A new window on freedom opens through a proper and spiritual understanding of nationhood unshackled from the limits of politics and race, all constructs of top-down control that are a hazard to the kind of freedom God intends.
Willem IV- The power of nationhood, as a concept and in practice, isn’t what you probably think it is (political and/or racial), but it can give large bodies of people spread over vast spaces incredible influence and mutual assurance of safety without top-down down systems of control. Basically, if you understand nationhood as something spiritual that becomes sociocultural and socioeconomic and then civic, in a purely voluntary sense, you have a powerful vehicle for increasing your level of freedom and preventing yourself from being easily controlled or influenced.
This comes from the third of the 17 Protocols of Upadaria and is a dramatic, peaceful, alternative to a top-down approach and to systems and structures that are a slave to politics or polluted by racialism/racism. Through understanding nationhood as something that has a voluntarily shared spiritual basis, we can develop a sort of “organic cohesiveness” that is quite effective against more authoritarian and top-down systems of control.
The Spiritual Nation
WE ARE A SPIRITUAL NATION OF PEOPLE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD
God ordains the nations and calls them into being. His Word establishes the boundaries of their habitation and time of their existence. We believe God has called and ordained us to be Peers of a new spiritual nation, defined by spiritual sovereignty, whose God is the Lord.
– The 17 Protocols of Upadaria, Protocol Three
For many, if we speak of a nation or a nation of people, like a nationality, the two predominant things they think of in their mind’s eye are things like a political state and citizenship or a race or bloodline ancestry. Nations can be and sometimes are based on these things or a combination of these these things, but they aren’t these things in their core essence or, we propose, in God’s eyes.
Even when a nation is associated mostly or exclusively with a single political state or a race/blood ancestry, that is not the essence of a healthy nation. Put a different way, unless a nation is at its core made up of a spiritual commonality among its participants, it is not healthy and will tend to threaten as opposed to enhance freedom.
By nation we cannot mean the land or structures like a political state. Conflating a nation with these things is like conflating a family with the house they live in. Nations exists within these things and some organizations or institutions affiliated with a nation may exert control over these structures, but these things aren’t the nation.
Nations, from our best understanding of the Biblical and historical record, can best be desribed as a distributed body of people and their families who have a shared spiritual foundation and follow the same basic way of life. Nations are ordained by God, He sets the boundaries of their existence in time and of their habitation SO THAT people might find God if they seek Him. The only way for people to freely seek God is for freedom itself to reign. Therefore we say that nations are meta-scale freedom-building agencies and vehicles of power for free people, in their ideal.
A body of ideas based on shared beliefs, values, and convictions and the body of people, along with their freewill participatory associations who embrace and utilize those ideas, make up the core substance of a nation. This is true whether such associations include political states or not and, for most all the nearly 10,000 national people groups in existence, there is no political state.
Nationhood, when we see it as something spiritual you adopt through freewill participation alone, is a way to connect deeply to others without having to compromise your individual spiritual sovereignty. It is another form of inner freedom, starting with the universal nationhood of all Believers within the Kingdom, and which is expressed in a diverse manner throughout multiple unique manifestations of nationhood, which it has always been God’s intention to create.
The Tower of Babel story illustrates a deep and sublime truth that diversity expressions of nationhood, even if all are founded on Kingdom essentials, have always been God’s intention. Moreover, Revelation describes a new heavens and a new earth that includ diverse nations of people. So then nationhood, when we see it correctly, is an at-scale agency of God’s provision of freedom and is prescribed by God, in a diversity expression, for the whole of human civilization.
The diversity of nationhood we in particular proclaim is a new spiritual nation called “Upadaria”, which is the same name of the new civilization, a civilization founded on four core ideals of good governance and of freedom for all. So then this “Upadaria” is predicated on Kingdom essentials and the core ideals of a new civilization of Believers that we believe will emerge all over the world among any nations of people.
Through this at-scale familial free association of people, who adopt a shared identity and organic cohesiveness based on ideals and neither race nor politics, people can experience a form of inner freedom that begins to reach out and into and transfigure their own lives and relationships.
We proclaim that we who embrace Yeshua as King and our own unique principles and etc all founded on Kingdom essentials and the core ideals of a freedom civilization are all Peers of a spiritual nation of people whose God is the Lord. As such, we know and have faith that God’s will surround us with a sacred spiritual boundary, pomerium as we call it, which will keep us safe from harm.
Nationhood as a concept isn’t limited to Upadarians, people who are called into our diversity expression of Kingdom Nationhood in Christ. Any body of people, which could be a few persons who become a group and a whole tribe, can use this concept as the basis of their freewill participation.
For Upadarians, who are first and foremost “Yeshuans”, that is, Believers, Christians, who follow Yeshua and identify with Him, our shared spiritual nationhood unites us under Christ alone but moves us in unique ways that go beyond Kingdom essentials and that are not required of all Christians. We are united with the whole Body of Christ because our diversity expression of nationhood is firmly rooted in the Universal Kingdom Nationhood we share with all Believers.
Our particular concept of nationhood, which anyone anywhere can voluntarily adopt by learning and embracing the 17 Protocols, begins with and seeks to equip its peers to experience spiritual sovereignty as individuals. Spiritual sovereignty means we are created in the image of God and endowed with such rights as life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, freedom of expression and association, mutual and individual self-reliance and self-preservation, and respect for our rights, for human dignity, and for human flourishing.
We take this as a priori fact, we don’t debate it and we aren’t open to any compromise of our reasonable boundaries of individual and shared spiritual sovereignty, both as individual persons and as a spiritual nation as a body of people whose God is the Lord. While we work in peace and we may submit to unjust laws and policies to keep the peace or just because we have no earthly choice, we believe God will deliver us and make us free.
The mere act of identifying with such a form of spiritual nationhood means you unlock the blessings and provisions reserved for God-fearing nations of people, even if the entire surrounding society is running away from God! We will, within the other Protocols, offer comcrete methods and techniques for building freedom, and anyone can use these ideas. We also believe that when a whole distributed body of people share the same national identity, and when that national identity is founded on the person and works of Jesus Christ, according to Kingdom essentials and the vision of new freedom civilization, that God will let loose supernatural provisions, favor, and protection not manifested through any other Divinely ordained agency.
Through the adoption of a form of spiritual nationhood we can build our own inner freedom and, together in freewill participatory association, we can build out freedom in our lives, relationships, families, and communities on a unilateral basis and for the Glory of God.
Willem IV- The current trend toward ever-increasing authoritarianism is not going to go away soon, but the trend toward something new and better emerging even within the old civilizations is also inevitable. We use the second of the 17 Protocols of Upadaria to illustrate both what is happening that is contrary to freedom and what is inevitably going to increase freedom for those who understand the times and act accordingly.
