Voluntary society

Voluntary society

Society is people living together so that they are fruitful and not destroyed. A question is what and how is a community ordered. How is a free society bound together to make it strong enough to overcome the dangers and disasters of the world without jeopardizing the liberty of personal choice? Should society be formed from the bottom up by acts of service, love and mutual respect or top down through those who exercise authority through contracts, covenants and compacts?
Is the communion of a free society through charity or force?
Jesus was "another king" of a Society and community that made it possible for the people to survive and thrive during the decline and fall of the Imperial Cult of Rome.
History repeats itself but we have to understand its truths.
Abraham's society of friends and their Lively Stones of a Living Altar, before the witness of Melchizedek the righteous king of peace, were able to stop and defeat overnight an army from other societies that was ravaging local city states like perfect savages. They had formed an intentional community according to the perfect law of liberty. There are many mysteries revealed if we will have the patience to look and the courage to open our eyes and our hearts and our minds.

A voluntary society is one in which the right of the individual to make choices remains intact and un-infringed as long as they do not injure the rights of another.

The power to choose resides in every individual within the social structure of a family through which rights may be inherent.

All righteous government is by the consent of the individual. There are many forms and means whereby that consent may occur through the Nature Law.

In society there are standards, customs, and common practices established to protect those rights including prohibitions against stealing, killing or doing anything that may directly and or indirectly deprive other members of society of their right to pursue their own liberty to choose.

"Freedom is the Right to Choose, the Right to create for oneself the alternatives of Choice. Without the possibility of Choice, and the exercise of Choice, a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing.” Archibald MacLeish.

People living close to nature may be more aware of the cause and effect written in Nature itself which may be recognized as Natural Law.

They may also perceive because of this natural cause and effect that certain behaviors are more desirable to maintain a stable society that is capable of defending its members from threats both foreign and domestic. Those behaviors may be described as social virtues.

Such societies must reward virtue and discourage negative or non-virtuous behavior that may be called social vices. Lack of the practice of unselfish virtue may weaken individuals, breaking down the family, from which society is born, and undermine the social bonds and thereby degenerate society as a whole. When there is a degeneration of social bonds that should make society strong and viable against the forces of nature, usurpers or tyrants, the whole of society is threatened.

Any system, culture, custom, or practice which may restrict, relieve, reduces the responsibility of the individual may, and often does degenerate the life and viability of the spirit of liberty living in that individual and eventually even their perception of truth.

While a voluntary society is concerned with protection of the rights, health, and prosperity of all, they must also be aware of the need of morals, education(the accumulation of knowledge and skill), and the promotion of the general character of their fellow neighbor, both near and far.

They also know that they must express with some consistency concern for the well being of the poor amongst them, foreigner or sojourner who comes into contact with them, and even to the point of extending justice and mercy at times to their enemy.

While the needs of the many may seem to outweigh the needs of the one the sacredness of individual and that right to choose should outweigh the desires of the many or the rights of all will soon fall into condemnation and peril.

Social forces

Some societies where people care about themselves more than their neighbor will be tempted to insure what had been social bonds through contractual bonds including oaths of fealty, national allegiance, and systems of one purse. The Golden calf of the Bible was an example of consolidating the control of the wealth of society in the hands of a few.

Such systems do create the bands of a society but also produces fealty and with that power may become centralized and in the hands of the few, or in a democracy in the hands of the many at the peril of individual choice and liberty.

In a voluntary society there would be no taxation or tribute, no mandatory service nor systems of corvee. There would be no king to exercise authority and therefore no legal charity nor Corban provided by forced compliance.

All societies and members of society may have needs as individuals or families. It is the means by which society attends to these social needs which determines the nature and strength of its social bonds and therefore the health and liberty within society. It has been long understood that there is a human responsibility in every individual to attend to the honest needs of their fellow man.

We see this cause and effect expressed in the golden rule, in the sayings of wise social reformers like Moses and Jesus and others we think of the promoters of religion who said "love thy neighbor as thy self".

Religion in ancient times was often expressed in symbols and personalities through stories and myths but in essence it was defined as how you love the character of the Creator of life and how you cared and loved your neighbor as yourself. Pure Religion in the Bible was how you fulfilled that duty to your fellow man of justice and mercy without the use of force, or oaths of fealty the the governments of the world.

We are warned in the New Testament that we must not engage in covetous practices or we will become merchandise and curse children, our own and our neighbors. "Judge not" lest ye be judged suggests that if you judge it is okay to take from your neighbor then it must also be okay to take from you. Both early Israel and the early Church understood that desiring benefits at the expense of others was desiring the reward of unrighteousness and would lead us back into the bondage of Egypt.

It would seem that the Modern Church is ignorant of the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom which can set the living free in real ways today.

The religions of the world are suffering from their own Mass Formation Psychosis. It would seem that before "fake news" there was the "fake good news" that has caused false religion to justify the covetous practices of public religion and the welfare state.

Christ was clear that we were not to go to the governments and rulers who "exercise authority" one over the other even though they called themselves "benefactors".

It is the means of social welfare that will predetermine the out come of liberty in society through cause and effect built into Natural Law of the universe.

Proverbs tells us to put a "knife" to our throat before we eat at the table of rulers. Christians would not eat at that table of Rome because they knew if they bite one another they would be devoured. The early Christians would not eat the free bread of welfare state which was the Christian conflict with Rome. They knew it was a snare and a trap.

Polybius even told us before Christ that the masses would become perfect savages if they did not curb our appetite for benefits at the expense of our neighbor and the future of their children.

Whatever actions taken, as a society or nation, is the result first of individual choice of the exercise of charity and sacrifice rather than any form of collective or legal charity.

Can a society be just if it does not recognize some Intellectual property?

Is a fiction of law validly enforceable by consent?

Wickard v. Filburn = Roscoe Filburn grew wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The government regulated him supposedly because of the commerce clause of the constitution. He said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone "interstate" commerce.

The Supreme Court disagreed: "Whether the subject of the regulation in question was 'production', 'consumption', or 'marketing' is, therefore, not material for purposes of deciding the question of federal power before us.... But even if appellee's activity be local and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce and this irrespective of whether such effect is what might at some earlier time have been defined as 'direct' or 'indirect.'" Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942)

Should the state determine the meaning of the Constitution if the states created it?

James Madison, a Democratic Republican, was an anti-federalist who knew the States created the federal government and tried to limit it with phrases like 'necessary and proper' in Article 1, Section 8. But John Marshall said the Supreme Court shall decide what the constitution means, not the states and the state allowed him to redefined terms within it.

They concluded that 'necessary and proper' did not mean 'necessary and proper' but rather 'beneficial and convenient'.

Hamilton argued the same quoting from the Federalist Papers.

Does a contract make all signers in an Intentional community responsible for the actions of a few like an unincorporated association.

legal and civil law is not Natural law although you need Natural law to create a legal system.

Family rights are inherent property rights. Generational rights and responsibilities?

Was Abraham, Moses and Christ anarchist? One purpose of these ministers of the people was to proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants and return every man unto his possession, and return every man unto his family.

What "Laws, rules, regulations, and pronunciations" are expressable against the will of another. "The codification of law at Ur replaced the Ana Ittishu, which was the ancient equivalent of modern “words and phrases”, and was a part of an ancient system, preserving the “Sumerian Family Laws”."
