THE SOLUTION - GLOBAL GOVERNMENT OF HUMANITY - THE HUMAN BROTHERHOOD IN ACTION

GLOBAL GOVERNMENT OF HUMANITY - THE BROTHERHOOD IN ACTION

DISPOSITIONS

1 - To conform only one NATION with Free Beings, recognizing themselves as what they are, accepting themselves as what they are, loving themselves as what they are: PURE LIGHT!.

2 - To conform only one RACE inside the external multiplicity, making space to the Divine Archetype, Male-Female, the Androgynous Light!.

3 - To conform only one RELIGION with conscious beings that The Father-Mother-Love is the Only Light Source, and therefore it cannot have separatism among Beings bound by LOVE.

4 - To conform only one CURRENCY establishing the RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE from Being to Being, for what Love will allow the reciprocity among the Beings.

5 - To conform only one SCHOOL where it learns how to Love, to recognize the Divine Essence that lives in each human, being the Principle Matrix, the Cohesive Force of Love with its fluency of the Divine Wisdom, fulfilling the Being with Its Light.

6 - To conform only one FAMILY free of the racial, genetic or ideological separatisms. Safeguarding each Being like what it is: Son of the Father-Mother-Love, and therefore co-participant of the Universal Family.

7 - To conform only one LANGUAGE striping of the idiomatic semantics, to reaffirm through the Emanation of the Love, the Electrostatic Communication from Being to Being.


STATUTE 1

TO RE-ESTABLISH ONLY ONE NATION

It is essential to clarify that Planet Earth, through political evolution, has gradually been divided into territorial regions according to man's col-lective desire for regional sovereignty. Man has forgotten that Planet Earth is a living entity and has suffered from the ignorance of the pursuit for ter-ritorial possession, reducing the nation state to the level of separatist entities, and obscuring the fact that there exists but ONE PLANETARY BEING, INDIVISIBLE AND INCORRUPTIBLE.

Man must focus intently on the Light Nucleus in order to understand that external demarcations have been permitted so man could develop his Divine potential within the uniqueness of each territory, and could anchor in its center a specific Divine Radiation. Its inhabitants, becoming conscious of this unique radiation, could interchange with other beings, allowing for cultural and spiritual differences while perceiving the PRES-ENCE OF ThE FATHER-MOTHER, simultaneously reaffirming the unique Divine Nature of each Being.

But man has forgotten how to regain his Divine Rights. Since this ideal has not been fulfilled yet, man is still bound to his local territorial status, often prohibiting entrance to other peoples interested in seeking what their Being needs for growth and expression in the Divine Unity. Man has pur-posefully perpetuated external struggles in order to conquer more terri-tories to annex them. This fracticidal struggle should end, and it is the DIVINE WILL THAT PLANET EARTH RETURN TO ITS LUMINOUS ORI-GIN, where men can go from one place to another without requiring any form of identification, or be rejected because of language, color, race or creed.

Ultimately, no government owns any land, lives, treasures or goods found or produced within their boundaries. It is essential to return to the original Divine Unity of Being to understand why this must be so.

All people must understand that the authority vested in one man over another does not make him an owner or possessor, nor make him superior to another at any given location on the planet.

It is essential that THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE guiding each nation be clearly understood since each nation is a receptacle of light for a predetermined Radiation emanating from THE HOLY HEART OF THE FATHER-MOTHER.

It is essential to understand man's self-imposed barriers are closing the doors to the many opportunities offered by the FATHER-MOTHER to Their Sons in different geographical locations. If man is con-scious of this, he should take this into account and realize the significance of these limitations and how they choke his inner Being, plunging him into the shadows of separatist ignorance. The great mission is to begin the process of enlightenment whereby we will have a planet which is free of lim-itations or barriers, and without canons and codes: a true self-government.

IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LIGHT ORIGIN OF THE PLANET, WHERE LIFE ITSELF WAS MARVELOUSLY WITNESSED BY THE SONS OF THE FATHER-MOTHER.

It is essential to realize the inalienable right of man to travel to any geographic location on the planet that enriches his life and inner Being with that location's unique Divine Radiation.

It is vital to realize for oneself this PRINCIPLE OF UNITY in order to understand how fundamental it is in order to attain Peace between nations and between man himself on the planet.

