***** Another note to my dearest: (detail) "I think I can stand, I think I have no choice but to stand, for Universal Family, or kill me, or torture me. I think I can do that. I think maybe I can hold on to that, and let that hold on to, and to lead, me."
This
felt like a real step forward for me personally, a real liberation. I
am totally overwhelmed by the horrors... every day new ones emerge that I
didn't see, and I thought I'd seen it all. Look to my blog for the
Chris Hedges article today on 'We Kill our Revolutionaries' about the
magnificent young man framed by the US Gov for a murder he didn't
commit... because he was leading fellow prisoners to stand up for their
rights. I can't breathe.
Every minute is a new horror, a new holocaust, in just Palestine. Like yesterday when Israel opened flood gates and flooded already homeless thousands in Palestine from their hovels.
How do I breathe? What do I do? How do I get out of bed? What do I tell others? How do I defend what I do?
I don't know. Tho I'll study every minute I am able, I don't know. I'll never know.
But
when this hit me, an evolution of a similar revelation about 7 years
ago, all of a sudden I felt something I may be able to hold on to, a
lifeboat, right up to the gallows:
"I
think I can stand, I think I have no choice but to stand, for Universal
Family, or kill me, or torture me. I think I can do that. I think
maybe I can hold on to that, and let that hold on to, and to lead, me."
nd. Please be advised, I am getting less tolerant by the minute of people that spew their condemnation of the right, of anyone, no matter how righteous, that are not putting their very lives, resources, time, livelihoods... where there mouths are.

A letter to a JW brother I've corresponded with periodically, and very productively, for 6 years or so now. He and his wife are serving the boat people, refugees in Italy.
I just saw an article briefly about an upcoming conference to reduce the threat
of a nuclear holocaust. I can think of nothing more merciful for humanity now than
a global, thorough, total, nuclear holocaust, extinguishing everyone, everywhere,
instantly. I can't. The near universal, inescapable suffering currently assured for
us is beyond unbearable. (The only 'escape' will be the 'transport,' 'Salvation,' to the
Creator's Kingdom, for those 1 in a million in every faith and no faith at all that
respond to the horror by moving into that part of ourselves which is Universal
Loving - Serving the neediest, from the Soul, in Solidarity. Their material world
will be Hell but their experiential, psychological, Spiritual world will be Heaven,
Joy, Loving, total Peace of Heart.)

Oddly (don't get your hopes up), I spend more time, much more time
defending organized religion than denouncing it these days. Those
against 'religion' are exactly as 'religious' and hateful and dogmatic
and blind... as I find the religionists to be. AND, I am persuaded, if nothing
else, that what is represented in this poll below is essentially and profoundly
correct, that the quality of life among the world's destitute is dramatically
improved by deep participation in organized religion, and why would I
want their lives to be even more miserable?

AND... I can't explain the relatively immense peacefulness, goodness, humanity,
Godliness of the middle east Arabs despite the 70 year reign of US, British, Israeli
terror... except that Islam is a profoundly Humanizing force for them.
I find Islam a major improvement over christianity in that it un-diefies Jesus, returns
him to his Divinity - that he is JUST a man, like you and me, but by embracing and
being embraced by one, simple, total religion, Unconditional Loving, he offered us
Salvation. He offered us the only Revolution that was ever there, and we've used all
of our abilities to do everything and anything but. Instead, as virtually all religions do,
instead of offering us an escape from reality, he offered us the way to embrace and
to be embraced by Ultimate Reality, God, the Creator... Unconditional Loving.
Maybe the greatest 'discovery' of my life was just weeks ago when I saw that Evil,
Satan, the Devil... is CONDITIONAL Loving in whatever form, and that God, the Creator,
Good, the Divine... is UNCONDITIONAL Loving in whatever form. It is that simple.
Full Stop.
Oh, and yes, Recently 'discovering' Chris Hedges is a great gift to me. Yes, I've
known of him for years, but his categorical dismissal of Pr. Obama from
the beginning put me off and I've not been following his work. Chris is
maybe even more scathing than I of the worthless liberals in this
country, and yet he lays every possible shortfall in the Obama admin at
Pr. Obama's feet seemingly oblivious to the fact that with a criminally
do-nothing liberal constituency Pr. Obama is virtually powerless to do
much. Deep sigh. But I still am now finding the deep and broad study
of Chris a Godsend for me right now in my attempts to become less
pitifully unable to help. It is as though my beloved (all of humanity)
was desperately ill (as we are) and I thought I had to do all of the
research to understand the disease. I knew the nature and direction but I
had to devote the impossibly long time to understand the genesis,
development, manifestations, characteristics... and by then, well, it
would be so much later than it is already to try to be a better 'cure'
than I've yet become. He is an impossible, a Divine gift to us, a True
Prophet, if ever there has been one - in breadth,depth, courage,
humanity, courage, Truth, Unconditional Loving.....
I
don't know that I've told you this story before - about 6 weeks ago I
could no longer stand sitting idly by and watching my neighbor, next cot
over in the homeless shelter from me, 53 year old Paul, then in month
10 of looking for work, day in, day out. With a rap sheet as long as
one's arm, minor drug offenses, of which he has been clean since 2001,
and off probation since 2012, and in an economy with less and less jobs,
he gets rejection after rejection after rejection. I have next to no
contacts to help, but there are two christian churches that come in
force every weekend to conduct a service for those who wish to attend,
and feed a nice meal afterward. By the way, JW's never set foot here.
No interest. The devote their time as Jesus NEVER DID to trying to snag
the wealthy, in front of the White House all day, in front of the
Shopping Malls on weekends. (Yes, I'm not happy about this.) I
approached both of these churches, the pastor of one, a deacon of the
other and told them briefly about Paul, how long and hard he has looked
for whatever sh*t demeaning job society would give him, that he gets
nothing but rejection, often because of his 'record,' and that I'm
worried that I'll lose him back into a destructive life-style if
something does not come thru, sooooooon. One of these two men instantly
said, 'Here is my phone number, have him call me. I'll reach out to my
contacts, and try to help.' He has been better than his word, in weekly
contact. BTW, Paul shows zero inclination of attending this man's
church service. The other man, the deacon, said with great enthusiasm
(and all the selfrighteousness of Satan), 'Well, just tell him about
Jesus.' Which man is Christlike?
One
of dozens of reasons I adore Chris Hedges. I've not watched it by the
way, but I expect to, and I've heard him touch on the subject elsewhere:

A note to my dearest, shared with the few others who are, or were,
close to me as well.
This will sound sooooooooooooooo paranoid.
People like me sounded reallllllllllly paranoid:
* Before the crash of 1929(?)
* Before the takeover by Hitler
* Before Nov 1947 when the faux-jews that had been taken
in lovingly by Palestinians showed themselves as the savage
unhuman Raptors they were....
I was pretty bed-ridden all day today with this cold in its
third week, but tonight and the two days prior I've been deeply
studying Chris Hedges, clearly the greatest, most prepared,
most grounded, most trained, most educated, most widely read,
most compassionate, most courageous, most experienced (war
correspondent for the NYT for 15 years during the revolutions in
south american, eastern europe, middle east.....
He made a comment, just a comment, in these hours I've been watching
online, but it hit me like a lightening bolt, the truth, and profound
impact. 'We are headed toward a massive devaluing of the currency,
near certainly, like has happened in the world at other times in
history... where it will take wheelbarrows of money to buy a loaf
of bread.
My point? Keep this possibility in mind. Just keep it in mind. Yes,
if you do, it will worry you and that is a minus, but when it comes, you
will be better psychologically prepared for it.
I suspect what it will mean for you is that you and your extended family
will come physically together and live together and by pooling your
resources, 'survive,' better than most.
You cheat yourself if you do not at least watch the video I sent the other
day, from min 15.30 all to the end, several times if needed, and even
then research further.
I am not chastising you, telling you what to do,
trying to shame you into it.... The chances that within the next 10 years
the middle class ship, ocean liner, you live on does not change hugely
for the negative are very low. I think you are better off facing it now,
than having the entire shock of it come on you all at once.
***** Given the inexpressible, not-to-be-stopped, horror of a 'future' that we are every second allowing to be unleashed on Amerika and the world, THE MOST MORAL ACT I can think of is the responsible attempt to stop the birthing of new children into this soon undeniable, inescapable living Hell. The most IMMORAL, CRUEL, SELFISH, HATEFUL, UNFORGIVABLE act I can think of is to bring a new life into this unfolding HELL. FOR THE SAKE OF THESE UNBORN SOULS... THINK... OF THEM, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM.

NOT to Canada which is just a few years now behind Amerikkka in the race toward Totalitarianism, but to Scandinavia (well, that is if you are Caucasian.)

***** I wish I could find hope in the approach of the Nile project, breaking down the barriers between people, learning the similarities, learning to like them. I wish I could find hope from this approach but I do not. It was the approach that my generation embraced and it has not slowed, it probably has lubricated, our race off the cliff to oblivion. I've spent the last several days studying who I now consider by far the most important prophet on Earth today, Christopher Hedges. For two decades, among other things, he was a war correspondent for The New York Times covering revolutions in Eastern Europe, South America, around the world. He has sacrificed all the trappings of that, leaving the New York Times, so that he could freely write, speak and live the truth. Three things in the many hours I've watched these last several days, come especially to mind regarding the Nile project. 1, to the Sunis and Shia in iraq it was inconceivable that they would never turned on one another. They were friends, they were intermarried. And now they are trying to slaughter 1 another. 2, he observe that the people he has seen lead profound positive change did it not because they thought they should, not because they thought it was a good idea, they did it because they could not do otherwise, by their very constitution, they could not sit by in the face of the evil, they could not fire on innocent people, etcetera. 3, he said you cannot teach morality, you can only live it, and I think, he meant, there by become something that can awake in the same in others, and thereby spread . Now, my point is not to denigrate the nile project. To the degree that people involved are taking extreme personal risk, risking everything, to bring peace through this project, because they find that personally they cannot do otherwise, then it is exactly what Hedges and I have come to understand is required.
