I titled it if I became a millionare because millions of dollars in funds would be necessary to get it going right and to keep it going right, in my opinion. I also titled it that so that if I ever do become a millionare I'll know how to spend my money.
The Places of Worship
(The Community Centers)
I would build huge underground places of worship and declare them the community centers. (working out the logistics of drainage) throughout the world.
The Places of worship are to be amidst Farms, Communities are to built in
the vicinity, and Pilgrimage to these places is to be declared
I would establish these places of worship on ecological farms, and also build houses, literally apartments, also mostly underground near these places of worship for people who wish to live near these places of worship, with small guest rooms in each living space to be offered to pilgrims who come to these places of worship. I would then set up the rules for the rites of pilgrimage according to the Koran and make them known. (They buildings are undergound so that the space above them can be used for farming or shade trees or other practical purposes, so that the land won't be wasted.
Libraries in the Places of Worship
I would build a library connected to the place of worship, with language, math (geology, arithmetic and algebra) and science books.
Schools in the Places of Worship
The place of worship would double up as a school, and teachers would be hired, and trained, given room and board and given an allotment of farm products and whatever other benefits that can be given to them for their services.
The Specifics of the Farms
After the attainment of the farms and the building of the places of worship (with altars for animal sacrifices), as well as the other necessary buildings (also underground) for produce storage, silage pits and animal shelters, all of the products on the farm (that work towards its complete self-sustainability) the farm will be established. If in a tropical climate the pastures will double up as orchards (with trees that allow sunlight and don?t kill off surrounding grass growth i.e. coconut and papaya), borders, and any extra space, will be used to grow animal forage grasses, or bushes such as titonia, or grasses that can offer both animal food and human food such as sugar cane. Borders will also be used to grow fruit trees, as orchard borders. All available and economical spaces will be used to grow squashes that can be juiced, beets, carrots and other root vegetables, as well as cabbage, peppers, banana & pineapple, and a huge space will be dedicated to peanuts. That space ?when enough peanuts and shells to last a year can be obtained - will be rotated with other vegetable crops or grain crops that offer up both grains and husks to be used as mulch and bedding for animals.
Human and Animal Wates Logistics
The shells of the peanuts (and the husks of grains) will be used as animal bedding, to mulch the entire farm and for human saw dust toilets (which will be used for compost). All bathrooms on the premises will consist of saw dust toilets. Compost piles will also be along farm borders and near any places that has a bathroom.
Human food & Animal Food
Juicers & heavy duty presses that can produce the juice (including coconut juice) and pulp that will be used on the farm (juice for people pulp for animals). Cows will either be led to pasture and then led away from pasture (better for keeping manure and urine) each morning and evening or electric fences will be set up.
Animal Breeds and Animal Products
Furthermore, the cows will be from a selected breeding program that breeds Jerseys, Guernseys, and 3 different East African Zebu cows, used for meat and milk. The skins will be tanned and sold. Excellent, natural, tanning materials will be bought. Sheep will be of a breed that can produce thin, soft wool and to be shaven and weaved or to be used as rugs .Spindles will be made for wool and for another type of cloth, like cotton, hemp or products from trees that produce sturdy cotton-like material. Chickens will be in cages (with one large cage as a coop, on the coconut plantations where they cannot form nests anywhere else).
Pigeons, ducks, turkeys, guineas and rabbits will also be raised. The rice grown on alternate years with the peanuts is to be used as chicken feed, and cages will be dedicated to the raising of cockroaches so that they can be used as chicken feed also. This cage will use mesh and will utilize whey as feed for the cockroaches. It will be fed to them in the morning and then the chickens will be able to roam freely in the pasture during the day. The geese and ducks will also be able roam freely in the pasture and will have their coops also (the geese and chicken coop will be on the opposite sides of the pasture (as geese are quite hostile to chickens). Duck eggs and geese eggs will be eaten also to control the population of ducks.
Materials, Lands and Equipment
Cardboard and newspapers gathered from cities as waste will also be used for mulch and no-till planting (except for disking). Butter churners, huge commercial blenders and vats for making compost teas, storing water, whey, coconut water, wines/brews and vinegars will also be bought. Bamboo and limestone mentioned in the following segment should be used as building materials. A plot of land dedicated as a bamboo forest must be obtained, as well as the right species of bamboo for building. It would also be a good idea to build a brick kiln if local clay for brick making is available. Oil presses would also be built and the oil derived from orange and lemon peels would be used to make soaps for cleaning things. Ginger, peppers and other herbs will also be grown on these farms.
