First Things First - Principles First -

The practical application of Natural Law in groups has to be about creating a group of informed individuals who have equal voice in a group and who make the Principles their leader. This is referred to in Chapter 1 of Formal Consensus by CT Butler and Amy Rothstein on p. 6 regarding Chapter 3 where principles begin to be discussed. A group must decide upon principles about how they are going to treat each other before they try to accomplish anything together. This is because we have been raised to create tyrannies by our parents, teachers, employers, and now government. We are mind-controlled to want to delegate authority. We must learn the opposite. This is by creating a Constitution of Principles and then embodying them in our actions together in decision making. Once we know how to do this, then can we move forward into taking action to improve our world, but not before. First things First. Principles are the First Things.