By deposing any symbol of power or authority and giving rights to the FATHER-MOTHER-GOD, man will understand and realize his Divine Right of Being Free. Then, in his Original condition, his true state, his true nature can be realized. When man recognizes that he has violated the Laws, earthly as well as Divine, he will be able to enter a Higher Order of Action, whereby he will be covered by the Light, which will assist him in the correction of his errors and enabling him to submit consciously to the Action of THE ONE UNWERSAL LIGHT.

The Divine Plan of forming only one Nation has a solid foundation and human governors and representatives should become aware of what is Being offered to them, since they are Being called to order to set aside all personal desire for power on behalf of the common Good, Peace and Love among men.

The Divine Will of the ALL-BEING infers that man should recognize and accept the DIVINE ORDER. This implies the dispositions of strengths, rights, powers, and desires on behalf of the well being of his brothers. Man is Being called upon to recognize that the road he has chosen will not lead him to any lasting solutions. An alternative is being presented to him; to rec-ognize only one Supreme Governor, GOD, FATHER-MOTHER LOVE. And because of man's obedience to Deity, it will restore to the rest of mankind the Sovereignty of God who sustains the TRUE CONDITIONS AND TRUE RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT.

It is essential to understand that A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT IS BEING SPONSORED, without economic potency, without politics and with-out armaments. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT WHERE LOVE WILL MAGNIFY IN MAN HIS DIVINE CHARACTER; WHERE MAN SHALL BE GOD'S LOVING SERVANT. THIS GOVERNMENT IS POSSIBLE; IT IS HERE, IT IS NOW

It is time that man set aside his pride and desire for power, and rec-ognize he is engaged in a race towards destruction if he does not wise-ly resolve the grave problems he now confronts.

It is time to recognize it is necessary to make way for the Action of the Divine Order, subject to only one Hierarchy which will liberate the planet out of its spiritual darkness.

It is crucial that man relinquish his egoic motives and lower political motivations, and elevate his desires to a superior level so there can flow on the planet the Action of the Divine Command of Love, making the unification of men and nations possible.

IT IS NECESSARY TO RETURN TO THE LUMINOUS SPIRITUAL BEGINNING THAT CREATED LIFE AND RECOGNIZE IT AS THE ONLY TRUE SOLUTION TO CURRENT PLANETARY PROBLEMS, GIVING IT OWERSHIP AND COMPLETE LIBERTY FOR IT TO MANIFEST ITS DIVINE WILL; CONSISTING OF ONLY ONE NATION OF FREE BEINGS, READY TO EXPRESS THE LIGHT THAT THEY ARE.

Through periodic Divine interventions, man has been able to respond to the call of the ALL BEING. IT IS A CALL TO UNITY AND LOVE, so in the fluidity of the light, the barriers that separate nations, cities and men will be broken. Therefore, One Ideal PLANETARY INTEGRATION will result. The Divine Order has now manifested, offering true solutions for the chaos enveloping this planet.

The opportunity has been given; take advantage of it and strive to be CONSCIOUS collaborators with the Divine Forces; executors of the Divine Plan of the FATHER-MOTHER.

Establishing ONLY ONE NATION implies overcoming regionalist dogmas
instituted by human egos, and will provide the way for the MANIFESTA-TION OF LIGHT CONTAINED IN THE CODE OF LOVE and THE GLOB-AL GOVERNMENT OF HUMANITY

This Document serves to clarify to humans that this conscious reception involves the deeper levels of the Inner Being when one is ready to ful-fill this ordinance. It is up to man and to the local governors and represen-tatives to reinforce this Decree, working to center the Light of the FATHER--MOTHER that allows Love to govern his life and permits him to share it with his fellow man.

Geographically,Ghana is split into 2 major parts namely the southern sector and the northern sector.
The Southern Sector comprises Eastern Region,Greater Accra Region,Central Region,Western region and the Volta Region

Ghana's economy is a mixture of third , second class and first class standards of living.Cocoa and mining wealth is the key to the economy not forgetting the newly discovered crude oil at cape three point ready to be exploited.

