***** Marriage, comments to a young friend. "Above everything else in the world am I committed to partnership with this individual as my best possible way of serving the world? Is this what my prospective partner is about as well? " I think that this is pretty close to the species universal question to discern whether the prospective marriage is on the strong foundation or not. It is the intersection of all I've studied and learned from the greats throughout history and my own experiences and observations. Yes, there are few people I know who would agree. Lol. Oh well.
The word 'lust' applies to much more than sex. For nearly all westernized women their drive to marry is 99.99% lust for security, comfort, safety, house, social access, to be loved and cared for, and children for her own gratification. For nearly all westernized men they marry for lust for sex, and to be loved, that is, desired, lusted for, appreciated, served, helped. This is what our sickest of all cultures teaches us. How would we be different?
My point is not that this is bad. I am NOT disparaging. But lust is not the basis for a long term partnership. Lust is not the basis for sustained, lifelong, joy. That would be loving, something of which we no longer understand or appreciate by the time we are in our teams in this sick world. Lusting is about me, for me and my group. Loving is about the well being of others, particularly the neediest on earth.
We are literally created by our DNA for the sole purpose of advancing the well being of the species, which means the well being of the environment, to be good and to be a force for good in the world.
I would wish for the prospective spouse to ask the question, 'Does this person have the level of integrity, unity with and devotion to humanity, to doing and being good for the world, that I see and admire in the few people throughout history?'
Finally, I think that this question could be profoundly helpful: ' in essence I am hiring an intimate partner to be as close to me as my skin, or my soul, for the next possibly 60 years. Should I hire this person? Should this person hire me? 60 years from now are we likely to be thrilled with the decision we make today. If not, for this person who I care about, and for me who I care about I should not walk down this aisle, even if it means that I never walk down the aisle. If I am worth marrying by anyone, then I love myself and life enough to serve humanity by myself if that is the best thing to do. And I know that devotion to humanity is my reason for being here, and the only path of infinite joy for any of us. That's how we were created.

***** For immediate sale or donation: current manufacture 7 inch Google Nexus tablet. Like new. Must sell. Best offer. Contact immediately. I have had this tablet for about a year. I got it because it has a much longer battery life than my laptop so when on duty, As I am this moment north side of the White House, all day long, I could be productive online all day long. I can no longer afford the wifi that this very powerful tablet requires. It has very high resolution so it gobbles up gigabytes almost as fast as does my laptop. The unlimited gigabytes that I have had from Sprint, Clear, is being discontinued, so this is no longer affordable. This is not a problem with the tablet but rather with my extreme usage requirements, using this to fight for humanity online from the time I awake until the moment I go to sleep. I provide a link below to this unit. It is a spectacular device. I hope you will think of anyone you know that might want such a device from a trustworthy individual, me, and have them message me or email me at start Loving at yahoo.com. My work desperately needs the funds, but like everything in my life the only reason I need the funds is to contribute to humanity. So if you know of some extremely worthy cause where I could donate this at zero or reduced compensation to me financially, please do not hesitate to let me know that as well. Thank you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DVFLJDS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1432998634&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=Nexus+7+from+Google+%287-Inch%2C+16+GB%2C+Black%29+by+ASUS+%282013%29+Tablet

***** I can no longer see any objective reason to try and be good, to try and do good. By every objective measure not me or anyone else is going to help move the world in a better direction. We have so morally degenerated any massive change, any significant minor change, is objectively beyond hope. I would rather die then not try to be good, and to try and do good. This is so, for me, not because I believe in some life after this, or some sentient creator of us all. I adamantly believe in neither of those life destroying, all of creation destroying, fantasies. I simply crave the intrinsic gratification of attempting to be good, and attempting to do good. I believe that any of the joyful people throughout history, all of our moral icons throughout history, if they understood and had the benefit of today's science, psychology, and the wisdom of the ages, would etirely and profoundly agree with this position at which I have arrived regarding doing good for the ultimate, supreme, intrinsic joy of the attempt . If you love yourself, if there is anyone or anything on earth that you love, I implore you to consider deeply, from the standpoint of objective truth, that which I am saying, to do the same with your life, for yourself, and for anyone and everyone, any individual, that you might possibly have influence with.

