ONLINE INTIMACY WITH GOD AND FAMILY...
Andrius is mathematician who lives in Lithuania. He is now going from Palestine to Israel, back and forth to develop a university course of a non-violent aproach to fighting peacefully. His work can be followed at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fightingpeacefully/Here are letters I write, hoping to contribute in fueling the inspiration and clarity of the journey...
Dear Andrius,
Because of the delicate work that you have undertaken in Palestine
and after reading your outline for the course developement for the
non-violent to engage the violent, I see, I think and I feel that it
is time to allow for God to teach us the difference between the
worship that He seeks from us, as opposed to the idolatry that He
rejects.
I see, think and feel this way as result of the first line of your
outline for course that you've given us to read at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fightingpeacefully/message/193This first line says:
"God (and our conscience, our principles)
The importance to make the difference is for both, God's reality as
He wishes to be known and not as we wish to make Him fit our comfort
and agenda, as well as for our eternal safety.
In your outline, you begin very rightly so by giving God the
priority. Now let's find out from Him what is worship as opposed to
idolatry and how to share from and with one another.
Here is how being a "free thinker" has allowed me to express God's
calling and God's work of reaching out to all humans:
FROM BROWN TO GREEN
My work in cyber space that took me here, is to manifest the depth of
the roots with which the Love of God reaches to take humans from the
BROWN of our corruptibility to His GREEN Open Lead, reaching each one
independently with His Love and attention and direction. To best
describe the meaning of FROM BROWN to GREEN, we need to think
microscopically, at the level of mollecules. I am a human who is one
brown set of mollecules. I am part of the dirt of humanity. I am
corruptible, therefore I am BROWN. One day, in my natural dark
journey of decomposing from age and corruptibility, I get to be
seized by something that takes my corruptible, BROWN humus nature and
brings the set of mollecules that I am made of to combust; the inner
connection of the roots into the unit of mollecules ignites "what" I
am into "who" I am. The Vine of Eternal Life's Currency has now
reached me with its deep root and I am now aware of being aware. From
the BROWN unaware nature of corruptibility, I am now in the GREEN of
spiritual infancy. Now from one such example at the mollecule level,
let's go from here, you and I Andrius, and lets take the ride with
the sap. Here we go, travelling from the BROWN of dark, isolated sets
of mollecules and now, from the light of renewed Green taking us from
underground to the sunlight, we begin to see the grapes production
that we are grown from and that goes on growing from each into the us
of our completion. Once GREEN, all colors become part of the eternal,
renewing nature we are of now and into forever.
I've written that as a way to express how, why and how God reaches humans, which is meant for the sake of producing worshippers to the Father in truth and in spirit.
BELIEF VERSUS FAITH IS WHERE THE
DIFFERENCE LIES BETWEEN IDOLATRY and WORSHIP
Belief is from the nervous energy by which we can conclude, make up
our mind and have an opinion of our own, with or without the truth.
Beleif brings us to sound conclusions of our own. Then comes the need
to know that I am known in such a way as I may also know that I know.
This is when Faith draws beleif into revelation. This distinction
leads to observe two opposing accesses at the basic fundamental
levels of sourcing the human thought generating and processing, and
consequently, at the source of the very health of personal identity
development and interactive qualities. The spirit-driven mind is the
experience of organic-spiritual unity where all quality of living
are. The soul-driven mind is where beleif refuses the revelation of
Faith and turn societies into herds of peer pressured humans,
spending our existence under the "peacefully oppressed order" of
military intelligence, to maintain the animal soul driven nature of
humanity under check. Psychiatry is only just coming to terms with
the conclusive observations in the curative powers of Faith for a
variety of conditions where the patient is relieved from past beliefs
that find themselves at the root of the condition that needs treated.
From Faith, the mind is at peace with an imaginative screen that
feeds from the balanced creative participation of both, the
subjective and the objective state of being fully developing
together, into the revelation of being relevant at the source of
being one with all in all.
Therefore the response I seek to provide is the simplicity of His
Presence and of His Voice, so that whenever or wherever anyone asks
any question concerning God, He is then always available to be pin
pointed amongst His own human manifestation of His Promised Covenant
of Justice, Peace and Joy by the Spirit.