The New Civilization
A NEW CIVILIZATION OF BELIEVERS EMERGES AS OLD CIVILIZATIONS FALTER
Understanding times and seasons and cycles and patterns allows us to see that we are living in a time of visitation. The existing paradigms have resulted in a centralized corpostate that politicizes all aspects of society, such as a church system and culture that is limited by religion and Western practices. These will be lawfully and peacefully transcended over time as the new civilization emerges.
-From “The 17 Protocols of Upadaria”, Protocol Two
While authoritarianism is alarming and its disruptions of your life in the here and now can be quite dramatic, the trend toward freedom for those who understand and embrace the signs of the time is clear as well. We are in a state of early collapse, but also a state of genesis, depending on what we choose.
The historical processes whereby civilizations, from the West and Islamic, to the Russian, Indian, Japanese, and Chinese civilizations, are born, rise, decline, and fall, are mostly always inevitabilities we cannot prevent from taking place. What is unique and both special and hazardous about our particular time is that so many major human civilizations are at a similar stage of decline and that the presence of depravity, corruption, and authoritarianism are so pervasive in every major country or collection of countries, like the EU, for example.
Each civilization declines in a different way, but all tend to feature some form of moral depravity, corruption of institutions to wit the needs of the ruling class are served at the expense of the people, and the emergence of increasing manifestations of more authoritarian policies. One theory as to how and why so many of the world’s major civilizations are in similar states of decline is that Western Civilization has become so powerful and influential that it has essentially “colonized” aspects of all the other civilizations and dragged them all to its present state of spiritual and moral malaise.
But a new civilization is coming with bright and glorious prospects, whole new structures, whole new cities, predicated on freedom and prosperity with liberty and justice for all.
Meanwhile, the major civilizations, of which the Western is chief, are going in the opposite direction.
When we speak of Western Civilization your mind may hearken to images of a Judeo-Christian worldview and moral foundation combined with the Greco-Roman foundations and our history of science coupled with a strong work ethic and strong nuclear and extended families. You may know that no civilization yet has been wholly good but that the overall moral and spiritual state of Western Civilization has been far better and has itself represented an overall advancement for human civilization.
Those who understand history properly take in a view over thousands of years as opposed to the habit of modern humans, which is to be short-sighted. What we can see is that the advancement overall of humanity in terms of material well-being, technology, lifespans, quality of life, and even freedom cannot be denied. In every major aspect of this advance, Western Civilization was, since what we see as its inception in the 8th to 9th centuries, was in the vanguard.
Not everyone equally benefited but almost entirely everyone is better off materially and in every other way today than they were, say, 200 years ago. In other words, the benefits of advanced civilization were not evenly or equitably distributed, but everyone received some benefits. The black community in America, for instance, is far behind all others due to structural legacies rooted in racist prejudice, but they are far better off than when slavery was legal and the South started a Civil War to keep their slaves!
Things like the welfare system and gun control as well as abortion, all of which disproportionately effect the black community, are all rooted in structural thinking that was itself a product of racial prejudice. It’s not that society today is based on systemic racism, it is that some legacy structures were a product of racial bigotry. What is interesting and informative is that most people and politicians who invoke accusations of white guilt and systemic racism still desire to perpetuate racist structural thinking, like gun control, abortion, the welfare system, and dumbing down educational standards.
What the world is about to witness, as the cycles of civilization draw a close to the more “golden” ages these civilizations experienced, mostly (but far from exclusively) thanks to Western Civilization, is a major reduction in the leading indicators of a healthy civilization. For instance, in the US, the lifespan of all populations decreased for the first time since World War Two and, we can say, most everyone in every population group has seen their level of personal freedom decreased over the past 40 years.
Even if you argue, as we also do, that the degree of racial prejudice 40 years ago was higher, despite the woke communists’ insistence everyone is racist today, the degree of personal freedom experienced by a black person in the 1980s was more than they, or almost anyone save the ruling class, experience today!
What we are witnessing is the decline of multiple civilizations, led by the spiritual and moral collapse of Western culture as it embraces all the typical traits of a dying civilization, mainly the destruction of extended families followed by the destruction of nuclear families. By the 1980s the collapse of extended families within close-knit trust communities had been solidified and the atomization of the individual was in full swing, prompted by the “baby boomer, me generation” and their utter rejection of moral standards in the 60s and 70s.
No generation in America history has been more problematic to its country and people than the Baby Boomers who made selfishness and moral depravity their creed, although many “boomers” rejected and resisted, and still do, all of that. But one cannot blame the “boomers.” Their period of “social experimentation” and “sexual liberation” was really not a unilateral act they themselves willed into being, it was a historical process effected by utter exhaustion after two massively destructive “world wars” perpetuated mostly as Western Civilization began “trying on” the stages of authoritarianism.
We want our youth back, but we don’t want to repeat the mistakes of our youth!
For this reason, some will, as always happens, seek to restore their old civilization’s original spirit. Even if they, like us, feel that the best their civilization offered wasn’t equitably distributed to all and wish to rectify that, they basically want to keep their old civilization alive by making it young again. This is really like an older person who would love their youth back but who would also make changes in their behavior and choices if they could turn the clock back.
Civilizations, like individual human beings who are the “interdependent atoms” and whose extended families are the core constituent entities of a civilization, cannot turn back the clock. Their eventual death is written in stone and no human being can unwrite it.
Trying to revive and perpetuate any civilization, to get its youth back and learn from its youthful mistakes, to make its new golden age more equitable and fair to everyone is, to be blunt, a fantasy.
So where does that leave the global denizen who looks all around and sees not one major civilization or land where freedom rooted in virtue, liberty, and independence prevails? What does a world look like when every major civilization is in a state of decline and where the clock cannot be turned back nor the coming age of depraved authoritarianism cannot be stayed?
Those who solely focus on the decline and fall of existing civilizations often forget another part of the cycle of history: the genesis of new civilizations always begins both within and outside of declining civilizations. The cycle of dying and the cycle of birthing overlap. The new emerges as an internal exile from the systems and structures of the old. People who cannot and will not cosign the cultural milieu of a dying civilization withdraw internally or are banished, like being deplatformed in our era, and find alt forms of sociocultural and socioeconomic life and connectedness.
It is argued that almost every new civilization emerges from some desire to restore or regain the youthful vigor of an older civilization that is dying or has died. Many of those who today feel they are defending “Western Tradition” and seeking to restore Western Civilization to spiritual and moral health, learning from past mistakes, will mostly end up planting the spiritual, philosophical, and ideological seeds of the new civilization.
