Nonviolent Revolutionary Behaviors

Given the Adler/Jesus insight that the necessity is to shock the individual and masses out of the "insane" paradigm that all men are enemies, into the "sane" paradagm that all men are brothers - REFUSE TO ACT AS OTHER THAN A BROTHER AND EXPECT NOTHING LESS OF OTHERS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH THE "MAD" DELUSION OF "ENEMY:"

GENERAL GUIDLINES of BROTHERLY BEHAVIOR:

* No surprises - Almost always give clear, advance notice.
* Understandingly accept mistreatment by your "mad" brother out of love as the only hope of curing your brother, and society. Be the "leaves" that make the "wind" visible; your blod will make his/her/their "insanity" [selfishness] visible.
* Repeat
* There is no other way.
* There is no faster way.
* Much less carnage will occur this way. Much carnage, including you and "yours" will occur. Proceed. Take the joy of a mother dying for her child as your supreme blessing.
* Be a perfect (perfectly Loving) sacrifice.

SPECIFIC IDEAS:

* Darfur: A la Greenpeace, place yourself in a boat in front of an Chinese oil tanker; to stop your "brothers" from supporting your "brothers" in the gangrape of your sisters (Pre announce; accept death if that is what is imposed.)
* Darfur: Pre announce that you will violate laws associated with tresspass at the Darfur Embassy. Violate those laws as Announced. Repeat.

In their Soul all men know they are brothers

Save all people on the planet? Spark the paradigm shift that all men are brothers


Adler (& Jesus): The Determining Paradigm is to see all people as Enemy or Brother

The Soul is where Peacemakers must focus

If the Military turned their way of life into ritual and belief, killing would cease

The Chuch of today has unwittingly become the anti-Christ. It has taken what was to be a Religion, a total lifestyle of totally sacraficial Otherishness; and turned it into Ritual, Afterlife oriented "magic," imprisoned it on Sunday morning, and made it into "air freshener" to enable us to stand the stench of our murderous SELFISHNESS. "Nothing is so tempting as evil in the guise of virtue," Dr. Martin Luther King. We use "Christianity" as the garb that enables our culture of selfishness. It was to be the opposite.

We must learn from the Military. Yes, they have ritual and dogma, but they use it in the servide of an all-embracing lifestyle, NOT INSTEAD.

Jesus called us to a radically different way of life - Total Brotherhood at all cost, even at the cost of your life; IMMEDIATELY at the cost of your life if necessary. "Love as I have love," Jesus

"Lusting" got us into this mess. "Loving" is the only way out. Start Loving

Act out of Love, or Pray. Do not act out of selfishness.

Parents. This is where we lose our kids. For 12, 16 or 20 years we have them act out of selfishness. WHAT you say? We do NOT have them act out of love. The environments that have used us are devoid for all intents and purposes of opportunities for children to act out of love.

A friend I used to have told me that the good things about "Catholic" families was that by being so huge it forced everyone to see how they were needed and to act out of love. Well, this makes the point below, however having huge families is a sin in this world of shortages if we are talking "bearing" children. Adoption? GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETTER YET: "AS YOU DO UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE MY FAMILY, YOU DO UNTO ME." BRING YOUR CHILD UP AS ONE, JUST ONE OF YOUR 4 BILLION OTHER CHILDREN - EXACTLY.

But to the point of this post, PARENTS, unless you want to cripple and kill your child's soul, from the time they are born:

* Place them in situations where they are needed (Blessed are the poor)

* Teach them what they, THEY discover that they need. "Mommy, why does the world have homeless? How can I make it stop? " "Well dear, let's teach you to read, and let's read up on that."

Thereby you will give them a life of SERVICE, a life lived from the heart, a life of LOVING.

Repeat.

[There is no other way.]

Jesus leads us literally to a war for global brotherhood

The alternative is Hell, armagedon.

Oh Father. Forgive us.

Please, give us a miracle.

Loving is the highest form of human intelligence. Divine?