Does this allow for a safe basis to move on in our exploration into
finding from God what is the worship that He seeks from humans as
opposed to the idolatry of our our stes of beliefs?
...all blessings be with us all...

Ami and Andrius,
The problematic you are finding yourselves into, is that of the Dominant-Dominated human equation. Depending on your personal experience and view on the matter of such ethnic dynamics, there is enough confusion caused by Middle-Eastern spiritual fog to allow for pretty well any angle from the whole human spectrum of the Dominant-Dominated equation to find its way into the interpretation of humanity's sensitivities.
Therefore, I think that both of you are right while both are being wronged by too much intensity having nowhere to go, as in being bent out of shape like a piece of music being played on instruments that are out of tune, producing textures of sounds that do not fit with one another.
In Andrius position, I see the stalion of freedom of one who is born and raised in America and activated when he returned to Luthuania with his parents, to serve humanity, geographycally and historically positioned at the feet of a fallen empire of tyranny that could make a come back under a different mask at any time.
In Ami's position, I see the expression I heard from a Rabbi when describing the Jewish reaction to the holocaust: "NEVER AGAIN".
Dear brothers, I am deeply with both of you in your thirst for justice and in your hunger for peace! That need and desire of our soul make up our footing to stand as one in the mining of the organic experience of spiritual unity where deceit and evil are exposed for what they are so that reconciliation can take root!
From my geographic and historical position, it has been 400 years that French and English have worked to eliminate that sense of Dominant-Dominated equation between the two of them, while hosting the rest of humanity within a universal social project called Canada.
Yesterday, on Monday 27, 2006 was the first time that the Prime Minister of Canada declared with an Official motion in Parliament, that:
"The Québecois and Québecoises are a nation within a united Canada!"
The motion was adopted with nearly 270 for and 16 against.
Instead of the big party that should have come out of it, there is only mass confusion on all sides. No one is able to define the word Nation without causing more confusion and that is happening one day after that Official motion was passed and adopted with a huge representation of the whole Country...oups... Did I mention country? nation? people? nation within nation adding up to country? ... no kidding!!!... Such are the questions we are faced with, as a local model of the global United Nations. Only by learning efficiently from past mistakes will we know how to re-direct the reflexes of fears in the direction of wisdom's radiancy without insulting intelligence with the militancy of dominance.
My proposal to get out of such impass is twofold and it is tailored to be suitable to overcome the kinds of Stress-Violence energies that are sourcing the Dynamics-State of humanity's Command-Control short-circuitry of pursuits that ends up, cycle after cycle, into the false security of the Dominant-Dominated equation of one kind or another, such as the English-French, Russian-Luthuanian, Israel-Arab contexts suffice in demonstrating where the line is between personal and communal sanity, versus the insanity of synthetic, computed and assimilated versions of human exploitation that we become when forced and oppressed into subjection under domination's force instead of being animated by the inspiration of love and truth's discipline where God meets and guides each one from within, leading decision-making amongst us all:
1- To agree on a definition of "Sovereignty" that conveys the meaning that:
"Sovereignty is the ability to make decisions in completing maturity and the capacity to implement these decisions with complete responsibility".
2- Nation is:
"A distinct citizenship who can function in the trust of human Sovereignty's assembly, in the partnership of human completion and satisfaction of a mature people of all people".

GOD IS...the AUTHORITY of LOVE...
...LOVE IS The AUTHORITY of GOD...
...GOD IS AUTHORITY...
...AUTHORITY IS GOD...
When the mind and the heart of GOD get offended, HOLINESS rises up in
JUSTICE, so that the PEACE of harmony does not shrink away from the
plentidude of ETERNAL LIFE, within HIS beloved ones, such as you are
Andrius.
when such uprise of GOD's HOLINESS is forced to happen, humans suffer
more than the usual
As humans, we are ALL connected within the limits of temporal life and of the unknown version's of death's reality.
