If Pres. Obama is assasinated you will wish you had done what?

It is not too late.  Yet.

If Pres. Obama is assassinated we will wish we had done what?

Life IS Unity with the Essential Truths of Life; or it is not "Life"

"God [Good] is Love, Life and Truth," Gandhi said.

(This is not my most concise, finished or clear writing, but is among the more
important.)

Human Life (metabolism) happens because of the Unity between
what the "True" environment demands, what the body Truly needs,
and the ability of the DNA to Truly represent and deliver the Truth of that.

If the DNA loses its ability to Truly deliver on that (mutations) Life ceases.

On a more macro level our nervous system has the experience of Life, so accute
that we exclaim it as "Life," when we are most in unity with the "realities"
of Extreme Human Demands and Needs.  The firefighters that rushed
in to save on 9/11, a mountain climber 6 hours up a sheer rock face,
or a Michelangelo totally possessed by the realities of the Sistine Chapel's,
his own, and his audience's needs.

Death (physical and emotional) occurs to the degree that separation happens
between us and "reality," particularly separation from the "reality," the
Truth of the pain and suffering of the least of these our human Family.

Jesus was aLive.  Gandhi, Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, Neo, Morpheus....
Scrooge came aLive - was reborn.

What Obama faces on our behalf Aragorn would RUN FROM

Gary Cooper and High Noon, for the last time.

And we sit and watch, as Obama fights for us. 

He confronts the military / US Insane over Afghanistan.

He confronts the US Insane over Health Care.

He confronts the military / US Insane over Nuc disarmament.

He confronts the military / US Insane over Honduras.

He confronts the military / US Insane over embrace of the UN.

He confronts the Financial Elite over regulation, Taxes, Social expenditures....

Etc....................................................................................................

And we sit, fricking watch, criticize, whine.... God damn US to Hell.  (And
It is.)




Imagine post appocalypse how we might pervert Einstein.

Imagine post apocalypse how we might pervert Einstein.

Put on your scientific hat for a moment.  Imagine post
apocalypse how we might pervert Einstein.  Think
Mad Max Thunderdome, or that Star Trek episode where
a post-apocalypse race possessed the the US Constitution
but having lost the knowledge of reading perverted it into
a "Religion," of gibberish, dogma, domination, hatred,
mumbo-jumbo - "We thup tista," they would chant, over
in the place of what we would read as "We the people...."

Post apocalypse in this way we probably would have a
book of Einstein on an alter, sprinkle holy water over
it, have chants, incantations, etc, etc, etc.  But we
would no longer practice, understand or implement what
he taught.

I give you the Teachings of Jesus in His Word and Deed. 
Today what the "Church" promulgates is Ritual, Dogma,
Hatred, Division... when what Jesus Authored was SIMPLY
Universal Love, PERIOD, by whatever name.

I do wish I were being cruel in this, or mean, cynical,
satirical....  No.  This is the hideous, murderous,
deadly reality; the Error (Sin) from which we are not likely
to recover. 

We've almost no time left to recover.

Life denying trick of the mind: THE CASUAL PROUNOUNCEMENT OF "GOOD," AND THE LIKE.

"The (?)" Life denying trick of the mind: THE CASUAL PRONOUNCEMENT OF "GOOD,"
as SUBSTITUTE for the actual STATE OF BEING, OR NOT.  Casually - "he is good,"
or "I am good...."  Murder.

Good is a way of being, a state of being, or NOT.

Brain surgeon is a way of being, or NOT (if in fact of my BEING I am NOT).

Marine is a way of being, or NOT (if in fact of my BEING I am not).

MLK Jr. was GOOD.  Teresa of Calcutta was GOOD.  Gandhi was GOOD. 
Eleanor Roosevelt was GOOD.  ALL BABIES are born to be GOOD.

Start Loving may or may not have the potential to be Marine, or to be Brain Surgeon.
POTENTIAL IS NOT STATE OF BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start Loving always had the potential to "BE" GOOD.  For most of his life he chose
to NOT "BE" GOOD.  Yes, he had goodness within him - the potential.  Occasionally
he dabbled in BEing GOOD, but that did not make his state, his WAY OF BEING - GOOD.