Here we can draw not only on Adler but the other greats in the field of Psychology and Sociology:

* Asley Montgue: 'Love is the highest form of human intelligence."
* Abraham Maslow: ' "Being Love" is the state of fully actualized human health. It is somehow the mental complex of Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Wisdom, Dichotomy Transcendance, Simplicity, Playfulness, PERFECTION...."
* Pitirum Sorokin [escaped the Holocaust; founder of the school of Sociology at Harvard]: 'Love is Supraconsciuosness - the seat of all wisdom."
* Etc.

Now, you can see this for yourself. Imagine that the person you love most is tragically injured and you are alone, the only one that can help this friend. What happens? What happens is that every part of your being is harnessed - your highest most holistic intellingence / vision / awareness / wisdom takes over your being and guides you to super human performance.

The Demon, selfishness, is coiled around the heart cholking, staving it.

The only "Demon," "Unclean Spirit" is Selfishness in whatever guise.

David Dellinger is probably the most wise, influential, self-sacrificial activist for peace and justice of the last 100 years in the US. David said of WWII:

"Few chose war. The chose selfishness, and the result was war."

This is hard to see. This is utterly essential to see. Shift your paradigm, before it is too late.

Ritual is a sin and temptation. It removes us from Loving / Serving / Being the Sacrafice.

How can I show you this?

It is Sunday morning, you are in church or at the synagogue on Saturday. You learn that the roof over the children's Religius School just collapsed. You must choose, right?

You must choose how you will live in the face of planet wide suffering:

A. Ritual and Worship;

B. Life of Courageous Sacrifice and Service.

We are finite beings with finite resources and finite time. Every second that you spend on ritual is time you could be lifting rubble off of crushed children.

"They will know you by how you love one another." Military is closest to "Church."

Shame on us.

Our task is to convert the military machine in every respect:

* Communication
* Vision
* Mission
* Recruitment
* Training
* Deployment

The Catholic Workers would be the start but to them, all of this is ritual and symbolism. They do not see the reality of it all. Oh Father.

What would we think about a 2 yr old that hated? "Be like a child...."

Lust, hate, murder, primacy of head over heart, anger at others, the concept of "others".... If your toddler or pre-schooler manifested these features you would think, oh my God, this is not my child! What is wrong!!!!

Is it supposed to change? You know in your Heart it should not. Princeton's Ashley Montague: 'Humans are among the only species characterized by neotenous growth. Unlike almost all creatures where the playfulness, unconditional love for all, joy, wonder, brilliance, flexibility... of the child are not to wither to a rigid adult." Think what we, think what we as slaves to a toxic culture are doing to our children.

We are systematically mutilating our children. The American "way of life" is the most brutal way of death for our children ever to arrive on planet earth.

"Brotherhood" is the only government capable enough

No, this is not the ultimate "idealism." If you've spent time with the more recent posts, and if you have worked hard, you can now see that "Brotherhood" is the ultimate reality, and unless place at the highest priority in our individual lives proliferating "Brotherhood," Life worth living on planet earth is over. It is just a matter of time.

One act of Love can multiply like the "loaves and fishes;" like a "mustard seed."

Infectious. Vicariuos Learning psychologists might say.

Have you seen the old Disney movie "Polyanna?" Captains Courageous? Les Mis? Gandhi? Think of your own, in time.

What did Loving marchers seen on TV spark around the globe during the Civil Rights movement? Etc. Etc. Etc.

Massive, global paradigm shift is what we have to spark.

AS THE NAZI GERMANS WERE "CRAZY" SO ARE WE, ISRAEL AND THE UK

As the Nazi's were mad with selfishness, so are we.

But we are made infinitely more leathal by technology, material wealth, and the communications media.

JESUS CALLS US TO A WAR OF SUFFERING AND DEATH - BUT WE ARE THE ONES THAT SUFFER AND DIE

Total Devotion.

Total Redemption.

JESUS CALLS US TO PERFECT SACRAFICE TO THE BEAST - SELFISHNESS.

We quite literally are called to crucifiction. It will take many, many, many, many before the beast (our selfishness) becomes sick at the sight of itself.

"Love as I have loved... they will persecute [and kill] you," Jesus.

Our Father is Love, and when we surrender to Him/Her, seems like God

Unconditional Love is the highest form of human intelligence.

