My Goodness! "Peace Work IS 1. Being, 2. Establishing, 3. Building the "New Normal."
[NOTE: This is among my most difficult, most important insights.]
With the current "Normal" - Killing, Bloodshed, Exploitation, Environmental
Destruction are NORMAL, TO BE EXPECTED, THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF
OUR "NORMAL" WAY OF BEING - I MEAN, OUR "SELFISH" WAY OF BEING.
"Few people chose war. They chose SELFISHNESS and the result
was war." David Dellinger.
Note: Regarding the following, reflect on our major movements toward
Peace, Humanity, Health - Civil Rights, Suffrage, Anti-Apartheid, EARLY
Christianity... and you may see the usefulness of the following framework
of understanding.
"Example is not the major thing in influencing people. It is the only
thing." Albert Schweitzer.
Peace Work, or in "religious" terms, Saving folks and societies, is:
1. Being the "Change," the New Normal, that is, the Universal Love
incarnate we need to see in the world.
2. Establishing the New Normal: By virtue of Being the
New Normal, SOME ONLOOKERS MAY "SEE" THAT THEY
ARE NOT NORMAL, NOT "HEALTHY," NOT THE "NEW NORMAL," AND
WISH TO BE "HEALED," TO BECOME "HEALTHY" TOO. Peace Work,
Saving involves explicitly facilitating this awakening to the new normal.
KEY: Folks don't Change unless they "see" that they are Not Normal,
"Un-Healthy," Un-Human..." in whatever terms [again, think civil rights,
suffrage, early Christianity, anti-apartheid....] This stage of the
process involves the establishment of a critical mass, as small as that
may be - a nucleus of those that have become the "New Normal," the
change we need to see; the EMBODIMENT of the New Normal, the
New Way of Being Human.
3. Building the New Normal using 1 and 2 above as the foundation
and template, using new "institutions" to proliferate the New Normal
WHILE avoiding the almost inevitable, ENTIRELY FATAL step of
Institutional-IZING the New Normal - which is certain Death, and
certain STRENGTHEN the Old Normal - that has us on the edge of
destroying what Civilization there is, once and for all.

UNTRUSTWORTH - NEED NOT IMPLY MOTIVE. (But USUALLY shows lack thereof)
OMG, I was so disgustingly over-privileged in my youth. Hideous. Truly SHAMEful.
My Favorite car I ever had was this, below, blue, but not this exact one. Given to me, of course. :-(
I had to get rid of it. Doing so broke my heart. (Yes, that was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sick, but it did. I've grown some since, in my Values, thank God).
It could not be depended upon to do what I needed done, when I needed it. It was a freekin
car! It had no malice! It had no mal-intent! But it was undependable. As fun, beautifully
designed, stunning, high performing (when not broken) as it was, I needed something I could
EXTREMELY depend on. And it was not EXTREMELY dependable. With all its huge virtues,
it was a disaster for me, and it went.
UNTRUSTWORTHY - NEED NOT IMPLY MOTIVE. (But USUALLY shows lack thereof)

ps: But Untrustworthy ALMOST ALWAYS RESULTS FROM LACK OF MOTIVE - THE MOTIVE
TO MEET EXPECTATIONS REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL PRICE PAID TO DO SO - This is the actual,
PROFESSIONAL definition of '"Quality:" MEETING EXPECTATIONS.' Lack of it bankrupt GM,

pps: MG, the car co (below), ultimately went out of business exactly cuz their cars were untrustworthy;
stunning, fun, clever, high performance... but untrustworthy - and ultimately - worthless thereby.

"Harsh." Of 370 Gospel Categorizations, "Harsh" is the most frequent.
For 8 days now or so I've been studying Jesus' words, and
categorizing His words, verse by verse , that I may come to more
deeply, MUCH more deeply grasp, learn and BE GRASPED
by what He died to tell us. We will not make it unless we
begin to stand on his shoulders. Time's up for us.
Of 370 Gospel Categorizations I found myself creating
(Universal Love, Family, Our Father, Scribe....), "Harsh"
is the most frequent along with Our Father, Universal Love, and
One Immediate Family-No Double Standards.
This guy Jesus found it essential to be Harsh, in such a Cruel,
Deadly, Suffering, "Harsh," world; that has gotten much,
much, much more evil since then; including our new, powerful
immunity to Him and the Truths He died to show us.
Now, "Harsh" is not to be confused with Anger, or
Hostility, both of which He unequivocally labeled - Deadly
Errors (Sins).
One out of every seven verses of his words, out of 340
Matt. verses of Jesus in all, I had to label HARSH.

