Organizations free of rules and restrictions

Every organization is free and autonomous in itself. There will be no regional or provincial organizations ruling over them. These organizations may take direction, inspiration, and guidance from the center, in order to set their direction according to the philosophy of our center. This guidance, however, shall have no conditions. Our movement for creating a new era is a system: it is a philosophical blueprint, a prescription of a new way of thinking and a new way of conducting ourselves. This system is clear of any rules and restrictions. Local organizations and chapters are sufficient for this purpose. In ancient times, all religions, sects, and movements functioned without rules, restrictions, and governance. Ever since the everyday politics of democratic governance has creeped into religious organizations, the desire for personal gain and higher status has led to corrupt practices that abuse the system, just like in politics. Under and and all conditions, we must protect our organization from such troubles. Local chapters are more than sufficient, with the center providing moral and spiritual guidance only.

Yes, practices that are clearly contrary to the central philosophy will be disallowed, in the form of exclusion of such centers from the organization.
