Heaven, Salvation: The crucial Elements of Viable Culture, Religion

Heaven, Salvation: The crucial Elements of Viable Culture, Religion

[The following - understanding, developing, discovering, studying, promoting, practicing, proliferating... is likely to be at the center of rest of my days -]

For the first time in my life, (OMG, soooo late)  for the first seconds, nanoseconds of my life, I've just this morning focused my lifetime of undeserved experience, education, resource, heinous over-privilege...

...on the question, not of product development, not of money-making, not on stopping genocide (symptom), not on stopping ecocide (symptom), not on western Matrix-ism/Zombi-ism ... 

...but of that which is of THE ULTIMATE importance to your child, niece, grandchild (even if 50 years in the future) - what 'operating system,' what 'software'... Culture, 'Religion (that about which they are religious)' is, would be OPTIMAL for the individual, group, all of humanity?

The current one - western, capitalistic, fleshly gratification centric (sensate) IS DYING, cuz it it killing all life support.  What should, must replace it if ecocide is to be bearable?

These are the two dimensions I've considered thus far - Characteristics, Fruits:

Characteristics:

  • subsistance level economically - what is needed, not greeded
  • universal family
  • perceptual reality
  • soul
  • solidarity
  • serving
  • as if Creator existed
  • reverence for creation
  • loving
  • growing
  • forgiving
  • patient
  • reverent
  • respectful
  • zero ego
  • zero anxiety, fear, worry
  • active immunity to fleshly addiction
  • active immunity to mind addiction
  • low maintenance
  • low cost
  • highly extensible
  • durable
  • high survival value in toxic world
FRUITS
  • joy
  • passion
  • peace of heart
  • freedom from fleshly addictions
  • freedom from mind addictions
  • infinite loving
  • continuous flow
  • free of fear
  • psychologically immune to plagues of the flesh and mind
Any and all comments from deep in  your soul would be deeply welcome.

The existential issue of our time - a new culture, religion, that sustainably produces superior joy thereby displacing the cancerous, intoxication, pleasure-seeking, that are destroying earth. Just as an otherwise empty teenage mind feels better in the presence of a video game the human nervous system feels best in the presence of a well-designed culture or religion. This is an un alterable truth of our nervous system. Our computer hardware is incomplete without software. Human beings are incomplete without culture, religion.

And if all that proliferates around us is a sick, twisted, cancerous, self-centered, hateful, intoxicating... rELIGION, that's what we'll install.

Lovings status update

i am in a time of years delayed study that I am sure I am to complete while I wait to see what the Creator has in store for me, cancer and lodging for treatment. I'm spending every waking second reading, while maintaining the vigil in front of the Canadian embassy.

All of my study is one way or another about the ills of the world, and what individual and collective cure there can be, those who are heroicly loving, and doing so in a most informed way, that is, living each breath to be as meaningful , as helpful, to humanity and all of creation, because all of the wise up until and through today point to that being the only life of joy .

It appears that even if Georgetown can offer me enough years at a low enough price I'll need to decline the treatment for lack of suitable housing, that will allow me to fully work on those days I'm healthy. It appears I am to die for lack of a corner in someone's garage or basement, which would be too inconvenient to provide. This appears to be my inconvenient truth. Lol.

Loving is, equals, is serving from the soul in solidarity

Can I learn? Will I ever learn? I must immediately turn my efforts from: attempts to save from material horror to attempts to save from the horror of lovelessness self centeredness, dead heartedness, soul-deadness. This for itself, and as the only means of eliminating our material horror.

This is neither complaint nor whine. I've been trying to help everyone, but no one wants my help. They desperately need it but the central feature of selfcenteredness, addiction, is the violent opposition to being cured, to being helped.

I'm finding my blindness truly stunning. Jesus by the end saw that not one in 10000 would ever saved. Ever. He devoted his life to saving that one in ten thousand. He rightly saw that the state of loving is certain, absolute Salvation regardless of all other circumstances.

Fact: I see no where in evidence today 1 millionth the humanity evidenced in the women's suffrage struggle. In the evermore toxic culture of greed, religious addiction to pleasure, we have grotesquely devolved as a species to the point of being no longer viable.