As Jesus warned people to understand the times and seasons and to recognize the hour of their visitation, we must be wise as well. We live in a dual-reality, if we recognize, and the reality we choose to swim within is the reality that will control our life on this earth. Even if we personally, through faith in Christ, are bound for heaven, if we choose the wrong earthly reality, it will have a direct impact on this life and an influence on the life to come because we will not have fulfilled all that needed to be fulfilled in this life.
The only two realities a modern human in the 21st century can swim within are the latter day decline and fall of every major civilization or the genesis period wherein the new civilization emerges heart to heart, family to family, within those increasingly barbaric societies. Even if you do not consciously choose, your choice will be made for you and the default choice is to flow along the course of the dying civilization.
The new civilization is coming. This is always the case.
But what will it look like, what will its ideals and culture look like?
The new always has a spiritual and moral purity to it that the old can no longer fathom or tolerate. What is more, the new can emerge and survive in kernels of people and communities within the old for multiple centuries before it finally dies!
Even if you understand the new civilization and its ideals and if you practice them, they may be a boon to your personal life and that of your fellow travelers, but you may not live to see the establishment of your civilization as someone separated from the old civilizations. You will, however, experience the spirit of the new civilization which will enable you to fulfill purposes and designs for your life which would be hindered within the cultural milieu of the old civilization.
The ideals of the new civilization, as we see it, based on the perfecting and spiritual purification of the ideals of four primary antecedent civilizations, include a modernized and Judeo-Christian interpretation and balanced application of Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law.
Let your “old” understanding of these terms, which is polluted by the spirit depravity all around you, go. For instance, Democratic equality hearkens to a free and equitable marketplace of goods, services, and ideas within a just and fair competitive, and yet collaborative, free enterprise structure. The perfect democracy is a form of meritocracy that seeks to ensure every human being has an equal and fair starting point while leaving nobody behind. And by meritocracy we do not mean the rule of the most capable among the most privileged! Our concept of participatory free association based on our merit (including character, fidelity, integrity, and capability and not JUST capability) is equitable and fair and reaches to the worst off to elevate them to an equal standing.
If we explored all these ideals in their roots we would find their more “modern” definitions to be a twisted perversion of their original spirit. Rule of law isn’t slavish devotion to an arbitrary legal code, it is a balance of law based on proven laws of cause and effect, the individual’s and the common good, and both the consensus of the people and the merit of the lawmakers and law enforcers.
Briefly, we find the ideals of the new civilization written within the best and most generous understanding of four primary antecedent civilizations: Unity in diversity from Western Civilization, Popular sovereignty from the Germanic civilization, Democratic equality from the Greco-Roman Civilization, and Rule of law from the Hebrew civilization.
In every way, the new civilization’s symbols, language, culture, and even architecture takes new forms that, while they may superficially resemble old forms, and be founded on the most ancient and sacred institutions, transcend everything that currently exists.
For this reason, we sat that this doesn’t mean the new civilization is merely the offspring of these primary antecedent civilizations. It means, however, that the core ideals of the new are mostly, but not exclusively, to be discovered in the core ideal of these civilization. If we understand their core ideal, each had only one, in its purity and in its original spirit, not in its imperfect and hypocritical application, we find a deeper and sublime truth.
It is through understanding these ideals, balancing them within the ancient and sacred blueprints of civilization we find in Holy Writ, namely the Bible, that we discover a path whereby we can immerse ourselves into the new reality, the emergence of a new civilization, that is the only path to escape from the downward pull of the old reality, the death of an old civilization.
The dual realities compete for every heart and every family and community of people and each of us gets a choice. In fact, this is a radical new advancement in human civilization itself: never before have humans both had such a complete understanding of the cycles of civilization and never has it been possible for almost everyone on the planet to choose which of these two realities they desire to immerse themselves within.
The paths toward more freedom run through the cycles of civilization related to the emergence of the new within the old. The paths to authoritarianism and deprivation lead through basically either choosing or insensibly going with the flow of the old civilizations in decline.
We are all destined to be spiritually sovereign beings, joint heirs, royalty, in the Kingdom of God. Our inner freedom stems from this realization. Women and men, people of every kindred or ancestry, are all equals as joint-heirs with Yeshua if they choose the path of salvation by faith.
By Willem IV*- We talk a lot about freedom, but there is an inner freedom that flows from the heart and throne of God, every person has the potential to see, understand, and experience this freeedom. To understand this freedom we introduce two new concepts, Kingdom Nationhood and Regency. This comes from the first of 17 Protocols of Upadaria, which are part of a specific vision for a “spiritual nation”, which are based on Kingdom essentials, and which are meant to empower people to fully realize their God-given freedom and potential as joint-heirs and citizens of the Kingdom of God through Yeshua.
For some, these Protocols become the basis of a set of standards and norms which define a unique and intentional shared identity and way of life and which form the essence of their freewill association with people all over the world. For others, these Protocols, insofar as they reflect the Kingdom essentials found in God’s Word, are a useful tool for exploring new possibilities in Kingdom living beyond just attending church services.
Kingdom Nationhood
WE ARE REGENTS OF YESHUA, THE CHRIST, AND CITIZENS OF HIS KINGDOM
Fulfilling our Regency as Kings, Priests, and joint-Heirs with Yeshua in His Kingdom is something we seek daily through practicing fellowship with all Believers where we live, work, and worship. We exercise our spiritual sovereignty and fulfill God’s best for our lives with excellence.
– From “The 17 Protocols of Upadaria”, Protocol One
Kingdom Nationhood has two manifestations, a universal manifestation which includes all Believers and a diversity manifestation which it was prophesied would be fulfilled when Abraham was told he would be the father of many nations. But even the diversity expression of Kingdom Nationhood has the same essence: a body of people united under Yeshua as their King and determined to be His Regents as a witness and influence for Him to the nations.
Nationhood in general isn’t what the world seems to equate it to, namely political states or so-called “races.” In the Kingdom, our universal nationhood in Christ is as citizens of His Kingdom. The blood that unites us is the Blood of Christ. The only form of statehood is the spiritual sovereignty of the Eternal Kingdom which is given to every citizen of the Kingdom as a nation of kings and priests unto God.
This concept of nationhood is a more holistic and, frankly, Biblical view of Christianity itself. Ours is not merely a religion, it is a universal and eternal nationhood and identity that flows through us in every aspect of our being and every arena and level of human action and interaction for the Glory of God and the Praise of His Name!
