Cancer, creation's murder vigil update

Cancer, creations murder vigil update: everything has returned to normal except for my strength. I remain in the infirmary. My next chemo infusion is August 15th. Thankfully I'm now back to mental productivity. Making good progress on studying the first 30 years of Christianity, a scholarly study. I think this first 30 years may have been the only true revolution for ever saw. And then it was perverted into its opposite. Opiate of the masses, of the status quo. Scanned most or all of five books at library of Congress, on the first ten thousand years of Native Americans, and on the remaining months before fossil fuel Armageddon is unavoidable. My guess and hope is that beginning Saturday I'll be back in front of the Canadian embassy on creation's murder vigil. But even if so by Wednesday I'll be back here at the infirmary for the next infusion. Each one seems to shut me down more than the one before. So much to do, so little time.

I'm in no discomfort. The four x imodium doses I'm taking are having effect. But I remain very weak and require much sleep. Awoke expecting to be at the Embassy today only to sleep till 1230 this afternoon like the dead. How do I adjust to this? Am I being forced away from the embassy into rest and study?

nd You, I, the body of each of us consists of about 100 trillion (TRILLION) cells. All it takes is one to become self-centered (cancer) for the body to die. And as members of the 7 billion cell Body of Humanity, how is it less consequential whether I am, or you are, other-centered, or self-centered, to the body of Humanity? (Hint, it isn't. It is more so.)

Cancer update: I may be forced one more day of Infirmary, or more. Despite 4x normal Imodium doses nothing will stay in me more than 45 min. That's tough on the street, in front of the embassy, where a restroom is at least 10-15 min, or 10 hours... away. :-( Chemo does this.

We're probably headed toward Fascism in full force globally, and surely in the US. It remains the only real hope to over throw this, to co-opt our natural allies, our men and women in Uniform - our only citizens that have found within themselves placing something at higher value than their own lives - courage - the ultimate value for Gandhi. Yes, they are not perfect. But co-opting them is probably the only hope of overthrowing the wave of Fascism coming. And the only thing that can do this is people of unviolence who's courage impresses even them. So far, this is what has given freedom in Egypt any chance at all. Yup, unlikely. But it is the only hope. MLK's Proudest moment is said to be when Bull Conner's officers defied orders to fire-house unarmed demonstrators, and fell back, when they defied the horrible personal risk, and marched on to the jail in protest.

Religion is fine. Probably is essential to a good life live properly. But it turns deadly insanity when we live as though it is reality rather than human created construct.