Imagining One Father of us all is the indespensible means for most or all of us to access and surrender to that Divine Wisdom.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The Nicean "Church" is the anit-Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, things are not that bad. Why then face such a divisive, hurful issues. Come on now. The game of life may already be over. Ask your Heart!

Nicea culminated the greatest sell-out of humanity of all time. It was of the nature of this:

Constantine:

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I've got two religions at war here. Now, you are not going to like this, but I've got to wipe one of them out. Christianity would be my first choice to wipe out because it is Revolutionary. Instead of people being loyal to the State, they are loyal to God / Father of All / Conscience / Brotherly Love For All.... As Emperor, I can't have this. But the concept of Jesus is enormously seductive. Here is the deal. I'll wipe our paganism instead, and I'll give you tons of money for infrastructure, and I'll make you the State Religion:

* But, Living a Christan Life Loyal 24/7 to God ends NOW.
* You get Sunday morning.

Hey, I know you are disappointed. Look at the bright side. By me not wiping you out you can at least preach the Gospel (no, practice ends now). In doing so, maybe a couple of thousand years form now people will once again take the chance to actually live it!

My name is Start Loving. I had been confused.

I've been confused and mislead these last 55 years.

I see now (God's honest truth) that:

* I was born Start Loving. You could see it in every aspect of my being. I Loved Everything. And I evoked in everyone that saw me - Start Loving.
* Unwittingly my parents (my father was a Saint) began mutilating me, whittling my Soul down, helping me learn Conditional Love, etc. The name Jay McGinley went along with that.
* By 25 I was at best a crushed shell of Start Loving.
* 30 years of struggle has enabled me to regain my health; regain my natural healthy being; regain my proper name. I am Start Loving.

You too were born Start Loving. It is not too late for you.

"Mankind... the common welfare is my business," Charles Dickens

Jesus died to give you and me as His present to the world.

We are the Christmas Present. Jesus Gave Us To Serve The World

Fear is a Weapon Selfishness Uses for Enslavement of the Flesh

Otherishness: Like the Big Bang

I think we all know the truth in our Heart (that is in coma.)

This is really, really important. I wish I had more time to help you see this, but not now.

This should do it. Work with this in your mind:

* STOP THINKING. STOP USING YOUR HEAD.

* STOP TALKING. STOP USING YOUR MOUTH SO MUCH.

* START LOVING. USE YOUR HEART.

Here is what is going on. The way our nervous system works:

* You can "think" and /or "talk" without using your Heart which is the seat of your highest wisdom / intelligence (see posts above.)

* You cannot use your Heart WITHOUT "thinking" and "talking" to maximum potential!!!! If engaged, THE HEAR RULES - it optimizes ever aspect, ever capability, every resource at your disposal for the good of the other.

Think of the mother who's child needs heroic performance from her. The mother's Heart takes complete control and takes the mother to a level of Divine Performance. Whatever else this is - this is a Neurological Phenomenon common to us all.

YOUR HEART (YOUR NEUROLOGICAL SUPER COMPUTER) IS DIVINE WISDOM. USE IT. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

It Just Does Not Really Matter What Happens to Your Body

This site is of the perception that the natural state of the human being on a tortured planet with most brothers in physical and / or psychological agony is HEROISM - Total, Radical, Heroic OTHERISHNESS, BROTHERLINESS 24/7 - JUST LIKE WE BREATHE 24/7, AND OUR HEART PUMPS 24/7....

Oh my gosh, with this in mind there are a million examples you can think of from Literature, Cinema, Real Life, YOUR OWN LIFE... to SEE that the hero does not care about her / his her body, EXCEPT AS IT IS NEEDED TO "SAVE" THE OTHER.

"Be a Hero or Be Dead," said Jesus. No?

See Adler and the first dozen or so posts in March 07.

See the post just above this one.

Start Loving's Vision is Proving Itself Sacred

If you've struggled with the above on this site you can make your own judgement on this.

Either way I deserve ZERO blame or ZERO credit.

For all practical purposes the contents of this site, any value or new insights, revelations that have come through me were just "there." They were a product of Our Father / Divine Wisdom / Insipiration / Supra Consciousness / Conscience / Immagination ... I don't care what you call it.

