Our destitute working class now understands that the cloying feelyour-pain language of the liberal class is a lie. The liberal class is not attempting to prevent wages from sinking, unemployment from mounting, foreclosures from ripping apart communities, or jobs from being exported. The gap betwe... N
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. Minimal reform, as well as an open disdain for Puri¬ tanism, was acceptable. A challenge to the sanctity of the capitalist...
“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 ferocity of his anger at the injustice endured by the oppressed was matched only by the ferocity of his love."

Despair and suicide grip survivors. It is estimated that as many Vietnam veterans committed suicide after the war as were killed during it. The...... inhuman qualities drilled into soldiers and Marines in wartime defeat them in peacetime. This is what Homer taught us in The Iliad, the great book on war, and The Odyssey, the great book on the long journey to recovery by professional killers. Many never readjust. They cannot connect again with wives, children, parents, or friends, retreat¬ ing into personal hells of self-destructive anguish and rage. “They program you to have no em
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.

"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....

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

"If it were proposed to invent some social system in which covetousness would be deliberately fostered and intensified in human nature, what system could be devised which would excel our own for this purpose?

"If it were proposed to invent some social system in which covetousness would be deliberately fostered and intensified in human nature, what system could be devised which would excel our own for this purpose? Competitive commerce exalts selfishness to the dignity of a moral principle. It pits men against one another in a gladiatorial game in which.... there is no mercy and in which 90 percent of the combatants finally strew the arena. It makes Ishmaels of our best men and teaches them that their h

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.