In addition to the farms two sea operations would be bought, a plot of land (with a lot of sand) connected to the sea would be bought and a pool that accepts sea water (made out of cement and without any drain) would be set up with a green house above it and slots that allow wind to blow through it constantly (if fans are not used). Fresh water cannot be allowed to seep into it. Machines for the farms and this operation would be bought ( a machine featured in Acres Magazine, March 2003) that can turn anything into powder through tornado action (even rocks and glass). All of the dehydrated solid material from this green house would be broken up and turned into powder. It would be brought into the farms to be used as salt, and to be diluted and applied on the farm (diluted with the whey that is produced from cheese making, using kefir culture). The salt would be used to cure meats (bacon and other meats) from all of the animals. The self-sustainable electrical machines featured in Nexus magazine (need to find the article and issue) would be used on the farm operations and the sea operations to supply whatever electrical energy is needed. If streams are on the farms bridges will be built over them. However, underneath the bridges will be aparati to conduct electricity using the constant current of the water.
Additional Sea Operations and its benefits
Furthermore, close to the above sea operation would be a mariner operation devoted mainly to the fishing of clams and oysters (although allowing the clams to rest for certain amounts of time so that they can regain their numbers in population.) The clam meat would be gathered and either eaten fresh or stored in flavored vinegars when not eaten freshly, and the shells would be ground into powder and stored for use with soil improvement or for use in building. Limestone can be used to create building material harder and longer lasting than cement as well as to add calcium and other minerals to farms to enrich the earth. Clam shells are made of limestone. If the sea sand is also made of limestone it too would be turned into powder or if it could adequately be combined with the limestone or used as an alternative to limestone (in building things or to enrich the soil) it will be used as such.
Some boats and adequate fishing material would have to be bought. I would suggest that the boats not be heavy duty and be able to be locally and economically built and used. A ton or 2 tons a month should be an adequate amount of claims to be caught. Shrimp and other fish caught would be used for the same purposes as well as to supply the fisherman with good food. The shells, bones and other inedible parts should be dried and turned to powder with the above mentioned machine and sent to the farms to be used to enrich the farms.
Authorization of above activities
All of these operations would be headed by People Pro-God and its subsequent translations.
Education and its logistics
The schools would be dedicated for the first four to seven years that someone attends them to language learning. The languages that will be taught will be the native language of that country, Classical Arabic, Classical Greek, Classical Hebrew, Classical Latin, Aramaic, English, French, German and Spanish. Two years, four hours a day (or more), each day will be devoted to a particular language.
Classes
Preceding the teaching of any language, for adults will be a class on sounds where students will practice the sounds of all these languages combined and the letters that represent them. This class will also be for children. It will be called Letters and Sounds.
After the task of learning all of the letters and sounds of these languages is accomplished, the next lever will be called Chatter and Literacy.
These classes will be divided into two hours each section. The first section will be devoted to the oral side of a language and the second to literacy in that language. This branch of the school will be called Language Studency, Estudiancia de Lenguas or whatever other phrase that communicates this in the native language of that place.
School Values & Creed
It will be stated clearly that all people who come to this school must be ready and willing to learn. The values of the school will be Godliness, Understanding, Discipline, Appreciation & Humility.
It will be stated at the beginning of any class:
What are the values of this school?
The answer: Godliness, Understanding, Discipline, Appreciation & Humility.
The following questions will be asked:
How does anyone obtain Godliness?
By being submissive to and for God.
How does anyone obtain understanding?
By being a student, at all times and a student of all things.
How does anyone obtain discipline?
By keeping to responsibilities at all times and with all things.
How does anyone obtain appreciation?
By understanding that all things are God?s creations and that life and all that she throws at us is an opportunity to prove ourselves to Him.
How does one obtain humility?
By keeping it in mind that God gives and God takes, that we are born and then we pass, that we are ignorant and then we learn, only to find out that we are still ignorant in many ways. Without His grace we have nothing. And it is only through His grace that we can achieve wonders. The only power that we have is to stand up for God.