...Imposed upon humans by the subjectiviy of life's objectivity, is the need to find, to enter and to grow in the HOLINESS of GOD, so as to get a sense as well as be taken in position of the ONE view...
So dear Andrius, brother in arms of GOD, go on allowing everything that comes againts you to be absorbed by GOD HIMSELF, so that HIS HOLINESS looks after all that can be saved and that you can be preserved in your calling, in your awareness of the sadness and despair of all that the AUTHORITY must punish, so that the HARMONY of JUSTICE does not go out of the limits...
...Once touched by GOD's HOLINESS, my own evil is then overcome by the good needed in the LEAD of all THINKING, guided by the BEING ONE with one another, because of the merging of identity into the the presence of the here and now of GOD in mE...
...Dear Andrius, may this last E, out of the mE, be for you the energy of HOLINESS...
Dear AUTHORITY within our midst, I pray that You go on applying Your
mind into Andrius thinking, as this is where he delights to exist on
this earth, and where he invites all of humanity to engage one
another...
...do go on meeting with him I pray, from beying his understanding,
where the peace of YOUR HOLINESS can not be disturbed, so that he may
behold evil being overcome by Your work in all of all....amen to Your
YES in us alll...
...all blessings be with us all...

...I am therefore a Free thinking Independent thinker because of God's truth in I and you and he/she...adding up to the organic experience of Us by the glory of God's being here and now as The Source leading openly from eternity to eternity...
"Dear God, I pray that You do please lead us on openly with Your free
thinking, so that our independent thinking assembles in our being from Your being, in the having that Your Being provides, bringing on the doing to save humanity along with Andrius, Franz, Jeff, Janet, and all whom You know to be seeking and following the true worship as You seek from us across the whole earth...amen to Your Yes in us all...

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF CHECKPOINTS?
As I observe the media pictures and scenes of checkpoints in
Palestine, I am faced in my senses, with an extreme exaggeration
case of "irreconcilable versions of righteous indignation" which has
festered for thousands of years.
The main built-in problem with irreconcilable versions of righteous
indignation is that both are right, in a never-ending frenzy to
prove the other one wrong.
I suggest that this is a personal DNA matter which as we know, is
the basis for family based civilisation, such as are the Israeli and
Palestinian societies.
Therefore, I conclude that irreconcilable versions of righteous
indignation can only be brought to peace, by cultivating the point
of view that permits each family to see individually and communally
that the nature of checkpoints is first of all an inner condition
and that there lies the enemy.
Once the enemy is identified, righteous indignation gets eliminated
under each one's own personal command control so that the road of
justice gets to be built from self-destruction to community self-
government, in the clarity of transparency, as opposed to the
darkening strategies of indignation.
Dear God, guide us to Your peace and allow for the release of Your
Spirit within each and amongst all who are sick of their own
righteous indignation clogging the way and the voice of Your love,
attention and joy. May You answer this prayer upon the whole earth
and most of all, where such inner condition gets exaggerated into
the culture of violence upon violence. I pray in Your family's name
on earth as in heaven...amen to Your YES in us all...
...all blessings be with us all...

GOD IS...the AUTHORITY of LOVE...(3)
Dear Andrius,
As I go on writing this thread of thoughts, I hope to go on sharing
with you the nutrition I am given to feed the communal roots of our
invisible reality that keeps us in touch intimately with each
other's essence.
In many of my writings, I call the peak of this most intimate
experience of God's strength within each one and among all of His
children in the pleasure of His Spirit: "The Perpetual Celebration
of Easter upon the Land of Immanuel."
Immanuel means "God among us" and it is the name used to describe
Jesus in an Old Testament prophecy regarding the momment of his
birth.
The name Immanuel combined to the word Land are used together within
the context of another prophecy which I strongly feel, belongs to
the timing of the calling to which you are currently responding
Andrius. This prophecy is found in Isaiah 8,5-22 and says:
"5-The LORD also spoke to me again, saying:
Inasmuch as these people refused
The waters of Shiloah that flow softly,
And rejoice in Rezin and in Remaliah's son;
Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them
The waters of the River, strong and mighty—
The king of Assyria and all his glory;
He will go up over all his channels
And go over all his banks.
