King, Gandhi, Jesus... REVILED THE "TALKERS" / HYPOCRITES / FAKES / COUNTERFEITS.

King, Gandhi, Jesus MOST REVILED THE "TALKERS" / HYPOCRITE / FAKE / COUNTERFEIT.

Difference tween Real and Hypocrite / Fake / Counterfeit  is that between
DOERS and TALKERS  (risk-little activists, writers, Bloggers, Facebookers, YouTubers....)
Personal Responsibility and Blame / Excuses / Scapegoat / Persecute.

The REAL ones are folks of SCRUPULOUS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

"Give me a DOER  of any persuasion, ANY DAY.
Don't give me any Talkers / Fakes / Hypocrites / Counterfeits."   SL inspired by CJ, King, Gandhi

Think about:

Gandhi
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus
Eleanor Roosevelt
Diane Wilson
Helen Caldicott
William Thomas...

Think about:

Christians
Progressives
Republicans
Democrats

YAHOO!!!!!!!! Start's off line!!!!! [for a while] :-)

Hi! 

Well, not completely off line, but sort of in a cave.
Yes, my Vigil work continues but mentally I'm in a hugely
different focus for a time.

I will continue to use this lull in DC Political activity to
devote as much uninterrupted time to matters of the Spirit,
as possible - studying and responding to the Words
and Works of Christ Jesus.

You may or may not see bursts of activity on the
Spiritual Front from me, but on the Climate Change,
Health Care, Global Issues front I'm not even looking
beyond the major headlines. 

I don't expect to return to normal in that regard till
after New Years.

Your Loving brother,

CHRISTMAS, I DIDN'T SEE THE MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TILL THIS MORNING!!!!!!

Jesus wasn't the Miracle. 

Jesus was the RESULT you'd EXPECT from the Miracle!

So what is this Miracle I just "got?"

No, it isn't the made-up stuff about the "virgin birth," winged
angels, and the like.  That's make believe, and it has killed
over 1900 years time, and millions of people.

It wasn't that there was something special about baby
Jesus per se - THERE WAS NOT.  He was just like any other,
EVERY OTHER baby.

Know what It was??????????  I didn't see it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Miracle was, that for whatever set of reasons, people
from all over the world saw that this baby was precious,
more precious than any treasure, and they dropped their
selfish lives, left their over-privileged biological families,
and at extreme physical sacrifice, out of Love, lavished
their Love on the underprivileged baby Jesus, and his biological family, WHO
WERE AMONG THE LEAST OF THESE OUR FAMILY born in
the streets - poor - among the poorest.  And of course, that
is what Healthy, Loving Family does, right?  Focuses on,
devotes itself NOT to the MOST of these in the Family,
but the Least, the Needy, the Sick, the Poor IN THE FAMILY!

The Miracle was that strangers, foreigners, "enemies,"
not-family... realized that they WERE One Family - no double
standards - and for a moment they LIVED IT.

So Jesus never knew any different!  HE THOUGHT EVERYONE
WAS HIS BROTHER AND SISTER, CUZ THAT IS HOW HE CAME
INTO THE WORLD!  And that's why Jesus remained the
Christ (repository of Universal Love, One-Family Member)
that we are all born as!  AND IT CHANGED JESUS. 

AND IT CHANGED THE WORLD, A LITTLE.

AND IF WE'D SEE, AND UNDERSTAND THE REAL MIRACLE
IT WOULD SAVE THE WORLD. AND NOTHING ELSE WILL.
EVER.

THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS LEFT FOR US TO DO SO.

It will take a Miracle to Save us. 

Universal Love is the Miracle.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!


CHRISTMAS, I DION'T SEE THE MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TILL THIS MORNING!!!!!!

Political Left & Right: 2 Faces of InHumanity. OBAMA'S THE 3RD WAY.

The "Right" kills by elevating primitive action over ideas.

The "Left" kills by substituting ideas for courageous action.

