Get this, or the game is over.
See any and all notes on this and wherever you can on Alfred Adler.
This is what "Christianity" has been missing.
Whatever "mystical," "Divine being" aspects there are associate with Jesus; Jesus died to teach us about our mental lives, how to bring ourselves to clinical health, and that...
Right Understanding is the keys to Heaven on Earth.

MILITANT, "MILITARY" NONVILENT ACTION IS A MORAL & SPIRITUAL IMPERITIVE.
We cannot be Christian if we are anything less.
SPIRITUAL: "Saving" the Soul is to be a brother to a stranger that will gladly sacrifice themselves to help. This and only this can activate, "Save" the Immortal Soul.
MENTAL: IF OUR MIND IS DEAD, WE ARE DEAD. WILL GOD / CONSCIENCE / MORALITY / HUMANITY FORGIVE US IF WE LEAVE A DYING MAN UNATTENDED?
IF WE NEGLECT MILITANT NONVIOLENCE RISKING ENTIRELY OUR LIVES, WE ARE MORALLY AND SPIRITUALY LOST, FOREVER.

!!!!!!!! ALFRED ADLER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Adler was a contemporary of Freud. [Be careful! Just as is the case today with our understanding of Jesus teachings, for the same reason, do not, repeat, do not look to any of the "followers" of Adler to understand his work. NEVER. Go to his original writings (link above.) Having said that, to help you guage the credibility of what follows, and the cursory evidence as to where Adler falls in today's field of psychology I point you to a 6o second scan (no longer than that!) of International Association of Individual Psychology, Alfred Adler Graduate School, and dozens of other organizations world-wide.
Adler was as Healthy as Freud was Mentally Sick. Freud is to be forgiven. In essence it is as though was born into and lived his entire life in a mental ward for the seriously insane. Freud had absolutely no concept of "Health." You cannot have a valid psychology without experience and grasp of Health. How can you know what direction to move your clients?
Freud and Adler worked together. Adler broke off in his own direction.
Freud, in a society in Lust with burgeoning Capitalism (mandate to abandon brotherly responsibility; just invented in Freud's time) became its Darling. Freud validated that the toxic effect of inhumane competition was "normal" and therefore something to be accepted; something to be resigned to. It was a perfect marriage!
The parallel between the first 80 years of Jesus' life and that of Adler is enormous in that they both developed an tremendously loyal, potent, committed following that was in the vast minority and either ridiculed or ignored by the "main stream." Adler considered his psychology a "scientific" rendering of Jesus teachings. He was correct. God forgive me for not seeing the global implications until this week.
ESSENCE OF ADLER'S THEORY:
* We are born with an inbuilt paradigm. We WILL see humanity / others as family to be servant to; or enemy to be feared and exploited.
* We are far worse than terrible at managing this paradigm.
* Environment is the key determinant of selecting the paradigm. The environment if courageously "friendly" is likely to cause shift to the "friendly" paradigm in the other - OTHERISHNESS. The environment if at all "hostile" is likely to evoke the paradigm "enemy," "other" to be exploited - SELFISHNESS.
One of the five most difficult, MOST IMPORTANT books I have ever read is Adler's, "The Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler." Please get it, read it and understand it. Now. Before it is too late.

PRESS RELEASE: Darfur Hunger Strike Moves to Sudan Embassy 24 Hours Per Day
Darfur Hunger Strike Moves to Sudan Embassy 24 Hours Per Day Until el-Bashir Regains His Humanity
Washington, DC March 12, 2007 Darfur Hunger Strike day thirteen moves to the Sudan Embassy tomorrow at about noon where the striker intends to remain until Sudan President el-Bashir regains his humanity and brings full and generous protection, relief and restoration to his tortured Darfur family. Start Loving, previously known as Jay McGinley, has attempted to end the Darfur Genocide since May 14, 2006 by vigiling 134 days at and around the White House, accompanying this with 60 days of water-only hunger strike.
Loving, an executive in the computer industry turning around failing organizations most of his adult life, is also a trained psychological counselor and was on the management team of a small retail chain in Philadelphia until May 13, 2006 when he gave up everything to fight nonviolently in DC for his Darfur family.
“I appeal to the heart, to the humanity, to the Immortal Soul of my brother el-Bashir,” said Loving. “Al-Bashir is headed toward a place in history alongside Adolph Hitler, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Zionists and Pol Pot. He has the blood of millions on his hands. I hope to give my life, if that is required, in an attempt to awaken his heart in time to save my brother and some of our Darfur brothers and sisters. I hope to find the heroism and courage of my blessed brother and sister U.S. Soldiers who willingly give their Lives in Iraq for others, as mistaken as their beliefs may be.”
According to the faith based SaveDarfur.org coalition, “not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter... Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed; more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million men, women, and children are completely reliant on international aid for survival.”
Loving faces added difficulties in his Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike campaign including a record of arrests for peacefully demonstrating at the Pentagon, Federal Court House and the White House. Despite more than 60 nonviolent, all night vigils in front of the White House acknowledged by the police to be lawful and admirable, in late January of 2007 a rogue police officer, under the cloak of darkness, harassed and then arrested Loving for sitting up under a tree holding Darfur posters; just as Loving had done on the previous nights. Loving's court date for this arrest is March 21st and the Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike will preclude attendance at this hearing.
Additionally, Loving is completely without support or backing for his campaign which will make his campaign more difficult to survive for any significant length of time. On previous strikes Loving has had access to water , bathroom facilities and the protection of Lafayette Park Officers. Additionally, without support Loving has no knowledge or experience to guide him regarding the potential behavior of police. Despite the fact that he will be entirely nonviolent it is unknown what police action may be mounted by the various law enforcement agencies.
“Time is long past “up” for our Darfur family, and for the Soul of my brother el-Bashir” said Loving. “I have no illusion that my efforts will make any difference, but that is not my responsibility. Our Father calls us to be faithful, not successful. As best I can tell Our Father, Humanity, Conscience, Love, whatever you call it demands that we risk everything we have to awaken a Saving Love, Brotherhood, Humanity in a brother, el-Bahsir, in the face of such suffering and atrocity. This is my best attempt.”

