Kingdom Mt. Zion and Zion, and Explanation of the System
Tablet Six
REGIONAL GOVERNMENT
Administrative Body, Twelve-People Leader Selection Process:
<1>There will ultimately be twelve regions in the world. Each region will be divided into twelve sub-regions. Each sub-region will be divided into states, each state into counties, and each county into districts. Each district will be divided into small communities (Communities of Light). <2>Any small group of people (ideally around twelve people) in these communities represents a unit of decision-making and of the selection process. <3>Only those people who join this system of a small group of people can be selected and promoted to the leadership of the collective body. The only criteria necessary to form such a unit is the desire of these people to form such a unit.
<4>One person will emerge as the leader from each of these units (rather than being elected or selected by vote in these small units, he might be selected by consensus as the emerged leader). <5>Ideally each twelve of such leaders will make up a second level of decision-making, and they will select one person as their leader, and so on, until one community leader3 emerges from each community. <6>Then one person will emerge as the leader of each district, one as the leader of each county, and so on. This process will continue until twelve selected leaders for all the twelve sections of that region are chosen. <7>Any person who is selected to serve on a higher level in the Hierarchy will be replaced with someone from a level lower than the one from which he had emerged. This process will continue to the bottom of the Hierarchy, so that all the levels will be filled.
<8>There will also be six people selected on a mass-vote basis. These six will not be chosen through the twelve-people-leader selection process mentioned above, but rather by general vote. These six elected will join the twelve who were selected by the system described above. <9>Therefore, the number of the collective body of each region will be eighteen: twelve from the twelve-people selection process, and six mass-elected. <10>One person will be selected as representative of that region to the world collective body. One person will be selected as the leader of the collective body, and four as direct reporters to this leader. The rest (twelve) will be divided into four three-person groups, each under one of the four direct reporters to the leader.
<11>These twelve will assume the direct responsibility for the twelve sub-regions. <12>The six mass-elected cannot assume the positions of world representative, leadership of the collective body, or become a direct reporter for their first time elected to the collective body. <13>However, they can assume the position of direct reporter after being elected twice, and can be regarded as candidates for the leader of the collective body or regional representative to the world body if elected three times.
<14>Because the world representative of that region, the leader of the collective body, and the four direct reporters would no longer be available to assume the responsibilities of the sub-region they were elected from, the six mass-elected will each be given a sub-region to lead. <15>Since the six mass-elected people will not necessarily be familiar with the problems and situations of those sub-regions, the selected person from that region and the ones who have been elected by mass vote together will assume the responsibilities of that region. They will cooperate together and the person who is selected by that region will act as an advisor to the person who assumes his responsibilities.
<16>However, if the person selected from that sub-region does not agree with the decisions made by the person who replaced him, the matter will be solved by the judgment of the leader of the collective body. <17>If the problem is between the regional world representative or the leader of the collective body and the leader of their sub-region, the matter will be solved by the majority vote of the collective body, or by the decision made by The Eldest of the region.
<18>None of the four direct reporters to the leader of the collective body can have leadership of a region he was selected from, or can assume leadership of a three person group that includes his region.
<19>The twelve selected by the process of twelve-people-leader-selection dissolves each four years, and the six mass-elected also have terms of four years.
<20>After four years, the collective body will select the regional representative to the world body and the leader of the collective body of that region for the next four years. <21>After the selection of these leaders, the rest of this body will be dissolved to their respective twelve-leadership levels. Then the leaders for the next four years at those levels will be selected. The rest will dissolve to the next twelve-selected leadership units, and so on, until all the levels are selected. <22>Because of the dynamics of the system, it should not take a long time.
<23>The terms of the six elected at large will end before the selection of the regional body and the world representatives. Thus if they were elected for a second or third time, they can be considered as possible direct reporters, the regional representative, or the leader of the collective body.
<24>A person can only be selected as leader of the collective body for two periods (eight years). If a person succeeds in being the leader of the collective body for two periods, he will assume a position of an Elder of the collective body. <25>Also, any person who is selected as direct reporter for three times will assume the title of Elder in that level. <26>The members of the collective body, or any other level in the twelve-people-leader-selection process down to the bottom of the Hierarchy, can only be selected in any given level for four periods (sixteen years). This is also true for the regional representative in the world body. <27>If a person was elected for four periods in a level of the Hierarchy, he will assume an Elder position at that level.

3 The leader of the community can emerge from the community at large (without breaking the community into 12 people units). But by formation of 12 people units, the effect of mass hypnosis (when people follow the crowd and lose their own identity) will be broken. The person who emerges from the 12, however, should prove his or her worth, to each person in the group, before being chosen or emerging as the representative of the group. (Back)