President Obama represents the 3RD WAY, IF WE WILL JOIN HIM:

THE 3RD WAY: IDEAS + COURAGEOUS ACTION.

The most important thing I know? "Spirit is Everything. Our purpose here is to advance and protect Spirit. ANY physical cost is worth it to protect and nurture Spirit. Period." SL

[[[NOTE:  Although I've attempted this before, I'm quite serious
about disciplining myself to no longer bombard you with emails, confining

The most important thing I know?

"Spirit is Everything. 
Our purpose here is to advance and protect Spirit. 
ANY physical cost is worth it to protect and nurture Spirit.
Period." 
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,
FOR THE JOY OF IT!!!

THIS IS HOW IT IS.

THIS IS HOW WE WORK.

THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS.

PERIOD.

True Muslims, DEEPLY, DEEPLY OFFENDING (without so intending) by Living their beliefs, should NEVER INFLICT them unnecessarily...

True Believers, DEEPLY, DEEPLY OFFENDING by Living their beliefs (without so
intending to offend) should not inflict themselves unnecessarily on anyone...
to the point of removing themselves regardless of whether this means extreme extreme
personal inconvenience, sacrifice, suffering... for themselves.

True for the True Muslim, but also for the True Christian, True Atheist,  True Devote of Extreme
Tough Universal Love, True Jew....  This is the way of ALL True Believers.

We are all brothers and sisters and must CARE to avoid causing unnecessary
suffering of others, even for practicing what we believe.  No, it is not that the True Believer
should cease Living  their beliefs, NOR EVER APOLOGIZE for doing so!!!!  But they
should likely, immediately remove themselves. 

For example, a scorpion has every reason, right AND OBLIGATION to be a scorpion and should always
do so, but should not make his home among deer, regardless of what personal pain,
suffering or inconvenience that might cause the scorpion, unless by some miracle the
deer are tolerant of his occasional, unintended sting, which is unavoidable by virtue of
Living as a True Scorpion.

Now, there can be important exceptions; for example, a skunk, much offending of all
other creatures, seeing his beloved lambs threatened by circling wolves MUST INFLICT
HIMSELF among the lambs that they not be devoured, but upon the threat being removed,
and the lambs rediscovering their deep offense, the skunk must promptly remove himself.

Or, a chemo therapy drug, must never inflict himself upon a body, for all the pain and
discomfort that brings, even upon a cancerous body, UNLESS or UNTIL that drug reasonably
perceives that by inflicting himself at that time on that cancer he can likely bring about health,
or the elimination of needless suffering.  At the point its job is done, or its theory disproved
(that it can bring health to THAT body, at THAT time), this cancer drug must avoid inflicting
itself further if it is bringing about ongoing pain, suffering, sickness..., regardless of what
consequences it faces personally.

And there are a few other exceptions along those lines.

This is the way of True Belief.

That is the way of Universal Love.

MUST READ: Republican Death Trip PAUL KRUGMAN NYT

"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."  Edmund Burke


My friend Rick and I constantly battle (with deep mutual respect) over the importance of the public opinion polls that state, for example, "the public is in favor of:"  Closing Guantanamo, Prosecuting Bush and Cheney, Ending the Iraq War....

The point I try to make is - YES, WITH OUR LIPS WE-THE-SHEEPLE FAVOR, but when it comes down to fighting, for it, RISKING FOR IT, SACRIFICING EVERYTHING FOR IT?!!??!?!  Nah.

We are surrendering this Country to the Death Mob, the Hate Mob without moving from our comfortable chairs, without putting our lives on the line, WITHOUT PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE LINE we nice, reasonable, "blue state," American sheeple.

Gandhi was totally against "violence" ["hostility" is what he meant], BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE, GANDHI MOST ABHORRED "COWARDICE," responding timidly, or not at all, or without total self-commitment in the face of impending atrocity; that EVEN VIOLENCE WAS PREFERABLE TO PASSIVITY.