Discipline
Discipline problems will not be tolerated. The library will be accessible to all students at any time. Once disruption (which is refusal to cooperate with the comprehension of the subject being taught, along with a refusal to leave the classroom at the moment that the student refuses to participate in studious activity) occurs the student is to be dismissed and is given the chance to take an oath to not continue to be disruptive and to do his or her best to be active in learning the subject at hand under the consequence of punishment. If the student refuses to take the oath, the student is to be expelled from the school and can only audit the class. If the auditor then cause disruption he or she is to be removed by force. However, if he or she breaks the oath that was made the student is to be aptly punished with solitary confinement or 5 strokes with a cane (optimized for pain and minimal skin damage).
If the student will not reform after punishment he or she will be expelled and not allowed back in the school for 1 year. After that year he or she is to see the board of Studency and to have a plea ready for why he or she should be readmitted.
Paper Operation
If a paper operation (paper mill and the production of a newspaper) can be started at the location of the place of worship, it must be.
Community Contribution
Of course as soon as possible the raw materials would be grown on the farm. The family of the people who attend this school must contribute with some benefit to it. If not money then a certain amount of labor on the farms or sea operations.
The School is all-inclusive
As learning should never stop there will be no age limit to these classes.
More Classes and Class order
There will also be a class where the Koran is read and learned. In that class the rules derived from the Koran about how People Pro-God are to govern themselves & how outlooks may need to be changed, are civilly discussed & debated. The conclusions of that the discussion, if the discussers feel that they need to be implemented as a law, will have a public forum of People pro-God once a year before the beginning of Ramadan.
The class in which this is done will be called Godly Politics. Classical Arabic will be mandated as the first language that any student must learn. Also whatever information or techniques there are out there that will clear the students mind and aid him or her in retaining new information will be investigated and used.
All Community members are on equal footing
(Responsibility and Representation as opposed to authority)
Each member of people pro-God is of equal merit and his or her voice can be heard. There will be no authority in People-Pro-God, only responsibility and representation. A member who knows more is not superior to a member who knows less. However, he has responsibility to act according to his or her knowledge and to educate the other member of this organization if they do not know as he or she does. Furthermore any group that feels that they are unified on a certain issue is to vote for a representative, not a leader, who will represent their opinion so that it can be implemented in law. However Majority Vote does not serve the people and therefore will not be utilized. If there is a dissenting minority in a particular group that dissenting minority must be logically and civilly convinced or must form a new group whose representation is entitled to be heard. If a representative represents his group in a way that they do not approve of, and thereby misrepresents them they can choose a new representative after he has represented once. If the amount of representatives becomes huge a representative can be chosen among representatives, but the common ground that they agree on must be accepted by the group opinion that they represent. Furthermore all of the opinion must be decided in light of the Koran. If the opinion can be shown to clearly go against the Koran it must be rejected. But any opinion that might be thought of as going against the Koran must be civilly debated. The grammar of Classical Arabic must be taken into account when debating about the Koran. Therefore the works of grammarians can be cited. But any evidence that hints at the religious interpretation of a word outside of what the word validly means in Classical Arabic must be rejected. Context is valid but once the word is pulled out of context the previous context is not valid any more and a new context must be given. This means that if a specific word is pulled out of the sentence it is used in and left to stand alone the context that that sentence gives cannot be applied when the word is not being examined within the sentence.
Division of Activities into Titled Committees[/b]
The Language Studency and all forms of education should fall under the Committee for Betterment, Vindication & Virtuosity whose creed should be ?Bettering the people through Valuable Education and Strong, Godly Support.? The committee is to meet for the resolution of problems, the discussion of problems or for improvements. All people pro-God must support the cause of Wholesome Betterment, according to the Koran and all are apart of this committee. It is the people who can commit their time to this committee that will be representatives for people pro-God in this aspect. Any one active in Language Studency or any other form of education, campaign or deed that leads to the wholesome betterment, vindication, and virtuosity of people is to be a representative of this committee. There will also be another committee called ?The Committee of Collective and Personal Protection?
