nd.To those few traveling with me: Number one, my comments are never directed at you, although sometimes I think you feel that they are. :-) number two, all of us with hearts, tend to see history, historical figures, as though they knew the outcome beforehand. At least, I think most people do. Rosa Parks fought alone for decades before she's sat on that bus. She didn't know she would win. She didn't know anyone would notice. She knew only that she was going to fight. (Correct, Diane Wilson? :-) )

Friends, please hear me. Immediately, please stop talking directly to trolls, Republicans, climate change deniers, Tea Party... It feeds them and bleeds you. Instead, hear them, Pivott, and address the onlookers in a way appropriate to what this idiot traitor just set up for you. It will shame them, enrage them, and to them and the onlookers it will express you're all important disdain, disgust, and disrespect with what they are doing. Please consider this deeply and implement immediately.

Reporters always ask me if it's true that my activism has disrupted my family. 1. Not one yet has understood that my activism is 100 percent about my family, my biological, and non biological Family, 2. If they understood what activism was, nonviolence soldiering, they would assume it has disrupted the biological family. Every type of soldiering does! ( correction. The writer at the Philadelphia Inquirer years ago understood.) if my answer was no they should know immediately that I was a fraud, an actor, a hypocrite... Yes, a modern-day activist.

I am NO fan of Hamas, and obviously I am no fan of the Satanyahu gov'. And I am morally and STRATEGICALLY against the use of force by Hamas - I think they have the theoretical 'moral' right and international 'legal' right but every rocket they fire, every person they kill is certain of one thing, and one thing only - the brutal death of 100 Palestinians... it IS CRIMANALLY STUPID STUPID CRUEL STUPID STUPID STUPID. (Read Erica Chenoweth's recent studies on the historical stupidity of violent conflict. look for the torrents)

A nice fella, reporter for The Washington Post, just stopped by and we chatted. He is curious about why so few demonstrators seem to be out and he may do a story on that. Once he sees my facebook page and how I am excoriate ing my brothers and sisters in Israel for their savagery I suspect that is the last he and I will speak. :-(

***** Activinos (activists in name only) do infinitely more damage than non activists. [This is going to come out so mean. But I am NOT feeling mean, or intending to be so at all.] Teresa of Calcutta said of the church, ' the greatest obstacle to people becoming Christian are those who preach the gospel but do not practice it.' Gandhi said 'if Christians would practice their Creed there would be no more Hindus.' We instantly see the truth of this, right? But not when it comes to activism, activinos do not see it in themselves. We deny it with all of our might. Maybe you knew what the English translation of the Greek for 'acting' is. I had no idea until a few years ago. Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, in the Greek, means to 'act the part.' Now acting, can be a noble pursuit, right? Unless it is undisclosed acting, acting the part of a brain surgeon, for example. Then, it can be a murderous crime. Activinoism is such a murderous crime. Albert Schweitzer spoke what is probably my favorite quote of all time, 'example is not the major thing in influencing people. It is the only thing.' If activists show that we do not really need to pay a dear price for what we want, that mere 'acting' will suffice, well then, A. Those who are influenced by such activists will do no more then the same, and B. Do you really think that the onlookers, and the opposition, cannot tell the difference between an actor and the real thing? The activino(s) himself has strong motivation to deceive himself. But the onlooker, and the opposition, have ample motivation to see the truth, the hypocrisy, and by gum, they always do!!! They always do. This is the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer. Does anyone today think those folks were acting? It was even immensely difficult, near impossible, for the most evil opposition, or the most cowardly onlooker, to think that those folks were acting back then. Why? Because what an activist does, what a true activist always always always always does, is offer to pay, in unmistakable terms, an ungodly price, and sometimes, unflinchingly, unfailingly, willingly pay the price if it is demanded. Watch Freedom Riders. Watch Gandhi. Watch Iron Jawed Angels. Watch Malala. Watch Diane Wilson in the mini documentary Texas Gold on Hulu and YouTube ( where I pirated it and put it up years ago). Oh, and by the way, if you watch or deeply ponder any of those folks, ask yourself this question: yes, as true activists, they pay an ungodly price, but would they rather be acting? :-) . LOL. Activism is just another word for loving, for serving the from the soul in solidarity with the neediest. This is the ONLY physiological source for joy, for the generation of joy for oneself. And it is generated with every breath for the true activist regardless of the material hell they invariably bring upon herself. Why else would folks like Jesus do what they do? They are simply the enlightened greedy, and if there is to be a future for creation it is long past time to learn to follow their example, greedily. Gandhi did not say 'act,' or preach of, or demand.... the change you wish to see in the world. He said 'be the change you wish to see in the world.' Be the change you wish to see in the world. It is the joy, the only joy, that surpasses all understanding.

