The principle of democracy, itself, does not define the democracy as a fundamental type of government. Democratic governments frequently become tools for oligarchic domination. Elections are routinely bought with glittering campaigns, officials are bought with 'incentives' or extortions, public sentiment is manipulated through ownership concentration of the press and the media. The factor that distinguishes one type of democracy from another is the power of reason and mankind's commitment to it. The operating structure of democracy is a transitory structure towards a formalized commitment to fundamental Truth.
The formalized commitment to fundamental Truth had actually been well established at one point in history, where it had been functioning for a brief period. It came to light as the federal system of the United States of America that provided the financial, educational, and infrastructural platform for the development of the nation. This federated development platform brought together the kind of support and economic opportunities that individual states could never achieve in isolation.
The more advanced application of this 'reason' based system, would reflect itself as a World Development Organization that is founded on the same principles, but providing for the development of the world what individual nations, in isolation, cannot achieve. However, the federal component of a so structured reason based platform could not be such as to reduce the significance of individual autonomy. Instead it comes to light, logically, as a platform that necessarily increases man's dominion over the limiting aspects of nature through scientific and technological development, thereby increasing the range of man's sovereignty in life.
Appendix A2 shows the logical makeup of the Global Development Structure, standing in contrast to the Global Domination Structure. Its central term, which does not yet exists, would reflect its necessary nature as a reason based federated system functioning as a World Development Organization.
Logically, such an organization must have the same eight part foundation that reflects Mary Baker Eddy's architecture of the structure for the Key of David. Only in this case, this eight part foundation comprises all that is essential for human development. As shown in Appendix A2, each element of this structure now stands in total contrast to the respective element of the Global Domination Structure, the U.N. Structure. In the position, for instance, where the oligarchic domination structure requires a dual system of justice that separates the injustice of oligarchic pursuits from common justice, the development structure must reflect a corresponding concept, which obviously is Universal law. Nothing can be developed on a platform that hides the truth. The truth is not served by hiding evil, but by exposing evil and its contradiction to the fundamental principles of reality.
The term, Commitment to sovereignty, that represents the moral position, is especially important. The concept of sovereignty is largely understood in terms of national sovereignty. Except, national sovereignty has no meaning unless it unfolds from a much deeper level of upholding the individual sovereignty of man, especial the sovereignty of consciousness. Every form of Mysticism, which hides reason, is an attack on the sovereignty of individual consciousness. The mental sovereignty of man must be recognized and be protected.
The World Development Structure must also rest on Scientific development. We must develop in human thought a commitment to scientific enquiry; a commitment to discovery, to learning the principle of discovery; to create an infrastructure in consciousness for the development of reason; a commitment to classical humanist education; a commitment to the development of reason that Plato represented, that Christ Jesus represented, that Leibnitz represented, that Mary Baker Eddy represented, and that some people today represent - all of which stand in total contrast to the moral and cultural devolution that is so strongly promoted in modern times, which reflects itself in the devolution of universal education and the rise of elitism. While the humanist aspect of education is a universal one, that other elements share, its specific aspect of scientific development applies here.
