Vigil http://www.prop1.org . Something about my appearance
caught her attention :-) and she interviewed me. She seemed
quite taken. It was cool. Her work has always been important. SL

"I detest the word "peace." " SL

Part of a rant I shared with my beloved sister:

'I detest the word "peace." Huh?????
In my experience, 99.999999999999% of the time, behind it is some deadly,
magical thinking that saying "peace," giving the "peace sign," wearing
beads, singing songs is somehow going to make people put down their
weapons. Not me! As they do it in front of a world with 28 million children starving
to death, these over-privileged "peace" sayers, which invariably they are,
make me want to doubly want to pick up a gun - first to shoot them, and
then to go take by force the food that the children need; that rightfully
BELONGS to those children!!!!! (NO, I would NEVER pick up the gun, and
I would take a bullet FOR any of these, my brothers and sisters.)

At the vigil, to the knee-jerk (what's the opposite of salutation?) word "peace," I
reply- "PeaceMAKING!"

I don't know if anyone "gets it" when I say this.

"I came not to bring peace, but to divide with a sword." Christ Jesus

"Blessed are the PeaceMAKERS." Christ Jesus

LOVE YOU.

:-) "...someone so important to this country [as Start is.]" SL

About a week ago I spent 10 min at the vigil with a high
school group from Michigan. As many do, they end by taking
photos with me, and one of the MI students who did so generated
quite a dialog, including one guy, the only one negative - hey,
I bet that Hippie was high, they all are.... Wow, did the rest
of the folks pile on him in my defense! This is the last comment,
so far:

"xxxxx needs to keep those opinions to himself,

that makes me so mad that he could talk to someone like that...
someone so important to this country."

"WOW. The "Church" - PRECISELY "THE" Anti-Christ - Authoritarianism CRUCIFYING Authoritative, Daily." SL

The exception proves the rule.

How can you SUBORDINATE God / Christ? You can only Kill God / Christ OR Worship / Submit to God / Christ -
ABOVE ALL ELSE - SUPERordinate TO ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL.... ELSE.

Authoritarian vs Authoritative - TWO FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING.
I'd forgotten the concepts for decade(s). WOW!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNDAMENTAL TO MY PRIMAL HORROR AT THE "CHURCH."

"Church's" VERY EXISTENCE IS THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST.

"Church's" VERY PURPOSE IS THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST / GOD (the Divine Spirit within,
Humanity, Universal Love, Compassion, Intuition, Vision, Revelation, Brotherhood, Wisdom, Initiative,
Constructive Creativity, CONSCIENCE, TRUTHFULNESS...),
that is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER... to be subordinated to ANYTHING; THAT IS, THAT IS,
THAT IS, THAT IS... CRUCIFIED BY BEING EVER SUBORDINATED TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE!!!!!! To....

Creed
Dogma
Rules
Hierarchy
Tradition
"Beliefs...."
Elders.....

Yet the very Purpose of the Church, evident in it's behavior is EXACTLY to
subordinate the Individual to these things. Oh My God. Oh My God. Oh My God.

How can you SUBORDINATE God? You can only Kill God OR Worship / Submit to God -
ABOVE ALL ELSE - SUPERordinate TO ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL.... ELSE.

"I will admit just one tyrant in my life; the still, small voice within." Gandhi. Me too.
