"... the doctrine of Christ is based on the metaphysical principle of love, the supreme law, that should guide us in our daily life and which admits of no exception." L Tolstoy

entirely new, standing out distinctly from former beliefs, it is only the clearer and more precise expression of the principle that previous religions divined and taught instinctively. Thus it is that instead of love being merely one of the virtues, as it was for

The White Christian Fundamentalist GOP is a crime syndicate. What do you expect from them?

It is only necessary to adopt frankly the doc trine of Christ in order to perceive at once the horrible lie in which each and every one of us is living. L Tolstoy

... The Christian doctrine, the real significance of
which we are grasping more and more, teaches that man's mission is to manifest ever better and better the Rule of all; and it is love that proves the pres ence of this Rule in us. That is
law that should guide us is love....

All the ancient religions recognize that love is
the essential condition for a happy existence. The sages of Egypt, the Brahmans, the Stoics, the Bud dhists, etc. declared the principal virtues to be kindness, pity, compassion, and charity; in one word, love in all its forms. The highest of these doctrines, especially those of Buddha and of TaoTse, went as far as recommending love to
every
human being, and for people to return good for evil. However, none of them placed this virtue as a
supreme law that should be the only motive of our acts. This was the distinctive trait of the most recent religion, that of Christ. All previous doc trines proclaimed the love of one's neighbor as one of the virtues; the doctrine of Christ is based on the metaphysical principle of love, the supreme law, that should guide us in our daily life and which admits of no exception....
The law of laws, the law of violence. Leo Tolstoy

Christ founded no church, established no State, made no laws, imposed no government or exterior authority; he simply set himself to write the law of God in the hearts of men in order that they might govern themselves. Herbert Newton.

Yes, James, be a turbine. Profoundly weak each revolution stronger collectively at speed. Dec 14

It has been days since a log has been reported and much has transpired but all in line with the previous posts . 

 It may be that this morning, or late in yesterday's journey, .... That Turbine showed up again. 

Why did it show up because a very good day or so ,

Different approach. How would Tolstoy be correct? On what basis? That constructing the world of loving, soul in charge, is the most joyful pursuit no matter what.

If Tolstoy says this at any point James has not yet found it or recognized it. But this is a lens through which James needs to consider Tolstoy now. 

Brilliant, and as they said, horribly flawed. The work of Gandhi and Tolstoy.

Tolstoy self redeemed. From letters to Gandhi. Loving....

The more I live—and specially now that I am approaching death, the more I feel inclined to express to others the feelings which so strongly move my being, and which, according to my opinion, are of great importance. That is, what one calls nonresistance, is in reality nothing else but the discipline of love undeformed by false interpretation. Love is the aspiration for communion and solidarity with other souls, and that aspiration always liberates the source of noble activities. That love is the supreme and unique law of human life which everyone feels in the depth of one's soul. We find it manifested most clearly in the soul of the infants. Man feels it so long as he is not blinded by the false doctrines of the world.

Leo Tolstoy. Maybe found the truth in the last 20 years. From the book, Gandhi Tolstoy letters.

The Law of Violence and the Law of Love, and in his essay, “The only Commandment,” written a few years before his death, Tolstoy discusses the reasons why educated people, and even those who claim to be religious, ignore this eternal, all embracing law of love. Tolstoy asserts that love purifies the individual and is the essence of life. The fruit of love is happiness. Happiness comes not because man loves his fellowmen but because he loves the source of all, namely God. God dwells in all of us and therefore man recognizes God in himself through love and extends this love to all men. Man needs to let love in and squeeze out hatred, guile and vengeance from his being.

The next week in a Pensacola area using up some of the time needed before travel North can resume in late January.

The hearts are locations, mostly Walmarts, that will allow a one night stay. Return to Slidell area and then heading east very slowly again is the next part of the plan.

The most important contribution from James?

After all these years this is the current checklist that James has arrived at to optimize his service, his Joy, his service, his Joy, his service....

Tolstoy's fatal flaw? James think so. But still much good to be sounds.

James has the ability to enjoy indulging in chugging some beer in the evening. Periodically he has indulged this most recently about two months ago. It takes him a while to realize how empty it leaves him feeling. And when he realizes that he can

What James needs to do now. Writing, what Jesus probably saw, Gandhi probably, and the others almost. Dec 7

 All but Jesus were mistakenly concerned with fixing the world and that wasn't gonna happen. They are as good as ever we could hope to see and even with the fundamental error that James is now seeing in their work, excepting Jesus, their example was close enough and they've made clear that mass infection among hundreds of millions or billions is not in gunna happen. But infection of the individual here or there? That can be improved upon by understanding their error. 

And although preliminary, 0 credit to himself, the understanding of their error came to James only several days to go, and he has begun to mention it. 

Leo, it is not about some law. It is not about the possibility of fixing humanity. This species as we have degraded ourselves. Not a possibility. But it is about the truth given our nervous systems and a beastial nature to most of humanity, it is about how the individual can have a profoundly enviable quality of life. 

For the next roughly 4 weeks whether suggests that James stay in some portion of Florida to avoid snow and ice. It looks like as early as mid to late January he can safely turn North at a crawl which he expects to do. But with the above he has a clarity only now as to how to use the slower time period for writing Clarity and detail expanding upon the above thoughts.
