one else, well, maybe Diane, Malala, maybe someone else too, with the level of Joy, Passion, Peace of Heart, Loving... that I have in every breath (cept for the last 4 days or so where I fell HARD off the Path.  Back on now, pretty much.)

But to my naive surprise, it is looking like chemo is not to be, for me.  Looks like the alternative for 'living' arrangements during the 6 month treatment, I was aware of, too, would require that I "rest" for 6 months - no Phone work for 6 months for Organizing for Action; noVigiling (to this I was resigned); no computer / internet work (? - might be tolerated, but would it be welcome?  Would my wifi work from there?)

I was foolishly imagining that on the 10 days out of every 14 that the cancer doc figures I'd be functional, that I could be at least working out of libraries, and maybe vigilling during the day.  Based on info I've just received, doesn't look like that is the case - once in the "infermary," welcome to be 'out,' only for treatments, and then back resting - a 'Death sentence,' Dead, for 6 months - the most pivotal 6 months to avert Ecocide.

I'm hoping to hear that the kind soul keeping my gear for me in DC will be able to meet me Monday afternoon to do a hand-off.  If so, or by Wed at the latest, hat will enable me to resume the Vigil in front of the Canadian Embassy immediately, and to do a little final ascertaining of the specifics of this "infirmary."  If I'm too pessimistic, I should know that by mid week, and would immediately attempt to re-establish the testing and treatment regimen that has been recommended for me.  Otherwise, I'll Joyfully devote what time I have left to the vigilling, on-line activism, and if and when they offer it, devoting every second I can to Organizing for Action; as YOU should, too.

'I've spoken of my last 4 days Depression.  MUCH to be Depressed about.'  Loving
