THE MEASURE OF HUMANITY; FOR JESUS IT WAS BILLIONS
KINGDOM OF GOD: WHEN YOUR HUMANITY EMBRACES YOUR ENEMY
"The Least of These:" 2 flavors: MATERIAL, SPIRITUAL
The greatest poverty I've encountered is in the west; poverty of the spirit. Teresa of Calcutta
TO "PROFIT FROM" IS SIN AGAINST OUR HUMANITY (THE ONLY GOD WE CAN KNOW)
The opposite is why we were created. The opposite is what it is to Live / Be Alive / THE ENTIRETY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE: TO PROFIT OTHERS BY YOUR EXISTENCE.
CULTURALLY INDUCED AMNESIA: WHAT JESUS DIED TO DISPELL
JESUS GIFT CAN KILL; IS KILLING MILLIONS
HUMANITY IS WHAT JESUS DIED FOR
I've just been given my Christmas present and I'm breathless with the wonder, with the overwhelming joy of it; and I want you to have it. I pray I can give it to you.
- Jesus' Humanity was me, you... everyone born and unborn, ESPECIALLY THE LEAST OF THESE OUR HUMAN FAMILY. Nothing else is or ever can be our Humanity.
- Our Humanity is our Life, Love, Truth. Nothing besides our Humanity is our Life, Love, Truth.
- Our Humanity ("the least of these") is "the Pearl of great price."
- Our Humanity ("the least of these") is the "Treasure" worth selling all we have for.
This is what the "rich young man" did not grasp. Jesus attempted to give him, to return to him his Humanity, "the least of these his family" that he had abandoned, forgotten and ignored. Oh my God, what a gift. "The rich young man couldn't see it. The rich young man thought he was being asked to take up a burden. No, the rich young man was being offered HIS LIFE, HIS HUMANITY, HIS FAMILY!!! The Pearl. The Treasure.
MARK 8:36: "What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his HUMANITY ("the least of these," HIS/HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS in Iraq, Iran, Palestine, New Orleans, Congo, Haiti...!?!?!?)"
What profit is there for one to gain the whole world FOR THEIR [CHILDREN OR DEAREST ONE'S] WHILE SACRIFICING THE HUMANITY OF THEIR CHILDREN OR DEAREST ONES?!?!?!!?!
Who are you NOT LOVING-with-your-actions on this Planet? THEY are your lost Humanity; the diminishment of your Humanity... YOUR INHUMANITY. Jesus showed us this, how to FIND our lost Humanity, and to REGAIN OUR LOST HUMANITY, to SAVE our Humanity, to become ALIVE in our Humanity - TO BE SAVED!!!!! For this he Joyfully died. [I hope we do to.]
Oh I am so sorry if this does not communicate to you. Forgive me.
Wishing you the Joy of CHRISTmas - regaining Humanity - yours, your children's, mine ...the World's.
Loving you infinitely, your brother, Start
ps: I expect to spend CHRISTmas with our "least of these" in-US-uniform, Iraqi and Iranian family on Capitol Hill. I pray you find as much Joy as I will on that Sacred day of Jesus birth.
pps: Pass it on.
ppps: The writeup on me at a Capitol Hill church I was asked to address this week - "Start Loving is a former corporate executive who reminds me of St. Francis of Assisi. He literally give up his safe and comfortable world to be come a prophetic witness for peace. He radiates compassion and love." [I pray it is so.]
--- follow on to the email above the next day---
- THE GIFT (yesterday's email; explicitly what Jesus died to give us): The Gift is His Humanity. The Gift is to-become/merge with/reunite with-OUR-Humanity - "the least of these our brothers;" the "immediate family" ("least of these") around the world that our psychologically toxic environment has erased from our memory, or worse, demonized and "alien"-ated from us. No, there is nothing else to Jesus' Gift than that; if you truly had clinical amnesia, had forgotten your biological "children," "sisters," etc. and were "cured" of that amnesia - WHAT GREATER GIFT COULD YOU BE GIVEN? Hmmmm. What if those forgotten "children," "brothers," "sisters..." were poor? Diseased? "Foreign?" "Extremely needy?" "Gay?" Black? Israeli? Palestinian? Muslim...? It wouldn't matter would it? No. With the lifting of the amnesia you would have received the greatest gift possible. Truly. Right? This is the entirety of what Jesus died to give us - our 6 billion "forgotten" family members, and 30 billion yet to be born. Was this family real and worth everything to Him? He died for them with Love and Joy. We will JOYFULLY die for them if and when we are "Saved" from our "amnesia," "delusion;" purely for the Joy of it. There could be no greater Joy, personally; more or equivalent Joy would be a psychological impossibility. Jesus did not die to make us "good." Jesus died to GIVE US THAT WHICH IS !!!!!GOOD!!!!! There is no punishment from Jesus if we continue to ignore his Gift. There is only punishment OF Jesus, and of OURSELVES BY OURSELVES when we ignore his gift. (Think of when your "loved one" has ignored advice you gave that you KNOW WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM JOY AND SAVED THEM MISERY; how did you feel? What did THEY CHEAT THEMSELVES OF?)