2. Why do we have project in Ghana
It is undesputable fact that Ghana., rated as a developing country by the World Bank is developing at a fast pace that need the services of our brothers and sisters in the diaspora.IT is vital to come and volunteer with the International Pan African Volunteers in the fields of :

The population of Ghana is approximately 22,931,299.there are numerous spoken languages in Ghana.The most widely spoken languages in Ghana are Akan,Ga-dangme,Hausa,Guan,Frafra and Ewe.The official language of instruction in English.One of the most overwhelming things you will notice in Ghana is how friendly the people of Ghana are.Infact,they are hospitable and very proud of their communities and their country.They respect every calibra of person.It is normal to see Ghanaians calling you in their local dialect "oburoni" ,"blefono" , "yervoo" which means you a foreigner.

Tipping in Ghana is not all that mandatory when you consider the low wages paid.The suggested standard amount to tip is 10% - 15%.If you hire a care it is also important you remember to tip the guys in the city car parks,they look after the car and help to reduce crime.Women are usually refered to as "ladies" and expected to be respected as such.Ghanaians respect any person of any gender who is older than you and as such compliments of the day. Pleasantries must be accorded to any person older than you.

4. Making the most of your placement
Whichever placement you are, doing the most important thing is to go into ti with an open mind.things will not be the same as your home country and it may take you some time to settle into things and get used to the way things are done in Ghana.
As a volunteer you must be able to take the initiative and communicate with local staff as well as other volunteers.You will not always be given a set time table of activities every day and you may ask the project counterpart where they need your help and initiate activities yourself.Do not be afraid to ask.

5. Communications
Mails can be received at the mailing address of the International Pan African Volunteers.If you are on a shorter placement you probably will not get the post before you leave and is advisable you use the internet.The postal system is quite reliable but tends to take a few weeks for international mail.

There are plenty of internet cafes,especially in the cities and the districts.Some host families have internet services at home but is advisable you pay some money as a contribution for internet usage if volunteer will stay for long period.

Some projects/accommodations may let you use their land lines, if you pay for your calls,others have phone card lines for your use .(if you do not use the phone at your project please ensure any outstanding bills are paid before you leave the project/accommodation). Almost all mobile phone networks can cover Ghana., you can buy cheap SIM Cards so that international calls can work out cheaper on your mobile phone.
It is recommendable to use unlocked GSM mobile phones or dual band GSM mobile phones.There is only one CDMA mobile phone service provider in Ghana.It is called Kasapa.

6. Food and drink
Tap water in Ghana is safe to drink in most places.Most of the familiar brands of soft drinks etc are available but you may find that local brands are cheaper than imported brands.
Barbecues (sewya) and local beverages are a traditional Ghanaian favourit.Lots of food and vegetables are features of traditional Ghanaian Cuisine.
Wines,whisky,gins,beverages and canned foods are available all over Ghana.What you eat in your country can be ordered in Ghana in most of the shopping malls that accepts international credit cards.

7. Transportation
Most accommodation is either on - site or within a short walk of the project.Public transport in Ghana is great for both long and short journeys.Our in - country team will be able to help you with your choice of transportation etc.
When you booking your international flight,shop around for a good price.If you are doing a rotation flying in and out from different international airports can prove expensive, it can sometimes be cheaper to book in and out of the same international airport and book a return internal flight

Transfer between centers on the rotation project is not included in the placement price.Our in-country coordinator will help you organize internal flights or coach tickets to transfer between the sites.You will rely on mini vans and buses that are air conditioned for long journeys.Taxis work 24/7 almost allover Ghana and fares are reasonable but it is advisable volunteers oblidge to boarding the trotro.

9. Travel Safety
The most important thing is to keep things in perspective.Ghana (especially Accra and Kumasi) does have some slums that have some crime risk.Volunteers are advised not to visit the slums.You are advised to follow these simple rules for your travel safety when volunteering in Ghana.
* Never carry anything you can not afford to loose
* Do not look like you may have valuables or a lot of cash,expensive designer cloths can put you as much at risk as flashing your wallet or jewelery about.
* Do not resist security personnels
* Listern to the advise of your coordinators and other locals on unsafe areas and general safety tips
* Try not to look lost or apprehensive
* Do not do anything you would not do at home.People often behave differently abroad doing things they would not even consider doing at home.Before you do anything,stop and think "would i do this at home?"
* Do not leave your possessions lying around.It only take a minute for someone to walk past and pick them up.Do not leave your wallet on the table,your bag on the floor etc.
* Always keep two lots of money (an emergency card) e.g. some in your wallet and some in your pocket.this way if you are mugged and give them your wallet you still have enough money to get by until you can sort yourself out

