The Blueprint for
a Mature Civilization

Welcome

You Have Found
Solid Ground

This is the home of the Earth Party, and of an idea far older than any party: that law is not something powerful people make, but something honest people find.

Every civilization rests on its answers to a few simple questions. Are you sovereign? If not, then who owns you, and why? Where does authority come from? Who may use force, and when? What do we owe the animals, and the land that feeds us? Ours has answered them badly, and the results are all around us, in our rivers, our prisons, and the weariness of people who have been told that this is simply “how things are.”

It is not. We can do better. This world can be a beautiful garden of happiness and love, if humanity can just get its act together.

And to do that, we must, must, must build our civilization on a solid foundation.

And the foundation of any civilization is its relationship to truth, morality, and Law. Just as a house built on sand cannot stand, a civilization with a faulty understanding of these core fields always veers toward misery, tyranny, and collapse. So we have to get the foundation right.

And a solid foundation is a true one. And the truth of Law is that it is Natural. It comes from Nature. It is part of the fabric of Reality itself, just as logic, geometry, and mathematics are. Law is in the same category. It is discovered – not made.

And the Earth Party has published a readable version of it. Just as Newton found the laws of calculus and wrote them down, we have worked out the principles of Natural Law and written them down, in a codex called The Law of the Earth.

The function of the Law of the Earth is not to decree the Law – but simply to point out what already exists.

The purpose of writing it down is the same as a Math textbook: to help people discover the principles of Natural Law. Or rather, to remember them, since we all know this somewhere inside us, deep down. It’s written on our hearts. But as we were “educated” and “socialized” to the pathos of the current civilization, that understanding became obscured under layers of programming. But it’s still there, and as you read the Law of the Earth, you will probably recognize it as true. True, but just never written down until now.

Anyone, including yourself, can discover these same principles, on your own, just as you can discover calculus on your own, without reading it or being taught it.

The Law of the Earth is the textbook, to make that process easier and far more efficient.

It also serves as a quick and easy reference to show other people, whenever you’re in dispute about what Law is. You can point to the relevant section, and use it as a kernel around which to build your conversation. A lot of people just need to see things written, not merely spoken aloud, in order to take them seriously. So the Law of the Earth serves that function.

Here you will find the Law of the Earth, set down as plainly as we can manage, with the reasoning behind every line, and the Blueprint, a step-by-step plan for building a civilization that keeps it.

Nothing here asks to be believed. All of it asks to be tested.
Read it, argue with it, and if you find it true, help us build.
