THE MEASURE OF HUMANITY; FOR JESUS IT WAS BILLIONS

OUR HUMANITY'S MEASURE: THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN OUR "IMMEDIATE FAMILY (RECEIVE OUR FULL HUMANITY OUR PROPENSITY FOR OUR FULL HUMANITY):

Jesus: XX,000,000,000

Most of us: XX

OUR INHUMANITY'S MEASURE: THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE NOT IN OUR "IMMEDIATE FAMILY (RECEIVE OUR NEGLECT, LIP SERVICE, LEFT OVERS, EXPLOITATION, HOSTILITY; OUR PROPENSITY FOR OUR INHUMANITY):

Jesus: 0

Most of us: XX,000,000,000

What is important about Jesus is his Humanity, NOT whatever Divinity He may or may not have (which is a murderous, hideous distraction from what He died for). Jesus was a man, a man that found the secret to life, and died trying to share it with us. (King, Gandhi, Teresa, Berrigan... DID share.)

The secret of Jesus? The key to Heaven on Earth for you, me all humankind? The key to the psychological place of infinite Joy? Humanity; your Humanity; the size of your Humanity.

But, my Humanity is not under my individual control! My Humanity is entirely under my individual control in the same sense as is my capacity to speak French, play the piano or climb mountains.

Merry Christmas.
