Description:
The meta-individual is here viewed as a mature person who has become conscious in himself of his creative force and of his power as a unit of social metamorphosis. He is aware that effective government consists in the dynamic interrelation between the two aspects of its being, the State and the Community, and that national health depends upon the standards and effectivity of that interrelation.
Multi-metacentralisation implies a coming to consciousness of the necessity for individual and small group responsibilities within the large group. It has unity grown from mutual understanding of the necessity for co-ordinative and co-operative unity rather than imposed unity.
The principle of socio-governmental parity is based on the concept: from each according to response-ability to each according to utilisation-capacity. Socio-governmental parity implies that gradually, as individual citizens assimilate and adopt that basic governmental principle, the whole electorate can participate in government, through conscious assumption of response-ability.
The purpose of citizenship is viewed as the development, within a social context, of the whole person. This metathinking purpose if pursued leads to the development of a mature society of individuals, and to the progressive realisation that the assumption of personal response-ability is more essential to freedom than the claiming of assumed or ill-defined "rights"; for such falsely conceived rights, exercised without regard to their effect on other people, are more in keeping with a primitive than with a civilized society. From each individual there is not and cannot be a higher authority than the inner principle of his own conscience.
