Jesus Family? Those who do unto His least of these...

"Family" has two directions to its meaning doesn't it.

Family can mean those to whom I am family - unconditionally loving and caring.

Family can mean those who are unconditionally loving to me.

QUESTION: To the healthy adult what is the extreme determinant of who is "family?"
ANSWER: "Family" is who in a crisis, in an emergency takes heroic, unconditionally loving care of you OR YOUR "CHILDREN" RIGHT!?!?!?!

"Who is my mother and my brother?" "As you do unto the least of these my family, you do unto me." 1 John: "Whoever claims to abide in Jesus aught to live just like Jesus lived."

If your life is dedicated to the "least of these [His] family" YOU are part of His family.

If your life is NOT dedicated to the "least of these [His] family, you are OUTSIDE of His family; not a very Heavenly, Joyful place to be.

The Anti-Christ: American Capitalism and its Export

This is the Beast of Biblical fame - unbridled worship of Mammon / Selfishness - Sanctioned War of the Strong upon the Weak... WESTERN CAPITALISM.

Jesus taught the Golden Rule: "Do unto others All that you would have them do unto you."

Adam Smith with Capitalism taught: "Do unto others before they do unto you and let God work the rest out."

We ignore Jesus and worship Adam Smith.

Sorry, no more time to explain. YOU need to put the rest together. You NEED to put the rest together, or Happy Armageddon. No kidding.

The Catholic Workers have been establishing communities for 70 years that exist outside of the Beast / Capitalism / Selfishness. You must explore seriously what they do. Now.

I have been thinking that the "Church" was the Beast - Mammon. No, the Church is too impotent to be the Beast. The Church is the Sanctifier and room deodorizer for the Beast so we can tolerate its smell. I wish I were being the least bit cynical.

Gandhi: "It is as much a moral duty to refuse to cooperate with evil as it is to avoid doing evil."

You must remove yourself from the Capitalist system; you must remove yourself from the Beast.

Good Friday: "Come on, follow me!!!!" Jesus was shouting!

This is how I think it was. I prayed a lot on this Friday - hours. Jesus was so pleased and excited with how the day went.

"Wow, did you see how clear things were?!?!? Did you see the sharp contrast between my totally unconditional, heroic love and the heartlessness of the State and Religious Institutions!?!?! Some people had to get it, were going to get it. Oh what a day!!! I am so happy. This was the gift I was born to give, in the hopes of Saving Humanity!!!!"

This is all He would talk about!

But that was 2000 years ago. Now Jesus is broken. We've crucified him anew. "What did I do it for?" He asks himself.

2nd Law of Thermodynamics - Entropy. Brotherhood is the opposite.

Entropy - the tendency for everything to break down into smaller and smaller parts - things rot, people die, civilizations decay, rocks turn to dust....

Brotherhood / Humanity / God / Love / Otherishness / Conscience / Compassion is the counter to the immutable law of Entropy in human concerns. Brotherhood is what makes the Inner Family, community, society - healthy, whole and survive. NOTHING ELSE WILL AND CAN.

SELFISHNESS is the agent of Entropy - Selfishness is Entropy by another name.

This is physics folks.

If we don't get on with a Heroic effort to Save Darfur, NOTHING will restart the Brotherhood / Humanity that is all but extinguished in this most hedonistic, most Mammon Worshiping, most ENTROPY WORSHIPING society that planet earth has ever seen. Game Over, Well Deserved Hell On Earth Irreversibly. With not enough Brotherhood / Humanity to counter Entropy all systems, the last vestiges of "civilization" will turn to dust.

This is Physics folks.

"Peace!" This is the Devil's Greeting

Yes, I think this is very serious.

"Peace" [as state of things] is not the opposite of war [an activity of people]; that "peace" is literally only achievable in death. In no form is life possible in "peace."

"PeaceMaking" is what we need to pray, think, dream, plan, say and LIVE in opposition to "war." This is way more than semantics. Focus is everything.

Jesus did not say "Blessed is Peace;" he said, "
"Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9).