Fact:: all war is psychological. Fact: the weapon of un violint warriors is inflicting the pain, near unbearable, of the awful price they personally pay for what is right, on the opponents, and passive onlookers. Fact: because eco- side is so invisible the personal price offered must be orders of magnitude more awful than any before seen in history.

***** the purpose and function of un violence is to penetrate, to rip away, the veneer, the facade, the camouflage, to reveal underneath the true violence knowing that human physiology and psychology, even unvoluntarily, cannot remain evil, cannot allow evil, when it is clearly, sufficiently revealed. By far the most clearly I've ever seen this is in reading the book Iron Jawed Angels. See library tab this blog.

By being poor and on the street I'm coming in contact with the closest thing we have in this society that can be considered universal family, that which Jesus died to bring to us. My point? There is such a thing, it exists. It is tiny, barely alive, but it exists, it is possible.

'I must find out what people or groups in history have produced the most persistent loving. 'Everyone knows that they should not participate in politics,' said Teresa Calcutta. I've always been uncomfortable with her statement. But I've never been able to discard it. I spent much of my life studying un violent change movements. And I am glad. But few if any have changed Humanity's heart. Everything depends on changing Humanity's heart. When and how has this been best done?

'My best guess as to what the future holds for Loving.' Loving

[from a note to our premier Unviolent Warrior]

My cancer consult is next Thurs. 

I'm sure you are probably deeply read in the women's suffrage movement,
but ever since I saw Iron Jawed Angels a year ago I've been
in awe, and within the last 2 months read A Woman's Crusade -
Alice Paul and learned sooooooo much more.

Know what Martyr means? I didn't - learned that one just now
reading Steve Biko's writings - Martyr means witness; and I think
that means "evidence," "proof," "testament..." to the truth.

Inez Milholland was a Martyr - a witness that, you bet your ass
women's rights NOW is worth our very lives, NOW.  Did she want to be a martyr?
Did she want to die? Did she want to work herself to a 30 year old
death?  SHE WANTED WOMEN'S RIGHTS, NOW.  HER LIFE BECAME
AN UNMISTAKABLE WITNESS TO THAT. 

When Inez worked herself to death for the cause, who did she wake up? 
A DOZEN OR SO OF THE MOST COURAGEOUS
ACTIVISTS ALIVE - ALICE PAUL, AND ANOTHER HANDFUL, THAT
ALREADY WERE ON RAGING FIRE, BUT INEZ WITNESS MADE IT A BONFIRE,
THAT NO ONE KNEW WAS POSSIBLE.  That's how it works.  Right?
Or, the bonfire never, NEVER happen.

I am certain now that we are infinitely too dead to stop ecocide -
no matter that we could do it without breaking a sweat, almost none
of us dying.  Too inconvenient.  We are the
zombie apocalypse, already.  But, slowing it down,
saving 1, let alone 100 million over the next 1000 generations,
what would that be worth?  My life, if I could figure out how to
spend that, my life, MY ONLY ASSET, in a way that hold's promise?

Rock yes!  No?

*>:D< big
 hug

My guess is that I'll find the new prognosis, treatment plan, of too
great a cost to society, and coming at the wrong time - the most firtile
6 months in human history to reduce, slow, stop... ecocide by global warming.

My lead thought is to go on a trek, a bike ride, around the country, till
the cancer stops me, with the message, question, a sign along the lines of:

WOULDN'T
U DIE 2
STOP ECOCIDE
BY FOSSIL FUELS?

Homeless vet Israel this morning: loving, I get paid next week and I'm going to rebuild your vigil. This 52 year old African American man, very intense, very serious , I have every reason to believe he means what he says. I'm deeply humbled and encouraged to inspire even a little of this goodness in another. This is our entire work, is it not?

***** [How fast can any population of addicts be Saved?] I've been wrong. I am sorry. Hopefully I'm learning: [added to the "Resurrecting..." book]: 119. I stop making the mistake of fantasizing that everyone, all, most… any but a Miniscule minority can be saved. Jesus has hardly Saved anyone, in 2000 years, and He was the best the World's seen. Just cuz I, or He, want to, does NOT make it possible. The world was to toxic with Affloholism, and now by 7 billion times more. Saving self and others remains the work, but but the one, or two, not all Humanity.' Loving
