GETTING FROGS TO JUMP AS BOIL APPROACHES.

Seems that when you place a frog in a large pot, slloowwwlllyyy bring it to boil, the frog stays put, does nothing and dies.

Yup, just like us. Place us on a planet bring it slowly enough to a boil (morally, spiritually, economically, militarily, ecologically) we stay put, do nothing, die.

I'm a frog.

You are a frog.

Your partner is a frog.

Your community is frogs....

What are you going to do.

What if you notice,

and jump toward
HUMANITY?
You might save yourself.
You might awaken,
you might
save the whole pond.

DO YOU CARE TO TRY?

ULTIMATE WEAPON: ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

All war is ultimately psychological - whoever sufficiently changes minds toward their ends, wins.

We warriors for everyone's humanity need weapons / tactics of a variety of strengths and purposes.

We need an ultimate weapon for dire circumstances:

Jesus was Gandhi's model:

Mark Chapter 8 34:
He summoned the crowd
with his disciples
and said ⁸ to them,
"Whoever wishes to come after me
must deny himself,
take up his cross,
and follow me.

35 For whoever wishes
to save his life
will lose it,
but whoever loses his life
for my sake
and that of the gospel ⁹
will save it.

This is not mumbo jumbo. This is not metaphysics. Not religion. Not superstition.

This is the truth of our individual and collective humanity / psychology / biology.

Well intended, calculated,
ultimate self-sacrifice
is the ultimate
psychological weapon.
It disables InHumanity, and

inflames Humanity.

Wars waged with this weapon will cost lives and blood - of the Human Warrior herself. But one tiny fraction of the lives required in fundamentally futile wars of destruction/sacrifice-of-others.

SATAN OR GOD IS YOUR FATHER.

SATAN OR GOD IS YOUR FATHER.

No, this is not true, and neither is 1+1=2 true in the sense that neither is written in nature anyplace. But both are indespensibly useful, human-made devices for navigating Life.

IT IS "AS IF" SATAN OR GOD IS YOUR FATHER. And, consciously or not we choose.

I mean, who would dispute that Jesus lived "as if" his Father who he loved and obeyed completely were God, the loving Mother of all creation?

Who would dispute that Start lived most of his life as though his Mother were Satan? Yes, even though I was a nice guy, no one would say I was a brother to all of humanity during most of my selfish life.

This is not mumbo jumbo. This is not metaphysics. Not religion. Not superstition.

This is the truth of our individual and collective humanity / psychology / biology.

DEFINITION: HUMANITY

HUMANITY is the OPPOSITE of INHUMANITY.

Simple.

"[Be] unto others all that you would have them [be] unto you."

"... Live just like Jesus lived."
John

"... lay down your life for the [enemy]"

INHUMANITY: LET US COUNT THE WAYS

Hmmmmmm. (God srike me dead if this Post is .000001% cynical)

1. If you are NOT Daine Wilson, Amy Goodman, Col. Ann Wright, Aung San Suu Kyi or several hundred others like them on the planet;
2. If you are NOT in the lower classes of a 3rd or 2nd world country;
3. And if you are over the age of four
4. Etc...

WE CAN COUNT THE WAYS OF HUMANITY ROUGHLY WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:

+ All of the waking minutes of you and everyone you know

- The few minutes per day that are spent on 199% selfless acts by these folks

The human nervous system CANNOT BE FULLY MOBILIZED by the concept of "Resistance." We are not "resistors," we are by nature "creators!"

"We will wage Humanity" is vastly more engaging than "we will engage in resistance against the enemy."


Yes, that there will be SOME resistance as PART of WAGING HUMANITY is no problem. But resistance defines entirely in terms of the opposition.

In the absence of opposition, Resistance has no function. WHAT THEN?!??!?!

}}}}}}}} "MY HUMANITY." PERFECT. {{{{{{{{{{{

THE PERFECT SINGULARITY: "MY HUMANITY."

English language is so prone to error, misinterpretation, multiple interpretations. "My Humanity" is less prone to problem than alternatives such as Love, Family, Compassion....

The Language we need to mobilize saving the world needs also to move us directly and strongly into control by the "Heart," that part of our nervous system as distinct from "Head" and "Flesh." "My Humanity," and "Humanity" as distinct from "InHumanity" strongly mobilize the Heart and disempower control by Head and Flesh; moreso than any other language I've found.

