What is Formal-Culture?
The People's Civil-Purpose
by Uncle Emanuel Watkins
The Final Writ of Three
Viewing all of the American homeless ragged out under the bridges today, I can imagine that their condition is very similar to how the early pilgrims once suffered. This is because a farmer in Europe back in those days already knew how to earn a living and therefore would not have been so inclined to make the dangerous journey to the New World to seek a better living for themselves. Oddly, in an attempt to raise their social status to that of the level of "gentlemen," it was in large part an abundance of master craftsmen and artisans from Europe who migrated over. As no customers had yet been established for them to sell their work or wares to and as there existed very few amongst them who knew how to grow the food necessary to support their social ambitions, this situation became a crisis.
Fleeing persecution, the pilgrims began arriving to the New World most notably during the year 1620 ACE with the greatest exodus happening after the year 1630 ACE as Puritans escaping religious persecution arrived on the shores of New England from mother England.
What out of this dire situation created the so-called "American work ethic"? Simply put, as a culture of master craftsmen and artisans had to learn to lower themselves to the level of farming, they set about this task with a passion, working six days a week, waking up early in the morning to do the chores like milking the cows, gathering the eggs, and so on, and working until late into the evening.
Eventually, children from these farms grew up to migrate to the cities to attend the universities of higher learning and to work in the factories. So, while leisure has always been a prerequisite of the ruling elite, the high quality of the work involved in providing that leisure was a standard established by those lowly working people seeking to advance themselves in society; likewise, while tyranny has never had to show up, it was the hopeful people who set the standard of showing up everyday and on time. When we are made to stand in long lines by tyranny, we aren't out there serving others in their quest to advance themselves. And schemes and rebellions are mapped out by those made to wait in long lines.
As a Christian, I believe it was the Truth that set us free as a nation and not the means of political manipulation. No wars or great leaders of them advanced my position out of bondage one bit. Though I am often decieved into thinking that real power comes from what we do, the true power comes from what we perceive within.
As mentioned often, the power of the people is absolute as it is established on a natural law. But this power is limited to 1) the people owning the dinner table (with this being all property and the purse, with the latter being the national economy), and (2) they have the right to divorce themselves out from under the rule of an unfit king or tyrant.
There should be no more ragging out of the people by forcing them to retreat back to living with their former families during disputes. If it is going to be a choice between either this way or the highway, then the solution will always be hitting the road. The solution will never happen by our reverting back to the former tyrannies of old; but, the solution will only happen by our abandoning this nation's counterfiet economy to instead move out with our nation's posteriety (children) to live bitterly under the bridges and in the parks of which we the people rightfully own.
As our true economy is our Civil-Purpose, the counterfeit one is every legal precedence, every past tradition, and every future event set up in contempt of it.
Stand in faith (against darkness) and walk in faith (away from it).
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ from under the bridges and from the parks and He is bound as our slave to come and serve us.