All this came as I stopped thinking, stopped talking, and started Loving, started turning all my attention to the Heart.

Einstein too may have said, "You will do greater than this" after I die.

One "Family," not Capitalism or Democracy is the System of the Kingdom

Nicea Killed Jesus-as-a-Way-of-Life; Made Jesus a Dead Statue

Nicea Moved the Name "Church" to the State of Rome

My Body is the Food for Your Life, and Mine

Jesus' Reign? Death of Capitalism

This is a shocking discovery for me that has come within just the last months. I probably might never have gotten there had I not read Dellinger's Yale to Jail, or Zinn's People's History of the United States.

Adam Smith, the creator of Capitalism, a good man as near as I can tell, reached the genocidal conclusion that: The world is too complex to be managed by brotherhood / one family. We must surrender to capitalism, forget the Golden Rule, and God, Devine Providence will work it all out for the best. Oh My GOD.

The psychology of Life and Joy

Well, some day I hope to have the time to complete this post. For now, this entire site, particularly the posts above will have to suffice. But in addition, or for emphasis:

* We have two basic ways of "living" out our lives, two mutually exclusive choices of paradigm: The world is Enemy, or the world is Family.
* SELFISHNESS is the being of the life lived among "enemies." Do unto others before they do unto you.
* OTHERISHNESS / BROTHERLY LOVE is the life lived among "world as family."

There are two chemical coctails of a positive nature that can wash our nuerons - Pleasere and Joy.

PLEASURE IS ELLICITED WHEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS INVOLVED IN SELFISHNESS.

JOY IS THE COCTAIL THAT BATHES THE NEURONS WHEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS HEROICALLY SERVING THE "OTHER."

HOW MUCH MONEY / SELFISH PLEASURE WOULD IT TAKE TO CAUSE A HEALTHY MOTHER TO SELL HERE CHILD - THE ONE THAT CRIES, POOPLS, SCREAMS, DEMANDS.... THE ONE THAT SHE DEVOTES HER LIFE TO SERVING?

JOY ALWAYS TRUMPS PLEASURE. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BECOME SLAVE TO A CULTURE THAT HAS REMOVED, OR PUNISHES VIRTUALLY ALL OPPORTUNITUES FOR OTHERISHNESS / HEROIC NONVIOLENT SERIVCE.

Church? The foks that show their love for everyone

Selfishness vs Otherishness is a Paradigm Shift

Capitalist Culture: Clincally Pathological to the Soul

See Alfred Adler, Victor Frankl, M. Csikszentmihalyi, Abe Maslow....

See the posts at the top of this site.

Otherishness / brotherly love is sanity / psychological health.

Adam Smith capitalism is the explicit elimination of Otherishness / Brotherly Love / Christian responsibility from all economic life.

How many days can you go without water without damaging your body?

How many minutes can you go without breathing without damage?

How many weeks without any form of movement or exercise at all?

How many days can you totally abuse your body with sweets and junk food before your health degrades.

HOW MANY HOURS CAN YOU GO WITHOUT HEROIC, TOTAL BROTHERHOOD / OTHERISHNESS WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR HEART / MIND / SPIRIT / SANITY?

Awaken Otherishness? Reign Otherishness / Start Loving

Live 100% on Brotherhood, or nothing

Save the World? Redeem / Awaken / Ransom Otherishness

Capitalist Culture Causes Mass Coma of the Soul / Otherishness

"Come Live in my Kingdom, now," Jesus

Today's Culture: Genocidal Assault on Otherishness; Hothouse for Selfishness

STOP THINKING. STOP TALKING. START LOVING.


It has taken an enormous amount of "Thinking" to get us into this mess - econimic genocide, middle class decimation, 13 children starving to death per minute, unopposed genocide in Darfur, 8 million slaughtered in Congo for cheap electronics, 40 year Palestinian concentration camps, nuclear weapons proliferation, US child well-being 19th out of 20....

It has taken an enormous amount of "Talking" to keep us in this mess.


"Loving" is the only way out of this mess. If we still have time.

Otherishness - the mesure of psychological health

Jesus, the ultimate patriot. Revolutionary otherishness, the ultimate patriotism.