The meanings of "My Humanity:"

1. That Humanity that is from my DNA and potentially available to me as an active human being.
2. That Humanity that is "mine" in the way my hair is mine and my lungs are "mine;" that is all 6 billion born, and 10's of billions unborn!

SPOTTING A "COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIAN"

• NO. Lay down life for fellow man.
• NO. Do unto others ALL she would have them do unto her.
• NO. Live just like Jesus lived.
• NO. Poor.
• NO. Lays down life for her enemy.
• NO. Has only one coat.
• NO. Treats everyone as "immediate family."
• NO. Brimming over with love.
• NO. Thoroughly "good Samaritan."
  

DROWNING IN COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY

Few of us have ever met more than one or two "genuine" "Christians."

Yet we are drowning in an ocean of self-proclaimed "Christians."

}}} THERE IS NO ENEMY BESIDES SPIRIT OF EMPIRE {{{

Yes, this bears repeating.

EVERY ERG OF ENERGY WASTED ON FIGHTING "THE" EMPIRE (Stuff, Systems, Institutions) is energy FED TO THE BEAST - EMPIRE - EMPIRE SERVED / EMPIRE STRENGTHENED!

The Spirit of Empire MUST be STARVED of our Hostility and Attention.

All of our attention must go into Waging Our Humanity!

YES! There ARE enemies of the flesh, the body besides the Spirit of Empire - disease, famine, drought.... But these are not enemies in the sense that they are "hostile" to us.

AND, these non-hostile-enemies ARE BEST FOUGHT BY "WAGING HUMANITY."

CRAZY: "ONE FLEW OVER THE CUKOO'S NEST?"

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

... man wrapped in a blanket on the steps of the Cannon house office building. .... BTW, he calls himself Start Loving (formerly known as Jay McGinley) and ...

________________________

The wonderful man that wrote these three articles on the Hunger Strike writes among other things that I may be a bit crazy.

A review of my blogs for the last few years will reveal that the notion of me being crazy was often in my mind - not because I thought that I might have been. No. But it was in my mind because I was aware that I was taking a 180 degree turn away from the norms of society and that therefore:

1. THEORETICALLY craziness was a possible explanation;
2. I MUST LOOK CRAZY TO EVERYONE WATCHING! I thought.

That is behind me. Craziness is now obvious to me! But not Start's craziness, but the clinical craziness of the western world.

I will not go further here, in part because this entire blog is about the craziness in the world.

Literally, our only hope is mass therapy.

"IT WOULD BE SUICIDE TO..."

It would be suicide to:

1. Jump on a live grenade to save your buddies
2. Reenlist, reenlist... to stay and protect your buddies in Iraq
3. Attempt to assassinate Hitler as Bonhoeffer did
4. Speak out against Poverty, Racism and Militarism as Dr. King did
5. Stand up for Muslims in India as Gandhi did
6. Self-immolate as Buddhist monks did in Vietnam, bringing Dr. King in on their side by doing so
7. Stand up to racists in the south as northern college students did, and died
8. Stand up to banning rules in South Africa as Steve Biko did
9. Stand up to Roman / Jewish authorities as Jesus did
10. ....

Hmmmm. Seems like to be of any use to humanity, well, er, um... IT WOULD BE SUICIDE.

HELL: SEPARATION FROM OUR HUMANITY

Well, think about it. No, I never used to look at it that way either.

But now it is so simple, so obvious. Sin, Error is to be separated from oneself - from one's Divine, High, Transcendent, Joyful, aLive, True self.

There is no other Hell.

There can be no greater Hell.

YOU ARE MURDERING YOUR CHILDREN

By living a "normal life" in the face of impending moral, social, spiritual, material, ecological cataclysm you are incinerating your child's Spirit of Humanity. They cannot maintain that Spirit, they must suppress and destroy that naturally, DNA given Spirit in the face of such cowardice, inaction, denial and InHumanity on the part of their parents.

Dead men walking - that is what you are raising.

"WHAT IS A PATRIOT," THE REPORTER ASKED.

A reporter out of a small Georgia based outfit interviewed me on the Steps of the Cannon Office Building about patriotism.

My comments:

• Willing and ready to stand with their life and the welfare of their family for the common good
• Protective of the highest good as represented by the Constitution over loyalties to a particular ruler or group
• Disciplined

In the US, although they are brainwashed, our men and women in uniform tend to be our only true patriots.

With a paltry handful of exceptions those in the Peace movement do not meet the criterion above, and hence are not among the patriots. Yet?