We are born  GOOD, the same way a healthy cell is born healthy - to be dedicated
to the work of the body.  But Start Fell away from that DEDICATION TO GOOD.

HE HAS CLIMBED BACK TOWARDS IT - GOOD - HEAVEN.

A seminary professor was vacationing

with his wife in Gatlinburg , TN.

One morning, they were eating breakfast at

a little restaurant, hoping to enjoy a quiet,

family meal. While they were waiting for

their food, they noticed a distinguished

looking, white-haired man moving from table

to table, visiting with the guests.



The professor leaned over and whispered to

his wife, 'I hope he doesn't come over here.'

But sure enough, the man did come over

to their table.

'Where are you folks from?'

he asked in a friendly voice.

' Oklahoma ,' they answered.

'Great to have you here in Tennessee ,'

the stranger said..

'What do you do for a living?'

'I teach at a seminary,' he replied.

'Oh, so you teach preachers how to preach, do

you? Well, I've got a really great story for you.'

And with that, the gentleman pulled up a chair

and sat down at the table with the couple.

The professor groaned and thought to himself,

'Great .. Just what I need ....

another preacher story!'

The man started, 'See that mountain over there?

(pointing out the restaurant window).

Not far from the base of that mountain,

there was a boy born to an unwed mother.

He had a hard time growing up, because

every place he went, he was always asked

the same question,

'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?'

Whether he was at school, in the grocery

store or drug store, people would ask the

same question, 'Who's your daddy?'

He would hide at recess and lunch time from

other students. He would avoid going in to

stores because that question hurt him so bad.

'When he was about 12 years old, a new

preacher came to his church. He would

always go in late and slip out early to

avoid hearing the question,

'Who's your daddy?'

But one day, the new preacher said the

benediction so fast that he got caught and

had to walk out with the crowd.

Just about the time he got to the back door,

the new preacher, not knowing anything

about him, put his hand on his shoulder

and asked him, 'Son, who's your daddy?'

The whole church got deathly quiet.

He could feel every eye in the church looking

at him Now everyone would finally know the

answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy?'

'This new preacher, though, sensed the

situation around him and using discernment

that only the Holy Spirit could give,

said the following to that scared little boy..

'Wait a minute! I know who you are!

I see the family resemblance now,

You are a child of God.'

With that he patted the boy on his shoulder

and said, 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance.

Go and claim it.'

'With that, the boy smiled for the first time in

a long time and walked out the door a changed

person. He was never the same again.

Whenever anybody asked him,

'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them ,

'I'm a Child of God..''

The distinguished gentleman got up from

the table and said, 'Isn't that a great story?'

The professor responded that it really

was a great story!

As the man turned to leave, he said,

'You know, if that new preacher hadn't told

me that I was one of God's children, I probably

never would have amounted to anything!'

And he walked away..

The seminary professor and his wife were

stunned. He called the waitress over & asked

her, 'Do you know who that man was -- the

one who just left that was sitting at our table?'

The waitress grinned and said, 'Of course.

Everybody here knows him. That's Ben Hooper.

He's governor of Tennessee !'

Someone in your life today needs a reminder

that they're one of God's children!

'The grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of God stands forever.' ~~Isaiah

YOU'RE ONE OF GOD'S CHILDREN!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!








Truth is manifest in our behavior - or Truth remains Unknown, Invisible, Hidden.

This is the function of constructive non-violent, non-hostile action - 
to show the superior power of the Truth-of-what-is-Good for Humanity.

There is no other way to make the Truth manifest.

Every other way besides LIVING THE TRUTH proves the Lie;
Proves / Manifests / Embodies that which is Wrong.

THIS IS YOU, AND ME: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Yes, I've "gotten" this story since I was young, but really only
in the last few days am I "getting it."