HOME PAGE
Everything I've Learned,
Everything on this site
can be reduced to
any one of the following:
Join JESUS
Start LOVING
Militant KINDNESS
Militant HUMANITY
Watch this (2min)... then read on...
Beyond question it is entirely possible to Rescue and Restore Darfur, eliminate poverty, bring peace to Palestine, wage war of "construction" in Iraq, prevent Bombing of Iran, save and protect US Forces.... Any imagining of the effort and elements required to do so are dwarfed by the US and worldwide resources to do so. Therefore, it is simply a matter of lacking, thus far, and raising the will to effect the Rescue and Restore. Start has given much thought to:
- THE JOY (Rapture) of the attempt (INDEX OF POSTS).
- How to bring Humanity (peace, justice, Love, Joy and Life) to the oppressed and the oppressors (INDEX OF POSTS).
OUR ENTIRE WORK LIES IS RAISING THE WILL... IN TIME: Employees and citizens in this world can be counted upon to be selfish, whether we like it or not. This includes our Elected Government Officials. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DO WHAT IS IN THEIR INTEREST. HOW DO WE MAKE DARFUR, PALESTINE, CONGO, IRAQ CIVILIANS.... CENTRAL TO THEIR INTEREST?
- YOUR BEHAVIOR MUST BE THE CATALYST...
- FOR ONE, AND
- THEN TWO AND
- THEN FOUR...
- OUR BEHAVIOR MUST BE THE CATALYST FOR THOUSANDS, AND
- FINALLY...BILLIONS TO...
STAND SO CLEARLY,
FIRMLY AND COMMITTEDLY
THAT FELLOW HUMANS
AND THE POLITICIANS
SEE AN UNMISTAKABLE
TRUTH / MANDATE / ULTIMATUM /
OPPORTUNITY.
Thinking on the key elements for this to happen:
- Wisdom has been drawn from Gandhi's, King's, Assisi's, Teresa's, Romero's... master - JESUS (INDEX OF POSTS), and MANY MASTERS (INDEX OF POSTS)throughout history.
- THE PHYSICS OF THE BATTLE (INDEX OF POSTS),
- THE MENTALITY (INDEX OF POSTS) at issue,
- THE (CLINICAL) MADNESSES (INDEX OF POSTS) that keeps us all from acting accordingly,
- FINDING THE COURAGE AND WISDOM (INDEX OF POSTS) as individuals.
- THE COST (INDEX OF POSTS)to those that make the attempt.

"PEACE MOVEMENT:" WHO WOULD SAY YOUR BEHAVIOR MATCHES YOUR WARNINGS?
Your warnings say Armageddon.
Your actions say, "Ban soda machines from high school grounds!" (unless you don't want to)

DEAR PEACE ACTIVIST, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE SURGEON "WARRING" FOR YOUR LOVED ONE?
"THIS IS WHAT HYPOCRICY LOOKS LIKE...."
No! I didn't INTENTIONALLY live a life of Hypocricy either!!!!!!! But I did, until I began to peal off the layers of propaganda, lies, deceit and indoctrination implanted in me over a lifetime.
Ok. You hate my "war" language. Let me tear away the veil of hyocricy from your eyes.
Your loved one can be saved only by one Dr. in the world - extremely expensive and totally booked - NO WAY!!!!!!!!
You get an audience, plead, beg your case. And you see a miracle. She says, "My God, you've convinced me." You see she is on fire with passion. "By God, me and my team are headed to the O.R., we are going to war to saved your loved one, and we are not coming out till we are done."
How do you feel? Elated right?
Inclined to criticize the language of the Dr.? No. Not unless you are a psychopath. You are elated!!!!!
You don't like "war" as a word because YOU don't want to be MOBILIZED AS IF IT WERE WAR.
INCINERATING EMPIRE: SHOWING EMPIRE TO ITSELF BY COMPARISON WITH YOU
This is your opportunity. This is all about "being." Yes action matters, but if you allow yourself to become totally "infected" with Humanity, YOU CANNOT HELP BUT COMMIT YOURSELF TO THE MOST HEROIC LIFE OF ACTION.
EMPIRE IS THE SERPENT
But, as it informs Humane life, as the Bible does contain some awesome wisdom -
(OR THEY SURE DO THE SAME THING!
COINCIDENCE?)
separating Man from Her HUMANITY!

EMPIRE DEPENDS ON DISENGAGING HEART / HUMANITY / LOVING
DISENGAGING
HEART / HUMANITY / LOVING
This is a matter of life and death,
LITERALLY,
for Empire
}}}}} NO PEACE WITH OUT WAR OF HUMANITY {{{{
NOT PURSUING A MIRACLE? ALREADY CONCEDED DEFEAT.
Therefore, if YOU are not dedicating your life to trying to spark such a miracle, you are of little hope. Such ones are loved anyway, but they are on the sidelines of Life, Love and Truth. Pity. Hell.

YOU CAN CALL ME "DEAR"
I've always disliked names and titles - they separate us from appreciating the essence of people. This is a pretty indesputable, psychological truth.
I wish we it were socially acceptable to, in place of using someone's name, to just express / say: "I Love you." That is what I would do. I use words like "Dear" every time I can get away with it, instead; or "Honney," "Friend," "Brother," "Sister..." Or I'll use their name with all the respect and love it allows me to pack into the word.
Please do the same with me, whatever.
