My computer was destroyed yesterday by a deranged fellow here in the shelter who poured a large cup of coffee into it while I was in the bathroom. I do not expect to try and replace it. I cannot justify the expense based on the 0 good my efforts have made so far.

Loving, here. A "Marines" shirt I proudly wear now
The court houses are 1.5 blocks up, and during the week, I've become appropriately comfortable with using one of their many rest rooms as a lav, and even to do some discrete washing up - shirt, hair, undershorts.... but not pants. And the jeans I've been wearing 24/7 for 3 months now are well, yeah....
P____, a 25 year old ex Marine, now in the Secret Service, introduced himself a week ago. He's from the upper South, adores his dad, a carpenter, horrified at what nothing's his contemporaries back home are, either sized me up quick as a citizen of courage, decency, commitment, heard it from others in the service, or both. Probably both. Last night he brought an old pair of his jeans that to his inquiry last week I said I could use, and totally unexpected, his Marine's shirt, that now I proudly wear; his having spotted my most treasured possession, my Marine belt warn in several mideast tours, green, elite Marines, given me by K____, Secret Service, several years ago, easily one of the relationships I most in my life treasure. "Give me a military man to fight alongside any day. Don't give me any cowards." Gandhi.
Since day 1, the one and only group that has respected deeply me and my courage, and unviolent warfare is the Secret Service. We aren't pals. They are professionals. I'm a professional. But the deep mutual love and respect is an extraordinary, shockingly unexpected privilege for me, year, after year.... They worry, fret, watch over me more than you do [a note to a dear friend]. Oh, sure, Embassy is their responsibility, they don't want a corpse on their beat.... But it is way more than that. A. These are our citizens that have sworn to take a bullet for the president. B. They are people of courage and they recognize and revere others of courage, discipline, duty, commitment, cause, seriousness of purpose.... And, small c. More and more they are 'getting' that tragically, I know what the frick I'm talking about regarding the Hell that all the little one's in their lives, and their fellows in arms, face, if we don't stop this criminal use of carbon fuels.
I wear what, Love, the Creator, has given me -
Belt -K, Secret service; Shirt - P, Secret Service;
Pants - Secret Service; Boots - M, Secret Service;
sleeping bag - 32 Yr Peace Vigil Thomas wife Ellen;
umbarella - woman smart enough to divorce me after 50 years;
sandals, backpack... - kids of the nurse/Guardian Angel that numerous times has kept me literally alive thru my campaigns these last 11 years;
rain cape - local museum worker that is grateful for my work....
Oh, and from the local, national anti-global warming and activist communities? I wear, uh, scorn, ridicule, rumor, gossip, innuendo, slander, lies, hostility, fear, shunning, wish for my quiet death? No, this is the Truth. A dwindling few in Occupy being the stunning, hopeful exception.
BTW, the storm last night -
It was a tsunami of Wind, a Wall of wind. I've never seen anything like it. I'd expected to weather it on the sidewalk, by my suitcase, in my makeshift garbage bag / sleeping bag / blue tarp contraption, but the wind was too horrible, throwing big stuff like matchsticks, that I thought better of it and ran with my sleeping stuff up to the top of the Can Emb stairs, and watched it go thru for an hour. Micro-burst? Near-tornado? Was sure my suitcase, that I left, was gone for sure. It stayed. Seems the Creator wants me here, for now.
However, next time I'm more likely to weather it on the sidewalk. Awesome for the cause if my head were bashed in by a flying whatever, in front of the Can Emb, because of our pouring warmth in to the atmosphere. Damn useful press it would be.
Huh. Who woulda thunk? If you put heat under a pan of still water, it, uh, begins to churn, furiously. Huh. Who wudda thunk that if you did the same thing to an ocean of relatively mind air pouring warming gas into it, it would do the same thing?

Death Fast Restart - My deepest condolences to the few to travel close to me
To you few that have courageously stood so close with me, for so long,
Maybe a week or two ago I saw, really for the first time, sadly I didn't forsee as I could have, that you few would bear the brunt of the attacks on me and on my work, for two reasons - 1. You have contact with a wider circle than I, and B. I being the author of this venture, as you will be the author of others, have the most authoritative, and therefore, defensible view of it; and I'm a lifelong practitioner and survivor, veteran of exactly such ventures.

I being the author of this venture, as you will be the author of others, have the most authoritative, and therefore, defensible view of it; and I'm a lifelong practitioner and survivor, veteran of exactly such ventures.
I write the same, again, to you few, now, again, the only ones stupid enough, wise enough, Godless enough, Godly enough, ... ![=)) rolling on the floor](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tHNiql4-ZprgczbYKZvaE8M5zO8AgZ13IcmAirkJ1bXnXabFmhZaxF_X6UN0BVC4woEKEXVd8c9CFHEIATV4VYLrxrJ2xJdhpFa7N_kMPLjWzFCIUGZW6Hx447=s0-d)
to have stood so close to me for so long. Yes, I'll set myself up yet again, Jesus knew what he was in for. The Apostles, Peter especially, just couldn't, and didn't, and yet it is Peter that was most taunted and tortured - 'Weren 't you with the Nazareen?' Terrifying him. Traumatizing him.
