PRINCIPLES OF KINDOM-BUILDING [NONVIOLENT] ACTION

The mechanics of Kindom-Building / Empire Deflation are:

  1. Awaken the Empirist;
  2. From their sociopathic trance;
  3. By giving them a shocking encounter;
  4. With extremely heroic Kindom / Kindness / Compassion / Love.

The criteria of a hopeful Direct Action:

  • EXTREMELY SELF SACRIFICIAL
  • IMMENSE SELF CONTROL / ZERO OTHER CONTROL
  • WHAT MILLIONS WOULD DO, ONE PERSON MUST DO
  • EXTREME OBEDIENCE TO HIGHER LAW
  • EXTREME BRAVERY
  • STRONGEST, MOST HONEST POSSIBLE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION / WITNESS
  • ZERO SACRIFICIAL OF OTHERS / EMPIRISTS / THE EMPIRE (STUFF)

See Glossary for terms.

DESTROY EMPIRE, TO THE DEATH. "THE EMPIRE" IS ILLUSION

"THE EMPIRE:" We mortally sin / err, and become instantly and completely irrelevant when we fight "the Empire." "The Empire" is guns, bombs, planes, legal systems, congress, Democrats, Republicans, Starbucks, Wal Mart; and EMPIRISTS, people enTranced with Empire. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER IS "THE EMPIRE" THE TARGET OR "ENEMY." "THE EMPIRE" IS A MIRAGE, A SYMPTOM OF THE MORTAL ENEMY OF ALL HUMANITY AND LIFE ON EARTH - THE SPIRIT OF "EMPIRE" THAT IS MURDERING EVERYTHING GOOD.

"EMPIRE, THE SPIRIT OF:"

All Life for the individual, DNA-family, world-family, 60 billion unborn depends on a global fight to the death (we fighters) against Empire.

PEACEMAKING LANGUAGE: SMASH OUR SHACKLES

The Spirit of Empire gave us the language of the so-called Peace Movement.

If we could get the Pentagon to embrace language like ours it would be the end of war:
  • Non?!??!!? -violence
  • Resistance?!?!?!?!?
  • Peace??!?!??! If there were peace, there would be no babies... GIVING BIRTH IS NOT PEACE-FUL!!!!!

The fact is that this language is used for a reason - TO KEEP THINGS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE - FOR THOSE IN THE "MOVEMENT."

Well, things are not Safe and Comfortable for folks in:

  • Iraq
  • Iran
  • Congo
  • Darfur
  • 9th Ward New Orleans
  • Palestine
  • Sierra Leone
  • South America
  • Africa
  • Inner Cities
  • Etc...
  • Etc...
  • Etc....

What language is more hopeful and helpful?

  • War of construction
  • Waging Love
  • Waging Brotherhood / Familiness
  • Waging World Family
  • Massive Militant Direct Action
  • Radical Familyness
  • Familiness to the Death
  • Total Deflation of Empire
  • Total Counteraction of Empire
  • Total Replacement of Empire with Kindom
  • Etc...
  • Etc...
  • Etc....

IN CONTRAST: HUMANE/CHRISTIAN AND EMPIRISTS

"My point is that both Yeshua and Gandhi confronted Empire and both were considered 'rubbish' by the political elites. But the empirists underestimated the power of Love and nonviolence.(Sorry I had to explain myself Namaste~"
Anonymous

This morning waking up was the following inspiration:
  • SANE HUMANS / JEWS could not do what is being done to Palestinians, it is against the Jewish religion to treat people in that way. EMPIRISTS / ZIONISTS, not Jews are visiting the unspeakable violence and inhumanity on our family Palestine. (This part I already knew. Now the NEW PART!!!)
  • SANE HUMANS / CHRISTIANS could not do what the US is doing to itself and to the rest of the world, as this greatest in history evil and inhumanity is exactly forbidden by the religion of Christ Jesus. EMPIRISTS not Sane Humans / Christians are visiting the unspeakable violence and inhumanity on our world-family.

We better look in the mirror.
Are we Humane / Christian,
or Empirist
today?

EMPIRE'S CROWNING BLOW: MAKING "FAMILY," EMPIRE

What looks "cute" below is deathly important.

There are two realms, and only two that our nervous system has the ability to inhabit:
  1. Empire
  2. Kindom

Empire is any and every state of consciousness that is NOT "World-Family / Kindom."

The crowning blow of Western / US Free Market Capitalism is to inculcate absolutely into biological (family) units - the state of "Empire." Per se, by definition, by IMmoral responsibility to be "Family" in this corrupt culture means to SEPARATE those with your DNA and place them ABOVE those without your DNA.

