 This document is derived from beliefs and views developed since 1973.

(BACKGROUND REVIEW)
 
    Human events long governed by necessity have historically related 
the innate interdependence of individuals to Nature, families and to
any constructed society which partake of the function of family.
Human worth is generally known and measured by its degree of conformity 
or readiness for compliance to any presentment of need by such entities 
rather than by the installation of agreements between equals.  
This attitude of social challenge has intitiated formalisation of life
through evidences such as law or prayer.  What are meant to be simple
and basic processes are complicated by external constraints which cause 
the individual to defer to that entity, now acting as competitor to the
person's original intents.
    Government and Religion, when these are institutionalised, perform 
damages to individuals by smothering self-initiative by compelling
devotion rather that nurturing creativity and character development. 
This simple situation is presented here as the root core to the age-old
conflict between privacy and public living.  Socialism and Capitalism
both are caused by escalation of the original fearful quarrel of man
versus his physical or social environment.  Religion in mankind is also
affected by this problem due to instinctive natural response to Nature
is often mixed with personality concepts; these issues of personality
fuel insecurity and thus attempts to contrive appeasing resolutions.
Genuine relationships with live personalities must be preserved and 
kept intact without imposing external priorities.  Genuine Religion,
especially original Christianity, is based not on organization but on
a relationship with the person Jesus Christ whose scripturally recorded
sacrifice prepared an amnesty not constriction or restraint for those
selecting loyal allegiance to him.  He, as an accepted God, does not
violate innate human nature.  He related a restoration process wherein
love, refreshing, cleanness, truth and honor are imparted and bestowed.
Healing in the heart is the non-institutionalised Christian message 
while rule implimentation characterises any institutional Religion.
    My personal struggle has followed this exact pattern; namely the 
transition from fear of the dictator under whose grip I was helpless
to hope in the deliverance power of the specific person of my choice,
who I would allow to rescue me.  All people require relief from the
confinements of external dominion by power users or control seeking 
clubs, corporations, governments or any such societies.  A proper use
for societies is to participate in magnifying and intensifying the hope
of the individual rather than reckless self-nourishment.

(TEXT STATEMENT)

    It is hereby resolved, that to overcome the injustice of fear and
needless human regret, the historic habit and implied policy of formal
institutionalisation of relationships must be abolished.  The private 
and public havoc which has relentlessly proceeded from interferences by
various forms of corporations must by the Will of freemen be relieved.
Anguish to create liberty has mistakenly been utilised unto the vain 
inventing of artificial cultures, kingdoms, constitutional governments 
and systems of behaviour geared to regulate or tame men rather than to
lift the layers of useless blind obedience that degrades human dignity.
Whether it be a matter of earthly practice or eternal faith, there is 
no place in a civilised world for the worst describable incivility:
the dominion of man over man!   Human conduct demands correction to 
reflect our intended great world objectives.  We freemen can undo the
insensitive and impersonal social, political and economic monoliths
by consenting to them no more and refusing them jurisdiction, venue and
access to our souls; which is even claimed as merchandise by deceivers.
Whether it psychological tyranny or social supervision, the constructs
of human design will extract human hope and return regret and grief.
    Announce that you don't adhere neither do you assent anymore to the
insistences of the rich and powerful; you're not available anymore for
slavery under their Admiralty/Maritime Martial rule or law; you won't 
follow their Mass media commands anymore; you refuse to buy with their
credit cards or believe with their contrived religions: you are free! 
Now as Sovereign men liberated by bravery and hope relinquish your 
allegiance to any of them and experience the joy of God's intended love
prepared for you that seek it by Jesus Christ The Lord!
