Now, having established this, the definition for the river adds a unique facet to the way the nation-state comes to light.  The part of the definition that speaks about "the 'woman' acknowledged..." as it relates to the spiritual idea (the woman of the Apocalypse, clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelves stars) gives the function of the nation-state a very specific quality and characteristic.  The river brings into association a tall image of man that is reflected in the nation-state, that provides a platform for stability, that also provides the power that drives development.  Whatever rests on Science and fundamental Principle is not transitional, but if firmly rooted, which stability is essential if the human potential is to develop.

Here, the root of the nation-state unites with the root of Scientific Christianity, which focus is set on developing the infinite potential of man as divine image, on bringing to light what constitutes the reality of man's being.  Here we find creativity, sensitivity to fundamental principles, and the ingenuity to apply them for the advance of civilization.

Scientific Christianity and the Sovereign nation-state are historically linked.  The idea of the nation-state evolved through the developments of the Renaissance, while the Renaissance itself evolved on the scientific concept that man is made in the image of God, the Creator, which is rooted in Christianity.  Both concepts represent a fundamental completeness, or correctness, and whatever is correct is at the highest form possible, which applies to both concepts.  Naturally, one cannot go beyond what is correct, nor should one be satisfied with anything less.

Of course, there exist lesser structures than the nation-state, that correspond to earlier stages in the development of civilization, such as the primitive structure of ethnically centered tribalism.  While these tribal structures were useful in their time and the prevailing circumstances, they are far from able to furnish the strong support that is required for mankind to drive the scientific and technological development progress that is necessary to maintain the dynamic unfolding of mankind towards the infinite.

Tribalism provides a very limited development platform that corresponds to a living-standard marked by toil, deprivation, poverty, exposures to climatic variations, disease, and frequently famine, and most of all a very low potential population density with a shorter span of life.  It would be ironic that this primitive platform should be idealized and be put high on the world-political agenda to be re-established at all cost, were it not for the fact that the driving force behind this glorification of primitive existence is the oligarchic elite whose hidden policy is to reestablish some modern form of feudalism and colonialism in the wake of the destruction of the nation-state.

The glorification of tribalism is cleverly deployed as a battering ram against technological development - against the very foundation of the nation-state that furnishes the greatest force for human development.  In fact, the war against the nation-state and human development is so professionally conducted in this age, by the most able servants the elite can capture into its fold, that it is often difficult to read the truth behind the lines, unless one is aware of what the truth really is.  Even the nation's legal system is being used as a weapon against itself.  The legal system is drawn into the act through native people's land-claim movements, which are an ideal lever for breaking the nations apart, which process the oligarchy pursues vigorously throughout the world, using the tribal platform as a a battering ram to the destroy the foundation of modern civilization.  The native people, themselves, as always, are used as cannon fodder to stand at the front line of fire.  So efficient has the oligarchy been at stirring up the land-claims pot, that the various tribes (officially known as the First Nations) in the province of British Columbia, in Canada, according to newspaper reports, lay claim to 110% of the total land-mass of the province.