HEAD SPINNING - AWAKE ALL LAST NIGHT... IF THE LAPTOP GETS REPAIRED... (details)

If funds are forthcoming to repair my laptop destroyed by a clinically deranged homeless guy 3 weeks ago ... 

I lay awake ALL NIGHT LONG last night, my head spinning... !!!!!!!!!!.... it will enable me to resume what I've not done in 2 years now - a all day stake out of Capitol Hill where the congress folks walk by, within inches... to get to the capitol... with my solar panel, SOLAR PANEL... driving the laptop all day long - that visual at some level would be powerfully in-your-face to the deniers, and could be used by the good-folks in congress. Oh well, whatever the Creator wants. (((HUGS))) to you both.  And when congress is gone for summer break... I expect to continue - where the major tourist groups are... close to 7 days per week... all day... dawn to dark... this guy with the Jesus / Universal Family / Christlike / Jesus (huge black and white letters) sitting with his solar panel, working on laptop (and online if somehow the wifi funds materialize... 30-60/month).  PROOF OF A FUTURE, THE FUTURE... RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES... Lincoln Memorial... Capitol Hill, Washington Monument... Jefferson Memorial... White House.....   OMG.  (Hey, Creator, Father, please get off your butt and make this happen?)

BTW, my paypal MAY work, if any funds are forthcoming. It would be worth a try. I had a tiny balance on this account I used once years ago... and it let me transfer that to my checking account. It would NOT let me transfer out from my checking account 2 weeks ago to that needy 'sister' in NJ, but it may well allow transfer in. Just in case.  

My beloved upstate 'Sister' Kathy Green, well, takes my breath away:


Ok kids ... Red tail hawk painting... I am going to auction it off to help the cause and James Mcginley!
Start bidding!!! Auction ends on Friday and it will go to the highest bidder! It's acrylic on canvas 16x20
Start your bidding!!! I will ship it for free anyplace in the America !
Again this is the man who we a need out there everyday! Please help us help him! Bid on the painting ! Or just donate! Our goal is small to some.. Big to others.. $330!

I finally heard from Dell, $330 to replace the motherboard in my computer. To buy a comparable machine, refurbished, would be over $800 from Dell. (see link) Argh. So, if I can come up with $330, that's the responsible choice. From the time of receipt by Dell at their repair depot, last Wednesday, I have 5 days to tell them - that is tomorrow afternoon deadline. If any souls wish to contribute toward this repair fee, now would be a good time to let me know. ZERO EXPECTATIONS. I AM UNWILLING TO ACCEPT ANY FUNDS THAT WOULD 'HURT' THE DONOR. But if any can afford to contribute, and feel compelled to.... If I am able to replace the computer, that leaves one other item in my work that needs support - monthly wifi of between $30 and $60 per month. Anyone that feels compelled to support my work in this way.... (((HUGS))) no matter what (ZERO Expectations. Just sayin)

Note to someone immeasureably dear in my earlier life

Hi. I think of you often, often... too.
 
We are in such different worlds... and I'm moving faster
and deeper into mine - 100% solidarity with our global neediest,
and away from, and against, Elysianism, that cancer that
kills all within it, and now everything else as well.
 
I'm not making a point to you - I'm sharing what I'm more
deeply aware of every day. 
 
I've joined another guy in voluntarily
doing the laundry for the 225 men, my family,
on my floor every day.
 
Using headphones while I wash and fold (9 hrs yesterday), 
I listen to / 'read' books - Eliz Warren,
Manfred Max-Neef the great Chilean/Berkeley economics
scholar (UN, World Bank) for the poor, Crossan on Jesus, .... 