From a note to one of my profoundly sheroic sisters who is
being persecuted by her community for her works of Love:

Remember the story Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?  Now at
the surface, of course I got it long ago.  But the important
implications just hit me. 

Each of these two minds are entirely different - they
DON'T SEE THE SAME THINGS, THEY DON'T INTERPRET
THE SAME WAY, THEIR VALUES ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT,
AND THEY CAN'T SEE OR UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.
YET THEY RESIDE IN THE SAME BODY. 
Their EYES work different.  The pair of one sees a set of things,
the pair of the other DOES NOT SEE those things, but sees others,
literally.
Their EARS work different.
  Fundamentally.
Their MIND works different.  Fundamentally.
THAT'S US!!!!!!!

These folks that so horrify you - they are crazy, sick,
insane - they are Mr. Hyde.  My point isn't to excuse them,
but to diagnose them.  They ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT
THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY.  In a way, they can't help it -
it is a form of classic addiction - of the most dangerous,
murderous kind.

Teresa, King, Gandhi, Jesus... simply are Saved from their
Mr. Hyde, and died to save Us as well.  This is our work, or
the world is doomed.

They look like Humans, but they are not.
  The vast majority
of our brothers and sisters look like humans, but by the
time they are in their late teens, they are not.

Rick and Cynde.  We spoke for 30 minutes.   Unlike almost all the Lefties
I know, I'd get in a foxhole with these two any day.  We disagreed on
almost every fact - but we agreed entirely on what matters - commitment,
compassion, hard work, sacrifice for others.  They are fighters.  I'm
a fighter.  LIFE FIGHTS.  DEATH WATCHES.  Give us enough time
and we'd arrive at the same set of facts.

If the potential 60's marchers had ruled out ACTION BY THEMSELVES, PER SE?

[I wish the following were just some idealogical rant, rather than the Truth.]

Imagine if the potential 60's marchers had ruled-out ACTION BY THEMSELVES PER SE?

Why the Left is Defeated already:

1.  By definition of their behavior and mind-set, about which they are intransigent,
the Left holds themselves entirely irresponsible for whatever is happening.
By definition - it is the fault of Congress, the President, and or the Right - NEVER
THEMSELVES!  Thereby they have ruled out ACTION by THEMSELVES -
PER SE.  From today's Left no equivalent of - CIVIL RIGHTS MARCHERS, LABOR
ACTIVISTIONS, SALT MARCH....

2.  The RIGHT WINS BY DEFAULT IN THE ABSENCE OF ACTION FROM THE LEFT
(or Middle) - exactly because Entropy, the 2nd
Law of Thermodynamics wins by default.  The position of the Right
is Regression - Regression to a simpler, earlier state of social organization
is EASIER, requires LESS ENERGY - IS WHAT HAPPENS without the CONSTANT
excertions of ACTION from the Left - or Center.  The Right IS the EMBODYMENT OF THE
2nd law of Thermodynamics - they win by default.

3.  To synthesize 1 & 2 - the "L" masses (Lazy Lipservice Liberal Left) insists that
its only and primary  weapon is LIPSERVICE - and LIPSERVICE always
loses to LIFESERVICE - and the Right, as degenerate as it is (BECAUSE
it as degenerate as it is!!!) rises to LIFESERVICE when the status
quo is threatened.

Now the L's whipping boy Obama, HE, DESPITE them, fashioned a
coalition from the Middle to win the election.  OUR ONLY HOPE is that he can, again
without the LifeService of the "L's"  advance his agenda, even overcoming
all the "L" rocks, drag and diversion.

And nothing has changed.  We'd be getting Single Payer healthcare if we on

INACTION GUARANTEES OUR DEFEAT.  ALWAYS HAS.  ALWAYS WILL.

Joy / Heaven-on-earth are in THIS direction >>>>

Joy / Heaven-on-earth for YOU or ME are in THIS direction >>>>

HOW MANY REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, NEEDY PEOPLE SHOULD BE
DEEPLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GLAD FOR
WHAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING
TO DO FOR THEM?