If you want to begin a journey of freedom, begin with understanding the true nature of Christianity not as some religion spoiled by humans who added things and took away things from God’s intentions. To be a Christian or, as we often say, a Yeshuan (because we use Jesus’s Hebrew name, and not for any doctrinal reason), is to adopt a deeper, universal, and spiritual nationhood or national identity that easily transcends our citizenship, so-called “race”, ethnicity, or ancestry.
We are translated FROM the kingdom of darkness, where we were held as spiritual slaves to an overlord of evil, INTO the Kingdom of God as joint-heirs, and therefore regents on this earth, of the King, who is Yeshua, the Christ.
What is a regent?
A regent is someone who is not the king or queen (in the Upadarian culture, there is no male/female versions of “king” or “Reyki”, but just “king”, which we call Reyki, and which applies to women and men) but who has all the Sovereign power thereof until the King Returns. If we are all joint-heirs and if the King is not present in the physical, and if we are destined and ordained as “Reyki” in the Kingdom, then are we not Regents of Yeshua on this earth?
You are destined, if you choose the path of repentance from sin and then to walk a life of faith in Yeshua, to become a regent of the King and to actualize your own Regency as a Royal who walks with God and converses with Him face to face. When human beings dare to stand on the road between you and your own regency in Yeshua, by fulfilling the scroll of purpose and destiny for you life (“wyrd”), they stand against the King and the whole Kingdom.
Change your understanding of Christianity as a religion. It is also a religion, but Christianity is mainly a national identity that is universal and eternal. When you become a Christian, you adopt an eternal nationhood and you are eligible to walk and live out your life as a regent of your King while you are on this earth.
While we could produce much in the way of content on how to see and practice your nationhood as a Believer and your Regency in Yeshua, the heart of this is how we live out our own lives, how we treat fellow Believers, and how we relate to the world at large in serving our King.
The Regency of Believers isn’t something we lord over anyone. It is stewardship and agency, it is being a witness and an influence, but it isn’t dominion over others.
The way we approach practicing this Regency within the context of our shared Kingdom Nationhood begins with understanding Kingdom essentials, like the core ethical, moral, and doctrinal orthodoxy of historic and Biblical Christianity. These Kingdom essentials are the thing that makes every follower of Yeshua a fellow national, which is really a massive scale form of kinship.
Physical Israel as a kingdom is a shadow of the eternal and universal Kingdom of God which is destined to cover the earth and, after the Return of the King, be the only Supreme Kingdom on this earth. It is manifested in and through us as we live and practice “Kingdom essentials” in our lives and relationships.
Kingdom essentials include things like the Divinity of Christ, the Resurrection, the Return of Christ, the doctrine of salvation by faith, and the such. These are sometimes referred to as the “milk” of our faith: easy to digest and understand and not really open to dispute or “interpretation.” Outside of these things, one cannot be considered to be a citizen of the Kingdom.
In practice we find things like prayer, worship, breaking of bread, fellowship, mutual care, and the such. These are things we essentially “owe” to one another, although we are accountable only to God, ultimately, for how, when, and with whom and where we do these things. To begin to practice our regency we begin with every fellow Believer wherever we live, work, or worship, as much as we can, by deliberately doing these things together.
Believers connecting around Kingdom essentials, especially some of the core practices of Kingdom living, like praying together or studying the Word together, is a major aspect of walking in our regency. All these efforts to “unite the church” would gain much ground if Believers practiced their regency together, regardless of denominational or church affiliation!
When individual Believers begin to connect with each other, outside of just going to church, each person begins to experience and practice their own spiritual sovereignty as regents of the King. Moreover, as this becomes a daily practice, there is a certain supernatural dimension and empowerment released into your life.
This is an essential foundation for understanding and practicing our shared Kingdom Nationhood and for living out our spiritual sovereignty as regents of the King. But going beyond this we understand our wyrd, which is our scroll of destiny and purpose, which is God’s best for our lives, and how we must pursue this with excellence.
To understand our wyrd is a journey and a process of discovery and experimentation, we don’t usually just get a full download. We discover this in communion with God through the Spirit but also in a practical understanding of both the things that drive/inspire us and in a combination of our skills and qualifications and the needs of the marketplace and/or ministry we enter into.
As our understanding of our wyrd unfolds at different levels, we begin more and more to adopt an intentional identity in Yeshua. We begin to see the stark difference between things we inherited in the flesh as well as things others have put on us and the things God has planted within us. We see an ideal persona of ourselves through the lenses of the Kingdom, the Bible, and God’s Spirit speaking to us.
This is true inner freedom and while we desire outer freedoms like our sacred God-given human rights and dignity for all people, these outer freedoms both flow from and serve this inner freedom. If you have all the outer freedoms but don’t experience this inner freedom then you are tragically and unnecessarily lost. If human beings block or deny your outer freedoms, first, they become enemies of God who gave us those freedoms and, second, we lose not one bit of our inner freedom, which can supernaturally transcend any earthly and/or human opposition to God’s wyrd for us.
You cannot say the world or any human cannot block God’s purpose for your life if you don’t understand that purpose and walk in it inasmuch as you are able and as God provides. This isn’t legalism, God has Grace and helps us even when we don’t deserve it. This is practicality. When we desire to cross the Jordan into our promised land, having first come through the Red Sea and now being ready and willing to walk in our regency in Yeshua, the waters do not part until our feet get wet.
Whatever else we do through understanding these Protocols, if we don’t get this right, our shared nationhood with all Believers and our regency, we have a shaky foundation. Connecting with fellow Believers and also pursuing our own wyrd with deliberate intentionality are two key ways we experience and fulfill our spiritual sovereignty as joint-heirs with Yeshua.
While we will explore and develop forms of nationhood in Yeshua that aren’t universal and shared “wyrds” of destiny and purpose that don’t apply to all Believers, this is essential. If you utilize all the 17 Protocols save this one, then you will lack true spiritual sovereignty. If you only use this Protocol to walk in Kingdom Nationhood with fellow Believers and to seek and follow God’s wyrd for YOU, walking in spiritual sovereignty as a regent of the King, then you will preserve yourself in this life and prepare yourself for the world to come.
This doesn’t mean these other things don’t matter or cannot help you become a more rounded, fulfilled, and effective person. These other things are transfigurative in their own right but only if they remain subordinated to this overarching purpose which is essential for all Believers.
If you desire to be a fully spiritually sovereign human being created in the very image of God, the path is through an inner freedom based on Kingdom Nationhood in Yeshua, which you share with all fellow Believers, and walking/living as a regent of the King both through connecting with fellow Believers and through seeking to know and fulfill God’s wyrd for you as His regent on this earth. In this way we become a witness and influence for Yeshua to the nations!

