'2012 Election - the Civics Lesson I NEVER absorbed.' Loving

I'm spending huge time at msnbc, and google news elections, and cspan. 

This election season is the 'civics' lesson that maybe our country never received.

Don't miss it.

'Tragically, My life is viewed as a Trial; Heaven, is how I experience it.' Loving

It's funny, so many people see my life as a trial. Never for a nanosecond a year, do I experience it as a trial. I experience it as the Life that I always suspected Jesus died to show us. Yes, it looks like a Trial. I think that's the problem. Heaven, looks like a trial. Pls give me an update. How are you and what are you up to. Loving (what I go by. No 'Mr.' required. LOL.)

I don't know that anyone besides me saw Jesus life, not as a Tragedy, but as Heaven.  I always did.  

I was correct, it turns out.

Loving here. Confession - I was not born on Earth.

I find this post almost as weird as you may.  But I experience it as a surprising new Truth for me, so I share.

No, nothing mystical involved here, and nothing to do with inter-stellar travel.

It came to me as I've reflected the last few days on an aspect of my lifelong, ever more acute social isolation. 

There is much personal history of reflection I could resurrect and point to in my recent years of writing and vlogging that I could point to, but I won't.  Anyone that has lestened to me will recall.  Anyone interested, in several hours of reading, viewing what I've provided, will see what I mean, the precursers to this clearer insight I'm now experiencing and sharing.

I've always felt 'alien,' but I'm just now seeing how profound that is for me, and how deeply rooted.  I am not speaking as to whether others have much the same feeling.  That could be interesting, but it is not something on which I have thoughts at the moment.

Please hear this carefully - I've met few, if any, that I didn't think belonged on my 'planet,' which is not planet modern-earth.  In fact, I've spent most of my life on the belief that we were all born on the same planet, and that everyone else left, and I've been trying to provoke a return.

It is still my belief that we all were created for, born for, the planet I am on. 

But certainly my conviction that we were all born there, on the planet I was born on, has been replaced by the sense that I can think of no one else that was born there. 

It is my thought that the planet I was born on, and re-inhabited in this recent decade, is preferable, the only Home of Joy.  But this is not an issue of 'superiority,' 'good,' 'bad...' for me.  It is an issue of sadness, perception of tragic lost  opportunity, and consequent doom, unless there is a mass-migration.

The root of all this comes with the reflection in the last few days that my dad is the only person I can think of that I see was too, born on my planet.  Yes, of course my vision is imperfect, tho I think it is very good. 

He is the only other person I can think of that I've known, where their entire world consisted of working for the well-being of others, clinically, objectively.  Nothing else, nothing 'equal to,' or 'higher,' not 'religion,' 'philosophy,' 'group affiliation,' ..., nothing.

I suspect that there are others that could read the above and find it not an unfamiliar perception - Jesus first comes to my mind in this regard.

Death Fast Resuming Monday

The HOPE of Suffering Near Perfect Solitude, Ferocious Truth to one's Calling

A note from one of the less than 10 in my life that haven't totally fallen away, on facebook, this morning:  Happy Birthday (it's this month). You ARE an inspiration.
My reply: You are extremely kind in saying this Craig.  Thank you.  By being who I am, more relentlessly every day, I repel almost everyone.  This has always been true of me but it accelerates as my last vestiges of trying to be what the status quo wants of me, fall away.  It always hurt, the isolation that resulted.  Finally, I'm running toward it, not the isolation, but the Hope of being 100% what I'm supposed to be, what is needed of me.  The way I thought of it this morning was, that I was born to be an important piece of a jig-saw puzzle, but I correctly sensed that by being that, I would NOT fit with so many other pieces, so I tried to contort myself away from being what I was born to be, what was needed of me, so I wouldn't suffer that massive isolation!  But after 60 years of trying it this way, I now realize, 1.  That self distortion, self mutilation HURTS, and 2.  by self distorting, self mutilating, IF THERE ARE ONE, TWO, A FEW OTHER PUZZLE PIECES WITH WHOM I'M SUPPOSED TO FIT, I'M PREVENTING THAT, FOREVER!  No more!  I'll take my chances.  I'll be what is needed of me, for itself, for my love of the Whole.  But in doing so, when other 'pieces' more quickly than ever, realize I am NOT a Fit with them, and move away, I'm grateful, I'm happy, because I realize who and what I'm suppose to be is getting clearer, and therefore that if there are those for whom I'm a fit, it will be ever more possible, ever more easy for that potential fit to be seen, and for it to happen.  Loving

When I restart the Death Fast....

When, maybe 'if,' I restart the Death Fast:

1.  Over the next few days I expect to be posting my thinking, here.  So, if you wish to know my thinking, you'll want to check this link, or better yet, subscribe to the daily summary.  I do not expect to repeat what I post.  If one is interested, they can read, and then we can discuss.  Billions of lives depend on our every second, and I for one, will waste not a one, as you should demand of me, and yourself.

2.  I'm not open to arguing, but with those of you that have earned it through your kindness (you know who you are) I am open to some further discussion and clarification, and to hear your thoughts, now.

3.  But when (if) I restart, one of the things I've learned is that I can't retain the clarity I need for that part of the work if I allow ANY dialog.  So, if there is to be any talk, NOW is the time.  Once, if, I restart, other than what I've written, said, and blog, there will be zero communication, internet or in person.

I've been holding at the body-weight of Day 15, measuring my calories daily, verified on the scale this past Wednesday - 157 lbs, for me.  When, if, I restart, I may start at zero, or Day 15.  Not sure yet.

Yes, I am riding a bull, riding a roller coaster, sailing in a storm - external and internal. Detach, if and when you need to.  I'll think none the less of you.

I experience my fits and starts this way - if my kid were pinned under a car, and it was only me that was there to get it off - I wouldn't know how, I'd grab this way, I'd grab that way, I'd try this, I'd try that, and I'd keep trying, I'd recognize I was failing, but I wouldn't stop trying, and trying new ways that seemed promising.  That's how it is with me.
