The Starfire Foundation is something that has been prophesied for hundreds, even thousands of years and has existed in the minds of the Creators for literally millions of years. It's coming manifestation is something to truly celebrate with open arms and hearts. With it comes the fulfillment of dreams of understanding, justice, togetherness- the realisation of true values within the protective aura of this wondrous vehicle. Let us shout for joy together at it's coming arrival!
Nevertheless, many organisational details need to be established so that it's unveiling can be safely accomplished. As one of it's primary purposes is the opening of links to Higher beings and the channeling of messages from them to a wider humanity, it needs to be a safe, yet open-minded environment. Such safety is predicated by good hearts and intentions, but in the real world of human behaviour we need to be ready for when people get confused and act from less than their best instincts. By wisely anticipating possible problems, we can safely avoid them, without losing the sense of loving freedom which is the very essence of our lives.

The model for such arrangements has to be the wise, loosely federal order of the USA and more recently, of the EU. Whilst the lead teacher and guide, myself (or whoever should one day replace me) may have many good qualities, he is still merely a human being. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". There needs top be a dispersal, a division of power, such that will also ensure the smooth running of the Foundation's various activities and the stability of any communities that may arise in the warmth of it's light. Consultation with heavenly powers will help to finalise and customise such arrangements, but even now their form can be dimly viewed-
The Guide (approved by the Arrangers)
The Panel of Arrangers (elected by the council)
The Legislative and Representative Council (elected by the community)
All branches of this 'divinely inspired government' will need to be in accord for important decisions and moments of policy. The democratic element ensures that there is a break on any rampant exhibition of power-tripping in any of the other branches, yet the existence of the other branches ensures that there is a divinely-inspired aspect to this government that might otherwise be left to chance or faith alone, with no clearly manifested presence. Note that there is here a distinction between 'church and state' (the elected branch being more closely 'The State'), yet there is no longer the secular separation of the two. This separation, so necessary during the dark ages in which Religion sought to suppress the emerging sciences, is held to no longer be necessary and hence is softened if not entirely eliminated by a mere 'distinction' of the two.

Some glimpses into the type of arrangements to be expected can be presented here. In it's daily workings, the guide is open to questions from all and can offer illuminating responses to the questions posed by the community, who arrange appointments to visit him or her. It should be remembered that this is something of a monastic community, predicated upon the search for truth and one which may in fact take millenia to accommodate the desires of humanity as a whole, desires which should grow closer to those of the community rather than the community conforming in any essential way to the surrounding society's mores.
In the community voting will be a common practice, often in the style of referendums. Despite the emphasis on divine guidance, it is very much an expression of both individual and collective free-will, however paradoxical that may at first appear. The divine guidance is sought to be followed freely, openly, with a loving heart- just as it is so offered. With certain issues, children will have a far greater say than is to be expected conventionally. The reason being that their future is also affected and that on these certain issues the children may even be more aware than certain adults of the right path to be taken.
The community shall have a rich cultural life. Music is something central to the life of the community, as it stimulates emotional warmth and the appreciation of what life itself is about- and the community is seeking ways to enjoy this adventure in a spirit of togetherness. Spiritual or deeply emotional music is emphasised, yet there is room for all genres.
Periodically, group meditations shall pool our spiritual energies in an openness to God's will and to better facilitate our harmony with the universe. Those who are ready will participate in sessions seeking to contact higher beings, with the purpose of loving communication though not worship of them- such worship being only directed towards God, a rule that all authentic ascendant lifeforms respect.

The presence of rules and decrees is to protect all from dangers, dangers that might not be immediately apparent. Yet in both the worldly and spiritual spheres they exist and would snare the unaware, were it not for protective legislation. People will freely join the community and equally freely participate, but severely anti-social behaviour, behaviour exhibiting a contempt for others, will not be tolerated.
The community will tolerate and even embrace all sorts of ethnic, religious and individual differences, but the one thing it will not tolerate is intolerance itself. This includes any form of harassment, bullying, cruelty, discrimination or other similarly ill-intentioned behaviour. Such disputes will be resolved as often as possible with patience, prayer and mediation, yet in extreme cases preventative punishments may be necessary, as proscribed by the legislative council. In certain cases outside legal intervention may even prove necessary, if the laws of the land are violated. the 'liberal' nature of the Foundation's endeavours should not be confused with vulnerability or any softness with evil. The rights and feelings of the innocent are what we gather together to cherish and protect. Together, in a spirit of charity, we shall do just that.
