GOOD NEWS!!! The Truth is: Life, out of Love, Sacrifices for JOY

Gospel as we know means "Good News!" But what is the good news??????? Well, maybe as the cHURCH says it is that one can go to Heaven after death. I've never believed this and I never will. I've always believed that it had to do with THIS life, THIS earth, and I've been sure of it because the more I've joined Jesus in His work the more heavenly my life has been. But, I believed there was an answer to the question - What's the Good News? And I couldn't express it. NOW I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GOOD NEWS!!!! ...
TRUTH IS: LIFE OUT OF LOVE, SACRIFICES FOR HUMANITY, FOR JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! "If you lose [sacrifice] your life you gain it; if you hold on to your life [refuse to sacrifice it] you lose it!!!!!!!!!" Jesus.

Now I can articulate it!!!!!!! Now maybe I can learn to express it beyond my own actions, before I pass on!!!!!!! Boy, that would be great!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BOTTOM LINE: WAGE LOVE, PROFIT HUMANITY, REAP JOY

1. Wage Love - this is what you were designed to do - as is all life - to Wage Love/Creation/Goodness.
2. Profit Humanity - avoid the murderous lie that our "family" is some subset of Humanity. Every single one of History's heroes sets the lie to this - King, Gandhi, Jesus, Romero.... Avoid the cancerous lie of western civilization, aided and abetted by the cHURCH that it is OK to Profit FROM others. This is a direct perversion of Jesus teaching and life. Life PROFITS OTHERS. Period.
3. Reap the uninterrupted flow of the chemical/psychological coctail Joy - Heaven, "Our Father's Kingdom," Nirvana... by whatever name.

There is not much else that the greats teach. There is not much else to know.

Will waste a lifetime, like me, discovering this path?

Will you discover it and walk the path now in time to lead others?

THE RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF JOY IS THE ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION

  1. An inescapable aspect of the human condition is that we cannot NOT seek our greatest self interest.
  2. An ALMOST inescapable aspect of our Religion of Consumerism is that WE ARE TOTALLY MISINFORMED ABOUT OUR SELFINTEREST. We've been told that PLEASURE is the ultimate, when in fact it is JOY.
  3. JOY is the FUEL of the PERPETUAL LIFE/LOVE/TRUTH/SALVATION engine. No? If not there is no hope. If not Jesus was wrong; King was wrong; Gandhi was wrong.

"He came not to give the
peace of the world
which is only that we
don't bother each other.
He came to give the
Peace of heart
which comes from loving -
from doing good to others."

Teresa of Calcutta

"Success" - WAYYYYYY TOO COWARDLY A GOAL

What!?!?!?!?! "Success" is our RELIGION!!!!! Cowardly??!??!!?!?!?!? Weak!?!?!?!?!?!?

A mother works to lift a car off of her pinned child. Is her measure "success?"

HER MEASURE IS 'TOTAL COMMITMENT TO THE ATTEMPT." And this it ALWAYS is with Love / Life / Truth / Courage.

"Courage is doing what needs to be done regardless of the likely outcome." Alfred Adler

"Full effort is full success." Gandhi

"Nothing great ever happens without a committed, maniacal champion." Tom Peters

"Never think that a small group of COMMITTED people can't change the world. It is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead.

"Never think that a committed individual can't change the world. It is the only thing that ever has." Start Loving

BE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE

BE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.


This is what Gandhi was getting toward: "Be the change you want to see."

Example is NOT the major thing. EXAMPLE is the ONLY THING.

"Example is NOT the major thing in influencing people. EXAMPLE is the ONLY THING in influencing people."

Albert Schweitzer
1952 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Now, this is nonsense, unless what is at stake is changing/saving the world, in which case we delude ourselves any longer, and doom our posterity beyond any possibility of recovery.

Stop Thinking,
Stop Talking,
Start Loving.