Oh: Homeless guy in DC, aColgate Univ grad, murdered outside his shelter yesterday http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2014/06/homeless-colgate-u-grad-killed-in-dc.html
 
Nearly ALL the great souls
throughout history have seen that we had a choice - to return
to the profoundly egalitarian culture of pre-agriculture to live
in Love, Compassion, Harmony, SOLIDARITY... or we
could collectively and individually destroy ourselves by
living in ever more vicious competition, GREED (competition),
Elysianism, and of course, more fiercely every day we Elysians choose
Greed (denying to ourselves brilliantly and completely  that we are doing
any such thing).
 
As I've written recently, SOLIDARITY, Lived, 100% solidarity
of, by, for, and WITH the neediest is Loving, IS the ONLY True
Revolution that has ever been available to humanity to pull
out of it's orgy of needless suffering, meaninglessness, pain... and now
planet-wide extinction.  I continue to stumble blindly, poorly,
gratefully, JOYFULLY.. in that direction... 100% Lived Solidarity,
and away from the world you knew me in.
 
That will never affect one iota my Loving of you... nothing can.
But it is important for you to try and understand, and being as
amazingly smart as you are.. I think you do to an amazing degree.
 
I'm typing now from a computer in the Library of Congress.
It is not a bad hike from the shelter, tho it seems a bit long now seeing
as my hip seems to have dislocated 3 days ago. 
 
I don't know what I'll do regarding replacing the computer.  I had
the funds until yesterday when I mailed most of them to someone
I knew in high school (tho I can't remember her or nearly anyone... from HS)
who works her butt off, has had lots of hard knocks in life... and
is on the verge of losing her apt and truck that she uses in her
antiques, etc, business out of NJ.
 
I have ZERO support for my efforts, for my work... and it is for that
and that only that I could accept or use funds to replace it.  I am
way past the time of accepting resources for me - I've used up
a million times more than my share.  2 homeless guys (dozens
were horrified to see my laptop destroyed) independently offered
to replace it for me; and a pastor that ministers every Sat nite
at the shelter (a deeply Godly man) offered too.  I refused these
kind offers on the basis I said - I can accept nothing... only my
work - that has ZERO support or traction.
 
There is 1 year left on the warrant of that laptop.. but the damage
is near-certainly not covered by that warranty. Yesterday I sent it back
(wasted 10 days with FedEx fumbling the handoff of the depot
box) to Dell.  By week's end I should know the Creator's verdict.
 
(((((HUGS))))) forever, no matter what

Loving update: My Family here in the shelter

I like the fellows here, 225 or so, as much or more than any group I've ever
been associated with.  These are the guys that unlike me who was born
2' from the Finish line, with armies of folks to get me over before anyone else...
they were born 100 miles behind the Finish line, with a lifelong gauntlet of abuse,
violence, hatred, bigotry, neglect, poverty, starvation.... that they've made it
through, unlike most.  They are tough guys with a 5 word vocabulary each - Mother F'r,
N*gger, and an unpredictable last 2 words to round it out... but they are sooo
real.  We aren't buddies, we don't chat, but I Love them, and I am constantly
amazed at the decency and basic respect they show me, an over privileged
white guy with tattoos on his face... with few exceptions.

Yes, I turned them down. I cannot accept support of me anymore (in such a needy world, I do don't matter). If anything mattered it would be my work, we destitute, but only d places any value on that; well, d and me. TWO HOMELESS PEOPLE OFFERED TO REPLACE MY COMPUTER TODAY... 'GIFTS,' THEY SAID. I'VE DONE NOTHING FOR THESE PEOPLE. WE BARELY HAVE EVER TALKED. THEY KNOW NOTHING OF MY WORK.

***** It troubles me that among our few healthiest (activists) they so often gravitate toward 'symbolic' actions. I think this is profoundly well intended... and a deeply sad error, soon species-terminal error, of zero hope... from some of the only folks who could be hope to the future. I find no where in Life that a healthy, Godly, adaptive life-form every acts in a fundamentally 'symbolic' way. Of course, symbols are used and presented, but never as an end, by True Life.