*NOTE: Willem IV is the fictional Crown Prince Regent of the Crown Commonwealth of Upadaria. It is a persona within “Upadaria”, a unique spiritual nation project, and planned international Christian society, that was developed from a fictional future history. The idea of these “impressions” of personas from the future history is, in part, to see yourself clearly as God sees you and to be unencumbered from your past or whatever others want to impose upon your identity.
Woke. It’s really not a good word in today’s vernacular as it really means anything but woke. Like the SA under Hitler with their “Germany Awake” slogan, “woke” is the clarion call of totalitarianism. Woke means you buy into the delusional myths and bogeyman fears as well as the totalitarian solutions to these fake or histrionic problems.
We are witnessing the creation of a woke wasteland, especially in the schools, colleges and universities, so-called “press”, and in sports and entertainment. The woke ideology of bogeymen, gender-bending, faux “justice”, and, now, “outcome equity”, is driving an agenda of intolerance. You may not care about or even want to hear about the woke cancel culture, but it is coming for you. Saying things like “silence is violence”, the woke cancel culture warriors demand that you loudly support them and participate in all their actions or get canceled.
The culture and institutions of this country are being turned against the people who live here who never imagined they would see a day when, for instance, merely being white makes you racist and merely loving our Bill of Rights gets you on the government’s suspect list.
There is a solution, but it’s not to be found on becoming a lone prepper waiting for the zombie invasion or even in winning the next election. The solution is to build freedom unilaterally but not alone. The solution is found in something no less than a new form and adoption of “nationhood” wherein the “nation” isn’t a race or a country but a spiritual identity that reflects shared beliefs, values, and convictions.
This may seem a bit counter-intuitive because for many nationality is basically a combination of citizenship, as in being an American, ethnicity based on ancestry, or “race”, like being a person of color or a white person.
And, you might ask, “what does me choosing a nationality that isn’t my ethnicity, race, or citizenship have to do with building freedom?”
Nationality, when understood in the proper light of ancient blueprints, offers three tangible ways to build freedom: it offers easy organic cohesiveness with lots of people you don’t personally know but who you can trust, it offers a mindset for building freedom that defends your mind from the pollution of constant propaganda, and it offers the supernatural provision that only comes to and through “nations whose God is the Lord.”
When you adopt a new form of nationhood based on a spiritual nation, a nation whose God is the Lord and who ideals and principles reflect your own Christian convictions, you take the first steps toward unilaterally building freedom in your life in a way not even the woke brigades can penetrate.
Nationhood, as a shared identity and way of life that connects you with many other people, is the best way to overcome the constant pressure to conform and it is the only practical way larger groups of people can easily cooperate and connect for mutual benefit without relying on top-down systems of control.
Put another way, if you love America, as in the founding principles of freedom with liberty and justice for all but all within a more socially conservative and Judeo-Christian worldview, then chances are what we offer in terms of nationhood is actually exactly what you need.
There’s a lot to this. There is an entire framework and blueprint for an entire new civilizational paradigm with detailed prescriptions and ideas, worked out through decades of research and experience, inspired by some rather interesting and, some might say, supernatural encounters from whence a massive vision emerged.
The Bible says, “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”, and therein lies the heart of the matter. A nation is not a race, it’s not limited to your biological ancestors, and it’s definitely not based on citizenship or your political state. A nation is something spiritual, it reflects an identity one adopts as both an extension of themselves and as something they willingly share with others.
When you know your spiritual nationality has certain ideals, principles, and practices that reflect core beliefs, values, and convictions, you have the means of keeping garbage out of your head. You also have a way to connect with others and build meaningful ways to experience real freedom together.
In the woke wasteland you are either an oppressor or oppressed but the solution is always the same: let the woke brigades, their leaders, and their paymasters run your life with an iron grip. By literally choosing a new form of nationhood, with no past, you step out of your designated role of servitude as either a penitent oppressor or powerless victim of oppression.
We can begin a process that ends as whole new major sociocultural and socioeconomic structures and institutions emerge, from the web to your neighborhood, all outside the influence or control of the woke brigades. We can determine our future and not let these totalitarian loons choose it for us!
An Intentional, Free, and Pluralistic Clustered Housing Development and Missionary and Refugee Support Hub
A Upo Hub Community is envisioned as a collaborative development between a Upadarian Branch Society (part of the international NGO), a local Upadarian Chapter Community or Group, and participating entities such as mutual benefit corporations, businesses, and ministries.
Palmanova, Udine, Italy. An exemplary fortification project of its time was laid down in 1593, it provides a visual model for what a Upo Hub Community might look like, albeit the center would likely contain a Castle.
We will introduce the concept in general terms and then describe the specific nomenclature we use that is specific to our Upadarian brand identity, which allows people to easily ascertain whether a project or clustered living arrangement is related to Upadarian standards and norms or not.
Please note, the repetition of terms, where we explain them multiple times, is an importation methodology that isn’t common in the West. Our purpose is to help the audience internalize the meanings and application of these terms which we know are conceptually novel to them.
The description of these familial and fraternal groupings, from households to the household group and household community, apply specifically to a Upo Community or Upo Hub Community, which is a residential community. But they also apply generally to distributed forms of these groupings or to single residential spaces.
In other words, a Upadarian household group can exist without any cluster housing and may gather at common facility, akin to a lodge. A larger Upadarian household community may have a larger facility akin to a small community center. There may however be an extended homestead with some members of a larger household community living in site but with most using the extended homestead as their common meeting place. The scope of this essay is the Upo Hub Community as a residential community.
Unlike many intentional communities, a Upo Hub Community is intended to welcome a diversity of residents and users of its commercial or ministry spaces. The aim is to emulate a free and pluralistic society while also meeting the specific needs of ethnic Upadarians and Christians in general for a clustered housing arrangement consistent with the extended multi-family household model.
Pictured above, Alupka, Crimea. Vorontsov Palace is at the bottom of the picture. Imagine the citadel and castle at the bottom as a core and the whole distributed town above as the rest of a Upo Hub Community.
Clustered housing is a housing development in which the core ownership is based on some form of organic cohesiveness among its members. Clustered living is where people of a similar sociocultural and religious or ethnic, or all of the above, backgrounds connect and collaborate for mutual support and profit. Neither clustered housing nor clustered living are exclusionary to the outside world, the concept of a free and pluralistic society also being essential to these concepts.
We use the concept of organic cohesiveness for clustered living and clustered housing. This is a natural, organic, knitting together of hearts and lives around a shared identity rooted in common beliefs, and convictions and directed toward common goals or a shared purpose.
Organic cohesiveness is basically a shared identity based on ideas, not race or ancestry or anything else, that allows a group of people to have very close unity of action without the need for strong, hierarchical systems of control.