And now, with the prospect of Loving 'reneging' on dying just yet, oh what ridicule, taunts, pressures, negative splash back you will suffer, to your face, and behind your backs, do to having associated with me with such Faith, Grace, Wisdom and Courage for so long.
My only regret, for my person, is that this is NOT the time, may not be the time, for me to complete the Death Fast. Oh how I wish it were. I've written to you of my major 2 miscalculations, the 2 major issues I didn't understand, until this point. The death fast IS the correct weapon, and until we use it, until the conditions are right to use it, there will be no hope. But, 1. with I being the only one to have mastered it, and the only one having mastered, or even interested in mastering the 105 Characterisics, and 2. with no hint of 10, let alone 1000 to pick up the instructions, characteristics, the training, the elite forces recruiting... this may not yet be the time for my exit. NUMBERS MATTER. The True, Useful, Potent million is EASY, after the 1000 INSHE Warriors are recruited and trained, the task of Jesus not yet achieved 2000 years later. Oh, millions are already on the field, and have been for 15 years on the issue of averting environmental Armageddon, and will be for 15 or 45 more, but not the Bangladeshi's; and the millions currently on the field will weep crocodile tears for the Bangledeshi's, but the Bangledishi's will fricking die in the tears of those impotent, cowardly, self deluding, disgustingly removed and overprivileged millions, exactly the type of crap Jesus died to save the Bangledishi's, and the rest of us from, 2000 years ago.
The next generation bunker buster is being prepared, developed, brought to the world for completion and use by a specific first date. Will it be used on that date? No one knows. Will it ever be used? No one knows. When it is tested, the fact of that test, may be enough to dissuade Iran from continuing the same game of 'chicken' that didn't work out real well for the Iraqis. From the perspective of the war that the US may fight, does it make sense to have announced the next generation bunker buster, begun construction of it, with furious speed so that it be ready to use in time? Even though no one knows if it ever will be used? Yes.
I say all this in hindsight. It never in my wildest dreams occurred to me that I might be delaying, for 6 months, or forever the use of this weapon, personally. As I've written many times, I totally don't 'get' Gandhi's Oaths, Swearing's.... Oh, I 'get' them tactically, but not Righteously. Except in the rarest of strategic circumstances, the duty of a Warrior is not to carry through on a strategy, but to win the objective. And so it always will be with me.
Never in my wildest dreams did I envision any changes, in me, or in the battlefield, unfolding within my life regarding the Death Fast. Though always I was explicitly open to change. What kind of a cultist, or zealot would I be if I were not? But, partly out of duty to you few, standing as close to me as you have, I've endeavored to clearly discern within and for myself, and then to you, what and why I was contemplating these recent weeks, and days. And, I had as long as a month ago, invited your qualified efforts in any rethinking, an invitation largely ignored, as is entirely appropriate in your best judgement. A few more essays, notes, will come forth to you soon.
Though I share your pain of them (your pain is my pain), I don't regret the position you've put yourselves in, the pressures, strains you'll continue to suffer, even after you detach and distance from me, if and when you do so. "If it doesn't kill you, you grow." I've grown immeasurably, and infinitely faster, because of my relationship with each of you, than I'd ever have grown without, and for that I'll be Eternally Blessed, and Grateful.
And no matter what happens hence forth, I pray you too may be enriched by what association we've had.
More soon.

Comments? Death Fast Restart - The Matrix, not V, is the Analog
Death Fast Restart - The Matrix, not V, is the Analog
Among the few living INSHE warriors, insanely humane unviolent warriors, those living today, there's been a powerful tendency to view the movie V, as the analogous metaphor for many, most of today's social justice issues, from the viewpoint of the most emotional left. And it's been clear to me that's incorrect. We in America are not fundamentally the victims of a plot, anymore than alcoholics in a neighborhood saturated by liquor stores are victims of a plot. Victims of circumstance, yes. But not victims of a plot. It's not a predator, prey situation. It is the dealer – addict situation.
At the time that my nervous system had concluded that devoting my life society's way was insanity, a waking vision, nothing mystical, occurred to me as I looked out over my Boston office campus. That all that I saw, all that I was living was as though an alien race had imposed this on the human species and caused us to view it as optimal, but in fact we were working for their existence and gratification, and to the detriment of our own. Years later the movie the Matrix came out. And since it came out it has been at the forefront of movies that most show us the insanity of our it current choices; though we scrupulously refuse to 'see' what it so clearly shows us about ourselves.
But it was only this morning that an aspect of that movie, Matrix, occurred to me, and it's monumentally important. What occurred to me was that the humanoids in the Matrix, the physical bodies were not victims; they were not captives. They were addicts from birth.
And the crucial implication of this is - is it conceivable that masses of them would want to leave the only life, the only existence that they've ever known? I am unable to conceive of circumstances that could cause that; and if I really push myself it includes centrally the notion of masses of fellow Matrix-ites that have chosen to happily 'recover' from the Matrix, and are somehow unmistakably better off as a consequence.
