* Teachings of Jesus, a Christ, that are Central for us

The Purpose and Center of Life: Do unto the least of these, ALL that you would have them do unto you. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat... as the totality of your life - BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY OF COMPLETE JOY.

They will know you as my sisters and brothers, by how you Love one another.

There is no greater Love than to lay down your life for the poor, the stranger, the enemy... THIS IS WHAT LOVE DOES. THIS IS WHAT LIFE DOES.

Love as I have Loved.

If you pick up your Cross [Life -Totally Committed Courageous Service] it WILL cost you everything - husband, wife, son, daughter, farms, houses... but IN THIS LIFETIME you will receive 100 fold these in Infinite Riches/Wealth of the Spirit -
1. JOY,
2. LIFE,
3. TOTAL IMMERSION IN LOVE,
4. TOTAL PEACE-OF-HEART.

We ALL have One Father; that makes EVERY HUMAN BEING your Family, NO double standards, GET ON WITH IT; RE-ADOPT THEM IN TRUTH - FOR THE JOY OF IT!

Hypocrisy is the most murderous of errors [the Greek word is "sin"]. Hypocrisy is the [us] ually habitual, chronicperversion, distortion, denial or destruction of Conscience, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. Hypocrisy blinds and destroys Love, Conscience, Compassion, Truth, Humanity within the perpetrator, and the target." Hypocrisy destroys all hope.

If you choose Pleasure you will lose all Joy. If you choose Joy it will transcend all Pleasure.

If you Love me, you will do greater works than these, because I die now, and you can continue to learn and build on what I have taught you.

[also as written of in Tolstoy's "Gospel In Brief" (or THIS "Hapgood" translation here).]

On The Economy

The current economy, its values and basis are intellectually,
and morally bankrupt.

False assumption:  Laws not Love must control transactions.

False assumption:  The "costs" of being my brother's keeper
outweighs the "costs" of blind, impersonal capitalistic relations.

False assumption:  Pleasure is the ultimate reward (from stuff).

False assumption:  Greed is more powerful than Love.

to be continued

On Family

EXACTLY what distinguishes the True, Healthy, Un-Crippled Humans
- Christlikes - from the rest is the issue of Family. For the Healthy - Family is
ALL Humanity born and who are in the future born. TOTALLY. PERIOD. Who
was NOT Gandhi's child? Who would Eleanor Roosevelt NOT put
EVERYTHING on the line for? Who did Jesus Love less than others?....

NO DOUBLE STANDARDS.

ONE FAMILY.

TRIAGE? YES. We are physically limited beings. If we conceive a
child we have a special responsibility to that child. AND MOST SACRED
OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO RAISE THEM AS BROTHER OR
SISTER TO ALL OF THEIR FAMILY BORN AND WHO ARE BORN IN THE FUTURE.

Triage? Yes! Yes, you help someone suffering next door if you can do
so faster and with less resource than by helping someone around the world.
Duh. But the practicality of Love, RATHER THAN the constraining, conditioning
of our Love dictates these agonizing choices, NOT Biology or Familiarity,
or Similarity OR FAVORITISM per se - EVER.

Right?

Our Experts. Our Souces of Truth.

"I will allow just one tyrant in my life, the still small voice within."  Gandhi.  Us too.