I remember about 7 years ago, at a Catholic Worker house attending an evening with someone I saw as an immensely heroic, unimaginably courageous... elderly activist (his name escapes me).  I was deeply moved by his talk, but also concerned - 'symbolic action' was so central to what he was saying (I forget how many years or decades he had spent in prison), I couldn't believe I was understanding this aspect correctly.  So I asked him, afterward, 'Father, I mean, we, the forces of Light, are supposed to fight (unviolently) to 'win,' correct???'  He didn't miss a beat - "No,": was his unequivocal answer.  I think there are few True activists today that disagree with him in their hearts - I don't know how to understand their actions any other way, regardless of how self-sacrificial (paying the price) they may be.

I've done much study since then... Jesus fought to win.  We are supposed to be fighting, in Love, unviolently... to win.  Life fights to win - this is the Truth - it fights for the proliferation of ALL constructive Life and Life Forms.  IT DOES - THIS IS WHAT CREATION DOES.  Any and all deviation from this is Error, Sin, and now... DOOM, unless.... 

ps.  Life, adaptive, creative Life that fights for Life to Win... WILL PREVAIL IN THE END....  This is a fact.  The question is whether any but .00001% of all current species on earth, and the species homo sapiens... will be among the survivors... and the current Truth is, almost certainly not.  (To Linda LeTendre, thanks for the inspiration.)

***** I've just completed Ashley Montagues, 'Darwin, competition and cooperation.' It may come to pass that more evil has been done by this well intentioned man Darwin, through his profoundly incomplete theory, then by all of history's Hitler's combined. His theory is utterly correct and brilliant for the life form that is cancer - that form of life that is blind to all to future generations, including its own, insanely obsessed with its own immediate growth and satisfaction. Put forth by Darwin honestly and even brilliantly this Deathly incomplete theory has been and is gasoline poured on the blazing insanity of yesterday's and today's sociopaths. Exactly as seen in the human body, ferocious, 100 percent, devoted, self sacrificial, cooperation and equality of all members are the features of all adaptive life forms, species. 'Survival of the fittest' is the feature of terminal cancer.

***** I am under deadly attack. (detail). The top 20 percent in this country, be it out of malice or mere blinding greed, are more and more stomping the life out of we destitute, around the world forever, and now here at home. Look around you and you will see that this is objectively, factually, undeniably true. We are not people to them, we are multicolored trash. You are under exactly the same attack. You just refuse to see it. If you remain in denial just a few more years, when you awaken it will be too late to save yourselves, and for your children and all creation a non horrible future will be out of the question.

* I am under deadly attack. The top 20 percent in this country, be it out of malice or mere blinding greed, are more and more stomping the life out of we destitute, around the world forever, and now here at home.

------------Loving, Who precisely are the 20% and what are they doing that I can influence ... I don't "refuse to see it" but am perhaps unaware. BTW, Rex was served last Friday so he has until next Friday to reply to my petition. Doing what I know best. What else do you suggest?

Today I sent a small claim petition to the Denton County Justice of the Peace. T...he sole purpose of the petition is to trigger a conversation. My goal is to meet and talk, relying the petition content to guide a transparent discussion.


------------DG, for me it is only within the last two weeks that this understanding above has taken a quantum leap within me and lodged deep in my being (I hope.)  About 30 years ago, as you know better than I I suspect, some MIT professors(?) published, "Limits to Growth," and last year or so published an update confirming their findings that - we were (and at an accelerating rate continue) raping and plundering ourselves out of existence. They were showing us that on earth life had become a zero sum game - unless everyone lived according to their need, instead of to their greed (taking more than their global share), we were consuming ourselves QUICKLY, IMMINENTLY, out of existence.  AT LEAST the top 20% economically in the US (and other Developed countries now) are consuming at 10's to 1000's of times our share (as I did my first 50 years or so).  AT LEAST the top 20% economically, and possibly the top 60-80% (lower middle class and up).  Earth is headed, as you know, quickly, toward 10 billion people.  At the consumption of folks in India this can be sustained!  At the consumption of Americans... earth can only support 2 billion people - TOTAL (we're currently over 7 billion).  EVERYTHING... ANYONE... CONSUMES MORE THAN THEIR GLOBAL SHARE - IS STARVATION TO 5 TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE -  IT IS MURDER, and now, not just of we humans, and we destitute masses of the world... but to all of earthly Creation.