PeaceMaking be with you.

Darfur is so somple to solve! So is Congo, Palestine, Iraq....

... world hunger, poverty, curable disease, global warming.... I'll try to show you what I mean.

It is so cool that the Washington Post writer met with the Sudan Ambassador to talk about the Hunger Strike. In my fantasy I wish I had been there when he said what a "complex" situation Darfur was - that I shouldn't die for such a thing. Of course this is the entire problem with him, Bashir, State Dept, congress, Bush, US InActivsts of all stripes. "Oh it is so complicated!" everyone wails.

It is actually very simple, I wanted to tell him. Just imagine that an all powerful entity has just placed your dearest loved one in one of the camps and you are told that the only way you can save them is to stop the Genocide, and you have until June 30. Mr. Ambassador, Darfur just got a whole lot simpler, didn't it?

We are all trying to Save Darfur with our "heads." It can't happen. The "head" is neither wise enough, inspired enough, courageous enough, or motivated enough. The exercise above puts your "Heart" in charge with all that the "head" is missing. Darfur is easy for the "heart" to solve; I'd have liked to tell him. Actually I'm dying to tell him and everyone that passes the embassy the same thing. If they listen, it will Rescue and Restore Darfur. Nothing else can and will.

In the "Danger Zone?" Alive!

Remember the song from "Top Gun?"

Oh my goodness, common wisdom in our society is so wrong isn't it?

It does not even bear explanation, just emphasis: IN THE "DANGER ZONE?" ALIVE.

Off where it is save and routine? DEAD.

DEFINITION OF VIOLENCE - "Enemy," Non-Brotherly, Selfish, Not-as-you-would-have-them-do behavior

Excluding brutally tough love.

I am speaking as a trained Psychologist - 2 years formal at the Masters Level (Streight "A's" except a "C" in Ethics, of which I am deeply proud), 20 years by avocation in professional (organizational turn-around in industry) and personal. See Alfred Adler elsewhere throughout this site.

NO Adler is not popular any more than UNADULTERATED JESUS IS TODAY, OR WAS IN 33 AD, and for the exact same reason - Mortal Enemy #1 of the Flesh / Evil Spirit / Demon / Selfishness / State

DEFINITION OF LOVING (NONVIOLENCE) - Brotherly, Loving, Otherish, as-you-would-have-them do behavior

I am speaking as a trained Psychologist - 2 years formal at the Masters Level (Straight "A's" except a "C" in Ethics, of which I am deeply proud), 20 years by avocation in professional (organizational turn-around in industry) and personal.

See Alfred Adler elsewhere throughout this site.

Note: These implications are huge. Think about it: Is it brotherly to steal / take property without approval for those who are starving? Well if clinically "right mind," is brotherliness, and hostility is insanity if all else fails - announcing to your "brother" [oppressor] that you must break into his store that has food he is inhumanely (psychotically) hoarding, may be the only way to "heal" him/her; to shock him/her to "right mind, sanity. You owe Militantly Tough, mortally self-sacrificial Love it to your brother - you are morally bound. You must give fore-warning, you must lovingly accept the inhumanity he doubtless will unleash on you, even unto death, if you love him / her.

It is time to get rid of the term "Nonviolence." Let's use the terminology that Jesus died to give us - Brotherhood.

We each need to BE a Prayer for those in need

Yes, this concept was mentioned in an earlier post.

But I find it so right, and so integral to my life right now I want to share the idea again for emphasis and clarity.

Clearly, I am a prayer for our Darfur family, the way I am living right now. I've never had that clarity and the Peace, Joy, Love and Life that comes with it.

I want to be this every second of my life. I just can't imagine anything better - and I've tried it all. Imagine if I can be a Prayer for Darfur, Palestine, Congo, Haiti, Guatemala, Chester, Washington Peace Center / Prop1 / Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.... Of just for Darfur if that is all the time I am give.

I am a Prayer for 3 million tortured brothers and sisters in Darfur. Join me. It doesn't get any better than this.