***** nd. Like turning over for more sleep after the alarm... HOW MUCH WE ADORE OUR DENIAL OF OUR FELLOW CREATURES NEEDS, SUFFERING.... I FEEL LIKE I NEVER UNDERSTOOD, UNTIL NOW.
***** My dad adored me above almost everyone. I wish he hadn't.....
My point isn't to dis my dad. If I could select anyone in history to be my dad, it would be him.
My point is to learn from my experience of this near greatest of all people I've ever known of.
He loved all of humanity, all of creation, unconditionally.
But he loved me nearly more than everything and everyone... and in that it was conditional love.
I wish he had loved me no more, and no less, than he loved every creature, all of creation.
I lost decades, my fault, on craving the supreme love he had for me. There was never any joy in that, There could NEVER be Joy in that - conditional Loving. Pleasure, yes. Lust, yes. Loving, no. Joy, no.
My life is now fully of his other side, Unconditional Loving - Immensely Painful with the pain of the world. Infinitely Loving. Infinitely Joyful. Every breath.

***** SPDF Day 52-29: I was thinking today, it is more clear to me than ever that all is lost... Democracy, near all that is good, near all of Creation, Palestine, the American Soul... but everyone, anyone, can be Saved, in this Life... from the degenerating, disintegrating world around them... if they, when they, as they... forget their own life, and devote their every breath to the neediest in the world. This is Heaven, Salvation, and no one can deprive them of it... but themselves. More than ever before it is desperately important that we each strive for this Salvation... that we might increase by whatever miniscule amount... the likelihood that someone else too might find the Path.

***** nd SPDF: Our Devotion to personal (and 'family') survival and pleasure... has finally doomed humankind, and all of creation. We've insanely embraced the way of 'cancer' over the way of Life. Our parents, the Creating generation, birthed the suicidal Consuming generation.
***** SPDF: I am adult-long devoted to human-crucial success, and to obstruct attempts likely to end in disaster.
This characteristic of mine has been true of me throughout my adulthood. It was central to who and what I was in my college and advanced degree educational life. It was centrally true of me during all of my business career. And it has been true of me ever since., I suspect, I am quite sure, it will be true of me until I take my last breath or degenerate into a different being psychologically.
My constitution is such that I am only interested in, I am only able, to participate in things that I think are monumentally important to humanity and to creation, and I am then unable to not devote myself to seeing what would constitute success, what would constitute failure, and to devote myself to the former and to stand in the way of the latter.
I've often thought, over many years now, I've often shared over many years now, of the example of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The space shuttle challenger blew up. It has been quite well documented that the failure was due to a part, an o ring, and my understanding is that quite clearly an engineer, or several engineers, knew of the potential risk before the launch, before the explosion. I don't know the details of that event beyond what I just said, but my life has been centered around somewhat life and death ventures so I know the territory quite well.
I know how desperately a team like that Challenger launch team wanted to meet deadlines, meet goals, have a success. I know the pressures on that engineer, or engineers, that had negative news, had bad news. I don't know of any life and death heroics that that engineer, or those engineers, waged to attempt to stop that tragic flight. They may have done so, but I'll guess they did not.
Either way, I'm not suggesting the problem was primarily theirs. Near certainly the problem was systemic, enterprisewide, the wrong value on success, lack of value on avoiding disaster.
Throughout my adulthood my devotion has been to achieve both mission critical success and to avoid mission disaster, to avoid enabling the masses of people involved that were not devoted to both.
On enterprises I've had some substantial successful impact, and much failure.
But I have never failed to make the attempt regardless of personal cost to me. And I suspect this will always be true of me.
***** "Who wants to put on the posterboards, go out to the street corner, and rant?... There is not a politician on earth wants to tell his or her constituents, "We've probably already blown our chance to avoid substantial suffering, but if we work really hard and devote our lives to the cause, we can somewhat reduce the even worse suffering that awaits our grandchildren."
