We must accept that for many, a world that focuses on living life differently, simply doesn’t make any sense. Just because they cannot see it, doesn’t mean that it cannot exist. Likewise, just because we may only be able to see the future in the same context of how we understand everything in the World around us works today, doesn’t mean that we cannot think differently and embrace what will soon become necessary for everyone – no matter what we might currently believe.

Governance should always be as light-touch as possible. In so far as it is possible, people must always be allowed to set their own life rules.

However, the success of New Earth or the New World will be based upon us all agreeing upon, working with and committing to governance frameworks that provide the necessary direction, standards and security, so that people and their communities can thrive.

These are the 11 Principles of A Community Route

1. Economic Localism
2. Freedom does not hinder and is not hindered in any way
3. People First
4. No Hierarchies. Top-Down is at its end
5. Local People MUST make Local Decisions Locally & influence from The Grassroots-Up
6. Local Businesses buy, sell and promote Local Goods first
7. Every link of the supply chain must add value
8. Money or currencies have a fixed value and are only used as a medium of exchange
9. Technology: A tool to improve life, not end it
10. The Internet is a tool for life, not an alternative to it
11. In a People First system, the people will always be the first to speak.

In the 11 chapters that follow, we will go through each of these Principles, one by one.

Every community must be able to make rules that are considerate of the different dynamics that relate to it, but which sit outside and beyond the specific requirement for every individual to enjoy their own freedom and the related right to exist.

These might relate to very practical measures such as the infrastructure that exists, the types of foods that can be grown or produced in the area, or other ways in which its own economy or local marketplace works.

People should always be treated and respected as adults, and given every opportunity to choose, without unnecessary rules, regulations and laws that seek to control – that would only exist for the benefit of those who write or set them.

Genuine frameworks are principles that do not need to be changed, whereas rules, regulations and laws tend to be dynamic and must be updated to reflect changes and times.

Rules, regulations and laws are always open to interpretation and to abuse. If we want the New Earth or New World to work in a balanced, fair and just way for everyone that always puts People First, it is the principles that need to work, to be consistent, universal and reliable, before anything else.

Finding our way to a New Earth or New World where everything is balanced, fair and just for all, may in the first instance sound as if it’s all about making a load of different rules or laws.

What we need to see and understand is that this is exactly how the World around us acts right now. We have government at all levels pursuing more and more rules, to support and enhance the rules that they already didn’t need to set for us before, and we have an entire system of government and a public sector that is obsessed with creating laws for laws sake, and taking responsibility for more and more areas of life that they have no right to, just so they can justify who they believe they are.

Anarchy and the non-existence of any rules or laws at all, are the opposite extreme. And whilst there will always be those who will argue that being able to do whatever they like without fear of punishment would be a much fairer place to be, the reality is that for everyone to be genuinely happy, healthy, safe and to feel secure continually and all of the time, there will always be a need for a system of governance or rules set by the community being governed, for that community and by that community, in every possible respect.

Real freedom at a personal or individual level, is the freedom to be, to do, to think as we wish – without any of that encroaching or interfering with the same right to freedom for everyone else.

That freedom covers many different things and is a world in itself. But that world that is personal to us all is dependent upon factors that will always sit outside of ourselves and outside of our control.

It is to ensure that these outside influences always remain fir, balanced and just in their influence upon us – many of which we would never normally see – that a framework of rules, based on principles and values for a People First and values based life must be created and then protected to ensure that it always exists.

You are here because at the very least, you know deep down or unconsciously that things in our lives are changing and that no matter how ‘normal’ everything around you now appears to be, there is nothing ‘normal’ about any of it. You know that things have been feeling less and less ‘normal’ for a very long period of time.

The chances are that you are both a rational and sensible person and that whether it’s politically correct to say so or not, you possess what we used to be able to freely and openly call common sense.

However, it is just as likely that you cannot consciously see anything changing or deviating that much away from what you think of as being ‘normal’. That anything that seems out of sorts, will somehow be resolved. That everything will return to being how it always has been – just like it was before.

The hard reality that we all face is nothing will ever be the same as it has been.

Furthermore, we must also understand that the kind of change that is now underway, is happening, bit by bit, and in steps or in stages that in themselves will appear to arrive very quickly. But they are also taking place one at a time.

The truth that we face is that when the moment comes that the majority awaken to the reality that substantial change has already taken place, we will already be facing a situation where we no longer have the luxury of enough time to rationalise why everything has happened as it has.

We will not be able to press pause on events so that we can consider what steps we then need to take very quickly. IF, that is, we want our future to be one that is genuinely free, where we all have freedom of choice, and where health and happiness are the new ‘normal’ for everyone.

Balance, fairness and justice with humanity in our relationships is voluntary and must therefore be a reasoned choice. And that means people must be ready to lead the way and be the voice of reason that many other people will need in the  immediacy of the moment when the direction of the world switches and through chaos, we are all facing a very different way.

A Community Route is here to help you and help your community then, when everyone is awake. But it is also here to help you and those within your community who are already awakened or are awakening to what is happening around us all now.

It is essential that every one of us understand and accept that in isolation, tackling any one or just a certain number or fraction of the problems that need to be addressed will not be enough.

Cherry picking the issues that we personally believe to be the most important will not be sufficient to facilitate or even open the door slightly’ to the comprehensive and meaningful change that we must now have, if we are to achieve the goal of creating a New Earth or New World that is balanced, fair and just for all.

One view or just a handful of views will not engage all of the people and the entire communities that they are part of in the way that we all need them to become engaged, IF we are to have a fighting chance of achieving the kind of change that we all so desperately need throughout the UK and across the World.

Please be aware. Whatever your specific view and the view that you share with others who share that specific view might be, that view will not be devalued or cancelled out by recognising, understanding and accommodating the different views of others. Quite the opposite in fact.

It is by recognising and then implementing the rules, systems and procedures that will work for us all to facilitate fairness, balance, justice and freedom for everyone, all within a clear governance framework – but by not allowing anything more – that we can create a New World or New Earth that allows and encourages us all to be happy, healthy, human in all relationships, and at peace with who we genuinely are.

It is only by launching, developing and evolving a framework of rules that allow real democracy, based on True Localism to grow, flourish and thrive – and to then protect those principles in every genuine way that we can, that we will be able to live the kind of life that we want to do so. Both freely and unhindered, without our own freedom hindering others, and within a societal model that correctly puts people and humanity first.