***** FB Dialog. detail. "James, I met you about 3 1/2 years ago on my senior trip to DC... You are still an inspiration to me..." (detail)

C May 17:  James, I met you about 3 1/2 years ago on my senior trip to DC. I doubt you remember me, because undoubtedly you meet countless number of youths. I have tagged a picture of you from all those years ago. I am wearing a white button down shirt. But I just wanted to say that I've been keeping up with your cause and posts on Facebook. You are still an inspiration to me. 
I am going to a city not far from you soon, leading a group of students from my Southern state to run a sports camp in a refugee center and volunteer. I believe my group of students and I will be in DC the following Saturday. I would love a chance to introduce you to my students. I hope that you will be as much of an inspiration to them as you have been to me. Do you think this is at all possible? I know you are busy, but if I merit a reply I would be very grateful.

Loving May 20:  C, I am grateful and humbled by your kind note. All of my activism is now indoors, on computer. If you have not carefully followed my recent posts I strongly advise that you do so here http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com and if, after doing so, you still feel that meeting with me would be beneficial for your group, I'd be only too honored and glad to do so.

C: Ok i'll do that and let you know! Thanks for the response!

Loving:  Heart

C:  Some might say (professors and pastors), that you are devoted to a life that is, perhaps, the modern equivalent to a monastic life of the early Christian church. Would you say that A) you are explicitly? and B) you consciously accept a life of poverty to aid and raise awareness to "the least of these" ?
(Sorry if I am being 'pushy.' I am merely attempting to better gage the possible merits that would stem from a conversation.

Loving: In no way do I see you being pushy. I am nothing, explicitly. A life-long skier of the rockies described me as the greatest skier he had ever seen - me a guy from NJ. I was basically self taught by the mountains, surrendering my very being to learn the Truth of what was needed of me. What I do now is the same, to try and surrender my very Being to become of as much service to humanity, to the destitute in our family, as possible. You are right to look to the parallels as you did, but they, like me, could often times find no path to follow... and let Truth teach them the path... and so it is with me. I am certainly of they same type as some of them, and they of mine.  There is only one Truth... be it in the external sciences... or the 'science' of our Souls, our psychology, our nervous systems... and the Divine.  So those that are so drawn to the Truth that they'd pay any and all personal price to get near it... find the same Truth, the same Path... and look pretty similar to each other, and to onlookers.


"As to poverty, I've always thought it a horrible, mistaken fetish to seek poverty, no disrespect to anyone. I still feel that. BUT IF ONE SEEKS TO MAKE OF ONE'S VERY BEING - LOVING - WELL, THEN, POVERTY WILL BE THE RESULT, for a host of reasons... just as anyone that seeks to be great at skiing will become extremely supple of body, subservient to the mechanics, the needs of the hill, and the skis....

http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2014/05/loving-update.html

C:  That is a very wise incite; poverty for the sake of poverty being a vice. But poverty as a necessary result of ultimate love, a merit.

Loving:  ... and a devoted skier will suffer much cold, and be subject to extreme risk.. but not because they necessarily seek out or desire either.

... a consequence, a natural and near certain consequence.... and a profound boon. In fact, I think the one and only possible human Revolution is 100% solidarity with the destitute... and my last 8 months study of the most objective Jesus scholarship shows me that this is EXACTLY what his Religion was - 100% solidarity with the destitute, against Elysianism - think of the movie.  And 100% Solidarity means participating 100% in and of the same life - Poverty.  The good Captain, Brother, Mother, Father, Sister... does not abandon their 'family' under any circumstances... ever.  Yes, they may 'run for help,' but only to personally return and race into the disaster.  Right?

C:  Exactly.

Loving:  One can only become a master at serving the needs of the skis and mountain ONLY if one totally, 100%, immerses. One can only master serving our destitute family of creation by total immersion - not by reaching occasionally, when safe and convenient... through the bars of the cage.

 
... as we've been tragically taught.  Charity is the deadliest of sins, because it always displaces that which is Virtue - Solidarity - Serving, from the Soul, in Solidarity - Universal Family, Immediate Universal Family... by whatever name, or no name at all.


