THANK GOD! I'VE BEEN REUNITED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE FUTURE

For a year or three I've had the "idea" that it was right for me to include in my "immediate family" not only my 6.7 billion currently born, but also 50 billion or so in the not too distant future.

But it was only 2 nights ago, as I began to truly face for the first time, as Jesus did, that the current generation may well be beyond redemption, that I united with them, they became real in my heart. Oh God, what a gift.

I think that courage, and Love are to be found, and demand that in such a wretched and wicked generation, that we hold ourselves primarily in front of, and accountable to our children's children's children, the few likely to be left after the armageddon we are choosing not to stop. They will need to know how womenmen are to live, to know that some tried, and to have models to emulate. We are dying for models, and they in generations hence must not do so.

They need as many legends as we can give them, so they avoid the traps that have doomed the majority of us alive today.

"I came not to bring peace, but to divide with a sword." Jesus

I find myself becoming much more harsh than ever I have been in my life.

I believe that anger against anyone, meanness against anyone, release against anyone, anything against anyone is ALWAYS hostility, always per se EVIL. So am I doing evil?

I think I am doing good.
  • My harshness is that of a surgeon, an MD attempting to pierce the skin with scalpel or hypodermic.
  • My harshness is that of an enlightened loved one delivering Tough Love to an otherwise dying addict; dying from denial I try to pierce.

CRAZINESS, VISION: THE SAME HALLMARK - YOU ARE ALONE IN YOUR THINKING.

WE ARE DOOMED. HUNGER STRIKE CANCELLED / POSTPONED.

Explanation in this updated video:

WE ARE DOOMED. "Many are called but FEW are chosen."

I see at long last that Jesus was infinitely more Humane / Compassionate / Loving than I'd realized. I thought He Died to save all of Humanity. But He didn't. He saw clearly that almost, ALMOST all of us were beyond redemption.

Jesus gave His life, He died to save just a few,
literally one in a million I figure.


Infinitely more Heroic, Loving, Selfless
than I had heretofore realized.

NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER BEGINS WITHOUT INDIVIDUALS. NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER SURVIVES INSTITUTIONALIZATION.

What brings this to my mind is the following:

WE ARE WATCHING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DemocracyNow.org!!!!!

At GreenFestival 08 here in DC I heard the most extraordinary speech by one of the world's great sheroes, Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow.

But during it a horrible quote from history was shared with great enthusiasm regarding DemocracyNow by one of her "appostles," regarding how they are institutionalizing what Amy has begun:

"Never does anything important begin without individuals.
Never does anything important continue without institutionalization."
(Yeah, like Khristianity, Unionizm, Demokracy, Buddhizm, Socializm, Communizm....)

"Never does anything important begin without individuals;
NEVER DOES ANYTHING IMPORTANT SURVIVE INSTITUTIONALIZATION,."
THIS is the Truth.

INDIVIDUALS, ALONE OR WORKING TOGETHER ARE THE ONLY SOURCE OF GREATNESS, EVER.

INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS DISPLACES, MURDERS THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THEREFORE INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS TERMINATES GREATNESS.

WE ARE WATCHING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DEMOCRACYNOW.ORG.

UNREASONABLENESS: EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON IT NOW

"The reasonable man adapts himself to
the conditions that surround him...
The unreasonable man adapts surrounding
conditions to himself...
All progress depends on the unreasonable man."
George Bernard Shaw

"People are always blaming their
circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world
are the people who get up and look
for the circumstances they want,
and if they can't find them, make them."
George Bernard Shaw

"Forget about likes and dislikes.
They are of no consequence.
Just do what must be done.
This may not be happiness, but it is greatness."
George Bernard Shaw

"A life spent making mistakes
is not only more honorable
but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
George Bernard Shaw

EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL ZOMBIE REPELLENT: BO, TATTOOS, UNCLEANLINESS

TWO WAYS OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT: 1. STEAL THE PRICE FROM OTHERS; 2. PAY THE PRICE YOURSELF. NO 3RD WAY.

I AM UNIMPORTANT. HUMANITY, HUMANITY IS IMPORTANT.

CONDITIONAL, SELECTIVE LOVE IS CANCER, IS KILLING US. FINAL STAGES. THIS IS THE WHOLE OF JESUS TEACHING. HE DIED TO WARN US.

We can exist without, but we cannot Live without Community / Partnership.

WHAT WE LACK IS EXAMPLES. WE ARE DYING FOR THE RIGHT EXAMPLES, AND OF THE WRONG EXAMPLES.

Spiritual AIDS. A CURE: I NEED TO BECOME; SOMEONE(S) NEEDS TO BECOME.

True Wealth. Wealth of Meaning.

TODAY'S NON-ELITE, NON-MIDDLE CLASS ARE WAR CRIMES VICTIMS; AND DESERVE REPARATIONS.. FROM YOU.

CRIMINAL: I AM AND ALMOST CERTAINLY YOU ARE.

Literally and actually.

Criminal neglect - LITERALLY a Crime Against Humanity. You are guilty. I am guilty.

The homeless, the 2 million in prison, the 100's of millions that will be displaced or killed by our murder of THEIR environment.... THEIR BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS, AND MINE.

