I think maybe the most tragically Hidden Secret of Jesus, which I've
only recently come to see, head on, is - HE CALLED US TO BE SOLDIERS,
100% DEVOTED, 100% IN THE WAR, SOLDIERS. Does that sound
odd? Quaint? Obvious?... I think to most it could or would sound
all those things - cuz that's what we've been told by the 'church' we
are already. But I think we can see the Truth if we really and Truly
ask ourselves - 'by comparison to the Army, Airforce, Marines... are
we Soldiers? Laughable, right? Until seeing this, such scripture was
quite unintelligible to me such as -
"No, don't go bury your father, let the dead bury
the dead," "Whoever looks back can't plow the
furrow," "Pick up your cross...." Jesus was a Soldier fighting the only
true War for Humanity - with all the dedication, personal devotion,
personal risk, personal sacrifice of everything else, URGENCY... as do our
finest Marines. And He called us to Love as He Loved - to do the
same as He. Because, He saw that we were all Dead, and Killing our Children,
in the only way that mattered -their Hearts, because Our Hearts were
already Dead. He Died to Save us. He saw too that
our Deadness would lead to a material Apocalypse -
the destruction of Jews in Israel (which it did 70 years after they Crucified
Him instead of Following Him), and that it would lead to ultimate Earthly
Apocalypse, as it finally is now - Global Ecocide. This was all about
a Life and Death, URGENT struggle for the Life of Humanity, requiring
an all out unviliolent War by all out, Totally Dedicated Soldiers.
And we've made of it a mockery, dogma, empty, self-serving ritual,
an hour a week, part time when convenient, social-club membership.....
He felt totally alone by the end of His life, because He was. Even the
Disciples didn't get it - clueless. He didn't fault anyone, but He felt,
He was, totally alone. And that's how it is with me. But He Loved us
so much, that with His last breath, for the Infinite Joy of it, He fought
for us to come to Live, to Join that Army, and that too, is how it is
for me....
If you check my site you'll see I've posted some vlogs recently. My
only symptom so far of the cancer is frequent diarrhea, and mercifully,
the meds I got for that last week help a whole lot. My only other med symptom
is my teeth - the crowns are pretty much gone making eating more
and more painful. I expect to return to the med clinic this week and
inquire if there is anything they can to, at low price, to keep me going
a bit longer in the eating department.
The sadness of what I've spoken of above, and in the vlogs, should
crush me, except, thank God, I don't live with it. I Live, every breath,
with what I can do with each remaining second to maybe, after my
passing, to be of some Life, some Hope, some Love... to those in the future - and that
is a full outlet for Loving, and a complete Joy, Peace of Heart, and Passion, for me.

I've told the Creator this many times, and I say it again now - "Father, if you will avert Ecocide, if you will save my western brothers and sisters from their Affloholic, walking-Dead-selfishness (including the selfishness of selfishly worrying about their own salvation), I WILL GLADLY SPEND A TRILLION ETERNITIES IN WHATEVER HELL-FIRE YOU'VE GOT. I'd take that deal in a Heartbeat. In a Heartbeat. Loving"

***** "Gaia Earth City." Before Cancer took her, Dave's Sister's vision, for us
Published on Mar 15, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hHqs2poZVI
This is a short epic poem written
over many years by my late sister, Charlotte Warren. Its main theme was
inspired by a becoming sense of human progress through Conscious
Evolution and an embrace of the long dis-remembered Gaia Force. Gaia
being the Ancient Greek Goddess or "Mother of All."
It speaks of an awakening that is beginning to break in small monastic enclaves around the world but strives to connect the bio- networking meme of the human with the greater web of the living organism- Earth itself. The poem taps into the basic survival imperatives by citing the deeper forces that created Earth and the random cosmic events that balanced just so to create not only the rare phenomena of life but the gifted niche of human life itself.
It tracks in epic verse the rise of civilizations from our deep hunting/ gathering past through the revolution in Agriculture and the beginning of the first city/states and continues the human odyssey to the present day where human progress and its excesses may now threaten this very fragile balance for all "Gaians."
The poem at first reading appears to be an ethereal appeal to some Platonic ideal but it is far more practical than this in that its asks of an accounting of the development of human progress as a binary of both life affirming and destroying forces as a metaphor for Darwinian adaptation. The splitting of the atom,for example, as an adaptation, both advances the self interested agendas of nations who hold this force in the form of weapons but also threatens the greater balance of an inter-connected world in the fragile web of life. A further example would be the fossil fuel driven industrial economies that have propelled exponential growth in world population and species survival odds but now threatens the very balance of Earth's biosphere and of our place in the fragile balance of things. Charlotte's poem compels a new vision of Conscious Evolution that encourages an adaptive "Whole Earth" awareness based on the concept of collective empathy and cooperation as key to our very survival.
It ends with the Greek word for love "agape mou Gaia", meaning the Love of Mother Earth.
