Very important exchange where they beloved brother who is also a Jehovah's Witness, met many years ago at my vigil at the White House. He wrote:

Good morning my friend.
You are likely aware of all of this but I thought of you when I watched this video from Aljazeer.
Ironically JWs in Russia are officially banned again, this time as "extremist." For decades under the KGB days, they were banned because they were considered "pacifists."  Even the New World Translation of the Bible now has been officially banned as "extremist literature."  As well as the child's story book, "My book of Bible stories."  The world is completely upside down.

You recently asked in one of your posts, "Creator, what have I done wrong?"  The answer that I would give to you if I was the Creator is, "You have done nothing wrong with the information that you have. You just have not considered all the options."  But what do I know?
If you start with the wrong premise, you will never come to the right conclusions.  That is just simple mathematics.
Your heart/consciousness/love/humanity is still driving you after all these years.  Your battle is against something bigger than you and I but the answer to your question is there.  You are just missing the same piece of the puzzle that you were missing years ago, when we first met.

No matter what my friend, I am at your side.

I reply:

LOL, and I am at your side. What I'm about to say is not Tit for Tat. Last night you were on my mind and only this morning did I see your email.

You were on my mind as Creator gave me a great gift of clarity. I have been in the desert many days now doing my best to get closer to the teachings and example of the historical Jesus. My heart, that of Creator in me, is my primary guide but I am also informed by the scholarly work of the Jesus seminar and of that extraordinary creation of crater, Leo Tolstoy in his writings on what he found in his translation of the Greek gospel.

Sometime probably today I will provide a update, maybe a video, of the clarity that is being given me.

Your sadness for me and what I am not seeing all these years, is reciprocal of the sadness I feel out of love for you in the truth that you are not seeing.

But before I go on let me say, I do find it a substantial validation by creator that you and your religious group are being discriminated against by the Russian Empire. Respect. And probably gratitude.

you may not be glad to know that the revelations of the last few days, the sharpening of my many years understanding now on which I have lived, was very much in the opposite direction of what you would want. It is that his life an example, and even that of some of his followers that wrote much of the ethics of the Gospels, their entire religion, 100% of their religion, was the Imperial rule of the heart within man, the Creator, the piece of the spirit of Creator, placed in all of us at our birth. The rule of heart over Flash and head. That's it. Jesus religion, and mine, was loving creator and our fellow creatures with our whole heart mind and soul. That's it. And what else could we possibly need?

Out of respect, that last is a rhetorical question.

More later. Hugs to you both. James

PS. There was much tongue-in-cheek when I asked Creator, what am I doing wrong? And great humility I think the Creator is quite pleased With my walk. I think the Jesus is quite pleased with my walk. I also expect to be writing unless surprised at my deep affection for the occasional tree or bush that I see growing out of a rock or out of a huge mountain of Boulders here in the desert. Popular meme from typically fairly affluent westerners, certainly in business, of the flower growing through concrete, makes my blood boil. The concrete is a consequence of the apathy of those with resources, the selfishness and hoarding of those with resources. Makes my blood boil.

But as my acceptance that material Armageddon unstoppably is on a folding becomes more acute, seemingly final Within Me, I now with much greater Clarity Sees at what I'm called to try and do, and that what Jesus felt he was called to try and do, was to find that seed in the midst of the desert but he might help have life.

Again, hugs

PPS. If there is much of love, creator, in and through your religious organization, and I think there is, as evidenced by Russia's Crackdown on you all, if there is that love, Jesus religion, then I will acknowledge that for some set of the population, your fellow religionists, having the edifice as you see it through the lens of JW, helps you, that set of the population do that. If that's what's going on I have no objection. It is not my way. It was not Jesus way. But loving, Imperial rule of the heart over / Flash and head, is the way, and if your conception helps you and your fellows do that, I am only glad.

Bible. Luke 12:18-24 [18]And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19]And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20]But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [21]So is he.....

[21]So is he.... that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. [22]And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23]The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [24]Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

My fellow liberal-minded friends. Where is it written that Superior education, even Superior contribution objectively, entitles one to more resources than our neediest sisters and brothers in creation? Which cell in the healthy body, be it brain, eye, skin, hair, is entitled to more than just the resources needed for its work? What work? Serving the well-being of the whole.

Inerrancy of the Bible? 1.  explain to me once again how not one of the thousands and thousands of hands controlling tens of thousands of words not one operated except under the total control of your God. 2. Remind me how you know this to be absolutely 100% completely true? Thank you. James

Take your ridicule of the right and shove it I say to my fellow liberal minded friends. Many of them are drowning, most of you are not. Yet you deride them for not taking on more when you take on almost nothing of significant personal cost. Stop your ugly destructive hypocrisy.