[!!! NO, I AM NOT ADVOCATING VIOLENCE !!!!  But I am ADVOCATING COURAGEOUS, COMMENSURATE, UNSTOPPING ACTION.  NOW.]

What "atrocity?"  The impending takeover of America by the Mob.

Start's just barely keeping his head above water. Not complaining, but rather aching that he can't do more to help.

I'm not as "nice" as I used to be. 

But if I were, this would be an indictment of me; it would
be a clear indication I was staying on the sidelines and not pushing myself to the absolute
limits for my "family," Humanity, as is called for from all of us at such a pivotal, desperate time...
I would not be Waging Love with all of my might.  But I am making the attempt.  "Soldiers" that
dearly love their comrades, when in the midst of battle, are likely to be a bit,
unintentionally "rough;"  or they are not responding appropriately to the REAL emergency.
Sorry, in advance, or in arrears, as the case may be.  Distance yourself from me,
or drop me altogether when you must.

I need 10,000 of me right now to achieve what needs to be achieved!!!!!!!!!!!  At least.  Soon, it will be too late.

This is such a crucial time for Humanity.  Such crucial, ultimate, for-all-time
decisions on the direction of America and therefore the world ARE BEING DECIDED, NOW
including...
  • Whether we completely crucify President Obama or fight alongside him, shield him, and win; unlike
    how we failed in the opportunity presented by JFK, RFK, King, Gandhi, Romero, Jesus....
  • Whether we once and for all cede America to the Corporations forever or, using Healthcare
    as a pivot issue, rise up and take America back from their bloody grasp.
  • Whether we win Climate Change legislation  BEFORE COPENHAGEN IN DEC (7th)
    and: 1. literally begin saving Humanity from destruction; and 2. Thereby avoid
    ceding domination of the renewable energy industry to China, if it is not already
    too late for that.
  • Whether we suffer the fate of 1920's Germans and through our cowardice, timidity,
    delusion, indecision... allow the Brown Shirt Mob to take utter and final control
    of this country, dooming the world to horrors never seen before.
I spend every waking moment on these issues.  I am blessed with the opportunity to
maintain the 28 Year Peace Vigil, but of course that constrains what else I can do.  So,
thanks to the blessing of a laptop and wifi, and a place to sleep
(thanks Angel Ellen) I spend all waking hours per day, when not speaking with folks at the vigil,
combing the country's newspapers - and where I think it might help, I post comments -
these are the pseudo "town hall" meetings I can "reach," and speak up within!  And of course I research, comb hundreds
of articles on Climate Change, and post, and blog, and facebook, and youtube....  The youtube.com/StartLoving1 site
is up to 545 subscribers and receives up to several thousand viewings per day, and many comments.

But, this is wwwaaayyyyy  tooooooooooooooo inadequate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to:
  • Be AT these town meetings on the American-Soul-determining Healthcare fight.
  • Attending, hosting, supporting, executing, funding every action I conceivably could
    at http://barackobama.com and moveon.org - two EXCELLENT organizations today.
  • Be Reading and Mastering "The Family" to grasp, and formulate a reaction to the
    deeply Demonic threat these folks constitute.  [MUST SEE DN! segment yesterday]
  • Be Reading and Mastering Chip Bartlet's work about the Right Wing in America
    that is SOOOO CLOSE to re-emerging and finishing the destruction reeked on
    this land these last 40 years. [MUST SEE DN! segment today]
  • Be down in West Virginia getting arrested with the heroic activists standing against
    Mountaintop Removal.
  • Etc.
  • Etc.
  • Etc
  • Etc.
  • Etc.
  • Etc....
I'm not as "nice" as I used to be.  But if I were, this would be an indictment of me; it would
be a clear indication I was staying on the sidelines and not pushing myself to the absolute
limits for my "family," Humanity, as is called for from all of us at such a pivotal, desperate time
Waging Love with all of my might.