10.Money and Budgeting
The unit of currency in Ghana is the Ghana Cedis (GHC).The GHC has become more stable in recent time.Say GHC 1 is equivalent to $1.Most banks will charge with a commission to exchange travelers cheque.IT is advisable to travel with hard currency and major credit cards.Most shops,banks,hotels and firms honor credit cards.Visa,Master,Amex are major cards that are acceptable in Ghana.

There are forex beaurue in Ghana that you can exchange your hard currency with good exchange rates.In the districts you can rely on the services of trustworthy black market dealers.Your host can direct you to them.


11. What to pack
Remember these are essentials and only you know what you will need to make you comfortable for your stay.If you are staying a long time in Ghana.,you do not need to bulk buy things like shampoo etc.Nearly all the brands in the western world are available in Ghana.

19. Why pay to volunteer?
International Pan African Volunteers (IPAV) Supports good causes worldwide by matching volunteers skills with worthwhile projects in Africa.These program is not supported by external fundings but by the volunteers themselves.We are not a charity nor a not for profit organization and we do not receive financial backing from the Government.The fee you pay covers a number of key services and means that IPAV never pass any costs on to the projects themselves.
Therefore, much of your placement fee does go back into IPAV for a range of purposes.this involves marketing our placements so that we can make people aware of the need for volunteers and paying for the IPAV team.(in country team etc)

IPAV is growing and needs websites and branch offices in USA,Caribbean,Africa and Europe.What you pay for volunteering is allocated towards realizing these goals.Maintaining working relationships with several hundreds existing projects across the world,researching new projects and traveling to those destination for training.

We do not provide finances to the project as this is often fund to have negative result and contradicts the very purpose of our placements.We aim to provide existing local projects with volunteer labor in order to complete activities they may not be able to do otherwise,to help such people improve their community.We aim to help projects to become self sufficient,without the need to rely on hands outs.If you would like to help the project that you are working on, you can apply for funding from any international body.


Your contribution therefore covers:
* A guaranteed worthwhile project selected with assistance from our officers.

* The services of your professional support network prior to departure and in your destinations are trained to ensure that you are provided with safe and secure travel experience we provide 24/7 back up (both in - country and in countries where our volunteers are coming from).

* the cost of your expericen - you do not freeload on the host community,because you are paying your own way.

* The cost of ensuring that your contribution is part of the larger sustainable project which ensures that what tye do realy does make a difference.

Below is a guideline to help explain how your placement fee is used:
1/3 is used for volunteer recruitment and project cost.This includes:
* online and off line marketing
* travel shows
* open days
* developing and maintaining website
* advertising

1/3 is used to support you in the country
* accommodation
* orientation
* co - ordination fee
* a contribution to "save the youth project"

1/3 is used for administration and training cost
* office cost
* salaries
* welcome packs
* staff training costs

20. Fund raising Information
If you are intending to fund raise to help pay for your volunteering trip,we have some resources available that can help you.

You can contact the Ghana team and request for recycled beads,shea butter,glass beads and ornaments,wood carving,batik tie die and other stuffs that can help raise funds to pay for you.


21. HIV/AIDS
Please be aware of extremely high levels of AIDS/HIV infection in Africa.Exposure to blood.blood products,or body fluids may put you at risk or contracting the disease.transmission is predominantly through sexual activities.It is INPOSIBLE to detect HIV status in an otherwise healthy person.Please practice safe sex or abstainance.AIDS is indiscriminate and can be found throughout every society,regardless of who they are or where you meet them they could put you at risk.

If you have been put at risk of the disease please visit a doctor or tell your In country coordinator straight away.There are treatments that can limit your chances of getting the disease but they need to be administered quickly.Please do not risk your health.Always practice safe sex.

Many people today are separated from nature, not only in a physical way but in the mind and heart as well. Flower essences are unique in that they bring the individual back to nature, and supply what is most needed; nurturing systems with the pure, untainted life-force of nature. Flower essences bring about a renewal of positive energy, relaxation and well being.
