INTRODUCTION TO
TENETS
FOR A NEW DEMOCRACY
The
time has come for humanity to engage
at a higher level of understanding with the principles that form the
basis for a sane society and for a democratic government. These
principles are ancient in origin but take on new meaning at a time when
ideology has replaced principle, and when the underpinnings of
government are infused by motives that have strayed far from the
practices of democracy. The 'Tenets for a New Democracy' are meant to
rebuild and restore faith in the principles by which men are governed,
with the ideal held firmly in place that government exists to serve the
people rather than the people to serve the government. 'Tenets for a
New Democracy' stands as an eternal monument to what humanity can
achieve if it sets a course for the nobility of idealism that was
always present in its most notable documents, and especially in those
documents that were given at the founding of the United States of
America.
We, of the Realms of Light, offer the
Tenets for a New Democracy at this time to the beloved children of the
earth and not just to those of the American continent, for they
represent a shift in both mankind's consciousness and in mankind's
capacity to embody these principles. They are the verbal and conceptual
expression of a great and wondrous transformation that is occurring on
the earth at this time that will take place with ever greater
visibility as time passes. We bless the earth in its transition into
light, and offer these principles as the new foundation for a New
Republic of America.