Through organic cohesiveness we can develop large-scale support systems and governance that won’t become top-down, controlling, or too hierarchical. Without organic cohesiveness, however, a clustered living and/or housing arrangement is virtually impossible.
Another important aspect of a Hub Community is that it is a hub for supporting a larger community group, or chapter entity, like an area chapter, or regional chapter, or for some other purpose, like hosting a larger housing area with many refugees. A Upo Community is exactly like a Upo Hub Community, but it isn’t a support Hub, its sole purpose is to provide clustered housing and clustered living to ethnic Upadarians and to Christians and to provide lower cost, sustainable, and quality housing to the public.
Most all Upo Hub Communities will offer and perform a missionary role to the service area of their chapter entity and support and aid anyone who wishes to practice missional living on order to be an effective witness and influence for Yeshua.
These Hub Communities will also house refugees and provide emergency or traditional housing in the event of a disaster or in the case where a Peer or a subscriber faces a serious crisis. Providing refuge to refugees, for ourselves, to our subscribers, and to the local population is essential to our core national mandates.
Things like emergency preparedness, mutual safety and security, crisis management, and legal advocacy for human rights, are elements of fulfilling the refuge mandate. A Upo Hub Community would have services and facilities to support these things.
Finally, while Upo Communities will spring up autonomously as people use the Upadarian concepts as well as our blueprints and frameworks to organize themselves, a Upo Hub Community is an “official” development of a chapter group, chapter community, chapter organization, Branch Society, or the International NGO. Generally, Upo Hub Communities will contain some facilities for the larger chapter entity they serve and which are accessible to all Peers of Upadaria, to all subscribers to our web 3.0 platform, and to the public.
With the exeption of special hubs for administration or for housing larger numbers of refugees who require a more secure environment (e.g. political and/religious asylees), Upo Hubs and Upo Communities are not exclusionary and will all model a free and pluralistic society of equals.
A free and pluralistic society of equals is based on a broad concept of freedom rooted in virtue (especially civic virtues like tolerance and respect), liberty (based on a universal understanding of the original spirit and intent of the Bill of Rights, including human dignity, human rights, and human flourishing), and independency (self-sustainability, mutual self-reliance, and material independence). This encompasses everyone of every race, religion, culture, creed, ethnicity, or what have you on the broadest grounds of mutual respect and tolerance.
As with everything else we present, these ideas and concepts can, and we hope will, be used by many different groups of people with their own form of organic cohesiveness but also within a broader movement to build private communities that are pluralistic in nature.
As we build Upo Communities or Upo Hub Communities, we will at the same time be emulating and providing for clustered housing/living through organic cohesiveness, creating places of refuge for Christians and others in crisis, and emulating in the real world a truly free and pluralistic society of equals.
The heart of a Upo Hub Community is the heart of what we refer to as our “spiritual nation”, the multi-family extended household, or household community, of around 120 “peers.” Peers in our lingo are people who have freely adopted the Upadarian nationality as their ethnic identity and the Upadarian lifestyle and governance discipline as their way of life.
(We say this often- anyone who chooses, between themselves and God, to adopt and utilize our 17 Biblical Protocols of Spiritual Nationhood to fulfill God’s best and God’s Scroll of Destiny for their lives is a Peer of Upadaria, they do not have to buy anything or join anything!)
The extended multi-family household model is basically around 120 adults formed as one larger extended household community consisting of around 5 smaller groups that consist of clusters of 3-5 households.
As we define it, households, the core of the extended multi-family household community, are nuclear families with attached single adults, live-in staff, dependent adult, or hosted refugees which include asylees and people in crisis.
The multi-family extended household, or household community, consists both of these households (nuclear family with dependents and attached single adults), groups of these households, and unattached single adults who are not part of a household. This concept of attached single adults will be explained as it is one of the key innovations of our model.
Let’s start with the household in our model. According to this model a household is centered around a nuclear family but also any dependent adults, like grandparents or people being cared for as refugees (asylees and people in crisis), any live-in staff, and any attached single adults. This concept of attached single adults is important and will require some explanation.
Attached single adults are single men and women who may be adult children or any adult who are considered to be within the care of the household, even of they don’t live in the household residence. Our architecture, however, is designed to provide single apartments for Peers as attached single adults that are actually part of an extended residence, called the homestead.
In the culture of Upadaria, as a spiritual Christian nation, as in many others, single adults are IDEALLY connected to a nuclear family for support and care and eventually they get married to form their own household with their spouse. Whether a couple has children or not, they can both form a household and even host or care for attached single adults.
A “householder” in our model is a Peer who is part of a single household. If they are married, they form the core of a nuclear family and if they are single they are attached to a nuclear family. Not all Peers would be householders, and while this is encouraged and supported, it is never mandatory. To be as clear as possible: a householder physically lives within the homestead of a household and is an active member who participated in the household.
Everyone within the household in our view is the family and is treated as family, with the “freeholders”, the primary married couple, being cheif stewards and guides who care for the whole. Everyone within the whole household community, however, is the extended family and we believe extended families of around 120 adults should cluster together and jointly own a stake in the property of the extended family while also owning their own property and wealth.
This is a major departure from the atomized and anemic Western “family”, which could be one person! Our “family” is, by religious conviction, around 120 adults clustered together as best they can. We believe such families need space exclusively owned by themselves in some form and which should exclusively benefit that family in the same way a house for a Western “family” serves that family unit.
Note also, we are always for our way of life, not against others. Our concept of family is not the only concept, we don’t demand or wish to force anyone to adopt our concept and we don’t disrespect families that don’t meet our definition of family.
A married couple, male and female, is the ideal center of family in our community, but we respect that others have different ideas and beliefs and we also recognize that to them their ideal is also valid. Even in our housing policies, those who adhere to other family models, whether out of conviction or because they feel they were born with certain traits, are always welcome and accepted within our communities.
This is not a controlling relationship. Single adults are fully sovereign people of equal status as Peers to any married person. The purpose of this arrangement is twofold- it gives the attached single adult more support and it also increases the overall support to the nuclear family.
Nobody will force even a Peer of our spiritual nation or our Society to become attached to a nuclear family, but the basic model for a residential Upadarian multi-family extended household is to practice this. In other words, a single adult cannot occupy a space designated for a Peer or own shares in the Peer-only mutual benefit corporation associated with the household group unless they practice this. Basically, the unattached single adult who is a Peer cannot physically live witin an extended homestead owned by a household group.
They can, however, live within an Estate in space set aside for unattached single adult Peers or for subscribers. Moreover, within the household community that owns the estate, they have equal standing.