Dear Inner Family, Hunger Strike moves to Sudan Embassy
Know that I have never been more filled with Joy, Peace, Love, Life and Agony.
Saint Thomas is getting back on his feet and this morning returned to his Sacred 25 year Vigil in the park. I received the sacred blessing of being commissioned by Thomas to cover his activity there for several days while he recovered from his illnesses. Thomas and Ellen have opened a portal there in front of the White House that enables writing on people's Hearts as few places on earth can match. No I am not talking about the location. I'm talking about the 25 years of Faithfulness, vision, courage, perseverance, Heroism, Love, Long Suffering, Wisdom, Truth that Our Father has built using them. They have opened a window to write on peoples hearts. May our Father bless their Hearts for creating this and may Thomas and Ellen finally learn to accept His Blessing of their Hearts with His/Her Infinite Love, Peace, Joy, and Life as they have not fully learned to accept up until this point in time. May She give them the Wisdom, Truth, support and Courage to continue their work with all of their Hearts, Wisdom and Truth.
With Thomas getting back on his feet to cover the 25 year vigil, and with others available to share coverage with him until he is 100%, my work here is at an end, for now.
I have longed to participate in the voluntary arrests Friday Night, March 16th with as many as 400 others at the White House after walking from the National Cathedral - Christian Peace Witness for Iraq. I have longed to participate in the Jonah House / Dorothy Day Catholic Worker April 4-6 Retreat (Holy Week Faith and Resistance Retreat) and to risk arrest with them each of the three days. All this if I did not land in jail March 21st for my wrongful arrest in late January at the White House.
But our Father seems strongly, urgently and Lovingly calling me back to Darfur, and I am overwhelmed with Joy and gratitude. I expect She will have me in front of the Sudan Embassy Tomorrow by noon. Seems She wants me there for as long as my flesh lasts, and the police permit. At the end of this post is the Press Release that some of today will be devoted to distributing. Please fell free to distribute further if you are so moved [or to blow this entire matter off!] as my time, and resources (no on-line press list for example) are profoundly limited at this point.
I would Lie if I said other than that after a lifetime of Living a Prayer for Wisdom and insight, this week our Father finally gave up hope of me figuring out the till-now hidden secrets of Making Global Peace and Brotherhood. My sense of that beginning late last week She finally threw up Her hands with something like, "Ok Start, you imbecile, I'll show you! Now listen carefully and write what I tell you!!! Now stand on the shoulders of Jesus, Dellinger, Gandhi, King, the Berrigan Brothers, Adler, Maslow, Hugo, Dickens, Dorothy Day, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, OPEN YOUR EYES, AND SEE!"
Between now and noon tomorrow I will devote most of my time to this task, writing all that She has shown me to the best of my pitiful abilities. I feel certain that She has given me Divine Inspiration and that it will be a grave Sin against Humanity if I do not share, and you do not carefully ponder what She has shown me. Pretty Absurd huh? This writing will go primarily on the blog: Jesus, Good, G d-Father, Alfred Adler, n Start Loving. I will not finish in time - tomorrow; and as of this moment it is little more than an outline!!!! But by tomorrow the more fleshed out outline will be enough if you work at it, PRAY AND USE YOUR IMAGINATIONS... AND YOUR HEARTS / CONSCIENCE / WISDOM / SOUL. In the name of G d I pray you do so.
With Love for you forever and missing you painfully already, your brother, Start

Not yet ready to die for your brothers and sisters? Not yet Christian.
Not yet giving your life for "the least of these [your] family?" Not yet Christian.
"A man who does not know what he is willing to die for, is not [yet] fit to live," Dr. ML King.
"If you would have your life, you will lose it," Jesus.
"The good shepherd lays down his life for his flock," Jesus.
"Love as I have loved," Jesus.
"Death is nothing to be sad about. The only thing to be sad about is knowing that you are not a saint," Teresa of Calcutta.
"To be Christian I think your life should resemble Christ's," Teresa of Calcutta.
The lives of our heroes, both nonviolent (brotherly) attest to this truth: Gandhi, Jesus, Dr. King, Mandella, All the Saints, Beko, Bonhoeffer, Corrie, Romero, Jan Juste.................................................................
Is Start Loving ready? Who the Hell knows! I think he is, eager even if it will help.