It is not in the fact (if there are some or many such folks), but rather in your ongoing attempt that
Joy, Peace (of heart and mind), Love and Life - Heaven-on-earth -  are to be found.
It's how our nervous systems work.

If something wipes out everything I know and have become, please share this with me.
I could quickly re-boot, find my way back, from this. 

Thanks.

ps:  Pleasure is to be found in exactly the opposite direction.  :-(   :-)

HUGE GIFT

I just came across this by accident.  At Thomas insistence I read the book / essay
several years ago. 

Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed "The Fighting Quaker" and "Old Gimlet Eye", was a Major General in the U.S. Marine Corps and, at the time of his death, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history.

Here's the gift:

Obama - more in a day than others in a term... or lifetime...

Obama Plans Sunday Health Care Blitz

CBS News


"SENTIMENT WITHOUT ACTION IS THE RUIN OF THE SOUL."  Edward Abbey

Pres. Obama, for US, in a day risks more, commits more of himself, works more,
attempts more than:
* Most presidents in a term, or two,
* We Sheeple attempt in a lifetime.

SHAME on our Spectating.
SHAME on our Criticizing.
SHAME on our Rock Throwing.

START, WE HAVE THE RIGHT!  WE HAVE THE DUTY!  No.  We sheeple s lost the right
when WE RISK NOTHING, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOTHING. 

And, with our moral incompetence we sheeple lost the duty.

STAND UP, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

9.13.2009

Start L is very depressed at the moment.

[I had a wonderful conversation with a fellow at the Vigil this
morning - Bill.  Early 40's professional man, with kids.  It was a
wonderful connection - we covered much ground - and he
asked if since I've Lived this new life I've suffered depression.]

Bill,  :-)

You asked me if I ever suffered depression.  With the greatest
gusto I said NO!

Of course I was attempting to tell you the truth, but to my
amusement, at my many limitations, I write to tell you - absolutely
I suffer depressions.  I'm in one this afternoon - a significant
one.

One of my advanced degrees is in psychology.  Abe Maslow
is one of the handful of psychs whose work was not toxic -
but extremely health producing.  At a conference back
in the 1960's he was challenged for listing Abe Lincoln as one
of his Icons of human health with, 'Dr. Maslow, Abe Lincoln
was known to be depressive, an "illness," and you label him an
icon of human health?'

'Hmmmm,' Maslow replied.  'Yes.  Lincoln was in the midst of
a war destroying thousands of his brothers and sisters both
north and south.  He was deeply depressed about this.  And you
deem this unhealthy???'

A am in agony over, and depressed about the lethargy in my
brothers and sisters in this country regarding the Health Care
Legislation - and how the most promising minds I see insist
on sitting on the sidelines pontificating while the greatest
leader in the history of the world, Pres. Obama, stays on the
field of battle fighting for us, Alone.  You know the movie,
"High Noon," with Gary Cooper?

The question my brain (oh so limited) was hearing from you
when you said "depression," I was responding to Joy - was
there ever an instant when I didn't experience Joy.  No IS
the correct answer to that - including now.

In his studies of Self Actualized people, among the traits
he found among all was that they, 1. Were all completely
and totally dedicated to the well-being of humanity, and
2.  Practically all would relate that - 'Life is so wonderful
I almost can't stand it - it is just too much - excruciating.'

That is how it is.  The pain of the world is so acute in me
that at times it does lead to depression.  NEVER do I
regret either the pain or the depression.  I'd be "Dead" if
I lacked either.  A STONE would feel the pain so rampant
in the world today.  Yes? 

But in my own experience and in my ongoing
studies in many fields - the Agony and the Ecstasy are NEVER
separate;  NEVER.  The Agony of those needlessly
suffering is the FUEL, the ENGINE for LOVE and the
fruit of Living out of our Love  is JOY - Ecstasy.

It is not rare that I am depressed.  It is NEVER that I do
not Live Joy.  It is Heaven, and Hell.  :-)

Your brother,

Start
