 %REDEMPTIVE MYTH DOMINATION SYSTEM POWER CONTROLED 040811

    To  facilitate both personal and communal  integrity;
i.e., to build-up-civilization  and  enjoy shalom --- the
following are steps which need to be taken:

    1.  Identify the deep roots of:  conflicts, violence,
coercion and domination.

    2.  Work to mitigate: conflicts,  violence,  coercion
and domination.

    3.  Work  to facilitate and promote:  reconciliation,
healing, civility, cooperation, and hospitality.

    4.  Work to  transcend:  greed, prejudice,   despair,
contentiousness, ignorance, and misleading-idealism.

    5.  Work  to  clarify  the  natures  of our:  values,
ideals,   motivations,    desires,    hopes, aspirations,
reasoning, myths, cosmologies and aspirations --- so that
we  can  all  cooperate  wherever  that is possible,  and
transcend non-essential differences.

    6.  Learn to  understand:  the  roots of the MYTH-OF-
REDEMPTIVE-VIOLENCE and  why IT has often tragically mis-
led  many COERCIVE,  VIOLENT and  DOMINEERING people  ---
and  then misled their victims who have responded IN-KIND
and/or   have   been  PASSIVELY: submissive,   resentful,
alienated, depressed, diseased and/or angry.

    7.  Learn   to   understand:   the   roots   of   the
reconciling-power of RESISTANCE which is non-violent, and
why  it  is essential  to practice/rehearse   resistance-
nonviolently  ---  long before it is  time to make use of
WELL-      ORGANIZED-RESISTANCE-WHICH-IS:     NONVIOLENT,
ASSERTIVE,   AFFIRMATIVE,  and occasionally COERCIVE  in-
gracious-ways.

    8.  Actually   organize  and  train  to   RESIST-NON-
VIOLENTLY  when domineering people seek to exercise undue
control-over   (or  domination-of)   isolated-vulnerable-
people through the concentration  of  excessive:  wealth,
power and/or influence.