Basically, the practice of attaching yourself as a single adult to a nuclear family and of nuclear families supporting single adults is beneficial and encouraged, but we cannot require it and still respect the sovereignty of each person.
A household group that practices clustered living would occupy an extended homestead. Again, it is only at this level that any single adults cannot live unless they are attached to a nuclear family.
Around 5 of these groups form a household community of around 120 adults, into a single cohesive clustered housing arrangement (an estate) for maximum mutual support and profit. In this estate there would be nuclear families, attached single adults, and unattached single adults.
These estates with 3-5 extended homesteads would also include commercial and residential space for the public, perhaps as many as 30 other residences and 10 commercial spaces.
To make this clearer: the household is everyone attached to a single nuclear family, while the homestead describes where they live together if they live together. The household group of 3-5 nuclear families and attached single adults refers to the body of people while the the extended homestead refers to the physical space they live within. Likewise for the household community of around 120 adults meaning the body of people and the estate meaning the space they live within.
The body of people is the real community, it can move about and even exist even if it has no single space to shared in a clustered housing arrangement. Additionally, and most importantly, for us, the whole of a family is the whole household community of around 120 adults, and nothing less, while a man and a women married for life is the very essence of the whole because they represent and embody the marriage of Christ to the church.
That being said, people who are residents of an extended homestead or a homestead community are also members of that corporate entity, even though they are not members of a household, household group, or household community. So in that sense, even the things we call the physical spaces, like the extended homestead, are bodies of people that include everyone who lives on the land and/or who is attached as a subscriber or client in some way.
We can focus now on the physical space, like the homestead, the extended homestead and the estate.
The homestead is a physical space that serves a single household, consisting of the nuclear family, dependent adults, grandparents who live on site or any other retired people or widows/widowers, live-in staff, and attached single adults. A homestead may also include a shop and it may, at the pleasure of its Freeholders (the primary married couple), include some space it leases to the public.
The extended homestead, which serves a household group, can be a cluster of homesteads distributed within a few buildings or a single building.
Our concept of an extended homestead villa is generally a single building with multiple condos or apartments clustered around common spaces and which includes spaces that might serve the general public, platform subscribers, or non-residential peers of that small extended household group. The homesteads may form wings or sections within the villa, ideally around a courtyard or commons.
Villas with wings and sections for each household, are preferred where land is precious and in urban areas, but would always be self-sustaining for food and energy, regardless of where they are. 100% basic food and energy independence is our goal, especially at the level of the whole household community.
Regardless of the style, the extended homestead of the household group is generally meant to be relatively food and energy independent through sustainable food production and energy production on site. It will also contain any shops or offices operated by its members, including residential and non-residential members. It may or may not include residential or commercial space for non-Peers, while the estate always will, at some stage of its development.
The homestead community of around 120 adults is made up of people who have a strong organic cohesiveness, they are a single extended family unit in our culture. As noted, the goal here is 100% food and energy independence.
This body of people own shares in a mutual benefit corporation that owns the housing and commercial spaces, while a separate chapter entity affiliated with a Branch Society owns any common facilities which serve its fraternal or benevolence functions. It should be noted, the individual household groups may have their own separate mutual benefit corporations that are connected to the larger estate’s mutual benefit corporation.
So a single estate for a household community of around 120 adults may contain 50 residences for members of that extended multi-family household (household community) and another 30 residences for people who aren’t part of the household community.
An estate may include extended homesteads based on a group of houses/homesteads or these villas and/or a single larger building, called an estate castle, even if it doesn’t look like a castle. It may contain a central villa with most common facilities and smaller villas and clusters of individual houses in some combination. It may be a single “castle” but also have a farmstead or one or more extended homesteads, one of which is a cluster of houses and one of which may be a single villa.
Whatever the physical structure, households will consist of the main residence and attached apartment or suites for dependent adults, live-in staff, and attached single adults. But there will also be space for retired people, widows and widowers, and unattached single adults within the larger estate.
Note also, retired older married couples, widows, and widowers would mostly have a residence within a household group’s extended homestead while unattached single adults would be housed within the estate itself but not within an extended homestead.
An estate would also include housing for subscribers, housing for the public, a market with space for members and the public, perhaps a micro-facturing facility, an open market like a flea market, a small health and fitness center, refugee housing, and space for emergency and transitional housing. An estate may also include a farmstead of a few families who specialize in some aspect of food production. These other housing options would likely be interspersed between extended homesteads, even in a single building.
This is also important because we do not want to see non-Peer residents or unattached single adult Peers living in detached isolation from the household groups or for the household groups to become insular. We won’t allow non-Peer residents to feel second class or to feel excluded from the community.
All in all, one may see around 200 total adults living permanently in an estate. This would include 120 peers, perhaps 10 or so resident subscribers, 20 or so residents who are neither Peers nor subscribers, maybe 20 or 30 non-permanent adult residents who may be people in crisis, refugees, or guests (like an air bnb) and students who are attended an on-site immersive learning experience.
It cannot be emphasized enough that our concept of clustered living is not isolationist and nor do we advocate for any form of discrimination in housing. It is really only the smallest cluster, the household group with its extended homestead, that may be exclusively “Upadarian”, though even these may lease space to subscribers and the public to offset costs. Picture a Roman Villa with the “family” living in the main area and a front area that includes shops and little apartments and you get the feel for a Upadarian Villa.
The core idea of a multi-family extended household, the household community, is the household group, formed around households. In this group, the participants treat each other as an extended family and have a familial structure that engenders mutual support. Each household group of 3-5 nuclear families and attached single adults views the well-being and success of all its members as equal to their own and each household group views the well-being of the other household groups within its household community as equal to its own.
We call the homestead for a single household a Freehold when it is based on the Upo model, or sometimes a “Upo Freehold” to make it clear we are specifically referring to a Freehold organized on the Upo model.
The household groups are called “Kinship Groups” when they are based on the Upadarian nationality. They would likely mostly be people who are either relatives by blood/marriage or extremely close friends for whom a familial bond is natural and not forced.
The Upo version of the household community is called a Shirehold, the body of around 120 adults, when it is based on the Upadarian nationality, or a household community in generic terms.
Conceptually, we have a household as the nuclear family with any attached single adults, hosted refugees, grandparents, and live-in servants, we have a cluster of households called a household group, and a cluster of household groups called a household community.
In our branding, a Upadarian household is still just a Upadarian household, they live on a homestead called a Upo Freehold. A Upadarian household group is called a Kinship Group and their extended homestead is generally called either a Villa or a Freehold Cluster.
