Friends, something exquisite just happened to me. Start
Hi.
About a month ago in the Park I was on post and a woman with a few
grandchildren approached. We spoke for a while, and sadly I don't
remember the particulars - but my focus is always the same -
the Vigil, Thomas founding it, it continuing with Connie and now my
help, anti-nuclear, climate protection and repair, Palestine....
that we do this out of Love for our global human family, that Waging
Love with greater ferocity, and greater numbers than the world
has waged death is our entire hope; that there is no other ....
I could tell she was deeply moved.
At the end, I asked where she was from - Connecticut she said, and
then mentioned that she is the wife of William Sloan Coffin. If you
don't know, and I did, William was Chaplin at Yale during the Vietnam
era and one of the most eloquent, first, most courageous, outspoken opponents
of that horrible, horrible, horrible war. A book that Ellen and Thomas
connected me with that I've excerpted here was my exposure to his
sublime Soul and writings - his essay is excerpted here:
Militant Non-Violence, William Sloane Coffin
I said that reading more of his work was high on
my list. I mentioned that I'd searched for more of
his work at the DC Libraries, but they had none. She said she would
like to send me one of his books. We spoke a few more words and then
she left (forgetting to get my address.) I let it go.
10 minutes later she was back - "I forgot to get your address."
Last week a copy of William's "Credo" arrived. Only just now did I
have a moment to begin leafing through. The first chapter is
entitled "Faith, Hope, Love." On the first page of this chapter she
had written a note: "* THIS IS FOR YOU!" Here is what she
had marked, of William's writings (and now I weep):
"Socrates had it wrong: it is not the unexamined but finally the uncommitted life
that is not worth living. Descartes too was mistaken; "Cogito ergo sum" - "I think
therefore I am"? Nonsense. "Amo ergo sum" - "I love therefore I am." Or. as with
unconscious eloquence St. Paul wrote, "Now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
and the greatest of these is love." I believe that. I believe it is better not to live
than not to love." William Sloan Coffin, by way of his wife Randy.
Your brother,
Start Loving

"Church:" The nail that kills Jesus, again, and again....
"Church:" The nail that kills Jesus, again, and again....
Imagine what would happen to the Marines if EXACTLY as the
"Church" was perverted to mean not PEOPLE of a specific
Character, Commitment, Competence, but mere buildings and property...
imagine the Marines were convinced of the same - that Camp Lejeune
IS the Marines. That a Marine is therefore SIMPLY someone who
"attends" and "pays dues" at Camp Lejeune. This would be
the killing of the military!!!!
This is EXACTLY what the Christ killers pulled off 1800 years ago,
and every day since. THESE are the Christ-killers:
"Church" is the Chirst-killer as defined this way.
"Christian" is the Christ-killer defined this way.
And these may be in the final stages of killing
all of Humanity.
It may be too late to Save us.
"Those who have eyes must see.
Those who have ears must hear."
We need to hurry.

Consequently he who molds public

If "Nuclear Family" persists, it is the death knell for us all.
Of the genius Ashley Montague (Princeton, Yale prof) the NYTimes wrote in
the1950's - 'If the world does not embrace his [ideas] we will not make it.'
"Our problem is not the absence of Love.
Our problem is the presence of Tribal Love."

NPR this morning had an hour long segment on robotics - that this is
the age of their proliferation. It was excruciating to listen to. Oh yes,
at a younger age for me I'd have been enamored.
Why now sickened, horrified?! OMG. #2. Although Military was never
mentioned, Military OF COURSE will be the initial, primary, dominant use.
BUT, #1 - THE ROBOTS ARE OF, BY AND FOR THE RICH!!! DUH!!! US!!!!!!!!!!
"Start, you conspiratorial moron! Don't you know that they will do things
like help MD's SAVE CHILDRENS LIVES!?!???!?!?"
THIS IS WHERE I GET REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SICK TO MY STOMACH. THIS IS WHERE I
REALIZE THAT "NUCLEAR FAMILY," "MY" FAMILY, "MY" TOWN, "MY" SCHOOL,
"MY" COMPANY, "MY" COUNTRY, "MY" CHURCH... ARE OUR DEATH.
1. HOW MANY OF THE 4 BILLION FOLKS EXISTING ON $4 PER DAY WILL THESE
ROBOTS HELP?
2. HOW MANY OF THEIR CHILDREN WILL THEY SAVE? HOW MANY OF THE 28 MILLION
CHILDREN THAT DIE EVERY YEAR WILL THEY HELP?
3. HOW MANY WOULD WE LIFT FROM POVERTY, SAVE, IF THE BILLIONS BEING
SPENT ON ROBOTICS, IF THE 10,000'S OF THE WORLD'S BEST MINDS WERE
NOT DISTRACTED BY ROBOTS FOR THE RICH, BUT ELIMINATING POVERTY?????
All given license by "MY" family, "MY" group.... IF IT WERE OUR FAMILY,
INCLUDING THE 4B IN POVERTY, WE COULDN'T DO THIS!!!!!!!! OF COURSE
WE'D DEVOTE OURSELVES TO THE POOREST OF OUR FAMILY, THE
4 BILLION!!!!
AND AS LONG AS "NUCLEAR FAMILY" EXISTS, WE NEVER WILL. AND WE WILL
THINK THAT WE DO GOOD, "GOD'S WILL" IN THIS. I DID.

Deeply Lonely much of my life, Fully Alone now, and no longer Lonely!!! :-)
Yes Nancy, SC, K, D, Ellen... are in my life - Friends as I've never had before.
But physically I am extremely alone.
But I AM NEVER LONELY. Why? Because I AM WITH ALL of my 6.8 billion
sisters and brothers, ESPECIALLY those most suffering, EVERY WAKING
MOMENT.
I am describing how my life felt, and feels. Astonishing. WONDERFUL.
Universal Love is, well, er, um - HEAVEN.
That it be unrequited is quite irrelevant.

In US "Freedom" means Freedom from Responsibility, Humanity, Brotherood...
Freedom from ...decency, consideration, accountability, restraint....
Freedom to ... pollute, steal resources, neglect the poor, hoard
and squander resources on ourselves, deny the consequences of
our irresponsibility....
Freedom to do whatever pleases us regardless of the impact
on the poor, the needy around the country, around the world.
Is this not the Truth? Really? REALLY?