C:  I do admire your devotion to Jesus and not simply to the religion. I believe there are far too many nominal "christians." I know this because I've worked in youth ministry all over the country, SC, TN, CA... The biggest thing I have noticed with my students in my city (who come from what is called "old city" or "old money") is that their materialistic tendencies often drive them, not their love of Jesus and appreciation to his cause. Is it their fault that they were born into a materialistic, wealthy, achievement based society? No. But sticking to it, unyielding to the mere mention of possibility that they are making idols of their affluence, frightens them.

Loving:  Been there. Done that. Took me 45 years to learn that it was all a lie... and the last 15 years to claw my way back to the Life, the Loving, the 100% Solidarity... into which we are all born.

http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2014/05/loving-update.html

C:  I do believe my students would benefit from meeting with you.


Are you still living in DC?

Loving:  If the Creator took mercy on me and asked me the one thing I would have Her/Him/It do...it could well be that I would have every nominal christian realize that it was not "a Christian" that they wanted to be, but rather to BE CHRISTLIKE, CHRISTLIKENESS... WAS WHAT 100% OF THEIR BEING WOULD BE DEVOTED TO. I will never be a Christian... it has proven by scholarship and 2000 years of failure to NOT be Jesus religion. Jesus Religion by whatever name was Christlikeness, BEING LOVING, UNIVERSAL FAMILY, by whatever name, or no name at all. This is our only prayer now. These are objectively the end times. Unless we bring His culture, His ECONOMY of 100% LIVED DEVOTION, SOLIDARTY, TO AND WITH THE LEAST OF THESE - WELL, I'D RATHER NEVER HAVE BEEN BORN, THAN TO BE YOUR YOUNG STUDENTS, OR THEIR CHILDREN - with the planet in final death writhings that are the certain consequence of paying lip service to Jesus economy for so long.

Jesus' Economy

... one final link - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2014/05/loving-update.html

C:  Amen. The trouble is, it is not only the least of these that need Jesus. The affluent and pious and arrogant and materialist need him just as badly. I am having the trouble of "becoming all things to all people" so that they might be saved. I am having trouble discerning what it looks like to, like the apostle paul, when he says in 1 corinthians 9: 19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings."

Loving: 
Solidarity a way of life.

Brother, I profoundly disagree, yet I take no offense at what you've said, and you must take no offense from what I say, and you must not think I'm telling you what to think or say... I'm sharing what has become clear to me. My Religion by whatever name is Christlikeness, NOT Christianity. There are many great physicists.... but only one Einstein, so far. Paul had much good to say, and much profound error written in his name by others. No, Jesus words - that 40% subset of the words and teachings and actions in the bible that the most objective scholarship says He Actually said... not the 60% put in his mouth by others, for whatever good reasons, no matter how wise. 



Jesus life and example are the best Teachings of the Truth I've found... AND HIS BEST SERVICE TO THE POWERFUL, THE WEALTY, THE EMPORERS, THE PRINCES OF THE SYNAGOGUE... WAS TO IGNORE THEM... AND TO LEAD THEM TO THE ONLY REASON ANY OF US ARE HERE... TO 100% SOLIDARITY WITH THE MOST DESTITUTE... THAT WE ALL MIGHT FIND AS MUCH JOY, AND REDUCTION OF SUFFERING, AS POSSIBLE... AND MOST OF ALL - LOVING.
You made my way of life a hobby.

C:  I don't find that offensive at all. I welcome discussion and opposing/different views. It is how we grow as human: conflict.
That being said, would you be willing to meet with them if I deem it wise? If, either you or myself, think it would be prudent to avoid the meeting with the students, I would still love to see you when I can.

Loving: If I were a master Medical Doctor.. and I had a multi background team of interns, a variety of motivations among them... how do I best 'teach,' lead them? Maybe by leading them to the neediest cases... so powerful, that it cries out to their very soul... and that experience becomes their teacher? THIS is what Jesus did. Historically he probably NEVER ministered to anyone but the destitute.  Doing so was Paul's lack of faith, vision, wisdom... error.