A Upadarian household community is called a Shirehold. They live within a single building called a Shirehold Castle, with Freehold Keeps and Wings for Households and Kinship Groups, respectively. Again, these terms apply even if the building isn’t a castle in appearance. If they have a more distributed model, they are called Shirehold Estates.
The major legal structure for the homestead, extended homestead, and the estates is the mutual benefit corporation. Owned by the peers, it also owns spaces leased to non-peers.
The relationship between the mutual benefit corporation and the people leasing residential and/or commercial real estate is that of a provider to clients. The provider is the MBC which uses profits for both the mutual benefit of shareholders and for any benevolence they are committed to.
As an important aside, we should note here that the larger Upo Hub Community will likely host other mutual benefit corporations whose form of organic cohesiveness may be religious, philosophical, or ethnic.
The land is owned by an area chapter community of a Branch Society or by the Branch Society itself. These land trusts will all be connected to an international land trust operated by the international NGO as part of a plan to gain some form of sociocultural and socioeconomic standing like unto an indigenous tribal homeland or reservation.
An autonomous (as in not formally operated by a chapter entity of a Upadarian Branch Society) Upo Community may have its own land trust owned by a different entity operated by its Peers.
So then each of these estates are like little pluralistic communities, with the core being a body of people who have a form of organic cohesiveness based on being peers of our spiritual nation. But other similar estates may be operated by other groups with an organic cohesiveness based on something else.
These then are Upo Estates if they are based on a mutual benefit corporation that is owned by Peers of Upadaria, or Household Estates if they are operated by different groups based on their own version of organic cohesiveness, or Free Estates if they are operated within the broader framework of the Freedomist Declaration.
A Upo Hub Community will consist of multiple Upo Estates, Free Estates, Household Estates, a Core of some kind operated and owned by the chapter entity, and even housing developments owned by the chapter entity that serves subscribers and the public. Other areas will be set aside for special developments, like Farmsteads of a few families who specialize in food production, or natural preserves. A ratio of at least 30% of all land remaining undeveloped and protected is envisioned.
Also important to note is that these Estates are all dispersed in a hodgepodge pattern, instead of having whole sections of the Hub Community being this or that. The space for general housing offered to the public is also interspersed into the whole.
Another important note is that while conceptually and theoretically we believe people have a right to even form whole private communities based on common ancestry or race, we think it’s a terrible idea and is morally suspect. Therefore, any would-be household estate or free estate that wishes to be based on race or bloodlines wouldn’t fit into our community. For instance, a household community based on its version of Mexican culture could exist but must have cultural standards as its criterion, not bloodlines or ancestry.
Any household community wishing to apply for space within a Upo Community must agree to the basic standards of freedom with liberty and justice for all, although individuals leasing residential or commercial space only need be legally qualified under US and state law. We respect the fair housing act and also extend it to all people of all identities, orientations, and genders as they understand it.
What makes a Upo Hub Community isn’t a single entity. The land, the Core, and special facilities as well as housing and commercial development are owned by corporate entities that are in turn owned by the chapter entity and/or the Branch Society or even the NGO.
Pictured above, the inner view of a what could be Upo Estate serving a Shirehold (Upadarian household community). Here, all the houses in the foreground may be part of a Kinship Group with one of the houses being a Common House for group activities.
The Estates include the land owned by the land trust, the mutual benefit corporation which owns the buildings, and perhaps a smaller chapter entity which might own facilities for refugees, emergency and transitional housing, common facilities for Society members and subscribers, or ministry facilities.
All these entities would form an association which would provide a governance structure for the overall community. This governance structure, while not ceding any ownership to non-Peers, would accord all chapter members, subscribers within the service area, and all residents of every kind a way to give feedback and to be heard.
Of note, the Upo Community Model, in general, could be used by non-Upo developments as private but pluralistic communities. It has a broader application.
While Upo Communities may have a Central Hub of their own, with common facilities, the Hub Community will have a Core that is designed to serve the support function and this Core will tend to be a Castle and a Citadel with residences for key staff, official residences for leaders of the chapter entity, space for asylees who have become Peers, and space for students as well as spaces reserved as emergence housing for Peers who do not live on site.
The Castle is the main administrative center, the Citadel surrounds the Castle and also has facilities for Peers only, subscribers only, Christians only, and residents only. While some form of market may be placed in the outer perimeter and while special events or even public tours may allow the public in on a limited basis, for the most part this area isn’t open to the public on on a normal or more than limited basis.
Again, these are designations even if the structures aren’t modelled on some version of a Castle and a Citadel. However, ideally, and importantly, the Hub should be somewhat of a tourist attraction and have a connection to history, like a Roman fortess or a medieval Castle. The Citadel may appear to be a walled village around the Castle.
One expectation is that the Core of a Hub Community will be built first, so initially the “community” may seem rather unitary. It is important that the community quickly get beyond this initial stage.
The overall Community Development Plan should seek stakeholders and participants as early as possible so that each developer be it a business, ministry, mutual benefit corporation, or whatever, is assigned an area to begin building and develop autonomously and at the same time the Core is being built.
The Core itself may begin with the main Keep of the Castle, then each section or separate Tower/Keep for the whole, then the Citadel.
As for the whole Community, the the planning group will assign another entity, a Microshire, consisting of 3-5 Shireholds and all the other household communities and other developments within its area, a Ward to oversee. A Community may consist of 1 to 20 Wards, depending on its size. A group of 10-20 Wards within a single contiguous Upo Community would form a Precint within a City, for much larger developments.
In specific instances the actual terms used may vary, so keep in mind we are using these terms in generality. The point is that a Upo Hub Community would have a master development plan but would be developed in a decentralized way through the autonomous entities which are either constituents of the whole or clients.
Thus we have covered briefly, the concepts and basic structures and organization of a Upo Hub Community. In general, with the expectation it doesn’t have a full-fledged Core, the same ideas apply to any Upo Community down to independent Estates for a residential Upadarian Shirehold, Upo Freehold Cluster for a residential Upadarian Kinship Group, or a Upo Freehold for a single Upadarian Household.
Pictured above, an Armenian Monastery, this is a good stand-in for a larger Upo Freehold, or a small Freehold Cluster or small Shirehold Castle.
These residential single Upo Freeholds, Upo Freehold Clusters, and Upo Estates, would not necessarily be hubs, but they would serve the greater community of non-residential Peers, subscribers, fellow Christians, and the the public.
All Upadarian Chapter entities and, all Peers, individual households, as well as subscribers, fellow Christians, and the public at large would be served by the Hub Community. This hub community would be the very emnodiment of a free and pluralistic society of equals and would be a safe haven and refuge for Peers of our spiritual nation and fellow Christians.
