Loving God is a working group of the Minciu Sodas laboratory. Join our discussion list.

The idea is to welcome and engage God as an Investigatorius on equal terms with all participants of our laboratory, independent thinkers who care about thinking.

In such a sense, it is possible to open up a space for God. A working group is for us a space to organize ourselves around an investigator, foster their leadership and thrive with it.

There are also several serious matters? where God's vantage point is relevant and helpful, but especially as we look develop our willingness to challenge first ourselves but also others to grow.

Andrius Kulikauskas: In organizing this, I acknowledge that our lab is meant to serve all independent thinkers. I seek to include the full variety of outlooks that foster our shared value of caring about thinking. For many of us, God is not relevant or not real. But I believe that our ability to care about God - regardless what that might mean - is meaningful as another avenue for our caring.

Andrius: One of my activities here will be studying the Quran, looking for its central ideas and what universal meaning they may have. I am also interested in that as a path towards engaging Islamic independent thinkers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrius: Another activity, a bit delicate, is to do provocative readings of the Scriptures that we believe, as individuals. I start with Gospel provocations.

There is a major grant opportunity from the Templeton foundation, deadline is August 15, 2005. grant opportunity

Andrius, I just started as the moderator for: globaluop-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Dear all,

As the new moderator, I thought I would begin by demonstrating how I've gone about trowing my weight around into the open source of knowledge management of the internet. I tested the limits since 9/11, as they still seem to be invisible at the moment. So here is a letter I wrote, in my search for support to define the spectrum and rational approach to the equation of poverty-generosity-power. To do so, I wrote to a billionaitre's organisation named: Franklin Templeton:

Greetings to you all at Franklin Templeton, I am looking for guidance to materialize an invitation for socio-cultural healing in Canada. I am sending you a copy of the promotional submission I made to the SUFA review in Canada. SUFA stands for: Social Union Framework Agreement. It was signed in 1999 by the federal government, the territories and the provincial ones as well except for Quebec who have not signed the constitution neither. There is a review under way and my "sticking like a sore thumb" presentation is posted on their web site for public scrutiny. Their site address is: http://www.socialunion.ca/news/020499_e.html I am coming to you from the discipline acquired from the essence of Canadian wealth. I have no money. My wealth resides so far at 44, in the degree at which I remain, along with my love ones, within the progressive boundaries of the faculty of living. In other words, a healthy Canadian poor, is the most complete wealth that rationality can generally afford upon the earth. Once well establish, that concept has the potential to rise as the local model and direction for the rail road track of globalization, because it will supply inspiration, clarity and moderation. In macro economics terms, I propose to research and to develop the MAH-ING economic theory. It is the best name to identify the baby who must emerge from the clash that the Friedman influence causes upon the Keynnes holdings. Canada is the most efficient positioned to cover the distance from micro to macro with the built-in inspiration to ease the breathing of insecurity upon the populations, as its coming about grows from the bond's maturity, developed from refining the best of the Commonwealth and Asia. The discipline of this theory provides terrorists and their counter forces with a distraction from their captivity to the cause, and creates and avenue to ground the direction of their energies, renewed in health. The drive needed to reach a serious launch, can be found by funnelling the energies of discontent over globalization, into helping the consolidation of the Canadian unifying life style that exists as a result of 5 centuries of growth from the inter-action of English-French-Aboriginal, facilitated by the investment of the Canadian Mother and Father International Association, where the fuel of justice must burn on in grace and in truth, to shine on and on from the Glory of the Covenant. The progressive boundaries of the faculty of living are bulging at the seem of humanity's rule of ignorance, from the invisibility of the well perceived potential, to its material manifestation and institution. I'm looking your way, responsible people, because I thought you might see my pursuit as an interesting pet project to support. The immediate concern I have is to relieve my wife and 4 children from having to suffer the stand by position on the front line of change. I sure hope that this letter finds you all personally and in good health, as I believe that we can be personally inspiring to each other, if we meet where no one bows to Mammon nor to any of its principals, in order to do business. The following ttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/lovingGod/files/ is where you can read the promotion I sent to the SUFA review. I also include 2 emails messages that I sent to the Prime Minister's Office, who's personal name is at the centre of my promotion, and to Mr. Klein, Premier of Alberta, the province where I live. He is the first politician in Canada to have made complete use of the Friedman`s prescription to conquer the Keynnes. Thank you for your time and consideration, Benoit Couture.