And what then of those med students that shied away from the blood, carnage, pain, suffering...?  Jesus did NOT follow after the Rich Young Man.  Nor would the med doctor go and coddle the reticent med students.  Any such student would show then and there that at that moment, they really didn't want the life of the MD as much as they thought they would... and any further coddling of them would be a profound disservice to them... and to their prospective patients.  "The gate is narrow, and few shall enter in, [EVER].'  For the MD, for the person of Christ, to stand and coddle the reticent student... while the destitute are writhing in need... IS TO DAMN THE STUDENT... because it communicates from the teacher to the student a TOTAL REVERSAL, PERVERSION, OF THE CREATOR'S PRIORITIES... it confirms the mistaken notion of the "Rich Young Men" of the world that lif is for their pleasure, rather than the Truth - that the Only Heaven is the Heaven of Living the Family Emergency Response - Loving, with each breath, in Service... the most destitute we can possibly reach, and serve... in each and every moment.  Is this not exactly what Jesus did?  Did He not say, "Love as I have loved?"  Did He stutter?  Did he leave off - 'when it suits your fancy, convenience...?  No.

This has been a Godly dialog. I leave it to you. If based on what we've said, what you've seen at my site... the future... you wish to meet, I'm sure I would find it a great Joy, and if not, your brother I will always be, unconditionally.

C:  That means a great deal. Really. Unconditional, agape, hessed love is truly glorious to behold.


Loving:  Loving is the only Blessing, the Only Reward, the Only Heaven... all else is worthless rags, in my Heart... how long I was in the desert, and did not see.

 
Yes, Agape.

C:  Before I leave, may I ask your thoughts on Jesus' encounter with "the rich, young ruler"? In regards to your last statement, it seems at least once Jesus did attempt to show is way of life to the wealthy.


Loving:  I could almost weep that you brought that up. It was much on my mind just a day or so ago; and it has been over the last 15 on and off. About 14 years ago I was still in a $500,000 house in a wealthy Phila suburb, but moving out of my $300k per year exec position in industry into serving my needy 'family,' and in a masters of counseling program. I saw announcement of a weekend seminar at a bapist church in town, "Grace and Addiction," David Hilficker, and living saint, conducting it. Quite the scholar this MD to the homeless in DC... He emphatically made the point that that scripture is the most written of in all history of the NT... to make known absolutely that JESUS DID NOT MEAN THAT TO APPLY TO ALL OF US. To answer your question, IT IS AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY TO ME, BASED ON WHAT LIFE, ERROR, SUCCESS AND STUDY HAVE TAUGHT ME - THAT STORY IS EXACTLY WHAT JESUS MEANT FOR US TO DO. IT IS EXACTLY AND PRECISELY WHAT JESUS MEANT AS THE ENCAPSULATION OF WHAT LOVING IS - WHAT BEING LOVING IS, DOES, WITH CERTAINTY. Agape can do no less. Agape can STAND DOING NO LESS. Agape is UNIVERSAL FAMILY - when part of your family is destitute... you sell everything and give it to them!!!!!!!!!! This is what Loving does! If it does NOT do that, it is NOT LOVING. Objectively, JESUS 'SOLD' EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS, EVERY BREATH... AND GAVE IT TO THE DESTITUTE, NOT THE POOR, NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS (REALLY WASN'T ANY), NOT THE 1%... TO THE DESTITUTE BECAUSE A. That is what the destitute needed from him; and B. THAT IS WHAT THE RICH NEEDED FROM HIM!!!!!! "Example is not the major thing in influencing people... it is the only thing;" Albert Schweitzer.   The scholarship I find serious... indicates that Jesus, unlike Paul and others... 100% of His ministry, and that of those directed by Him, was to the destitute little 8-20 person hamlets of the area - not the towns, or cities, where those of any wealth lived.  So to me it is clear that His encounter with the Rich Young Ruler was not sought out by Jesus, a chance encounter on a local trade route maybe... AND, JESUS DID NOT PURSUE THE RULER UPON REJECTION.  He may have wept, probably did... but He did NOT pursue Him.  He continued his ministry to the poor, and thereby, His CLEAR LEADERSHIP TO ALL OF US... THAT WE WERE TO DO LIKEWISE; anything else by a Christlike being a deadly miscommunication, deadly disservice... to the wealthy; and with that, we have the last 2000 years of failure, abomination - a Christianity that is the exact opposite of what Jesus died to give us.

