Jesus was the Keeper of the Spirit; His entire job. "Love as I have Loved." We are to be the same.
Jesus was the Keeper of the Spirit; His entire job; His Entire Life.
"Love as I have Loved." We are to be the same. Exactly.
"If you Love me, you will do greater works
than these because I go on to Our Father."
The Spirit - the Keeper(s) of the Spirit,
in ourselves, only so that we may
keep it, rekindle it in the world.
This is our ENTIRE job.
This is the ENTIRE
reason we are
here.
This is our
Joy.

Hi!
Which nano-second is it ok to not walk with God,
to not be Our Father's child,
to not be Our Father's slave / servant,
to not do Our Father's will,
to not stand with Our Father,
to not be Our Father's Love incarnate,
to not serve the most suffering of His/Our Family?
Which pico-second?
No, :-) , I'm not inviting you to respond to me.
I'm sharing a wonderful idea that has been Serving
me, Feeding me MIGHTILY, Enlightening, Guiding me in recent months.
Love you.

This is where the Catholic Church and hate-filled anti-abortionists go wrong.

This is true for our paragons of Human Health.
If we are Spirit beings, (and we are), then Helping, Serving which are the FOOD
of the Spirit, are MOST PARAMOUNT for SURVIVAL.

The most important thing I know?
"Spirit is Everything.

ANY physical cost is worth it to protect and nurture Spirit.

SL
1. Spirit is EVERYTHING, in part
because EVERYTHING PHYSICAL results from, flows from Spirit.
2. Spirit is EVERYTHING because as human
beings Spirit is the EVERYTHING of how our life "feels,"
from horrible to heaven, and every possibility in between.
Human Spirit (capital S) I'm talking of - a feature of
our Nervous System; And more particularly
the Spirit (cap S) that is some amalgam of what we
call Conscience / Empathy / Humanity /
Compassion / Universal Love / Wholeness.
3. BECAUSE EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON SPIRIT,
OUR ENTIRE PURPOSE AND WORK IS TO PROTECT AND NURTURE SPIRIT,
IN OURSELVES, IN OTHERS, PAYING WHATEVER
PRICE IS REQUIRED OF US TO DO SO,

I NEVER expected Alienation and Joy to be linked! Pain yes, but Joy??? :-)
I NEVER expected Alienation and Joy to be linked!
That I feel profoundly alienated from Religion, the middle class,
the business world, Americans, the Religious, the elite
the "Peace" / Activist community... (all but the military)...
probably does not shock anyone that knows me.
I've felt profoundly, and excruciatingly alienated from virtually
all segments of society, well, for as long as I can remember,
into my earliest years.
I don't recall the thought ever occurring to me that this
alienation would ever be associated with anything but
great pain, agony. But with Joy, utter Joy,
Freedom, Air, Life, Peace??? But I realized last week that,
so it is!
The spark for this realization was when I found myself writing
something I'd never thought or written before - ever -
"GOD DAMN AMERICANS" in conjunction with the Congress'
repudiation of the Goldstone report - a consummately Naziesque
move - Right is Wrong, Good is Bad - Orwellian move relative to our
Palestinian Family. NO this was not an expression of hate by me.
Americans are [part of] my Family. But it WAS an expression
that Americans are no longer EXCLUSIVELY my Family!!!!!!!!
Palestinians are every bit as much my Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, in my head, and my Heart this has been true, for my
whole life! But NOW IT IS TRUE IN MY SOUL, IN MY VERY
BEING - THEY ARE PART OF ME, AS AMERICANS ALWAYS HAVE
BEEN!!!!!!!
This is such Joy!!!! It is the Joy an addict feels when he
realizes he is CLEAN of his addiction! This is the "Wholeness"
our sister Diane writes of.
Yes, my alienation is COMPLETE (or MORE complete than
it has been). And on the other side of excruciating partial alienation
is JOY!!!! On the other side of partial alienation is OUR FATHER-
UNITY WITH OUR FATHER. WHOLENESS!!!!!!!!!! UNITY!!!!!!!!
Now, it is not that I am alienated from ANYONE now. I am
alienated from the sub-human FORMS we've embraced
as normal - I AM ALIEN FROM THE MATRIX IN ALL ITS FORMS!!!
My point is not to claim some sort of personal achievement,
accomplishment, status.... My point is to share the attributes
of this journey that Jesus and others have died to lead
us on!
I have asthma now. For the last month it has been developing.
It is very difficult for me to get more than 3 hours of sleep or
so - I'm continually being awakened every minute or so
gasping for breath. That, the chest pain of a month
ago, the rapid destruction of my teeth (huge holes in the crowns,
1/8" ea. where my night grinding has literally destroyed them...
make me very aware of my vulnerability and mortality.
I have zero wish for death. I do not fear death. Whether I live or
die is not my business - it is Our Father's business, and I
experience being SOOOOOO totally at Peace with that. I find
Living as Brother an infinite fascination. If find the prospect of my death
exactly and entirely and simply just one interesting part of my
Life. Fascinating.
Why the Joy? Why this complete Peace? I live with
Our Father already. Yes, I was excruciatingly
"alien" from almost everyone in my life since my earliest years.
I despised that feeling. What I didn't realize was that I was
ALIEN FROM OUR FATHER. I was caught between the two worlds!!!
I'M NOT ALIEN FROM OUR FATHER ANYMORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm not alien from ANY of Our 6.7billion Family - in their
essence - but totally in their InHumanity that is killing them.
You Prodigal Brother.

Nancy,
I'm almost always very upbeat, really. Yesterday, for a fleeting
moment, the thought entered my mind, "Start, what if you knew
that there was absolutely no hope, that your efforts are of
absolutely zero hope, impact or positive value. What then?
[because at the moment, I correctly realized that this may be true]"
My answer came immediately - "I'd keep doing what I'm doing.
I don't want the existence of a parasite; I don't want what that feels like.
I don't want to be evil. I don't want to live separated from the
Love within me as a brother for all of Humanity born and to be born.
Been there, done that.
I don't want a life of pleasure when I can have the Life of Joy
that comes from Dying for a better world, one with with less
suffering, and more Joy."