When Persecuted a Hero Ministers to the Persecutor

What constitutes a HERO

Heroes are not reckless, careless, suicidal or masochistic

Jesus STANDS not for Justice or for Charity. ONLY OTHERISHNESS / BROTHERHOOD.

Charity and justice reigning can only come as a system of OTHERISHNESS / BROTHERHOOD as a way of life.

THE ULTIMATE SELFISHNESS IS THE ULTIMATE OTHERISHNESS

Otherishness IS Heaven on Earth:

* For the dooer

* For the receiver

Dear [Inner] Family, What if you don't see the grenades?

Hi. The following was quite helpful when it came to me last night as I was speaking to college students from Wisconsin in front of the White House. One of them quite appropriately but wrongheaddedly asked me if vigiling there "does any good?" What she had in mind I am sure was the time-killing/Darfur-killing emails, phone calls, lobying congress. Finally, with the following I found something that might help others understand the inappropriateness of such actions today. Into Thanksgiving Dinner rolls a live Hand Grenade...

Well, of course you are my Inner Family and I see grenades raining down all around you: Darfur, Palestine, Lebanon, Impending Police State, Congo, Guatemala, Haiti, Chester, Camden....

You don't see them.

I'll keep diving on them. That is going to keep me pretty busy. I probably will not be able to come to see you for a long, long time.

"Be HEROES," Jesus said. No?

"Heaven on Earth = REIGNING OTHERISHNESS Elimanting Selfishness," Jesus said. (Do you disagree?)

Truly, to articulate and promote this may be why I was born. I think it embodies everything that Jesus told us, and everything of value that I've learned from countless authors, HEROES and decades of striving:

"Be Heaven on Earth. REIGN OTHERISHNESS to Elimante Selfishness," Jesus said. (Do you disagree?)

"LIVE Heaven on Earth. Reign Otherishness to Elimante Selfishness," Jesus said. (Do you disagree?)

[Site not yet begun BeHEROES. My hope is to create and maintain a site broader than DARFUR Dying For Heroes to encourage and insprire heroes in every applicable realm: Human Rights, Religion, Environment, Anti-War, Anti-Nuc....]

Otherishness, Heroism - the antidote to Selfishness (the root of all evil) - is the object of this site. The insight that led to its creation includes prominently this quote from David Dellinger:

"Very few people chose war. They chose selfishness and the result was war. Each of us, individually and nationally, must choose: total love [Otherishness] or total war. "

There are many permutations of this - many forms of selfishness, many forms of evil that result. Check out:

DELLINGER'S WORDS THAT COULD SAVE THE WORLD

THE ONLY PATH TO JOY: REIGNING OTHERISHNESS

3.05.2007

HEROES ARE THE EVIDENCE OF OTHERISHNESS / LOVE / BROTHERHOOD

e

OTHERISNESS IS THE ANSWER. "Peace is [NOT] the answer."

The ONLY OBJECTIVE is Reigning Otherishness

LIVE ON BROTHERHOOD ALONE

Heroes Transcend Flesh / Lust - Stuff; Superiority; Systems/Institutions

Into Thanksgiving Dinner rolls a live Hand Grenade...

.... What do you do? A. Email your congressman; B. Blog; C. Lobby your congressman; D. Send $ to a charitable organization / nonprofit ...; E. See a sad movie about a similar situation; F. Hold a seminar at your church; G. Dive on the handgrenade so it does not kill your family.

Darfur is a live hand grenade thrown into your house. Throw yourself on it or it will destroy you and those you love.

Next rolls in Palestine, then Congo... Haiti...Jamaica...Iraq...New Orleans....

The Grenades are rolling. The only choice is how to act. The choice determins the outcome.

DROWNING IN PLEASURE OR SWIMMING IN JOY; Choose.

Hero: What % of the time? Christian? Hero.

