It is the example of others lives that has moved my life back in the direction of sanity, humanity, compassion, empathy, decency... the self into which we are all born. The lives of those like Eleanor Roosevelt, Malala, Teresa of Calcutta, Alice Paul, Dorothy Day, Gandhi, Martin Luther King jr.... It is only then that their words have helped me understand how to accomplish that move.  "Example is not the major thing in influencing people.  It is the only thing." Albert Schweitzer

Seen on Facebook: Sympathy is easy because it comes from a position of power. Empathy requires getting down on your knees at eye level with the neediest and feeling their pain.

***** I caught a glimpse of something very significant this morning. It is an evolution of something I've written of in the last several weeks. In fact, I was in a building with many many other people that speak and live in a very rough manner. A microcosm, really, of our broader culture. A vision came to me, nothing mystical, a vision came to me where I could see alongside each and every individual, in my mind, a tiny shadow self, the spirit of the child they had been, the spirit of Loving, awe, wonder, Brotherhood, reverence for life. It was evident that that shadow person was displaced by the worldly person. That led me to see that the revolution, the only revolution that could save the future, the only revolution that has ever been available, is to lead successfully a rebellion, the overthrow of the worldly person by that displaced shadow which is the loving child. That is the army that needs to come into power. That is what I must try and learn to activate, empower, raise.

I bring you Good News. You'll experience this life as heaven, tho materially it will be hell, if you live, every breath, these three commandments: 1. Love Creator (Loving), 2. Love your Brother (exactly everyone)... with your whole mind, your whole soul, your whole body, your whole spirit. 3. There is no number 3, 4, 1000.... The churches are lying to you. For 2000 years they have been lying to you. There is only 1 & 2.

I'm pro life: Pro my idea of life, that I insist on imposing  on yours. My ability to kill your life to protect mine. My ability to kill the lives of others to protect my life.

***** These are the real terrorists, truly, actually, as a matter of fact: The freedom to terrorize is the freedom fought for by those who fight all sane gun regulation. The freedom to terrorise you.

There is no 'we must do something,' there is no 'we.' That 'we' is an excuse for each individual to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait... safely, meaninglessly, pitifully on the sidelines. There is only change when one I, then another I, and another I, and another and another and another... stands up and does not sit down until the change occurs or until they are killed.

***** warning, if you read this, read the entire thing. I find the zealous right to lifers to be disgusting, degenerate, moral mutants. They have so little empathy, so little compassion, so little humanity that the farthest their hearts can expand is an unborn zygote. They reduce all that is important in the world to an unborn zygote. And I am concerned that even Pope Francis may fit in this category. This is not religious, it is, at best,  A  perverted fetish. I find equally deadly, and maybe more so, the masses of us who place little or no active value on that zygote, which indisputably is life. We too murderously violate the 'reverence for life' which is the centerpiece sanity and constructive living.