Negligent homicide through my massive consumption of goods that were life itself to present and future generations.

Opposite of my youth, I would rather die than live in "Privelage" above my family.

REVOLUTIONARIES: ALWAYS "POOR" OF RESOURCES, "STARVED" BY THE STATUS QUO.

Are you poor of resources; starved?

Protecting the status quo.

AS ESSENTIAL AS FOOD ARE SOCIAL, INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL CAPITOL; RIGHT FOR EVERY CHILD TO HAVE.

We westerners have systematically destroyed, wage incessant war on the Capital of non-white populations the world over.

We must place ourselves at the service of these same populations to replace in full that capital, UNTIL IT IS REPLACED.

"See for yourself." Humanity entirely depends on it.

WE'RE DYING OF SPIRITUAL "AIDS": SELECTIVE LOVE

Cancer practices selective love, of self and those like it, neglecting the body, and all die.

THIS is what Jesus died to save us from.

Conditional love is killing us, just as cancer, just as a tumor kills the body.

We ARE born as immune cells for the body, with no higher purpose than to devote ourselves to the needs of the least of these.

We have been infected by a Culture that has switched off this AutoImmune response - making us SubHuman.

JESUS ENTIRE TEACHING: COMMIT EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO THE POOR.

The parable of the Rich Young Man is Jesus ENTIRE teaching.

This is Salvation.

There is no other.

Damnation is the certain alternative, to be held at bay no longer.

It is time to choose.

Now, or never.

HUNGER STRIKE TO FUND PEACEMAKING, CUT WARMAKING


Friday, December 19th I expect to join a round the clock CUT WARMAKING, FUND PEACEMAKING FAST, occupying the Hill outdoors until early February.
  • This is our time.
  • This is our chance.
  • We've got the greatest president in the history of the US.
  • Our last pre-catastrophe wake-up call (environment, economy, terrorism...).
  • The Titanic (the US) is leaving port one last time. Will we streighten the deck chairs, or will we citizens storm the wheelhouse and force the captains (Military-Industrial-Government Complex) to steer the right course?
We have minutes and days, not months and decades.

It is finally time to IGNORE our Captains of Greed and heed the Princes of Peace - Gandhi, ML King, Buddha, and JESUS.

MY FLAME IS RELIT, HAVING GONE DANGEROUSLY LOW.

Why had my flame, my Spirit, my unity with God gone dangerously low? Had to do with:
  • Being on autopilot massively absorbed in getting Obama elected.
  • Being in an environment now of great unclarity when compared to the campaigns for Darfur, Iraq, Iran, against Bush... for so long.
  • Being in an environment now that Obama is elected where it may be possible to be FOR something - the way the world should be, the way the world must be - to survive and flourish, and prosper; not just AGAINST the madness. But this requires massive work to discover, to learn, to conceive a comprehensive Truth based vision of how we are to Live on this earth at this time.
  • The relatively new http://youtube.com/StartLoving1 ministry which is quite powerful but extremely time consuming with relatively mind-numbing technical work.
  • Wounds from terminated relationships that were not too long ago hugely encouraging and nurturing and sustaining for me.
  • Wounds from hostility and neglect both gleeful and unwitting from parties currently.
  • Solitude, a Long Loneliness as Dorothy Day spoke of it.
  • Massive discouragement at having worked so long and hard, at such cost and yet seen so little, if any impact.
  • Discouragement that so much can be wrong, that we can be sooooooo sick; and as is always true with addiction, so totally determined to NOT be cured.
How it seems that my Spirit has become re-lit?
  • I was alert to the flame-out; didn't deny it but recognized it as priority #1 - SPIRIT IS EVERTHING. SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING.
  • Sought solitude and took as much time, 3 days, as was needed - pretty much solid - in bed. This was not easy. "What's wrong with you?" is among the thoughts that crowded in. "Maybe you will not re-ignite," was present. Frightening. "Maybe the folks that let you stay here will throw you out, as a bum," crowded in.
  • SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING; WITH IT MIRACLES ARE POSSIBLE; WITHOUT IT NOTHING IS POSSIBLE.
The biggest surprise, the biggest lesson to me during this Retreat, this depression cycle, is that what seems to have caused a re-ignition is some advice a used to be friend gave me not too long ago - "Climb into the lap of God [the lap of Universal Love]." In previous cycles when my flame has gone low, or out, I've recovered other ways. This time, what I needed, was to remember to, and then to take the time to "climb into the lap of God." I didn't do it for me. I did it in an effort to regain the ability to be a prayer of hope for this dying, and almost dead world, my brothers and sisters, my children and parents.

Why did this do the trick? Near as I can tell, by accessing directly and deliberately, at some great effort the reservoir, the circuits within for Universal Love, it just kinda switches it on - Universal Love - like switching on a pump that has accidentally been allowed to switch off, or to become unplugged, powered off.

It felt like carrying an extinguished, a doused torch to a fire and feeling it ignite. For the first time I now find some meaning in the idea - "You must love yourself before you can love another." NO, but close. You must FIND Universal Love within yourself before you can share Universal Love toward another. "The Kingdom of God is within you. Be like a Child and find it."

I think I'm back now.
