Peace, Force & Joy

"The Movement, defined as 'the organization which interprets the needs of the human being and produces the means to advance from the state of pre-determination toward that of liberty,' must be framed as a broad developing structure, which in turn generates specific organizations of human base that aim toward the same goal. The Movement also tends to orient and transform those existing organizational structures which reveal an aptitude to contribute to the general human development.

Internally, the Movement differentiates its functions into three areas: Structural, Administrative, and Support, and promotions to orientation and direction are made according to the concept of the 'effective work' or results achieved by its members."

The above paragraphs contain at least five concepts that need to be discussed:

1.1 The Movement produces the means to advance from the state of pre-determination toward the state of liberty.

The means the Movement is developing are numerous, and range from the structuring of a doctrine and a methodology of action to the organizing of concrete activities to reach its proposed goals.

1.2 The Movement is a broad, developing structure. As such, the Movement is an open structure in its mechanisms of admission and promotion. It allows the creation of new organizations of action in the human environment, and does not place limits on its membership growth, activities, and spatial expansion.

1.3 The Movement generates specific organizations of human base. The Movement is not based on economic, religious, or political entities. On the contrary, it is based on the human beings who are its members, and who participate and generate organizations (organisms) adequate for its development.

1.4 The Movement tends to orient and transform those existing organizational structures which have an aptitude to contribute to the general human development.

Certainly the Movement does not consider transformable those structures whose goals are distant from or oppose human development. However, the Movement is directed not solely to creating new organizations, but also to assisting those with acceptable goals which have not achieved direction or adequate potential, to fulfill their proposals.

1.5 The Movement differentiates its functions into three areas: Structural, Administrative, and Support, and promotions to orientation and direction are made according to the concept of the "effective work" or results achieved by its members.

In the Movement, a member orients the structures he or she generates. Thus, a person does not direct anything which has not been built through his or her own work. Even when peoples' dedication and effort may be meritorious, if their work is not effective, there will be nothing for them to orient.

Consequently, neither length of membership, friendship, money, nor family, political or any other kind of influence, will put anyone in charge of directing any level of the Movement.