Was I ahead of my time? As a former hockey player, I know that there are certain jobs where it is better to be scouted and drafted than to apply for the job. I hope that my application to Franklin Templeton back then was for the sake of being scouted and that this moderator job will somehow lead to the million dollar of that grant, just to determine how close I can get in deploying the open source trail to intelligence that will engage our humanity from self-destruction to self-control to community self-government.

It seems to me that between Minciu Sodas, Disruptive Mice, the Eu KnowledgeBoard? and my BBC site, there is enough alreaydy simmering to permit a million dollar try out of internet video production of grace and of truth aiming toward inviting her majesty Queen Elisabeth, Mr. Bush and Vatican to Canada for the renewal and up dating of democracy!?!?!?... Our job would simply be to stpo intelligence from being insulted never endingly by mismanagement of knowledge; simple enough to get the world wide Green political movement going perhaps? Benoit

Here is a letter from Andrius that is of the utmost importance to me, as it confirms that my Quest for home is at home. Andrius has engaged me to respond to the following invitation.

"Benoit, I think a next step would be to bring your material from your letters, perhaps at: http://www.openleader.com/index.php/LovingGod/Welcome I would very much appreciate your leadership there. Our wiki is a good place to digest your ideas and help us encompass them. Then we would be able to better understand what your key concept "experience of unity" means to you. We could consider your question "Within the experience of unity with God and one another, there is only one voice. How do we tune in on the web and from here to our living space?" And we could see how that relates to the very personal questions that you share with us, too. I also suggest, let's make an investigatory plan or "tuning into the experience of unity with each other and with God". How do we experience that unity? How do we tune into that experience? How might we explore that? I think that many of your practical wishes would be advanced by these questions. Our wiki is a good space to lay all that out. Thank you, Benoit! I encourage all of us to explore as you are.

I am hereby given by this letter, to be at home in my questing, until our travail of labor with the whole universe brings forth the revelation of the children of God. I dearly praise God for this opportunity and I thank Him that I will be carefully attended to along the way, by the mentorship from the likes of Andrius Kulikauskas and Chris Macrae.

OPENING PRAYER I now pray dear Father, that you allow us to know you by keeping us home with you, in the absolutue open source of wisdom, intelligence and with the guidance of knowledge in the freedom and discipline of your Spirit. Allow us all I pray, to be kept on being filled in the completion of your work in each one of us, who seek to worship you in spirit and in truth, in the all-inclusive revelation of your glory... amen ...

Andruis, I am engaged by your request, into a researching journey of:

LOVING GOD at MINCIU SODAS My task is to deploy the experience of unity into the lab in such a way that Minciu Sodas lab grows on to be where no one needs to teach no one about God because all get to know Him. His ongoing Covenant that transcends all man-made religions is that He, Himself puts His Laws into our hearts and spirits so that from the smallest to the greatest, all do know Him. I quote from the bible, but I know that God is not restricted by the bible in the way that fundamental Christianity holds. Be it when I do quote from scripture or with any other writing I do, it is always to serve the revelation which compelles our breathing in the eternal syncronicity of His life and nature, to inspire and to feed us in the Minciu Sodas's sequencing as He brings His presence here into our designing of... Independant thinker--living by truth--absolute ground--back to the root--unology--regional information coaching--just do it(Modo Fac)--ERDE--sticking our neck out--open leader--NewWork--one village--working in parallel--subsense publishing/promotion--public domain--open source KM global connection(BBC-CBC)--EU-Americas-Australia--global villages--China--Asia--Middle-East--UN ...and now, Father, we hereby bind all powers that do not seek you where you guide us, so that you may do so in all of the visible and invisible realm of activity. We also loosen all of being and doing into your presence, that you may keep us in the safety of your palm, in the hollow of your hand, thank you our God and Father, amen...

Andrius, can you see if this way of writing helps to implement our experience of unity? Andrius? Lets refine this sequence until complete focus and clarity substantiates from the essence of living meaning. Blessings and peace for now! Benoit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrius: Benoit, This is a great start, thank you! Your thought on God being with us and so we need not have to teach each other - that resonates with me.

Benoit: Andrius, what is resonating with you is the Word of God itself. See hoow the New Covenant is quoted as coming from the Lord at: http://bibleontheweb.com/Bible.asp Heb. 10 -13 There cannot safer ground for independant thinkers from the open Leader to guide us in managing knowledge intelligently... The magnatic North of each journey is the strength we get from His joy; the live and divine intimacy to proceed here and now at all times and places! Blessings and Peace Benoit