HEROES = Examples, Leaders, Models, Inspiration, Sacrafice

JESUS DECLARED WAR AGAIN. This time through Dave Dellinger

"The...State [and its law]...is Rejection of God," Phil Berrigan

From: FOREWORD by Philip Berrigan #14850-056Federal Correctional Institution at Petersburg 1996-1997Federal Correctional Institution at Elkton 2001

"The genesis of the State then, ancient or modern, is rejection of God, rebellion against God. "They have not rejected you [Samuel], they have rejected me as their King." (1 Sam. 8:7) And God instructs Samuel to tell the elders what a human King, Leader, Premier, Fuhrer, Prime Minister, President would cost the people -- sons for the military, daughters as domestics, crushing taxes, fields, vineyards and flocks confiscated, servants seized, slavery the final, tragic culmination. As the ruling hierarchy told Pilate: "We have no King but Caesar. (John 19:15) ... As the ruling hierarchy told Pilate: "We have no King but Caesar." (John 19:15)"

" Paul equates the law with sin and death -- sin because law has nothing to say to sins of omission, and death because most will draw their morality from the law. The morality of most Americans is legalized. To become "law abiding" is to fear the penalties of the law, to become house-broken, domesticated. Morality limited by the boundaries of the law is spiritual death."



What prayer changes: the person that prays

Correctly done prayer changes the mind/brain/nervous system the way exercize and disciplined physical practice changes the tissue of muscles and the nervous system.

“When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.” --Matthew 6:16.

“I’ve been reading an excellent book on Gandhi, compiled by John Dear, S.J. Gandhi himself prayed two hours every day, and he concluded that prayer was nourishment for the soul, even as food was for the body, that prayer engendered the essentials of faith and humility, and that prayer, sincerely done, was more valuable than any action. " Phillip Berrigan

What is the correct objective and function of prayer:

* Development of vision/understanding. See Christian? Visionary.

* Development by right use of the imagination of the capacities for Love / Brotherhood / Understanding / Compassion / Empathy / OTHERISHNESS / SOUL / SOLIDARITY / SERVICE (Love of God) [see JESUS TAUGHT US: SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING.]

* As fininte beings, the degree to which we spend time exercising, training, and developing this capacity just mentioned, we are allowing to attrophy the capacity for Hate / Anger / SELFISHNESS / Hostility / Violence / Hard Heartedness; and we are imagining and preparing alternative ways of being to these.

Personally I am praying now hours per day. It is changing me.

"We must pray every waking second of every day, every second, and ocassionally use words to do so; our life must be the prayer," brother j

Waging Brotherhood: Spiritual JuJitsu

I feel quite excited that this is a very fruitful way to conceive of the approach that is cripplingly called nonviolence.

The task of this Waging Brotherhood, this Spiritual Jujitsu is to:

A. disarm/pacify/confuse / anesthetize / disengage / de-energize Selfishness; and to

B. energize / wake up / ignite / alert / fascinate / awaken / excite / inspire Otherishness / Brotherhood.

Oh boy, I know almost nothing about how to do this. For the first time I feel some insight into Patch Adams' fascination with clowning, although I do not think clowning is the answer.

Hunger Strike, Lengthy Prison, Standing in front of an Israeli bulldozer - these are examples of ways of Spiritual Jujitsu.

"Be the change [Brotherhood] you want to see." Gandhi. Certainly this is at the center.

Letter from Prison

:-) I can think of several reasons that I do not feel too much dread at the thought of my first extended stay in prison. No, nothing has been ordered yet, but I'm sure it is a matter of time. Court March 21st, April 18th, as many as 5 more arrests by April 6th do I anticipate. My purpose is not to be arrested. My purpose is to stand with all that I possess (hmmm, that would be my body) for brotherhood, and that places me in the way of the Beast of Mammon we call the American "way of life."

The reasons that I don't feel terrible dread?

1. To some degree I don't know, can't face the reality. But I do have pretty good imagination and I expect the worst - solitude, confinement with the most dangerous prisoners as punishment, brutality....

but also, and this is my point,

2. I'm already there! I'm already confined from the "pleasures" of life (death): casual association with folks, luxuries, safety, free time; resources, communication, mobility....

No, this post is not clear to me either, but that makes in no less true.

By the way, I regret the years I did not spend in this Prison, because it is full of Soul / Solidarity / Service / Life / Love / Purpose / Significance / Brotherhood / Truth....
