Protest in the i96os found its ideological roots in the disengage¬ ment championed earlier by Beats such by Jack Kerouac, Allen Gins¬ berg, and William Burroughs. It was a movement that, while it incorporated a healthy dose of disrespect for authority, focused again on self-indulgent schemes for inner peace and fulfillment. The use of hallucinogenic drugs, advocated by Timothy Leary in books such as the Politics of Ecstasy, and the rise of occultism that popularized Transcen¬ dental Meditation, theosophy, the Hare Krishna branch of Hinduism, and renew

"As long as the liberal class did not seriously challenge capitalism, it was permitted a place in the churches, the universities, the unions, the press, the arts, and the Democratic Party.

All human history is reminding me that saving the human species would be unspeakably cruel.

“When it became clear to me that Jesus was not biologically white and that white scholars actually lied by not telling people who he really was, I stopped trusting anything they said,” he writes in his posthumous memoir, “Said I Wasn’t Gonna Tell Nobody: The Making of a Black Theologian,” published in October.

The nicest people, truly, Trump supporters, will destroy even their dearest to make the world pleasing for themselves personally.

To those that have thought James insane for all his photographs. Turns out his polarizing filter with blurring everything Beyond 4dx, and his camera is 83 x. Yes it has driven him a bit crazy. Duration about 5 months now. Big breakthrough.

If you don't read Chris Hedges, you don't know what's going on. He saw all of this decades in advance.

“One thing that is very likely to happen is that the gains made in the past forty years by black and brown Americans, and by homosexu¬ als, will be wiped out,” the philosopher Richard Rorty warned in his book Achieving Our Country:

Unlike Germany victory by the fascists this time means the end of all life on Earth. That could make a difference. Electing Bernie would be the beginning of the Last Hope for the human species.

"The main character in Notes from Underground carries the bankrupt ideas of liberalism to their logical extreme. He eschews passion and moral purpose. He is rational. He accommodates a corrupt and dying power structure in the name of liberal ideals. The hypocrisy of the Underground Man dooms imperial Russia as it now dooms the American empire. It is the fatal disconnect between belief and action.... " Chris Hedges quoting Dostoevsky

"The question is now, how quickly Christian thought will realize that individualism is coming to be an inadequate and antiquated form of social organization which must give place to a higher form of communistic organization, and how thoroughly it will comprehend that this new communism will afford a far nobler social basis for the spiritual temple of Christianity....

Surprised, her torturer asked, So you are no longer afraid of your torture and murder? No, she replied. Then you are completely free. V for Vendetta.

I just donated to Bernie, despite that he will lose, be murdered first, and/or that Dump/GOP Fascists won't leave. But he's the last lesson for a thousand years in goodness.

The only president that the fascists, the fundamentalist, dictators, oligarchs, Crime Mob should and would fear is Bernie.

Gigantic for me in recent weeks. * Whose life is it James? * Let go what you can't control James. Let It Go, even your very life or others. * The Pearl worth any price is the soul, even of the Hostile in front of you. See that soul being tortured by their head

Gigantic for me in recent weeks. 

* Whose life is it James? Not mine, is my instant internal reply! It is reflexive for me. My life belongs to those that need my help. It is tremendously liberating to bring that question to mind.

* Let go what you can't control James. Let It Go, even your very life or others. Yes, this may be crazy. But when I bring the choice to mind again, reflexively, I want whatever seconds or minutes of life that in my imagination I might have left, free of fear, and full of loving. And I want to model that for others.

* The Pearl worth any price is the soul, even of the Hostile in front of you. It is the piece of pure goodness, love and creation, within us.  Nothing is so magnificent and wonderful. See that soul being tortured by their head and flesh. This is quite amazing. Using my imagination when I summon the task to my mind again, reflexively, in my mind's eye in particularly the most cruel creature, I can see an image of a small brutalized Soul inside that person being torture depressed brutalized by their head and flesh. This is so empowering of me.

Reflecting on my personal work this last month or so I've been working hard on being able to prevent my head and flesh from hijacking me in alarming situations. Some devices have been developed by me and practiced before the attacks. And it has helped. Hugs

Does your life tempt others to be more radically good, for the joy of it?

The most powerful book that James has ever read. Nearly every sentence is dynamite blasting the bars that have imprisoned the soul and it's Joy.

In the eyes of your soul it isn't whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game.

Will James have help in helping Mom and her boys? Update.

Through tremendous strength and courage on her part, while continuing to tread water supporting her two young teen special needs Sons in a raging Storm mom was able today to outline a plan for the next 3 months, at James encouragement. Month 1 is primarily to attempt to stabilize and remediate her suffering health and to secure in-home assistance to watch her kids so that each week she has time to work on moving her and her kids to a sustainable future if that is even possible. This is the ten thousand foot View. Within the next several weeks James intends to begin liquidating what savings savings he has and month by month for the next 3 months to support this Mom provided that she continues to do her part and that there appears to be any hope for a better future. By the end of month two if we go that far, as she expects we will, he will be pretty well spent. Two individuals so far have indicated their willingness to help. The total amount of funds is expected to be in the neighborhood of $1,200 per month for doctor's visits and medications and 10 hours of in home help each week. The two individuals that have already identified themselves will be contacted at the appropriate time. Hopefully others will want to help. You can message James or email start underscore loving at yahoo.com. for anyone seriously, seriously, seriously interested and ready to commit the plan can be provided.

1. "Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of Christianity down to our own time has been its churchliness. Christian ethics became churchly ethics. An action was good or bad mainly because the Church said so. It was good always if it served the Church, for the cause of the Church was the cause of God. 12 There was no higher exercise of piety than to build churches or endow monasteries. Avarice was refusal to enrich the Church. Charity to the Church covered a multitude of sins.
