Science Of The Immortals
THE FOUR PILLARS OF 'CIVILISED SOCIETY'
The "legitimacy" of a government - or for that matter, even The State itself can be "determined" - by its "success" or "failure" - to honour the Social Contract - between those who Rule and those who are the Governed. This is not just a "political principle" - but one of Cosmic "significance" - since 'The Cosmoi' - is a "Hierarchy" and it is "sustained" in part - by observance of the "Principles of Order" and "Justice." With respects to the art and science of government - this finds expression in the concept of a Social Contract between the Ruler and its Peoples.
​
The Social Contract is multi-faceted - since it must be "represented" - by means of a correspondence - in all aspects of Human Existence - in this case the Peoples of a Nation.
​
How is this expression of the Social Contract "principally" manifested visibly - in the life of a Nation? It is through the "Provision" by those in Power - abstractly and concretely - provision of protection of the Peoples - and so considered externally, there is the provision of safety from harm - by "external forces." This can be regarded as part of the Social Contract - and so - a legitimate Ruler must be able to provide for its Peoples - safety against "external threat."
​
Within The State - the Ruler has the obligation for the provision of what is known as the "Four Pillars of Civilised Society." ​​​​​​​
"FOUR PILLARS"
1. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO LAW AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE
This is an expression - in the most practical way possible - that the Law of the Land is an expression of Justice.
​
2. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT CLEAN AND WHOLESOME FOOD AND WATER
This is an expression - that the Ruler - has the capacity and the worthiness to serve its People.
​
3. THE RIGHT TO SHELTER IN THE FORM OF HOUSING AND/OR OTHER FORMS OF ACCOMMODATION
This is an expression that there is "Order" - in The State - for without the provision of shelter for all its People - how can a State be regarded as "ordered" - how can individuals pursue their individual pursuits - an expression of why they are here - without the ability to secure - within their own "Kingdoms" / "Queendoms" - namely their homes - that which they have created - earned - have by way of legitimate right - the home for all - is an expression that all is well in the land.​
​
4. THE RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE AND ACCESS TO THE MEANS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFE
A sickly People will be overun soon anyway? - Therefore, what responsible Ruler - would not provide for the Health of his or her People?
​
These are the "Four Pillars of a Civilised Society" - without which there is no "civilization" - and there is no right to Rule a People.