Un-Happy Easter

Hours of prayer, contemplating how my master Jesus is feeling on Easter.

I honestly think He is broken. He needs our help. On the first Easter and maybe for 200 that followed He was Hopeful and Overjoyed. He gave His life to give Brotherhood birth. He gave it in the most heroic, self-sacrificial way imaginable. His gift cost Him so much.

We have pissed all over the gift. We despoil it every day. Jesus is crushed.

NOW we need to lay down our lives to heal His. Now.

Our Brother gave us everything.

Now, we need to lay down our lives and give Him everything. It is time to become His Church, his Army of brothers that will not stop sacrificing their lives until His Kingdom - Heaven on Earth prevails on this planet.

Oh what a joy. Don't resist any longer.

I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, FATHER ALMIGHTY

"God is Love," 1 John.
"God is Love, God is Love, God is Love," Mother Teresa
"God is Love, Truth, and Life," Gandhi.

Beloved Inner Family and friends,

The contents of this post are an Easter gift to me from Our Father. I do not know of ever receiving a more wonderful, important gift.

They say that the fish is the last one to discover water.

Am I the last one to realize that my entire adult life has been based on an unshakable belief in, love of, and faith in God?

My entire business career in building and leading organizations was entirely based on infusing unconditional love as the basis of all operations, as the only way of working the Miracles that needed to be unleashed.

The last six years or more I have turned my life entirely over to what I imaging God's, and Jesus' will for me to be.

This summer I realized that I will for the rest of my life live on Brotherhood, what Jesus died to give us, or I will happily die.

My entire being Loves Jesus and strives to do His will.

Why my confusion up until this week; My profession that I did NOT believe in god? We have the world's worst Death Camps here in the US:
Business School, Church, Nationalism, College, K-12, Businesses. These are dedicated to and depend upon successfully immobilizing our Heart, our Father's Kingdom, in favor of the materially valued "Head" that so nicely does the will of the Flesh for the glory of Mammon. I hope to blog more on these Death Camps soon. And, no, I am deadly serious.

Mother Teresa, "The greatest obstacle to people becoming Christian are those who preach the Gospel but do not preach it." This, these Death Houses, are extremely confusing. The Deathly Double Bind of Psychology. I'm still working through and trying to undo all the damage and confusion they have wrought within me.

God to me is at LEAST the most powerful, hopeful force in the universe. Like gravity He / She / It is unknown in substance and origin. But who can doubt gravity? Who can doubt God? There is two much force in my life and throughout history among the wise for me not to have based my entire life, to have thrown my entire life onto that force of God in faith, as few throw themselves on the wind off a cliff hang-gliding.

Let's all go radically Hang Gliding.

Easter Revelation: World's only problem - no church.

This Passion weekend I've spent almost all of Friday and Saturday wondering / praying about what Jesus was thinking and feeling on Friday when He was crucified, and now, looking back; and most importantly - what does He want for the world.

He wants us to build His Church, not the abomination that exists now - exactly what He died to pull down 2000 years ago - Hypocrites, wolves in sheep's clothing.

The Church is People that Show their Love for one another. There is nothing but this, universal brotherhood, that can save the planet.

US Death Camps

World Reknown Psychologist Erik Erikson: "Healthy adulthood is spent advancing the wellbeing of the next generation."

Alfred Adler - greatest of all psychologist: "The hallmark of psychological health is living for the wellbeing of others."

Abraham Maslow: "The fully actualized [healthy] human being spends their entire lives trying to help all of humanity."

Why is it that only one in a million of us are psychologically healthy? US Death Camps: Elementary School, Middle School, High School, College, Grad School, Business, Church.... These are the death camps of the soul.

Not Responsible for xxx? Not aLive.

Not responsible for Darfur Genocide for example?

Like a corpse, you are not aLive then (unless you are already giving your life to some other of the least of these.) Live things are thereby responsible - response/ABLE. Dead things are not.

