SL's comments on an Eastern Guru to a Peace Vigil Visitor
The video she sent - http://youtu.be/7XfFpgXNZcw
So much is at stake, I'll speak plainly, and clinically.
I watched the first few minutes only, wasn't going to
watch at all cuz I refuse to divert my heart from averting
Global Climate Environmental Genocide, but our
dialog last night was so important I decided to take a
look. If, unlike Gandhi, Jesus, MLK, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Teresa of Calcutta, Wael Ghonim... one believes that
man is subhuman - mind (easily duplicated on computer
now), and flesh, fully common with lower life forms -
then the man in the video would be quite helpful.
If one believes that the purpose of life is pleasure,
getting along, pleasant relations, sex... this man would
be very helpful.
To those few, such as those mentioned above, that
view that man in Heart (by whatever name) this man
is like the Dr., or virtually all psychologists that do the
equivalent of - 'yes, I know that your alcoholism is
giving you headaches, but I know how to dramatically
reduce these, and to make you feel good most of the
time,' thereby normalizing the drinking.
It is such a pity that what I've said above sounds so
moralistic, so judgemental, cuz it is not. It is clinical.
I had a strong hunch, as did Gandhi, Tolstoy, others,
that Jesus was the greatest clinical teacher of how
to regain our clinical humanity, that ever there has been.
But it was nowhere in my mind to live as He taught
and lived, tho King, Gandhi, et al were always very
much in my mind, studies, etc. Well, I Live what they
taught and exemplified now. I BELIEVE NOTHING,
NOTHING, NOTHING MYSTICAL, OF ANY SORT. Your
universe, my universe is your nervous system, and
my nervous system, respectfully. Clinically, our own
nervous system is our Absolute Universe, but one
of many options, one of two primary parallel universes, pretty
much universally exclusive - the Universe of the Flesh,
that to my shock, I now look back on as an EXPERIENTIAL subhuman
Hell, and the Universe of Heart that totally and absolutely
I EXPERIENCE every waking second as Heaven, Nirvana.
I don't chose to EXPERIENCE these two alternate universes
this way, any more that I choose to EXPERIENCE eating
as more positive than starving.
You know by now that in the right circumstance, that is,
when two or more Hearts are open to one another to some
degree, I find words of great value, but less than 10% the value
of Example, and Environment. One can move in the direction
of Heart, from Head / Flesh, through talking, mental discipline
(Gandhi), but it soooooooooooo slow, soooooooo contrived.
For example, one can try to awaken Love (the OPPOSITE of
Lust) within another by talking to them, giving them theories,
practices, disciplines... OR, one can expose them to a baby,
a puppy, etc., or more particularly, a baby, or puppy, or baby
bird... THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS THEIR HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY. My experience and knowledge of things is that
just as with every healthy cell in our bodies, we exist to sense
and respond to (Love) the NEEDS of those around us, and that
introduced into an environment, focused on an environment,
of MASSIVE HUMAN NEEDS is infinitely more likely, sure,
and infinitely FASTER as restoring one to Health / Heart /
Humanity than any and all wonderful Teachings ever.
I've been asked to speak at local DC universities to Peace
classes. After thinking of it I declined. The chance of reaching
Here at the Vigil, a place of OBVIOUS SERVICE/LOVE in
action, is infinitely greater that traveling to some disgustingly
over-privileged university classroom devoid of any signs of
Love where my ONLY tool to help them is words.

only thing." Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Laureate.