... one caveat... to an earlier point - as it is a fetish, error, sin... to pursue poverty for oneself in life... it is an error, sin, mistake... to 'sell all you have and give it to the poor,' with that being the cerebral, follow the instructions... goal.  In skiing it is an evil to pursue dangerous falls. However, dangerous falls are a marker - if you are not having some... YOU ARE NOT ON THE PATH TO BECOMING A GREAT SKIIER. IF you find that you are not moving in the direction of, and finally completing, ultimately giving all that you have and all that you are to the most destitute you can reach, it is an absolute marker that you are not Christlike, not becoming Christlike... not following, not JOINING.... Jesus. It is what Jesus did.  IT IS WHAT ALL OF HIS IMMEDIATE APPOSTLES DID.   It is what Loving does. 'LOVE AS I HAVE LOVED,' He said.

C:  You raise great points and have undoubtedly given many years to pondering what it means to be a true imitator of Jesus. Thank you for all you are. Little things like taking time to message me back are very large indicators that you live what you preach. I thank you for that.

Loving:  The Joy is all mine. I've found you to be Truth-seeking. "Truth is God," Gandhi rightly said... and I pursue God, the Creator, Loving... with every breath, for the ultimate Greedy Joy of it - the Heaven of it - there is none other.

C:  Also, where are you residing now, so that I can determine if I will be able to say hello.

Loving: Everything I've shared with you, and the only things I EVER share, are some of the steps on the path from Hell on earth to Heaven in this life... that I've had to learn, teach myself, discover... to do so. It is my joy, my mission, my purpose, my reason for being to share this, and my agony that with it I make so little difference, and reach so few.

I reside in the 750 person CCNV homeless shelter at 2nd and D NW in DC, but they allow no visitors there... we could meet any number of places near or far at your convenience or mine.

C: OK I would very much like that. I will write you later in the week to discuss when and where. I do know that I will have half a day off in DC on Saturday, the 31st.
and you your last statement about reaching few people, well if my meager praises can be of any encouragement, I have told many people of you, both the impact you've had on my life by following some of your work, and the impact and cause that you so bodily stand for. If one man, any number of "one man," Ghandi, MLK, Jesus, can leaving lasting, impactful legacy, I believe you will. Flattery is not my strong suit. I am not "blowing sunshine up your skirt," as they say. But I am simply letting you know that I believe you have, can, are, and will impact many more people than you can know.
I know that does not sound like much coming from someone as insignificant as me, but I felt as though I should express some of my gratitude, even in so minuscule a dose as that.

Loving: Well, you've made me cry - a mixture of sadness that I reach almost no one, joy, that I've reached maybe one, a little. ZERO CREDIT TO ME, I'VE BEEN SHOWN THE PATH, NOT MY PATH, THE PATH... THE ONE JESUS TRIED TO GET US ON. NO CREDIT TO ME. BUT I SEE FEW, FEWER THAN 10... THAT ALSO HAVE FOUND IT, AND PROBABLY FEWER THAN THAT... NO DISCREDIT TO ANYONE. (Hard to type here through these stinging tears). And we're out of time. This is what I feel. This is what Jesus felt - the same. All I can do is Try, with EVERY BREATH... and that I shall continue to do, with every breath I'm given of this Life Sentence I am serving in this Hell of Godlessness, Lovelessness, we've made. My personal wish was that the Creator let last years cancer take me, but it was not Her wish, it seems, so here I am, serving out my time. I was given the choice, and I chose service over my personal wish to be relieved of duty. I'd have it no other way. Your note means a great deal to me.

This has been a Divine exchange. I will post it soon and make it anonymous... but we covered many important points. Your identity will be entirely disguised... I'll post it on FB and my blog, and provide you the links... Creator willing.


C: Well, then you truly do manifest what it means to "live is christ and die is gain." I was unaware of the cancer that had plagued you. If you wouldn't mind, I would your blessing in praying for you.
As I also wish that you, too, will keep me in your prayers, that the creator will guide me and that I may find strength enough to live as Jesus, not only by what I say, but also by what I do.
I would love you to do so. I would love to read of it.

Loving:  I am honored and blest by your desire, but sort of, you are asking what I want - I want you to BE a Prayer for me to be as full an instrument of the Creator's Will as Possible, and I will endeavor to Be such a Prayer for you.

C:  Thank you again for clarifying and discerning wisdom. I look forward to reading your posts, and further still to a hopeful meeting in person.


Loving:  This exchange was an immense Blessing for me.
