MLK Jr said the same Truth, Fact, this way - "A person is not fit [equipped] to live until they know what they would be willing to die for."

Jesus said it this way - "Whoever would save their life will lose it; and whoever would lose their life for the sake of our neediest Family will Gain their Life."  Paraphrase with liberties, of which He would approve.

God is eternal, all-embracing, and exists across space and time. God is all there is. There is no other God than this God. All exists in Him. All life, when it appears, does not come from nothing, but rather, from God. And when death takes us, it does not take us to nothing, it takes us back to God," Leo Tolstoy from "A Calendar of Wisdom," Library tab above

nothing, but rather, from God. And when death
takes us, it does not take us to nothing, it takes
us back to God.

WOW. "Feeling compassion toward all living crea­ tures is essential to becoming a virtuous person. One cannot say, “He is a virtuous man, but he is not compassionate,” or “This is a compassionate man, but he is cruel.” These phrases simply do not make sense." Tolstoy, "Wise Thuoughts for Ever Day" (Library tab above)

Feeling compassion toward all living crea­
tures is essential to becoming a virtuous person.
One cannot say, “He is a virtuous man, but he is
not compassionate,” or “This is a compassionate
man, but he is cruel.” These phrases simply do
not make sense.

"If you understand yourself as a spiritual be­ ing, you can save yourself from all troubles. No matter what happens to you, you will be un­ touchable." Tolstoy

If you understand yourself as a spiritual be­
ing, you can save yourself from all troubles. No
matter what happens to you, you will be un­
touchable.

From "Wise Thoughts for Every Day," see Library tab above.

****** WOW: Tolstoy on God: "To forget about God means to forget about the one who is always inside you." (more)

People sometimes ask, “Have you forgotten
about God?” This is a good question. To forget
about God means to forget about the one who
is always inside you. To remember God — and
to do this not only through words but also by
constantly remembering that God lives in us —
is truly a great thing.

From Tostoy's "Wise Thoughts for Every Day,"  See Libray Tab.

***** WOW. Tolstoy on "Religion:" "Every person feels that there is some­ thing great inside him or her. In life, that something — that which cannot be understood — is the most important thing of all. A persons attitude toward that thing is religion."

"Every person feels that there is some­
thing great inside him or her. In life,
that something — that which cannot be
understood — is the most important thing of all.

***** (more) 'My greatest contribution? Greatest discovery?

ZERO CREDIT TO ME...

Recognizing, stating and Living that:

Loving IS, =, EQUALS IN TOTALITY -  the Heaven, Salvation that Jesus saw, the Truth Gandhi pursued, The 'God' the 'Saints' tortured themselves to unite with...Nothing More, Nothing Less, Nothing Else.  Simply Loving, that is, Living, each breath, with your Spirit of Loving in charge, to the Exclusion of all our other psychological capacities (as embodied in you Fleshly Spirit) EVER in charge.  NEVER, in the same way you NEVER thrust your hand into a hot flame,  and NEVER drink Drano, or never slush $1000 bills down the toilet, or eat sand when there is a nice plate of pasta you can eat,  instead.  Really. Exactly in this way;

That Loving IS its own reward, the Ultimate Reward.  Period.

That Loving in charge is the Only Sanity; all else being Insanity - deadly to one's self, and ultimately fatal to all humanity, EXACTLY as, and in the same way as is the cancer destroying my body - unmalicious selfishness - history's greatest killer, by far.  By far...;

That Loving is the ENTIRE Gospel.  FULL STOP.

That Loving is the universal, certain, complete, absolute cure for all psychological ills.

That all of the above is True because of the actual 'shape,' the actual DNA-given, epigenetic characteristics and tendency of our nervous system, and hence of the basic psychological 'world' we are pre-disposed to inhabit; though yes, this world can totally be crippled, mutated, mutilated into many other lesser things.  Look around you.


Many, many, many have come close in all of the above - (see Library [here and here, and tabs above for all the Giant's Shoulders I Stand on, and without which I've not have contributed my part]; but I know of no one that has seen, and spoken, and lived, this simple truth (ZERO CREDIT TO ME!!!] - that our psychological capacity for Loving as the Ultimate Reward, Joy, Heaven, the Kingdom, Nirvana (by whatever names, or no names at all), that it is our Ultimate and Only Hope, and that unleashing a mass epidemic of Universal Loving (Loving IS Universal, or it is NOT Loving) is the Only Hope now to avert Ecocide, the extinguishing of all decent life on earth, forever.'

Loving
ps:  Yes, no one has noticed, or been influenced by this, except me.  So it is of no consequence today, nor is likely to be in the future...
...pps:  Essentially, the same can be said of Jesus, and Gandhi said the same of himself - that he'd totally failed to impart his views, that almost reached what I've stated above, to well, pretty much anyway.  Rather than taking his teachings and examples to Heart, what had appeared to him, for a while, to be serious students, in fact, had taken his teachings as mere, temporary expedients, that in no way altered their essential way of being.  And this we've done to Buddha, MLK Jr, Jesus..., too.
...ppps:  I've had, and have, the most extreme Wealth of Joy, Peace of Heart, Passion, Loving of anyone you've ever known, objectively - due to my being 'religious' about Loving.  If you see, if you search your Heart for nothing else, about me, seek for the Truth of this.  That can make all else possible.