Creators Christmas gift to me. It is shared with you. Christmas number 66. 9 years ago receiving the makings for this gift. But just this morning, freezing in..... sweat climbing up to Joshua Tree, creator put it together for me and put a bow on it. How hateful, how sickening, how cruel and sad, if Jesus came to taunt us. What? On the one hand to tell us that we are Spirit, on the other hand to participate in worshipping, enslaving ourselves to intoxications, Comfort, flesh. That Creator, and creators number one son, are cruel in this way has been rejected by my soul forever. Will be rejected by my soul forever. But what of the miracle healings the the Miracles even Jesus seminar say are true of the man Jesus? Just psycho somatic? Hard for me to understand based on my life experience. The makings given to me not many years ago as to why was the loading of torturous deadly social diseasesheaped on people of the day by their version of today's Abomination, the church, organized religion. People completely cut off from society for having flaking skin.  completely cut off from society, the ultimate psychological torture, for behaving in unattractive ways. The person at the pool waiting for someone to carry him in is waiting for some hideous Church ritual to be fulfilling so he could rejoin Society, I finally see this morning. Jesus said, f*** that man. You were born a child of kreator stand up and receive your inheritance.

Update, plan. Sol, The vehicle, electrical system seems to have been stabilized. It is wounded but I think stable enough to commence a 12 mile, 1700 foot climb back into Joshua Tree Park, Hidden Valley Campground being the target. It is $7 a night and reasonably quiet. The plan is to spend much of the week there attempting to more deeply master the historical Jesus, his teaching, ethics, and actions. This guided and informed by the work of the Jesus seminar which points to his actual words, a relatively small subset, of the four popular Gospels. And also deep study of Leo Tolstoy translation of the original Greek Gospels. This in anticipation of a journey my body dreads through the hate drenched southern states of this country to commence the following week. Much or all of the following week is likely to be offline.

Jesus lived fighting Empire. Christmas is a central element thereof. Hence I don't celebrate it.

At the moment I can think of nothing nicer that has ever been spoken to me. This from a high school friend that I barely remember but we have been closed through Facebook in recent years.  "IF your health or whatever! is not working for your journey...during your journey..I will always be available to come get you. No matter where you are. You have a safe place forever on this stupid planet-depend on it."

Houston, Santa, what the hell is the deal here? Is there such a thing as negative Christmas present? Coal on steroids? I'm back out in the middle of nowhere planning to head further into nowhere tomorrow morning and The Marvelous electrical system in this vehicle, the control mechanism, is rapidly disintegrating in its performance. Like a cell phone or laptop going through death throes. That could involve a crushing or killing expense. Creator, what have I done wrong?

More time in the desert. I'm quite certain that more deeply and effectively channeling the goodness that the man Jesus channeled is how I'm called to serve. No, I...... don't know just what that means and certainly not just what form it will take. Traveling, being, teaching, I suspect are a big part of it. Being good in the world. Not good when it's convenient. Not good when it's safe. Not good when it's comfortable. Not good when it's popular. Good because that's what's needed and that's the ultimate rewarding existence. Much study of the man Jesus and the scholarship pertinent to has been undertaken by me in the last 15 years. What I'm called to do requires doing this more deeply and extensively now. I suspect that this calls me into the cold chilly Wendy desert for much of the next week. Back to Joshua Tree I suspect. My body is not particularly happy about this. Cold, windy, inhospitable, Barron. But my soul finds some gladness in it. I expect the journey will take place early tomorrow morning with arrival late tomorrow. Much or all of the next week is likely to be offline in study.

The church is an instrument of rich people to replace Jesus teaching with justification of their selfishness. Almost no exceptions. Since day one. Malice, intentionality, forethought, is not a requirement in any of this.

Gospel in brief, hapgood translation. Tolstoy desperately wanted to know the ethics of Jesus the man. It was clear to him he was getting nothing but corruption from the church teachings. So he went to the original Greek Gospels. In this darkest of times who can afford not to know what he found?

The Gospel of Jesus: According to the Jesus Seminar https://www.amazon.com/dp/0944344747/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gvapAbZXF2GJ3. Liars, Hippocrates, deceivers, delusional, those that claim to love Jesus yet care not to know the actual man. In this darkest of times at the end of everything I am seeking light in this man as did Schweitzer, Gandhi, King, Tolstoy, Einstein. How can anyone not? This is one of the sources I am studying again. How can you not if you care about anything?

I dearly wish that treating the symptoms was the answer. So clear, direct, obvious. It has been killing time. My last 17 years of doing so, killing time. I see no alternative to treating the disease, a universal Embrace of selfishness, the only cure, for the individual now, the total, hopeless, joyful, Embrace of being goodness in the world.