Publicity
All advertising literature that is to be publicly handed out is to explain in clear and brief terms the beliefs of people-Pro-God and the rites and rituals that it practices. It is to be stated that this is an organization of people submissive to and for God and being pro-God, or being submissive to and for God is its religion, and that it upholds the Koran as God?s message. Moreover, it will state that one does not have to be apart of this particular organization to be submissive to and for God. This organization is just one of the possible organizations of people out there that are pro-God, or people that are submissive to and for God. The name of this organization just, matter of factly, represents exactly what the group believes it is, that is, people that are pro-God or people pro-God.
The promotion and organization of pilgrimages to the holy sanctuaries built around the world would be in full accordance with the Koran. Furthermore, it would work to familiarize all people in these places of worship with each other and provide opportunities for travel to different places to live with other people pro-God so that they can learn the languages of other places and assist people?s exposure to God?s message and its understanding.
Libarary Matierals
The books to be had in the library will be the most original and authentic lexicons of Classical Arabic, Classical Hebrew, Classical Latin, Aramaic, Spanish, Native tounge, French and English, books that explain the grammatical aspects of these langauges and extensive books in these languages. As well as books on colloquial variants of languages and the existence of this phenomenon.
Other Classes
Another 7 years or less can be dedicated to the study of math. This aspect of Education would be called Measurements. It would include a general understanding of math and then its applications in mechanics, that is carpentry, geology (including trigonometry) in detail. A mastery in both the languages and math is the goal and when one completes 4 hours a day each day for all of these years one will be given the title of ?Grounded Student? in what he or she has been studying.
Another class will be called Tuning Intelligence & Seeking Wisdom & Value. It will be a class that will deal with the discussion of people?s beliefs about anything and views on reality and analysis of whether these beliefs or views are founded in Intelligence and Wisdom or not. The conclusions of each class, if any are made will be written down and any following conclusion that amends previous conclusions will be recorded to have amended a particular conclusion that was stated before. Information from any of the other classes can be mentioned in this class. A ball can be passed around to give everyone a chance to speak, or two balls or three balls depending on the amount of people in a particular group.
Practical Skills will be another class where things such as cloth making, sewing, knots, rope-making, fire-making, food preparation, first aid, herbs and their uses, animal identification, plant identification, farming practices, paper making and other practical skills will be taught.
All of these classes will be under the Committee for Betterment, Vindication and Virtuosity.
Military
The Committee of Collective and Personal Protection is essentially the Military. It includes all of the members of People Pro-God. Military and Combat training is mandatory upon all members of People Pro-God. The representatives of this committee are responsible for devising and promoting games that highten the public?s strategic mental powers, disipline and combative keenness and bravery. All members of people Pro-God are to be militarily trained ?to the teeth? so to speak. The creed of the Committee of Collective and Personal Protection is
?People Pro-God stand in unison, united as brothers and sisters in God, prepared to live, die, suffer and persist all in God?s cause. We pledge to wage war with sharp minds and determined hearts with horrifying violence but only to protect ourselves from abusive aggression. We shall show compassion to those who do not attack us and an unrelenting viciousness to those who do. We vow friendship to each other, to never begrudge one other, and to love and hold to each other with binding hearts out of our love and loyalty for God, His laws and His decrees. We vow to never to let our hatred for any swerve us from being just because we fear God?s fury and we certainly fear Hell. We shall be the sword and dagger of defense for all those who are unjustly attacked, harmless to the just and godly but a ferocious annihilator of the belligerent & the abusive.?
As a subcreed of reverence for God could be this poem:
"God is more beautiful than any woman and any man.
He is more admirable and He is much stronger than anyone in all the lands.
God has much better things to say.
And God is better in each & every way."
(These creeds are obviously specific and they can be translated or their equivalents chosen in other languages.)
Representatives of this committee work just as the representatives of other communities. Since they represent the community and the community has elected them they are to be obeyed in time of war and to hold command (although not superiority) for as long as the community believes he or she should. Representatives should hold term for a year and then a new representative is to be elected. However, the Representative can stay in term if a new representative has not been elected. There can be more than one representative, but these representatives have to work in union and when they are chosen they must take a pledge to work together and to agree on decisions that are made. In the case where there is unanimous decision that representatives need to be replaced, a substitute must already be ready to take his place. There is no limit to the amount of representatives and in the case of many representatives another representative can be chosen from these representatives.
Godbless,
Anwar
