A group of scientists has become infinitely more knowledgeable as to new species of life, newly found species of life, in the depths of the ocean, having plunged to never before reached, very dangerous depths that no one had yet explored. And so it is with me. Only when I leap to terrifying new spiritual and academic depths that I have never before had the courage or wisdom to dive into does my clarity, knowledge, understanding... increase. And how desperately I need these things to increase as I have been a total failure and precipitating meaningful social change thus far.

"People always use that saying "Walk a mile in somebody else's shoes before you judge them" like after they walk the mile, then they can judge, then they have the right. When in reality, the whole point is after you walk that mile, in anybody's shoes, there is no longer any judgement left, you can't judge, the entire impetus for judgement no longer remains. Judgement is gone, there is only understanding." Ryan Fitzmaurice

***** EDF 01.09.13 Wm. Thomas, died, January, age 62.  RIP. 2009.



Thomas, the world-class activist that backed me unconditionally.  [We agreed on almost nothing, LOL, in terms of policy, cept for what really mattered, like the Genocide of our Palestinian brothers and sisters by US, by backing our insane, criminal, right wing Zionist brothers and sisters.]  Yet, a few ever have, he saw in me a Spirit, "Loving, as long as I am alive you shall have a roof over the head of your work."  And for 3-5 years (I don't recall) he was true to his word.  Thomas realized that Spirit is Everything.  No one realizes that, but Thomas did.

Thomas was scathing, of near everything, and everybody.  In the activist world he saw "actors," hypocrites, but not the real thing.  Yet, among the greatest honors, the greatest validations I've ever received he told me, "You remind me of David Dellinger... and Phil Berrigan," his two greatest (deceased) heroes [aside from Jesus, and to a lesser degree Gandhi, and MLK Jr.], who he'd known personally and well;  Diane Wilson being his lone, living hero.

I figured I'd outlive his 62 years!  LOL

[BTW, Thomas founded, and was 100% of the Spirit of the 29 year White House Peace Vigil.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE else.  NO ONE.... Tho everyone has been criminally fooled into thinking it was Connie - his antithesis, his demise, largely.]

WHEN THE BIBLE IS RE-WRITTEN 1000 years hence, this chapter in Thomas life will be included:

Biblical Wandering in the Desert Do him the Honor, and yourself the favor, of completely reading this multi,  multi, multi link essay... that was one of the great leaps of Faith of our liftime, and, he felt,  the crowning achievement of his.

Thomas rests with Creation, with the Creator.

'Fascinating: Just Realized - of those I revere...

'Fascinating:  Just Realized - of those I significantly revere (1 out of a million)...

deceased - King, Gandhi, Jesus, Rachel Corrie, Steve Biko...
living - K, DW, SM, SS, USM ......
and / or with whom I feel affection - PS, PG...

Maybe as many as half or more have:

A.  Been divorced by their spouse

and or

B.  Rejected by some or all of their children
C.  Lived in Material poverty
D.  Received a pre-mature mortality

AND ALWAYS

E.  Had, or been close to, riches of the Spirit that not 1 in a million can Dream of, tragically.  Which  is why they do what they do.

"If you pick up your cross (if you devote your selves to the NEEDIEST in our global family) it will (not might, WILL) cost you husband, wife, son, daughter, house, farms... but you will receive 100 fold, in this lifetime (Wealth, Riches of the Spirit, the only Wealth, Riches, that there are, in Truth)."  Jesus.  100% correct, as usual.