1 John: "CHRISTIANS" LIVE JUST LIKE JESUS LIVED!

This is the most important sentence in the bible for 2007

1 John, Chapter 2: "This is how we may know that we are in unity with Him. Whoever claims to abide in Him ought to live just like He lived."

Jesus Agony? How we have crucified his teachings.

The pain of the cross was nothing compared with the agony we cause him every day that we pervert and descerate His teachings - what He died to give us.

Not Laying your Life down for the needy? Psychologically Damaged.

The selfishness and cowardice that is our religion in this country is patholocical - clinically.

See Dr. Alfred Adler elsewhere on this site.

Dr. King, "A man is not fit (equipped/able) to Live who does not know what he would give is life for."

Jesus, "Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." (Mark 8:35)

To whom does Einstein belong? Same with Jesus.

Vinoba Bhave was one of Gandhi’s closest and most trusted disciples. One of the most respected practitioners of non-violence in the world today, he has spent the last twenty years walking through India, begging land for the peasants of that country, and directing the land development movement.

"I believe in Jesus Christ, but do not believe in circumscribing him within strictly sectarian or theological walls. To me Jesus was something far beyond any individual phenomenon. [Jesus] was Love and Compassion incarnate. We can carry his message to the people by serving them with love, mercy and compassion in our hearts. That message will spread despite you and me, because it is the innermost cry of the human heart."

THE "HEART:" KINGDOM OF GOD; ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANKIND

The absolute and complete PROOF of the following? Look to your heart. Think about it. You'll see. You are the proof.

What within our nervous system we know as our "Heart" is:
* The Kingdom of God within us
* God
* God within us
* Love
* Strength
* Courage
* Otherishness (the exact opposite of selfishness)


The source of:
* Vision
* Divine inspiration
* Miracles
* Insight
* Wisdom
* Intelligence (the 99% of your brain that consciousness can never access)
* Compassion
* Empathy
* UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD - it knows nothing else

The Head has gotten us to the brink of Hell, of Armageddon (or over the brink for about 4 billion of our brothers and sisters that we in the US helped to push over that brink through our murderous selfishness).

The Heart is the only thing wise enough, smart enough, strong enough and with the vision to get us out of this hell, back from the brink of extinction and finally on to Heaven on Earth.

Jesus, Gandhi, King and Buddha and others suggested we dwell 24/7 within our hearts; that there would be hell to pay if we didn't; and Heaven if we did.

I see and experience now with absolutely and perfect certainty that they were correct.

E=MCsqd. "THY KINGDOM COMES AS THY WILL IS DONE..."

Folks, I continue to be certain that this blog is Divine Revelation. I know, I know, why would God use me!?!?!??! I don't get it either, but She has.

Ignore this site and it is game over. Incorporate this site into your DNA, Live it, and the doors to Heaven on Earth crack open. I am certain of this.

But everything on this site, I just now see, is contained in this phrase from the Lord's Prayer:

3. "Your Kingdom come[s]"
4. "[As] Your will [is] done on earth as it is in Heaven

This is astonishing to me. Just as E=MCsqd unleashed the secrets of the Universe, the above phrase is the key to Heaven on Earth.

It is the formula for heaven on earth in two ways:
A. It is the perfect psychological formula for moving your consciousness from the Hell of selfishness ("Flesh" and "Head") to the Heaven (infinite Solidarity, Soul, Service - Love, Peace, Joy, Life) of Spirit / Heart / Humanity / unity with God.
B. It is the perfect and only formula for creating a material presence of Heaven on Earth - universal, absolutely prevailing brotherhood across the globe. I know now with perfect certainty what Jesus was dying to show us - that Heaven on Earth is a perfectly and absolutely achievable choice for humankind. This phrase is the Key. Duh.

Use the key. Be the key.

"And when I die, and when I'm gone...

... There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on," Blood, Sweat and Tears.

I don't know if early July will be the end for the "cell" called Start Loving or not. I am unconcerned. I'm concerned about the other 50 billion cells in my body that are headed toward Armageddon with certainty unless I help save them. One cell for 50 billion? Pretty good deal; a deal to die for, 10,000 times. Seriously.