The proof? Who are our Saints? EXACTLY THOSE THAT HAVE ESCAPED THIS CROWNING BLOW OF EMPIRE:

  • Jesus
  • King
  • Gandhi
  • Sojourner Truth
  • Eleanor Roosevelt
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Rosa Parks
  • Steve Beko
  • Rachel Corrie
  • Teresa of Calcutta
  • Beverly
  • Bonhoeffer
  • Thomas
  • Ellen
  • Berrigan
  • McKenna....

THERE IS NO CORRUPTION AS MURDEROUS IN THIS UNIVERSE AS EMPIRE DISPLACING KINDOM WITHIN THE BIOLOGICAL UNIT.

"Nothing is so tempting as
evil in the garb of virtue."
Martin Luther King

Jesus did not say "Admire me,"
Jesus said, "Follow me."

BORN TO DIE TRYING.

BORN TO DIE TRYING. Is there a more overwhelmingly blessed thought?
  1. Your heart in your chest was born to die trying to give you health.
  2. Your eyes were born to die trying to give you effectiveness.
  3. Your Love was born to die trying to make you savior of the world.

JESUS' TEACHING: INFINITE SIMPLICITY; INFINITE COMPLEXITY

JESUS' TEACHING:

"YOU ALL HAVE THE SAME PARENT,
JEHOVAH,
AND THEREFORE YOU ARE
ALL ONE FAMILY.
SIMPLE.
GET ON WITH IT.
NOW.
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
"

  1. INFINITE SIMPLICITY
  2. INFINITE COMPLEXITY

What is more simple than white light from the sun? But in that light are all the colors, all the TRILLIONS of colors and shadings in the universe.

What is more simple than the "sight" provided by your eyes? But with that "sight" you can navigate unassisted virtually anyplace on the entire planet, or in the universe.

What is more simple than "Love as I have loved?" And with that Love you are called to all of the Joy and all of the Pain on the planet. And with that Love you become equipped to "see" with the Eyes S/He has - where you are needed in His/Her family and what you were born to die attempting to help.

WESTERN FAMILY: ANOTHER FORM OF "EMPIRE"

NEEDED IS TO TRIGER A BLAST OF NUCLEAR CONSTRUCTION

IF WE COULD GET THE PENTAGON TO COPY THE PEACE MOVEMENT...

REGARDING THE FORCES OF EMPIRE, PEACE WOULD BE ASSURED...

  1. If we could bring their terminology down to the murderous inadequacy and energy containment of our NONviolence, RESISTANCE, Passivism, Peace (I'm going to puke), Truth Force....
  2. If we could give them our profound myopia / irresponsibility regarding the absolute truth of time, pace, deadlines, launch windows, sufficient force...
  3. If we could give them our void where must be a winning vision / plan / mission...
  4. If we could give them our incapacity to see and believe that we can win...
  5. If we could give them our aversion to envisioning what would win, and working backwards from there...
  6. If we could give them our lack of courage...
  7. If we could give them our unwillingness to die for the cause...
  8. If we could give them our patience while those who depend on us are tortured and die...
  9. If we could give them our requirement to be certain before stepping out...
  10. If we could give them our faith in talk, media, tricks, trite, cute...
  11. If we could give them our vision that paying a price as big as the opposition pays is not worth discussing...
  12. If we could give them our willingness to accept failure...
  13. If we could give them our willingness to forgo the attempt to win, and our unwillingness to risk repeated failure...
  14. If we could give them our willingness to waste massive amounts of time on unimportant, trivial, petty issues...

WE STARVE TO FORCE PROSTITUTION

A PROSTITUTE ... WAS STARVED INTO PROSTITUTION. I never saw this until today.

What I did see was - Yes s/he strips for PLEASURE because s/he likes it, and longs for the PLEASURE to be bought with the MONEY afterwards.

What I did NOT see was that s/he did NOT, in favor of prostitution, turn down the JOYS attendant to:
  • An incredibly loving partner
  • A life-creating job and career
  • A warm and welcoming home
  • An incredibly functional / loving community / home...

A PROSTITUTE ...
WAS STARVED INTO PROSTITUTION
BY BEING STARVED OF THE JOYS
THAT WERE "RIGHT" THAT S/HE HAVE.

I NEVER SAW THIS UNTIL TODAY. WHY TODAY?
I'VE BEEN OUT OF EMPIRE LONG ENOUGH, I GUESS.

PROSTITUTION: "DEVOTING ONE'S TALENT TO UNWORTHY CAUSE..."

