Capitalism sells you that rare happiness, swimming in a cesspool, is preferable to the joyful effort of grabbing a tow rope, losing your own life in the service of the neediest. For joy. Bon appetit. We are f****** idiots.

 

For Joy your soul is serving the neediest in solidarity or it no longer lives.

 

That of me that I can control, my head and flesh, is mine. My soul, I cannot, but it is the source of the Divine Vision, intuition, inspiration... if I will only listen.

 I've long perceived that Chris hedges is our greatest intellectual, even more so than chompski. Except for one massive strategic error. The same error that great Souls like Martin Luther King, and Gandhi made. That I made in my life until this last year. Jesus never made that error from what I can see. That error being, that changes to the material world can be our Focus. Clean the inside of the cup Jesus told us over and over. It is only by getting our soul in charge of our head and Flesh that we thereby encourage others to do the same, and only that can eliminate the Dreadful symptoms of hatred and stupidity in the world. And although it is centuries, Millennia, too late, to save the species, it is not too late to save one's own soul oh, and maybe that of a neighbor, for the joy of it. Anyway, seems to me that's how Jesus saw it, and lived it, and me too. Yes, we cannot Escape impacting the material world, but if we use our energies on the symptoms the root cause continues to wreak destruction.

To my birth month well-wishers on Facebook

Yes, I am so strange. Like Temple Grandin, I feel like I am a martian born on Earth. But be that as it may, my eyes closed  here are because in my totally dark environment the best I could do to create this video was to turn the LED facing at me and it's really bright.

 

The greatest expression of political and moral Authority since Martin Luther King Jr? Extraordinary. Well done.

Sadly he is mistaken on the two most important things as was dr. King. He eloquently illustrates all that matters is I, what I do, what I make of my life, and then he says exactly the opposite. He is correct in the first case. And he suggests that there's a political solution and there's not for two reasons, and they're related. It's too late, and it's too late because we've never done what Jesus said which is to put our whole life into cultivating our own soul, putting it in charge of the head and flesh that otherwise wreak destruction and thereby possibly encourage others to do the same. But a wonderful article none the less.

Only those of the Soul can follow, are following, Jesus' joyful path. Can you find yours, as opposed to your head and Flesh?

 

Does James hate God, or hate wealth? The answer is unclear. Sept 4

 

I've hated these games all my life. I'm unable to play. Jesus, Buddha, Confucius too I think. All of the L being so I think. Maybe they're defining characteristic.

We all play the status game, but

Three sacred encounters, Daniel, then the two pastors.

 

Jesus: if you do not hate your life in this world you [are] not my disciple.

 

Are you a Christian this Sweet Soul asked?

Just as it can take a thousand years to grow a tree, so it can take hundreds or thousands of years to liberate the human Souls from the prison of civilization. Let's get on with it.

Being friends with is a deadly empowerment of my head and flesh. For my freshman year in college this was miraculously avoided and I was friends to everyone. But then it stopped in the miracle ended and I didn't know why. Similar thing last night. I have more and more respect for the early monasteries. Going to create a place of sanity.

Progress. P2. I was blind and now I see the joy of soul in charge.

I don't remember when this sight was lost. It may be several years. I remember when I gained it and held onto it for many years. It was during my activism in Washington DC in roughly the 2008 time frame. This is well after I had left to the death grip of the material world but what happened was an extreme step. I don't remember the

Really hopeful progress. P1. James self liberating from head and flesh tyranny.

James has been working really really really really hard in this direction and seen almost no progress. But maybe that's changing now.
He has spoken in previous posts within the last month of the instrument that he has resurrected and customized for the growth that he understands is required of him now. And those earlier posts on this coach, personal trainer, friend, can easily be found on this blog and should be reviewed.

1.14.20 A tough, important, experience last night. Failure and learning opportunity.

Notice. Thru an oversight James thinks he did not post this when three or four days ago it occurred. This was a really important experience for him and it has helped spark considerable growth since.

 On this peaceful remote Mississippi shoreline about a mile and a 1/2 from the casino is a well paved pull out where multiple times now saw and I have spent the night. And as is not atypical the silence is sometimes broken, sometimes all night long, by someone in a car also in the area pull out with their radio going . Last night was such a thing. James had attempted to go to sleep a little earlier than normal And the music which it turns out was somewhat funneled by the shape of James vehicle and roof, was driving him nuts.  and nothing in his mind that he tried to distract himself was working. He thought he knew who it was, a fela in a older truck that lives out of his truck. And finally, James quite unhappy with himself, he decided to speak to the individual. When he poked his head out he saw it was not that vehicle it was someone else entirely and he decided not to speak to the individual. It seems unlikely that the vehicle saw James but within 10 minutes or so it was gone. 

This was fairly substantial for James. To realize that in some circumstances he was unable to stay with soul in charge that his Flesh could be so empowered, maybe the mind so empowered that they Hi Jack James and drove him nuts. What if James winds up in a torture cell sometime? He frequently thinks for this and tries to be prepared. Such a silly little thing last night showed him he is far from prepared. 

This after yesterday writing at some length his dismay at least with the amount of time that Sorokin has spent in the ways and power of love talking about the would be experts of the sole doing all sorts of atrocities to themselves to free themselves from the tyrany of head and Flash. Upon reflecting on James failure last night he gained some sympathy for their efforts.
