      The  Judaeo-Christian  religions (which include  the
Muslim  religion)   focus  upon worshipping God  with  our
hearts, minds and souls.

      1.  DOMINEERING-PEOPLE  tend to interpret this FIRST
COMMANDMENT  as  saying what we should DO-TO our  own  and
other people's hearts,  minds and souls ---  as objects of
sacrifice.   Domineering people tend to focus upon what is
DONE-TO  our  collective of hearts,  minds  and  souls  as
OBJECTS-OF-SACRIFICE;    where  the  INTEGRITIES  of   the
OBJECTS-OF SACRIFICE are DESTROYED; i.e., DIS-INTEGRATED.

      DOMINEERING-PEOPLE  see God as THE ONE  who  demands
the sacrifice of the integrities of our collective hearts,
minds and souls;  and so domineering people see god as THE
ONE  who  demands  the  sacrifice/disintegration  of   the
integrities of our relationships.

      This  view  is in keeping  with  domineering  people
seeking  the  worship of God in terms of OBEDIENCE  and/or
CONFORMITY   to   laws  and  GOD'S-IDEAL-FORMS   for   the
MANUFACTURE  of  our:  attitudes,  assumptions,   beliefs,
intellectual-assent, and patterns of "reasoning".

      This view facilitates and mis-leads "believers" into
patterns  of SUBMISSION-TO "The-Domination-System"   which
domineering people worship as God.

      2.  TRUE-LOVERS  tend to view  THE-FIRST-COMMANDMENT
as CALLING-THEM-TO-BE-INTIMATELY-TOGEHTER-IN-RELATIONSHIPS
which   are   characterized  by:    abundance,    balance;
cooperation,  collaborations,  civility,   communications,
complementations,   compliments;   diversity,    dialogue,
doubts;  humility,  hospitality,  honesty,  honor,  humor;
integrations,    integrities,    insights,    inclusively,
initiatives; generosity, grace; justice;  kindness;  love;
moderation, modesty; patience; questioning;  reservations,
reverence;   silence;   tolerance;  unity;  visions;   and
welcomes.

      True-Lovers' views reveal God as THE ONE who invites
their  integrations of our hearts,  minds and  souls  into
healthy communities/sanctuaries where all participants see
God  as THE ONE who demonstrates  SACRIFICIAL-SERVICE  and
the SACRIFICE-OF AND/OR LETTING-GO-OF-PREOCCUPATIONS-WITH:
absolutes,  blustering; coercion,   controls,  conditions;
demands,   destruction;  exclusivity,   faulting,   greed;
heaven,  hell; individuals, isolation; jealousy,  killing,
limiting,   oppositions;   prescriptions,   proscriptions,
terrorism; violence; wars and yelling.

      True-Lovers'  views reveal God as preoccupied  with:
Love and the creation of true sanctuary-communities within
which  ALL-PARTICIPANTS  enjoy sharing free gifts  of  the
freedom  to  be safety-vulnerable  within  intimate/honest
relationships where all participants facilitate, encourage
and    welcome:    abundance,    balance;     cooperation,
collaborations,         civility,          communications,
complementations,    compliments;   diversity,   dialogue,
doubts;  humility,  hospitality,  honesty,  honor,  humor;
integrations,    integrities,    insights,    inclusively,
initiatives;  generosity, grace; justice; kindness;  love;
moderation,  modesty; patience; questioning; reservations,
reverence;   silence;   tolerance;  unity;  visions;   and
welcomes  which transcend and undermine "The Fallen Powers
That Be: in the serve of "The Domination System".

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