YOUR SPOUSE DENIES TITANIC IS SINKING. YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH LIFE.

YOUR SPOUSE DENIES TITANIC IS SINKING. YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH LIFE.

What do you do?

1. Stay with the spouse. Result is three deaths.
2. Leave to escape and live. Spouse stays. Already dead.
3. Leave to escape and live. Spouse wakes to your absence. Joins you. THREE LIVE.

WORST SCENARIO IS COMPLETE SELF-SACRIFICE NOW EXCEPT...

In the face of near certain Armageddon for 30% of us joining the 70% already in material hell:

• WORST SCENARIO IS COMPLETE SELF-SACRIFICE NOW EXCEPT...
• ...EXCEPT FOR ALL THE OTHER SCENARIOS!!!!

At the time I conceived of this post (I'm fleshing it out on 10/15) I had a flash of insight that my life was being called for immediately on this campaign right down to the details of how to allow things to terminate within about 4o days.

This was extremely exciting in the same way it would be exciting for any father to see how to rescue his previously doomed children, though it would cost his life.

We face the ultimate horror - eradication of all humanity. This requires the ultimate weapon - ultimate sacrifice.

Duh.

BECAUSE OF FAMILY AND JOB YOU: CANNOT or MUST?

BECAUSE OF FAMILY AND JOB YOU: CANNOT or MUST?

As impossible as this choice is, it has always been the choice in times of crisis.

It all comes down to denial and Truth, self-service and other service, service of life and service of death.

1. Do you value the true outlook for your "family" through future generations, body and SOUL?
2. Do you value more highly their short term comfort and avoidance of impending crisis?

2 EMPIRE DESTROYERS: 1. YOUR INNOCENT BLOOD; 2. SEEING ITSELF

1. Your innocent blood. Imagine your dear brother, uncharacteristically in a drunken stupor, about to beat his family. You interpose your body and as he is about to beat you, he wakes up at the horror of the idea.
2. The evil is caused to see itself. Same example with your brother. This time, you do not interpose yourself, you bring a mirror into the room so he can "see" himself about to strike.

THE GREAT SAVIORS ARE TWISTED TO BECOME GREAT DESTROYERS BY EMPIRE.

• "Freedom" is the weapon we use to destroy Iraq
• "Security" is the weapon we use to destroy what is "Right" for US citizens
• "Rule of Law" is the weapon we use to oppress and exploit the poor in the US and worldwide
• "Democracy" is the weapon we use to murder by starvation Cubans and 1 million Iraqi's in the last 15 years, mostly children
• "Christianity" and "Judaism" are the weapons we use to exterminate Palestinians
• "Christianity" is the weapon we use against gays
• Etc.
• Etc.

"TAKE CARE START." ALL PEOPLE BORN AND UNBORN ARE CELLS WITHIN ME.

I've changed. I keep on changing.

I no longer feel confused on the issue of "Start, take care." As recently as 9 months or so ago when there was the occasional, heart felt "Start, take care of yourself," I felt confusion and unease as to how to react and respond.

My view is now so constant, steady, natural and normal (I've reclaimed my / our natural ways of feeling) that the question has no pull on me. I take no offense but the error of the concern is so blatant to me now.

"You are a cell in my body," I comfortably and kindly point out. "So is everyone born and unborn. I AM taking care of myself."

There is nothing more than that. Yes, there are addional considerations and benefits to what I do - experiencing the joy of sharing the emergency of others, being a prayer of sparking a global salvation, etc.

But taking care of the "cells" in my body is enough for me, and therefore it is enough for me to say.

I'll add to such an kind but confused individual well-wisher that like every good soldier I am not suicidal, and not reckless. Rather, I am extremely careful to get maximum impact out of my only weapon - my body.

WE NEED 95% OF THE MILITARY PERSON'S CHARACTER. GANDHI KNEW THIS.

Elsewhere on this site numerous posts cite Gandhi's preference for military men because of the preeminent worth he placed on courage. Also discussed on other posts is the book by John Ruskin, "Unto this Last" that had profound impact on the young Gandhi - highlighting that the mass segment of society could be depended upon for its cowardice and self-serving behavior - the merchant class; US, us.

Where besides the military and among illegal migrant workers can we find high percentages of people exercising civic duty, self sacrifice, humility, service, courage...?

WE CONDEMN OUR "FAMILY" BY SHIRKING WAR'S SACRIFICES.