If and when my body leaves:

* Ever since I was a very little child I have found entirely sacred and gloriously wonderful the custom in certain native American tribes that when a person can no longer be a contribution to the tribe they quietly and unannounced disappear into the woods. Please, I am giving my life to try and serve, to try and Save our global tribe. If and when God accepts so much of my contributions that I have nothing left to give, help me into the woods. In the name of God do not desecrate my life by squandering on me in the event of stroke or whatever other cataclysmic failure resources you could spend on my other 50 billion cells (the born and unborn of the world). I am completing a living will to this effect but as my beloved I beg for your compliance.

* If and when it is my time to leave, if you have a gathering, and I hope you do cuz I want you all together - my Divine Inner family - I want you to take the whole day - beforehand go through my blogs and select favorite readings and read them to each other. I have been given Divine Revelation and it is all on the blogs. If this Revelation is lost, if it is not planted in you and spread by you, there will be Hell to pay. Before God I am deadly serious.

You know that where most of us are morbidly Dying for Stuff, Superiority, and Systems/Institutions, Jesus, me and others are Dying for Heaven on Earth and the Salvation - Soul in Solidarity Serving. My life is to be envied and emulated with greed. You know that I am among the most joyful, alive people you have ever met. It is entirely because of what I am dying for.

Be happy for me. Be over joyed for me. Follow Jesus and me, for the Life of it; for the Joy of it; for the Love of it; for the Hope of it. It IS Heaven on Earth.

Your brother eternally, Start Loving

"HEART" FULLY USES "HEAD." "HEAD" TOTALLY IGNORES "HEART."

This is the problem.

This is the hope.

We don't recognize, we have absolutely no awareness of what we are doing to ourselves.

That within our nervous system we can identify as our "head," is obsessed with either:

1. Solving intellectually challenging problems (like inventing the nuclear bomb, seriously), or

2. Satisfying the desires of the flesh - satisfying selfish desires.

THE HEAD NEVER THINKS ABOUT THE HEART. This effectively starves to death our Hearts. Our hearts in this Head/Stuff oriented culture are viewed, when they are viewed at all, our hearts are viewed as unrealistic, weak, irrational, dangerous (TRUE), uncontrollable (TRUE), independent (TRUE), impractical (TRUE - they see miracles).... So they are ignored or punished in to a barely alive coma.

What we know as our "Heart" ALWAYS USES EVERY RESOURCE AT ITS DISPOSAL - ESPECIALLY THE HEAD. The Heart is the seat of wisdom, vision, understanding, inspiration.... We're talking clinical psychology here - not abstract mysticism. Ok, maybe both.

Grasp this. If you decide, as Jesus died to help you decide, to Live within your Heart, our Father's Kingdom, then your Head and everything else will be fully and entirely utilized. If you do not decide, the culture will decide for you and you and your Heart will be clinically dead for as long as you exist.

"Founders" gave us penicillin; Their "Followers" eventually gave us Crack

Jesus gave us the keys to the Kingdom on Earth - a lifestyle of 100% 24/7 radical, self-sacrificial brotherhood. Doing it is Heaven on Earth. Doing it BRINGS Heaven TO earth.

Jesus "followers" the Church of today (you know, the Scribes, Pharisees and Hypocrites) bring us feel-good-about-selfishness and being slave not to Flesh and the State. Extreme pleasure. Spiritual Hell. IS BRINGING ARMAGEDDON TO EARTH.

Those who have found the "Heart," Heaven on Earth give us Penicillin.

Those who have NEVER found the heart, only "Flesh/Head give us Crack cocaine.

There is all the difference in the world. It is simply a matter of life and death.

I am a "prayer" for the genocide to stop. You?

Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike: Bringing death to our doorstep.

Why aren't YOU dying to stop the Genocide?

We must become bunkerbusters to the glacier of selfishness entoumbing human hearts

Salvation: Sickening selfishness, Awakening the heart
