Start, Wage, Loving: For Joy Serve Soul In Solidarity

Con't: Selfishness IS Hell. There IS no other. None other is needed.

It's that we are born these nearly infinitely Giving,
Universally Loving, Creative Spirits, and when our
culture stuffs into ever smaller containers of Selfishness,
well it is Hell - Prison - living Death, Clinically. And the
Madness is, most of us don't see it, and think everything
is fine. It isn't. Not for us, not for those we lead into
the same Walking Deadness. Will the sleepers awake?

------------

The Hell of Selfishness
is the prevailing feelings of

Want

Deadness

Emptiness

Cravings

Meaninglessness

Bordom

Anxiety

With just enough Pleasure mixed in that
we think this is

Normal

How things should be

As good as it gets

NOPE.

Giving, Otherishness, Universal Loving

ARE Heaven.
ARE as Good as it Gets

Selfishness IS Hell. There IS no other. None other is needed.

"Jesus' Teaching: There are 2 Families - The Hearts/Givers, and The Tumors/Takers. Of which Family are you? Really?" SL

I've spent this Christ-mass week immersed in the words of Jesus, line by line, over and over.

This is what I've found. This is a very big advance in clarity for me:

"Jesus' Teaching is this:

There are 2 Families -

Health's Life "Givers"
(The HEARTS/GIVERS:
Gandhi, King,
Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Diane Wilson, Col. Ann Wright,
William Thomas...)

or,

Cancer's Life "Takers"
(The TUMORS/TAKERS:
Trump, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton,
Tom Buchannan (Great Gatsby),
Skimpole (Bleak House)....).

Of which family are you?
Really?

Your Soul depends on
the right answer.

SALVATION'S entirely about which
Family you end up in; WE end up in."

Perception

...something to think about...

Washington, D.C.

Metro Station on a cold January morning ...

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.. During that time approx. two thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

After three minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:
A three-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time.
This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace... The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin valued at $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $200.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made... How many other things are we missing?

Jesus had Peter had quite a go round on this:

'Peter, do you Love (agape) me?"
"I love you like you were my brother (filios)."

Hmmmmm. "PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME?!?!?!?"

Jesus had to ask twice more.

Imagine if we eliminated words like cyanide,
nitrogen, carbon dioxide... and only had the
word Oxygen for all gas. That would be a problem.

Well we have a MUCH bigger problem. We only,
CARELESSLY use the world Love for:

Universal Love
Lust
Sex
Desire
Friendship
Acquantainceship
One night stands
Pleasurableness
Blood relationships
Romance
Reciprocal relations.....

Love is Universal OR IT IS NOT LOVE.

The ENTIRE point of the Gospels / Jesus life: One Father, we're ALL ONE FAMILY, NO DOUBLE STANDARDS, GET ON WITH IT.

The ENTIRE point of the Gospels / Jesus life:

One Father, we're ALL ONE FAMILY,
NO DOUBLE STANDARDS,, EVER, GET ON WITH IT.

We killed Jesus for telling us this. We hated Him for it.
And for 1900 years we've been killing ourselves to
make anything and everything else BESIDE THIS
the point of His teachings. And now it is almost too
late for us to get it right.

It is up to me. It is up to YOU now. We are the last chance.

CJ - I GIVE YOU TWO COMMANDMENTS:

1. Devote your life entirely to the will of Our One Father

2. Devote your life entirely to the Least of These in
Our One global Family - ESPECIALLY the poor,
ESPECIALLY the enemy, ESPECIALLY the foreigner.

There is NOTHING BESIDES THIS in Jesus' Teachings.
Everything else was embellishment, clarification,
emphasis and support.

This is the Law and the Prophets.

Embracing THIS, THAT WE ARE ALL IMMEDIATE FAMILY,
THAT WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS...

THIS ALONE IS SALVATION -
A. PERSONAL SALVATION from a Joyless, Meaningless Life,
B. COLLECTIVE SALVATION from Global Civilization Collapse.

THERE IS NO OTHER SALVATION. EVER. PERIOD.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JOYFUL NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shari - is She why I'm here? OMG

What an incredibly sacred encounter. Half an hour maybe.

She's 19ish maybe? Today she returns to China from her
6 months exchange program.

Stunning. Kind. Thoughtful. Open. Informed. Wondering.
Mature. Concerned for the world. Inquisitive. Smart. Educated....

She asked it all. She grasped it all - that I have to offer.
We discussed the various human rights movements. She
totally gets - she emphasizes to me - the determination
of the Chinese Gov. to prevent dissent. She sees the
impossibility of resisting - trying to improve human rights
in China. BUT SHE SEES THAT WISELY, NOT RECKLESSLY,
MAKING THE ATTEMPT IS LIFE ITSELF.

A really fun, brief part of our exchange - as she and I were
sitting cross legged and talking, a group of Chinese
tourists came and went - and Shari said - "Do you care
about what people say about you?" Well, I told her
that everyone that comes through the park is my
brother or sister, but that most are waking dead, so dead
that I know that either they will not "see" me, or they'll think
I'm an idiot, or whatever. But the 1 in 10,000 like her -
she is why I am here. "Well," she said, "the Chinese
that were just here were saying that you work for the
government, a fake, to show that people in the US have
the ability to bring about change, when they really don't."
We both laughed heartily. Knowing it is true, if we
continue to let it be.

I worry for her.

She will not forget our encounter.

She now lives in me, and I in her.

"I'm going to go back to China and try to make it a
better place," she said with unmistakable clarity.

We both are changed.

OMG.

YAHOO!!!!!!!! Start's off line!!!!! [for a while] :-)

Hi!

Well, not completely off line, but sort of in a cave.
Yes, my Vigil work continues but mentally I'm in a hugely
different focus for a time.

I will continue to use this lull in DC Political activity to
devote as much uninterrupted time to matters of the Spirit,
as possible - studying and responding to the Words
and Works of Christ Jesus.

You may or may not see bursts of activity on the
Spiritual Front from me, but on the Climate Change,
Health Care, Global Issues front I'm not even looking
beyond the major headlines.

I don't expect to return to normal in that regard till
after New Years.

Your Loving brother,
