National Framework
The Age of the Reign of the Golden Rule
— Love Your Neighbor as Yourself —
Civilisation building is a critical component in the growth process and long term survival of a planet. Mortal man is constantly facing challenges and the consequences of being stuck in the middle, between personal growth and societal/civilisational growth (the real middle man in a sense). Before a planet is finally settled in Light and Life — which Earth is still far from — there arises many conflicts and tensions in the hearts and minds of mortal men when it comes to balancing the individual and societal aspects of life — and achieving that balance is an essential part of the process.
While individual free will has pre-eminence in general, today we are face-to-face with some very difficult civilisational situations that sometimes necessitate imposing certain circumscribed limits on individual free will, for the sake of the greater good. Our God given free will has always come with certain built in limitations, the main one being that individual free will cannot be allowed to transgress against the overall growth process of civilisation aiming to reach Light and Life status.
Yes, personal freedom is valuable above all else, and free will provides abundant opportunities for personal growth without jeopardising the greater good. Yet there is also a critical need for collective service that promotes the building of a healthy and stable civilisation. Both types of service are required, and this is where religion is the gold standard. Only good religion (true ekklesia) can stimulate man to participate in both types of service while keeping them in balance with adequate ethical checks and balances. An essential part of the Golden Rule is that our individual rights end where another's rights begin.
Religion is a twofold blessing. It stimulates mankind along the path of personal service to his fellow man, and it simultaneously applies the brakes of ethics and wisdom when the collective efforts of science, philosophy and institutions are accelerating too quickly, or headed in the wrong direction.
A Time of Transition
Jesus led mankind into the age of Father worship. Over and over He repeated the same instruction, "don't worship me, worship the Father". For 2,000 years the focus has been on Father worship, even now. That's why the most sacred aspect of today's churches is still the worship service.
Now mankind is facing the next major step in its collective growth. Take all the lessons learned from the ages of knowledge, counsel and worship, and extend them into the pinnacle of progress, the 5th planetary age — the dawning age of wisdom.
THE 4 LEVELS OF PERSONAL VALUES
Growing inward 
Reaching outward
Personal growth is the essence of Light & Life
The 9 Light and Life Categories
It is the responsibility and duty of true religion (ekklesia) to provide ethical and wise guidance to the major aspects of civilisation, these being:
- Race & Biology
- Economy & Finance
- Language & Education
- Ethics (moral code)
- Governance
- Religion
- Family
- Culture
- Personal Growth (the bedrock of the foundation, the Spirit within)
This chart explains how the ethics process works.
When secularism breaks the bonds of ekklesia, it threatens to establish a new and godless control of men. Secularism discards ethics and religion for politics and power. Secularism ignores God. Once that happens technology can be easily weaponized.
Mentally
- Mankind understands time through the concepts of calendars, years, seasons, months, weeks and days.
- Mankind understands space through the concepts of areas, places, locations within a 3 dimensional construct.
Spiritually
The Covenant instructs man to individually worship God the Father as the Creator of time and space by using our God given personal free will in the pursuit of the three greatest eternal values: truth, beauty and goodness.
Religiously
- The Covenant instructs man to collectively worship God the Father as the Creator of time through the observance of the Holy Days.
- The Covenant instructs man to collectively worship God the Father as the Creator of space through the observance of the Feasts. When combined, Feasts and Holy Days express and foreshadow the fullness of the Covenant, and they provide the milestones indicating mankind's overall progress through the Light and Life process.
Covenant Fidelity = good balance and alignment with Light and Life requirements.
- Unbridled liberty makes the Covenant too flexible to support itself.
- Legalism makes the Covenant too rigid to be adaptable.
- Rebellion contaminates the Covenant with wrong technique and lack of vision.
