***** Activinos (activists in name only) do infinitely more damage than non activists. [This is going to come out so mean. But I am NOT feeling mean, or intending to be so at all.] Teresa of Calcutta said of the church, ' the greatest obstacle to people becoming Christian are those who preach the gospel but do not practice it.' Gandhi said 'if Christians would practice their Creed there would be no more Hindus.' We instantly see the truth of this, right? But not when it comes to activism, activinos do not see it in themselves. We deny it with all of our might. Maybe you knew what the English translation of the Greek for 'acting' is. I had no idea until a few years ago. Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, in the Greek, means to 'act the part.' Now acting, can be a noble pursuit, right? Unless it is undisclosed acting, acting the part of a brain surgeon, for example. Then, it can be a murderous crime. Activinoism is such a murderous crime. Albert Schweitzer spoke what is probably my favorite quote of all time, 'example is not the major thing in influencing people. It is the only thing.' If activists show that we do not really need to pay a dear price for what we want, that mere 'acting' will suffice, well then, A. Those who are influenced by such activists will do no more then the same, and B. Do you really think that the onlookers, and the opposition, cannot tell the difference between an actor and the real thing? The activino(s) himself has strong motivation to deceive himself. But the onlooker, and the opposition, have ample motivation to see the truth, the hypocrisy, and by gum, they always do!!! They always do. This is the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer. Does anyone today think those folks were acting? It was even immensely difficult, near impossible, for the most evil opposition, or the most cowardly onlooker, to think that those folks were acting back then. Why? Because what an activist does, what a true activist always always always always does, is offer to pay, in unmistakable terms, an ungodly price, and sometimes, unflinchingly, unfailingly, willingly pay the price if it is demanded. Watch Freedom Riders. Watch Gandhi. Watch Iron Jawed Angels. Watch Malala. Watch Diane Wilson in the mini documentary Texas Gold on Hulu and YouTube ( where I pirated it and put it up years ago). Oh, and by the way, if you watch or deeply ponder any of those folks, ask yourself this question: yes, as true activists, they pay an ungodly price, but would they rather be acting? :-) . LOL. Activism is just another word for loving, for serving the from the soul in solidarity with the neediest. This is the ONLY physiological source for joy, for the generation of joy for oneself. And it is generated with every breath for the true activist regardless of the material hell they invariably bring upon herself. Why else would folks like Jesus do what they do? They are simply the enlightened greedy, and if there is to be a future for creation it is long past time to learn to follow their example, greedily. Gandhi did not say 'act,' or preach of, or demand.... the change you wish to see in the world. He said 'be the change you wish to see in the world.' Be the change you wish to see in the world. It is the joy, the only joy, that surpasses all understanding.

HEAD SPINNING - AWAKE ALL LAST NIGHT... IF THE LAPTOP GETS REPAIRED... (details)

If funds are forthcoming to repair my laptop destroyed by a clinically deranged homeless guy 3 weeks ago ... 

I lay awake ALL NIGHT LONG last night, my head spinning... !!!!!!!!!!.... it will enable me to resume what I've not done in 2 years now - a all day stake out of Capitol Hill where the congress folks walk by, within inches... to get to the capitol... with my solar panel, SOLAR PANEL... driving the laptop all day long - that visual at some level would be powerfully in-your-face to the deniers, and could be used by the good-folks in congress. Oh well, whatever the Creator wants. (((HUGS))) to you both.  And when congress is gone for summer break... I expect to continue - where the major tourist groups are... close to 7 days per week... all day... dawn to dark... this guy with the Jesus / Universal Family / Christlike / Jesus (huge black and white letters) sitting with his solar panel, working on laptop (and online if somehow the wifi funds materialize... 30-60/month).  PROOF OF A FUTURE, THE FUTURE... RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES... Lincoln Memorial... Capitol Hill, Washington Monument... Jefferson Memorial... White House.....   OMG.  (Hey, Creator, Father, please get off your butt and make this happen?)

BTW, my paypal MAY work, if any funds are forthcoming. It would be worth a try. I had a tiny balance on this account I used once years ago... and it let me transfer that to my checking account. It would NOT let me transfer out from my checking account 2 weeks ago to that needy 'sister' in NJ, but it may well allow transfer in. Just in case.  

My beloved upstate 'Sister' Kathy Green, well, takes my breath away:


Ok kids ... Red tail hawk painting... I am going to auction it off to help the cause and James Mcginley!
Start bidding!!! Auction ends on Friday and it will go to the highest bidder! It's acrylic on canvas 16x20
Start your bidding!!! I will ship it for free anyplace in the America !
Again this is the man who we a need out there everyday! Please help us help him! Bid on the painting ! Or just donate! Our goal is small to some.. Big to others.. $330!

I finally heard from Dell, $330 to replace the motherboard in my computer. To buy a comparable machine, refurbished, would be over $800 from Dell. (see link) Argh. So, if I can come up with $330, that's the responsible choice. From the time of receipt by Dell at their repair depot, last Wednesday, I have 5 days to tell them - that is tomorrow afternoon deadline. If any souls wish to contribute toward this repair fee, now would be a good time to let me know. ZERO EXPECTATIONS. I AM UNWILLING TO ACCEPT ANY FUNDS THAT WOULD 'HURT' THE DONOR. But if any can afford to contribute, and feel compelled to.... If I am able to replace the computer, that leaves one other item in my work that needs support - monthly wifi of between $30 and $60 per month. Anyone that feels compelled to support my work in this way.... (((HUGS))) no matter what (ZERO Expectations. Just sayin)