NUCLEAR DETONATION REQUIRES A TINY / MASSIVE BLAST

JESUS WAS TOO YOUNG FOR ALC

JESUS, AT 33 WAS...
  1. TOO YOUNG,
  2. HAD NOT THE FAMILY LINES,
  3. WAS TOO CHAUVINISTIC,
  4. LACKED THE PRISON TIME,
  5. AND LACKED THE PHARASIAN AFFILIATION...

... TO BE IN THE POWER STRUCTURE OF THE ATLANTIC LIFE COMMUNITY (ALC) / CATHOLIC WORKER / JONAH HOUSE MOVEMENT.

PITY.

EMOTION. E-MOTION. E=MC Sqd.

EMOTION IS EVERYTHING. I HAD FORGOTTEN.

WHY DID YOUNG FRANZ JAGERSTATTER STAND AS HITLER SHOT HIM?

Q: WHY DID YOUNG FRANZ JAGERSTATTER STAND STILL WHILE HITLER SHOT HIM? "An Austrian peasant, Franz Jägerstätter refused to serve in the Nazi army following Germany’s invasion of Austria. His courageous and singular refusal was based in a deeply pietistic Catholicism. His story, and his reflections, are a moving testimony to the moral responsibility of the individual as opposed to the obligations of the state."

A: BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE WAS WORTH MORE TO FRANZ AGERSTATTER THAN HIS OWN.

"THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL...

"The only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.

For the first time in my life, now I have seen a "Church" of more than one to 5 "Christian" people. I'm about 56 years old. Do you know what I am saying?

I spent time with this Church all weekend. I'll guess that the cost they've paid fighting nonviolently for their 6 billion brothers and sisters is 20+ years in prison. Yes, you heard me.

Which certain senior female person in this "Church" wrote the following to me is utterly unimportant, and if you think you know who it is, put that thought out of your mind immediately - it is the Devil working. But that it is held by one (and many I suspect) of these Saints is crucial for me to wrestle with. Their message to me (below) may be correct. The message for me may be incorrect. I must decide. IF YOU KNOW ME, tell me what you think.

----

"Dear Start,

The whole feminist revolution seems to have eluded you. The way you speak to and of women is inappropriate and, often, insulting; this is especially true of the way you speak to younger women. Your language is far from inclusive. And that language, it seems to me, reflects a spirit that is not inclusive...."
----

Dear friends. I'm not interested in whether I can cross "t's" or dot "i's" better than I do. No time for that, no time to be concerned with "perfection." NO TIME NOT TO BE CONCERNED WITH EXCELLENCE ON IMPORTANT ISSUES! What I need to determine is to what degree is this feedback to me:
  1. A correct assessment of a major source of destruction on my part, or...
  2. Reflective of what is true of most every "revolution," that the outcome of the revolution in the eyes of the "victor" is that those who dominated (in this case men) are now TO BE DOMINATED, subservient, servile, oppressed... (which I am not and will not be).

Do I empower people powerfully, in this case especially young women, or do I disempower - act to dominate them. PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE HELP ME (IF YOU CAN. POST "COMMENTS" TO THIS SITE. I'LL PUBLISH WHAT YOU WRITE I AM SURE.)

SAINT WILLIAM STRINGFELLOW

William Stringfellow 1928 - 1985

"Can the pope speak infallibly?", Stringfellow was asked at an ecumenical gathering. He reply was swift and sure. "Any Christian who speaks in conformity to the gospel speaks infallibly." It was typical of the pithy pronouncements which would endear him to many. Yet he was ever as profound as he was precise. When Karl Barth visited the United States in 1962 he pointed past the seminary professors to the diminutive lawyer and remarked, "This is the man America should be listening to."

William Stringfellow was born in Johnston, Rhode Island. His father was a knitter in a stocking factory. Needing money for a university education, he held three jobs in his last year of high school, yet managed to gain several scholarships and find himself at Bates College by age fifteen. Another scholarship took him to the London School of Economics. It was here, he was to write later, that he learned the difference between vocation and career. Military service followed with the Second Armored Division of the U.S. Army. When other soldiers complained that they were deprived of an identity in the armed forces and couldn't "be themselves", he disagreed. He knew that it is the living Word of God, Jesus Christ, which gives us our identity and frees us to "own" ourselves, cherish ourselves, profoundly be ourselves, anywhere.

Next was Harvard Law School. While a degree from this prestigious institution was a key which unlocked many doors, the door on which he knocked belonged to a slum tenement in Harlem, New York City. He had decided to work among poor blacks and Hispanics, the most marginalized of the metropolis. The move from Harvard to Harlem was jarring. His apartment measured twenty-five feet by twelve feet. Earlier five children and three adults had lived in it. The kitchen contained a tiny sink and an old refrigerator (neither of which worked), an old gas stove, a bathtub, and a seatless toilet bowl. Thousands of cockroaches were on hand to greet him. "Then I remembered that this is the sort of place in which most people live, in most of the world, for most of the time. Then I was home......"