Those in the Matrix are the quintessential affloholic's.
Alcoholics, only the tiniest proportion never knew existence before alcohol. Most knew life before alcohol, and possibly this is a major advantage in an attempt to return to 'normal.' And yet the recovery rate for the alcoholic is in the neighborhood of 6%, 7%, given the best-known treatment even with that 'advantage' of knowing life before addiction.
What if a child is addicted to alcohol in the womb, and the alcohol continued without ceasing after birth - what if that child never knew existence without alcohol? What would the chance of recovery be? That child was never a human, even physiologically, if a human is that which our DNA would produce. That child was not the product of DNA but a product of DNA plus a toxified, addictive environment.
The direction of this morning's revelations, they take me further down the road that has been unfolding for me in recent years. They represent a heightened clarity; a sharper vision, as it relates to environmental Armageddon, and how Loving's life is to be spent, in the context of that most dire of all looming holocausts. What is there for Loving, the INSHE warrior, to do, when the population has been Affloholic since birth? This is not a human population. It is a humanoid population, but it is not a human population, the last of which may have been my father's generation. I don't know.
At what point does the likelihood of mass cure becomes so low, so remote, that attempting to bring about a mass cure is foolish, the work of a fool? The medical team coming upon a body with absolutely no vital signs - if they make no attempt to revitalize the body, have they accepted defeat? Have they quit? Or simply, are they sane?
A tip of the spear, non-affloholic army would be the only prayer, and the work of forming such an army, the only work.
Death Fast Restart - The two deaths that must be avoided
Death Fast Restart - The two deaths that must be avoided
In each of my last two or three fasts, abstaining from food, the notion that without an army there is no hope has come to the fore, powerfully on numerous occasions, and then receded. It has not receded because I've re-thought the idea. Rather it's been crowded out by other important considerations; and this has occurred without my consciously recognizing or controlling process.
Any and all hope for the human species, on its deathbed, and all life which we humans are on the cusp of irredeemably exterminating; all hope lies in an unviolent army, by whatever name, whether it conceives of itself that way or not, though it would. Not one person, not ten people not 1000 people alone, will change the course of history. So all hope lies in the formation of an INSHE army.
How does one person with this conception best do their part of bringing about such an army? As it relates to averting environmental Armageddon, for Loving, there seem to be three choices: 1. Be what the soldier should be, do what the soldier should do; which is to return to death fast, to restart the death fast. 2. The polar opposite, valid choice for Loving, is to be the best possible Sgt. Foley, the best possible Yoda. 3. Is there a #3? The death fast was premised, per se, on the answer being yes! And, to the degree that it was premised on the idea of blazing the trail, sinking the pilot well, this was the correct option. But subsequent to the death fast starting, among the things that have changed are, a. Loving's view that there are not, anywhere, remotely ready recruits to the army has intensified, sadly; b. the notion that everything depends on the army being formed, has taken yet another leap toward the center of Loving's strategic vision; and c. Loving has developed in his capacity and self-recognition as a Sgt. Foley, among the only (the only?) in significant part through the development of "Resurrecting the INSHE Warrior in You – a Personal Trainer."
The notion of gravity has occurred to me as a concept helpful in grappling with the underlying truth. Gravity like that which can be exerted by the moon. To attract people out of the Matrix - was that most likely to occur if: a. those who first got out – lived nobly and were quickly all killed, and no longer existed any of them, so they were lore, a myth, historical examples; or b. would those in the Matrix best be served if in their time there still were living examples? And that pretty well answers the question doesn't it? Living examples, barring any overriding situational imperative.
So for those outside the Matrix - Neo, Morpheus, the thousands of others, there were two deaths that they owed to the entire human species, two deaths that they owed it to them to avoid: A. the death of their Hearts to the head and the flesh; the death of their humanity, to say the same thing another way. The instant that they, recognized or unrecognized, that they allow that death, no longer were they a counter to entropy. B. Their physical death, because likewise, pretty much the instant that they allowed their physical death their hopefulness to those with pulse in the Matrix all but vanished.
If what's just been said is incorrect, that could be seen in thinking of the INSHE warriors of history. How much did their positive gravity diminish when they died? Clearly it did not diminish entirely. Did it diminish at all, did it increase? Is Dr. King's life an example? It seems that with his death, so too died the true insanely humane warriors that had been fighting alongside him. They became pseudo-warriors, fake warriors.
If the historical record can be trusted, Jesus death had the opposite effect for about 200 years, spawning an INSHE army of thousands, and maybe much more. But he saw initial recruits, if only a dozen or so; and Loving sees maybe one; no disrespect to anyone else.
This is very important to wrestle to the ground, because whether it's the strategy for Loving or some other INSHE warrior, this remains central to strategy. And it seems that both deaths must be avoided at all cost, except that the time and circumstance override - the most specific of circumstances by timing, readiness of others to pick up the work, and thereby, the existence of an army, at least in it's earliest stages of formation.
I've been down this circular road, before, but I experience becoming better at it; learning more each time.