HEALTH, SANITY, JESUS DEMAND THAT RAISING AN ARMY OF HEROES IS PRIMARY
Activist community, my beloved Catholic Workers take heed.
You are mortally neglect in this regard, and deeply blind it appears to me. And no wonder. You have deprived of access to Adler's Theory!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADLER: There are two, and only two basic ways to be human, to approch and live the problems of life. We all select and live out our lives using one or the other:
A. Mankind is basiclly hostile - live accordingly. As subily or overtly as you need to do - "do unto others before they do unto you."
B. Mankind is basically Friendly / "Family"- live out your lives accordingly - "do unto others ALL that you would have them do unto you.
Adler goes on to demonstrate that "A" is an ERROR (sin) which can be corrected by powerful exposure to evidence that man is in fact friendly / "Family."
See that you are indeed called, morally mandated to raise all human kind as a permanent army of brothers. In this single act alone you will end war; you will cause mass, entire desertion from the forces of Selfishness - warmaking, capitalism, fascism, the state.
This is the work Jesus began. This is the work that Nicea put a final end to. This is the work you are called to. Know that you are called to give your lives entirely in whatever way our Father calls you to do.
We are out of time. You see this and proceed, or it is the end of humankind.
I pray you, I pray we are not too late.

Selfishness, Lustfulness is clinically Insane / Pathological / Pathenogenic
Insane, clinically, because it displaces Brotherliness / "Social Interest," Alfred Adler's measure of human health.
Pathogenic because is induces selfishness in others. Selfishness, private logic, treating the other as not-brother is insane, a diminishment of human health.
Who the hell is Alfred Adler? Oh God, it is time for your faith. See a post above on the subject. Is it mere coincidence that Dr. King quoted Adler in one of his last and most important sermons, "The Drum Major Instinct?"
Who the hell was John the Baptist!??!!? "Did you expect to see someone in fine clothes?"
Imagine the implications for the Peace Movement if you conclude that violence and war are Truly mental health issues. Imagine the implications.
Trust me at least enough to look into this further, in the name of God! See posts on Adler elsewere on this site.

We are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."
Genocide in Darfur?
We Americans are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

Three million slaughtered in Congo to steal raw materials for western "stuff?"

Why the hell have I spent four of the last eight months in front of the White House regarding Darfur Genocide? Because I can't continue to be "all evidence to the contrary."
I've just watched "Rachel Corrie: An American Consicience." At youtube you can find snippets on Rachel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, more Rachel). But this movie is devistatingly effective at showing the Genocide of the Palastinian people.

WE ARE GUILTY OF VIOLENCE IF WE DO NOT CONFRONT VIOLENCE
Sanity, Health, Salvation is being Loving, Brotherly.
Insanity, pathology, illness is EVERYTHING else.
We are guilty of violence if we abandon our brother to , insanity, disease, illness, pathology.
See Jesus and Alfred Adler.
I LOVE JESUS AND I THINK THIS IS 99% OF WHAT HE DIED TO TELL US. HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SHOW US HOW TO BECOME BIOLOGICALLY, NEUROLOGICALLY HEALTHY HUMANS. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL HIS DEATH BE IN VANE?

OUR FATHER'S KINGDOM IS THE HEART & SOUL. ONLY IN THE HEART ARE WE TO DWELL.
Our only hope of you seeing this is to use your Heart or s (as distinct from what seems to you to be your "mind," "logic," "reason...") to examine this.
What we in our more lucid, wise moments refer to as our "Heart" AND "Soul" is the part of our nervous system that is the seat, yes?, of:
* Conscience
* Wisdom
* Compassion
* Insight
* Revelation
* Soul
* Spirit....
Well, obviously this is The Kingdom of God is the Heart & Soul!!! [Did you know that? I didn't!]:
A. Within ourselves
B. In the world!!!!!!!!! The kingdom is the Heart and Soul of all human kind [whatever else it may be in addition.]
The turf, the battle field for "humanists," "Budists," "Christians," "Hindu's," "Muslims..." is the Human Heart & Soul - Clinically! If we fight and win there, the body must and will follow. We haven't even played there seriously. We mistakenly thought that all the teachings had more to do with some after life than life on the planet today. Yes we had some vague idea, but with Adler we can go from weak vision and theory to hard hitting, confident, courageous self-sacrificial, totally nonviolent battle for humanity!

THE OPPOSITE OF LOVING IS VIOLENCE. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE.
The opposite of breathing is death.
The opposite of your heart beating is death.
The opposite of full health is disease.
The opposite of proper "cell" activity 24/7 is death of the body.
We are social creatures. We are all "cells" in the body of human kind. We serve each other 24/7 or the body dies. Use your Heart and see this. Use your Head, you will NOT see it; GAME OVER.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