He will pass through Judah,
He will overflow and pass over,
He will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.
Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces!
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
Speak the word, but it will not stand,
For God is with us."
Fear God, Heed His Word
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me
that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
Do not say, `A conspiracy,'
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
He will be as a sanctuary,
But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And many among them shall stumble;
They shall fall and be broken,
Be snared and taken."
Bind up the testimony,
Seal the law among my disciples.
And I will wait on the LORD,
Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I will hope in Him.
Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me!
We are for signs and wonders in Israel
From the LORD of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.
And when they say to you, "Seek those who are mediums and wizards,
who whisper and mutter," should not a people seek their God? Should
they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the
testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.
They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall
happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse
their king and their God, and look upward. 22 Then they will look to
the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they
will be driven into darkness."
Dear God, be with Andrius and guide him into the completion of Your
work within himself and do release Your Spirit from his spirit to
his body and from his heart to his soul, so that the power of the
cross, of the resurrection, of the ascention and of the exhultation
of Your Anointed One may shine forth in all of victory over the
nature of sin and death...Amen to Your Yes in us all...
...all blessings be with us all...

Andrius,
I was listening to a radio interview of an expert in the Middle-East
and it got me thinking: "Why not hear Andrius on this radio show, to
describe his current activities in the Middle-East?" The name of the
show is: "The Current". Here is how I applied as they invite
submissions of stories on their website:
Sent to The Current of CBC Radio One on Nov 27, 06
What is the story?
Andrius Kulikauskas is US citizen born of Luthuanian parents. When
his parents returned to Luthuania after the downfall of the Soviet
Union, he moves with them, equipped with a phd in mathematics and
software programming knowledge and experience.
He opens up an Internet lab with the name Minciu Sodas, which means
Orchard of Thoughts.
From this basis, he learns to team up "The Public Domain" of the
Internet and the personal touch on the Internet for the sake of
creating a specialized gravity, by inviting independent thinkers from
around the world to organize their thoughts individually, in support
of each other's journey and projects, by using his lab's services.
Skipping many juicy details about his gravitational success, he is
now confident enough to be in Palestine, setting up a university
course, with the help of local professors, design to teach non-
violent Jihad to engage violent Jihad, as well as hoping to reach the
crux of the Israel-Arab conflict. You can view the current letter in
which he is reporting his work at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Minciu_Sodas_AR/message/139 and you
can follow his advances at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fightingpeacefully/Who are the main figures of the story?
All those people who contribute to develop this non-violent
university course along with Andrius, whose name you will see in
Andrius letters at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fightingpeacefully/ . Those are the
people of the story, which Andrius is currently writing about.
He makes this journey available for the whole world to witness and he
leaves a way to support this chartering of peace at his Internet lab:
http://www.ms.lt/Why is this an important story?
Because Andrius is seeking to open a reputable space on the front
line of the Middle-East's conflict, that could to generate a
quietening effect leading to a settling path for people who are
trapped in violence to apprentice the inner peace needed to engage
into non-violence. But if needed, I'd let you put the words to answer
that question, so that my subjectivity does not go out of CBC's
established boundaries...
How would you tell this story?
Cyber space knocking on reality's door in the flesh.
Viewed from the front line of humanity's either hope or despair...
If I could get my way with the help of CBC, the story would be design
to move from Radio one to CBC TV, from CBC to a co-production between
CBC-BBC-PBS of ...cleansing our vision of the Crown... by tuning in
with the movements of Be the Change and Make Poverty History with a
dramatized televised series to gather steam into the growing focus of
the Clinton-Gore-Macrae-Suzuki's sustainability crusade.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A4414457 and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/U1590685Much more details available upon request. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
PS: I am posting this request to Radio One in all the venues in which
I participate. You can google these places under my name, Benoitctr
and Benoit17.
Do you want to take a shot at producing this story?:
Yes
------------------
Dear God, I thank you for the opportunity and I ask You to carry on
to lead us in Your pleasure, so that our strength may go on with
joy...amen to Your Yes in all Your children...
...all blessings be with us all...
