    The  power  of  RESISTANCE  which  is  NONVIOLENT  is
founded upon the following realities which belong to real
people   living   authentic   lives   within   sanctuary-
communities of LOVE, POWER, JUSTICE and TRUTH. They shake
the foundations  of the entrenched Fallen-Powers-That-Be,
because   they  have  the  "Power-To-Be-Themselves"    in
"Authentic-Ways" --- and understand how and why it is so.

    The  perceived  merits of a decision,  a   course  of
action,  a plan, a goal, a doctrine, a teaching, etc. ---
depend  upon  the natural-consequences which flow because
of  it  ---   within-the-given-context-situation.     The
commonly   pereceived  meanings  and   significances   of
virtually all  words,  statements and actions ---  depend
upon:

1.  Traditions and creative new integrations.

2.  Intentions, motivations, expectations, & responses.

3.  Natural, more than humans' contrived-consequences.

4.  How gracious, cooperative and civil people are.

5.  How free people are to be honest and intimate.

6.  How well people learn from their own experiences.

7.  How well people understand natural causes & effects.

8.  Objective, subjective and reflexive realities.

9.  Consequent alienations, reconciliations & healings.

    The  perceived  merits of a decision,  a   course  of
action,  a plan, a goal, a doctrine, a teaching, etc. ---

        DO NOT DEPEND EXCLUSIVELY OR PRIMARILY UPON:

1.  The wills and intentions of domineering-people.

2.  Experts, authorities, technocrats, or scriptures.

3.  What has happended in the past in "high" places.

4.  The most powerful, wealthy and posessive people.

5.  Coalitions and the concentrations of power.

6.  People who resort to violence and coercion.

7.  The use of dishonesty, deceit or pretentions.

8.  The preponderance of the power to intimidate.

9.  The motivations of the most fearful people around.

    Be aware-thinkers, and beware of those who are not.