Not only cowardice but extreme confusion, disinformation, and miseducation are responsible for our complete and utter catatonia in the face of ecocide, police state, US melt-down, unrestrained Empire....

But whatever the reason, has there ever been an adult population that so cowered in their stuff filled little houses while Rome burned?

Who can think that our children's world is not being destroyed as we speak along every dimensional line:

1. Economy
2. Morality
3. Law
4. Community
5. Ecology
6. Safety and security
7. Etc.
8. Etc?

OUR CHILDREN ARE ALREADY DEAD.

I am speaking as a clinician in psychology. I am speaking from our Humanity. You can see it if you love them enough.

Our children are already dead - morally, spiritually, environmentally, ecologically.

What are you going to do about it?

If you cast off the illusion, denial, hypnosis... you can save some of those around you. But you must act now.

HUMANITY'S LAST STAND. NOW OR NEVER.

No, the question is not whether I am certain that in a myriad of forms Armageddon is at hand: Morally, Spiritually, Psycholically, Materially, Economic....

The question is whether this MIGHT BE THE CASE. If yes, what do you do? YOU ACT AS THOUGH LIFE MIGHT DEPEND ON YOU ACTING, right?

IS "PEACE COMMUNITY" LANGUAGE ENTIRELY SELF PROTECTIVE?

Is it just coincidence that there is NOTHING that supports responsibility or accountability?

• No goals
• No metrics
• No timeframes
• No commitments
• Nothing quantifiable
• Nothing absolute
• Nothing empowering
• Nothing measurable
  
• Just blame of others
• Just criticism
• Just words
• Just token deeds

EMPIRE'S CENTURIES LONG WAR ON HUMANITY IS ALL BUT COMPLETE.

For thousands of years the Spirit of Empire has raged virtually unopposed.

What are the physics of this? Well, if a force works for thousands of years toward a goal, eventually it will succeed.

Empire's final extermination of Humanity (Spirit of) is virtually complete.

Care to take a last stand for your children, and their children?

ONE LONE FROG FEELS THE WATER GOING TOWARD BOIL. WHAT DOES SHE DO?

3. They have demonstrations

But the other frogs refuse to jump out (only ONE flew over the kukoo's nest)

2. Maybe a frog followed


3. Maybe a frog followed that one


4. Maybe it became the thing to do

FOOL-FOR-CHRIST

A saint who has the title Fool-for-Christ is one who is known for his

GOODNESS IS CULTIVATED. EVIL IS FORCED.

Hmmm.

I guess I kinda knew this, but I'd forgotten, and maybe it is clearer for me now.

I'm wrestling with how I am to respond to the opportunity our Mother has given me in the form of two upcoming Court appearances.

The fact of these appearances encourages my attention to focus there. It is, and as before I sense this unspeakable, monumental evil in the direction of my focus.

GOODNESS IS CULTIVATED.
EVIL IS FORCED.

Who would treat their "child" the way our courts treat all but the economic elite? NO ONE. And if they did their child would be made evil.

Yes, we all know this. But NONE OF US KNOW THIS.

IF YOU KNOW,

AND YOU DO NOT DO,

YOU DO NOT KNOW.

THE "SON" GIVES LIFE. "BLACK HOLE" TAKES LIFE.

JESUS NON-RESISTANCE: EFFECT ON PILOT?

What was that all about? Jesus did not defend himself. * **

I think I get it now. The Truth before Pilot / the Court was clear, there was no defense necessary. The only reason that Pilot / "the system" wanted defense was to take attention OFF OF THE TRUTH; to further enable AVOIDANCE / IRRESPONSIBILITY.

Jesus realized that it would give Pilot, the onlookers and bystanders a better chance at moral conversion if he did NOT ENABLE THEIR AVOIDANCE / IRRESPONSIBILITY. To return evil with kindness would "heap burning coals upon their heads," it would leave the full weight of their evil undisguised, undistracted from on their heads, and through such a gift by Jesus of Clarity, of Truth Jesus maximized the chances that their Humanity / Conscience would be at some future time awakened.

Yes, this is how to wage UNARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE for the KINDOM.

* Matthew Chapter 5 39 But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.
40 If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well.
41 Should anyone press you into service for one mile, 26 go with him for two miles.
42 Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.
43 27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors 28 do the same?
47 And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? 29
48 So be perfect, 30 just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

** Romans Chapter 12 20 Rather, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."
21 Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.
