CRITICAL ISSUES FOR ASSEMBLY

If we are to be successful in providing for ourselves and our posterity a government that is truly of the people, by the people and for the people, there are certain issues or areas that we must master, or qualities that we must demonstrate.  I have divided them into six major areas.

SPIRITUAL SENSE

The first I will refer to as spiritual sense.  Everything starts with God, our creator.  It is to Him that we look for our salvation.  We all must understand that the battle going on is between good and evil, and that evil cannot stand when good is all powerful.  There is a world-wide spiritual awakening going on where those whose spiritual sense is active are aware.  But human religious doctrines divide us, and the luciferians have been using that divide against us for years.  For example, you might offer a prayer of petition, asking God to do something. While you are doing that, I am offering a silent prayer of affirmation, an acknowledgement that because God is omnipotent and divine Love, He already knows our needs before we ask Him and has already supplied it.  Are we working at odds?  Not really, because we are both acknowledging where our salvation lies, regardless of separate beliefs about God’s character and how He operates. We do not need to get into an argument about which doctrine might be correct. Thus, it is spiritual sense and not doctrine that we must express.

And another point.  Although our government comes from God, and all of us must be relying on spiritual sense, our assemblies’ operation is secular—without religious basis.  It is God-based, not religion-based.  There is a difference.  Assemblies operate in the people’s common law, which is defined in our state Covenant as being an expression of “scripture of all stripes”, and  founded in common sense given to all of us by God.  We do not operate in canon law—church law—which derives from doctrinal teachings.

MORAL FORTITUDE

Next, we must have moral fortitude.  We must have the strength of conviction to consistently do what is right.  This is the demonstration of what our individual spiritual sense is telling us.  Our government was founded upon the principle that a moral people is required for self-government.  We may have selfish motives, or a personal sense of what we, individually, would like to see.  But at all times the good of the whole must be foremost.  This is not a sacrificing of oneself for the good of the whole—that theory is anathema to common law.  Rather what we are talking about are the two great commandments given to Moses by God, reaffirmed by Jesus, and expressed in the scriptures of all the religions and spiritual paths of the world that God has inspired. Those two great guidelines tell us that we needed to love God and love our neighbor as ourself.  So, we demonstrate the qualities of Love in our assembly work, practice what we preach, hold accountable those who do wrong, and courageously address the issues with honesty, integrity, morality, tenacity—with moral fortitude.  We always conduct ourselves in peace and honor.

One quality very much needed is patience and forbearance with one another.  We are all at different stages of experience and education, and we do not have a lot of experience working together in people’s assemblies.  So, we need to be patient with one another as we all learn this renewed process of self-government.

DISCERNMENT

We would err egregiously if our moral fortitude is used to fight for an immoral cause.  We must exercise discernment, to both recognize and know the difference between right and wrong.  The people of America, and the rest of the world for that matter, have been deceived in many, many ways over many years.  We must use our God-given common sense, and our spiritual sense to uncover what has been hidden, to understand what is right, and hold to it; to uncover the wrong, and properly deal with it.  At this point, to fight for the wrong thing, because we did not take the time to investigate the facts in order to discern the truth, would be a terrible tragedy.  We must use discernment.  We must distinguish between the unreal and what is real—the truth.  Know that nothing unreal is true.  And then only act having all of the facts.

The people’s de jure assembly is the body politic that expresses the will of the people, to be carried out by the public servants in the government doing the work of the people and protecting the people’s rights.  The majority vote that formalizes that will of the people should be supported by an individual’s clear discernment when making that vote.  Every single individual has a duty before they vote of having the moral fortitude to do the right thing, and the practiced discernment to know what the right thing is.  And one vote in a trial jury can make the difference between an innocent or guilty verdict, and the consequence to the defendant affecting his or her life.

EDUCATION

We have determined that education is the key.  Jesus told us that the “Truth will make us free.”  Now he prefaced that with, “If ye follow in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the Truth and the Truth will make you free.”  So, we have already stated that spiritual sense is needed—we look to God—and that moral fortitude is needed—follow the word.  A disciple is a student.   So as disciples we are given the promise that we will know the truth.  And the truth will make us free.  There is a great need to search diligently for the truth, the reality.  We must understand history, so as not to repeat the bad, but continue the good.  We must understand common law, which is the glue holding society together in unity.  We must understand how the law is applied, and the rules of operation of our assemblies, our juries, our courts, and our society in general.  And, once we have properly learned, we have a moral obligation to teach.  If we truly love our fellow man, we want him to benefit from knowing the truth.  This is not just a religious tenant, this is our moral fortitude in operation.  This is the required demonstration of Immanuel, or ‘God with us.’  We must learn what we need to know, and then we must teach it to others.