His frustration with seminaries was inconsolable. Liberal schools of theology, having disdained the bible, offered little more than "poetic recitations...social analysis, gimmicks, solicitations, sentimentalities, and corn." Fundamentalist institutions, on the other hand, had yet to learn that "...if they actually took the bible seriously they would inevitably love the world more readily...because the Word of God is free and active in the world."

NEW SITE HEADDER

Now at the top of this site:

"LOVING" is our only way
to Rescue and Restore Humanity
from the planetary Hell
of our "STARVING" and "KILLING."
Our "LOVING" HEARTS
are the only thing
"strong" enough, "wise" enough,
"brave" enough
to get us out of this mess.
"STARVING" and "KILLING"
CREATED THIS HELL:
"STARVING" OTHERS
OF THE LIFETIME OF SERVICE
TO THEM
WE ARE BORN TO GIVE;
"KILLING"
AS WE HAVE
OUR STATES DO
TO EXTORT OVERPRIVILEGE.

STOP "STARVING."
STOP "KILLING."
START "LOVING."

!!!! GOD IS THE LOVING TRUTH OF LIFE !!!!

We will NEVER know more than that.

I have never written a more important post. And as usual, I'm the messenger, not the source. The source? The Hebrew Bible on which the life lived by Jesus, and the Corruption we know today as the Bible and New Testament are based.

Jehovah within the Hebrew Bible of Jesus' time was - the divine forces that we all feel, but will NEVER BE ABLE TO NAME.

ALL WE CAN EVER KNOW ABOUT GOD FOR SURE:

GOD IS:

LOVING-ABSOLUTE-TRUTH-ABOUT-SECURING-ABUNDANT-LIFE-FOR-THE-INDIVIDUAL-AND-OF-ALL-HUMANITY.

FATHER? MOTHER? SENTIENT? COGNIZANT? ALIEN? INFINITE? WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO NAME ANY OF THIS FOR SURE. WE ARE MAD NOT TO IMAGINE ABOUT "FATHER," "MOTHER," ETC. BUT WE MURDER WHEN WE LIVE AS THOUGH OUR IMAGININGS ARE "TRUTH."


My source on this about Jehovah? Saint David Dellinger. God help the person that doubts Dave Dellinger as a source without God Damn good reason and authority to do so.

AM I FINALLY TO "START?" I THINK SO.

From a letter to folks that have been family to me:

Your love has meant the world to me.

I think that my life has been easy for you to bear compared with what is in store now. I'm just getting glimpses, finally, FINALLY, of what I am here on earth to do. I think. I am so excited, so grateful I am sobbing. The Almighty is maybe answering my begging after all these years, I think. "PLEASE SHOW ME HOW I CAN HELP, HOW TO MAKE ALL THIS CRUELTY, KILLING, STARVING, INHUMANITY STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," I beg answer of Her. I'm beginning to be shown what I can do, how I can finally be of some help.

When and if I have clarity I'll share with you more. For now, what I am "Hearing" from God is a miracle, and something of which you will be enormously proud, and anguished. No, you will NOT be horrified or mortified. And maybe as has happened so often what I am hearing now is not to materialize. We'll see.

I'm sorry I can't share more right now. I don't expect to act in the way I'm beginning to "see" for several more weeks. You must respect and yield my need for this space, silence as to further explanation, at the moment.

Pray for me. Pray for our 100 billion brothers and sisters, born and unborn.

Loving you immensely, Start

ps: You must disconnect from me if and when traveling with me as you have gets too intense. You are responsible to protect your blessed and utterly essential ability to contribute, from damage.
pps: I've never been given more important revelation than is in the process of posting at START LOVING. You might want to keep checking over the next few days.

EVIL, SIN IS ENTIRELY EMPIRE. I think so.

CHRIST? SPIRIT OF LOVING. ANTICHRIST? SPIRIT OF EMPIRE.

I HAVE BEEN DYING SINCE I WAS CONCIEVED ...

I HAVE BEEN DYING SINCE I WAS CONCIEVED ... AND SO HAVE YOU; SINCE THE TIME OF YOUR CONCEPTION. THIS IS AN INDESPUTABLE, BIOLOGICAL FACT.

SOOOOOO... NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT
YOU "ARE"
AT THIS MOMENT DYING...

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DIE FOR?
