det 'The barriers to Partnership of Heart, near infinite. Why we're probably doomed.' sLoving

Almost every word ever spoken by so called chr'stians about how one can only be 'Saved' in 'Jesus'' name, are utter rubbish, voodoo, pagan mysticism, etc. HOWEVER, there IS a meaning among all such words, that is utterly True.  No one OF the Heart, by whatever name, by whatever creed, or no creed at all, No one, Of the Heart can see Jesus, if they can see Him clearly, they cannot see Him as other than a desirable Partner in Work, a Brother, a child of Our Father, Embodying Our Father, Love, Heart... by whatever name, in just the way Gandhi did, the Hindu, for example.

This is much on my mind at this moment because months of moving toward the most promising Working Partnership of the Heart, that I've ever seen prospects for myself of, is on the brink of moving forward, or, may just have terminated, DESPITE the fact that the subject of the first paragraph is, I'm quite sure, OBSERVED in the relationship.  That is, termination may have already, just occurred, despite the fact that both parties are Profoundly of the Heart, as near as I can discern.

What this is Teaching me is that being of the Heart is Necessary, but not Sufficient to a Partnership, a Trusting, Powerful, Working relationship.  I don't recall ever getting close enough, this far along, toward the type of Partnership Jesus died to bring us into, to have learned this, or the following lessons.  But if ever again I have the opportunity for a Divine Partnership, I'll be the Wiser, in the following ways, at least:

1.  Being of the Heart, where Love is the Sole, Supreme Value is Utterly, Totally, Absolutely Necessary to the Divine, Hopeful, potentially Creation-saving Partnership, but NOT Sufficient, by itself!  I thought it was Sufficient!  But I was incorrect; ignorant of the Truth.

2.  The Model of what Is and Is NOT Necessary to Partnership, that I would hope to put forth next time, that I did NOT put forth this time, would be my understanding of the following -

a.  That Gandhi, a devout Hindu, Partnered fully and completely with a Christian Pastor (name I don't know).  Each would say that their Religious beliefs were extremely important to them, but their Behavior Put the Lie to that. Harsh words here, I know, but this is a really important point.  We can only, Truly see what is Important, Central to us, Really, in what we Do.  And there is Everything to suggest that in Truth, ALL that was Central to Gandhi, and all that was Central to the Being of the Pastor, was, to use Jesus way of framing the same thing - 1. Loving God / All Creation, and 2.  Loving Every Human.

b.  I may be taking unwarranted liberties with my limited knowledge with the following, but I think not.  Teresa of Calcutta, the Catholic, and Gandhi, the Hindu, were contemporaries in India.  I know of no time that they Partnered together in Work.  But based on everything I know this was 100% a matter of logistical barriers, prior Callings to different Work, and NOT a matter of any remotely important difference in their Core Beliefs, their Core Being, their True Religion which for both, was Loving.  And they did speak of each other, and what they said, to me, revealed completely the Respect of One Partner for another Partner - their 'Religious' differences were really, Really, NO DIFFERENCES AT ALL, to them!

c.  Once, and only once, Jesus gave us an example of the Perfect Partner.  Yes, these are my words, and my understanding, and of course, you are welcome to disagree, but to me it is Crystal Clear.  The Example He gave us of the Perfect Partner was the Good Samaritan - someone of a profoundly different 'Belief System,' 'Religion,' than Jesus.  Totally and completely unimportant to Jesus were these differences.  ALL that mattered to Jesus, the entirety of his Religion, was Loving.

I could go on, but if I can make the point, it is made above.

3.  Language, Thought Process, Means of Communicating, Communication Process CAN BE SO DIFFERENT, EVEN BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE OF THE HEART, THAT PARTNERSHIP IS PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, IMPOSSIBLE, OR TOO DIFFICULT, OR TO INEFFICIENT TO BE APPROPRIATE.  This is my most fundamental learning from my recent Divine experience in moving toward Working Partnership, regardless of how it turns out.  Well, if one thinks of two people Totally of the Heart -  one that speaks only French, and not a word of another language, and the other person that speaks German, and not a word of any other language, COULD they Partner?  YES!  Would it be wise?  PROBABLY NOT!  Impractical!  The barriers to communication would be sooooo huge that far more time would be lost in the attempt than could justify the benefits!

How my ignorance of these issues will play out in my current situation, what was a prospective Partnership, I don't know.  But in these lessons, and in countless other ways, I am profoundly Strengthened, Enriched, Empowered by the time we've spent thus far.