Huh. William Thomas / Thomas More. And "A Man for All Seasons."
"WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN? WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?"
Peter Paul and Mary 1962 Listen here
Huh. I just this second realized - Thomas More, and Wm. THOMAS, both
had the same name. I was thinking of the play because
Thomas loved it so.
It seems that when I told our [William] Thomas prop1.org
about it maybe 3 years ago he had never heard of the story,
a play really, "A Man for All Seasons." I got it for him, and he
watched it over, and over, and over, and over.
I got it for him because it is a story that has gripped
me since I first saw the movie many decades ago. And I wept
when I saw it, as did our Thomas. It made me think of
our Thomas - his better nature - the Profoundly Good Man.
It is about a man, a good man, THE ONE GOOD MAN IN ENGLAND,
THAT would NOT, IF IT COST HIM HIS VERY LIFE do anything,
say anything, victimize anyone, do whatever it took to stay in the graces of
their patron - Henry VIII. EVERYONE ELSE IN ENGLAND,
(except for his stoic wife and sheroic daughter) WOULD,
AND DID. Thomas More's CRIME was that he would not
SUCK UP TO THE PATRON HENRY VIII, as all the other courtiers,
parasites actually, would and did, ENDLESSLY. Why would he not?
Because that would be betrayal, of Truth, Goodness, Humanity, of his
fellow human beings, and his FRIEND Henry VIII. "It is as much
a duty to not cooperate with evil, as it is to avoid doing evil."
Gandhi.
Henry of course had the loot, castles, food, entertainment, and
even the power to cause anyone's death [ultimately Thomas More's].
So the parasites, the Takers, did their infinite role plays, contortions, flatteries,
deceits, lies, fakeries, games, charades, token contributions... and they lived,
[if being a parasite is actually "living???"]. Thomas More, who would not,
was for a long, long, long time tolerated - and then he was put to death,
by them all [except his wife and daughter.] Like Jesus before him,
and King and Gandhi after him, and martyrs and Saints.

Jesus - He was ENTIRELY about re-conceiving Family, IN THIS LIFE. ENTIRELY.
Duh - you say? :-) Yes, I AM slow. But my head is spinning with
the implications, grasping it, letting it grasp me, checking to see
if this is a correct understanding.... Huge.
I continue in more than a week's immersion in Jesus words, as
I do every Christ-mass week or so now, in these last few days
specifically in Matthew, just for practical reasons. Line by line, over
and over.
I am Stunned by the new appreciation that has exploded
within me this time - how CENTRAL is His notion, His Vision,
His Belief that THE VITAL DISTINCTION among us IN THIS LIFE is which of
two Families we belong to - His Father's or, by whatever name,
Satan's, Greeds, Lusts, Selfinessess's. That EVERYTHING, Every
Hope depends on 1. we as individuals bringing to TOP OF MIND
an ACUTE AWARENESS ALWAYS OF WHAT PRIMARY FAMILY WE ARE TRULY
IN - That of the Givers or the Takers (including bio-fam as PRIMARY
affiliation, instead of Givers/Father's), Our Father's and Satan's
respectively. And, 2. that what being Saved means, what being
Converted means is Moving IN THE HEART and BODY from the Family of
the Takers to the Family of the Givers; and in doing so we
create or increase the opportunity of attracting others to
Convert to His Family. THIS IS HUGE FOR ME. HUGE. It is what
has been going on in me for a decade or more, but to more clearly
see it, that is a massive gift. And it can aid me in His Work.
It is only Start that didn't "get this?" "Who is my mother, who
are my brothers," is NOT just a really important aside. It is the
whole mission for Jesus to A. make the distinction of 2 Families
CLEAR (I came to divide), B. Elevate Our Father's Family - the
Kingdom; and C. Get us about Saving ourselves and Others
by joining the currently minute Family of Givers, Our Father's
Family.
I have much more growing to do in these coming days in this
new clarity.
If it is Our Father's will that you do so, I sure wouldn't mind
if you scanned my Journey from time to time

It's that we are born these nearly infinitely Giving,
Universally Loving, Creative Spirits, and when our
culture stuffs into ever smaller containers of Selfishness,
well it is Hell - Prison - living Death, Clinically. And the
Madness is, most of us don't see it, and think everything
is fine. It isn't. Not for us, not for those we lead into
the same Walking Deadness. Will the sleepers awake?