For those just being introduced to this concept of a government that actually acknowledges and protects our unalienable rights and participating in jural assemblies, you should know that the rest of us are doing everything we can to develop educational presentations and materials, to direct others to historical resources, and to encourage self-education.  New members in particular, but all are included, in a requirement to self-educate.  For too many years we have been spoon-fed information from corrupt sources and mind-controlled to simply accept as reality what we are told.  Using our God-given common sense and discernment we can discover for ourselves the reality.  But the tendency to sit back and let others do the work must be dealt with.  Too many, for too many years, have literally sat on the couch and relied on others to do what they should have been doing for themselves.  If you are not individually, actively seeking the truth, you are not fulfilling the role of true citizenship required of a free people.  Those contemplating joining our assemblies must first search out what we are telling you you must understand, and then study it in order to take it to heart.

ORGANIZATION

We need organization.  Everything cannot happen all at once, and we need order, efficiency and effectiveness in our assemblies, so we need structure and rules.  We need rules to follow to protect peoples’ rights while we effectively work together for the common good.  The assembly as a body politic is a deliberative body.  Deliberate means “to fully consider; not impulsive.”  So, we need foundational documents which everyone understands, such as our individual and settlement covenants, we need organizational documents, such as our Formation, Operations & Functions Bylaws, and operational rules, such as Rules of Order.  I like to say that “rules are our tools”.  We all must understand our documents, their meaning and intent, and how they fit together.  If we are to suppress the impulsive, then we must have a process that forces us to effectively, efficiently, and inclusively deliberate.  We all must know the organization and the rules so that we can fulfill our moral obligation to properly participate.   To do what we promise to do when we make pledges or take oaths of office. The foundation, the organization, and the rules keep us from slipping into anarchy (with no government) or tyranny (too much government).

That moral duty to participate cannot be exercised properly without the proper organization to operate within.  And that organization structure is first created with written documents.  Everyone must realize that words are expressing thoughts.  The language being placed on the paper must properly reflect the thought.  The correct words to be used make a difference.  For example, the word “lawfull” is distinguished from the word “legal”.  They are not synonyms.  Our state covenant contains several pages of definitions—making sure that the use of specific words cannot be misunderstood.  We must be educated in our language, etymology, and grammar beyond what has been so inadequately taught by our schools in recent years.

FOCUS

If we are to be deliberate and not impulsive, then we must focus on what is important.  This focus is the last issue in my categorizations.  We are all aware, in varying degrees of the great harm that has been done, and at this moment is still continuing.  There are many of us involved in the jural assemblies that have sharp personal experience with this harm, and the horrendous evil beliefs behind it.  But our focus cannot continue to be on the harm and on those who have harmful intent.  We have been doing that in varying degrees for many years, without much success in our endeavors.  This was primarily because the entire evil had not been uncovered.  But just because it has been uncovered does not mean that now our efforts will be successful.  The problem is that our tools are not designed to be effective against a tyrannical corporate structure supported by luciferian beliefs and orchestrated by an elite few.  We need to stay focused on the understanding that it is the people assembling and implementing a government truly of the people, by the people and for the people that will allow us to remove for all time the tyranny currently being imposed on us.  We do not trespass on the corporate structure.  We only communicate with them via public notice.  We do not taunt them or try to retaliate.  What we are doing is using our God-given rights to provide for ourselves and our posterity a government of, by, and for the people.  Once that is in place, we will be able to fully exercise our sovereignty and control a government that protects our rights.

It is personally dangerous, and it can also destroy an assembly, to impetuously act against the corrupt corporate structure prematurely.  In fact, once we are fully assembled the de facto government will totally lose its power over us.  Then, the grand juries, using common law, can do their work holding accountable those that have knowingly done harm.

What I am talking about when referring to focus is really a paradigm shift in thought.  We need to start thinking from the standpoint of being free sovereign people, functioning as electors.  We are not slaves of a corrupt government rebelling against that tyranny, using common law against statute law.  Now to be able to operate properly, with the proper focus, we need to assemble.  Until we have fully assembled we cannot focus correctly, we do not have the tools we need, and we will not be successful in counteracting the evil.  By not being assembled we are delaying our salvation from the corrupt tyranny.  Every ounce of effort and thought we put in the wrong direction deprives our country to that extent of where we could be if properly focused.

We must concentrate our thought, our energy, and our time on every particular detail needed to properly, lawfully, permanently establish our assemblies and the type of government that can truly be of benefit to all.

SUMMARY:

So, in summary, we must rely on God, as our spiritual sensereveals Him to us, for our salvation, our security, our government.  Then we must exercise the moral fortitude to always do the right and to resist the wrong.  To do that we must use discernment to distinguish between right and wrong.  True citizenship requires not just a moral and virtuous people, but also an educated one.  Therefore education, and particularly self-education is a requirement.  But an assembly does not just sit there—it must act.  In order to act there must be organization, which includes a foundational structure upon which it stands, a mechanism to operate, and rules for efficient and effective operation.And that action must be focused in the right direction and in the right way.

The jural assemblies, the de jure grand juries extracted from them, and the militia to protect the people are the three required elements of self-government.  Those who take the step of signing and committing to the jural covenant of office become members of the assembly and qualified electors.  They select our government servants, and from them are selected grand and petit jury members.  It is an honor and privilege to be a member of a de jure assembly.  And it carries with it a solemn responsibility to strive to be the most virtuous and educated we can be.  To be demonstrating our highest sense of right and selflessness.