http://www.dailynebraskan.com/opinion/green-israel-and-palestine-conflict-should-never-be-compared-to-holocaust-1.2723148#.T3oSsNkzfw1
Loving, comment:  Wow, this from a leading academic institution?  Oh goodness, we are in trouble.  And what argument will you conjure to rule off limits per se such comparisons as, hmmm, comparing the Spanish, American extermination of 12 million American Indians with the Holocaust, or cancer of the brain with cancer of the lung, or Enron's destroying the wealth of masses with Wall Streets destroying of the wealth of masses...?  There are reasons to rule off limits per se, all these things, but the pursuit of Truth is impoverished if the examination is prevented or INTIMIDATED.  What you are arguing is that for whatever reason, we should carefully, religiously, Sacredly, mysteriously restrict learning from one of the most inhumane events in all human history, the Holocaust, to honor and protect the memory of the victims? Huh?  No.  Honoring the victims is to find the guts, the courage, the stamina to honestly, relentlessly try to understand the atrocity, injustice, inhumanity of the Holocaust in every relevant context so that it happens 'Never Again.'  This is obvious, except to those that relentlessly DisHonor the Holocaust victims by using the Holocaust as a brutal propaganda weapon to enable right wing Israeli's and their supporters to visit whatever cruel illegalities and brutality on our Palestinian brothers and sisters.  http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com

I've of late seen a very powerful way to serve humanity - commenting on major

Plan A-rmageddon related articles in only the most major, main-stream of publications - 

LA Times, Wash Post, Guardian....

Today, as in recent weekends, I'll play whack-a-mole FOR THE ONLOOKERS.  

JOIN ME, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME WAY BETTER WAY TO SERVE THIS SUNDAY.

Just as my brothers and sisters on the left in this country have a criminally insane aversion

to putting their bodies where their mouths and brains are, my criminally insane (I

don't say this lightly) brothers and sisters on the right like barbarians throughout

history live the lie that might (standing, forcing, controlling, dominating) trumps the

Truth, Doing what is Right (odd paradox).  See Chris Mooney's "The Republican (and Dem)

Brain(s)."

My point?  I WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING MYSELF TO THE RIGHT-WING-SOCIOPATHS,

WHO WILL COMMENT UNOPPOSED!!!!!!!! (UNLESS YOU JOIN ME).  However, I refuse,

and you should too, to let them take up all the ink space.  WHAT OF THE ONLOOKER,

THE CONFUSED, THE UNKNOWING IN THE ALL-IMPORTANT CENTER?  Am I, are YOU

to let them think the Deniers are the only group?

Join the fight, today.  Please consider.  Now.

'BUT IF NOT' - Loving's 'Faith,' 'Beliefs,' 'Religion,' 'Creed'

From a note to a Beloved Sister who has been a profound Gift in my Life of late:

He, and you, gave this to me late last night, so it only seems right that I share.

Hours after I sent my reply to you last evening, lying on my granite mattress, entirely unforeseen - 'But if not.'  There are probably very few things written or spoken by Dr. King that I haven't studied deeply many many times over the years, including that.  But I find his insights into the Truth so profound that every time I read or hear again, it is almost as though it is for the first time.  Thank you for  directing me to 'But if not' the other day.

It came ringing back into my ears last night invoked by our dialog of yesterday, yours and mine.  Maybe way too briefly I outlined in yesterday's note, my Beliefs, my understandings, that are the Core to me, that which is God for me - the basis of my Life, the basis of all that I do, including the foundation of partnershps.  As often I have and do with folks, I acknowledged that I Recognize there maybe more to the Truth than what I value - Heart, Loving, Compassion, Conscience, Humanity, Courage, SERVING OUR LEAST OF THESE, but that if there is, I don't care, I'm not interested, it is not my Business, it wouldn't change me or what I do if I came to 'See' these other things as absolute Truth.

This is what Dr. King was saying, too.  'If you are doing right because you believe in Heaven, that's not Faith (paraphrasing).'  'If you do right to avoid what traditional theologians (MLK doesn't believe in a physical Heaven or Hell he makes pretty clear here, tho that isn't his point, at all) describe as Hell, that isn't Faith.'  I think he could have gone on, or at least, not objected to me doing so - 'If you do right (Living from Heart, Conscience, Serving Our Global Neediest...) because of God, or Jesus, or any other reason, that isn't Faith.  If you do right, because you believe that thousands of years ago Miracles were performed, that's not Faith.....'  

'But if not.'  'But if you came to see that not one of these things were true, or all ceased to be  True in your Heart, if you still do Right, That's Faith,' is a True expansion of what he was saying to me, and what my Heart, Our Father says to me, and Jesus, and Christ, ever since I can remember.

I'm sure it could and would be wildly debated, my understanding of the scripture, 'Let your yes be your yes, and your no be your no.'  It finally came clear to me  the meaning not many months ago.  Probably it came to me after the umpteenth  time of hearing from someone, 'Oh, I'm on a mission trip to show Jesus' Love.'  Huh, I though?  Huh?  Is it Jesus' air?  Is it Jesus' water?  Is Jesus so insecure  He wants us to think of 'His' air, 'His' water, 'His' Love?  If so, I want no part of  Him, so small, petty, self-centered.  BUT I'M SURE NOT!  Maybe Love is a sentient God, that does Miracles,  that has folks living in physical Heaven or Hell for eternity, but for me, and I think  for MLK Jr, Gandhi... 'BUT IF NOT,' God is still Love, His Kingdom, the Heart,  His Path of Infinite Joy for us - Serving Our Global Neediest. 'But if not,' I'll do That for the Joy of it, with my last breath.

That is my Faith.  That is what MLK Jr, thanks to you, reminded me of, clarified  for me, late late last night.