Jesus had Peter had quite a go round on this:
'Peter, do you Love (agape) me?"
"I love you like you were my brother (filios)."
Hmmmmm. "PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME?!?!?!?"
Jesus had to ask twice more.
Imagine if we eliminated words like cyanide,
nitrogen, carbon dioxide... and only had the
word Oxygen for all gas. That would be a problem.
Well we have a MUCH bigger problem. We only,
CARELESSLY use the world Love for:
Universal Love
Lust
Sex
Desire
Friendship
Acquantainceship
One night stands
Pleasurableness
Blood relationships
Romance
Reciprocal relations.....
Love is Universal OR IT IS NOT LOVE.

The ENTIRE point of the Gospels / Jesus life: One Father, we're ALL ONE FAMILY, NO DOUBLE STANDARDS, GET ON WITH IT.
The ENTIRE point of the Gospels / Jesus life:
One Father, we're ALL ONE FAMILY,
NO DOUBLE STANDARDS,, EVER, GET ON WITH IT.
We killed Jesus for telling us this. We hated Him for it.
And for 1900 years we've been killing ourselves to
make anything and everything else BESIDE THIS
the point of His teachings. And now it is almost too
late for us to get it right.
It is up to me. It is up to YOU now. We are the last chance.
CJ - I GIVE YOU TWO COMMANDMENTS:
1. Devote your life entirely to the will of Our One Father
2. Devote your life entirely to the Least of These in
Our One global Family - ESPECIALLY the poor,
ESPECIALLY the enemy, ESPECIALLY the foreigner.
There is NOTHING BESIDES THIS in Jesus' Teachings.
Everything else was embellishment, clarification,
emphasis and support.
This is the Law and the Prophets.
Embracing THIS, THAT WE ARE ALL IMMEDIATE FAMILY,
THAT WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS...
THIS ALONE IS SALVATION -
A. PERSONAL SALVATION from a Joyless, Meaningless Life,
B. COLLECTIVE SALVATION from Global Civilization Collapse.
THERE IS NO OTHER SALVATION. EVER. PERIOD.
GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JOYFUL NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shari - is She why I'm here? OMG
What an incredibly sacred encounter. Half an hour maybe.
She's 19ish maybe? Today she returns to China from her
6 months exchange program.
Stunning. Kind. Thoughtful. Open. Informed. Wondering.
Mature. Concerned for the world. Inquisitive. Smart. Educated....
She asked it all. She grasped it all - that I have to offer.
We discussed the various human rights movements. She
totally gets - she emphasizes to me - the determination
of the Chinese Gov. to prevent dissent. She sees the
impossibility of resisting - trying to improve human rights
in China. BUT SHE SEES THAT WISELY, NOT RECKLESSLY,
MAKING THE ATTEMPT IS LIFE ITSELF.
A really fun, brief part of our exchange - as she and I were
sitting cross legged and talking, a group of Chinese
tourists came and went - and Shari said - "Do you care
about what people say about you?" Well, I told her
that everyone that comes through the park is my
brother or sister, but that most are waking dead, so dead
that I know that either they will not "see" me, or they'll think
I'm an idiot, or whatever. But the 1 in 10,000 like her -
she is why I am here. "Well," she said, "the Chinese
that were just here were saying that you work for the
government, a fake, to show that people in the US have
the ability to bring about change, when they really don't."
We both laughed heartily. Knowing it is true, if we
continue to let it be.
I worry for her.
She will not forget our encounter.
She now lives in me, and I in her.
"I'm going to go back to China and try to make it a
better place," she said with unmistakable clarity.
We both are changed.
OMG.
