RISE ABOVE or RISE WITH
Rise Above: The way of enemy, EMPIRE, CANCER.
Thanks to Peter Maurin, Catholic Worker founder for this idea.
BEWARE THE HYPOCRITES
but they do not do,
they do not know.

OUT OF THE BLUE DW SAID TODAY...
I SAID IN REPLY, "THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN YEARNING TO BE LIKE HIM, TO BE TAKEN OVER BY HIS SPIRIT 100% ALL OF MY LIFE. AND IF HE DOESN'T COME BACK IN ALL OF US, IMMEDIATELY, IT IS GAME OVER PLANET EARTH." DW SEEMED TO AGREE.
INSANE TO BE SURE BUSH DID 911! INSANE TO BE SURE HE DID NOT.
Yes, there ARE some that know for sure - Bush for example and those immediately involved if they did do it - execute or engineer 911, the newst Perl Harbor.
The point? Where it would be crazy to think such a thing about Jimmy Carter, IT IS NOT CRAZY TO THINK THAT BUSH / CHENEY MIGHT HAVE.
How do you live in the face of such potential craziness. YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE, WITH PURE MILITANT BROTHERLINESS / PURE NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION TO:
- Get them out of office, or,
- Get those in government around them to stop supporting their barbarity - a NEW 911 or Preemptive War on Iran!!!!!!
"THINKING" AND "TALKING:" SUBVERSIVE DIVERSIONS BY EMPIRE
- Empire (spirit of) in charge: "Hey friend, my car is on fire!" "Hmmm. What do you want me to do stranger?"
- Kindom (spirit of) in charge: "Hey man, I was just outside and your car is on fire!" "Oh my God. Brother, please call 911 while I go try to extinguish it!"
#1 - THINKING and TALKING to make us STRANGERS, to enable IRRESPONSIBILITY / DISUNITY / DISTANCE / DIVORCE / DISMISSAL !!!!
#2 - THINKING and TALKING to UNITE us as FAMILY, KIN, KINDOM to enable RESPONSIBILITY / COMMUNITY / COOPERATION / COLLABORATION !!!
We are all capable of either or. The fate of the planet depends on selecting Kindom. Always. Time is up.
"TIME:" DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS/GANDHI AND YOU
A: Time.
When others are suffering Gandhi / Jesus / King think about TIME: FAST, IMMEDIATE, EMERGENCY.
When you and I see others suffering WE IGNORE TIME; Hmm, I'm busy now, Later, Sometime Soon.
I MAY NOT BE AMONG YOU MUCH LONGER
Jehovah, the Almighty Powers we all feel and never will be able to name, your will be done.
PRINCIPLES OF KINDOM-BUILDING [NONVIOLENT] ACTION
The mechanics of Kindom-Building / Empire Deflation are:
- Awaken the Empirist;
- From their sociopathic trance;
- By giving them a shocking encounter;
- 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
"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
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
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
There are two realms, and only two that our nervous system has the ability to inhabit:
- Empire
- 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.
- Your heart in your chest was born to die trying to give you health.
- Your eyes were born to die trying to give you effectiveness.
- 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."
- INFINITE SIMPLICITY
- 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.

IF WE COULD GET THE PENTAGON TO COPY THE PEACE MOVEMENT...
REGARDING THE FORCES OF EMPIRE, PEACE WOULD BE ASSURED...
- 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....
- If we could give them our profound myopia / irresponsibility regarding the absolute truth of time, pace, deadlines, launch windows, sufficient force...
- If we could give them our void where must be a winning vision / plan / mission...
- If we could give them our incapacity to see and believe that we can win...
- If we could give them our aversion to envisioning what would win, and working backwards from there...
- If we could give them our lack of courage...
- If we could give them our unwillingness to die for the cause...
- If we could give them our patience while those who depend on us are tortured and die...
- If we could give them our requirement to be certain before stepping out...
- If we could give them our faith in talk, media, tricks, trite, cute...
- If we could give them our vision that paying a price as big as the opposition pays is not worth discussing...
- If we could give them our willingness to accept failure...
- If we could give them our willingness to forgo the attempt to win, and our unwillingness to risk repeated failure...
- If we could give them our willingness to waste massive amounts of time on unimportant, trivial, petty issues...
WE STARVE TO FORCE PROSTITUTION
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.
JESUS WAS TOO YOUNG FOR ALC
- TOO YOUNG,
- HAD NOT THE FAMILY LINES,
- WAS TOO CHAUVINISTIC,
- LACKED THE PRISON TIME,
- AND LACKED THE PHARASIAN AFFILIATION...
... TO BE IN THE POWER STRUCTURE OF THE ATLANTIC LIFE COMMUNITY (ALC) / CATHOLIC WORKER / JONAH HOUSE MOVEMENT.
PITY.
WHY DID YOUNG FRANZ JAGERSTATTER STAND AS HITLER SHOT HIM?
A: BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE WAS WORTH MORE TO FRANZ AGERSTATTER THAN HIS OWN.

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:
- A correct assessment of a major source of destruction on my part, or...
- 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
"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."

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.
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.
