The human is born free, and everywhere he is chains: the chains of social structure, of economics, of norms and of culture, and above all, the chains of themselves.  Many believe themselves a master of others only to become more a slave than they are. In order to free themselves of these chains, we seek creation of order and government to dictate what is right, just, and best. In doing so, we ignore the most natural order of all, the family. The artificial orders create guides, then rules, then laws, then mandates. The social structure of these orders and governments has failed, leaving us only at the mercy of more chains. It is with this in mind, that as a collective we seek not to establish rule, but freedom. We seek to establish a family of like-minded individuals seeking truth, love, and freedom. We thus create, Civitas Solis not as an order, but as a beacon of hope. Not to dictate what to do and not to do, but to exemplify what can be done.

Each human being is born free, their liberty belongs to them. No human has the right to dispose of their freedom except themselves. And though the previous generations and those surrounding  them can place stipulations in their name, they can never completely dispose of it. In order, then, that an arbitrary government might be legitimate, it would be necessary that the people at each generation, at any time, and in every manner have the option of accepting or rejecting it. Now it must also be noted that human kind cannot create new force, and thus have no other means of self-preservation than a combination of many. In this combination it is of absolute necessity that the strength and freedom of each individual is the chief instruments of his preservation. And thus, we arrive at the ultimate goal of our particular establishment: To find a form of association which may defend and protect with the whole force of the community the person and property of every associate, and by means of which, coalescing with all, may nevertheless obey only their own desires, and remain as free as before.

As such the founding principles of our establishment shall be: equity, freedom, and sincerity. These principles shall be binding, to the point that the following doctrines of the charter so established in the formation of this community shall seek to serve these principles to an end and as a means. And with that, the formation of the family of Civitas Solis does so establish the following charter as a recognition of our establishment on this planet…

I have now reached the point where I may indicate briefly what to me constitutes the essence of the crisis of our time. It concerns the relationship of the individual to society. The individual has become more conscious than ever of his dependence upon society. But he does not experience this dependence as a positive asset, as an organic tie, as a protective force, but rather as a threat to his natural rights, or even to his economic existence. Moreover, his position in society is such that the egotistical drives of his make-up are constantly being accentuated, while his social drives, which are by nature weaker, progressively deteriorate. All human beings, whatever their position in society, are suffering from this process of deterioration. Unknowingly prisoners of their own egotism, they feel insecure, lonely, and deprived of the naive, simple, and unsophisticated enjoyment of life. Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society.

 

Aside from that address to the content in the OP...
